Jobnr. A meeting of the Prodace Exchsnge was held at 4 o'clock yesterday after noon to take suitable action in regard to tbe death of Dr. A. J. DeRosset. Tbe vice president, Mr. H. G. Smallbonet, in the absence of tbe president, announced the object ol the meeting. On motion of Mr. C. H. Robinson other citzens than members ot the Exchange were allowed to be present and take part in the pro ceedings. Messrs. James H, Chadboorn, M. S Willard and H K. Nash were ap pointed a committee oo resolutions. Mr. James Sprnnt read a beautiful tribute to tbe memory of Dr. DeRosset, describing in fitting teims all tbe admir able qualities of the man and closing with these words : Mr. President and Gentlemen The teara of ninety-six and ninety-seten are marked to the memory of some of our noblest and oar best George Davis, Alfred Martin, John S. James, David G. Worth. Armand J. DeRosset a galaxy of "moral excellence, the most perfect; ol intellectual ability, tbe most eminent; of fidelity the most unwavering." ' By the llgnt of their loity deeds, and kindly virtues, memory gszis back into tbe past and is content. By the light ol revelation, hope looks beyoadnhe grave Into tbe bright days ol immortality, and is happy." On motion of Mr. C. H. Robinson it was ordered that Mr. Sprant's remarks be appended to the resolutions. Mr. Jas. H. Cbadbourn then read the resolutions, saying tbat he bad known Dr. DeRosset for nearly half a centnry sad the great respect be had for him at first had in more recent years grown into admiration and love. Tbe resolu tions follow: The Produce Exchange is called upon to express its sorrow for the removal from earth of one of its founders, and its oldest charter member. Tbe Excbange was organized in April, 1878. bf twenty-one firms in this city, snd the first name on the list was DeRosset & Co Oa tbe 16th September following, the incorporation meeting was held, and tbe first named incorporator was A. J. DeRosset. and he remained a member until he retired from all business. Bat the mere fact of bis membership of tbis body, while it would justify a formal expression ol grief at bia death, constitutes but the smalleat part of his claim to oar consideration. He was not only an enlightened, public-spirited, and able merchant, but a model of integrity in bosiaess, and bad established that character before a majority ol us were bora. No maa has ever lived in this commnnitt who commanded more uni versal confidence and respect than he, aad therefore it is Rtsolvtd. That in the death of Dr. A. J. DeRoaaet tbis Exchange has lost its most venerable and profoundly respected member, whose stainless character will be cherished as one ol its proudest memo ries, and whose conduct in all the rela tions of lile will serve as an example to those who survive him. Rtsolvtd. That the members of this Excbange be requested to meet at 10 o'clock. Decemoer 11th, and attend the foneral in a body. Rtsolved. That a copy of these pro ceedings be sent to tbe family, with tbe respectful sympathy of tbis body, and be published in the citv papers (Signed) jas H l-hadbourn. (Signed) M S. Willard (S gned) H. K. Nash. Committee. Pending the vote on the resolutions. which were afterwards, on motion of Mr. C E. Borden, unanimously adopted, re marks were beard from Col. J. W. At- klasoa and others. Col. Atkinson said that what im pressed him most in the character ot Dr D:R?s;t was his high sense of integ rity and honor, aod that he had oppor tunities for forming an opinion in tbis matter that m iny others had not. Dr. DsRoaaet was off:red the chance of dis charging his obligations by paying fifty cents oa ths dilUr. bat his (ace was set like a lint against tbis procedure. Cel. Atkinson said farther that in every rela tion of life ths more hs saw of Dr. Ds- Rossst the more profoundly he rever enced and respected him. Mr. H K. Nash said tbat in the loss of Dr. DeRosset the community had ost a model man and one who had been accepted as the noblest work of God an honest maa. Haa there ever been a man wbo lived 90 yeara and who suffered loaa after loss and still hid never had to hang his bead in ahaae ? Dr. P. H. Hoge was invited to address the Exchange, and in the most exqaisite s'.yle and language be eulogized the de parted, saying that he felt like express- ng by his pressnce if ia no other way his seose of the honor due one so good sod so great. Mr. C H. Robinson said that he bad known Dr. DeRosset long, and wanted to add his testimony to what had been said. He was always kind and polite and helpful an unfailing friend and coun sellor. Mr. H. G. Smallbones said tbat Dr. DeRosset was one of the best friends be had ever bad. Then be spoke oi the generous hospitality that was always dis pensed at Dr. DeRcsset's home, particu larly to atrangere and foreigners. On motion, tbe meeting adjourned. WILMINGTON OAS LIGHT COMPANY.

Richard J. Joftis, Secretary. ST. JAMBS' AND ST. JOHN'S EPISCOPAL CHURCHES. At a apecial meeting of tbe Vestry of St. James' church, held yesterday at 8.80 p. m., the following memorial was adopted: 1807. DR ARMAND J. DeROSSKT. 1897. "After life's fitful fever, he sleeps well." The Angel of Death has come again, and brought surcease of labor and pain to this most venerable and beloved of the members of the parisb of St. James'. Dr. DeRosset was called to his rest in Paradise last night at 11 80 o'clock; and with profound sorrow and a deep sense of onr personal loss, as well as tbe loss to tbis church, we. its Vestry, place on our records tbis memorial of our revered Senior Warden. Faithful in all things. to the church, a loyal friend, endowed with a clear mind and sound judgment; these rendered him a power for good, and a wise coun sellor to those privileged to his com panionship. He was the foremost member of tbis parish in influence and efficiency. In disposition hs was genial, in bearing courteous, in dealing just, in benefac tions generous. A few years ago he began to show marked signs of a fatal maladv. His bodily suffering was great, sometimes in tense, but through it all he remained calm and brave and gentle. From first to last, we believe, no word of complaint escaped him. He died as he bad lived. Of Dr. DsRosset's life, amid tbe sacred privacies of his nome, filled as it was witb all that makes home dear, it is not our privilege to speak; but to his family we respectfully tender the assurance that while oar hearty sympathy goes out to them in their present sorrow, we share also in the consolation that that sorrow is softened by the glorious assurance that, "It is well with him." A lite such as bis, rebukes oar grief, renews our faith, and inspires a deeper trust in the wisdom and tbe goodness of God. John Wilder Atkinson, Clayton Giles, Henry A. Burr, Committee for the Vestry. A committee was also appointed to famish a sketch of Dr. DsRosset's emi nent services to tbe parish, to be re ported at tbe next meeting, and to be entered fn the records ot the parish. The Vestry further resolved to meet at tbe church at half past ten o'clock this moroiog, and to attend the funeral ia a body, as a testimonial of their high es teem. A note ot condolence was sent the family of the deceased from Rthe ector Warden and Vestry of St. John's church, in tbe founding of which Dr. DeRosset lent a generous assistance, FUNERAL THIS MORNING. Tbe funeral will take place at eleven o'clock tbis morning from St. James' church. Tbe pall bearers will be: Hon orary W. G. Elliott, W. A. Riacb, R. J. Jones, E S. Martin, James Sprunt, Jas.

Oae of tbe additions to the magazine world Is the State Normal Magazine of Nerth Carolina (Greensboro), an exceed ingly interesting and well edited college journal. The reiding matter which fills the third issue of this magazine is select and choice, and unlike the majority of publications of its class permits others than those of the Alumni to appreciate its worth. Many of the compositions are tbe work of the atudents and show in their portrayal of different subjects liter ary and well trained ability. x The literary notes of tbe magazine discuss authora and their works of the present day in a comprehensive and terse manner, whrle the editorial depart ment is both interesting and instructive. The magazine is published by a board of editors elected from the members of tbe Adelphian and Cornelian Literary Societies of the college, under the direc tion of a managing editor, designated from the faculty. By tbe way, one of the Adelphian edi tors is Miss L'na Wiggins, of this city, class of '98. THE LEASE OF THE C F. AND Y. V. ffatler Details of tba Iisaaa to tba Seaboard Bxohansa of Saooritlea. In addition to what was printed in the Star, the Baltimore Sun of yesterday gives the following interesting details: Tbe proposition of the Seaboard Air Line to lease the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad has been accepted by the reorganization committee. It provides that the holdera of tbe bonds of tbe three divisions of tbe Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad shall receive securities in the reorganized company, which are guaranteed princi pal and Interest by tbe seabiard and Roanoke Railroad, tbe parent company of tbe Sfaboard;system. In addition tons guarantee of the new bonds, the Seaboard and Roanoke agree to operate tbe road tor 75 per cent, of tbe gross receipts and to maintain .the equipment and property in good condi tion. If there is any surplus from tbe remaining 25 per cent, after the pay-' ment of guaranteed interest and taxes, it is to be applied to the payment of a dividend on tbe preferred stock. Tbe bash of exchanging tbe old secur ities for tbe new is tbat the holders of bonds on division A shall receive for their holdings par in a new 1 per cent, bond, principal and interest guaranteed by the Seaboard and Roanoke, and in addition $100 in preferred stock for each 11,000 bond.

Tbia Applies SpollIr to Bond of iha G-sorgis, Carolina and Northern acd tba Cap Fsr tnd Yadkin V,lley. The following from the financial ar ticle of tbe Baltimore Sun of, yesterday is of special interest to those interested in tbe securities of the Seaboard At Line and the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railway: Southern railroad bonds were tbe fea ture of tbe trading at tbe Baltimore Stock Excbange. There was a constant and growing demand for these lines, and the scarcity of high grade goods caused the inquiry to overflow to medium grade bonds and to these of properties which are still in process of reorganiza tion. These lines have advanced rapidly and closed at gains extending up to 10 per cent. . Total sales recorded aggregated $795,500 and is the heaviest single week's business for some years. Prominent in tbe movement were the Georg a, Carolina and Northern 5, which gained 5 per cent., to 91, on heavv sales. The Caps Fear and Yadkin Valley issues also made sharp gains, the Bs and Cs selling up to 58, gains of more than 10 per cent., wbile tbe As brought 69 on Thursday, against 53 bid a week ago. The improvement in these issues was attributed to tbe settlement of tbe differences between tbe Seaboard and Southern Railway, an official announce ment of which was made on Thursday. Tbe Cape Fear issues also advanced oa the proposition of ibe Seaboard to oper ate tbe property on a satisfactory guar antee to the bondholders, the details of which were also announced on Thurs day.
