G Parmele, constituting the building and ex ecu tire committees of the new club at Carolina Beach, held a meeting last night. The name of! the club was changed from "Atlantic" to "Sedgeley Hall." The name is suggested by that of the old ruins near Gander 'Hall, known as the "Sedgeley Abbey." which, 17 years ago, was the grandest colonial residence of the Cape Fear, and the south wing of which was standing un til about twenty-fire years ago. The arenue of oaks which led from thus mansion fifteen hundred feet to the ocean may still be seen. The plans of the building, as sub mitted by Mr. H. E. Bonitz, were ac cepted. Plans and specifications for the contractors will be ready by Feb ruary 1st, and work will be begun soon after. The building will be of wood. two stories high, with 'an auditorium 30 by 40 feet and a swinging gallery. There are gentlemen's apartment, cus todian's room, ladies' parlor and lunch hall on the first floor. On the second floor are four sleeping rooms. A two- story rerandah will run entirely around the house. Separate bath houses for ladies and gentlemen are connected with the club house. INSTALLATION EXERCISES.

INVITATION TO LUMBERMEN ladostrUl Enterprises Discussed Ad vsotires Offered by Wilmlnrton for Cotton Manafactnrinr Special Meetinr to be Called. The regular monthly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held at the rooms of the Chamber yesterday af ternoon at 3.30 o'clock. Mr. Jas. H. Chad bourn, Jr.. the president, was present, as was also the secretary, Col. Jno. L. Cantwell. Tho minutes of previous meetings were read and ap proved. Mr. It. M. Woscott was elected a member of the Chamber, af ter which reports of committees were called for. Mr. M. W. Jacobi, of the committee for arranging a banquet, reported that the Orton Hotel had submitted two menus, which were being considered, and that the banquet would probably be arranged for about the middle of the month. Messrs. Gabriel Holmes and H. C. McQueen were added to the committee. Mr. J. A. Arrlngdale stated that a body of about 150 lumbermen from Ohio and Pennsylvania were contem plating a trip to Norfolk and other coast towns including Wilmington, implying that it would be a good idea for the Chamber to extend an official invitation to them to come here. On motion of Mr. T. F. Bagley such an invitation was ordered extended and a committee representative of the timber interests here appointed to make arrangements. Messrs. J. A. Arringdale, W. L. Parsley, James H. Chad bourn, S. Northrop, G. W. Kid der and UoL f . W . r oster were ap pointed. A communication was read from C. R. Capps, general freight agent of the S. A. L.. asking if briar root could be procured in this section. Several mem bers stated that it could be had in this and adjoining counties. The Chamber will take pleasure in putting those who would like to grow and sell briar root in communication with the parties inquiring about it. A communication was read from W. L. DeRosset,in behalf of the family of the late Dr. A. J. DeRosset, ac knowledging the receipt of official copies of the proceedings of the Cham ber and the Produce Exchange in taking action on Dr. DeRosset's death. Letters were read from recently elected members assuring the Chamber of their support. The President referred to an article in the New York World showing the inability of cotton mills in the North to compete with mills in the South.' Mr. Chad bo urn thought that an arti cle setting forth Wilmington's advan tages as a location for a cotton factory, if placed before the Northern mill owners, might induce one or more to establish a' factory here. Sir. Hugh MacRae was invited to speak about the matter. He said that there were other towns and cities hich offered more liberal induce ments than Wilmington does, and they therefore got the factories. But Wilmington's natural advantages were all that could be desired. Coal can be brought here as cheaply as to other places ; the staple can be had in plenty, Wilmington being a cotton export town, and freight rates are very reasonable. Local capital, how ever, Mr. MacRae thought would have to be invested before anything could be accomplished. Mr. W. E. Worth said that some years ago the "Chamber of Industry" had been organized for the purpose of encouraging factories, and that the Chamber got a bill passed authorizing the city of Wilmington to contribute $150,000 for encouraging manufactur ing enterprises in the shape of re turned taxes. The bill was submitted to some of the best lawyers, who de cided that it was constitutional. But for some reason the matter was not pushed. Recently the committee had resumed work and were going to co operate with the Chamber of Com merce and Produce Exchange in con certing plans whereby new manufac turing concerns can get the benefit of the legislative act referred to. Mr. Worth went on to say that coal could be procured here by manufacturers as cheaply as in the New England manu facturing towns. The matter of getting cotton facto ries and of reviving the old law was further discussed by Messrs. Hugh McRae, B. F. Keith, M. W. Jacobi, T. W. Clawson and Col. Walker Taylor. Mr. M. W. Jacobi recommended that steps be taken looking to the tele phone connection of Wilmington with Lumberton, which would bring it into communication with Maxton, Benetts- ville, John's, Hasty and a num ber of other towns. On motion, a committee consisting of T. W. Claw- son, A. B. Skelding and John W. G afford, was appointed to look into the matter. Mr. Hugh MacRae recomended the wisdom of the Chamber's holding a special meeting to take action on the report of the Monetary Commission, issued at Indianapolis. . He thought that the report embodied meassure of currency reform that would cure nine-tenths of the financial ills from hich the "country suffers.. If the Chamber should have a meeting and endorse the report, at the same time urging imi1ar bodies to take like action the result would be deci dedly beneficial to the cause of cur rency reform. Mr. B. F. Keith said that the Cham ber ought to be careful in recommend ing this or that method of financial reform. . Mr. T. D. Meares thought that Mr, MacRae's remarks were quite in point. A resolution was passed calling a meeting as suggested by Mr. MacRae. The President recommended that articles on the different branches of trade be prepared and published in the Southern Milling and Lumber Com pany. On motion the Chamber adjourned. YES, IT WAS A "SCOOP." A Contemporary Fails to Explain Why It Was Behind On An Interesting News Item. The Messenger Of yesterday, refer ring to the "Scoop" on the Postmas tership made by the Star in its issue 01 .Dec. lth. and which it calls "a 'scoop' in the soup," says this: "The' readers of the Messenger have been waiting for 'reliable in- formation' with regard to the post mastership question, and 'reliable information' will be found in this morning's issue of this paper, by which it will be seen that instead of Mr. Albright's having received the appointment as postmaster, and such 'a nice little scoop' made, that Mr. Wm. H. Chad bourn walks of with the plum." This is an explanation that does not "explain why the Messenger failed to print an important piece of news. The item referred to was not only interest ing, but was based on reliable infor mation. Here is a copy of a letter written by Mr. Hyams, Senator Pritchard's clerk, or private secretary, to several leading Republicans of Wil mington, aad on which the Star's scoop was based : "Washington, Dec. 17. "I am directed by Senator Pritch ard to say to .you that after care fully considering the matter, he has decided to recommend the appoint ment of Mr. Albright for Postmas ter at Wilmington." Could anything be plainer ? Sena tor Pritchard controlledjjne appoint ment, being the only Republican Sen ator from the State, and there being no Republican Representative from the Sixth Congressional district. Mr. G. Z. French, the active candidate against Mr. Albright, and several oth er leading Republicans, when asked about the Pritchard letter, said substantially: "That settles it. Albright will be Postmaster. " And it did "settle it" for the time being, and until a new "deal" was made in which Mr. Albright was a leading fac tor, and which could never have been made without concessions satisfactory to him. The statement in the Star of Dec. 19th, "Albright will be Postmas ter, " was just as ' reliable as the state ment in the Messenger of yesterday, Chad bourn will be Postmaster" each statement, at the time it was made, be ing based on the then existing facts. It may be well to remind the reader that the Star has never said that Al bright had "received the appointment. " AT THE OPERA HOUSE. Rhodes' Merrymakers in the Comedy Trois Chapean," Gave Great Satisfaction. The audience was again greeted last night by Frank B. Rhodes "Merry- ma. iters, . 111 1110 uitttc ati uuixicuj jt 1 n tv. iV i Trois Chapeau," which cleariytmadi brought forth the true merit and abili ty of the clever artists presenting the play, Mr. Dan Castello as Sam Selicyn, the wayward husband, played his part "bang-up," not leaving the slightest action by word or speech, as near as the writer of this could detect, to be improved upon. If any in the audience were unfortunate enough to have been in his predicament, he is a good tutor. The other end of the household was ably and cleverly sus tained by Miss Lylene Radcliffe as his wife, Mrs. Sewlyn. Miss Mayme Chil dress, the charming little soubrette, also deserves special mention. When ever she appeared the audience showed their appreciation by a tremendous applause. The play from start to finish is fun- making and every one in 'the cast was right there. The specialties, as usual, were good, new and up-to-date. We are glad to know that Mr. Rhodes is improving and will be able to appear in the title role of " Hump ty Dumpty" at the Saturday matinee. To-night they will present "On the Yukon." Admlssi3n,10, 20 and 30 cents. A Small Fire.

R Hanna, Charged With the Larceny of Ah Insurance Policy. A SPECIAL TERM OF COURT. Trial of Giles Anderson for Murder Set for Tuesday A Large Number of . Other Cases to Be Disposed Of. Yesterday's session of the Criminal Court was taken ugywith hearing the trial of E. F. Hanna, charged with the larceny of an insurance policy. The evidence was all in by 3.30. o'clock yesterday afternoon. Solicitor Rich ardson opened for tbe " prosecution, and was, followed by Mr. Thos. Mac Kenzie, of Baltimore, counsel for the Immediate Benefit Life Insurance Company, and Jno. D. Bellamy, Esq. The defence took the position that the woman gave the policy to Mr. Hanna. She denied signing the re ceipt produced, but two witnesses were produced who swore that she told them that she did sign the receipt and surrendered the policy, but re gretted it ; this statement being made by her before any prosecution was started. The defence also contended that the Company ascertained that the person insured was sick at the time the policy was taken out, that the defendant was a mere employe sent to return all the premiums and reclaim the policy. If the defendant believed that he had a right to take it, because of the for feiture, and if he took it in good faith with or without the consent of the as sured, he was not guilty, as there was no felonious intent. It came out in the course of the evidence that a rival insurance company had offered to pay the expenses of the prosecution. This morning C. P. Lockey, Esq., will conclude the argument for the prosecution. SPECIAL TERM OF THE COURT. udge Sutton issued an order for a special term of the Criminal Court on account of the large number of cases to be disposed of. One of the most important of these is that against Giles Anderson, charged with murder. . He was arraigned yesterday morning ac cording to law, and Tuesday, January 11th, set for his trial. He will set up the plea of self-defence. True bills were returned by the grand jury against Andrew Lavinder, robbery ; Geo. Bland, false pretence ; Alice Sanders, slander; Robert John son et al., resisting officers; and not a true bill against Li la Burriss, assault and battery with a deadly weapon. CALDWELL AND PEARSON SERVED WITH NOTICE. To Appear in Washington and Answer to Charges of Contempt in the U. S. Court. Special Star Telegram Raleigh, N. C, January 6. R. 0. Burton, counsel for J. W.

Governor Russell will return from Washington to-morrow evening, so Alexander says. The Seaboard Air Line has pur chased sixteen acres of land here to rebuild shops and get an increased water supply. A DISAB1ED STEAMSHIP.- Corinthia with Cotton from Wilmington Towed Into St Michaels. A press cable to the Star says : The British steamer Corinthia, Captain Roberts, from Wilmington, N. C, De cember 4th for Ghetn, has been towed in "here by the North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm 11., from New York December 30th for Naples and Genoa, Previous advices from bt. Michaels have stated that the Corinthia was re- Eorted by the British steamer Glenarm ead, from Penarch for New Orleans which put in there January 1st, as having Deen left by her with her ma- chinery broken "down in latitude 40, longitude 558. The tilenarmhead had towed the Corinthia for a while and then had been compelled to abandon her on account of weather. A RICHMOND WISH. We Second the Motion on the Thirty Year Item. Richmond Times. The Wilmington, (N. C.) Star ap pears in a new dress of type and. takes occasion to make the interesting state ment that "more than thirty years since, The Morning Star was found ed by the present owner and editor, and during that period there has been no change in the name, ownership and editorial management of the pa per. " Editor Bernard, therefore, enjoys the distinction of being, in point of continuous service, the oldest member of the daily press in North Carolina. . We extend the compliments of the sea son, with the hope that his useful life may be extended for fully as many years to come. North Carolina Sorosis. The regular monthly meeting of the North Carolina Sorosi was held yes terday afternoon at 4 P. M., at the Y. M. C. A. Three new members were elected and six applications for mem bership were placed on file. LOCAL DOTS. ; The Board of Aldermen will hold the January meeting next Mon day night. A friend -writes as follows; "The Star in its new dress is a gem, and by far the neatest as well as the best paper in the State. " Wilmington continues to be a good distributing point for "Good Luck" baking powder. Four solid car-loads were brought in last night over the C. F. &Y. V. v If you'll "watch and wait" you'll probably see that the Star's guesses printed yesterday in connec tion with the post-office "deal" were not very wide of the mark. The C. F. & Y. V. fr-eight train leaves nowat 3.25 P. M. instead of 3.45 P. M. as formerly. It arrives at Fayetteville at 10 P. M. This! train has a passenger coach attached. The meeting of the Board of Directors of the Merchants' Associa tion was postponed from yesterday at 3.30 P. M. until the same hour to-day, on account of a meetinf of the Chamber of Commerce. One of the curious features of the recent "deal" on the Postmaster ship of Wilmington was the appoint ment of a committee to control all the patronage of the office not protected by the civil service laws. The com mittee consists of J. F. Albright, F. B, Rice and John T. Howe. The present .status of Mr. Sol. C. Weill's case is as follows : He has been sworn in as a member of the New York Assembly, but it -is possible -there may yet be a recount of the vote that might oust him. Still, he has the ' advantage of having been seated, which will give the contestant much trouble. Remains of the Late Mrs. Fulton. The remains of the late Mrs. Cather-. ine Fulton will . arrive from Ports mouth on the S. A. L. at 12.05 to-day, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Wright, their two sons, Messrs.
