Dr. Robert Strang is at Chapel Hill this week, conducting morning prayers at the Chapel, and making short addresses at the Y. M. C. A. services in the evening. Mr. Harvey Cox, agent of tho Immediate Benefit Life Insurance Company, was out yesterday, after be ing laid up several days as the result of a runaway on Saturday last. Postmaster Chadbonrn's com mission had not reached him last night, but it is expected daily, and will doubtls3 be here iu time for him to "receive" next Mouday morning. The communication signed "A Subscriber" is respectfully declined for two reasons. First, it is not accom panied with the real name of The writer, and. second, it is entirely too long for our paper. Mr. Wm. A. Willson, Jr., sec retary and treasurer of the Sedgeley Hall Club, invites contractors to make proposals for the erection of the club house. See ad. for further particulars. The usual monthly statement of cotton and naval stores may be found in the commercial columns. Season's receipts of cotton amount now to 2S3.0O6 bales, as against 223,538 boles last year. Yes, it was a "bad day for a fire" yeaterday; but what was the a so of telling it to everybody you met ? It is alwys a "bad day for a fire" when the weather is dry and the wind is blowing a half-gale. A young man named Eldridge Smith was fined 50 and costs in Ra leigh Monday for turning in a false fire alarm. The penalty will be worse than that if any fellow isronvicted of a similar offence in Wilmington. Justice McGowan yesterday placed Frank Robinson, colored, under a 30 justified bond to keep the peace for six months, especially with refer ence to his wife, Nancy Robinson. It sms that Frank has threatened to take his wife's life. He jjave the bond. The Star is reliably informed that, as a further inducement to eco nomically inclined purchasers, Mr. Chadbourn will add to the "bargain counter" at the post-office uekt Mon day, one-cent stamps done up in pack ages of twenty-six each, and that the price will be only one cent and a quarter. It is very gratifying to the members of the Fayetteville In lepen- laeni Lajrni imamrv, ana to tneir w w . - j "troops of friends" as well, to find that the receipts from the "Mid-Winter Fair" amount to more than $1,300, enough to uniform every member of the company in "the highest, style of the art."

I The death statistics as published in the Star yesterday morning from the 1 records of Dr W. D McMillan. Su perintendent of Health, deserve more than passing notice, as they show an annual death rate that is gratifyingly ! small. There were thirty-three deaths of white and colored people during the month, and placing the population at the Very low estimate of 21.000, the annual death rate, calculating I from January as a basis, is only IS. 5 out of every thousand. There were seven deaths of white people during the month and esti mating the white population at 11.000, the annual death rate for whites will be found to be 7.6. The annual death rate of colored people on a population of 13,000 is 24 out of every thousand. BY RIVER AND RAIL Receipts of Naval Stores and Cotton Yesterday. W. At W.

Y. M. C. ASSOCIATION. Large Attendance of Members and Friends at the Celebration of the Tenth Anniversary. ADDRESS BY REV. MR. OLIVER. A Masicsl Prorrimme Admirably Ren dered President's Annual Report Snowlnr the Growth and Work of the Association. The tenth anniversary celebration by Wilmington's Young Men's Christ ian Association will long be remem bered by the concourse of members and friends in attendance, as an occa sion of exceptionable pleasurableness and profit, combining that which is enjoyable in devotion, oratory, music and elocution. The exercises were opened with re ligious services conducted by Rev. P. C. Morton. Mr. A. J. Howell, Jr., gracefully did the honors of master of ceremonies. He also road the annual report, a sj-nopsisof which is subjoin ed to this article. The anniversary address by Rev. Will B. Oliver was an especially ap propriate, able and eloquent effort Space will not admit of a report such at it deserves. In brief, he said the true worth of any movement must be judged by its results. He referred elo quently to the Revolution, the Con federacy, the Cuban war and the Mar tin Luther Reformation. Results of Y. M. C. A. effort were comprehen sively lKJrtrayed. He said that when he came to Wilmington ho was not in favor of the work ; thought it usurped the sphere of the church. But that. he said, he had learned was not true The secretary here has brought to his attention many young Baptists, new comers, whom he could not have found out otherwise, and was a help in innumerable ways. He concluded the address with a fer vent appeal for Wilmington people to stand firm as can be, shoulder to shoul der and heart to heart, for the uplifting and betterment of young manhood, a work especially espoused by the Asso ciation. The address concluded, the musical features of the evening, arranged under the direction of Miss Cannie Chasten, were rendered most admirably as was emphatically attested by the hearty applause and encores of the audience. The programme was ren dered as published in a recent issue of the Star. The selection, "When the Bloom is on the Rye" was sang by Cecelia Quar tette in a manuer which proved the ladies vocalists of exceptionally rare musical talent and culture. They were Miss Cooper and Mesdames Will Latta, J. W. Smith and F. A. Muse. Miss Ida Brown charmed the audi ence with her skillful execution of "Valse in A flat Op. 34 No. 1" by Chopin. A perfect storm of applause followed Miss Maie O'Connor's rendition of "Twilight" from Reddington's Tyro lean serenade. So persistent indeed was the encore that she was obliged to respond and favored the audience with another selection equally as well executed. A recitation, "Robbie Steptoe," by Miss Hattie Taylor, forcibly revealed to the audience great talent and culti vation as an elocutionist. A persistent encore induced her to respond and a ludicrous rendition of various inter pretations of "Cardinal Wolsely's Farewell" from Shakespeare's "Henry VIII," added yet other laurels to her histrionic crown. A piano selection, Lisst's "Polonaise in E," was played by Miss Bessie D Burtt with a vigor and touch exer cised only by skilled pianists. The Cicelia Quartette re-appeared, this time singing Kucken-Hawley s "There is One That I Love Dearly." An encore induced them to repeat the chorus Mr. Mason Burr skillfully rendered a violin solo, Schumann's "Tranmere. Master James Craft played the piano accompaniment. The closing number was "Hunting Song," rendered with marvellous sweetness by a quartette composed of Miss Maie O'Connor, Mrs. J. D. Smith and Messrs. Jas. D. Smith aud H. K. Holden. It was post 10 o'clock when the pro gramme was concluded. President Howell's Report The retiring president, Mr. A. J Howell. Jr.. read quite an interesting annual report, ine ionowing is a brief synopsis of those features of the report which have not been published in receut issues of the Star, viz: It is not, therefore, without the sin- cerest gratitude that we have been per mitted to add another year to our history, and to feel that tne next year will be the beginning or the second decade. On November 5th, 1887, five voune men. Messrs. George Worth. W. M. Cutnming. E. S. Tennent, P. B. Manning and Meier, met and organized tne institution which God 1 1 has blessed with such great develop ment and with such unmistakeable evidences of his favor. Here followed a statement of statis tics as to daily attendance, etc., all of which the Star has recently published. The property of the Association is unaltered in value since the last report; and the Trustees have provided for the advantageous renting of the Associa tion's stores and offices. We have had, however, one mishap to' our firoperty damage by fire on the south rout of the building. For this we collected from the insurance company I3S0.85. The bathing facilities of the Associa tion have been very greatly improved ; so that now there is perhaps in no Association of the size of ours a su- nenor gymnasium ana oatn-room. The floor of the gymnasium has been renewed during the year. Our library and reading room are still perhaps the most important sources or interest to the members and the influence, both educational and pleasurable, which it exerts, is ;n i i. i l a.; f i a a. There is another feature of our work in which we take especial pride. This is the night school. We have an agreement with Messrs. Hockey and Rew, wheceby our members are offer ed educational advantages free. There have been forty scholars who have been" well taught in several branches by these teachers, whose methods and ability deserve high commendation. It is with- pain that we have to re cord the death of two of our members during 1897, Messrs. Rufus H. Chasten and Lavid U-. Worth. These were among our most loyal and yalued members, and the Association mourns their loss. ine x. M. u. A. should establish a high class business college here, in which the members of the Association shall eniov esnecial orivileires. Our Association has had no better friend than Mr. B. G. Worth. If each member of our Association would contribute fifty cents, we could have a handsome portrait of Mr. Worth painted to adorn our walls and to give us in future a pleasing reflection of what we have done to try to show our appreciation of his great services and benelactions for the Association. I acknowledge the most valuable services to our Association of our gen eral secretary, Mr. T. C. Diggs. His great interest in our work nas been shown in every particular, and but for him much would have failed that we have so well accomplished. FAREWELL RECEPTION. By the Friday Afternoon Whist Club to One of Their Number Going Abroad. Miss Martha Williams, daughter of. Mr. G. W. Williams, leaves Wilming-j ton on the 9 o'clock C. F. & Y. V. train en route for New York, where she will join Dr. Peyton H. Hoge and party for a tour of Europe and the Holy Land. She will be joined at Fay etteville by her cousin, Miss Jennie Williams, who will also be a member of the party. Miss Williams is one of Wilming ton's most cultured and esteemed young ladies and her host of friends here regret exceedingly to be deprived of her presence even for so short a time as six months. Yesterday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock the Friday Afternoon Whist Club, of which Miss Williams is a favorite member, gave a sort of informal fare well reception in honor of their tourist fellow clubwomaD. The event was in the elegant home of Mrs. W. A. Dick, and an afternoon of highest enjoyment was spent. There were several interesting games of whist, after which a sumptuous luncheon (one might well say banquet) was served, for there were toasts and happy re sponses complimentary to Miss Wil liams. The shades of night were well nigh fallen ere the club dispersed, reluct antly bidding Miss Williams good-bye and wishing her bon voyage. "THE SUBSTITUTE" To' be Repeated for Benefit of Second Regiment Band. "The Substitute," which was given for the benefit of the Wilmington Light Infantry, will be repeated for the bene fit of the Second Regiment Band. Every member of the company who presented the play has been seen and all declared their willingness to take part in the second performance. And yesterday Mr. W. F. Robertson, of the Dramatic Club, addressed a letter to Mr. Jas. W. Monroe, president of the band, signifying the willingness of the club to comply with President Mon roe's request. The Second Regiment Band is one of the popular organiza tions of the city and one in which the public takes great pride. It is likely, therefore, that a large audience will assemble to witness the second presen tation of "The Substitute," especially as the first performance was in every way so creditable. Stolen Chickens. Mr. J. Albert Schroeder, while on his way home last night about 10.30 o'clock, had an exciting experience with a chicken thief. He was walk ing down Ann street and was at the corner of Third and Ann when he saw a man coming up Ann. lie neara chickens squalling at the same time, and shouted to the man, "put. down those chickens." The thief turned aud ran to Second street and into an alley near the corner of Second and Ann. Mr. Schroeder followed, but gave up the chase after entering the alley and hearing the unknown per son "hustling" over fences and other obstacles. He secured the thief s hat, which is of white wool with a black band, and took it to the City Hall last night to be identified. On his way home Mr. Schroeder found a hen and rooster which the thief had dropped in his flight. He took charge of the poultry, and says he will have chicken pie for dinner to-day. Moss Wanted. Mr. T. D. Meares, General Agent of the Seaboard Air Line, is in receipt of a letter asking for information about moss that grows in this section. It is wanted by the Alabama Nursery Com pany, of Huntsville, Ala. , for packing trees, plants, etc. The variety tnat nas been used nere- tofore is known as sphagnum moss and has been obtained from New Jer sey and Wisconsin; but the nursery company think that they can find in the South a moss that they can use, and wherever it can be found in suffi cient quantities they will erect a plant for baling it and will find a market for fifty carloads pec annum. If the right kind of moss grows in any of our swamps, here is an opportunity for some one. - Mr. Paul Slocumb, of Fayette- villfl. has come to Wilmington to be come Secretary of the Carolina Coop erage Company. IN SUPERIOR COURT. "uuS'utul 1U1 wicuuoui iu vosc of S. J. Davis and Others Versus T. S. Lutterloh. PLAINTIFF'S COUNSEL APPEAL Non-Suits Entered in a Number of New Hanover Bank Cases X)n the Motion Docket To-day's Calendar. Yesterday in the New Hanover Su perior Court the calendar for the day was completed and a number of mo tion docket cases disposed of. Calen dar cases were as follows : J. Davis, receiver, vs. Butters Lum ber Co. ; continued. S. J. Davis, et al. vs. T. S. Lutterloh, required a jury, and the hearing con sumed the greater portion of the day. After hearing the evidence pro and con, Bis Honor, Judge Adams took the case from the jury, and ruled that in law the case was barred by the statute of presumption. Jno. D. Bellamy, as counsel for plaintiff made a mo tion tor a new trial, but was over ruled. He then gave notice of an ap peal. This was waived and thirty days allowed for filing statements Of case and fifteen days for counter state ment. The defendant was represent ed by Frank McNeill, Esq., of this city, and Judge R. P. Buxton, of Fayette ville. A. decree was issued empowering Col. Taylor, as Clerk of the Superior Court, to pay out of certain moneys in his custody ten dollars per annum to Owen Burney, Owen Nash, Bessie Nash and La Fayette Nash, minors, for whom said fund is held by the Court. Non suits were entered in the follow ing cases : Equitable National Bank, vs. G. W. Williams et al ; W. E. Storm and wife, vs. G. W. Williams et al; Samuel Carmon, vs. G. W. Williams et al ; Mechanics Bank, St. Louis, vs. G. W. Williams et al; Thos. Wilson, vs. G. W. Williams et al. The following cases constitute to- aay s calendar: w. wortn, re ceiver, vs. E. P. Wharton; W. E. Worth, receiver, vs. B. J. Fisher; W. E. Worth, receiver, vs. H. M. Worth, and Jno. S. Watters vs. American Manufacturing and Export Co. AFFAIRS OF THE CITY. Bills Approved by the Board of Audit and Finance, Including Quarantine Ex penses, $405. The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Audit and Finance was held yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Those present were W. H. Chadbourn, chairman, C. W. Yates, H. C. Mc Queen and J. H. Webber. A communication was read from Fred. B. Rice, city clerk and tax: col lector, stating that at a special meeting of the Board of Aldermen, held Mon day night, January 24, five public vac cinators were chosen at salaries not to exceed $25 per week. The communication stated further that Mr. Rice had been informed that the salaries would all be discontinued at the expiration of one week. On motion, $125 was appropriated upon condition that the vaccinators be paid for one week only. Bills were audited and approved for current expenses, $4,602.98; quarantine expenses, $405,48 ;commissions charged by the Atlantic National Bank for pay ing $7,000 worth of July coupons, $17.50. There was no further business and the Board adjourned subject to the call of the chair. THE PUBLIC VACCINATORS. Their Services to be Dispensed With After One Week's Work. As will be seen by reference to the report of the meeting of the Board of Audit and Finance, the people will soon be relieved of the trouble of tell ing the public vaccinator that his ser vices are not required. When each of the vaccinators shall have finished one week's work, his services will be dis pensed with. The vaccinators began work Tuesday, Jan. 25, and leaving out Saturday, on which all or nearly all of them laid off, finished the first week last night, or would have done so if they hadn't lost some time from bad weather and other discourage ments. At any rate, the agony will soon be over, though the Board of Health insists that the people are stand ing in their own light in refusing to allow themselves to be made proof against one of the most horrible dis eases. A Mayor's Court Again. There was a Mayor's court yesterday for the first time in several days, but there was only one case on the docket. That was against Ed Branch, who was charged with drunkenness, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer. Mayor Wright bound him over to court on a $50 justified bond. How ever, Branch has not yet been able to find security and it is probable that he will have to await the session of the criminal court in jail. Veteran Corps Band Concert. The reserved sale of seats for the concert of the Veteran Corps Band at the Opera House to-morrow evening, opened at Gerken's this morning. The price is fifty cents for admission, with no extra charge for reserved seats, and at this figure no doubt a packed ' house will greet this excellent musi cal organization.

Decision of Court of Appeals Not Handed Down Yesterday. The United States Circuit Court of Appeals convened in Richmond yester day, with Judges Goff, Paul, Jackson and Simonton in attendance ; but, con traryto general expectation, the de cision in the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railway case was not handed down. As fully explained in the Star of Sunday, this decision will settle the question as to the mode of selling the road -whether as a whole or by divisions. Repudiation Rumors. There is some talk of a movement here among Republicans looking to a repudiation of the bonds issued by the city to the Cape Fear and Yadkin Val ley Railway. Presumably, the bonds issued to the Wilmington and New bern road are also included, as the bonds for both roads were voted on at the same election. Wonder if this subject was discussed at the little Republican-tea party held at Ocean View last Sunday? "What are the wild waves saying?" Meteorological.
