During the forenoon quite a number of telegrams were sent from Wilming ton, not only to Dr. Hoge but to Dr. E A.

Goods to the Value of a Hundred Dollars or More Stolen. When Heikel Gideon (a Syrian), notions and dry goods dealer, went to open his store on South Front street, between Dock and Orange, yes terday morning, he found that the store had been entered and that goods amounting in value to $100' or per haps more had been removed. The door had been forced open by the use of an axe and an iron rod, both of which were lying near by. In the soft dirt by the high plank wall which surrounds the little enclosure at the rear of the store was the track of a shoe, of size 8 or 9. The burglar or burglars took off a liberal supply of shoes, overcoats, coats, pants, socks, underwear, jew; elry. towels, razors, handkerchiefs, etc. such an assortment, in fact, that the proprietor was inclined to believe that a dealer did the work. The bur glary was committed between 9 o'clock Friday night and 7 o'clock yesterday morning. Several shelves which were left piled up with goods were found entirely bare. Receives Diploma from State Fair. Mr. H. Kuhl has received and placed in a handsome frame the diploma award ed by the North Carolina Agricultural Society to his son, Mr. F. W.

Masons, by request, present a prepared sketch of the old building on Orange street, between Front and Second, known in times a gone as "Free Masons' Hall," which will be highly interesting to every Mason of the city and every one is in vited to be present THE POSTOFFICE. Formal Transfer to the New Postmaster Will Be Made This Afternoon. CHADBOURN TAKES CHARGE. Ex-Postmaster Morton Retires With the Respect and Confidence of the Peo ple His Management Has the Endorsement of the De partment The transfer of a postofnee where a large amount of business is transacted is something of an undertaking and is most frequently done on Sunday when there is least business transacted. So this afternoon has been selected as af fording a good opportunity' for the re tiring postmaster to transfer to his suc cessor the control of the Wilmington postoffice. This means that all the stamps will be counted out and the books, keys and everything else that pertains to the active duties of post master will pass from Mr. Morton's hands to Mr. Chad bourn's this after noon. Mr. Chadbourn has notiade public his decision, if he has made one, as to who will be his assistant. The present assistant postmaster, Mr. W. C. Craft, will most probably remain in the office for two or three weeks. The rest of the force are nearly all under civil service, and will not be removed without cause. air. Morton will be occupied for a week or ten days making out reports and finally arranging the business of the postoffice so far as it concernsjhim. He will have a desk in the office of the assistant postmaster and will be ready to fnrnish to the new incumbent such information about the control of the office as he may desire. Mr. Mor ton's term began January 15, 1894. The Retiring Postmaster. In surrendering the trust confided to him for so long a period Mr. Morton may rest assured that he carries with him the high appreciation of the peo ple he has served so faithfully and so well. Painstaking, accommodating, resourceful and vigilant, he has won the respect and confidence of the bus iness men of Wilmington ; and it may be conscientiously said that no pre vious management of this office has ever given more general satisfaction Mr. Morton has during his term in augurated many reforms in the mail service. Among them may be named the increase of service between Wil- mi ngon and Shallotte from semi-weekly to tri-weekly ; free delivery at Wrights- ville Beach, and the system of ex changing pouches of registered letters between Wilmington, Richmond, Bal timore, Washington and New York, which has proved a great convenience to bankers and business men generally. He has made many other improve ments in the service, most of which have been heretofore mentioned in the Star. One of the best evidences of Mr. Morton's thorough efficiency is his high standing with the post-office oflfi cials at Washington. He has been complimented on his good work by the First Assistant Postmaster General and the heads of other bureaux, and during the second year of his term he received the following letter from one of the most capable officers in the ser vice, who came to Wilmington and made a thorough inspection of the office : Post-Office Department, Office of Post-Office Inspectors, GOLDSBORO, N. C, Dec. 2, 1896. Mr. Geo. L. Morton, Postmaster, Wil mington, N. C. Dkar Sir Allow me to coneratu- late you on having such a well con ducted omce and emcient iorce, ana udoii rendering such a very satisfac tory service to the public, as well as to the department. Mr Craft, Miss Uarby, Miss J3eii ana the other members of your force are so efficient in their respective duties, to say nothing of the postmaster, that l would scarcely know where to begin in paying compliments. Your office is certainly second to none that I have ever visited, and if I find one that is more satisfactorily conducted than yours I will be sure to notify you. very respecuuuy, H. T. Gregory, Post-Office Inspector. The New Postmaster. Postmaster Chadbourn, though yet untried, has the elements necessary to success in his new calling. He is a man of education and intelligence, with excellent judgment, and an am ple fund of good common sense. His business experience, too, extends through a period of many years, and the Star will be disappointed, if he does not make an excellent post master. Discharged from the Pest House. James Hodge, the colored man who has been confined at the smallpox pest house, was discharged yesterday after noon. He was relieved of his cloth- ing, whicn was ournea, ana at ixie ... 1 J J X xl city's expense was furnished with a new suit of clothing from shoes to hat. Lum Cotten,the colored nurse, received the same treatment only along with his clothing was burned by Dr. Mc Millan's orders some Confederate bills, as it was not thought perfectly safe to let him keep them. Hodge was driven in a surrey from the hospital to the alley where he lives. Fruit and Track Growers.

Yesterday afternoon about four o'clock Bristow Hurst, a colored steve dore aged 35 years and an employe in the Champion Compress, was stabbed by another colored man on Water streetbetween Dock and Orange .Hurst says he does not know who the man wasthat stabbed him, but others said that itwas a young colored man named Floyd Cole. After being stabbed Hurst ran to Front street and up Front to Mr. R. T" T 11 s -l i -W-S- a. joeuamy s drug store. ie was bleeding freely and his clothes were saturated with blood. Dr. J. C. Shep- ard and a colored physician, Dr. T. R. Mask, were called in to dress the man's wound. They found a stab two or three inches deep in the left shoulder four inches above the heart. After the physi cians had rendered the necessary ser vices, Hurst was placed in a carriage and driven to his home on Fourth street, between Church and Castle. He says the man who stabbed him had changed some money for him and claimed that he had given him too much. Hurst denied this, and when he did, Cole, if this was the man, whipped out a pocket-knife and drove it to the handle in Hurst's body. Officers are in pursuit of Cole. THE WILMINGTON HIGH SCHOOL. Miss Rose, One of the Teachers, Resigns on Account of III Health. The resignation of Miss Annie Lee Rose as teacher in the Wilmington High School has been accepted and Miss Rose left yesterday morning for a protractad visit to relations in Gra ham county. Miss Rose's resignation is occasioned by ill health. The School Board has elected a suc cessor to Miss Rose, but owing to the fact that the party has not yet accepted, the name is withheld from the public. Miss Rose has been a teacher in the High School here for the past four years and the School Board, her asso ciate teachers and the children who have been underher tutelage, all speak of her in the very highest terms, not only as a highly successful teacher, but also as a lady of rare culture and admirable disposition. She came to Wilmington in 1894 as one of the first teachers in the High School, having just completed her course in the Greensboro Normal and Industrial College, and during her stay here has won many admiring friends who regret exceedingly that she has been forced to give up her position and leave the city. It is hoped that her health may very soon materially improve and that she will again assume the duties of the position from which she now retires. Will Be Tried Again. Last Friday a difficulty occurred on and near the Government wharf be tween Capt. Smith of the cutter Morrill, and Joshua Green, a colored citizen of Wilmington, during which Capt. Smith called two officers of the cutter to his assistance. Soon after wards the Captain and these officers went before a magistrate and plead guilty to a charge of assault and also to a charge of assault and battery, and paid the penalty imposed. Notwith standing this disposition of the case, warrants were sworn out by Green before Justice Bunting yesterday, and the same parties were arrested and re quired to give bond in the sum of $300 each for their appearance before him next Tuesday at 10.30 o'clock A. M. Green claims that the assault was entirely unprovoked -n but Capt. Smith tells a very different story. As the matter will be investigated Tuesday, the Star will not go into details now. Returned From Chapel Hilk Rev. Dr. Robert Strange returned from Chapel Hill last evening. He has rbeen spending a week there con ducting the morning devotional exer cises and taking part in the Y. M. C. A. services at night. It is the plan to have a prominent minister from one of the different denominations to remain at the University for one week at the last of each month, and Dr. Strange was the first to be chosen. It was a very great pleasure for him to spend a while amid the scenes of his college days. The University he finds to have grown and developed wonderfully since he was there, and he expresses himself as being impressed with the gentlemanly deportment of the stu dents. A Book on Wrestling. The Star's "sporting editor" ac knowledges the receipt of the pros pectus and specimen pages of Hugh H. Leonard's "Hand-book of Wres tling" soon to be issued from the presses of E. R. Pelton, Publisher, of New York. The object of the work it seems will be to present a historical review and the fundamental prin ciples of wrestling, together with various styles of the sport. The au thor is instructor in wrestling at the New York Athletic Club. Indications are that the work will be quite inter esting and instructive to wrestling enthusiasts. Freedman's Bank Depositors.

SOUVENIRS PRESENTED. Charming Entertainment Gtven to One of the Most Elite Whist Clubs of the City. The members of one of Wilming ton's most elite whist clubs were charmingly entertained yesterday afternoon by their fellow clubwoman, Miss Mary Meares, at her home on Market street. There were fourteen guests in at tendance, and abundant preparation had been made for their entertain ment. The ladies played many inter esting and sharply contested 'games of whist, and the charming hostess treated her guests to delicious refresh ments. A feature of the event, one, too, which will blend with environment and entertainment in commemorating the club meet, was the presentation of lovely souvenirs to each guest. They were exquisitely designed sachet bags giving out a perfume of especial fragrance. They were hand-painted, the work having been done by Miss Meares herself , who is, by the way, one of Wilmington's most talented and skilled artists.
