Let oa Nortk Front Street oa Wklck ike 014 First Natlooal Balk BoUdiai SUids Pvrckasea by tie M Mk Temple Corporation. A Masonio temple where all the lodges of the city can have their meet ing places and which from an archi tectural standpoint will be be a credit to the city and the Masonic order alike, and which shall stand as a last ing monument to the enterprise and loyalty of the Masons of Wilmington, such a building has for a long time been a fondly cherished dream in the minds of several of the representatives of the different associations of Masons in Wilmington. That dream now bids fair to be grandly realized, for the Masons have bought the First Na tional Bank building on Front street with the lot on which it rests, and after having the old building' torn down will nave erected on the lot a Masonic temple which will be nearly. if not quite, the handsomest building in the city of Wilmington. The building was bought of Mr William Carr. of New York, and it previously belonged -to the James Dawson estate. Some rears ago the Odd Fellows were negotiating for the purchase of the property, but the trade was called off because of several thou sand dollars of taxes in arrears. This difficulty, however, has been removed and the Masons have made a trade for this valuable and desirable property that is in every way satisfactory to themselves. The work of tearing down and removing the old building will begin within two or three weeks The lot has a frontage of 78 feet and runs back 147 feet on the north alley and 140 feet on the south alley. The building will be 100 feet deep, leaving a vacant lot 79 lv 4U l eel. it is not definitely decided what will be done with this, but it is probable tnat a warehouse or some other similar build ing will be erected on it. The Maseek Teaple will cost fifty thousand dollars. There will be no such other building in the State. It will be built of brick, four stories high. The first floor will con sist of two storea, which, considering the excellent location, ought to com mand a handsome rent. The second floor will be divided up into con venient offices for lawyers, physicians and dentista On the third floor will be a ball for the use of Concord Chap ter No. 1 and Munson Council No. 1. Two other halls in the third story will be given up to St. John's Lodge No. 1 and Wilmington Lodge No. 319. Then there will be. of course, all the neces sary ante-rooms ana otner accessories. Plantagenet Commandery No 1, Knights Templar, and Orient Lodge No. 335 will hold their sessions in a hall on the fourth floor, and there will be. in addition, on this floor a large banquet hall, where public occasions in wnicn all tne louges arc concernco will be celebrated. Negotiations for the purchase of the lot and the work of planning for the new building have been in the hands of the board of directors of "The Masouic Temple Corporation," which was granted its charter by the Legis lature of 1S95. The members of the board are Mr. M. S. Willard, of Orient Idge No. 395. president; Mr. J. C. Munds, of Concord Chapter No. 1; Mr. T. F. Bagley, of Wilmington Lodge No. 319; Mr. Iredell Meares, of St John's Lodge No. 1, and Mr. H. O. Smallbones, of Plantagenet Com mandery No. 1. DsoLSxea sa Look oat Skoals.

' GRAND JURY REPORT.1 The Condition and Management of Court House and County Jail Condemned. CITY HOSPITAL WELL KEPT. Favorable Report as to County Home, " Court Adjourned for the Term After Disposing of the Few Cases, on the Docket The March term of New Hanover Circuit Criminal Court was formally adjourned yesterday at 1 P. M. after a forenoon session of unusual interest. The cases on the day's docket were not of interest ; but the especial feature of the session was the report of the grand jury, in which complaint was made as the condition and management of several county institutions. The report first set forth the fact that tne jury had found forty-six true bills, six not true bills, and three returned for lack of witnesses. The jury reported the Court House in an unsatisfactory condition as to cleanliness. They recommended that the fences be painted and that a carpet be placed in the sheriff's office ; that the sidewalk along the county's pro perty on Third street to Market be paved. The report stated that the jury in a body had visited the County Jail and found it in a very bad condition. They urged that the interior be white washed. The prisoners were reported in a filthy condition. The food one and a half pounds of bread and three slices of salt meat for each prisoner per day was declared insufficent and poorly prepared. They recom mended that the drain pipe from the interior of the jail be put in better or der, and also that a patrol wagon be purchased jointly by the city and county authorities. With reference to the City Hos pital the grand jury reported that it was well kept &nd recommended that wards B and C be ceiled; that hot water be put in the colored wards; that the dead house and stables be moved further from the main build ing, and that the colored wards be painted and the hospital whitewashed throughout The report closed with a favorable report as to the condition and man agement of the County Home and a recommendation that the full penalty of the law be meted out to persons convicted of carrying concealed weapons. The report was signed by Mr. D. IL Lippitt as foreman and Mr. Geo. P. Cotchett as secretary. When the report had been read Jailor W. W. King addressed the court, saying that he had held the position of deputy sheriff and jailor for seven or eight years and had al ways striven to do all in his power for the comfort of his prisoners. Food was furnished, he said, by the sheriff and prisoners were given all they could eat And that if at any time sufficient food had not been furnished, he would resign his position. He brought up a number of the in mates of the jail and questioned them before the Court as to how they were being fed and all of them said that the fare and treatment was satisfactory. Jailor King has secured a statement signed by C.E. Jevins, in which he says he recently opened a sewer pipe leading from the cells in the jail to the sewer in the jail yard and that he found the pipe filled with bread and meat put in there by the prisoners. This is evi dence, lie thinks, tnat they are well fed. Business disposed of in the Court yesterday was as follows: New trial ordered for Alex. Roan, colored, the jury which heard the case Friday having "agreed to disagree." Roan gave a $50 bond for his appear ance at the next term of Court. New trial was allowed for Ed. Wil son, recently convicted of assault and battery. Mahaney and Minnie Holmes were found not guilty of perjury. As foreshadowed in Thursday's Star, Judge Sutton will spend this week with his family in Fayetteville and Solicitor Richardson will attend Court in Carteret county. At Fort Caswell. The steamer Wilmington got to Sdutbport at 7 o'clock Friday even ing with Battery I, of the Second Regiment U- 8. Artillery. The troops were allowed to knock around town until 11 o'clock, and of course they made things lively for the citi zens. At 11 o'clock they were snugly quartered in the comfortable berths of the Wilmington, Capt Caziarc oc cupying Capt J. W. Harper's cabin. At 8 o'clock next morning the Wil mington steamed over to Caswell and the soldiers were landed at the fort which is to be their home for some months. The tents in which the men are to sleep were put up at once. Two soldiers occupy each tent, each one when in marching order car rying half of a tent On her trip down yesterday after noon the Wilmington had on board fifty wheelbarrows and about as many shovels for the fort, which go to show that the artillerymen will have more to do than parade.

Large Attendance at the Meeting of the Daughters of the Confederacy Pre. parations for Memorial Day. The March meeting of the Cape Fear Chapter of the Daughters of the Con federacy yesterday was very well at tended,' there having been well nigh a half hundred members present. The meeting was held at 4 o'clock in the assembly room of the W. L. I. armory. The record of the February meet ing as submitted by tne secretary, Miss Mary F. Sanders, was approved and ordered filed. The corresponding secretary, Mrs. H. L. Borden, reported that she sent to Miss Mary B. Oliver at Newbern and Mrs. E. S. Tennent at Spartan burg, S. C, letters accepting their resignations as members of this chap ter and expressing regret that they should have found . it necessary to move their memberships. Miss Oliver is now. president of the New bern chapter, and Mrs. E. S. Tennent has joined, the one at Spartanburg, S. C. The report of Miss Mary F. Meares, as treasurer, snowed a balance or $103.47 in the treasury. Mrs. Ths. O. Bunting reported that the books of the treasurer for the past year had been examined and found correct. Mrs. J. J. Hedrick,as chairman of the Memorial Day Committee, reported that she had just received from Capt. O. A. Wiggins, of this city, a letter accepting their invitation to take part in the Memorial Day celebration. As announced by the Star several weeks ago, he will read an interesting his toric paper which gives promise of very much interest for the throngs of people who will doubtless hear it. Miss Mary Sanders, for the History and Relics committee, (the chairman, Miss Hettie James, having arrived too late) gave a verbal report as to the numerous relics received at tne museum, telling in a concise way the stories bearing upon many of them. Later, Miss James, for the same com mittee, submitted a statement as to the money expended by the committee in their work. A letter from Baltimore Chapter Daughters of the Confederacy was read, asking for the loan of relics to be exhibited at the "Confederate Re lief Bazaar" to be held in the Armory of the Fifth Regiment of Maryland during Easter week and part of the week following. Owing to the fact that a number of the most valuable relics the Cape Fear Chapter has are loans, no action could be taken until the owners are communicated with. Two important by-laws were adopt ed. The first fixes a fine of 10 cents for failure to attend a regular meeting unless a good excuse is given, and re- auiring those absent to send a written proxy. ine second provides that at the December meeting each year blank ballots be distributed. On them shall be blanks for president, vice president, recording and corres ponding secretaries and treasurer. These shall be filled out and returned at the January meeting and the three names receiving the highest number of votes for the several offiees shall be in nomination for election to that office for the ensuing year. It has been the practice to elect by acclamation heretofore. There being no further business the meeting adjourned New Shifting Engine. Tho Atlantic Coast Line's new shift ing engine No. 138 attracts the atten tion of all who pass near the railroad tracks. She was brought out for the first time Friday morning by Engineer T. J. Torpy who, with Wm. Farrow, colored, as his fireman, will be on her regularly during the day, while Engi- neer Jesse wooaara wm puii me throttle at night. No. 138 is of the latest improved style and was turned out by the Bald win Locomotive Works, of J?hiladel- phia. She carries an 18 inch cylinder -with 24 inch stroke, and weighs about fifty tons; the tender, when loaded, weighing thirty tons. A Dastardly Thief. Some thief entered the yard at Mrs. Mary F. Sanders' residence on Fifth street last night about 9 o'clock and stole an old hen from a brood of real voung chickens. He took her from a coop right in the glare of the electric light Miss Sanders heard the squall ing of the hen and ran out in time to see the fellow running away with the fowl. She took the nine little orphan chicks into the house, wrapped them snugly in a box and will try to raise them despite the loss of the mother hen. The Tramp Nuisance. As Mrs. Needham Farrow, who lives near the. corner of Eighth and Orange streets, was returning from a neighbor's house through the back- way she ran into a tramp and was terribly jfrightened. Another lady who was accompanying her, was also badly scared. The intruder took to his heels, jumped into an adjoining yard and from that into another until he made his escape. He is prob ably the same one who tried to get in to Mr. J. M. llcGowan's residence Friday night and was frightened off before he effected an entrance. Ladies' Leather Belts. The C. W. t ! Polvogt Co.

Official Summons of the Execu tive Committee for the State Democratic Convention. THE COLOR LINE IS DRAWN. The Gauge of Battle Thrown Dowo to the Money Power and Trusts County Conventions Should Be Held Early to Appoint Delegates. To the Democratic Voters of North Carolina: Pursuant to a resolution of the State Executive Committee adopted at its meeting held February 22nd, I hereby give notice that the Democratic State Convention will be held in the City of Raleigh, at 12 o'clock noon, on Thurs day, May 26th, 1898. The plan of organization, recently re printed, is now in the hands of the Chairmen of the County Executive Committees, showing the regulations governing primaries and County Con ventions. The Convention will consider the nomination of the Judges for the several Districts wherein the terms of the present incumbents expire Jan uary 1st, 1899; will announce the principles and policy of the party, and take such action as it mav see nroner. Judicial Conventions should be held prior to the date fixed for the State Convention in the following Dis tricts : First, Second, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and lueventh. The following resolution amending the plan of organization was adopted at the meeting of the Committee held in December 1897: Resolved, That all white electors who intend to vote with us in the next election, and who desire the re-estab- lishment of Anglo Saxon Supremacy and honest government in North Caro lina, are cordially invited to partici pate in all our primaries and con ventions. In the adoption of such a resolution the Democratic party expresses no un kind feeling for the colored people of North Carolina. The record of charity and kindnesses, public and private. of the white people of this State to the Colored race while the Democratic party was in full power, refutes such a suggestion. But the negro voter, with rare exceptions, cannot be considered one whom the great principles of government, the wisdom of economic policy, or the qualifica tions of public servants in their responsible offices, guides or controls in nis choice of a ballot His alle giance to the Republican party or its allies cannot be disturbed by the cor rupt and disgraceful conduct of those for whom he votes. Thus, in this day, when the State is fast sinking into dis honor and shame under the hands of a fusion administration, which regards neither the rights of person or pro perty, nor the good name and honor of the State, the call to duty is ad dressed to the white men of Worth Carolina.
