Members of the Reserve Corps Ready to Respond to a Call for Active Service. AN ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING. Tbe Ciptain of the Company Requested lo Make Reqaisitioa tar Uniform to Equip the Fifty Members of the Corns. There was 1111 eiithu.sia.stic meeting of the Itserve Corps of the Wilming ton Light Infantry last niht in the as sembly hall of the W. L. I. Armory. Capt. T C. James, president of the Reserve corps, presided and Mr A. V. Adrian served a. siscretary. Ouito a large per cent, of the fifty member of the corps were in atten dance. The meeting was called lo or der by C-npl IV MacRa, who briefly stMte I th object of the call. said that so fur us h could le.trn a-- had authority if necessary, to cal! them int. s-rv.cc However, he wouM not he thought, do thai . but desired, in Stld to give liiein an opporluustv to r enlist He fe:ir'd that otherwiv there 'night lw ime trouble al),it hit authority as captain in command ing enlisted and reserve forces. After .some discussion, a motion was made and adopted that the corp-i be subject to the orders of Capt. Mac Rap. to lo called out whenever he should need them. Tho i matter of forming out of the Reserve corps a home guard to take the place of the regular enlisted member ship in case they are called into active service was also discussed, and. while no action was taken, it seemed the sense of those present, that the guard would be organized if needed. Of course the first draft made upon the Reserves will be for volun teers to swell "the company's rank, to one hundred men The members sig nified their willingness to r? enlist for service or serve .is home guards A motion was made and adopted requesting Capt MacRae to make requisition upon the government for uniforms, guns, etc . for tho Reserve corps It was about '.).45 o'clock when the meeting adjourned It can well be inferred from the spirit manifested last night that every man of the IJserve corps stands ready to respond heartily to any call that may bo made upon them.

A Matron Elected at tbe Meeting of the Mlnlsterint Circle of the King's Daughters. Miss Maggie Hall has been elected matron of the Shelter of the Silver Cross, on Ocean View Beach, owned by the Ministering Circle of the King's Daugiit"!-. Tiie el.M'tioii was held yesterday afternoon at lie- residence of the presi dent of the Circle, Mrs. 0. H. King, where there was held a largely at tended business meeting of the Circle. There were twenty-eight of the thirty five member present. There were five applications for the position of matron, and it required five ballots to get the required two-thirds vote re quired for election. In the meeting matters pertaining to tho opening of the Shelter for the coining summer were freely discussed. It was decided to have tho building painted and make various other im provements. A committee was ap pointed to go down to the Shelter and examine as to what repairs are needed. Mesdames C. II. King. C. H. Robin son and C Oscar Ilyerly constitute the einimitteo. The committee will go down to the Beach next Monday or Tuesday and their report will be made to a special meeting of the Circle 011 Wednesday afternoon. The Circle is very anxious that some benevolently inclined per sons, paint dealers or others, will do nate paints for the re painting of the Shelter. There was a report yesterday after noon from the committee making a canvass for the sale of annual mem berships to the Wilmington Library Association. It seems that they are not meeting with very good success. In fact as yet not a single membership has been sold. However, they pro pose to renew their efforts and still hope to accomplish something in this direction. As has been heretofore announced in the Star, the Shelter of the'Silver Cross will be opened as a retreat for poor children on July 1st. WILMINGTON PRESBYTERY.

Ashe, who was returning from Durham on the freight train, suffered an accident that came near resulting seriously. He was sitting in the upper part of the caboose. When the train reached Morrisville he was thrown forward on his seat by a sudden jerk, and his head , thrust through the glass window. An artery was cut and tne wound bled pro fusely. Dr. A. T. Cotton was called in and accompanied Capt. Ashe to Raleigh. He was quite weak from the loss of blood, but the injuries, though painful, are not serious. He had a narrow escape. Third N. C. Infantry.

WOULD NOT ENDORSE BUTLER The Convention, It Is Said, Will Submit a Proposition to the Democratic Con vention For Co-operation. Other Raleigh News. Special Star Correspondence. I Raleigh, N. C, April 6. Butler was downed before his own committee at the meeting laM even ing. Butler made the committee. He put every member on it, but it is now beyond his control. It was the Senator's earnest wish that the Populist : State convention be called to meet here May 25th, the day before the assembling of the Demo cratic State convention. Butler was frank and open with his committee. He told them that he wanted to sub mit proMisilions to the Democrats looking toward fusion. But the coui mitee would not liste n to its erstwhile leader and champion. ( tho Wilson's motion to have the convention meet here Mav 1 7th was adopted bv a vote of U to 4. Hal. Aver went acainst Butler. Otho Wilson is jubilant to-dav. He says Butler has been routed and that he may now be properly called a "has been." Butler's friends sav otherwise. They say he was fully aware that the committee was hostile to him and even expected worse treatment than he has received. He says Butler will knock these fellows off their feet in the State convention. Another significant fact was the fail ure of the committee to endorse But ler's triple alliance fusion plan of all the silver forces. Lloyd made a mo tion to endorse Butler's address, but it even failed of a second. Gov. Russell sent for the committee and explained his position as to the railroads. He failed to" get an endorse ment. Judge Purnell is holding court in Greensboro. In his charge to the grand jury he called attention to the lewspaper charges that certain govern ment officials had recently violated the franking law. Special Star Telegram. Auditor Ayer says: it was sug gested at the Populist committee meet ing that in view of the similarity of the Democratic and Populist platforms, that some effort be made to unite the forces of the two parties and the sug gestion was further made that the only way to properly consummate the union of forces would be for tiie Popu lists to make a fair and honorable proposition to the Democrats. Not the slightest opposition or shadow of ob jection to that suggestion, if there was opposition to it, was shown. "When the committee adjourned it was the belief and conviction that the convention when it met would formu- ate an offer to the Democratic con vention of a co-operative proposition which could be accepted without any compromise of dignity on the part of the Democrats, and which if not ac cepted would put Democrats in the at titude of professionally being what they have heretofore called pie-seekers and pic-eaters. Not 011I3- the commit tee, but thirty-five other representa tive Populists present, went home with the same impression. My belief is that such a proposition as is above referred to, will be made in good faith, and our Democratic friends may expect to meet it." TO PROTECT BEAUFORT, N. C. U. S.' Engineers Formulating Plans Gar rison for Fort Macon. Special Star Telegram. Beaufort, N. C, April 6. Capt. Craighill, U. S. Engineer, Wilming ton district, and his assistant. F. D. Perry, arrived to-night for the purpose of formulating plans for protecting Beaufort, N. C, harbor and garrison ing Fort Macon.
