ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING HELD At 4he Court House Last Night Resola tions xpressiag Their Sentiments ' Will Be Sent to New Hanover's Legislators. Pursuant to the call issued in the morning papers day before : yesterday by Mr. James W. Monroe, president Wilmington Steam Fire Engine Co., Mr. M. Kathjen, president of Howard Relief Fire Engine Co., Mr. H. J. Gerken, president of Wilmington Hook and Ladder Co., and Mr. T. J. Gore, foreman of Fifth JWard Hook and Ladder Co., a large number of members of the old volunteer fire companies, who by reason of five years' service in the : fire department ,are exempt from jury and mintia duty, met in the Court House last night to protest against the enactment of a bill recently introduced in the Legislature by Representative Roun tree, abolishing these exemptions. Mr. James W. Monroe called the meeting to order and Mr. Wm. Calder was made chairman. Messrs. Jno. , Haar, H. J. Gerken, J. O. Brown and representatives - of the press were elected secretaries. . The chairman read the call, as origi nally issued, and spoke at some length in opposition to the bill in question; Among other thingshlPsaTd that the firemen were asked to surrender this privilege for patriotic reasons, but that they had already shown their patriot ism by serving the public gratuitously for five years and some a great many years longer. They had rendered value received for the privilege granted, many having suffered seri ous injuries and some having even lost their lives in the service. He admitted the necessity of having competent jurors, but there was abundant ma terial besides those that, were ex empted. ; ' '. - ; Mr. N. B. Rankin read a letter from Representative Rountree, stating that the bill was designed not only to abolish the exemptions of the Wil mington companies, but .would apply equally to all other fire companies in the State, certain railroad employes, factory superintendents, etc.; who were at present exempt by reason of the na ture of their employment. . Mr. Roun tree further stated in the letter that the bill was introduced at the. request of a number of citizens of Wilmington, j Capt. Louis Belden though t the bill as introduced would be unconstitutional in that it would be a breach of con tract pn the part of the State. " ) Mr. Timothy Donlan said that while he favored competent jurors, it was not absolutely necessary for the volun teer firemen to i surrender their cer tificates of exemption to accomplish this result.- He also said that in many instances the incompetent juries were selected purposely by lawyers.' Mr.'H. J. Gerken stated that in case the bill should become a law and a fireman should be summoned on the jury or for military duty, that ihe companies should come to his rescue and make a test case before the Su preme Court. . : ':, '' Capt. J. L. Boat wright stated that he had read the United States Consti tution touching this matter and that in his opinion the law would be un constitutional. . Col. Roger Moore expressed the same opinion as to the constitutionali ty of such a law, but thought as a mat ter of patriotism the firemen might temporarily surrender their certificates for two years or more until the jury box could be purged. ! I Mr. R. B. Clowe answered CoL Moore's argument by saying that if the privilege was temporarily surren dered' the State would then have the right to annul the contract perma nently." - f 7 ; -. . Mr. J. D. Smith and others stated, that the argument offered in behalf of the purging of the jury box was not sound, as that could not effectually be done until June, when the complete jury list would be revised. ; The matter was further discussed by Messrs. R. H. Pickett, W. P. Oldham, W. H. Northrop, ! E.! j G. Parmele, James W. Monroe: W; C. Von Glahn, J. W. Plummer, Jno. Haar, J. G. L. Gieschen and others, all of whom were opposed to a surrender of the privi lege. ;' ! ! ' Capt. Louis Belden, then made a motion, which was unanimously car ried, that a committee comoosed of one member from each of the white . volunteer companies be appointed to frame suitable resolutions for presenta tion to New Hanover's representatives in the General Assembly expressing disapproval of the bill now pending, with reference tothe exemptions in question. f The motion was amended at the suggestion of Mr. W. H. Northrop, making the chairman: of the meeting chairman ex officio of the committee. It was also amended" at the suggestion of Mr. J. D. Smith giving the commit tee plenary powers in the matter. Ihe cnairman announced the fol lowing appointments, on the commit tee: Messrs. N. B. Rankin, J. H. Walters, J. G. L. Gieschen and T. J. - Gore. ' '. j :i' A motion also prevailed that every member of the volunteer department holding a certificate of exemption and opposing the bill in question, is re quested to sign the resolutions before they are presented. All those present last night, of whicn mere were more than a hundred, expressed their will ingness' Jo sign such a resolution and for the convenience of those who may wish to sign them and who were not present last night, a copy will be left at each of the following places during to-day, where they may be seen and signed: H. J. Gerken's, J.- G. L. Gieschen's, W. C. YanGlahn's and T. J. Gore's. '.- 1 ' ' The committee will meet early this morning, frame the resolutions and leave them at the above named places. The meeting last night was a most enthusiastic one and those present were unanimous in their opposition to the bill abolishing the exemption. AN ELABORATE ! MASONIC BAZAAR.

The Session of the First Presbyterian Church of Wilmington, N. 0., has learned with pro found sorrow of the death of our former pastor, the Bev. Matthew B. Grler. D. D., who entered Into his rest on Monday, January 23rd, 1899, at i his home In Philadelphia. r Dr. Grier's pastorate began July 18th, 1852, and continued for nearly nine years. In this time Dr Grler left upon the Church a lasting Impress, and the fr alts of his ministry abonnd unto this day. His dignified and commanding presence, his srenial and courtly manners, his accurate scholarship and broad culture, his high standard of duty, his devoted love to God and man, his humble trust In Jesus Christ and dependence upon Him to make his ministry effective; are recalled with grateful affection by our older members who were privileged to enjoy his ministry, and his visit to us la 1898, wh le refreshing their hearts, awakened In their children the same affection. . . Dr. Grler's ministry marks an epoch In the history of our Church. When he came to us mere were dot ta memoers, eoiof whom were white and 24 colored. There were but two resi dent mmbers of the Sess'on. There were no deacons. The male members were few. and active workers fewer still. ThA TnistAAH mm big a-toned honorable men. but for the most Dart not communicants. By a steady growth from, year toyear. and especially by the memorable revival of 1858, the Church went forward, untu its membership was more than doubled, its Session enlarged a Board of Deacons organ ized, a mb-slon chapel built, a colony sent forth. uuu mo liuurcn irauBiormea into a worm tig organization that from that time' to the present ujr linn ueea a great ana growing power ror good in the community and throughout the Synod. During his ministry, on the burning of the old Church on Front street the present beautiful lot was purchased and the elegant Church In which we now worship was erected. When the cloud of war burst over th- land. pastor and people sorrowfully agreed to spa rte. But the strife that divided tha sections 'made no brea h In the mutual affections which has continued unto this da v. Nor does death divide us. In the Church Triumphant to which he has gone he has found far more of those to whom he ministered than remain here. And those who "a little longer wait" and an earnest oi weir innentanc m tne love tnat still unites them to t he sainted dead. In commemoratloa of Dr. Grler's ministry in this Church, and in testimony of our grateful love. , ... - . Resolved 1, That a Memorial Tablet to Dr. Grler be Disced In the main andltorlnm of the Church. . t . Resolved 2; That a copy of this Memorial toe sent to Mrs. Grler, with the assurance of our cordial affection and hea tfelt sympathy. Resolved S, That copies of the same be sent to the Presbyterian of Philadelphia, to the i Presby- lenan cianaara ana to tne city papers. PEYTON H. HOGS, Moderator. B F. HAXL, Clerk.
