Members Preparing Themselves for Sam mer Enfsgements A Serenade. The Stab office last night enjoyed a serenade from the Fifth Ward Band, formerly the Wilmington Brass Band, an aggregation. of Wilmington mu sical talent that is rapidly forging to the front. The band has been in ex istence for si number of years, but just previous to, the last campaign are organization was effected, and in the struggle for Anglo-Saxon domination the enlivening strains of this band were heard upon more than one occasion. The band is now open for Summer engagements and to prepare them selves more thoroughly for the accep tance of such nightly rehearsals Sun der the direction of a competent in structor, are being Held by the members. Ten pieces compose the band as fol lows: R. B. Burriss, leader; R. L. San- ford, solo cornet; Francis Fales first cornet; A. Gk Redd, baritone; C. C. Redd, solo alto; I. N. Burriss, first alto; Q. W. Cameron, tenor;, R. A. Burnett, tuba: Ed McGowan, bass dram; Fred B, Herring, snare drum. Franco demands of China 1,200, Q00 taela indemnity, not for a priest's Head, but for simply imprisoning him. France proposes to take the taela and let the priest have the satisfaction. At the recent meeting of the In ternational Statistical' Association, at Berne, Switzerland, a plan was discussed for taking a census of the entire world, which has never been done before. Some of the professors estimate the present population at 1,700,000,000. Gen. Lacret, of Cuba, says most of the $3,000,000 to be distributed among the Cuban soldiers will be spent in the saloons. This will be rough on those fellows who put in fig stocks of fancy saddles, gilded which they thought the soldiers were hankering, and would make a rush as soon as they got their money. i Mrs. Greenfield, of Colorado, has been hired to drive a stage coach at the Paris Exposition, and will hold the lines over six spirited white steeds. She's a cracker with' the whip, and will get $5,000 for six months driving. She began some years ago to drive a stage for visi tors to attractive resorts in Colorado, to support an invalid hnsband and a family, made money, and is now well-to-do. She held her lines right. Por Stealing a Hog. Geo. Roderick, a young white man living on Wooster street, beyond Castle, was arraigned in Justice Fow ler's court yesterday, charged with the larceny of a hog from "Parson" Robinson, a well known colored ce lebrity of that section of the city. Rod erick, it appeared from the evidence, found the hog running at large and despite the fact that he was warned not to shut up the hog, he aid so and ap plied his mark to the same. Later, when Roderick found that his alleged theft had been discovered and that the "parson" was on trail of his missing property, Roderick allowed the porker to eseape and himself took to the woods. Justice Bornemann issued a warrant for Roderick and after ex hausting all possible means for his capture. Deputies Flynri and Terry came upon him yesterday and brought him into court. Justice Fowler de cided there was probable cause and the defendant was committed in default of $100 justified bond for his appearance at the June term of Criminal Uourt. A special meeting of the Chamber of Commerco .was held yesterday to arrange special entertainment for the members of the association of Rail way Telegraph Superintendents, who will assemble in this city in annual convention on the 15th inst.

M. next Wednesday, the drive to be tend ered by the Chamber of Commerce complimentary to the ladies of the association. There Vill also be com plimentary trips on board the Wil mington to Carolina Beach, and via the Seacoast road to Wrightsville Beach.:' . k I "'!!! Prior to the appointment of this committee, Mr. Geo. R. French, as chairman of the special committee on recommending features of entertain ment, made a report in which he i re viewed the itinerary of the conven tion. . I ; The delegates will arrive here at 8 P. M. Tuesday and make The Orton their headquarters. On Wednesday morn ing at 9 :30 o'clock the first business session' will be held when Mayor A. M. Waddell will deliver an address of welcome. The drive oyer the city, arrangements for which are to be made by the Chamber of Commerce J will be at 10:30 o'clock on Wednes day morning.

There will be a trip to Wrightsville Beach at 2:15 o'clock, the train returning to Wilmington in time for the delegates to leave on a special train at 7:30 o'clock f or Portsmouth. j It is expected that this convention will bring about 125 visitors to the city. They come from almost every State in the Union. j Letters of Thanks. j After the matter of the entertainment of the 'superintendent of telegraph had been disposed of Mr. James H. Chad- bourn; Jr., made a motion that Presi dent W. E. Worth, of the chamber; address to Mrs. James Spruntas chair man of the Ladies' Cammittee on en tertainment for the officers of the cruiser Raleigh, a letter of thanks for jthe very admirable way in which they did their part in making the ceremonies the great success which they are conced ed to have been. In introducing this motion Mr. Chadbourn said that but for the part so nobly performed by the ladies' committee, under the lead ership of Mrs. Sprunt, the ceremonies would have been almost a dismal fail ure. jThework was actuated, too,; he said, by purely patriotic motives,; to give the officers the most favorable impression possible of the city and her hospitality. Chadburn's motion was unam y adopted. j motion of Capt T. D. Meares, President Worth was also requested to address to Col. Jas. E. Boyd. Assistant Attorney General, a letter of thanks for the important part that he took in bringing to bear influences upon the authorities at Washington which assured the visit of the Raleigh to this port and also for the part he took in making the entertainment ceremonies a success. . The movement looking to the pur chase of the1 Brunswick ferry, oper ated by- the Brunswick Bridge and Ferry Compiny, by the city of Wil mington is assuming definite shape. The committee' appointed some time ago by the Chamber of Commerco has prepared a report, which will be sub mitted to the Chamber at their next meeting. It recommends that the Board of Aldermen" be asked to issue bonds not to exceed $12,500 for the GRAND COUNCIL OF RED MEN. Wilmington Selected As the Next Place of Meeting; Corporation Commission. JiinCrow Cars Ruling As to Telephones and Telegraph. ' purpose of purchasing ment of the ferry, It will be remembered and improve- that the last Legislature passed a bill empowering the Board of Aldermen to issue bonds to that amount for the purchase and improvement of the ferry. Members of the committee are Mr. M. W. Jacobi, Mr. J. B. Mercer and Mr. B. F.' Keith. , The! committee expresses the belief that the ferry can be purchased for a sum much less than the maxi mum bond issue limit. They also suggest that after the purchase Bruns wick county will willingly assume the expense of maintaining the cause way and bridge beyond the New Han over county line. : ".') i:H . . 1 It is the purpose of the advocates of the scheme to purchase the ferry to get the matter before the Board of Aldermen just as soon as possible and they confidently expect favorable ac tion on the part of that body. - THE TRUCK MOVEMENT. Strawberry Growers Complain of Exces sive Rains and Say the Crop is Un profitable This Year. ' Parties who were here yesterday from up the W- and W. road report much damage to the strawberry crop by excessive rains in the trucking sec tion along the road, j " Mr. J. H. Westbrook, one of the principal shippers from Rocky Point, says that excessive raius and gener ally unfavorable weather, combined with other causes of more or less mo ment, have made the present crop in his section much less remunerative to truckers than in former years. With the exception! of yesterday the ship ments of the past few days so far as quantity " is. concerned are without a parallel in the history of the .trucking industry in Eastern North Carolina. The falling off in shipments yester day was largely due to the heavy rains in the morning, which retarded gath ering in time for the trains of the re frigerator service, j Good shipments of garden peas are now being made from Wilmington and sections in the trucking belt, and as will be seen from quotations pub lished in this morning's Stab peas .are bringing from $1.25 to $1.50 per basket.

The programme was divided into three acts and between each of the three was a well rendered musical selection under the direction of Mr. Edward H. Munson accompanist. The vocalists were MrL A. S. Holden, Mr. R.' C. Banks and Mr. H. C. Cooper. Mr.- Jordan has been in the city for some time, the guest of the-Knights of Pythias lodges, giving special instruc tions in jteam work and other cere monies peculiar to knighthood.

Dear Sir We notice in to-day's Stab under head of "Complaint from Berry Shippers," an article which does the Express Company an injustice. We were the Only shippers of berries who had any billed to go by Express. When the Express arrived at Garland, Mr. J. J. Crosswell, the clever route agent, jumped off and came to us and advised us to ship our berries by re- frigerator, stating that he had no through Express for the day and if he received them they would necessarily have to transfer in Fayetteville : that he passed the refrigerator at Kerr's and told the agent here that he had plenty of time to re-bill them. We also wish to state in this connection, herewith, that the Express Company, through their route agent, Mr. J. J. Crosswell, has given the shippers generally per fect satisfaction. .
