Other truckers -in the city - yesterday ex pressed themselves as "very blue' over their strawberry crop this sea son. s , - Star CORNER-STONE LAYING CEREMONIES TO-DAY. Grand Lodge.

Their term of office begins at the -next general annual meeting of stockholders (September 28). ! The session was merely for the pur pose of doing over again what has al ready been done, but is rendered nec essary by the recent decision of the Supreme Court in the Atlantic and North Carolina 'railroad suit. This decision held that if the board had met After March 10th . their ; action would have held good in electing the directors of this road. However, the Legislature in the act expressly pro vided that they meet February 24th, and this caused the board' to elect the new directors before the term of the old directors expired. No attempt will be made to remove President Patrick until his time is out in September. State Land Surveyor Ramsey was, however, "removed, and Gen! W. G. Lewis, of Goldsboro, elected : in his place. v . .1 BY RIVER AND RAIL. Receipts of Naval Stores and Cotton Yesterday, v W. & W. Railroad 6 casks spirits turpentine, 3 barrels crude turpentine.

I Mayor's Court. - The only case .before the police court yesterday morning was that of John Hooper, a colored employe of the Palace Bakery, whose fondness for pie exceeded his boasted honesty. He was caught in the act of stealing some eight or ten of these objects of his weakness, and Policeman B. R. King was called in to take him to the guard house. The case was transferred to Justice McGowan's court, and the negro was sent to jail to await a pre liminary hearing this morning.
