Bellicose Excursionists.
The down town magistrates yesterday
were busy in disposing of quite a large
number of cases of disorderly conduct
and assault and battery alleged to
have been committed on the occasion
of the Fifth Ward Band excursion to
Carolina Beach . Thursday night It
is said that a number of the excur
sionists were very "tipsy" and many
of them "were out for gore," and that
the last named class was eminently
successful in their undertakings was
evidenced by the number of the ex
cursionists "wearing black eyes" yes
terday. Justice McGowan tred four
cases in the morning, judgment being
suspended on payment of costs in a
majority of them. In the afternoon
Justice Fowler investigated the cases
of five of the participants in the melee,
binding three of the number over to
the Criminal Court, suspending judg
ment in the fourth case and fining the
defendant in the fifth case $5.
In behalf of the members of the band
it should be stated that they used all
possible means to prevent a disturb
ance, and they greatly regret that the
pleasure of their excursion was marred
by rowdyism,

TflE SACRED CONCERT
"A Brilliant Success" iho Vr.
w www UW . V ,
diet of the Large Audience
1 Last Night.
AT FIFTH STREET CHURCH.
he Programme Comprised Many Standard
Works of Famous Composers Was
" Ably Rendered Wilmington's
Best Talent participated. v
" A brilliant success was scored last
night in the presentation of the sacred
concert at the Fifth Street M t?
Church. It wasthe first concert pro
gramme devoted exclusively to sacred
music which has been given in Wil
mington ! m quite a while, and the
novelty pf the occasion, combined
with the popularity ' and conceded
ability of the participants in attract
ing a very large audience. In fact the
seating capacity of the church was
taxed almost to its utmost
The people assembled with confi
dent anticipation of a rare musical
treat and it is safe to say that the ex
pectations of the' most sanguine were
amply realized.
The initial number of the programme
was ".Praise Ye," from Attila, ad
mirably rendered by Miss Carrie
White, Mr. C. EL Cooper and Mr. A.
S. Holden, Miss ' Elizabeth' D. Burtt
playing the accompaniment on the
pipe organ.
Mr. H. K. Holden sang, as a bass
solo, with excellent effect Sckenecker's
masterly composition, "O For a
Closer Walk With God," Prof. Jno.
G. Russell rendering the accompani
ment
Lift up your- Heads," rendered as
an anthem, was accorded deservedly
high compliments. Mrs. R. H. Chas
ten was accompanist for the following
singers: Mrs. John Frank, Miss Lillie
culbreth, Miss Nora Scott, sopranos;
Mrs. Wi W. Hodges and Miss Mamie
PerdewtaTtos; Mr. W. W. Hodges,
tenor, and Mr. J. H. Davis, bass.
The everjpopular male quartette,
composed . of Messrs. C. H. Coop
er, R. if. Fowler, C. H. Rob:
inson, Jr., and H. K. Holden
pleased the audience with their rend
ering of "Lead Kindly Light" by
Buck. -
Mrs. Latta was, as usual, a favorite
vocalist, abundantly sustaining her
enviable reputation in singing "Eye
Hath Not Seen," from GauCa '"Holy
City." Prof. John G. Russell was
her accompanist -
A mixed quartette rendered two es
pecially enjoyable numbers of
the programme, the first of which
was the concluding number of the
first part "Jesus, Lover of my Soul."
The other number was a substitute for
the Cecilia Quartette, which did not
appear. The mixed quartette was
composed of Miss Carrie White,
soprano; Miss Ada Cooper, alto; Mr.
C. EL Cooper, tenor, and Mr. A. S.
Holden, baritone.
It is safe to say that one of the most
admirably rendered selections of the
evening introduced the second part of
the programme. It was a pipe organ
solo by Miss Elkabeth Divine Burtt
Her masterly rendition of the difficult
march and chorus from Wagner's
famous "Tannhauser" was a veri
table revelation. She manipulated
the massive organ with thorough ease
and grace and as the . stately
strains of the famous march' and
chorus reverberated through the
church, the audience seemed liter
ally spell-bound intent upon catching
every note. Miss Burtt is conceded to
be one of the most gifted musicians of
the city and her work last night, both
as soloist and accompainst would do
credit to the best musicians of the
country.
Mr. Jas. D. Smith, as tenor soloist
won fresh laurels last night in his
rendering of "The Holy City." There
was a pipe organ accompaniment by
Miss Cannie Chasten.
A mixed quartette of excellent vocal
ists were accorded high- complements
for the manner in which they sang
Haydn's "Kyrie Eleison" (Father
Hear Us). They were Mrs. W. Lu
Latta, Mrs. E. G, Woody, Mr. Chas.
V. Motte and Mr. H. K. Holden, ac
companied by Prof. J. G. Russell. I
At the conclusion of this selection,
Rev. J. H. Hall, the pastor, thanked
the audience for the patronage ac
corded the concert, and announced
that owing to the recent death of her
mother, Mrs. F. A. Muse could not
render the contralto solo which ap
naar Ait m the nroarramme. He also
led in a brief and appropriate prayer,
There only remained two numbers
of the programme to be rendered, a
duet "Be Glad O Ye Righteous" by
TMf Charles McMillen and Mr. A. S.
Holden,- and the full chorus and or
chestra rendition of Mozart's "Gloria"
(from the "Thelf th Mass"). The ren
dition of both was in keeping with
the high standard set by previous
numbers. The chorus for the "Gloria"
was as follows:
Sonranos Mrs. W. L. Latta, Mrs.
nhli) Rlomme . Mrs. Hattie Hew-
wt Mrs. A. S. Holden, Mrs. John
Frank. Miss Lillie Culbreth, Miss

Insurance Companies Domesticated.
The scare of the insurance men over
the Craig bill,! requiring insurance
companies doing business in the State
to become domesticated corporations,
has almost disappeared, despite the
efforts of certain attorneys here to in
crease it ! .
Those who are familiar with the
history of the Craig bill know that its
object was simply to put a stop to the
everlasting running to Federal courts
by foreign corporations when citizens
of this State sue them.
This was certainly its sole obiect.
and those who have carefully exam
ined it say that it does only this. Cer
tainly some of the strongest insurance
companies have so decided, for despite
tne talk of all the insurance compan
ies leaving the State, as many as usual
nave tnis year been licensed to do busi
ness in North Carolina by the Insur
ance Commissioner, and daily some of
them are coming in and complying
with the Craig ; law. Yesterday two
life and one accident company were
domesticated. 1
Those that had up to last night com
plied with the Craig bill are:
New York Life, J. D. Church, of
Charlotte, State agent.
f acme Mutual, A. a. Landsay,
Raleigh, State agent .
Fidelity Mutual, W. B. Farwell,

Northern Assurance. M. S. Willard.

Southern, W. 11 Day, Raleigh, State

An extort will be made to arrange
among the companies that refuse to
come in and be domesticated lor an
agreed test case, i This can be done by
arranging it with the Secretary of
State. One of the companies can do
business one day and petition for a
mandamus against the Secretary of
State. This course will probably be
pursued.
mere are insurance men who be
lieve that by paving the license fee
under the insurance law a company is
authorized to do business m the State.
The insurance bill was passed March
otn, and contained a clause repealing
all laws and clauses of laws in con
flict with the provisions of said act.
This clause, some contend, nullified
the provision of the Craig law as to
insurance companies.
Inquest Postponed.
The Coroner's investigation into the
circumstances of the Hughes' killing,

knows that a small marglnof profit brings them
trade, and it is very necessary that he must

hence he buys his goods from the leading source
of supply, and we nave that reputation and op

success. We are not in the old "But." ) We sell
no low quality goods but give best quality at
prices lower than others can figure their cost,
we ask the retailers to consider their own in
