The Chamber of Commerce Fa vors Its Purchase by the City. - A VfcRY IMPORTANT REPORT. By a Special Committees-Boards of Alder men and Andit and Finance Will be ; Asked to Take Action Other Routine Business. The J une meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held yesterday after noon in the MacRae building. Members present were Mr. M. B. Jacob! (vice president), CoL Jno. L. Cantwell (sec retary and treasurer), Mr. J. B. Mer cer, Mr. D. L. Gore, Mr. B. F. Keith, Mr. Gabriel Holmes, Mr. R. M. Wescott, Mr. W. J. Martin, Mr. F. Woodruff. Mr. S, H. Fishblate, Mr. Geo. R. French and Mr. Jas. H. Cowan. The Brunswick Ferry. The most important business con sidered was probably the report of the special committe appointed to investi gate the matter of bringing about the purchase of the Brunswick Ferry. The committee made the following report: To the Chamber of Commerce, Wil mington, N. C: Gentlemen We, your committee appointed to draw up a bill to be pre sented to the Legislature, empowering the City of Wilmington to issue bonds, not to exceed the sum of twelve thou sand five hundred dollars, for the pur chase of the Wilmington and Bruns wick Ferry, beg leave to report that such a bill was presented to the Leg islature by Representative Dr. McNeill, of Brunswick county, and became a law at the last session. Your committee further represent, that they have given the matter care ful and diligent consideration, and now report, that in their judgment, no money can be so well invested, and which gives greater promise for the future growth and material progress of our city as this. The country comprising the upper end of Brunswick and the lower end of Columbus counties, with such in ducements as a free ferry would offer, would make that territory tributary to Wilmington and would be incentive to rapid and substantial growth. You committee believe, in a few years, the increased trade from fhis territory, so capable of raising any and all kinds of fruit and truck, would many times repay the amount so expended. A - free ferry, contributed by the city, would be a strong inducement to the citizens of Brunswick, to improve the roads con necting with the ferry, which it is be lieved they would do, with the great est unanimity, in their own interest, and take sole charge of the road and ferry lying in Brunswick county. In this way both city and country would be benefitted. Your commit tee regard the purchase as a step in the right direction, which ought to have been taken years ago, and .earnestly recommend that the Chamber of Com merce take such active and efficient steps as they may deem proper to pro cure necessary action on the part of the officials of our city to so use the money authorized by the last Legisla ture, which they now have the power to appropriate. i - B. F. Keith, Chairman, Marcus W. Jacobi, . J. B. Merger. Want City Authorities to Act The report was read by the secretary, and Mr. R. M. Wescott made a mo tion that the report be received. A general discussion ensued, during which remarks were made by Messrs' B. F. Keith, D. L. Gore, J. B. Mercer, R. M. Wescott and others. . The question was raised as to whether or not the Ferr Company would take $12,500 for their property. Mr. Keith was confident that they would willingly sell, for that price, despite the" fact- that they have at different times asked from 118,000 to $20,000 for this property. The discussion led to the amendment of Mr. Wescott's motion to accept the report so that provision was made in the motion adopted for the acceptance of the report and the appointment of a special committee of - five members of the chamber to go before he Board of Aldermen and Board of Audit and Finance and lay the matter, together with the report, before those bodies and urge that steps be taken without delay looking to the purchase and the establishment of a free ferry. The following committee1 was appointed by Vice President Jacobi who presided durinorthe meetinsr yesterday in the absence of President Worth: Messrs D. L. B. F. Geo.iJ, Gore, Keith. French, J. B. Mercer, Gabrel Holmes and 1 New Members Elected. Five new members were elected yes- . terday by the Chamber, four of them being residents of this city and one a Southport firm. The jion-resident member were Messrs. M. C. Guthrie and Son, of Southport. The others were Messrs. S. A.' Schloss & Co., Messrs'. I, M. Bear & Co, Mr. W. H. Yopp and Mr. D. W. Bulluck, President Worth Resigns. -; A feature of the meeting of the Chamber which was- anything but gratifying to the members was the presentation of the resignation of Mr. W. E. Worth as president of the Chamber. Instating the reason for his resignation, Mr. Worth, wna is out of the city, wrote the Chamber that he accepted the office of President against his better judgment fearing that he would not have the time aside from his regular business, routine to properly care for the best interests of the chamber. He also gave expres sion to great appreciation for the honor conferred upon him by his re cent election to the presidency. , Qn motion of Mr. D. L. Gore, sec onded by Mr. Keith, action upon the resignation was deferred until . the next meeting, and the chairman ap pointed Messrs. Geo. R. French, B, F. u.. i. Keith and D.

' Col. Cantwell, as secretary, read a communication from Capt E. W. VanCourt Lucas, engineer in charge of the Wilmington Division, United State Surveying Corps, in- which he thanked the ' chamber for having elected him an honorary mem ber of that body. He assured, them that his personal interest in the growth and prosperity of the city and his du ties as engineer in charge of the de velopment of Wilmington's "seaport and harbor facilities will ever cause him to take the deepest interest in the proceedings of the Chamber of Com merce, and that whenever possible it would be his pleasure to attend the meetings. , Reports of Committees. . " ' Mr. George R. French, as a member of a special committee, reported the Successful entertainment of the Asso ciation of Superintendents of Railway Telegraph, stating that the members who attended the convention here went away greatly pleased with the city and the hospitality accorded them. Reports were also made regarding several other matters which are being pushed by the chamber, but which it is not advisable now to publish. The chamber adjourned about 5.30 o'clock. j j COL.

The animal was driven to the sound and back, and be fore the harness was taken from him he fell, dying almost immediately. borne ot tne Syrian s neighbors say that he claimed his horse was too strong and insisted on weakening him down by not feeding him for a day or so. The hard drive under these con ditions not unnaturally produced fatal results. Bufarro lost another horse earlier in the week, t First Day of Tax Listing.
