Others Probably Arrive To-dsy Cour testes Extended the Newspaper Men by Clubs and Seacoast Railroad. To-day's Prorramme. The editors of many North Caro lina newspapers arrived here yester day and are now on Carolina Beach ready for the annual convention of the North Carolina Press Association, which will be called to order at 9:30 o'clock this morning in Sedgely Hall club house by President W. C. Dowd, of the Charlotte News. Between 50 and 75 members of the Association arrived yesterday and others are expected to-day, so that the attendance will very probably be well in excess of one hundred. Quite a number of the editors are accompa nied by ladies. Recelvior the Visitors. The incoming trains were met yes terday by members of the Chamber of Commerce Committee and represen tatives of the local press. Mr. J.B. Sherrill. Secretary of the Press Asso ciation also met the afternoon trains and shared the pleasure of receiving the newspaper men, providing them with badges and advising them as to the arrangements for their transpor tation to the beach, and the plans of the reception and entertainment com mittee. A number of those who arrived here on the earlier trains went straight on to the beach on the after noon boats, but by far the largest number made the trip on the 7.30 boat. Proprietor Jenkins, of the Oceanic Hotel, despite the fact that he was crowded with excursionists, made am ple provision 'for their accommoda tion and ministered in every way pos sible to their comfort. To-day's Proframme. When the convention is called to order at 9.30 o'clock this morning the following programme for the day will be observed : Prayer by Rev. T. N. Ivey, D.

As previously announced their badges are recognized for free transportation on the Wilmington street cars, on the steamer Wilmington and for the priv eleges of Sedgely Hall and Hanover Seaside clubs. Yesterday Commodore Jas. F.

Force of Hands Begun Improvements Yes terdty Mornlni New Baildinx j WHI be Erected. The Stab mentioned yesterday tha Captain W. H. Clark, of the U. S. Revenue Cutter service, was in the city to superintend the work of re building and otherwise improving the government wharf near the foot of Princess street, preparatory to the as signment here for permanent duty of a first class revenue cutter. John H. Howe, colored, to whom the contract for repairs has been let under the general supervision of Capt. Clark, put a force of hands at work yesterday morning tearing -away the old government shed just south of the Princess street dock and during the day succeeded in razing most of it to the ground. The old shed being torn away is over 100 feet long and has been an eye sore to people doing business in close proximity for a number of years. Hardly any of the old material will be fit for use in making the repairs and the wharf and the new shed which the government proposes to erect will be practically built of new material. Capt Clark says that in place of the old building, a new one, only forty-five feet in length will be erected and the entire government property there en closed with a substantial wooden fence. The force of carpenters is making remarkable progress thus far and with in a short time, will have all repairs made. WINSTON-SALEM EXCURSION. More Than Three Hundred Pleasure Seekers Arrived Yesterdsy Evening. An excursion more than three-hundred strong arrived here yesterday evening from Winston-Salem and in tervening points. It is in charge of Mr. D. S. Reid and will remain until Thursday at H P, M. The crowd divi ded between Wrightsville and Caro lina Beaches last night and will go to sea on the steamer Wilmington to-day, leaving Market street dock at 9.15 o'clock. A train from the Seacoast railroad met the excursionists at the A. C. L. depot and those bound for Wrights ville Beach merely changed cars and went straight through to the Beach. Both Seashore and Ocean View Hotels are taxed to their utmost capacity and a large number of excursionists were forced to return to the city for accommodations last night ; There were two reserve seat cars at tached to the train and many of Winston-Salem's most representative people are among the patrons. ; WILL SOON ELECT GRADED SCHOOL TEACHERS Committees of Wilmington Township to Meet Changes by Last Legislatare. Superintendent Blair's Re-election Announcement was made yesterday morning of a session of the New Han over County Board of Education held Monday, at which the county educa tional fund was apportioned and boards of trustees elected for the vari ous townships. Stab readers doubt less noticed that no reference was made to Wilmington township either as to educational fund or trustees. The reason for this was that by an act of the last Legislature the committeemen who previously served so efficiently as members of committees No's. 1 and 2 of Wilmington township were con tinued for the next two years. And under this law the apportionment of funds is made direct to the committees. Committee No. 1 is composed of Mr. Jas. F. Post Jr., (chairman), Mr. Edwin Borden and Mr. R. J. Jones. Members of Committee No. 2 are Mr. James H. - Chadbourn (chairman), Capt W. R. Kenan and Mr. Samuel Northrop. The Wilmington township commit tees are composed of representative business men, and the schools are flourishing under their supervision. It is very probable that this committee will hold a meeting within the next few days for the purpose of electing teachers for the Wilmington graded schools. At this meeting a superintendent will also be elected. It is generally supposed that Mr. Jno. J. Blair will succeed himself in this re sponsible position, as members of the committee say that he gave entire sat isfaction during the four months of the last session, when he succeeded Prof. M. C. 8. Noble, and had the schools under his supervision. 0PP FOR RICHM0M0. Bsptlst Boys' Brigade Leaves st Seven O'clock This Evening. The members of the Baptist Boys' Brigade were engaged yesterday in packing up and making all arrange ments to start on their Richmond trip to-night via the Atlantic Coast Line. Rates have been secured and the pros pects now are that a large percentage of the number on the muster roll will go on the trip. During their stay in Richmond they will have an . oppor tunity of attending the convention of the Baptist Young Peoples' Union, of America, and the trip promises to be a most delightful one. Following is the roster of the bri gade : H. G. Whitney, commanding. K"irst Lieut- Oeo Leftwich. Second Lieut Junius Premoert M Quartermaster Sergeant Leland G.

Band Concert and Dance. Many people will doubtless be at tracted to Ocean View Hotel, .on Wrightsville Beach, to-night when the regular Wednesday night dance will be given, and beginning at 8.45 the Second Regiment Band will give a grand concert. Dancing will suc ceed the concert and will continue until 11 o'clock, when the last train will leave for the city. The following programme will be rendered by the band: March, "Manhattan Beach," Soma. Negro Ditty, "My Cold Black Lady," Cornet Solo, "Cape May Polka," LiberatiTAr. 8. A- Schloss.

March, "Stars and Stripes Forever," Sousa. County Commissioners As on the day before, the Boards of County Commissioners and Equaliza tion had long and tedious sessions again yesterday. The only business transacted consisted of reducing the tax valuations and the hearing of complaints of property owners. There is no telling at what time the work will be concluded, as almost every valuation is considered excessive by those besieging the commissioners' room ' during the sessions. Deputy Register of Deeds MeLaurin is in at tendance as clerk to the boards. PLANS FOR CLUB HOUSE IMPROVEMENTS. Two New Bondings to be Erected Also a Bowling Alley Dance Hall Enlargement. Commodore Ancrum Lord and a number of the most prominent mem bers of Carolina Yacht Club, on Wrightsville Beach, have under con sideration very extensive improve ments in the club house and grounds. The changes are not to be made this season, but will most probably be in augurated in October so that the place will be in "ship shape" at the opening of the season of 1900. The growth of the club is such that the present buildings are entirely too small for the accommodation 'of the members. The plan is to erect two large two-story buildings, one for ladies and the other for gentle men. The first floor of each of these will be fitted up as bath and dressing apartments and the second floors as sleeping rooms or for whatever purpose the club may desire. A feature of the ladies' building will a nursery. The present bath houses are to be joined together and converted into a bowling alley. The present club house will be re tained in its present shape except that the two small rooms in the north end are to be torn out and the space ad ded to the already commodious dance hall. Commodore Lord is very enthusias tic over the prospects for the success of the plan and there is every reason to believe that the changes will be made in ample time for the next sea son. To commence the work now would greatly inconvenience members. BY RIVER AND RAIL. Receipts of Naval Stores and Cotton Yesterday. W. & W. Railroad 2 casks spirits turpentine. W. C. & A.

Elias Butler, a young colored man, was arrested Monday afternoon by Policeman M. E. Guy on a warrant from Sumter, S. C, charging him with the robbery of a hotel in that town of a large quantity of jewelry. As the colored excursion train was leaving the S. A. L. passenger depot Monday morning, a gentleman from Sumter pointed out the negro to the police men on duty there, who communi cated with Policeman Guy, knowing that he had a warrant for the negro's arrest Policeman Guy arrested the negro near the corner of Seventh and Market streets in the afternoon, placed him in the guard house and imme diately communicated with the Sum ter authorities. So far no reply has been received, but the negro does not disclaim his identity and says that he has worked at the hotel which was robbed, but is not implicated in any way in the robbery. Cutting Affray at the "Y." Will Williams, the negro section hand arrested by Deputy Sheriffs Flynn and Terry Sunday night was arraigned in Justice McGowan's court yesterday morning charged with as sault and battery with a knife upon Sam Pearce, also colored. It will be recalled that a fight occurred at the "Y" some time ago, in which Pearce was severely gashed about" the arm and back, and that Williams, the de fendant in the case yesterday, was charged with the assault Williams was represented at the hearing by Herbert McClammy, Esq. Justice McGowan, after hearing the evidence in the case, amended the warrant, making the charge an affray and committed" them both to jail in default of $25 bond for their appear ance at the August term of the Crim inal Court Southside Meeting. Twenty-seven professions of faith were made at the revival service last night at Southside Baptist church after the sermon by Rev. B. Lacy Hoge. Interest in the meeting is on the in crease and Rev. Mr. Hoge is preaching to large congregations at each service, There were also at the meeting last night nine additions to the church membership. The meetings will be continued at the usual hours until the Friday night service when a special sermon will be preached on "Church Ordinances" and the baptismal service observed. EXCURSION. R. E.
