He Designed Many of the Most Beautiful Buildings in the City of .Wilmington. WAS 81 YEARS - OF AGE. Had Resided Here a Half Ceatary Ills Most Notable Work Was a Cooled erate Vcteraa Died Yesterdsy. Will be Buried To-morrow. It is with especial regret that the Star chronicles the death of another of Wilmington's most venerable and highly respected citisens in the person of Mr. J as. F. Post,-who during his residence of about a half century in this city has, in the exercise of his profession that of architecture in addition to extensive and creditable work in other cities, both prior to and since locating here, designed and supervised the construction of many of the most beautiful and substantial buildings, business and residence, of which the city can boast. Mr. Post died at S o'clock yesterday afternoon at the residence of his son, Mr. James F. Post, Jr., after a serious illness of only two days, he having been on the streets greeting his friends Thursday. He suffered an at tack of acute indigestion on Thursday night, from which he never rallied, sinking gradually until death. He was, however; perfectly conscious and rational until within less than two hours of his death. The deceased was born near Cald well, New Jersey, September 24, 1818, and was therefore in the 82nd year of his age While yet a mere youth he located in New York city and took a five years' course in architecture. In 1841 he moved to Petersburg, Va., remain ing eight years and coming from there to this city in 1849. He would have been a resident of this city just a half century had he lived until November. It was while a resident of Petersburg that Mr. Post was united in marriage to Miss Mary A. Russell, who survives her husband. There were four chil dren. Two preceded their father to the grave, and two sons, both well known business men of this city, survive him, Mr. Jas. F. Post, Jr., the' eldest son, being treasurer for the Atlantic Coast Line system, and prominently con nected with the public school interests of Wilmington as chairman of the school committee, while his brother, Mr. Thoa. R. Post fills with credit the re sponsible position of cashier of the freight department of the, Atlantic Coast Line. There is scarcely a street in Wil mington which is not adorned by some building designed by the deceased, and it is believed that he has during his career given employment to more carpenters and laborers than any other man conducting a similar busi ness. Among the most notable buildings in this city designed and erected by him are the City Hall and Opera House, the splendid Bellamy resi dence, corner Market and Fifth streets; the W. A. Wright residence, corner Sixth and Market, recently purchased by Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy; all th public school buildings, St John's Episcopal, the First Presbyterian and other churches. He supervised the construction of the new court house and was the firet supervisor of the new postoffice building. The ad mirably arranged and tastefully de signed lodge at Oakdale cemetery is a splendid monument to his architectu ral ability. - It will be of interest to note also that Mr. Post drafted the plans and was contractor and builder for the first residence erected by the late John Jacob Astor in New York in 1840. Mr. Post was a Confederate veteran having, although a Northern man volunteered in the Confederate army at the beginning of the civil war. He served as Lieutenant in Bunting's and other artillery com panies. During the last two years of the war he was in charge of the con struction of various fortifications, not ably Fort Fisher and Fort Anderson, guarding the mouth of the Cape Fear river. The deceased was a man of positive character, strong convictions and was in every way true to his friends. He was a Mason and an Odd Fellow. His grand-father was one of the first Dutch settlers and the grant made to his great grand-father by Queen-Elizabeth is still in possession of the family. The Posts are noted as a family of architects, the family not having been without a member in this profession tnr mnM than 300 vears. The most distinguished at the present time hAimrnAo. B. Post of New York, de signer of the World buildingand the Produce Exchange. - The hour for the funeral has not been announced but will be sometime Monday, definite announcement being made at the various churches to day. The delay is on account of the absence of Mrs. Jas. F. Post. Jr., who is visit ing in Ellicott City, Md., and has been summoned by telegraph. The inter ment will be in Oakdale cemetery. The "funeral will be conducted from the residence. No. 102 North Seventh street by Rev. A. P. Tyerof Grace M E. Church, assisted by Rev. A. D.

Effort Renewed To-morrow to Assnre Com iif of North Carolina Firemen to This City Next Year. In a letter to Captain W. P. Monroe, Assistant Chief of the Wilmington Fire Department, received from Dr. J. W. Griffith, of Greensboro, secretary of the North Carolina Fireman's Asso ciation, yesterday, the statement was made "that there is no reason why Wilmington could not get the 1900 tournament provided the mrize list was guaranteed at the convention to be held at Greensboro, August 1st to 4th." That is, the business men of Wilming ton must pledge themselves no w to raise sufficient amount of money,, about $1,200 to provide prizes for toe 1900 tournament if held here. It will also require subscriptions of from 1300 to $500 in addition to this to pro vide certain features of entertainment which it will be necessary-to have. It is said that Greensboro subscribed $1,500 to the prize and general fund for the tournament to be held there in August. Capt Monroe said last night that he will start out again to-morrow (Monday) morning and make a thorough canvass of the business men of the city with ihe view of securing the' supscriptions. Many people in Wilmington are very anxious to se cure the tournament for this city. It will certainly prove a very valuable advertisement for the city and attract thousands of people here during its session. The Mayor and Board of Al dermen have already extended the tournament an invitation. AT HILTON PARK. Cyreae Vaudeville Company Begins a Week's Engagement There To morrow Night. The Star mentioned several days ago that Manager Skelding, who is ever on the alert to provide the patrons of the Street Railway Company not only with the best of car service, but with first class seasonable attractions at Hilton Park, had made arrange ments for the appearance of the Cyrene Vaudeville Company for one solid week. It is now definitely decided that the openirje engagement will be at the park to-morrow night. The company has just closed a very successful week at Raleigh and the papers of that city speak very compli mentarily of the entertainment af forded. The Morning Post of a recent date, in speaking of the show, says: "During the evening from 8 to 11 o'clock about one thousand people visited Puilen Park last night to wit ness the performance of the Cyrene Vaudeville Show, from 500 to 700 peo ple being at the park at one time. Among the visitors were large num bers of the best people in Raleigh, in eluding the heads of such families, their wives and daughters. Quite a number of these were asked how they enjoyed the evening, and without ex ception, all of them expressed them selves as highly pleased, and espe cially congratulated themselves and their neighbors that such a source of recreation for the long and warm sum mer evenings - had been provided in Raleigh." The show is absolutely free to all street car patrons, and tickets for re served seats will be furnished on the cars en route. Tournament at WhitevlUe. Whiteville people are making elab borate preparations for a gala day in their town on Thursday, July 20th. A correspondent of the Star, writing under date of yesterday, says that a reduction of one-third from the regu lar fare has been made for the occa sion by the Atlantic Coast Line, and a tremendous crowd is expected. In addition to the tournament and public dinner, music will be furnished dur ing the day by the Chadbourn Cornet Band, and for -the reception at night by Francisco's Italian Band of Wil mington. In the afternoon a match game of base ball between the White ville and Fair Bluff teams will be the attraction. The Stab is under obliga tions to Wade Wlshart, Esq., of the Whiteville bar, for an invitation to be present on this occasion. Unsightly Streets. Chief of Police Parmele has insti tuted a crusade against the indiscrim inate piling of -goods boxes on the sidewalks in front of their stores by certain wholesale and retail mer chants of the city. While this might be tolerated to a limited extent on week days. Chief Parmele says there is no excuse for allowing them to re main over Sunday, to be remarked about by the large number of visitors T, thg cuy wbo come to Wilmington and the seashore on Saturdays, re maining over until Monday. A num ber of the street carts were out last night gathering them up and remov ing them to the lot at the back of the city hall. Tax Valuations. Yesterday afternoon the Board of County Commissioners completed the work of equalizing as far as possible the property tax valuations as made by thcBoard of Assessors during the month of May. It has been a labori ous task and the board has been almost in constant session since the second Monday in the present month. In many instances members of the board have found it necessary to drive over the city in order to make the proper valuations and the work has been tedious in the extreme. It is unneces sary to say that the - valuations as amended are much more satisfactory to property owners' than -before. SUNDAY, JULY 16, 1899. WHITTLE-TIE CUT" WITH WILMJNQTON AND WILSON. Base Ball Game Yesterday at Hilton Park . Resulted In a Tie Many Specta tors Good Playing. One of the most interesting base ball games played on the Hilton Park diamond thus far this season was the" one yesterday afternoon between the Wilson and Wilmington team, the contest h&ving closed in a tie, the score standing 6 to 6. The crowd was one of the largest that has attended any game of the season and verytmuch enthusiasm was manifested during the progress of the game. Until the eighth inning there was every indication that Wilmington would be victorious by two or three points, the score standing at that time five to three against Wilson. . Wilmington made four runs in the first inning, one each by Zellers, Schutte, Branson and Watson. The result of the second inning, however, seemed to materially check the enthusiasm and eoastf ulness of the Wilmington team and their host of admiring "fans" and "rooters," Wil son scoring three runs.' They were made by Pearson, Brake and Skinner. Neither team scored in the third inning.- In the fourth B. Jones scored a run, making Wilmington's score 5 to Wilson 3. The next scores were by Wilkin s and Pearson, of the Wilson team, one each, in the eiehth inning. These brought the score to a tie, paving the way for the ninth and last inning to be one of intense excitement. During the inning each team made a run, Morton for Wilmington and Jordan for Wilson. The spectators cried loudly for the game to continue until the tie was broken, but the game, was called. The official score by innings was as follows: 123456789 Wilson 03000002 16 Wilmington ... 40010000 16 The line-up was as follows : Wilmington.

Mrs. Hoge and daughter will remain at Selma on a visit to friends and relatives for sev eral days and Mr. Hoge will eo to Durham, near which place he has an appointment to conduct a series of re vi val services similar to those just con ' eluded at Southside Baptist Church. . The meetings at Southside were the most successful held since the church was organized. Friday night the ser mon of Mr. Hoge on "Baptism and Communion" was said by competent authorities to have been the best de livered during the week. After the regular services on that night twenty candidates were baptized and two ad mitted to church membership by letter. Mr. Hoge was greatly assisted in the work of the meeting by Mrs. Hoge, who held nearly every evening la prayer meeting of thirty minutes dura tion for the ladies only. x LEFT YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.

HUNDREDS OF GUESTS AH The Seaside Hotels Are Now Crowded WitWleasure Seekers. MANY ARRIVALS YESTERDAY. Each Week Eclipses Its Predecessor in Number of Visitors and Round of Pleasure Seashore's Dance. Successful Canoe Race. Each passing week is now more dis tinguished than its .predecessor in the number of visitors who flock to Wil mington and her seaside resorts, Wrightsville and Carolina beaches, in search" of social pleasure, refreshing seabreezes and surf-bathing. The ho tels on Wrightsville Beach, Seashore and Ocean View, have been thronged with guests all the- week, large num bers having been turned away on at least two nights. The Oceanic Hotel, on Carolina Beach, has also been full to overflowing, specially during the late sessions of the North Carolina Press Association. A number of the cottagers also allowed proprietor Jenkins, of the Oceanic, to assign guests to bedrooms in their cottages, they taking their meals at the hotel. There was the usual influx of week end visitors over the Seaboard Air Line and Atlantic Coast Line during yesterday, the people, coming from various points in and out of the State along these two railway systems. There were probably 250 or more over the S. A. L. and nearljr or quite as many over the A. C. L. They went on the afternoon and evening Seacoast trains to Wrightsville or on the steamer Wilmington to Carolina Beach. Many of them will spend some time and others will return home Monday or Tuesday. In the matter of social attractions the past week has been especially notable, the most distinguishing fea tures being the Hanover Seaside and the Sedgeley ' Hall club receptions complimentary to the visiting editors on Wednesday and Thursday even ings and the dance complimentary to the visiting young ladies by Atlantic clubmen on Friday night. As usual, Seashore Hotel crowned wthe week's features with a delightful dance last night.
