U. of Americar ATTRACTED MUCH ATTENTION Pint Baptist Cborch Had Urrest Deleta. tioa of Any Chorck ia the Ualted States Outside VlrrlnlaCoo ventioa Ecbo Meetlnr. With colon still flying and a light atep, which indicated that they were none the "worse for wear," the Bap tiat Boys' Brigade, under command of Capt. H. G. Whitney and First Lieu: tenant George Leftwich, arriyed yes terday afternoon at 5.50 o'clock from Richmond, where they have been at tending the convention of the Baptist Young People's Union of America. Dr. Blackwell, who was also in at tendance upon the convention, return ed Saturday in time to fill his usual ap pointment at the First Baptist Church. He was highly elated, as well he might be, oyer Wilmington's delegation at the convention, and spoke interesting ly of the many courtesies shown them and especially to members of the Boys' Brigade. His own church and the Sun day school had the largest delegation of any single church in the United States outside of Virginia, and the pretty ahowing they made was the subject of much favorable comment. The North Carolina banner was de clared to be the prettiest of all those in he various parades. It was uniquely studded with genuine old North Caro lina pine burrs, and after the demon stration these were distributed as sou venirs to admiring friends in Northern States and in Canada. -v The Richmond Dispatch, in its ex cellent report of the proceedings, says : "North Carolina came next, and the banner of the State, which was borne by Miss Florence Whitney, accompa nied by Rev. Dr. Thomas Hume, for merly -of Virginia, was escorted by the Boys' Brigade of Wilmington church. The brigade presented a very good" appearance in their white uni forms, and were loudly applauded. Both Dr. Chivers and Dr. Hume paid high tributes to the work ot Rev. Calvin S. Blackwell in behalf of the Baptist Young People's Union." Thursday night, in the lecture room of the church, there will be a "Con vention Echo Meeting," at which Dr. Blackwell and others will tell of what they saw and heard at this great meet ing. During their stay in Richmond the brigade waa comfortably quartered on the .Richmond College campus and had excellent drill and parade grounds. ESCAPED CONVICT CAPTRUED. Deputy Sheriffs Terry aad Flyna Re-Com-milted Sandy McKoy, Colored, to the Workhonse. About davli?ht Sunday morning Deputy Sheriffs Flynn and Terry cap tured Sandy McKoy, colored, at the Navassa Guano Company's works across the river. McEoy is an escaped convict from the workhouse, having been com mitted there about four years ago as the result of a trial, in which he was found guilty of waylaying and shoot ing a white man from the country named Jno. Farrow. His sentence was two years at hard labor, but after serving five months and thirteen days of the sentence he escaped from a son of Mr. Terry, who was then keeper of the workhouse, carrying with nim tne shackles with which he was bound. Saturday Messrs. Flynn and Terry heard that the negro waa living over at Navassa and beiore iigm on Sunday morning tney aes out to capture him, arriving at Na vassa about daylight as before stated. They located his house and upon calling for him at the door, McKoy saw that the inquirers for him were officers and he immediately led Mr. Flynn a hot chase through the house and across the lot at the rear of the building. The deputiea had, however, anticipated such an emergency and Mr. Terry, who waa stationed along the line of travel, sprang from his hiding place and laid hold upon him. ... Mr. Flynn, in the meantime, now- ever. had fired his pistol and the ne gro having been frightened out of his wits,' easily gave up and consented to return to the woraThouse. The pris oner said yesterday that it had been his intention for some time to return to the workhouse and complete his sentence, but hia action on the occa- ... m . OB sion of his capture, ine omcers say, did not indicate that purpose. New Cottaxes Being Built. Th Wilmington Cotton Mills Com pany is having erected for its opera- tivea ten new cottages on woosxer between Front and Surry streets. They are very pretty designs and will make comfortable homes for the company's employes. In this connec tion it will be of interest to note mat notwithstanding the dull season, these mills are running regularly day and night and the output of manufactured products is the same as during tne busier months with other mills.

One Negro Shot and Killed Another About Twelve Miles Prom Wilmington. Self Defence Claimed. .Mr. J. B. Evans, who came by way of the county road from his home in Brunswick county yesterday morn ing, brought the news of a homicide, which occurred about twelve miles from Wilmington at Spring Hill in his county Saturday night. The parties concerned are negroes and the body of Ben White, the negro killed, was passed by Mr. Evans on the road yesterday morning. From what he could learn from the crowd which had collected around the negro's body Mr. Evana said that during the servi ces at St. Mary's colored church about" nine miles from Wilmington Sunday night, the negro White engaged in an altercation with another colored man named Ed. Burton, who was not disposed to quarrel and left the church to procure a peace warrant for White. Burton was, however, overtaken by White about three miles down the road, at Spring Hill, and White at tempted to draw his pistol, whereupon Burton drew his in self defence, he claimed, and shot his assailant in the abdomen, killing him almost instantly. Several other negroes were wit nesses to the homicide, and the y;en eral opinion prevails that the faflling was justifiable. ' Burton was seen by Mr. Evans yes terday morning on his way to surren der to Sheriff D. R Walkej. Both Burton and White are natives of Brunswick county, and Mr. Evans says Burton has hitherto borne a good character, being on all occasions quiet and orderly. The cause of the quarrel, which cul minated in the homicide, could not be learned, but it was intimated that bad feeling had existed between the two for some time. ' CAMP DISAPPOINTMENT. News Prom Our Soldier Boys in Encamp ment at Morebead Very Poor Accommodations Offered. A letter received yesterday from the Star's special correspondent in camp with the State Guard at More head, dated "Camp Disappointment, July 15th, 12 30 o'clock, and all wrong," reports the safe arrival of the Wilmington Light Infantry at 8.15 o'clock on Saturday evening. Every thing, however, is not "sailing smoothly," as the following extracts from his letter will show : The""boys were very much disap pointed at the condition of the camp when they arrived. JNo tents are here and the men are forced to sleep in the open air. The boys of all the com panies say that it is the poorest man aged camp they have ever seen. Not a stove wasprovided to cook their meals and the Wilmington boys have appro priately termed the camp, (Jamp Dis appointment." Captain White as usual is doing every tning for tne comfort of his men and Quarter Mas ter Sergeant J. S. Hooper furnished the W. L. I. boys with a good supper to-night. The prospects are that the boys will spend the greater part of Sunday pitching tents. No one seems to know anything and some of the company commanders are so much displeased that they are talking of tax ing their companies home as soon as possible. Since the W. L. I. left home Cap tain White has promoted Corporal F. C. Craft to Fourth Sergeant and pri vate J. H. Taylor, Jr., to Fourth Cor poral. The W. L. I. boys are faring as well as any and are very willing to pitch tent, or do anything else, but they have not been furnished tents up to this time, and are compelled to eat cold food because the stores that ought to have been here two days ago have not arrived. Capt. White says he hopes to have his men comfortably quartered by Sundaynight The Wilmington details have been here since Thursday expecting to have tents up and everything in readiness, but up to this time almost nothing has arrived. ALCOHOL BARREL EXPLODED. Narrow Escape of a Negro Porter at Bel (amy's Drag Store. . The explosion of an alcohol barrel in front of Mr. R. R. Bellamy's drug store yesterday forenoon created con siderable excitement, but did no dam age save the singing of the eye-brows and mustache of the negro porter. The barrel had been emptied and the porter was rolling it out of the front door of the wholesale department across the sidewalk into the street. Mr. Leger Meyer, whose tailoring establishment is next door, had been heating a tailor's goose on the sidewalk and several hot coals were still there. A long stream of alcohol ran from the barrel, came in contact with the hot coals and ig nited. Quick as a flash a trail of fire ran to the barrel, singing the por ter's browa and mustache as it passed. The negro realizing the danger of his situation gave the barrel a vigorous push. It scarcely reached the curbing when there was a loud explosion and the head of the barrel and an iron hoop were thrown some distance. . Excursion.

The week's engagement by the Cyrene Vaudeville Company, at Hil ton Park, was very auspiciously inau gurated last night Probably eight hundred people visited the park during the evening, and every one pronounced the performance interesting, and deemed themselves abundantly repaid for the trip. A threatening 'cloud necessitated a considerable curtailment of 'the programme. An excellent stage has been impro vised in front of the base ball grand stand, with dressing rooms for the show people near by. Probably the best received features of the performance last night were the Gyrene's rope walking, the illustrated songs and the old time cake walk. The last named was the closing feature of the performance and was declared by those in a position to know to be the real article. ' The stereopticon illustrations were well presented and of a very high order from a moral point of view. From an official announcement in another column it will be seen that the Cyrene Company will entertain every night this week, street car tickets ad mitting you to the performance. REV. B. LACY H0QE CALLED. To Patorate of Southside Baptist Church. Probable That He Will Accept. - At a conference of the members of Southside Baptist Church held Sun day, the clerk of the church was instructed to extend to Rev. B. Lacy Hoge, of Concord, N. C, a unanimous call to the pastorate of that congrega tion, his acceptance to take effect October 1st Announcement was made in these columns several weeks ago that Rev. F. H. Farrington, who has faithfully served this church for some time, had tendered his resignation, to take effect September 1st, but he has now kindly consented to remain as pastor until October 1st, at which time it is expec ted R9v. Mr. Hoge will enter upon the work. It is Mr. Farrington's intention to complete his education either in North Carolina or at some college in his na tive State, Alabama. Rev. Mr. Hoge at present has a very flourishing church at Concord, but it is very probable that he will accept the call from the Southside congrega tion. He has just closed a very suc cessful meeting at this church, and the congregation feel especially endeared to himself and wife for the faithful work done in this direction. At the meeting Sunday the hand of fellowship waa extended to twenty eight new members of the church aa the result of this meeting referred to. A Y0UNU NEGRO DROWNED. Probably Seized With Epileptic Fit While Bathing Sunday Afternoon. A yonng negro, William Barge, in the employ of DuBrutz Cutlar, Esq., at his summer house on Wrightaville sound waa drowned Sunday afternoon while bathing in the sound. His body waa not found Until about 6 o'clock yesterday morning. The negro was granted permis sion to use Mr. Cutlar's bath house, about 3 o'clock, and he not having returned for duty at the residence at 6 o'clock, search was made for him and articles of clothing found 'in the house which led to the belief that he" had been drowned. The bottom of the sound in the vicinity was dragged. When found the body had a severe bruise over the right eye, which it is conjectured was caused by falling upon some object while suffering an epileptic fit attack. Dr. Price, the coroner, went to the Sound yesterday to view the body and deemed an inquest unnecessary. Serious Accident Narrowly Averted. Some excitement was caused near corner Water and Princess streets yes terday morningoy the overturning'of a buggy, in which Mr. L. H. Vollers, the contractor, and Mrs. Vollers were driving. At a car standing on the dummy track on Water street there was a congestion of vehicles loading and unloading, and the buggy in which Mr. and Mrs. Vollers were seated became in some way entangled and hardly had they time to dis mount before the buggy was up-side -down. Fortunately neither Mr. or Mrs. Vollers were injured, though Mrs. Vollers was greatly- excited and had to be led into the store of Messrs. Wescott & Stone to allow her nervea to become quieted. Tax Assesments. Messrs. T. O. Bunting, W. B. Blanks and Capt Armand DeRosset have now begun in dead earnest the compilation of the county tax books, since the Commissioners have con cluded their work of equalizing as far as possible the assesments. ' It is im possible as yet to form any definite idea as to how he valuations on real estate will compare with the last valua tions fixed, but it is enough to know that the assesments have been greatly reduced from he figures set by the Board of Assessors. Of course there, is a natural increase in real estate valuation by reason of improvement and new 'Building, but aside from thia, a superficial examination of the books would indicate that on unimproved property the valuation ia about the same as in preceding years. nn a in) NEWS FROM RALEIGH. State Treasurer's Statement in Regard to the Finances of the Penitentiary. THE INDEBTEDNESS IS LARGE. Only Debts Contracted Prior to January 1st, 1899, Will be Paid Pending Su preme Court Decision Lumber Company Incorporated. 1 Special Star Correspondence.' Raleigh, N. C, July 17. Pending final discussion of the pen itentiary claims case by the Supreme Court, the State Treasurer will pay. such claims as contain only debts or part of debts contracted prior to Jan uary 1st, 1899. To insure this the following affidavit has been printed in blank and will, when duly signed and sworn to, be attached to all war rants paid. Holders of claims unable or unwilling to make this affidavit must wait for the Supreme " Court to decide the case before they can get their money : , ' to whose order the hereto at tached (warrant No. , for the sum of has been drawn by the Execu tive Board of the State Prison of North Carolina being duly sworn, says that no item of indebtedness in curred since Dec. 31, 1898, is included in the amount named in the said war rant, but that the whole indebtedness included in and covered by the amount named in said hereto attached warran' was due and payable on or before Dec. 31, 1899, for debts previously con tracted on account of thef management of the said State's Prison." The Treasury Statement. The following statement in regard to the penitentiary finances was given out at the State Treasurer's office : "The State's prison has drawn out the balance it had in the State Treas ury January 1, 1899, which was $1,684.85. It has drawn all the collec tions turned into the Treasury from earnings since January 1, which was 120,666.27. It has drawn all the special appropriations made by the last Gen eral Assembly, $5,414.10, and also $35,517.13 out of the $50,000 for sup port for the year 1899, making total drawn from the State Treasury . since January 1, $63,882.35. This prison has had in addition to this all receipts from earnings since February 9, 1899; none since that time have been .turned into the treasury. Figuring lust a little Lwill show that out of the $50,000 ap propriated to supplement the earnings and run the enterprise this year only $14,482.97 remains in the treasury. Out of the $63,282.35 spent by the prison this year out of the treasury only $22,351-12 was from earnings, and $40,931.23 was straight out of the treasury. Of these earnings $21,538 was applied on last year's debts, leav ing of earnings only $813.12 applica ble to the current year's accounts and showing a net total of $41,744.35 on this year's accounts. "Divide the $50,000 appropriation into twelve months and take six and one-half months, the amount will be found to be $27,083.33, while the prison has drawn everything else in sight and $35,517.13 on this account, which shows they have had over the proportion, $8,433.80. "If it has required all the income from earnings and $40,931.23 to run the prison for the last six and one-half months with sa old debts in their way the .question now is,, how will the1 prison pull through the next five and one-half months on only $14,482.87, which is all it has to its credit in the State Treasury for the balance of the year? "Remember that of the appropria tions, the whole $40,931.23 added to $813.12 from earnings of last year, to gether with all other receipts by the prison since February 9 th, have all been used on this year's accounts. The other old accounts prior to January 1st having been pro vided for by sales of bonds are not in cluded in the above figures." Lumber Company Incorporated. The Union Lumber Company, of Jarrett's, Macon county, was to-day incorporated by the Secretary of State. The capital stock is $50,000 and the incorporators are John W. Beecher, I. N. Beardsley, John A. Inness and O.

A severe wind and rain storm visited this city Sunday afternoon. Sevexal fine trees were either blown down or badly broken. A large oak, the only one ofNoriginal growth left in Nash square, was blown down. They Enjoyed the Occasion. Mr. C. P. Sapp, of the Raleigh News and Observer, has this to say of the social feature of the recent meeting of the Press Association at Carolina Beach: . Socially the meeting of the editors was made pleasant by the courtesy of Wilmingtonians, who gave them the keys of the city while. in town and many of whom ran down to the beach each day to mingle with the visitors. On Wednesday and Thursday night the Hanover Seaside and Sedgeley TTn Clubs gave . receptions and dances in honor of the visitors, and their elegant club rooms were at all times at the service of the journal ists. " Captain Harper, of the Wilmington and Southport steamship line, a man of unfailing geniality and "most pleas ant wit" took those of the visitors who wished to go for a run down the fine expanse of the lower Cape Fear and out to sea. Complimentary Sailing Party. One of the pleasant events at Wrightaville laat Saturday night was a "complimentary sail" given by Mr. Clarence D. Maffitt on his yacht, the Pleasure Seeker, to a number of young ladies the marooning party in the Hanby Cottage. It was thoroughly enjoyed-and the siren whistle and megaphone, which Capt Maffitt had on board, afforded no end of amuse ment for the young ladies. Capt Maffitt says he stands ready to prove at any time that the Pleasure Seeker made the sail from Corn Cake Inlet inside Wrightsville bar in the remark ably short time of three hours.

The week will in all probability be well up to the standard in the number and elegance of events. A NEW CITY DIRECTORY. Mr. P. Heinsberger Announces His Inten tion of Printing Such a Publication.

Mr. Heinsberger, in his formal an nouncement says that the price of his publication will be only $1.50 and not $3.00 as has been charged in years past.
