Sack tbe Order of Stockholders of Eastern wrouaa Track tad Frail drawers AmocIsUos SUtas of Car Ser vice aad Prelfht Rates. The awarding of the contract tni th refrigerator car service for mar ke tin? ajtw crop or strawberries, yegeU bles and other truck, as well as the ad justment of freight rates, two matters wmcn nave been a knotty problem for the stockholders of the Eastern O.ro. Una Truck and Fruit Growers Asso-' ciation the past seyeral weeks, has been delegated to the board of direc tors with absolute power to act. This action was taken at a me tine held yesterday afternoon, and it is expected that the directors will have finally settled both matters by August 9th, when the stockholders are to meet again in adjourned session. The meeting yesterday was lar?elv attended. The first session was from noon until 2 o'clock. They adjourned for dinner and re-assembled at S o'clock, remaining in session until past 6 o'clock, so late that a number of the stockholders who had intended to leave on the 7 o'clock trains were forced to remain in the city last night, waiting for the outgoing trains this morning. In the matter of the refrigerator'car service, as previously stated, there are I three companies bidding for the con tract, the a F. T., a F. X and Ar mour companies. It is understood that the a F. T. Co., the contractors for the past several seasons, has the lowest bid. The a F. X. Company also has a very tempting bid, so say many of the truckers. A number are also in clined favorably to the Armour Com pany who in their bid obligate them selves to erect ice factories for icing ears at various railroad points in the trucking belt thereby removing the necessity of having to ice all the cars in Wilmington. Several truckers expressed the opinion yesterday that in case either the C. F. T. or the C. F. X. Company, was awarded the contract for the refrigerator car service the other company would be admitted to a share of the .business, an agreement having already been made to that effect.. Announcement was made yesterday to the stockholders that the Atlantic Coast Line and their connections had made a rate of 50 cents per crate in car load lots, and 55 cents per crate in less than car-load lots for strawberries from Wilmington to New York city, all other hauls to be estimated with this rate as a basis. This rate is 12 cents less per crate on less than car-load lots than the 1899 rate, and 17 cents per crate leas on car-load lots than the 1899 rate. While this reduction is Very gratify- ing to tne trucxers, sua mey ciaim that they are at a disadvantage as com pared with competing points, several of which have, even yet, much lower rates and can thereby realize much larger profits on their berries. The Board of Directors will make -rigorous efforts to get a still greater reduction of rates and make a final re port to the stockholders at their special meeting August 9th. Back From Morehead. Private Sam'l Hall, Jr., of the Wil mington Light Infantry, returned yesterday from the encampment at Morehead City as a detail to escort home private H. A. Huggins, also of the W. L. L, who was too unwell to remain in camp longer, he having been taken ill shortly after the com pany's arrival at Morehead. His con dition is not serious- but Capt White thought it best that he should return, in case he grew worse. Private Hall talks interestingly of the encampment and tells about the same story as to k. mnntmnt of the camp at first. at was outlined by the Stab's special Anrreanondent in camp there, lie says that now, however, the camp is .nondidlv managed and the Doys are enjoying their stay at Morehead rWw .Yesterday afternoon, ne said, the Governor was scheduled to be present to review the troops.

This will be followed by delightful dances at both the Carolina and Atlantic club houses, the dancing continuing until 11 o'clock, when the last train leaves for the city. The details as to the arrangements for the races so far as they have been completed were published in y ester" day's Stab. The boats will not be entered until to-day, nor can the names of the ladies who will sail the various " yachts be ascertained until then. Reference was made yesterday to the handsome prizes, first and sec ond, which have been purchased. They have been procured from Mr. Georce Honnett. the up-to-date Front street jeweler, in whose show window they are now on exhibition. Both Carolina and Atlantic Ulubs have made ample arrangements for delightful frolics. As usual the music for the Atlantic club dance will be by the Baltimore Italian Band.

PROMISE REDEMPTION TO-DAY Fatlfje of Aberdeen Boys Probable Caase of Their Failare Yesterday Score 22 to 10 The Une-Up for Yes terday's Game. Every one who attended yesterday afternoon says that the slowest game of base ball seen on the Hilton Park diamond in several seasons was that between the Aberdeen and Wilming ton teams at 4.30 o'clock, and if any farther evidefloe as to th "rottenness? of the game were desired, the score, 22 to 10 in favor of Wilmington (there were but eight innings either) need only be stated to convince the most doubting reader. There are several theories as . to the cause of the poor game, one of the most plausible of which is that the Aberdeen boys were completely broken downTy their long ride on a crowded excursion train and that they ar rived in Wilmington late and did not have time to even get dinner be fore the game was called and, were therefore in every way disqualified for playing good ball and being in any way a match for the Wilmington team who went on their home dia mond fresh and eager for hot ball. People familiar with the regular everyday merits of the Aberdeeen team say that they are capable under anything like favorable conditions of puting up good ball and have won the best two out of three games with al most every team of any consequence in their section of the country. During the game Wilmington made no effort whatever to put up a good game, they having discovered from the very first inning that the Aberdeen boys, at least, in the condition they were then, were no match whatever for them. Wilmington scored eleven runs in the first inning, and then did not avail themselves of all their oppor tunities for scoring, because they wanted to give Aberdeen all the show possible to even up the score reason ably close as a drawing card for the game to-day. Aberdeen scored three in the first inning, eight in the third and two in the fifth. Wilmington made her score four teen in the second inning, managed to keep from making a score in either of the three next innings, added five runs in the sixth and respectively one and two in the seventh and eighth innings. The following was the line-up for yesterday's game : Wilmington. Aberdeen. Zellers c Foley Schutte lb Clark Alston 2 b Parker Orrell s s Junge Hatch c f Greyer McLau rin 3 b Goodwin Davis 1 f Stewart Sanders r f Adams Watson p Crocker The game this afternoon will be called at 3 30 o'clock. Brunson, the invincible, will 4twirl the sphere" for Wilmington, and Aberdeen will be strengthened by Sweeney, of Wil mington, who will do the box work for them. The excursion train from Marion this afternoon is expected to bring sev eral strong players, two or three of whom will also be added to the Aber deen team. B. Jones, Sinclair and sev eral others of Wilmington's best play ers will go to strengthen Wilmington's playing force. Chinaman ia Trouble. Sam Lee, a Market street Chinese laundryman, was arrested by Health Officer Hirschbaum yesterday morn ing for cruelty to animals. Some one informed Mr. Kirschbaum that if he would go to the lot in the rear of the laundry he would find something that would probably interest him as an of ficer of the law. Acting under these instructions he went in the rear of Lee's place and discovered two kittens in a barrel of hot ashes, one of them being dead and the second almost burned to death. After rescuing the half dead feline Officer Kirschbaum carried Lee before Mayor Waddell, who recognised him in the sum of (50 for his appearance at the munici pal court this morning at 9.30 o'clock to answer the charge preferred against him. The Chinaman claims that one of the kittens was dead when placed in the barrel, and that tbe other kitten rolled into the barrel of its own ac cord. . Sonthslde Excursion. Nearly three hundred people went to Carolina Beach on the Southsade Baptist Sunday school excursion yes terday, returning at 7 o'clock last evening after a most delightful day the seashore. The weather was just the kind for an excursion and the day passed off without the slightest acci dent to mar the pleasure of the day. The affair reflects much credit upon the committee under whose manage ment the excursion was giyen. Death of Mr. Bnmpass. Mr. Robah Bumpass. son of Rev. R F. Bumpass. of this city, died at half -past one o'clock this morning, at the residence of his father, aged ZZ -rears. The remains will be" taken to Durham to-day for interment there. Mr. Bumpass had been sick -several weeks with typhoid f eyer.

Delegates Have Been Elected From Differ ent Companies of Wilmlnxtoa's Paid Department. The various fire companies compos ing the Wilmington Fire Department have now about decided upon whom they will send to represent them at the meeting of the State Firemen's As sociation to be held at Greensboro August 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and all en ergy is now being concentrated in making arrangements for the dele gates elected to attend. Laddermen R. M. Cain, P. N. Fick, as delegates, and Assistant Chief W. P. Monroe, as a "delegate at large," will probably attend from Hook and Ladder Company No. 1; Foreman B. R. Russell and Assistant Foreman H. . It.. Peterson, as delegates, and Firemen J. E. Hoar and" J: H.' Mohr, as alternates, have been elected from Engine Company No. 1.; Foreman W. A. Canady and Supt of Alarm John T. Yates, have been named from Engine Company No. 2, and Hose man Louis Freimulh has been chosen as a representative from Hose Wagon Company No. 3. As has been frequently stated in the Star, Assistant Chief Monroe is mak ing every effort possible to secure the next meeting of the Association for Wilmington, and in conversation last night he said that he felt much en couraged at the prospects of securing sufficient subscriptions for the prizes. He already has $700 in sight, but a still larger sum is needed to guarantee an invitation to the Association to meet at Wilmington. He says that many obsticles have kjti encountered du ring his canvass, and that in many in stances there has been that lack of city and State pride on the part of some of Wilmington's business men that was naturally discouraging, but in many other cases citizens have responded liberally and manifested some measure of enthusiasm at the prospects of the meeting of the Association here. He will be "on the rounds" again to-day and to-morrow and throughout the week, and it is sincerely desired that he may meet with that degree of en couragement which the movement merits. Charred With Larceny. Deputy Sheriffs Hill Terry and Pat Flynn yesterday arrested a young ne gro named Eugene Nixon, near the market house, on a warrant charging him with the theft of a gold watch from Mr. T. G. Landin, foreman for Mr. Vollers, the contractor. The Star mentioned several days ago tbeJ stealing of the watch from the vest of Mr. Landin at an incompleted dwel ling house being erected on Fifth be tween Market and Dock streets and that it was supposed at the time to have been stolen by a negro seen loitering around the building for some time. The negro arrested yesterday is charged with the theft and has been identified by one of the workmen as the negro who was seen about the house on the day the watch was stolen. He was committed to jail to await an in vestigation of his case before Justice McGowan this morning at 10 o'clock. The negro stoutly contends that he is innocent of the charge and knows nothing of they watch. The fact that he is a fisherman and that a lot of fishing tackle was found on the scene of the theft is urged as circumstantial evidence against Nixon. Rev. E. S. Alderman. , The Star takes pleasure in copying from the Baptist Argus of Louisville, Ky., the following in regard to the commencement exercises of Bethel College, Russell ville, Ky., of which Rev. E. S.Alderman, a native of this city and son of our esteemed towns man and aged citizen, Alfred Alder man, Esq., is President: The trustees endorsed with great heartiness the work of the past year and accepted all of his plans for the future, and enlarged the scope of his work. They passed a resolution giv ing to him the president's home and an increased salary if he can see his way to give up his care of the church and devote all of his time to the col lege. The presidents of our Southern Baptist colleges are a body of uncom monly able, well equipped, enlight ened scholars and administrators, but in my opinion Dr. E. S. Alderman, of Bethel College, Russellviile, easily stands among the foremost. Was Only Smoking Mosquitoes. Smoking musquitoes out of the house was the cause of the fire alarm turned in from box 26 at 10:24 o'clock last night. A negro woman by the name of Mary Loftin occupies a little cottage on Red Cross street, between Second and Third, owned by Mrs. C. P. Mebane. She reported to the Fire Department that musquitoes were un usually vicious last night and while -" . i i sue was Durning a quantity ox rags, etc., to-sunve them out, some one in passing saw the smoke, presumed the house was on fire and turned in the alarm. The Coolest Place. For the twenty-four hours ending at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, the fol lowing record of the maximum tem perature at different points in the Wil mington district of the Weather Bu reau service has been made: Wilmington, 86; Charlotte, 94; Che raw. 98: Florence. 94: Goldsboro, 90; Greensboro, 89; Lumberton, 90; New born, 91; Raleigh, 90; Weldon, 88.

A New Deal Proposed Pritchard to be Judre of the Western District Rey nolds to be Qovernor Ewart Clerk of Federal Court. . Special Star Telegram.' Raleigh, N. C, July 20. Strange things are happening here to night. Governor Russell is giving at the mansion what he calsl an infor mal reception. In reality it is a con ference. To it" were invited Senator Pritchard, who has been on no good terms with his Excellency, Attorney General Walser, who has' not spoken to him these two years except on offi cial business, Chairman Hoi ton, who has never had any love for him, and Postmaster Bailey, who had a quarrel with Russell almost immediately after he was inaugurated. All these are present and others of less pronounced feeling, including Judge Purnell, Col lector Duncan and Wheeler Martin. The object of the conference, as stated by one who was present, was to consult these leaders and gain their consent to the following : Ewart to give up the fight for the judgeship and accept the clerkship to the Federal court at Asheville ; Pritch ard to resign the senatorship and ac cept the Federal judgeship of the West ern district; Russell to resign the gov ernorship, Reynolds to become Gov ernor and appoint Russell Senator. This is the proposition ; whether or not it will be carried out cannot now be stated. Special Star Correspondence. The Asheville bank cases are to day being heard by Judge Purnell. The cases are against Wm. E, Brfese and J. E Dickerson, the defaulting bankers, who were tried this Spring before Judge Purnell at Asheville and sentenced to ten years each in the penitentiary. The argument is now on exceptions by defendants' counsel, making up the case on appeal to the Circuit Court of Appeals. The bill of exceptions contains the whole record that goes up on appeal, and this bill of exceptions is to be fixed by the pre siding judge, who is its final arbiter. The government is represented by A. E Holton and W. P. Bynum and the defendants by Senator Jeter Pritchard and J. S. Adams. It is ex pected that it will take two or three days to go over all the record, as it is very voluminous. The sheriff of Randolph county this morning settled his taxes, paying into the State treasury $10,358.68. State Treasurer Worth to-day re ceived his first bid on the next issue of penitentiary bonds, to be sold August 16th. The bid is made by North Caro lina parties. ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.

The Camp la Much Better Shape and the Regiment Spending the Week More - Pleasantly Than Anticipated. Special Star Correspondence. Camp Wm. E. Shipp, Morehead, N- C, July 19. ) My reference to the condition in which we found the camp when we arrived Saturday night was in no way intended to reflect upon the efficient commander of the camp, Col. W. B. Rodman; in fact, Col. Rodman has done everything to see that the camp is in condition and that the men are well quartered. The line officers of the regiment are profuse in their praise of Col. Rodman, and they say that the Second regiment cannot fail to be the best in the State Guard while it . is commanded by such able officers as Col. W. B., Rodman. and Lieut Col. Wm. A. Johnson. ( Since my last letter the condition of the camp has changed wonderfully, and considering the fact that the Quar termaster General's department failed to get the tents and other baggage here in time, it is in fine shape. The streets are nicely policed daily and the camp at all times presents a neat ap pearance. The tents arrived early Sunday morning and in a very short time the men pitched their tents and the camp was ready for inspection. The Wilmington Light Infantry and the Wilson Light Infantry are "next door neighbors" and the men of the two commands, as Usual, are very friendly. The two W. L. I's, are hard to supas, as is our new friends, the Washington Light Infantry. Lieutenant Nadal, commander of the Wilson company, is every inch a soldier and a thorough gentleman. Captain White and Lieutenant Metts are the "real stuff," and we have heard many very complimentary remarks in regard to them. I The boys of the Wilmington Light Infantry have reorganized "The Staff" with Col. Eugene Forshee in command. The other officers are Lieut CoL J. M. Woodward, Adjutant F. C. Craft and Quarter Master O. A. Wiggins,? Jr. the fun these boys make "is enough." Col. Johnson kindly pre sented the Wilmington boys, with a number of fine watermelons whieh were geatly enjoyed and appreciated by all. Wilmington has always been well represented at headquarters here tofore, and this time the Wilmington boys are proud of the fact that Col. Johnson is the representative of our dear old city. j We expect to break camp Saturday, and although we were disappointed at first, we will be sorry to say good-bye to our comrades and friends.
