The most elaborate and thoroughly brilliant complimentary reception aud dance, possibly two or three club functions excepted, which has dis tinguished the 1899 season on Wrights ville Beach was that last night ten dered more than one hundred and fifty friends complimentary to Miss Nannie Clark and Miss Sue Clark of Tarboro, by Miss Mabel Powers, the talented daughter of Mr. E. J. Powers of this city. The invitations were issued about a week ago and Wilmington society and many visitors both in the city and on the Beach had been since the issuance of the invitations most pleasantly anticipating the event. Attached to the regular 7.15 train yesterday evening were' two special coaches chartered especially for Miss Powers' guests from Wilmington and they well filled with a merry company of the foremost young people of the city. The reception was held in the com modious and well appointed Powers cottage, and was in progress for pos sibly two hours after the arrival of the train. The cottage apartments were brilliantly lighted and tastefully deco rated, notable features being Japanese lanterns and buntings. Miss Powers was gracefully assisted in the duties of receiving and enter tainine her numerous guests by the guests of honor, Misses Nannie and Sue Clark and also by Miss Kate Har low e and Messrs Geo. L. Peschan, H.B. Peschau, J. D. Latham and Henry J. McMillan. Immediately after the ceremonies tne merry company repaired to the spacious club house of the Atlantic Yacht Club only a few doors above the Pow ers cottage where a delightful dance was held. The club house was deco rated very similar to the cottage and a good band of music was on hand and discoursed excellent music. About midnight there was an inter mission, during which the guests re turned to the Powers cottage and partook of delicious refreshments, served in thorough keeping with other elegant features of the occasion. It was three o'clock this morning when the company of delighted guests bade their charming hostess good night, averring, one and all, that it would be impossible to add one iota to the delightfulness of their entertain ment.

Me COTTON MILL CONSTRUCTION. Satisfactory Progress On Delrado Mill Bnildinf s Excellent Drainage Sys tem Throughout the Locality. Work on the Delgado cotton mill, Wilmington's new $250,000 enter prise, is- progressing very satisfac torily, so say Messrs. Zachary & Zachary, the contractors. The walls of the main building will soon be up read v for the roof and the construction of toe cottages for mill operatives is being pushed with considerably alac rity. The erection of the smaller mill buildings, such as engine and boiler rooms, the dye house, the ware- nouse, etc., will be commenced very soon. The buildings will no doubt be ready for placing the machinery by the early Fall and the thousands of spindles will be running on full time not later than the new year. President E. C. Holt has had a large force of laborers at work the past several weeks digging a system of drainage throughout the district oc cupied by the mills and the mill ope ratives' cottages, so that there will be thorough drainage, the healthfulness of the locality being thereby greatly enhanced. MR. WILLIAMS ENTERTAINS. Melon Party Complimentary to Misses Wilson and Bumgardener at Sea shore Hotel Last Night. Mr. John K. Williams gave a very enjoyable watermelon party last night at Seashore Hotel, Wrightsville Beach, complimentary to Miss Wilson, of Charlotte, and Miss India Bumgard ener, of Virginia.

The Wilmington boys are practicing hard for the coming game with Max- ton to be played here Saturday. Man -ager Sinclair received a letter from Manager McKinnon yesterday stating that he would be on hand, and that he was rallying his forces. Max ton has a first-class team and with the new addi tions it will no doubt be a strong one. The Wilmington team will be chosen from the following players: Brunson, Alston, Jones (E ), Genaust, Schutte, Zellers, Orrell, Jones (B.), McLaurin, Morton and Pennington. The last named has played with Tarboro this sea son. JJupree and mser win. ao tne twirling for Wilmington. The players are all requested to attend practices in order to make the team.

The Lumberton Robtsonian has the following to say of "Parson" Rob. Robinson, a well known negro char acter about the city, who created a scene in the police court by dropping on his knees and praying in open court before which he was arraigned, a day or two before his departure from Wilmington: "A warrant was! issued by CoL T. F. Toon Monday for the arrest of Rob Robinson, upon the charge of an assault with intent to commit rape upon Hattie Pope, both parties col ored. Robinson is a preacher, being from Wilmington, it is said, and had been here several weeks working on the railroad. Deputy Sheriff Wishart went out to the came to arrest turn Mondav afternoon bat failed. Robin son heard of his coming and before the officer could put eyes on him made off through the woods and got away." To Carolina Beach. Captain Harper, of the steamer Wil mington, announces a moon-light ex cursion to Carolina Beach to-night, the boat leaving the Market street wharf at 7.30 o'clock and arriving back to the city at 11 o'clock. On the beach there will be a dance at Oceanic Hotel and a minstrel show in the public pavilion. nri THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS The District Committeemen Pre paring for Opening of the 1899-1900 Term. JACULTIES FOR NEXT YEAR. All Teachers In White Schools Re-elected. Four or Five Changes in Teachers for Negro Schools Some Build ing Improvements. The committeemen charged with the management of the Wilmington Pub lic Schools are devoting much time and careful consideration to the mat ter of preparation for opening the 1899- 1900 term on October 9 th. At a recent joint meeting of the committees of Districts Nos .l and 2, Mr. Jas. F. Post Jr. chairman of the former and Mr. Ja?. H. Chadbourn, of the latter, all the teachers who did service in the schools for white children last year were re elected. The election of negro teachers was also held and possibly five changes made. There is one vacancy in the negro schools still to be filled. Notices of re-election have been forwarded to all the teachers at the various places throughout the country where they are spending their vacation. Ac ceptances have already been received from a large majority of them. The only changes made in the fac ulty of the several schools for white children are in the changing of a very few teachers from one grade to an other. In some instances, not many. though, teachers have been advanced with their classes taught last year. The Stab announced, it will be re membered, some days ago the re-election of Superintendent Jno. J. Blair. So that there will be practically no changes in the management of the schools, which has been, thanks to the school committees, Superintendent Blair and the capable faculty, emi nently satisfactory. The school committees are planning considerable improvement in several of the school buildings. Action will be taken in the near future looking to the immediate inauguration of these improvements. It is probable, in fact practically settled, that considerable changes and a slight enlargement will be made in the Hemenway building. A new heating aparatus will be placed in the Union school to take the place of the one which was ruined by the severe freeze during the early spring of this year. The Peabody school building for negroes is also to ba considerably im proved. Altogether upwards of $1,000 is most probably to be expended in school building improvements. As previously intimated, all these matters are to be definitely acted upon at a joint meeting of the committees soon to be held. There-production of the names of the committeemen will not be amiss in this connection. They are as follows: District No. 1 Mr. Jas. F. Post. Jr., (chairman), Mr. R J. Jones and Mr. E. Borden. District No. 2 Mr. Jas. H. Chad bourn, Sr., (chairman), Capt. W. R, Kenan and Mr. Samuel Northrop. RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS.

Judge Brown this morning sent to the clerk of court of this county his decision in the Abbott-Beddingfield case for the office of Railroad Commis sioner. He renders judgment in favor of Beddingfield, and taxes Abbott with the costs. Abbott appeals to the (Su preme Court. After statement of the case, the court orders and adjudges as follows "First That the office of Railroad Commissioner formerly held by the plaintiff's relator. D. H. Abbott, was abolished by chapter 506 of the Public Laws of 1899, and that the said D. U. Abbott lost his interest therein. Second. That the office of Corpo ration Commissioner is an office sepa rate and distinct from the office of Railroad Commissioner; that it was created by an Act of the ueneral As sembly of 1899 and filled by tbe elec tion of the defendant thereto; and that the defendant, E.

Mr. Claudius is his father's at torney, and he has associated with him Messrs. Dudley & Michener, the Republican lawyers who conduct so many contests for defeated candidates of their party. They filed their brief with the Clerk of tne House to-day. Mr. Bellamy's counsel is understood to be Mr. Charles Busbee, of Raleigh. He will doubtless file a rejoinder at an early day. It is stated by Republicans that a strong effort will be made in the next Congress to unseat Bellamy and Judge Rhea, of the Ninth Virginia District, whose seat is contested by General James A. Walker (Republican), who was the member from the Ninth Dis trict in the Fifty-fifth Congress. LIST OF LETTERS. Remaining Uncalled Por in the Wilming ton Postoffice July 13tb, 1899. WOMEN'S LIST.
