MAY ESTABLISH QUARANTINE Aralost Hamptoa, Norfolk aad Adjaceat Towns To-day Officers W1IJ meet All Iflcomiat Trails and Strict Vlrllince Will Prevail. The announcement in the Monday editions of the Southern napers that thirty cases of yellow fever had de veloped at the National Soldiers' Home, about one mile from Hampton, Va., a short distance from Norfolk, caused some excitement in the city yesterday morning, which increased towards nightfall when people began more fully to realize the gravity of the situation. Dr. C. P. Wertenbaker, surgeon in charge of the Marine Hospital here, received a telegram from Washington early in the morning ordering him to Hampton, bat the message did not in timate the nature of the trouble and no information could be secured from him further than that told in Sunday night's press dispatches. He left on the 7 o'clock A. C. L. train last even ing for the scene of the contagion. Yesterday afternoon when the news of the outbreak became general and all doubts as to the truthfulness of the rumors were removed. Mayor Waddell had a conference with Dr. McMillan, superintendent of health, relative (o the situation and Capt Robt. Green, chief quarantine officer, was dispatched to the depot to look out for suspected passengers from the infected district on the incoming afternoon and even ing trains. No quarantine as yet has been ordered, but Capt Green, with a detail of policemen, will meet each train to-day, and it is very likely that before night Wilmington will estab lish a rigid quarantine against all places adjacent to Hampton. Mayor Waddell, chairman of the Board of Health, said last night that the utmost visrilance would be used until a formal quarantine is declared, which, in all probability, would be done to-day. No serious fears of an outbreak in Wilmington are entertained, but it is the disposition of the health authorities to leave no stone unturned to prevent so serious a calamity. The latest news from the infected district is given in the telegraphic columns of the Stab this morning. INTERESTING DECISION. Justice Powler Holds That Officer! Not ia Actual Discharxe of Doty Cansot Carry Pistols. An interesting case waa decided ia Justice Fowler's court yesterday with reference to the right of officers of the law to carry firearms or other con cealed deadly weapons, when not in the actual discharge of the duties of their offices. The decision was given in a case tried several days ago in which B. M. Lehue, night watchman at the Sea coast depot and aworn in by the city as a special policeman as such, was indicted by the owner of a dog which was shot by the officer on a street re mote from the Seacoast depot. Justice Fowler held that the officer, in carrying the pistol with which the dog was shot, was not in the actual discharge of his duties at the time, being at a distance from his post of duty. The violation is of Section 1,005 of the North Carolina Code, which provides that deadly weapons may be carried by officers of the law only. when exercising the functions of office and when in the actual discharge of duty. Lehue gave bond in the sum of $50 with F. T. Skipper as surety for his ap pearance at the Criminal Court to an swer the charge of carrying concealed weapons. He was also fined $10 for killing the dog. Other cases tried by Justice Fowler were: Mary Jones, colored, perjury; malicious prosecution and prosecutor, George FrankKn, colored, required to pay the costs. George Franklin, col ored, disorderly conduct; judgment suspended. Jno. Outlaw, colored, as sault; not guilty and discharged. Harbor Master's Report. The report for July of Capt Ed ear D.

One of the most interesing and i m portant meetings held by the Wilming ton Young Men's Christian Associa tion in many months was that last night, in which a large number of the active membership were the par ticipants, notable features of the meet ing being action regarding the issu ance of complimentary membership tickets for a limited period of time. The suspension of the initiation fee of $2.00 for a period of seventy-five days, the discussion of various other matters followed by a delightful social' season during which a formal welcome was given Prof. J. H Hanby and Mr. H. O. Kight, and ice cream and other refreshments were served as a compliment from Mrs. Fans of the Palace Bakery and from the Warren Bakery. President Jno. Frank presided over the active membership meeting and conducted devotional exercises. Near ly all the regular committees made reports which indicated, as a promi nent membe expressed it, "that the association is in a better condition along all lines than for three years past" There was a very general dis cussion of points of interest brought out by the reports, after which six ap plicants for membership were elected. It waa decided by a large majority vote of the active membership present that the initiation fee of $2 be sus pended for a term of seventy-five days and thai complimentary association membership tickets for. the month of August be given out through a special committee. Remarks of much inter est to their hearers were made by Mr. B. F. Hall, Dr. W. C. .Galloway, Prof. D. H. Harnley, Mr. W. L. Latta and others. After the adjournment of the busi ness meeting the company adjourned to the reception room, where with Mr. Latta as master of ceremonies, an hour was most pleasantly spent. Mr. Andrew J. Howell, Jr., was called upon to express a welcome to Prof. J. H. Harnley, who is here to take charge of the school of busi ness in the association building, and Mr. H. O.' Kight, the newly elected physical director. Mr. Howell per formed the pleasant duty quite appro priately and Messrs Harnley and Kight made brief remarks, expres sing gratitude for their cordial welcome and referring pointedly to the work before them. Mr. W. L. rjatta, in a very jovial way, referred to the Star Course of entertainments, the preparation for which devolves largely upon him as chairman of the committee. There were pleasant re maris by Dr. W. C. Galloway, and very forcible expressions of impressions of the T. M. C. A. work here by Mr. D. H Harnley. A vote of thanks wa tendered for the refreshments which were served, and the evening festivities were brought to a close with a general in formal handshaking. It is expected that a similar meeting will be held next month. OFF FOR THB CONVENTION. Several Members of the Wilmiartoa Fire Departmeat Go to Qreeasboro.

O. Read advertisement in the Stab. t I I A NEW POSTMASTER. Will Certainly be Appointed to Succeed Mr. Wm. H. Chadbourn. OTHER CHANGES TO BE MADE Assistant Postmaster Wallace Says He Will Receive a Custom House Ap pointment Diversity of Opinion As to PostmastersBip. It can be stated on authority that cannot be doubted that Wilmington will have a new postmaster. The ap-' pointment may be within a week, it may be ten days, and it is possible that three weeks or a month may elapse be fore the change is made, but certainly not longer than that time, and most probably only a few days. The present postmaster, Mr. W. H. Chadbourn, continues, as. he expresses it, to "say nothing and saw wood." But that he will retire from the post mastership, and that very soon, is cer tainly settled, his resignation being in the Postoffice Department at Wash ington and the selection of his suc cessor only a question of time. As to the grounds on which Mr. Onadbourn's enemies have compassed his overthrow nothing definite is known outside of official circles save that technically, as stated in the Stab some days ago, they are some trivial irregularities in attaining the advance ment of the Wilmington postoffice from the second to the first class, and literally and by far. most especi ally, because he wrote during the memorable 1898 campaign, a letter to Senator Pritchard in which he gave a true statement of the terrible condi tion of affairs here under the corrupt Republican negro regime and advised the Republican party to make no ef fort to elect a county or city ticket and let the Democrats take complete control of public affairs. As previously stated the matter has been taken up : recently by State Chairman E. A. Holton of the Republican Executive Committee, Gov. Russell and certain other Re publicans in this State, but nothing could well be done until some sham charges could be trumped up which they managed to do in the case of the postoffice advancement from second to first class. The people-, will await with intense interest the appointment of Mr. Chad bourn's successor. When this is done it is certain there will be several changes in the clerical I force and that Assistant Postmaster T. E. Wallace will retire. Mr. Wallace told a mem-; ber of the Stab staff yesterday that he is already slated for the position in the custom house recently j vacated by F. B. Rice and has every assurance of the appointment. That he will retire from the postoffice is settled Mr. Wm. Struthers is spoken of as his successor. However, that cannot be settled until the new postmaster is named. - As to the probable appointee to the postmastership there seems kr be a diversity of opinion, or rather every one seems to be at sea. It is the gen eral verdict, however, that it will not be G. Z. French, for the reason that he is sufficiently aware of the temper of the white people . of Wilmington to know that it would not do for him to return to this city even with a United States commission iajiis pocket. PREPARING FOR BASE BALL. Practices by tbe Athletic Association Now Bexan In Earnest. , The clans are gathering for the in aaguration of the new era in Wil mington base ball by the recently or ganized Wilmington Athletic Associa tion.

The association directors met yester day and issued certificates of stock. Negotiations are pending for games here next week between Charlotte and Wilmington, and on the week follow ing between Concord and Wilming ton. m A Valued Present Justice McGowan received through the mail yesterday a present which he very highly values. It is a hand some cloth bound volume of the life of the lamented Senator Vance, writ ten by his colleague and former law partner, Hon. Clement Dowdof Char lotte, N. C. It was presented to Capt. McGowan by Mr. Charles N. Vance, a son of the departed statesman, who recently paid a visit to Wilmington, and upon the fly-leaf of the book is written: 'To Capt. James M. Mc Gowan, my father's old friend. I present this book with my compli ments. Charles N. Vance, Washing ton, D. C, July 29th, 1899." Died Suddenly Yesterday. Mr. Jacob Corbett, who resides near' corner Fourth and Wooster streets, died suddenly while at dinner yesterday about 2 o'clock. The de cedent has been a sufferer with ' heart failure for some time and to thia fatal disease is attributable his sudden demise yesterday. He leaves a wife, one son, Wesley H. Corbett and a daughter Mrs. Celestia Taylor, who mourn their loss. The funeral will be from the residence thia afternoon . at 4 o'clock by Rev. F. H. Farrington, and the interment will be at Belleyue cemetery. WHOLE NO. 9,970 CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT. Report of Superintendent for July Resig nation of Inspector Bowden Scav enger Ordinance in Effect Today. The reading of the monthly report of Dr. W. D. McMillan, Superinten dent of. Health, and the acceptance of the resignation of Mr. W. B. Bowden, as Health Inspector, was the chief business transacted at yes terday afternoon's regular meeting of the Board of Health. Present at the meeting were Capt. W. R. Kenan, Dr. Geo. G. Thomas, Dr. F. EL Russell and Dr. W. D. Mc Millan. Health. Inspector Bowdetl resigned his office to take a position with Mr. F. T. Mills, the liveryman and horse dealer, corner Second and Princess streets. His successor has not yet been appointed, but the board at yes terday afternoon's session empowered the Superintendent of Health to select and recommend to the Sanitary Com mittee such person as he may think proper to fill the vacancy. This selection has been made and when confirmed by the Sanitary Committee will be announced to" the public. Tbe report of the Superintendent for the month shows deaths as follows: 8 white males; 3 white females; 9 col ored males; 18 colored females. Total white deaths, 11 ; total colored deaths. 27.

Hitherto the city has received no revenue from this source and the work has been carried on indiscriminately, in some cases by irresponsible parties. The Sanitary Committee of the Board of. Alderman, of which Alderman Mac Rae is chairman, first conceived the idea of deriving revenue in this way and placing the entire workings of same under the supervision of the Superintendent of Health.
