YELLOW JACK EXCITEMENT. Has Subsided aad Embargo Oeclsred Only Afalnst Poiats ia Immediate Fever District Three Quarantine Of fleers Pat On Duty. f The Board of Health met yester day afternoon at 1 o'clock, and declared a rigid quarantine against The National Soldiers' Home and Hampton, Old Point Comfort, Phoebus and points adjacent in the infected district as a precau tionary measure. No quarantine was declared against Norfolk from the fact that the board has accurate in formation that the Old Dominion city now has eitablished one of the most effective quarantines in the history of the country, and that she is as proof against an invasion of the disease as Wilmington itself. There are those in the city, however, who contend that a quarantine against Norfolk is a public necessity and that it should be declared at once, as numbers of peo pie are arriving daily from that city. At the meeting yesterday afternoon Mayor Waddell, as chairman, pre sided, and Capt W. R. Kenan, Dra. F. EL Russell, Geo. G. Thomas and Wm. D. McMillan were present Chief Quarantine Officer Green and City Attorney Meares were also prasent. The question was exhaustively dis cussed and it was decided to put the city into the best sanitary condition and to maintain a persistent watch over all incoming passengers. Every train is now met by Quaran tine Officer Green. Policeman H. H. Woebse was yesterday afternoon sent to Rocky Mount to look after all Wil mington bound passengers from that way and Capt O. A. Wiggins left on the W. & N. train earlier in the after noon for Newborn on a similar mis sion. Capt Wiggins has instructions to meet and inspect the passenger baat from Elizabeth City to Newborn in addition to his other duties. This morning Mr. A. J. Hill will be sent to Navassa station across the river, to look out for suspects on the a. A. L. train which arrives daily at 12.05 P. M. BAPTIST YOUNQ PEOPLE'S UNION.

The first of the series of social en tertainments to be given by the Bap tist Young People's Union, of the First Baptist Church, was enjoyed by a large number of Union members and their friends in the Sunday school room of the church last evening. A vocal solo, "Just as the Sun Went Down," was beautifully rendered ' by Miss Nellie Piatt and a piano solo, "West Virginia University March," was played with much effect by Miss May Muse. Other numbers on the programme were omitted in the absence of the president who is away from the city. After some time spent in pleasant social conversation, a watermelon feast was given upstairs in the armory of the Baptist Boys' Brigade, which was one of the most enjoyable fea tures of the evening.

C, WEDNESDAY AUGUST 2, ENTERTAINMENT BY OXFORD ORPHANS. Interesting Programme Excellently Ren dered Last Night Concert Unexpect ed therefore Sllmly Attended. The Oxford Orphan Asylum choir rendered a highly creditable concert in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium last night. It is much to be re greted that there was not a much larger audience to enjoy the admirable en tertainment given tJy the class. How ever, no announcement of the concert was made in the morning papers . for the reason that it was not expected that the orphans would entertain here during this trip, their special mission having been to entertain at South port which they did Monday night They were to have left - for Scotland Neck yesterday morning but arrived from South port too late to catch the train. It was for this reason that it was decided to give a concert at the auditorium, and hand bills were sent over the city during the after noon making the announcement. The time being so short and the announce ment so meager, 'there were probably not more than fifty people in attend ance. They, however, weredelight fully entertained. The programme consisted of cho ruses, solos, duets, trios, etc., inter spersed with recitations. Every num ber was snappy and rendered in good style. The following children compose the orphan choir : Girls Lillie Williams, Neva Ausbon, Vivian, Foy, Velma Pope, Ethel King, Vera Turner, Katie Fleming, Sadie Flora, Timah Renno, Fannie Knight Boys Sam Barbee, Honda Pope, Harry Barbee. They are under the supervision of Will X. Coley, of the Orphan's Friend and will leave for Scotland Neck this morning where they enter tain to-night 2ND REGIMENT BAND CONCERT. To be Given at the New Ocean View Hotel To-night Mrs. Mayo, proprietress of the pop ular new Ocean View Hotel, Wrights ville Beach, has arranged for her nu merous guests and many friends in the city and on the Beach to enjoy another delightful concert by the Second Regiment Band. It will be given to-night beginning promptly at 8:45 o'clock. The following pro gramme will be observed : March. "Directorate" Sousa; waltz, "On the Rhine," Strauss; song and dance, "Sweet Sixteen," Hpllinson; cake walk, "Rag Time," Buckley; song, "Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming," Back; seleotion, "Planta tion Medley," Cauterue; march, "Second Regiment" Willson. AN ELECTRICAL STORM. Lightning Struck at Several Places in the City Yesterday Morning. The dwelling of Mr. J. W. Dicksey, No. 811 South Front street was struck by lightning about 10 o'clock yester day morning and partially demolished. Mr. and Mrs. Dicksey, who were in the house at the time, were stunned by the stroke, but sustained no serious injury. The building was set on fire by lightning, but it was promptly extin guished by Mr. Dicksey without aid of the department. During the same storm yesterday morning, Miss Daisy King, the 15-year-old daughter of Mr. J. M. King, who was at the home of her brother at the corner of Ninth and Queen streets, was badly stunned and burned about the face by a stroke of lightning near where she was standing. Funeral of Mr. Corbett The funeral of Mr. Jacob Corbett, whose sudden demise was noted in yesterday's Stab, was from the late residence on corner of Fourth and Wooster streets yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock, the services being con ducted by Rev. F. H. FarringtoD, pastor of Southside Baptist Church. The hour for the funeral was at first appointed for 4 o'clock, but was changed until the hour named, await ing the arrival of relatives from South port desirous of attending the obse quies. The interment was at Bellevue, the pall bearers being Messrs. E. Hor ton, A. A. Davis, T. W. Grier, J. P. Montgomery and J. F.Littleton. Struck by Lightning. During the thunderstorm yesterday morning, on Ninth street near Justice Borneman's office, lightning struck a tree under which Calvin Kelly and Josephine McFarland, two colored draymen, had driven their vehicles for protection from the storm. The two men were severely shocked by the bolt and their horses were knocked to the ground. The men and horses, how ever, soon recovered, and no serious damage resulted. Lieutenant Miller. At a special meeting of the members of the Wilmington Naval Reserves held in the armory last night Ensign H. L. Miller was elected to the office of Lieutenant, senior grade, command ing the Wilmington division of the Naval battalion, the position having been made vacant by the promotion of Lieutenant Iclllhenny to the office of lieutenant Commander of the First Battalion.

Grady & Co., Burgaw, N. C. NiNG CITY'S QUARANTINE EXPENSE Plenary Power to Act Delegated-ty Board of Floancr4o Chairman McQseea. Meeting Yesterday. Very little business of public in terest was transacted . at the regular meeting of the Board of Audit and Finance yesterday afternoon. The question of the expenses of the quarantine established .yes terday by -the Board of Health against Hampton, the National Soldiers's Home and Old Point Com fort contiguous points to the recent outbreak of yellow fever in Virginia, was discussed at some length and the entire matter referred to Chairman H, C. McQueen with plenary power to act The bid of Mr. W. R. Slocum for the exclusive right to conduct scav enger work in the city was approved, and bis bond: a certified check of $400 with deposit book from the Wilming ton Savings and Trust Company, was presented. While the sure ty was perfectly satisfactory to the board, some slight alterations for the benefit of Mr. Slocum were ordered to be made with the assurance that the same would be formally approved at the next regular meeting. The Board recommended that Mr. Slocum be granted the necessary license and enter upon the work at once. Bills for current expenses to the amount of $4,339.70 were audited and approved. Mr. H. C. McQueen, the chairman, presided at the meeting and members present were Mr. W. A. Riacb, Mr. Jesse Wilder, and Mr. C. W. Yates. The obliging clerk, Capt Jno. Cowan, as usual was at his post ' EXCURSIONISTS HERE YESTERDAY. Parties From Up W. & W. and S. A. L. Railroads Spent a Day at Beaches. Yesterday was not an ideal day for an excursion, but notwithstanding the heavy downpour of rain which fell at intervals during the day, two of the largest excursions of the season ar rived in the city. The first to arrive was from Mount Olive and points along the Wilming ton and Weldon Railroad. It was under the management of the popular Hatch Bros., of Mouut Olive, and came down at 9 o'clock. There were about 400 persons in the party, most of whom went out to sea on a special trip by the steamer Wilmington. Others spent the day in the city and at Wrightsville, returning at 8 o'clock last night. About 750 persons came down on the Sunday school excursion from Rockingham over the Seaboard Air Line at 10.30 o'clock yesterday morn ing. The entire party were carried to Wrightsville Beach on the same train immediately upon tfteir arrival here. The party returned last night The game of base ball between the Rockingham and Laurinburg teams did not materialize on account of rain. CAPT. QANN0N IS OUT. Was Succeeded in Office Yesterday by Mr. Fred Rice, of Wilmington. Charleston News and Courier.' Capt W. H. Gannon, who has for years held the responsible and impor tant position of inspector of hulls for the United States in' the district em bracing North and South Carolina, yesterday gave up his keys and pavers to Mr. Fred Rice, of Wilmington, N. C. He came, with District Inspec tor Oast and upon presenting full cre dentials Capt Gannon yielded a trust which he has faithfully kept to the betterment of the marine service and the credit of the Government which he served. There is no charge on file against Capt Gannon, and his removal is simply a piece of political jobbery, made possible by the recent act of President McKinley in regard to the civil service. Capt Gannon is a thoroughly competent officer, and had the respect and confidence of all who knew him, but unfortunately for him he chose to believe in Democracy and was not afraid to say so. His suc cessor is a Republican, and is said to have taken quite a prominent part in the recent campaign in North Caro lina. BY RIVER AND RAIL. Receipts of Naval Stores and Cotton Yesterday. W. & W.

It will be presented to others for signatures to day. It is a strongly written docu ment, and conveys the idea that the appointment of French will not be tolerated by the people here. Maxton-Charlotte Oame. Charlotte News : The Maxton-Char-lotte baseball alliance was too much for Wilmington. The game Saturday resulted in the defeat of the Wilming ton team by a score of 8 to 4.

FULL OF BERRY CRATES. Trouble With Hydrant and Late Alarm Gave Flames Headway About $ 1,000 Damage, Partially Covered by ; Insurance Injured Firemen. More than $1,000 damage was done at the plant of; the Hilton Lumber Company, (Parsley's mill,) near Hil ton Park yesterday afternoon by a fire which started presumably from spon taneous combustion, about 4 o'clock. Two long shedsj containing probably 10,000 strawberry crates were partially destroyed. Possibly a one-fourth sec tion of each building was saved from the flames through the strenuous and well directed efforts of the Fire De partment. The alarm was sent in from Box 15 at 4.45 o'clock, so that the fire had fully 40 minutes the start of the fire men. In a very short time, however, the long distance from fire stations considered, the fire apparatus was on the scene aud the firemen were work ing manfully to get water connection. The hydrant near the burning ware houses was broken open before the firemen arrived and very little pres sure could be gotten. They were forced to connect the engine with the hydrant corner Fourth and Taylor streets, and it required 1,000 feet of hose to reach the fire. Another 1,000 feet was used in getting a second stream of water from a hydrant in tho mill yard some distance from where the warehouses were located. All this of course required some time and excessive work for the firemen; the flames in the meantime raging fiercely attained great volume. The heat was so intense that several firemen were repeatedly overcome. Some fell in faints and were taken away and re suscitated. They were plucky, how ever, and soon returned to their posts. In fighting the flames it became necessary for the firemen to take very dangerous positions and hold them for considerable periods of time. The men, however, went wherever Capt. Monroe, acting chief, ordered them, and he only asked them to follow where he led. j A right serious accident befell Mr. J. J. Bland, of Hose v Company No. 3, he having fell and struck his ear against a nozzle. At the same time he stuck two nails in his back, having fallen, upon them. He was carried to his home, near the corner of Fourth and Campbell streets, where Dr. Schonwald dressed his wounds. At midnight he was resting easy and no serious results are anticipated. It was 6 o'clock when the fire was gotten under control, and it was 10 o'clock last night before the firemen returned to their stations in the city, pronouncing the fire all out The loss by reason of the sheds and the berry crates is at least partially covered by insurance with Messrs. Willard& Giles.) NOT FRIENDLY TO FRENCH. Attorney Lockey Do the Sentiment t)f Wilmington Toward New Postmaster. Washington Post. The special to the Post from Raleigh, N. C, regarding the resignation of William H. Chadbourn from the post mastership of Wilmington, N. C, and the probability of his being succeeded by George Z. French, published Satur day morning, has created quite a sen sation among the North Carolinians now in the city. Mr. C. P. Lockey, a member of the District bar, and a for mer resident of Wilmington, yester day stated his opinion concerning the situation at his old home, and especially the postmastership. "I was not surprised," said Mr. Lockey, "to hear that Chadbourn had resigned, but it is inconceivable to me that any one should think of French as his successor. In the first place, unless the law has been re cently changed, French is ineligible. He is not a patron of the Wilmington office, does not deposit his mail or re ceive it there. He resides in Pender county, and his postoffice is at Rocky Point about fourteen miles from Wil mington. "Moreover, he is old, in the neigh borhood of seventy, and when I saw him last he was very feeble. He was an applicant for the office when Chadbourn was appointed, but was turned down by Senator Pritchard. At that time he was not the choice of the Republicans, but he was probably as acceptable to the Democrats as the present incumbent. He had practi cally no support except Governor Russell and a few Democratic rail road men." "Would any resentment be shown toward Mr. French if he received the appointment and attempted to return to Wilmington I") Mr. Lockey was asked. : "I am not sure about that. Some of the cooler heads might prevail upon the others to let him alone, but .1 doubt it. The people are practi cally unanimous that he shall not live in Wilmington, and if he returns he must take the consequences." ' Resolution of Thanks. At a meeting of , the board of man agers of the Produce Exchange, held at their rooms yesterday morn ing at 11 o'clock, a resolution thank ing the city officials for their prompt action in establishing strict quarantine against infection from yellow fever now reported at Hampton, Va., was unanimously adopted. Other business transacted at the t meeting was of a routine character and of no interest to the public.
