AGREEABLE SURPRISE
Felt by Cottagers Yesterday
Morning to Find Beach Cot
tages Uninjured
BY THE WIND OR BREAKERS.
Residents and Visitors Returned to Wrights
ville and Carolina Beaches Yesterday.
Little Dsmige and Gratifying
Improvements by Storm.
An agreeable surprise awaited the
many cottagers on Wrightsville and
Carolina Beaches, who abandoned their
cottages Tuesday night and came to
the city for greater security against the
then raging storm, when - they re
turned to their Summer homes "down
by ' the sea" yesterday morning and
found them scarcely the -least bit the
worse for the fierce winds they had
withstood and the raging billows to
the "pitiless peltings" of which they
had been exposed for so many hours.
Indeed the surprise of quite a number
was all the more agreeable for the
reason that they found their property
improved, in that the storm had washed
up additional sand about their cottages,
in several instances to the depth of
three or four feet this too in places
where previous tides of the season bad
been making what was feared would
prove serious inroads upon the beach.
This filling in by the storm is par
ticularly noticeable on Wrightsville
Beach in front of the cottages north
of the Atlantic Yacht Club house.
The most notable points where gains
of this kind were made are the cot
tages of Mr. Clarence C. Livingston,
Col. F. W. Foster, the Shelter of
the Silver Cross, the Sautherland
cottage and others in that vicinity.
The washing out had become rather a
serious matter at several points along
this part of the beach, but now, thanks
to the storm, decided gains have been
made and the cottage owners are
thankful therefor.
On Ocean View.
It cannot be said that any special
damage was done on either beach by
the storm. Certain it is that for
every slight damage that has been
discovered improvements in the mat
ter of beach gains were made which
more than balance any loss. The
nearest apprdach to damage was on
Ocean View. The breakers rolled up
in front of and under the new hotel,
very much "demoralizing" the exten
sive board walks in front of the place.
The beach is slightly washed in front
of Mr. Geo. Parsley's and Mr. Dan
O'Connor's cottages, the latter oc
cupied by Mrs. Bowden. Two or three
steps were carried away from the cot
tage occupied by Mrs. Bowden.
A small shanty up above the old
Ocean View Hotel was demolished and
washed out to sea by the breakers. It
was occupied by negro servants, who
abandoned it when its destruction
seemed imminent
People who spent Tuesday night on
the beach say that the night passed off
very quietly, compared to what they
had really expected. They say that at
no time did the wind gain a higher
velocity than it had about 6 o'clock in
the evening, when it was estimated at
sixty-five miles an hour.
Kouod of Pleasure Kesnmed.
The storm conditions having thorKi
oughly broken up yesterday morning
the Wilmington Seacoast train to
Wrightsville Beach were as much
crowded with people returning to the
cottages and hotels as they were on
the day previous with those fleeing
from there for rear of the storm. The
fact is all the cottagers returned to
the beach, as did the guests who left
the hotels, and a visitor on the beach
yesterday evening who did not know
of the deserted condition of the place
on the previous evening would scarce
ly believe that the beach could have
been so thoroughly depopulated so
recently.
The regular round of merry making
bv the cottagers and visitors has been
resumed as though there had been no
interruption. Tomorrow there will
be the yacht races of Carolina dub
followed by a frolic at the club house
in the evening. Then there will be
the regular weekly hop at Atlantic
Club. There will also very probably
be the usual weekly ball at Seashore
hotel on Saturday night
It will be of interest to note that on
last Tuesday night while the storm
wasrarinsr so fiercely about the aban
doned cottages and hotels on the beach
. l&rce number of the refuerees held a
delightful revel in the parlors . of the
Atlantic View Hotel on Wrightsville
Sound. A large number of the visi
tnrm miniirniiip on the beach stODDed
on the sound instead of coming all the
way to the city to spend the night and
they and the sound cottagers gathered
.7 j .J-S
with one accora at ine noiei
where music was provided and danc
. i , . a i
ing was ine oraer oi iao evening.
While the winds were howling, the
hre&kers surcine into the sound
and the rain pattering upon the house,
and many people were in almost
momentary fear or the coming or the
real hurricane, the merry-makers in
the hotel passed the time joyously, as
could well be imagined, dancing the
'hihland flinsr" the old Virginia reel
and the square dance as well as the
more modern two-step ana waiiz. ao
that it can be said that the merry
making at Wilmington's popular
seaside resorts suffered absolutely no
interruption by reason of the near ap
proach and expected yisit of the West
Indian storm.
Carolina Beach conditions.
So far as the effect of the storm is
concerned, the conditions are much
the same on Carolina Beach as those
on Wrightsville Beach. None of the
cottages was specially damaged. If
one part of the beach was a little
washed out another part nuea in, so
that there yt really no damage to speak
of. ' All the cottagers returned to ine
Beach yesterday and matters have
assumea a normal condition.
It will be of interest to note mat ine
tides yesterday were almost as high as
they were on Tuesday; but this did not
excite any undue alarm and no dam
age was done.
Storm in me wiiy.
T.ittlA need be added to what was
said in yesterday's Star regarding-the
storm in Wilmington. In fact the
storm came near slighting the city
altogether and no noteworthy damage
was done by wind or rain. There was
no severe wind yesterday. Rain fell
heavily at intervals, but all storm con
ditions were dissipated early in the
forenoon.
SCHOLARSHIP EXAMINATION.
Will be Conducted by Cfpt. Manning Sat
urday for Free College Dues at
A. & M. College.
On next Saturday Captain Ed. Wil
son Manning, County Superintendent
of Public Instruction, will conduct
an examination of applicants for free
scholarships in the A. & M. College in
accordance with a recent resolution of
the Board of Trustees of that institu
tion allowing each member of the
House of Representatives, each mem
ber of the State Senate and each mem
ber of the Board of Trustees to bestow
a free scholarship in the college upon
some deserving young man, according
to the conditions of the law regulating
such scholarships.
The conditions are that the appli
cant is prepared to enter the co'lege
and that he is unable to defray his ex
penses of tuition and room rent
amounting to $30 annually.
The examination papers will be for
warded to Presideut Geo. T. WiDston
by the County Superintendent and the
appointee will be notified immediately
as to whether he has successfully
passed and is appointed by the college
to a scholarship. Should an applicant
fail he can be examined again at the
college in Raleigh on Tuesday, Sep
tember 5th, and should he again fail
he would have to return to his home
at his own expense for the trip both
ways.
Appointments when made are good
until the student is graduated, which
is usually four years.
Applicants must be at least 15 years
of age and the certificate of inability
to pay must be signed by parent or
guardian and the person making the
appointment
SHOE STEALING CASES.
Negro Named Neal Committed to Jail.
Cases Before Justice McQowaa.
David Neal, the negro arrested sev
eral days ago for the larceny of several
pair of shoes from the store of Mr. MT
RosenmanH, on Market street, was
sent to jail in default of $50 bond for
his appearance at the next term of
Criminal Court by Justice McGowan,
before whom the case was investi
gated yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
The negro claimed tbat he bought the
shoes from Mr. Roseomann, but there
were conflicting circumstances which
Justice McGowan adjudged would
admit of probable cause. Brooke G.
Empie, Esq , appeared as counsel for
the defendant.
Cato Boney, another negro, upon
whom suspicion rested in the same
matter, was discharged for want of
evidence.
Robert Bolden, colored, was also
arraigned before Justice McGowan's
tribunal yesterday on suspicion of
having been the thief who so daringly
entered the cabin of the Ruth Darling
and stole $32 in money from Capt
Sam Davis, particulars of which have
already been given in the Star. The
evidence was insufficient and he, too,
was discharged.
THE BENEFIT BASE BALL GAME
Between Married Men and Single Men To
morrow Afternoon.
Attention is directed to an announc-
ment in another column, of the base
ball game to be played to-morrow af
ternoon between a team of married
men and another of single men, the
proceeds to benefit the Katherine
Kennedy Home. Mr. Joe H. Hinton,
who is managing the team, promises
a real interesting as well as mirth-provoking
game. The success which at
tended a similar game for the same
benefit last year, is pleasantly remem
bered by the large number of patrons,
the game having neted $20 and more.
The price of admission to-morrow
will be 15 cents for gentlemen and 10
cents for ladies. The game will be
called at 4:30 o'clock and Mr. Hinton
requests every one who has promised
to take part in the game to be on hand
promptly, attired in base ball uniform.
Wanted in Lnmberton.
Frank Robertson, a young white
man, who has been employed for a
short time at the Cotton Mills, - was
arrested yesterday by Deputy Sheriff
Mil lis on a, warrant from Sheriff
George B. McLeod, of Robeson county,
charging him with the larceny of a
silver watch about a week ago from
Mrs. Mary L. Futrell, with whom he
boarded at Lumberton. In a letter to
Sheriff MacRae, accompanying the
warrant, Sheriff McLeod says that
Mrs. Futrell is a widow and earns a
livelihood by repairing watches,
clocks, etc., and is anxious to recover
the property.
Sheriff MacKae yesterday notified
the Robeson authorities of the arrest
and it is probable that an officer will
be down at noon to-day for the pris
oner. Young Robertson says that at
the proper time he will vindicate him
self fully, and it is not believed here
thathe is guilty of wilful wrong-doing.
Yacht Race and Frolic.
Mr. James T. Munds, as purser of the
Carolina Yacht Club, announces in the
Star this morning by order of the Re
gatta Committee that the August yacht
race will be sailed over the banks chan
nel on Friday afternoon, August 18th,
4.30 p. m. All yachts which par
ticipate in the race must report at the
club house at 4 o'clock. On Friday
ni
ight there will be a club frolic.

NEWS FROM DR. STRANGE.
Will Sail for United States To-Day, Reach,
ing New York August 28tb.
A letter received in the city yester
day from Dr. Robert Strange, rector
of St James Episcopal Church of this
city, who is making a tour of Europe,
says that he hopes to sail for home on
board the steamship Mesaba to-day,
August 17th, probably reaching New
York about August 28th. His host
of friends in Wilmington will be de
lighted to know that his health is ex
cellent and that he will return to his
charge here greatly strengthened..
Dr. Strange, upon his return to the
United States, will spend a couple of
weeks with his family in Virginia,
after which he will return to Wilming
ton and take up his work at St James'
about the middle of September.
Sawed Off.
Something rather amusing occurred
on the up trip of the steamer Wilming
ton last Saturday afternoon. Three
ladies and two young gentlemen were
seated, forming a party, upon the up
per deck. Them young ladies finally
engaged in singing when the two
young men joined in, one of the two
gentlemen making, probably for fun,
discordant notes, and finally turning
to one of the young ladies asked if she
had ever heard a billy goat sing, to
which she replied, "not until I heard
you a few moments ago." 'Passengers
near by who overheard it roared, while
the young man held for a time a carpet-
bottom stool before his face. Sufficient
to say he was quiet' for the remainder
of the trip.
Females "Scrap."
Ida Sanders and Jennie Willis, two
colored women who reside in the yicin
ity of Eighth and Swann streeTs, en
gaged in a fight yesterday afternoon
and as a result the Willis woman
was severely gashed about the head
and on the side with a glass dish in
the hands of the Sanders woman. The
women are sisters and the fight was
the outcome of a quarrel over which
should do, some washing for their
father. Dr. McMillan dressed the
wounds of the Willis woman and the
second participant in the fight was
placed in jail by Deputy Sheriffs Terry
and Flynn to await an investigation
before Justice McGowan this morning
at 10 o'clock.
AGAINST PERPETUAL ROYALTY.
From the Planter and Ginner.
The boosters for the trust try to make
it appear always that the fight against
the trust is a fight against improved
methods, pure and simple. They also
speak ot it as a fight against tne prin
ciple of compression at the gin. The
resolution introduced by Mr. Schaeffer
at the Galveston convention against
the Cole bill spoke of it as a bill aimed
at compression at the gin, when in fact
it was not so aimed but directed solely
against the perpetual royalty plan.
The resolution, as furnished the press
and printed in various papers, said
nothing about the Cole bill being
aimed at gin compression. Who do you
suppose changed the wording of that
resolution, and why? It would be in
teresting to know.

QUARANTINE LIFTED.
Health
Authorities Decided Yesterday to
Enforce it No Further.
The city health authorities yester
day decided that all possible dan
ger of a yellow fever epidemic
here by reason of contagion from
the infected district in Virginia
had passed, and accordingly the quar
antine was lifted and the officers
guarding the railroad approaches to
the city were ordered to be relieved of
further duty. They all returned to
the city yesterday and last night.
While at no time was there reason
for serious alarm or necessity for a
stringent quarantine, Chief Officer
Green has done efficient and faithful
service and the public is more than
ever of the opinion that Capt Green
is "the right man in the right place."

a fine exemplification of the benefits.
He urged more interest in uniform and
endowment ranks.
No Pythian is more thoroughly loved

Chancellor Woodward. His gentle
manner and cautious mien make him
one of the most pleasant of men.

THE STORM IN CAMP.
Members First Battalion Boys' Brigade
Had to Abandon Camp Temporarily
on Account High Winds.
Special Star Correspondence.
Camp Kenan,
Carolina Beach, Aug.
15
Yesterday afternoon a stiff southeast
breeze began blowing, and by mid
night it had. increased considerably in
force and this morning it began blow
ing down tents. Private Dosher re
marked last night that when some of
us were driving pins to hold our tents
down, he would be sleeping. He was
sleeping,' it is true, but when he awoke
he was looking at the clouds above.
His tent was the first to go down. At
the above mentioned time we all arose
and went to work trying to keep the
tents down, but the wind kept increas
ing in force so we had to abandon the
tents and hunt for other quarters. Mr.
Kure, with whom we are taking our
meals, was kind enough to permit us to
occupy his annex cottage known as the
"White House." We packed our knap
sacks and went to the White House, and
if the incoming tide does not route us
we think we are safe. There will be
no sleeping to-night, however, and in
case we should have to leave the beach
we are all ready to move at a moment's
notice. The tide is now about twenty
feet from the porch, and still rising.
The wind has blown the sand until it
is about an inch and a half or two
inches deep on the window sills. There
is not one of the boys that wants to go
home. We came to stay ten days, and
stay we will.. We have been busy to
day trying to keep out the torrents of
rain and sand. The sound and the
ocean are about to meet, and the tres
tle of the railroad is now under water
and the train is unable to . meet the
next boat
We wish to inform the mothers of
the boys that we are all right. The
Colonel is with us, and they need not
be anyways uneasy.
We didn't take a surf bath this morn
ing, but we got a good sand bath in
stead. We wish to thank Mr. J. F. Russ,
who is secretary and treasurer of our
brigade, and his employer, Mr. R. F.
Warren, for remembrance in sending
us a lot of pies and cakes, which we
are enjoying this evening in our new
quarters. C. E. B.
