HrsXof Several to be Erected it Varloas Points More Than Fifty Per Cent. of the Employes Are Members of the Department. Announcement was made in yester day's Star that bids are solicited by the Relief Department of the-Atlantic Coast Line for the ecection of hos pital at South Rocky Mount, the building to be completed within four months. Limited space would not admit of particular reference to the matter in that issue. It will be of interest to note that this is the first of a number of hos pitals to be established by the Relief Department, to which all injured em ployes will be sent, unless more con venient or by reason of serious injury interfering with transportation, it is deemed best to put them in contract hospitals at the termini of the line. For instance, the A. C. L. has a reg ular contract with the City Hospital for the treatment of patients on this part of the line. It is for this reason that no hospital is to be erected in this city at least for some time to come. The new hospital at South Rocky Mount is to be situated just back of the railroad depot There will be room in the wards for thirty-two beds There will be separate wards for. white and col ored patients located respectively in the right and left wings of the build ing. There will also be -eight private rooms besides various other -apartments pre requisite to a well appointed hospital. The equipment is to be thoroughly up to date and the institution will be in charge of Drs. W. H. and J. P. White, of Rocky Mount The nurses and others of the necessary hospital corps will not be selected for some weeks yet In speaking of the success which is attending the Relief Department Dr. Geo. G. Thomas, Superintendent and Chief Surgeon, told a member of the Stab staff yesterday that although the Department has only been in operation since April 1st, fully if not more, than 50 per cent of the employes of the A. C. L. system are already members and the Department is paying sick and accident benefits to sick and injured members and death benefits to bene ficiaries in case of death. The system and general business machinery of the Department is operating in a manner "highly satisfactory to Dr. Thomas, his efficient assistant superintendent Mr. Nixon Davis, and other promoters of the enterprise. FRYING PAN LIGHTSHIP. Pears Entertained That She Has Broken Loots From Her Mooring. Some anxiety was felt her yester day by custom house officials and ship brokers for the safety of Frying Pan Lightship. It is feared that she has broken loose from her moorings and drifted to sea. However, even if this were the case, it does not necessarily follow that she has been or will be de stroyed,, as the vessel is fitted with full rigging designed to withstand a storm. Capt Rogers, U. S. lighthouse in spector at Charleston, yesterday wired Deputy Collector Taylor, of the cus tom house here, for information as to how the ship withstood the hurricane, but no definite information for him could be gathered. The deputy collec tor wired ,to Southport to have the vessel signalled as soon as th? weather cleared up, and if she is still anchored at her mooring it is probable that she is all safe and will respond to the sig nals. Capt Staples, of the Oneida, which arrived here Thursday, says that when he was compiled to put to sea Tuesday to escape the storm, the lightship was even at that time faring roughly, and from the wind which followed it was his opinion that she has broken from her moorings. A message to this effect was sent to Inspector Rogers yesterday morning. Returned from lamp Mesde. James H. Brittaia, one of the volun teers enlisted here for the Twenty seventh regiment U. S. "Volunteers, returned to the city yesterday, having been discharged on the 15th instant for disabilities due to rheumatism. The recruits are-stationed at Camp Meade, Pa., and Private Brittain says all are fairly well satisfied with their environments. F. H. Cooper, anoth er of the recruits enlisted here, was rejected on account of a mutilated hand on the day he arrived in camp and left presumably for Wilmington, though nothing has been seen of him here. Affray in Price's Alley. Tom Williams and Abraham Bryant, two colored citizens, engaged in a fra cas in Price's alley yesterday after noon, in which guitars, beer bottles, brick and other articles were used as weapons and both parties to the affray came out of it more or less injured. Constable Sheehan happened on the scene about the time of the disturbance and the combatants were carried be fore Justice Bornemann, who com mitted them both to jail in default of $50 bond each for their appearance at the November term of Criminal Court.

C, SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, SUSPECTED MURDERER. Yonng jSerTo Man Taken Into Cistody On Suspicion of Beinr An Accomplice in the Hughes Murder. Wm. Gilliam, a young negro man who is employed during the Fall months at the cotton compresses, was locked up at the police station late yes terday afternoon on suspicion of hav ing been implicated in the murder of the old Confederate soldier Hughes, who was beaten into insensibility and left in a car standing on the "Y" of the Wilmington and Weldon railroad on Saturday night May 20th last, and later died at the City Hospital from the wounds received. Gilliam was under suspicion imme diately after the crime was committed, but made hisescape, going to several places, among ' them being Norfolk, South Rocky Mount and Florence, He has, however, been carefully shad owed during this time by Chief of Police Parmele, and since his return to the cityseveral days ago, Chief Parmele has been arranging for his capture. Yesterday afternoon Captain of Police Furlong with a squad of of ficers, consisting of Policemen Wool ard, Woebse, Ward and Grimsley, surrounded Gilliam's father's house, on Eighth street, between Harnett and Swann, and effected his capture. It is said that a strong chain of circum stantial evidence is wound around him, though he stoutly denies his guilt to the officers. He is also wanted by Justice Mc Gowan for implication in the A. C. L. brass, stealing cases recently investi gated, and it is probable that he will be called to answer this charge before Justice McGowan to day. No date has been set for the investi gation of charges of murder against him. Cotton and Naval Stores. The following weekly and crop year receipts of cotton and naval stores at Wilmington were posted at the Pro duce Exchange yesterday, showing a comparison of the receipts with cor responding periods last year : Week ending August 18th, 1899 Cotton, 1 bale; spirits turpentine, 1,187 casks; rosin, 3,269 barrels; tar, 2,135 barrels ; crude turpentine, 396 barrels.

C, charging him with the theft of a watch from a Mrs. Futrell, was released yes terday by Sheriff MacRae by authority of an order from Sheriff George B. LMcLeod, of Robeson. The young man's mother, Mrs. A. V. Robertson, immediately after her son's arrest went to Lumberton and investigated the charges, which she claims were trumped up against the young man to gratify a personal grudge against the boy on account of some misunder standing regarding a board bill. Young Robertson wad released from custody yesterday and he is highly in dignant over the fact that he has been humiliated by imprisonment for a felony which he says he has not com mitted. Excltinf Runaway. The horse of Superintendent of of Streets J. A. Perry treated the pe destrians along Fourth and Chesnut and Third streets to Market yesterday morning to the excitement of a lively runaway. The frightened animal ran into a cart in front of Mr. P. H. Hayden's carriage and harness shops opposite the court house and com pletely demolished the buggy to which it was attached, leaving it very luckily at the repair shop's door. The horse became frightened at a dog carrying an umbrella in its mouth, and a little son of Mr. Perry, who was in the buggy when the horse dashed off, was thrown from the buggy, but escaped serious injury. Ship-Wrecked Sailor. A shipwrecked sailor from ab oard the two masted sloop yacht Jones which was wrecked off Oregon Inlet bar near Newborn in the hurricane of Tuesday while on a voyage from New York to Charleston, was sent 'from Newborn to this city yesterday and is now being cared for by the Seamen's Friend Society until he can ship from this port to New York. He was picked up by the life saving crew at Ocracoke with his two shipmates after the Jones had been completely de molished. The yacht had been pur chased by parties in Charleston and was being sailed there for delivery to the buyers. Investlfatinf committee.

CAMP KENAN, CAROLINA BEACH. Game of Base Ball Between Companies of Boys' Brigade of America. I Special Star Correspondence. Camp Kkwah, ) Carolina Beach, Aug. 18. Yesterday morning we started out putting up our tents and about 9 o'clock the sun came out and we thought we were going to have good weather during the remainder of our stay here, but last night it began blow ing a cool northwest breeze and rain came down in torrents until about 9 o'clock. We were cool numbers in camp last night Yesterday one of the boy's hat blew off and made a bee-line for the ocean. One of the boys started for it and off his blew and out to sea both hats went Mr. Joe Benson was on hand at the time, and, though it seems al most impossible, yet, it is a fact that in about a half minute three of the boys had assisted in undressing and putting his bath suit on and out he swam for the hat a distance of about one-half of a mile. He secured the hats and came back all safe. One of a series of three games of ball was played yesterday between Company A and Company B, the score resulting being in favor of Company A, 5 to 3.

BEACH ATTRACTIONS Yacht Race and Dances at the Carolina Club and Ocean View Hotel. MANY EXCURSIONISTS HERE. Were 12,000 In City and On Beaches LaBt Night The Seashore Hotel Closed Successful Season Ocean View Hotel Still Open. This will be gay afternoon and even ing on Wrightsville iJeach if the weather conditions are auspicious. There will be the August regatta and club frolic this afternoon and night, announcement of which is made in another column, and a dance at the new Ocean View Hotel, Mrs. W. E. Mayo proprietress.

Host of Excursionists. Last night the new Ocean View Hotel was taxed to its utmost capaci ty and still had to turn away large numbers of people, excursionists from High Point Ashboro, Randle man and other points. Oceanic Hotel on Carolina Beach was also well filled and several hundred excursionists spent the night in the city. It is esti mated that 1,200 or more excursion ists were here up to 11 o'clock when the excursion from Concord, Greens boro and vicinity, about 600 strong, left homeward bound, having gone to sea during the day on board the steamer Wilmington.

Seashore Hotel on Wrightsville Beach closed a very successful season yesterday, having been crowded with guests from all parts of the country since June 1st. The closing of this popular hotel is about two weeks earlier than usual this year for the reason that the severe storm con ditions which have prevailed all along the South Atlantic coast the past sev eral days has interfered very much with the patronage of pleasure seekers from the interior and it is feared by Proprietor Geo. Campbell and Mana ger Crawford that business will not justify them in continuing longer. As previously announced in the Stab vast improvements are to be made in the hotel by the time the next season opens. The new Ocean View Hotel will continue open for guests until October 1st so that visitors, to this popular seaside resort can still secure the yery best hotel accommodation. Base Ball To.day.

Died Last Wednesday at His Father's Home Near Klnston, N. C. Star Correspondence.' Kinston, N. C, August 18. Last Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock, at his father's home near Kinston, Benjamin &. Btaniy, more familiarly known, as "Pat" Stanly, died at the age of 27 years. His ill ness was short, his condition not hav ing become alarming until within the past few days. He was a srraduate of the Univer sity, and during his stay there of four years was a memoer or tne case osui team, and for one year of the foot ball team. Of the former he was captain for two years, and was known as one of the best amateur players in the South. His jolly good nature haa en deared him to a number of friends, who will hear with regret of his death. LIKE THE FOX, From the Planter and Oinner. One thine at the Galveston conven tion that struck me as peculiar was the fact that the ginners who had round bale presses tried to make such brave talks for them, and yet not one among them said he had found his press profitable, xney seemea to do like the fox, who, having had his tail pinched off in a crack, wanted all the rest of the foxes to have theirs pinch ed offnot because he had enjoyed it, but because he didn't want to be the only fox who had gotten his tail pinched. While one of those round bale ginners was speaking, and struggling like a young lawyer with a bad case to make the best argument he could, a member sitting behind me re marked to the man next to him : "That fellow puts me in mind of the fellow that had the runaway bull by the tail. He thought if he let go the bull would hook him to death, and knew if he held on the bull would run him to death." I thoucht the illustration very apt but I believe the ginner would be safer to trust taking the great trust by the ii " ! a, . Ji.- A-.;i norns inan in swinging unto ius uui WHOLE NO, 9,986 HIGH PRICES FOR SPIRITS WILL CONTINUE FOR 1899. Predictions of Prominent. Naval Stores Men As to the Future of the Tur pentine Market. The following article from the Sa vannah Morning News regarding the condition of the spirits of turpentine market of that city will be interesting to Wilmington dealers : "The days of 25 to 30 cents spirits of turpentine have ended," said a promi nent naval stores factor to a Mornina News reporter yesterday. "I am satis- ned that last year reached the maxi mum. Had it not been for the freeze this year's crop would have doubtless equaled or perhaps excelled last year's and established the high-water mark for the trade. As it is now, last year's crop is likely to prove i.he record crop. "As the result of the freeze the yield this year is estimated to be 20 per cent, less than it would otherwise have been and the crop is expected to fall 15 per cent, short of last year. Both operators and factors were badly fooled by the freeze. There was some talk of damage to the trees just after the severe cold wave in February, but little impor tance was attributed to it, and the mat ter had been almost forgotten until the noticeable shortage in the yield this summer brought the report very forci bly to mind. Operators generally re ported that their crops were yielding anywhere from 10 to 331 per cent, less than they had a right to expect, judg ing from their experience in former years, and the reduced receipts have verified their reports." The factors usually estimate that one half the crop will be received by Aug. 1. The four months of April, May and June furnishing one-half the year's supply and the remaining eight months the other half. It is estimated that something over half the crop is now in. This causes the factors to believe that the present high prices will be maintained for some time to come, spirits were quoted yesterday at 47f with a steady demand for do mestic supplies and several transac tions were made at this figure. It was freely predicted that the price would go to 50 cents before the end of the week and that in all probability it would reach that figure to day. With the . fiTRftntion of a few small contracts sold for September the work of filling contracts will be completed this month and a great burden will be rolled from the minds of factors and operators alike. The amount i of con tracts sold last spring was unusually large ; and the unexpected shortage in the crap has forced the factors to strain every nerve in order to fill -the con tracts which they had sold for them selves and their customers. Many operators oversold their production, no allowances having been made for the effects of the freeze upon the yield, and the buying of spirits to fill these contracts has had a great deal to do with the abnormal conditions of the market "There will be less surplus to be car ried over April 1 than in any year for a number of years past. Hence I am inclined to believe that high prices will continue indefinitely. The day of 25 and 30 cents spirits has pass ed. The crop has reached its maxi mum, and with the increasing demand every gallon of spirits which can be produced hereafter will be in demand. The high prices received this year will undoubtedly encourage the operators to make extra efforts next year, but there are a number of things which contribute to prevent any great exten sion of business. The main cause which will contribute to confine the business within present lines is the lack of labor. Turpentine men have more difficulty every year in obtain ing a supply of labor. There is not sufficient labor in the turpentine belt at present, and the demand is not likely to be supplied. The Carolinas have been drained and agents who go there every season bring back fewer laborers each time." VIRGINIA-CAROLINA CHEMICAL CO. Anxious to Buy Other Fertilizer Concerns In Opposition to Them. Charleston News and Courier, 18th, There is talk on all sides of the probable absorption by the Virginia Carolina Chemical Company of sey eral or all of the fertilizer concerns now doing business in this country outside of the big company's lines. No secret has been made, of the fact that the Virginia-Carolina Company is ready and anxious to buy up all' op position, but the owners of the outside concerns are not oyer anxious to tell what they have been offered or what answers they have made. "It is openly averred that the Ashe poo, in which the Bradleys are inter ested largely, is one of the concerns that may come in under "V and C." rule very soon, but naturally the officials of both decline to be quoted on the subject. Another of the inde pendent companies was said yesterday to be under the eye of the big corpora tion, and probably the next to go, but this could not be verified. Whatever may be the precise conditions at pres ent it is confidently expected that im portant developments will be seen within a very few days. Church Notices. Chapel of the Good bnepherd.
