There is every indication that the greatest base ball games of .this season i ba played on the Hilton Park diamond next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, when the "All American" team of Portsmouth and the Wil mington Athletic Association team will measure strength. A prominent official of the Wilmineton Athletic Association told a member of the Stab staff last night that the team which Wilmington will have on the diamond kwill be by odds the strongest that has yet battled for her base ball laurels. Contracts have been closed with Kenna, the pearless pitcher who did such signally successful work for Tar- boM, and also with Oldham, Person, Fertie Johnson, Bob Gwaultney and Jack Johnston. There are several other well known players who will very probably be secured for the Athletic Association team. Ed Kenna will very probably reach here to-day, and Henry Person will arrive Sunday. Jessie Oldham will not get here until Wednesday but all the others will come in time to have several good practice games and get in thorpugh trim for the contest with the All Americans." It is probable that the Athletic Association will succeed in booking Graham Woodward, the well known University short stop, for the team. If they do he will bo here to play in the series of games this week. With all the base ball talent which the Athletic Association is gathering the "All Americans" will have to do some tall playing to win either of the three games to be played. They have written the manager of the Wilming ton-team that they are coming with the strongest team they have yet had, and will bring quite a number of rooters with them. DEATH OF MRS. ANN EM PIE MILLER. Depsrted This Life Yesterday Morning at 10:30 O'clock The Faneril Mrs. Ann Empie Miller, widow of Dr. Joseph Swift Miller, died yester day morning about 10.80 o'clock at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. J. Hal Boatwright, No. 217 Dock street. Mrs. Miller was 74 years.of age and h.ad been in declining health for many months. About a week ago she suffered the consequence of a fall from her bed to the floor, fracturing a limb, which it is thought hastened her death, though she received the best of surgical attention and the tenderest care in nursing. Mrs. Boatwright is the only survi ving member of the immediate family and to her a host of friends will ex tend the kindliest sympathy in the sad bereavement, which in the dispensa tion of Providence she is called upon to suffer. The funeral will be from St. James' Episcopal church this afternoon at 5.30 o'clock. HUNDREDS OP PASSENUERS. The Steamer Wilmiortoo Had Another Red Letter" Dsy Yesterday. The steamer Wilmington handled a more passengers yesteruay man sue has in any single day in several weeks. Probably 400 visiting excursionists were carried down to the beach during the day and nearly, if not fully 400 Odd Fellows and others from the city went down to the beach with the orphans. Then there was the big moonlight excursion under the auspices of the Second Regiment Band which attracted several hun dred people down the river last night Captain Harper and Purser Banks in every possible way contribu te to the p'easure and comfort of their passengers, thus ever increasing the much deserved popular favor in which the Wilmington is held by the pleasure loving public. Msyor's Court. Yesterday was "dog day" in the municipal court and eight owners of the canine tribe were arraigned for not nrovidincr their animals with checks as ST prescribed in the general tax ordinance. They were from "Brooklyn" and had all manner of excuses for their negli gence. Some denied ownership of their dogs: some pleaded that the checks had been lost, and one stated to the Mayor that the animal. which caused all his trouble, was the property of Arie Bryant The defendants all either bought badges or turned their dogs oyer to the police to be killed. Policeman Woebse yesterday served papers on eight other persons for the same offence and they will explain to the Mayor this morning. Three other cases were tried yester day in which the usual charges of drunkenness and disorderly conduct were preferred, but the Mayor was kindly disposed and let the trio off with slight punishment Will Reside in Wilmington.

O. t THE CORONER'S INQUEST. Jory Return Verdict Excalpstinc Every Body la the Distressing Accident at the Beach Thnrsdsy Afternoon. The coroner's ' jury empannelled Thursday afternoon by Dr. Richard Price to enquire into the circumstan ces of the distressing accident by which Mrs. Susan L. McPhersou was terribly mangled and killed by an engine on the Seacoast railroad at Wrightsville beach, met at the court house yesterday morning an d adjorn ed until 12:30 o'clock in the afternoon, when the testimony of several wit nesses was heard and the following verdict rendered : "We find that the deceased came to her death by being run over by an engine attached to a train of the Wil mington Seacoast Railway Company, and the jury do further find that no blame is attached to any. official or employe of the said railway company. or to any other person or nersons to the jury known." The witnesses examined were Engineer J. S. Diyine, who was at the throttle when the horrible occurrence took place; Mr. W. H. Northrop, Jr., a son-in-law of the deceased, and Miss Susie Burriss, who was, at the time oi the accident, looking out of a window upstairs in the Northrop cottage. Their testimony differed in no impor tant points from the details published in yesterday's Star. The jury met at the office of Dr. Price in the afternoon and were as follows: George L. Peschau, Esq., (foreman) ;DuBrutzCutlar, Esq. ; H.B. Peschau, C.-B. Souther land, H. L. Miller and James S. Hall. FUNERAL OF MRS. McPHERSON Conducted From St. James' Church Yes terday Afternoon by Dr. Carmichael and Rev. R. R Windiey. Quite a large audience assembled in St James' Episcopal church yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock, the occasion being the funeral service over the remains of Mrs. Susan L. McPherson, whose horrible death under the wheels of a Wilmington Seacoast railroad locomotive was told in yesterday's Star. The representative audience and beautiful floral tributes bore deserved testimony to the love and esteem in which the deceased was held by the people of Wilmington among whom eo many years of her exemplary life were spent. The services were conducted by Rev. James Carmichael, D. D. and Rey. R. R. Windiey, in conformity to the Episcopal ritual, and the remains were laid to rest in Oakdale cemetery. The pall bearers were: Honorary Capt E. W. Manning and Mr. Sam uel Northrop: active Mr. Walker Meares, Capt A. L. DeRosset, Capt. John L. Boatwright, Dr. J. H. Dur ham, Mr. Jno. A. Everett and Mr. T. O. Bunting. COTTON AND NAVAL STORES. Comparative Statement of Receipts For the Week and Part of Crop Year. Weekly and crop year receipts of cotton and naval stores for the week ending yesterday and for the crop year to the same date, together with those of corresponding periods last year, were posted at the Produce Ex change yesterday as follows : Week ending August 25th, 1899 Cotton, 123 bales; spirits, 1,386 casks; rosin, 2,232 barrels; tar, 2,154 barrels; crude, 303 barrels. Week ending August 25th, 1898 Cotton, 17 bales; spirits, 776 casks; rosin, 2,015 barrels; tar, 2,456 barrels; crude, 309 barrels. Crop year to August 25th, 1899 Cotton, 289,816 bales; spirits, 16,590 casks; rosin, 55,077 barrels; tar, 19,916 barrels ; crude, 5,108 barrels. Crop year to August 25th, 1898 Cotton, 323,160 balesspirits, 15,670 casks; rosin, 77,186 barrels; tar, 22,097 barrels; crude, 5,382 barrels. It is noticeable that the weekly and crop year receipts of naval stores, for the most part, are fully as heavy as for the corresponding period in 1898, and that cotton receipts fop the week are mush larger than for the same week last year. The latter is due to the fact that in the territory contigu ous to Wilmington the crop is much more forward than for the year 1898, and the former is probably traceable to the very remunerative prices that shippers have been realizing by reason of the boom in spirits, tar and crude for the past several weeks. . MRS. FANNIE VANAMRINQE. Fanersl Yesterdsy Morning From Her Late Residence on Orange Street. Yesterday morning at 10.30 o'clock, from the late residence. No. 608 Orange street, the funeral of Mrs. Fanny VanAmringe was impressively con ducted by Rev. P. H. Hoge, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, of which' the deceased was a consistent and valued member. A special choir, consisting of Miss Etta Hart, Mrs. C. H. Robinson, Mr. H. K. Holden and Mr. C. H. Robin son, sang with touching effect the hymns, "I Need Thee Every Hour" and "Abide With Me, Fast Falls the Evening Tide." There was a large gathering offriends both at the resi dence to attend the funeral and at Oakdale cemetery, where the inter ment was made. The pall bearers were: Messrs. K Borden, W. M. Hankins, Richard Price. B. F. Hall, A. D. Brown, Jas. W. Collins, R. H. Beery and W. A. Riach. Mrs. Emily Davis, a sister of the deceased, arrived from New York and attended the solemn funeral. MR. SLOCUM EXPLAINS. Scavenger Ordinance is Generally Mis understood by the Public, He Says. His Position Defined. Mr. W. R. Slocum, who was awarded the contract for doing the scavenger work of the city by the Board of Health some time ago, has written a letter to the Star in which' he wishes, inasmuch as it appears to him that he has been grossly misrep resented in his official actions for the past several weeks, to set himself aright. aMr. Slocum says: Dr. W. D. McMillan, our Superin tendent of Health, ishaving the scav enger work done in this manner: The health officers are sent out each day to inspect from house to house and from block to block. Such places as are found in good samtary condition are so reported and not required to be attended to. Such as are not in a healthy condition are condemned by the health officer and are ordered to be promptly attended to. These con demned places. 'are reported to me and either 1 or some one acting for me call to see the parties and are asked if they wish one of my scavengers to serve them; if they say yes, they are attended to; if they say no, they are so reported to the Super intendent of Health and the following day they are re inspected and if their places are not in good condition, un der the new ordinance, they are sub ject to a fine. I do not attempt to have any places attended without first having the consent of the owners. The way I make charges for places at tended to has also been grossly mis represented on the streets. The ordi nance says that for service rendered south of Castle street, east of Tenth streat and north of Hanover street. shall not accept Tver twenty-five cents; for service to places between Castle street and Hanover street and west of Tenth street, I may charge as mach as fif ty cents, and where, in the fifty cent district a man has been get ting his work done for less than fifty cents, then I accept the same as he has been paying. I have no place attend ed to for less than twenty-five cents. I expect my pay the day after the service is rendered, as the men who do the work are worthy of their hire. Each scavenger who goes to do work can show a paper with the number of house and street on it. Such paper is given each man and a man who can't show you 8uch;pap9r, you are at liber ty to deal with him as you please as far as I am concerned for he is not in my service. The ordinance can be read by any person asking to see it THE MOONLIGHT EXCURSION. Patrons of the Second Regiment Band Have a Pleasant Trip Down the River. The moonlight excursion on the steamer Wilmington, under the aus pices of the Second Regiment Band, last night, was well patronized and a thorough success was scored. The band "did themselves proud" in the matter of providing music for the trip, which was very nearly to "The Rocks" and back. They rendered many sterling selections-with that ex cellent execution for which they have established such an enviable reputa tion, and the Carolina Mendolin Club was a well received "second fid dler" for the band. In fact the Men dolin Club was very highly compli mented for the music they rendered. There wsre seasonable refreshments, and no pains were spared by the "band boys" or Captain Harper and his assis tant boatmen to accord every one a thoroughly pleasant evening. The boat reached the wharf on the return trip at a few minutes past 11 o'clock. MAY 00 TO GEORGIA. The Virginls-Carolins Chemical Company After More Mills. A Columbia, S. C, telegram of the 23d says: The Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company will probably soon extend its consolidation scheme to Georgia mills. Charles E. Borden, of Wilmington, N.C.,a representative of the company, is now in Columbia examining the Columbia phosphate mills, and ne gotiations for its purchase are pending. The company recently purchased the Globe mills here, and proposes to con solidate these two mills. The present annual output is 31,000 tons of ferti lizers. Mr. Borden will go to several Geor gia towns and make estimates for his company on the value of certain fer tilizer mills there. The capital of the Chemical Company was recently in creased from $12,000,000 to $24, 000,000.

The Democratic Press Association War Claims Allowed New Cotton. Winston's Savings Bank Meth- i odist Orphanage. Special Star Correspondence.' Raleigh, N. C, Aug. 25 Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, of President McKinley's cabinet, will be invited and urged to visit North Caro -lina during the State Fair in October. He has expressed a desire to come to this State and meet the people, and he intimated that it would be convenient for him to do so about the middle of October. He will therefore be for merly invited to visit Raleigh during the Fair. The secretary has expressed much interest in North Carolina and her people, especially the farmers of tne State, and he will be given a hear ty welcome if he decides to come. On Wednesday morning Mr. Sol. Mitchell, who lives at Barnes' Mill, about 20 miles from here was drowned in a peculiar manner. In the course of his duties about the mill he saw a small defect in the dam that he thought ought to be remedied. He undertook to do so, standing be low the dam, and driving with a hatchet. He had struck hardly a half a dozen blows when the whole dam suddenly gave way and the water rushed down, submerging him and hurling him along the bed of the stream for a mile to the river below, where his body wss found later in the day, So mighty was the force of the water that it tore every shred of clothes from his body, crushed his head and bruised and mangled his limbs. Fifteen negroes left here this morn ing over the Seaboard Air Line for New York, to work in a brick yard on Long Island. They are promised $1.25 to $1.50 a day.

Lynching Threatened at Waynesville. At noon -to-day Governor Russell received a telegram from Solicitor Fer guson, at waynesville, saying mat there were threats of lynching Burt Smith, now in jail there charged with rape. He said the sheriff had asked that the Waynesville military com pany be put at his disposal. Immedi ately Acting Adjutant General J. C L. Harris telegraphed to Captain Stringfield, as follows: "You are commanded to assemble your company under arms and report to the sheriff of Haywood county at once and execute Ins orders in pro tecting Burt Smith from mob vio lence. You will preserve the peace and uphold the civil law." It is supposed that this was effective in preventing violence, as up to 11 o'clock to night nothing further has been heard. Another batch of war claims al lowed were received to-day from Washington. They amount to $12, 327.05. There is still unpaid $9, 166.05. The committee appointed for the purpose met here to-day and drafted a constitution and by-laws for the Democratic Press Association to be formed in North Carolina. They will meet for organization during the State Fair. Damage to Crops. Wadesboro Messenger-Intelligencer: "The cotton crop in this section was badly damaged by the hot windy weather of last week.
