He has been grant ed leave of absence and will return ith his regiment, whose term of enlistment expires September 2d. At a recent watermelon-eating bout participated in by a number of New Jersey preachers at a camp ing one devoured two melons and waa proclaimed the champion. Then they "put him to bed." Subsequent proceedings have not been reported. Preachers, likemoat men, do not complain at a reasonable amount of attention, but the Washington min ister who at Bath Harbor, Maine, received so much attention from the police that he was arrested by mis take for a thief, decidedly objected to it. The bachelors in Hesse, Germany, are taxed 25 per cent, more than Carried people, and the unreason 'ble fellows are kicking against it. If they want to enjoy the luxury of sewing on their own buttons and all that kind of thing they should be willing to pay for it.

Field's Qreiter Minstrels Will Reader tbe Isanxnrsl Performance. Some of the Attractions Booked. Opera Honse Officers. Carpenters and upholsterers are busy in the Wilmington Opera House putting it in readiness fo- the opening of the 1899 1900 theatrical season, which will have a brilliant inauguration in the presentation of AL G. Field's Greater Minstrels on Friday evening of this week. Manager Schloes has booked an unusually strong line of attractions for the season. Among the earlier engagements are: Eugenia Blair, in "Lady of Quality;" Frederick Ward presenting popular Shakespearian plays; Charles Coghlan, the famous English actor; playing "Royal Box;" Tbe Brady & Zeigfield Co., playing "The Turtle;" Lewis Morrison, play ing "Frederick the Great;" Russell Bros , comedians; Triumphant Co., headed by Louis James, Katherine Kidder and Chas. Hanford, and hav ing in the troupe fifty people playing "Winter's Tale;" Mabel Page Com pany and Kate Putnam the latter playing Hoyt's popular production, "The Texas Steer." The well known actor Jno. Kernell, who played last season with such signal success at Casino in New York, will bo here September 12th, and two days afterwards, September 14th, Eugenia Blair, mentioned above as playing "A Lady of Quality," will be the attraction. On September 18th, Prof. Lee, who has entertained Wil mington theatre-goers for two seasons with his marvellous exhibitions in hypnotism, will begin a solid week's engagement The best treat in store, probably for the entire season, will come on the 25th of the same month, when Frederick Warde will present one of his masterpieces, most probably "Julius C aesar. " ' The Tur tle" is booked for the 14th of the fol lowing month, and Lewis Morrison, already a favorite with Wilmington people, will present "Frederick, the Great" on the 21st Following close upon these standard attractions will be Russell Brothers, the comedians, presenting "Maids to Order" on Oc tober 23d ; "Darkest Russia" on No vember 1st; "A Winters Tale" on No vember 4th. On November 6th Mabel Page will begin a week's engagemen t The above are only a few of the most notable plays to be presented in the Wilmington Opera House before the new year. After the holidays there will be a succession of attractions equally as strong and then too there are a number of "lesser lights" in the theatrical world which will fill in the intervals between the standard attrac tions booked for both before and after Christmas holidays. Mr. Schloss has been very fortunate in securing the very best available at tractions. Wilmington theatre-goers will be especially glad to welcome back here this season such masters of the historic art as Lewis Morrison, Louis James, Fredrick" ' Vv ard, and Mabel Page. And then there are the numerous attractions new and old which are of an unusually high aver age and will afford an especially cred itable average standard of exercises far ahead of that of any previous season. The Opera House officers for the coming season will be the same as last season and are as follows: Manager Mr. S. A. Schlos. Business Manager Mr. Jas. H. Cowan. Treasurer Mr. Thos. EL Wright Assistant Treasurer Mr. Jack Solo mon, Chief Usher Mr. C. H. Cooper. Stage Manager Mr. Henry New man. Referring to the AL G. Field perfor mance on Friday night suffice, it to say that the troupe this year is even much stronger than in past seasons, and being an especial favorite with Wilmington people heretofore will beyond doubt be greeted this year with a packed house. There is a fine orchestra, a big band and the usual parade with the musical concert Al. G. Field has always kept faith with his patrons. He seems to have outdone all previous efforts with his company for this season. That he will reap a just reward goes without saying. It will be capacity of the house as usual. There will be a grand street parade at 11.30. Higher Prices for Matches. Baltimore Sun: Owing to the ac tion of the Diamond Match Trust of Chicago, which controls at present the manufacture and sale of matches throughout the country, the price of the cheaper grades of matches has been increased about 50 per cent Matches Which formerly brought 85 cents a gross now bring $1.30 a gross. This grade of matches has been- retail ing for from 8 to 10 cents a dozen boxes. The increase in cost at whole sale will probably bring the retail price up proportionately. For the week ending last night 32 arrests were made by the police, the offenders for the most part being colored persons. Let The C. W. Polvogt Co. make your New Window Shades.

Formal Transfer Prom Postmaster Chad, bonra to Miss Osrby-Cbsoies ia Personnel of Clerical Force. To-day the formal transfer of the Wilmington poetoffice to Miss Mary C. Darby, the new appointee, will be made by Postmaster Chadbourn, and she with her corps of assistants will assume absolute control of the entire machinery of the office. It was stated in these columns sev era! days ago that the transfer would probably be made on Sunday, inas much as the duties of the various clerks needed to take an inventory of stock on hand and attend to minor details of a change, would be consid erably lessened by reason of the light mails incident to a suspension of busi ness on the Sabbath. -Miss Darby, as previously stated, has received her commission from the President and her bond, an unusual ly strong one, has been duly ap proved by the department. In conversation with a Stab reporter last night Assistant Postmaster Wal lace said that Mr. E.H. Davis, who is at present Registry Clerk, would become Money Order Clerk to succed Miss Darby and that Mr. J. D. Do3cher,' who is -clerk at the stamp window, would succeed Mr. Davis in the Reg istry department No one has yet been appointed to succeed Mr. Doscher at the stamp window, but his place will be temporarily filled by one of the three remaining stamping clerks. Mr. Wallace will, of course, con tinue as Assistant Postmaster, as previously announced. The personnel of the postoffice man agement as it will become after to day, will, therefore, be as follows: Postmaster Miss Mary C. Darby. Assistant Postmaster T. E. Wal lace. MAILING DEPARTMENT. Mailing Clerks Wm. Ulrich, chief; John H. Holloway and Jno. Moore. Stamping Clerks J. R. Windley, Herman Meredith and J. J. Lough lin. General Delivery Clerk Miss M. Lee Bell. Special Delivery Messenger Frank Irwin. REGISTRY DEPARTMENT. Money Order Clerk E. H. Davi?. Registry Clerk J. D. Doscher. THE COTTON SEASON. Receipts of-flew Crop Staple Continne to Increase Compress May Begin Operations This Week. One hundred and sixty bales of new crop cotton were received on the Wil mington market yesterday. Most of the new staple is being brought in thus far over the W. C. & A. railroad and the entire reoeipts yesterday came that way. The crop appears to be much more forward in the territory through which this line and its branches pass, though several bales of new cotton have been already shipped from points on the Carolina Central. Most of the consignments yesterday were to Messrs. Alexander Sprunt & Son, and it is probable that enough stock will be on hand during the latter part of this week to warrant the be ginning of work at the Compress. Mr. Sprunt so expressed himself, yester day. The freight trains arriving here late yesterday afternoon and last night also brought large consignments of new cotton, wich will be on the market to-morrow morning. It is expected that if the weather continues favorable during the pres ent week, the receipts will probably reach from two to three thousand bales, and the cotton season which is hailed with delight by business men everywhere in the South, will be in full blast. Several ocean steamers for the ex port trade are expected to arrive dur ing the week. Funeral Yesterday Afternoon. Yesterday afternoon at 5 :30 o'clock from St James' Episcopal Church, the funeral services of Mrs. Ann Empie Miller were conducted in ac cordance with the impressive funeral ritual of that church by Rev. Dr. James Carmichael and Rev. R. R. Windley. There was a large attend ance of friends and relatives of the deceased and family both at the church and Oakdale cemetery, where the in terment was made. Many flowers in pretty designs were laid upon the grave by tender hands as a mark of respect to the deceased lady. The pall bearers were: Honorary Col. T. C. Mcllhenny and Col. WTL. DeRosset Active Messrs. T. H. Wright, Walker Meares, W. A. Wright, S. M. Empie, Brook G. Empie and T. W. Meares. A Female "Scrip."

The weapon used was a bush hook, and Dr. Richard J. Price, who dressed the wound, found it neces sary to make several stitches in the in cision. She was sent to her home and a warrant issued for her belligerent sister. The C.W. Polvogt Co. are ready to ipply you with New Carpets. They su are receiving them daily, rnces right t The C. W.

Government Steamer With Supplies From Newbera The Waynesvllle Trouble. . No Fear of Lynching Another Insect Pest Special Star Correspondence. J ' Ralhioh, N. C, August 26. An experiment is being tried at the North with negro labor. From time to time this year colored men have been leaving here in small parties, fifteen to twenty-five to engage in one kind of work or another in some of the New England States. The last party went Friday morning fifteen in it. The next will go Monday twenty in number. They go to New York to work in brick yards. The men employed there write that if the negro makes a good "hand" they will want fifty or 75 more at once. The experiment will be watched with in terest here by both races. The government steamer General Thorn left Newborn this afternoon with supplies for people along the coast who lost their homes, their boats and their means of livelihood in the recent storm. Some provisions have already been sent them from Newbern. Killed a Negro Womanv Fred. Marrow, a well-to do farmer in Vance county, quarrelled with a negro woman on his place a few days ago, and struck her on the head with a club. It was not thought at the time she was seriously wounded, but she has since died and Marrow has run away. The quarrel arose over the fact that the negro, who washed for the Marrow family, persisted in bringing the laundry basket in at the front door, contrary to Mrs. Marrows' wishes. It is said that seven hundred new to bacco barns have been built in Martin county. This means about 400 acres increase in the tobacco acreage of the county. The Waynesville Trouble. Burt Smith, who came so near being lynched at Waynesville yesterday, is seventeen years old. He is charged with raping his little niece, eight years old. A big Farmer's Institute will be held at Tarboro on Thursday and Friday, September 14 and 15. A special communication of the Grand Lodge of Mason's is called to meet in StatesviUe next Tuesday to lay the corner-stone of the new court house. Another Insect Pest. Complaints are being received at the Agricultural Department of a small bug that is destroying the fodder on the stalk. People from some of the coast coun ties say the whole face of the earth there was covered with water during the recent storm and an epidemic of fever and malaria is expected to re sult The water left much filth and debris upon the land. It has not yet been decided whether or not the Atlantic and North Caro lina Railroad will this year declare the usual 2 per cent dividend. President Patrick is very anxious to declare it, but Governor Russell is understood to be opposed to it. Special Star Telegram. No Excitement at Waynesville. A telegram from Waynesville says the citizens there fear no lynching, and no excitement prevails. Bert Smith, a white man, accused of rap ing his 8 year-old niece, was put in jail Sunday night There was some talk of lynching, and Friday the sheriff and the solicitor asked that the military be called out This was done, and the soldiers have been on guard around the jail. But. no mob has appeared, and there is no fear that it will. The child's father takes no interest in the matter, and claims his brother is innocent. The Aetcs and Observer to-night- re ceived the following telegram from Col. Julian S. Carr: "Have just read your appeal for aid for storm swept Eastern North Carolina. I send check for $200. WILL NOT PROSECUTE. Federal Authorities Not Expected to Proceed Against Ex-Postmaster Chadbonrn. Correspondence Raleigh Post. Washington, August 25. Special. Former Postmaster Chadbourn, of Wilmington, will notbe prosecuted in the criminal court as the Postoffice (Department has evidently come to the conclusion that nis dismissal, so iar as it is concerned, satisfies the end of justice. Assistant Attorney General Boyd said when asked about the case, that no move had been made by the Department of Justice, so as the initia tive has to be taken by the Postoffice Department and it declines to do so, Mr. Chadbourn will probably escape criminal proceedings. THE QALE OFF HATTERAS. Government Inspector Tells of Frightful Velocity of Wind Daring Hurricane. Lieutenant C. E. Johnson, of the TJ. S. Revenue Cutter service, who was sent from Washington for an in spection of the North Carolina coast, after the recent hurricane, in an inter view with a representative of the Washington Star says: "The hurricane attained frightful velocity in the vicinity of Cape Hat teras," said Lieut Johnston to a Star reporter to-day. "No one will pro bably ever know the real intensity of the storm. ax tne uaneras weacner bureau station the anemometer blew down while registering a wind velocity of 120 miles an hour, and one squall blew for a fraction of a minute at the rate of 160 miles an hour. Work incident to the moving of .the bell tower of the fire alarm system, by Superintendent Yates, caused the regular tapping of the gong yesterday. TOBACCO IN BLADEN. Large Consignment Yesterdsy For Ship ment to Wifsoa,N. C Wilmington's Need of a Warehouse. The Stab has upon several occasions referred to the advisability of the building of a tobacco warehouse and grading rooms in the city of Wilming ton in view of the ever increasing acreage in the plant in the territory contiguous to this port It has also from time to time published opinions from leading tobacconists in this and other States as to the adaptability of the soil hereabouts for the cultivation of this crop and urged upon growers, who complain of, the unprofitableness of other farming, to at least experi ment with the production of tobacco, the trade in which is fast building up towns and communities in other sec tions of the State. The force of the argument for a ware house in Wilmington was emphasized yesterday by the arrival on the steam boat Driver of over 20,000 pounds of leaf tobacco from the Tar Heel section of Bladen county, consigned to ware housemen in Wilson, N. C, a town that is making phenomenal strides in industrial progress by reason of its tobacco trade, coveringthis entire area of the State and adjacent territory in South Carolina. The shipments on the Driver yester day were from more than a dozen far mers in a section of Bladen that has heretofore raised tobacco on a very small scale. It was packed in boxes and hogsheads and transferred from the steamer's Jwharf to the Atlantic Coast Line for transportation to its destination. SUNDAY SERVICES. St Thomas' Church: First mass, 7 A.

Greensboro Record. Yesterday afternoon a negro wo man was tried in court for receiving stolen goods, knowing them to have been stolen, her husband having been convicted of theoffence. Major Stedman appeared for her and made a most capital speech before the jury. The evidence was somewhat against her, but counsel had the law on his side and he made it tell, so that the jury was out only a few minutes,' returning with a verdict of not guilty. The woman was then discharged. She came out of the prisoner's dock and made for the door. As soon as she saw daylight and perfect freedom just ahead of her, she threw off her bonnet and yelled ont "Bless Jesus and Major Stedman." This she re peated as fast as she could in a hyster ical manner until she was lost to sight, while the negroes tn the 'court room set up a titter, instantly stopped by Judge Brown. It was a pretty close shave. In fact most of the spectators thought she was guilty, but the law bearing on the case was prominently brought out by her attorney and she escaped. DIED.
