A Norfolk Corporation Has Six Men ia the Field for Pine, Cypress and Oak. New Enterprise for Wllmlng too, Perhaps. The activity in the purchase of tim ber lands in Eastern North Carolina, which has been prevailing for the past several months, is now the subject of much interesting comment on the part of dealers and those interested in the up-building and developement of this section of the State. That Wilming ton will be the seat of several new and important enterprises in this line with in the next half year, seems to be a foregone conclusion. The increased prices and the active demand for liimoer of all grades, which has char acterized the market this year, has given an unprecedented stimulus to the timber trade in all; sections and lumber men are either securing op tions on or buying all the available lands in the entire territory contiguous to Wilmington. The port facilities here with other advantages for a lumber business is an item which prospectors will not be slow in discovering, when it comes to the location of their plants, and for this reason Wilmingto may expect some new and decided improvements in this respect, when several plans yet in their infancy are more fully ma tured. The Star has already referred to the large purchases of gum timber in Bladen county by the Acme Tea Chest Company of Glasgow, through its American representative, Mr. Will . L Miller, and much activity is now being displayed in the purchase of other woods, including pine, cypress, oak, etc., by the home mills, notable among them being the Hilton, Cape Fear and Bridgers and McKeithan Lumber Companies, as well as a number of outside dealers who are said to be backed by ample capital; in fact the buyers do not hesitate to pay spot cash for any desirable lands that may be offered. The principal buyer of Eastern North Carolina lumber at this time, outside of the local dealers, is the An gola Lumber Company, of Norfolk, Va., which has had for several weeks six buyers in Bladen, Pender and Onslow counties. They have secured options on and bought many thousand acres of yellow pine oak and cypress, and while it is not authoritatively stated, it is believed that it is the purpose of the Angola people to i locate one of theA- large mills at Wilmington. The Blade Lumber Company, of Newbern. is also said to be making ex tensive purchases as far down this way as the lower edge of Duplin county, but it is not probable that any mill will be located here by reason of the purchases of this concern, as it wHl be cheaper to ship timber to the home mill at Newbern for manu facture. Lumber people say there was never such eagerness for timber before on the part of so many dealers, who are disposed to pay good prices to the land owner and at the same time make terms so liberal. The past season has been a most profitable one with East ern North Carolina timber men and the f uture promises even greater things unless the unexpected happens. THAT PHOENIX JUBILEE. Probable That a Special Train Will be Ran Prom Wilmington. It seems that right elaborate ar rangements are being made for the grand rally and basket picnic at Phoe nix oa next Saturday. As previously announced, there are to be several speeches by prominent citizens, and it will be a regular gala day for the peo ple of that section. 1 An effort, which bids fair to suc ceed, is on foot to have a special tram from Wilmington run under the auspices or tne wooamen 01 me World, of this city. There are fifteen candidates for initiation into the mys teries of the order of Woodmen, and new lodge will very probably be established there. The special object of the rally and picnic if to increase interest in the to bacco industry which is already as suming considerable proportions, and Phcenix bids fair to establish quite a market. !

The chief matter Jbf public interest before the meeting of the Board of Hospital Managers yesterday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock was the submission and approval of the monthy statement of Dr. Bolles, superintendent of the in institution. The report shows that 31 patients were treated during the month. Of this number 19 were white and 12 col ored; 8 were pay patients and 23 charity ; 22 came from the city and nine from the country.

He was also instructed to sell the old material of the building to best advantage, and to receive pro posals for painting the roofs of the other hospital buildings. The meeting adjourned, subject to call of the chairman. HATCH BROS.' LAST EXCURSION. Arrived Here Prom Dunn Yesterday With Nearly Five Hundred Passengers. An excursion, under the manage ment of Messrs. Hatch Bros., from Dunn and intervening points arrived here at about 12:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon with 8 coaches. There were between 400 and 500 excursionists. They went through to the beach and came back to the city about 4:30 o'clock. A large number of excur sionists went down to Carolina Beach on the 5 o'clock boat, the Wilmington making an extra return trip especially for the accommodation of the excursionists. When the crowd reached the Market street dock, a little past 5 o clock, tne steamer had already left the wharf and was some distance down the river, Captain Harper supposing that the Seacoast train would not reach the city in time for the excursionists to catch the boat However, the boat was signalled and returned to take on the crowd. They returned in time to leave for Dunn on the return trip about 8 o'clock last night. It is understood that this will bi the last excursion Messrs. Hatch Bros, will bring to Wilmington this season. The Weather. Wilmington continues "to lead the row in the record for the lowest maxi mum temperature of any town in this district of the Weather Bureau service, despite the fact that many men "in their warmth" have been tempted during the past two or three hot, sultry days to rise up and call the big gov ernment thermometer at the top of the postoffice building a fabricator of the first water. The figures are against them, how ever, for nere are the registers at tne different points in the district for the 24 hours ending at 8 o'clock yesterday morning: Wilmington, 90; Charlotte, 94; Cheraw, 98; Florence, 92; Golds boro, 92; Greensboro, 90; Lumber ton, 93; Newbern, 93; Raleigh, 92. Receipts of Cotton. The receipts of cotton lor the week ending yesterday, which is the first of the crop year, were 4,241 bales against only 855 bales received during the cor responding period last year. The crop is forward at least ten days and parties who came to th9 city from the up county yesterday say the weather is .very dry and hot and the bolls are opening rapidly much faster in fact, than farmers can secure hands to have cotton gathered. The receipts yesterday were much arger than for any previous day in the new crop year. Rev. W. B. Oliver. The Florence Times of Thursday has the following item of interest regard ing Rev. W. B. Oliver, former pastor of the First Baptist Church of this city : "The regular church conference of the Baptist church was held Sunday and a unanimous call was extended to the Rev. W. B. Oliver, D. D., to suc ceed Dr. Moseley. Dr. Oliver is now at his home in Virginia. He is well known and loyed in Florence, having upon numerous occasions filled the nulDit of the Baptist church.

Willey Will be Her Com mander Now Having Bilge Keel Placed The New Wharf. Indications now are that Wilming ton will have a revenue cutter,, for this port and district of the Atlantic coast not later than October 15tb, and it is, ss Star readers are aware, settled that the cutter assigned here will be the Algon quin. In discussing the matter yester day afternoon with a member of the Star staff Capt. Robt. M. Clark, of the revenue cutter service, said that he is reasonably sure that the Algonquin will be here not later than October 15th, with Captain S. O. Willey in command. The Algonquin attended the G. A. -R. demonstration at Phila delphia and proved herself in a thor ough sea-going condition; but it has been decided that before she is sent here for regular service it will be best for the vessel to be provided with a bilge keel to prevent her from rolling excessively in the breakers. This is now being placed. The bilge is about eighteen inches, and is about two feet belbw the water line. Capt. Clark arrived here yesterday morning on business connected with the construction of the new Govern ment wharf on Water street between Princess and Market, the contractor for which is Geo. H. Howe, colored it is expected that there will be no further delays of consequence in the construction of the new wharf, the de lay during the past few days being due to tile great difficulty in securing the necessary timbers.. Capt. Clark, how ever, now has the assurance of Howe and the timber contractor that suffi cient timbers for the regular prosecu tion of the work will be provided daily. Capt. Clark will remain in the city in specting the work for a week or more He is a guest of The Orton. 'A LADY OF QUALITY. Advance Agent for the Eugenia Company in the City. Blair Mr. Henri Gressitt, advance agent for the Eugenia Blair Company, pre senting ?A Lady of Quality," is in the city arranging for the engagement for this standard attraction at the Wil mington Opera House on next Thurs day evening, September 14th. This will be the second theatrical event of the season and will certainly attract a large and fashionable audience. Wilmington theatre goers will be glad to learn that there will ba no ad vance in the price of tickets, despite the fact that everywhere else the price charged is $1.50. The charge for tickets here will be $1.00, for the reason that the Opera House management has succeeded in securing this concession since the at traction was booked. Will Arrive To-day. Mrs. Howard Caldwell, wife of the secretary of the Wilmington Young Men's Christian ' Association, will arrive here on the 12.05 S. A. L. train this afternoon from a protracted visit to relatives in Clinton, S. C.

Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell will reside in future with Mrs. Joe Mitchell at No. 7 South Fourth street. The September Race. Next Friday, the 15th inst., has been selected as the date for the September race by the Carolina Yacht Club. It is not probable that there will be a dance at night, the only feature of the. day being the race, which will be held probably about 4:30 o'clock. While no official announcement has been made it is understood, and a Star representative was so informed last night, that the club house will close for the season after the race, proba bly on the same day.
