The startling information is sent to Philadelphia papers that New York will be struck by a famine when the Dewey performance begins and can neither feed nor lodge one half the strangers who are expected on that occasion. A good many of them will take their provisions along and lodge in the market house or calaboose. . VOL. LXIV.-NO. 149. LOCAL DOTS. Capt. White had the regular monthly inspection and drill of the Wilmington Light Infantry last night. Mr. N". F. Parker, the Front street progressive furniture merchant has recently had some improvements made in the interior of his store. The regular monthly meeting of the Board of directors of the Mer chant's Association is called for this afternoon at 3 o'clock in their office in the S. A. Li. building, Front street. Manuel Hagget, colored, was. arrested yesterday afternoon by the police for carrying on scavenger work without license. His offence will be passed upon by the Mayor this morn ing. It will be no surprise to the Star if, three years hence, over half the land on and near the line of the Wil mington and Weldon railroad now devoted to strawberries is planted in tobacco. The British tramp steamer South Africa, loaded with cotton by Messrs. Alexander Sprunt & Son, reference to which was made in yes terday's Star, went to sea for Bremen yesterday morning. Work on the government wharf at the foot of Princess street has been resumed and the construction is now progressing very satisfactorily. The want of a supply of lumber has been the cause of the delay hitherto. A worthy tramp, Emanuel Muller, had to be arrested .by the police yesterday for begging on tLe streets. He says he wants to find his way back to his old home in Switzer land. He is being well cared for at headquarters. A private letter received this week from Homer J. Clark, Esq., re ceiver of the old First National Bank of Wilmington, says that a final divi dend of one per cent, on the liabili ties of the bank will be paid within a few weeks. A letter received from Dr. Strange, the beloved rector of St. James' Episcopal church, this week, says there is a probability of his re turning to the city next Friday, 15th inst He is at present on a visit to Mrs. Strange 's parents at Lawrence ville, Va. Giddy Jordan, colored and well known to the police, was arrested by Policeman Smith yesterday and placed in the city prison, charged with the larceny of some wearing ap parel from Mat Taylor, also colored. The case will be investigated by Mayor Waddell this morning. Spirits turpentine was a little stronger on the local market yester day and there were sales at 4344 cents, an advance of one-fourth of a cent over the quotations of the pre ceding several days. The receipts were only 36 casks yesterday and the tone of the market remained steady. City tax collecting is progress ing very satisfactorily with Assistant Clerk and Treasurer White, though the books have not yet been formally received. Sheriff MacRae, who has the county booils, says he is doing a rather dull business thus far, but hopes for better things in the future. Yesterday's receipts of new crop cotton were 3,066 bales the largest of the season by over one thousand bales. Three extra trains on the W. 6. & A. road brought in 2,578 bales of this amount. The receipts on the corresponding date last year were 1,162 bales and the price was 5J cents for middling. Celestia Jones, colored, was tried in Justice McGowan's court yes terday for assault and battery with a deadly weapon. The evidence would not admit of probable cause and she was dismissed. She was then tried for disorderly conduct, but as the case was trivial she was dismissed upon payment of costs. Dink Holmes, Henry Gause, Augusta James and Sam Jones, all colored people, figured in the police court yesterday morning'. Holmes was fined $5 for disorderly conduct; Gause was discharged for the same offence, and the Other two offenders were transferred to Justice McGowan, who subsequently released them. The tug Alexander Jones, of the Cape Fear River Towinc and Transportation Company, in charge of Capt. Pinner, cleared this port yester day afternoon with a crew of fif teen seamen for Savannah, Ga. She will be away for about a month and will be engaged for a part of the time in towing cattle barges to Cuban ports. The handsome residence of Chief Schnibben, of the Fire Depart ment, corner of Fourth and Dock streets, will be completed within a few days. The chief will move his family up from Carolina Beach some time this week, when the building is ready for occupancy. Superintendent of Fire Alarm Yates is now engaged in fitting the building with the apparatus necessary. A runaway horse, belonging to Mr. Thomas Millis, of Harrison's Creek, and attached to a cart afforded excitement for a number of people along the line of Seventh to Dock and Fourth to Grace streets yesterday morning. He demolished the cart and a brick fence at the northeast cor ner of Fourth and Princess streets, and was at length halted by Fireman Edwards, of Engine Co. No. 1. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. S. W.

Afternoon to the Wil mington Iron Works. $326.66 PER MILE THE PRICE. County Commissioners Disposed of the Matter at Meetlaj Yesterday Re port From dpt. Barry, the New Road Superintendent. The contract for the construction of the seven miles of line fence between New Hanover and Pender counties made necessary by the introduction by legislative enactment of the stock law into New Hanover, was awarded at a meeting of the County Commis sioners yesterday afternoon to the Wilmington Iron Works at $326.66 per mile, the same to be constructed of the American Steel and Wire Com pany's consolidated field fencing and the whole completed not later than December 10th of the present year. There were a number of other bids for the contract, among them being from Mr. W. A. Strauss, at 80 cents per rod and Mr. G. W. Westbrook, but the commissioners present, Col. Roger Moore, chairman, and Messrs. Alexander and McEachern, decided that the bid of the Iron Works was the lowest and at the same time it was made more in accordance with the specifications by which bids were in vited. There were a number of quo tations of different styles of fencing from leading manufacturers all over the United States, but none was in the proper shape to be considered by the board. Messrs. James Cowan and C. C. Bordeaux offered to furnish black cypress posts according to specifica tions and distribute them along the line of the fence for twenty-five cents each and to open a right of way twelve feet for fence at $20 per mile. Upon motion of Mr. Alexander, it was ordered that the successful bidder be requested to clear the undergrowth three feet around each post and to execute a bond in the sum of $1,000 for the faithful completion of the contract according to the specifications aod resolutions of the board. The specifications stipulate that the fence is to be five feet high including barbed wire at the bottom with twelve inch stays. The posts are to be of b'ack cypress with one fiat surface, buried two feet in the ground and six teen and one-half feet apart The bot tom of the fence is to be "hog proof" barbed wire. The upper section of the 'fence wire to be used was exhibited in front of the court house yesterday by the Iron Works, together with that sub mitted by other bidders. Surveyor W. M. Hansley was ordered to survey 200 acres more or les3 of certain vacant lands in Harnett township laid claim to by H. J. Bier man. The action of the chairman in ac cepting the bond of Capt. Barry as road superintendent 'in the sum of $3,000 with the American Bonding and Trust Company of Baltimore city, was approved. Col. J no. D. Taylor, Clerk of the Superior Court, reported havine paid into the county treasury for the school fund, $25 corporation fee re ceived from the White Patent Axle and Hub Company. The meeting was called together at 2.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon and the adjournment was taken subject to th e call of the chairman. Capt Barry's First Report. An interesting feature of the meet ing of the board was the report of Capt Jno. Barry, the new road su perintendent, which was verbal. He said that he had inspected five of the leading thoroughfares of the county with a view to putting in some thorough work later. The Castle Hayne road is, he said, in the best condition of the five gone over, but some repair is needed along the stretch from Smith's Creek bridge to the rail road crossing. The Scott's Hill road is in need of ditching and ballasting. The "New" Grenfield road is also in need of ditching. The old Federal Point road is also in bad condition. The road to Masonboro is in good condition, but three bridges along its course are badly in need of repairing; in fact they are now almost unsafe. Weat Down With the Austria. Aboard the British ship Austria, Captain Dexter, which with all hands was lost while on a voyage from Mo bile to Belfast, Ireland, some time ago, was a young colored man of Wil mington, John G Hargrave, a stew ard on the vessel, who is a son of John A. Hargrave, a well-to-do and respectable colored man of this city. Numerous inquiries as to the fate of young Hargrave have been made by his anxious father but nothing that would contradict the logical supposi tion that he with the other members of the crew went down, has been re- ceived. A Moonlight" Excursion. It is very probable that the Second Regiment Band will give the last moonlight excursion of the season down the river on the steamer Wil mington on Friday evening of this week. Definite announcement will be made to-morrow. The boat is to leave at 8 o'clock, going probably to "The Rocks" and returning at 11 o'clock. If you wish to sell a farm or city property place it in the hands of the East Carolina Real Estate Agency. R. Q. Grady & Co., Burgaw, N. O. Morning WILMINGTON, N. C, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER L'ARIOSO AND L'AQILE CLUBS. Will Meet Soon to Arrange Germans of Comlnr Season New Waltz and Two-Step Styles. It is very probable that within the next week or ten days both L' Arioso and L'Agile german clubs of this city will hold their annual meetings for the election of officers and making arrangements for the coming season, it being the practice of both clubs to give the first dances of the season during October of each year and give them regular each month of the season. It will be of interest to note in this connection the following from the New York World of September 9th. "No more will there be clasping of hands in round dances. The Amer ican Society of Professors of Dancing has placed its disapproval on the long prevailing custom. "Hereafter in the waltz and two step the woman will manage her skirts with her right hand, while the man will allow his left hand to hang nat urally by his side. No other attitude will be considered good form. "The official description applying to all round dances is that the gentleman holds the lady by the waist with his right hand, his left hand falling nat urally by his side ; the left hand of the lady rests upon the gentleman's upper arm, her right hand lightly holding the dress. . "The society also adopted the 'Im perial Three-Step ;' the 'Gavotte Pom padour,' a stately dance adapted from the time of Mme. Pomdadour; 'The Netherland,' a waltz, and the 'Verona Minuet' " A NEW MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISE Boat Factory Will be Built by Contractor Tyler for Emanuel Garcia. Contractor Thad F. Tyler yesterday closed a trade and began arrangements for the building of a boat factory at the foot of Queen street for Emanuel Garcia, the well known ship carpen ter, who has probably constructed more pleasure and river commercial boats for the lower Cape Fear than any other man now living. The building will be a frame one, 20x80 feet in size and will have a metal roof. Mr. Garcia will equip the fac tory with the latest and most up to date machinery for the construction of fast sailing yachts and other craft required by the trade of Wilmington. A part of the machinery has already arrived and another lot is expected by the time the building is ready for oc cupancy, which will be but a short time. Justice Fowler's Court. John Ellerbee, the young negro who sometime ago shot and it was thought at one time seriously wounded Tom Brooks in a disturbance on corner Sixth and Castle streets, was arraign ed in Justice Fowler's court yesterday afternoon charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Ellerbee voluntarily surrendered himself to Constable Shee han, and as Brooks, the prosecutor, testified that the shooting was purely accidental and he had the corrobora tion of other witnesses, the case had to be dismissed. He will, however, be tried by Justice Fowler Thursday at 12 o'clock on the charge of" carrying a concealed weapon. Eli Russell was also before Justice Fowler yesterday for damage to real estate jerking palings from a yard fence. Judgment was suspended on payment of cost and upon condition that he repair the damage. Funeral of Mrs. Bate. Yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, from the family residence, No. 606 North Fifth street, the funeral of Mrs. Rosa Irene Bate, wife of Mr. W. R. Bate, whose death was announced in yester day's papers, was held in the presence of a large assemblage of friends and sorrowing relatives. From the resi dence the remains were tenderly car ried to St Thomas' Pro-Cathedral, where requiem mass was said. The interment was at Oakdale, where there was also a larce attendance of friends, many of whom laid beautiful floral tributes on the grave in testi mony of the love and esteem in which the deceased lady was held. The pall bearers were: Capt Jno. J. u'urlong, Messrs. Dan Quinlivan, Wm. Sheehan, Jr., Martin Schnibben, Walter Le Gwin and Wm. Coleman. Rare Pulpit Eloquence. The Wilson correspondent of the Raleigh Post has the following com plimentary reference to Rev. James Thomas, a brother of Rev. John Stanly Thomas, who is so universally popular in Wilmington: "Those who attended services in the Presbyterian Church Sunday night enjoyed a rich and sumptuous intel lectual feast; for the scholarly pastor, the Rev. Mr. Thomas, preached one of the best tenderest, sweetest, most comforting sermons that this writer has ever heard. In the very begin ning of the sermon, like some master musician, who lays the palm of his hand across the strings of his instru ment to soften and mellow their vibrations, so Mr. Thomas, with his first utterance, laid the impress of his genius and his passion upon all hearts, and softened their throbing waves into gentlest and sweetest ripplings." Wallace's Big Show. Huge bill boards of several thousand square feet area were placed by car penters yesterday at the corner of Orange and Front -And at the corner of Third and Princess streets. In a few days these will be flaming with gorge ous pictures and advertising matter descriptive of Wallace's big circus, which will exhibit here October 6th, and the "coon" and small boy will be in the hey-day of their delight An other large board will be constructed at the corner of Grace and Front streets to-day. The advertising and bill posting cars of the show were at Newborn Monday and at Kinston yesterday. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Mr. M. C. Elliott returned from Goldsboro last evening., . Mrs. J. J.

Summary of Advantages Offered Young Men by the Wilmington V. M. C. A. "Are you with us?" is the title of a neatly printed booklet dedicated to the young men of Wilmington. It is a "prospectus," or more exactly speaking a summary of the advan tages offered during the present year by the Young Men's Christian Asso ciation. It contains a concise state ment of the work carried on in the building and a systematic arrange ment of the privileges offered, which among other very desirable features include the Night School, the Star and Popular Courses of entertain ments, the physical department, em ployment bureau, baths, reading room, library, etc. There are several excellent cuts, giving exterior and interior views of the association build ing. The Star is informed that a very encouraging start has been made to ward the securing of 200 new mem bers during the winter of 1899-1900. Future of the Cotton Market. Savannah News: There is a feeling here that cotton ought to be higher, and the probabilities are that it will be. Six months ago the iron market was sluggish. The average price of pig iron was $10 per ton. Now it is $21, and the price is still moving up ward. There has been no falling off in the production. In fact,' more pig iron was produced in this country last year than in any previous year. But suddenly the demand for it began to increase, and then the price went up with leaps and bounds. The demand for cotton goods is steadily increasing, and the price of them is increasing. It cannot be very long, therefore, before the increased consumption of cotton goods will cause a rise in the price of cotton. It is not safe to make predic tions as to what the price of cotton will be a month, or two or three months hence, but it would not be surprising if those who hold on to their cotton should get more for it three months hence than they can get now. Urandson of John Marshall. A dispatch from Richmond, Va., ay: The body of Mr. Wade, the me chanical engineer who was drowned Saturday while bathing near Wilming ton, N. C, was brought to Richmond and buried from St James' Episcopal Church. Mr. Wade was a grandson of Chief Justice Marshall. He lived for a time with his sisters in the old Marshall house here, on Ninth and Marshall streets. He was a son of Dr. Wade, the rector of old Western Church, on lower James river. Star 13, 1899. EDUCATIONAL RALLY HELD LAST NIGHT. Able Addresses by Dr. Blackwell and Col. Waddell Other Talks The Musi cal Programme. There was a large attendance upon the educational rally held last night in the auditorium of the Young Men's Christian Association and the pro gramme was all that could be desired. Mr. W. M. Cumming presided over the meeting and the addresses of Dr. Blackwell and Col. A. M. Waddall combined with interesting talks by Rev A. D. McClure and Prof. Harnley and excellent musical programme in pro viding an intellectual feast such as is rarely afforded. Dr. Black well's address was a logi cal and beautifully worded presentation of the present situation from an edu cational view point, the responsibility resting upon the people of this the latter end of the Ninteenth century in preparing the rising generation to develop into the brainy and cultured men and women who will be needed to keep pace With the strides of commer cial and social progress of the Twen tieth century. It was a practical, and eloquently delivered address Col. Waddell emphasized in his usual fluent and interesting way the importance of the study of American history, and Rev. A. D. McClure fol lowed with a well received reference to the work proposed to be done by the Y. M. C. A. Night School. Prof. Harnley was also introduced and made quite an interesting talk. The musical feature of the pro gramme consisted of several delight fully rendered selections by some of Wilmington's most popular singers. The first was "Savior When Night Involves the Skies," rendered by a quartette, consisting of Mrs. W. L. Latta, soprano; Mrs. J. D. Smith, alto; Mr. C. H. Cooper, tenor, and Mr. A. S. Holden, baritone. Mrs. E. T. Woody and" Miss Nellie Calder elicited an enthusiastic encore by their rendering of "Oh, Morning Land." And Mr. A. S. Holden sang with his usual excellence of tone and accent, "One Day Nearer Home." . Announcement was made at the con clusion of the programme that a meet ing will be held on next Tuesday night in the Association building for the pur pose of organizing the night school.

To-morrow night Miss Eugenie Blair will present "A Lady of Quality" at the Opera House. The box sheet opens at Gerken's this morning. It is conceded that a very large audience will witness the presentation of this popular play. The company of players supporting Miss Blair is one of the strongest and best equipped on the road, being selected personally by the star with out consideration of money. No little time was spent by Miss Blair on the selection, for being a born actress and artistic she studied each person and their merit before engagement, with a result that every performance has been perfect and acknowledged by the critics as the best in which Miss Blair has ever been seen. The success of the play at Wallack's Theatre broke the record at that popular New York house. A Congressman's Immunity. Florence Times;ilth: In July 1898 papers in the case; of Worth & Worth against Hon. Jas. Norton were served on the congressman in this city. His attorney claimed that being a' Con gressman he was exempted from the service of such processes. The case went to the Supreme court and a decision has just been rendered. The decision of the lower court, which sustained the plea of exemption, was set aside by the opinions of the ma jority of the Supreme court. The opinion of the court by Justice Pope was therefore overruled. It was held by the justices that the notice of civil action was not an arrest as was con templated under the constitution. To City Subscribers. City subscriDers are earnestly re quested to report promptly at the Stab office every failure of the carriers to deliver their papers. In all such cases steps will be taken to insure promp and regular delivery. WHOLE NO. 10,007 Mr. Geo. Sloan's Return. Mr. Geo.
