OFFICERS CHOSEN LAST NIGHT White Pateat Axle and Hub Company Has Perfected Its Organization Pros pects for the Future. At a meeting last night of the stock holders of the White Patent Axle and Hub Company, a charter for which was recently granted by the Secretary of State, the following directors were elected to serve for the ensuing year: Messrs. B. F. Keith, J. B. Mercer, F. P. White and I. Hogeland. The directors, after the conference of stockholders, met and elected the following officers: President B. F. Keith. Secretary and Treasurer. J. B. Mercer. Assistant Secretary C. F. Wilkin son. Superintendent F. P. White. A gentleman prominently connected with the company, in speaking of the prospects last night, said that the officers were now negotiating with parties in Wheeling, We3t Virginia, who are anxious to manufacture the patents on.an extensive scale. For the present, however, he said that the manufacture of the hub and axle would be carried on to a limited extent in this city. In short, he added, the patents have srreat promise for the future. An exhibit of the new ideas will be made at the National Carriage Dealer's Association which meets at the Grand Central Palace in New York October 19th and 20th. Present at the meeting of the association .will be representatives of leadiug carriage factories all over the United States and a few from for eign countries. NO NECESSITY FOR QUARANTINE. Capt. Ureen Returned Yesterday From His Southern Trip The Situation. Chief Quarantine Officer Green re turned yesterday afternoon on the W. C. &; A. train from a tour of in spection to Florence and along the line of railway between Charleston and Savannah, where he went to ac quaint himself with the current of travel and ascertain the best methods of putting into effect an impromptu quarantine against the yellow fever district in the event such a measure should later be deemed necessary by the health authorities to protect the public from an epidemic. He made his report to Superintend ent of Health, Dr. W. D. McMillan, yesterday afternoon, who was seen by a Star reporter soon afterwards. Dr. McMillan said that it is not the policy of the health board to declare a quarantine unless the necessity for such a measure is more patent. It is hardly probable ; in fact there are no instances on record where a yellow fever epidemic has prevailed along the Gulf coast and the South Atlantic coast simultaneously. The proximity of the season to frost also in a measure obviates the necessity for more strin gent action. Returned to Richmond. Mis3 Nellie Calder, who has been in the city the past several weeks, the guest of relatives, left ye3terday morn ing for her home in Richmond, much to the regret of her numerous ad mirara Durinir her stav here she has contributed greatly to the success of various events in whioh music has been a principal feature, either as rtloist or a duet sincer. Miss Calder certainly has great and wonderful vocal talent, and her many friends will be glad to learn that she has hen tendered a flvetvear scholarship and all expenses paid in one of the principal music conservatories or u-er- many. However, she has declined to acoept the offer, not caring to go upon the stage. To Attend Dewey Celebration. Governor Russell expects to leave Raleigh to attend the Dewey reception at New York on the morning of Sep tember 26th. Adjutant General Roy ster has been busy for several days sending out letters of invitation to all members of the Governor's staff to accompany him on the trip. General Royster says he is anxious to go if he can find it possible to get away. Morning WILMINGTON, N. C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER CONTRIBUTED FIFTY DOLLARS A Wilmlnrtonian's Generosity After Hear- In; Lieut. Failing's Report of Hat teras' Situation Here Yesterday. Lieutenant W. A. Failing, of the United States revenue marine service, passed through the city yesterday on a tour of inspection to the various life saving stations of this distriot which includes the Hatteras station which he has very recently visited. Lieutenant Failing describes the wreck and ruin wrought by the recent storm as appal -ing in the extreme. During his short visit of inspection to the life-saving station there he found thirty-nine small children who were made orph ans by the fearful loss of human life. It will be remembered that the wind blew so strong during the storm that the wind register was blown away but Lieutenant Failing saw where the register was 158 miles per hour before the apparatus was destroyed, and it hadn't attained its most furious stage then either. The great damage wrought by the storm, and especially the human suf fering occasioned by it, was so vivid ly described by Lieutenant Failing that one citizen was so deeply im pressed with the need for aid to the sufferers that he drew $50 from his pocket, presenting it to Lieutenant Failing, asking him to see that it was distributed among the sufferers to the best possible advantage, THE BIG RALLY AT PHOENIX. For Sufficient Reasons It Has Been Post poned Until October Third. The date for the big barbecue and meeting of Brunswick farmers for the purpose of organizing themselves into an industrial organization has been changed from September 19th to Tues day, October 3rd, on account of the inconvenience to rice growers, who will at the first named date be in the midst of their harvesting season and therefore unable to attend. As before stated, it is probable that the Woodmen of the World of the city will have their annual outing of one day at this time and it is further more than probable that a special train will be run to accommodate the large crowd from Wilmington which is ex pected to attend. The postponement will allow the committee further time to perfect their plans and with the additional time they hope to arrange for a poultry ex hibit from the leading fanciers of the State. TWO EXCURSIONS YESTERDAY. One From and Another to Wilmington Composed a Moving Throng. About 350 persons came to the city yesterday on B. R. Kine's excursion from Conway, S. C, and points this side. The train consisted of seven coaches and baggage car. The excur sionists, most of whom spent the day in the city, returned last evening at 7 o'clock over the W., C. & A. rail road. Few of them took in the beaches. Knight's colored excursion to Ra leigh returned yesterday morning at 3 o'clock. Upon arriving at the Cap ital City the crowd, which continued to enlarge as the excursion went up, numbered 1,150 persons and the four teen coaches of which the train con sisted had to be pulled into Raleigh by two of the Seaboard's big engines. Three coaches were well filled with white people, a number of whom went from Wilmington. Cotton Seed 011 Mill. The manufacturer's machinists are now engaged in placing a huge mod ern engine of many horse power at the mill of the North Carolina Cotton Oil Company at Hilton, to replace the one in use there for the past few years. The new engine is being installed pre paratory to the Fall and Winter busi ness, and the machinists hope to have everything in readiness to put the large plant in operation by the last of the month at least. The cotton seed market has opened at a fairly good price, and farmers who are selling early realize about $9 per ton, whereas at this time last year they received only $7. Moonlight Excursion. The last moonlight excursion under the auspices of the Second Regiment Band will be giyen on the steamer Wilmington to "The Rocks" and return Friday night, September 15th. The steamer will leave her wharf at the foot of Market street promptly at 8 o'clock and will arrive on the return at 11 P. M.

D Taylor, Clerk of the Superior Court, yesterday, the plaintiffs being Mr. Tho3. F. Bagley and Mr. W. E. Worth. Mr. Bagley will ask for damages to the amount of $500 approximately for alleged injury to his real estate at and near the northwest corner of Second and Ann streets by reason of an overflow of water at different times, occasioned by alleged improper street drainage and sewer connections in this vicinity. The public is already familiar with the case, Mr. Bagley having at different times presented bills in various amounts to the Board of Aldermen for this injury, all of which, by advice of attorneys, were either not acted upon or refused pay ment. Mr. Worth is plaintiff in the second suit, alleging that for the same reason his jce factory property and warehouse at and near corner of Second and Campbell streets, is damaged to an ap proximate amount of $5,000 by over flows incident to the poor drainage re ferred to.

At the threatre to night one of the best attractions of the season, "A Lady of Quality" by Miss Eugenie Blair, will, be presented and there is every indi cation that an audience worthy of the occasion will assemble, which means that the Opera House will be filled "from pit to roof." The following brief outline of the principal features of the play will not be amiss in this connection : "A Lady of Quality" treats of a great social problem Clorinda Wil dains, the character of the play so superbly played by Eugenie Blair grew up among stable boys and was the boon companion until she was fif teen, of a dissolute father and his drinking, swearing cronies. The play shows how a woman who thinks she can defy the world is, in the end, taught that she is simply a woman, through the all-conquering power of love. On the eve of her six teenth birthday, the play depicts her as having her last fling as a boy in the midst of her father's boon companions in his last drinkiDg bout. From that time on she is a lady of the strictest decorum and the most polished man ners. Other episodes which may be men -tioned are the delivery of a suggestion for the better training of Clorinda, to the angry father by the timid chap lain, Clorinda's last banquet as a boy, her sudden transformation from a boy into a dashing woman, her spurning of the villainous John Oxon, her train ing of Devil, the wildest horse in Lon don, the sudden and accidental death, by Clorinda's hand, of her taunting lover and death-bed scene of her sister. Miss Blair's costumes are exceedingly rich and beautiful. She will wear in all seven different costumes, her first appearance being in boy's clothes and later following a remarkably ingenius apparel of great beauty of design. WEDDING YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. Miss Evelya Alexander Happily Married to Mr. James S. King, of Wilmington. A pretty wedding was celebrated yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock at the home of Mrs. E. C. Woodbury, on Grace street, the happy and popular young couple being Miss Evelyn Lafayette Alexander, the talented daughter of Dr. L. L. Alexander, an influential practicing physician of Topsail Sound, and Mr. James Sidbury King, an efficient and valued employe of the Wilmington Street Railway, of this city. The ceremony was impressively and yery beautifully performed by Rev. John Stanly Thomas, after which an informal reception was given, at which refreshments were served to a few invited friends, who were present. Mr. and Mrs. King will reside in Wilmington. A Singular Request. Police headquarters had rather a singular visitor yesterday afternoon. The caller was a young negro about twenty years of ase, whose name could not be learned, and he came with a very unusual request. He said that while asleep at his home in the vicinity of Twelfth and Dock streets the night previous, "the spirit'' had appeared to him in a vision and re vealed to his mind the fact that in ex actly three years from that time the world will come to an end. He wanted permission to go forth and proclaim the prophecy on the streets, as he had been enjoined to do by "the spirit" in the vision he had experienced. He was referred by the hall officers to the Mayor, but he departed, saying that he would call around again to day for the permit so much desired. Awning Too Low. M. Greenboldt, a merchant on Front street, whose store is at the corner of an alley just north of the market house, was charged in Justice Fowl er's court yesterday with violation of Article 12, Sections 5 and 14, of the city ordinance, which relates to the construction of awnings in front of stores. The complaint was made by Hiram Moore, who. in an unguarded moment ran into the awning of Greenboldt, which he alleges was low er than the .heigth prescribed by law. The case was taken under advisement by Justice Fowler until to-morrow at 10 o'clock. John Williams, colored, submitted in Justice Fowler's court also yester day for disorderly conduct. Judg ment was suspended. Removal of Office. Mr. George W. Prince, the Wil mington district superintendent for the Life Insurance Company, of Vir ginia, will move his office to-day from apartments over Gerken's smoking emporium to an elegant suit of rooms in the new French building, corner Front and Princess streets. He has leased the three front rooms for a term of years. Observing "Yom Klppur." The observance of the day of atone ment, "Yom Kippur" by the Hebrews of this city, began at 6 o'clock yester day evening with a service at the Temple of Israel and will continue until 6 o'clock this "evening.
