Fonrteen-Year-Old Son of Mr. E. V. Rich ards Missing Since Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. E. V. Richards were much distressed yesterday over the mysterious disappearance of their son, Ernest aged 13 years, who had not been seen or heard of since Saturday afternoon 5 o'clock. Mr. Richards notified the police Sat urday night of the disappearance of the little fellow, but all the patrol men reported that nothing had been seen or heard of the boy, though they . had kept a strict lookout for him everywhere. Mr. Richards at first suspicioned that his son had run away to join the circus which passed through the city last week, but he said late yesterday afternoon that 'after diligent inquiry he was reasonably sure that he did not go this way. Mr. Richards then feared that he embarked on the British steamship Baron Douglas, which cleared this port for Bremen early Sunday morning; but last night, through the kindness of Mr. B. H. Marshall, of the Atlantic Coast Line, Mr. Richards learned from a private telegram from Superintendent W. N. Royall, of the South Carolina divi sion of the Atlantic Coast Line, that his son was at Monck's Corner, six miles from Charleston, and that he was accompanied by another Wil mington boy, named Sugg, who is a nephew of Mr. W. H. Scarboro, of this city. Mr. Richards, with Mr. Scarboro, is making arrangements to go for the boys to-day, who say now that they are very anxious to return. Cotton and Naval Stores.

Receipts yesterday were 2,408 bales, against 4,778 on the cor responding date last year. The price on the same day last year was only 5 cents, which is a difference in favor of the farmer this year of 2 cents. Liberal Contribution. At Grace M. E. Church on Sunday morning, in response to an appeal by the pastor, Rev. A P. Tyer,' a collec tion amounting to $185 was taken up for the fund for the superannuated preachers and the widows and orphans of deceased preachers of the North Carolina Conference. No previous notice had been given that such a col lection would be lifted, and as it was the third special collection called for in the past five weeks, the handsome response speaks in eloquent terms of the liberality of the congregation.

Dr. Blackwell preached at the morn ing service from- the j theme, "The Throne Can Only be Reached on Our Knees," which was based on the scrip ture text, "I will go in unto the king," which is found in the last verse of the fourth chapter of Esther, and was a forceful presentation of Bible truth to tbe Christians and the unsaved alike. Interest in the meeting was un abated yesterday, and both services were marked by a large attendance. The subject of Dr. Blackwell's ser mon last night was "How can a man be just with God;" and Mr. Wolf sohn, the celebrated chorister, who is adding materially to the meeting with his sweet singing, rendered the solo "My Mother's Prayer." i The song service at i the meetings Sunday was by a special choir under direction of the chorister, Mr. Wolf sohn. Prof. A. H. Yopp served as pianist during the, services, and added much to that part of the worship. The meetings will be continued dur ing the week with services at 10 A. M. and 8 P. M.

The police made six arrests as follows: Geo. Williams, Ed. Thomp son, Wm. Murphy, Charles Robin son, Ed. McNeill and Henry Mc Queen, all colored. Press Representative cowan. Mr. - James H.
