The damage to the First Bap- . : t .i i m. , , . . ust ouurcu oy luesaay s storm is probably $20C. One of the ornaments on the steeple was blown off and crashed into'the slate roof. The regular monthly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce will be held at 3.30 o'clock this afternoon at the Chamber's new quartervin the Seaboard Air Line building. The sand trap of Jacob's Run, just south of the court house, caved in a few days ago and a part of the street workmen'have been engaged for the past two days in repairing it. A team of horses attached to the city trash wagon ran away un Princess street from Second and up Second to the City Hall yesterday af ternoon, but were stopped before any damage was done. The government dredge Ajax, which had to suspend work on Wil mington shoals for Tuesday's storm, resumed operations yesterday. The tug Cynthia is towing away the scows as fast as they are filled. The guaranteed regular every day circulation of The Morning Star much larger than that of any other daily newspaper published in Wil mington. This cla m has never been challenged by any competing news paper. The Southport cable of the Pos tal Telegraph Company, across the river at Market dock, was found yes terday to have been broken during the storm. Telegraphic communication with Southport is still cut off, though linemen are at work to repair the dam A gentleman who was in the city yesterday, told the Star that Mr. W II. Willis,of Onslow county, had the frame of a fine residence blown 'down by Tuesday's storm. The building. when completed, would have cost up-. wards of $3,000 and, as it was, the loss is very heavy.

Tom Means the young negro who went violently insane Sunday night in front of TheOrton House, will be taken this morning in charge of his father, Cornelius Means, an influen tial colored man of Charlotte, to Golds bo ro where he will be placed in the insane asylum for the colored race in that city. Touag Means, since he has been confined in the city prison has become more violent and had to be placed in a safe cell. He refused to wear clothing and has several times . torn every vestige of his garments from his person. He has eaten comparatively nothing in several days and spends a major portion of the time wildlv dashing to and fro in his cell, all the while' raying as loud as his impaired strength will allow. He frequently quotes from the Bible alternating to the most blasphemous curses. The scene is indeed a pitiable one. Seacosst Trsla This Mornisg. Capt R. O. Grant, Superintendent of the Wilmington Seacoast Railroad, announces that this morning the usual 10 o'clock train will be run to Wrights -ville and that at the Sound there will be boats for charter to all who may wish to go oyer to the beach to see the ruins of Tuesday's storm.

The Star's acccount of the de3truc tion wrought at Wrightsville Beach oy nionaay s ieanui. storm was so nearly accurate, that an inspection of the beach by a reporter yesterday re vealed very little more to be added to the story. Havoc at Carolina Beach. The calamity at Carolina Beach was even greater than reported. Telephone connection had been cut off and as the beach could not be reached, nothing definite could be secured for publica tion yesterday morning. The most intense anxiety was felt by the cottage owners, and many of them went to the beach yesterday, ex pecting, however, to find little to give them hope. A party went down in a wagonette, others went in buggies, and some went on the steamer Wil mington and reached the beach from the pier by means of a hand car. Among those who went down were Major D. O'Connor.and Messrs. J. A. Springer. H. C. McQueen. J. C. Stevenson, D. McEachern, Major Croom, G. W. Linder, J. J. Fowler, A. D. Brown, R. C. Stolter, J. G. L. Gieschen, Dr. Webster, and others.

The loss sustained by the New Han over Transit Company amounts to between $2 500 and $3,000. This in eludes the hotel. Wrightsville Sound Trestle. Mr. George R. French, president of the Wilmington Seacoast Railway, went to Wrightsville yesterday to look after the company's trestle from Wrightsville to the Hammocks. It has been decided to rebuild the trestle at once, and twenty five hands were put to work on the trestte, first re moving the debris piled upon the benches and tracks. The work on the trestle will be pushed as rapidly as possible. Men were busy with carts yesterday, clearing away the wreckage along the turnpike. Capt. Oscar Grant, general superin tendent of the road, is going to do his best to get the trestle rebuilt in a few weeks. The trains at 10 o'clock yesterday morning and at 3 P. M. carried down a large number of people, who went to see the wreck at Wrightsville Beach Many went over the, sound in boats, while others walked the wrecked trestle. Vessels Probably Lost. Mr. M. L. White, of Lock wood's Folly, was in the city yesterday and gave the Star a welcome call. He re ports that the storm was quite severe at Lock wood's Folly. He states that the two masted schooner Stonetcall, bound from Wilmington to Lock wood's Folly with a full cargo of mer chandise, is believed to be lost with her captain and crew. Captain Lucien Holden is master of the vessel. She got into Shallotte river during the storm Monday afternoon but was im mediately blown out to sea with all on board. Mr. White also tells the Star that the two-masted schooner Spray, own ed by Captain A. A. Milliken, was to tally wrecked in Shallotte river. The two-masted schooner Ruth J., Capt. K.T. Willis, at Lockwood's Folly, was blown into Capt. Alfred Brown's field, about 200 yards beyond high water mark. Mr. W. A. Rourk informs the Star that the two-masted schooner Stella Lee, belonging to Mr. J. W. Brown, and commanded by Capt. William Williamson, is missing. She left Lockwood's Folly Monday for Wil mington and that was the last seen of her. UNITED STATES COURT. Cases Tried Yesterday for ViolalioiTof the Internal Revenue Laws The Court To-day.

Bridges Gone Prom Over Causeway of the Perry Company Vehicles Cannot Pass Before Monday. The territory just across the river in Brunswick county did not escape the evil effects of Tuesday's morning's storm, and it will be several days until farmers in that vicinity can mar ket their produce or get to the city in vehicles. Col. Walker Taylor, president of the Brunswick Bridge and Ferry Com pany, yesterday went across the river to look after his interest along the causeway leading to Brunswick river. The bridge across Alligator Creek, about one mile from the city, is par tially wrecked. It is about two hun dred feet long and about half of the timoers are gone. What is known as the "Rice Field bridge" further down the causeway is also impassable. It is about twenty five feet long. The long bridge across Brunswick river is also partially destroyed, one span of it being impassable. In a card in to-day's Star the Ferry Comjany announces to its patrons that the qauseway will be impassable by vehicles until Monday, November 6th. Temporary arrangements, how ever, have been effected by which pedestrians can cross safely. Work men have already begun repairing the damage to bridges and Col. Taylor is making every effort to accommodate travellers in vehicles from this direc tion as quickly as possible. Yesterday Col. Taylor chartered the little tug F and F, went around Eagle Island by way of Navassa and brought around the produce of those who had come to Brunswick river ex pecting to cross over into the city. MAYOR'S COURT YESTERDAY. Many Federal Court Attendants Figured Therein Negro Who Was "Robbed." Most of the offenders in the Muni cipal Court yesterday were up coun try people, who came down as wit nesses in the Federal Court The following cases were given a hearing: J. R Maynor. colored, drunk and disorderly ; fined $5. J. S. Brown, drunk and down; fined $5. Alex. Evele, colored, drunk and down ; fined $5. hi. a. Moore, drunk and down: fined $5. Tom Branch, drunk and down; ten days. Wm. McDougall, colored, drunk; fined $5 McDougall was yesterday picked up by an officer wandering: about the streets minus most of his clothing. He came down to attend the Federal Court and when landed at the station house he stated that he had been robbed of his wearing apparel. It later appeared that he had crawled upon the back porch of the residence of Capt. S. W. Skinner on Oranee be tween 6th and 7th streets, Tuesday night and had there, partly disrobed himself and went to sleep. Early yes terday morning he woke and in his drunken stupor wandered into the streets. Capt. Skinner found the negro's clothing on his back porch when he arose yesterday morning and was unable to solve the mystery of how they got there until he heard of the case in the police court, when the robbed" clothes were restored to the owner. ANOTHER INVITATION TO ATLANTA. Wilmington Light Infantry Asked to Par ticipate in Schley Reception Nov. 4th. Capt C. H. White, of the Wilming ton Light Infantry (Company C, of the State Guard), yesterday received the following telegram, which is self- explanatory: Raleigh, N.;C, Nov. 1st, 1899. Capt. C. H. White, Co. C, Wilming ton: Tou are personally invited to be the euest of the city of Atlanta during the occasion of the grand military parade and brilliant civic pageant on Novem ber 4th. in honor of Rear Admiral Schley, and your company is invited to participate in the parade. If you accept this invitation wire such ac ceptance to Gen. Byrd, of Atlanta, for particulars regarding inducements and additional attractions. This invi tation is sent by Gen. Clement A. Evans. B. S. Rotster, Adjutant General. As the date upon which the attend ants) is desired is so near, it will De impossible for Capt White or any of his company to accept For the same reason the W. L. I. was forced to de cline a similar invitation to visit At lanta upon the occasion of the "Brumby reception" several weeks ago. Meigs Sisters Friday Night The Meigs Sisters, the celebrated vocal quartette, of New York, the first of the Star Course of entertainments at the Y. M. C. A., will appear at the auditorium to-morrow nieht Seats may be checked after 9 o'clock this and to-morrow morning. The New Orleans Times-Democrat says of the entertainment: "The Meiers Sisters are beyond dis pute the finest .lady quartette in the country. Three melodious voices, blended in exa uisite harmonies, went straight to the hearts of their hearers. The singing, artistic in its perfection, appealed as strongly to the judgment of the critic as to the sense of the lay man and delighted every one. Returned to Wilmington. Mr. J. K. Forshee, who has been travelling extensively in the North for the past few months, returned to the city yesterday. Mr. J. E. Piatt, another Wilmington boy, who accom panied him, enlisted in , the army at Camp Meade, was promoted to cor poral and will sail with his regiment from San Francisco to Manila between November 9th and 12th. BARQUE J0HANNEE IS NOW IN PORT She Went Aground Tuesday, But Was Towed Up Last Night The Storm Down the River. The Norwegian barque Johannee, Captain Thorsen, which arrived here light about a week ago and which has been detained at quarantine until yes terday, went ashore off the quarantine station during Tuesday morning's storm and it was with difficulty that she was saved from serious loss. The tug Alexander Jones went to her rescue Tuesday afternoon and early yesterday morning pulled her off the shore and last night towed her up '.to the city. All her topmast is gone and other slight damage is said to have resulted. The barque broke loose from her mooring at the station and the quar antinecrew took refuge aboard of her. Dr. Brown, physician in charge, was carried to Southport yesterday by the Jones. A reference to the damage at the Quarantine station was made y ester day in the Star. The tug Woodruff belonging: to the government which has been laid up for some time and U3ed as sleeping quarters for a part of the crew, was torn loose from her moorings by the storm and sunk near by. The launch in service there was also smashed and went down. The Blanche and Southport. The tug Blanche, of the Cape Fear Pilots' Association, and the steamer Southport, belonging to the New Hanover Transit Company, are still 'dry and high" on the beach at Southport Capt S. F. Craig, of the Pilots' Association, Capt. S. W. Skin ner and Capt. J. W. Harper went down yesterday morning to arrange to float the vessels as early as possi ble. - A force of hands went to work yesterday on the Blanche. Capt. Har per to-day will begin work on floating the Southport. Neither are damaged to se'rious extent, and the only loss will be the work of launching them. There were inquiries by wire from the owners in New York yesterday for the steam yacht Columbia, which sail ed Saturday for Florida. Nothing has been heard of her. Capt. J. W. Craig, of the Pilots' As sociation, said yesterday that twenty two schooners were reported havine sailed from the ports of Brunswick, Fernandina, Savannah and Charles ton on Saturday. Undoubtedly most of these, he said, were in track of the storm, but no wrecks were reported off Southport up to last night. The tug Jones, in charge of Capt. L. J. Pinner, will probably go to sea to day to see what can be picked up. DARKEST RUSSIA. A Capital Presentation of a Good Play at the Opera House. "Darkest Russia" was presented last night to a small but appreciative audience, which showed at all times its appreciation of the fine acting of these artists by frequent applause. All sustained their parts admirably. . To write of this play and not men tion the name of Mis3 Katherine Wil lard asllda Barosky an exile's daugh ter, would be incomplete and do this little actress quite an injustice. She portrayed her part well ; in fact, she is an aciress of note. Mr. Harry D. Byers as Col. Septimus Cobb, an American traveller, is what one would term a high class comedian, and at all times he held the audience with him. The company as a whole is an excellent one. The scenery and stage sittings were superb. Loss of Rice Down River. Along with other losses down the Cape Fear as a result of Tuesday's storm there comes reports of serious injury to rice on the plantations all along the river. Fortunately most of ' the crop had been harvested, when the high water came, but in many places large quantities were left on the sup posed highlands preparatory to being threshed and in several instances the high tides submerged the uplands and much damage was wrought to the half saved crop. Mr T. J. Gore, of this city, had about 3,000 bushels of rough rice piled up and the threshing machine was on hand to begin work, when the high water came, causing almost a total loss. Like consequences on a smaller scale are also reported Harbor Master's Report. The report of Capt. Edgar D. Wil liams, harbor master, shows arrivals of vessels of 90 tons and over at the port of Wilmington during the month of October as follows: , ' American i steamships, 6,404 ; 2 barges, 1.148 tons. Total vessels, 10; total tonage, 8,695. Foreign 8 steamships, 14,934 tons, 2 barques, 1,137 tons. Total vessels, 10; total tonnage, 26,071. During the month of October last year there were arrivals of 14 Amer ican vessels of 8,076 aggregate tonnage and 16 foreign vessels of 23,943 aggre gate tonnage. Twelve big tramp cot ton steamers arrived as against eight this year. To City Subscribers.

A correspondent at Fort Caswell writes the Star as follows: The storm was severe at this place. lasting for twenty-four hours. The engineer corps' dwelling was washed away, also the electrician's dwelling was a total wreck. The tide was five feet above high water mark, and the quarters had to be braced. The work men on the mortar battery lost all of their clothing and money that were in their trunks. The battery lost three boats, belonging: to A. Hi. North, Barney Wiefc-s, P. F. Kaskev. M. B. Cavenausrh, C. G. McCain, Joshua Parker, Hurley Ratcliff and Sergeant Hughes. The rost barge was wrecked for the second time.
