THE TEMPLE CORPORATION. lompietioa of the Home of the Masons to Be Celebrated by a Great Pair Next Week Preparations for tbe Coming Event. As the handsome Masonic Temple ap preaches its completion, which is to be celebrated by the great Fair to be held here from November 20th to Decern ber 3rd, it will be of more than ordin ary interest to Star readers generally,. as well to the Masonic brethren of this 8tate,to know something of the history of the undertaking and its successful consummation. The following sketch prepared by a well posted member of the fraternity will, therefore, be read with much pleasure : The Masonic Temple Corporation was incorporated by an Act of the General Assembly of North Carolina the 8th day of March. 1895. It w chartered "to erect. establish and main- lain a building for the use. benefit and occupancy or tne several orders of Ma sonry situated within the Masonic in risdiction of Wilmineton. North Cat olina." The capital stock is one thou sand dollars, which is owned and only allowed to oe. owned by the five Ma sonic bodies of this city. These are St John's Lodee No. 1. Wilmineton i-Kxige no. mv. unent Liodce No. 395. Concord Chapter No. 1 and Planta?enet Commanderv No. 1. The Eminent Commander. Hich Priest and Worshipful Masters represent each his comnaandery, chap ter or lodge in all stockholders' meet ings. Its organisation was effected at the first meeting of the Masonic bodies mentioned, assembled as stockholders, held on December 2ad. 1895. Dr. W. E. Storm represented the Comman- dery, Mr. M. 8. Willard Concord Chap- wr, .r. ol. kj. a. XMooie Orient Lioage, Mr. John C. Stout St. John's Lodire. and Mr. R. H. Grant Wilmington Lodge, at the organization meetine. Tbe directors then elected, five in number, were Messrs. H. H. Mun- SJn, T. F. Baeley, M. S. Wil lard. M. C. S. Noble and Dr. J. E. Matthews. At a subsequent meeting of the directors, Mr. H. H. Munson was elected president, Mr. T. F. Baelev vice president. Mr. M. S. Willard. secretary. Afterwards, Mr. Munson, upon his resignation as both president and director, was succeeded by Mr. M. S. Willard as president and Mr. Iredell Meares as a director. Mr. Jas. C. Munds succeeded Dr. J. E. Mat thews as a director, and Mr. M. 8. Willard as secretary. Mr E S. Mar tin, who succeeded Mr. Noble as a director, was in turn succeeded by Mr. ti O Sraallbones. At different times between its incor porauon and .the spring of 1898 vari- us schemes were considered lor tne building of a Temple, but did not ma terialize. The erection of a fifteeu thousand dollar Temple on the site of the Masonic Temple on Market street was proposed, but abandoned The apparently insurmountable difficulty confronted the directors to meet tbe expectations and desires of the Masonic brethren with a cash capital only of one thousand dollars. Finally, in the spring of 1893, the then directors, Messrs. M. S. "Willard, T. F. Bagley, James C. Munds, H. G. Small bones and Iredell Meares, con ceived and matured the plan by which the Temple is now building. They purchased iha site of the old First Na tional or Dawson Bank, on Front street. On this formerly stood a build ing erected about the year 1808, which in ante bellum days was used as a banking house and residence for its cashier. It was constructed of brick, stuccoed, with iron porticoes, and for its day and generation was not an in elegant building. The property was purchased for S16.0UU. Une thousand dollars, the corporation's capital, was paid in cash and tbe property mort gaged for the unpaid balance. On May 2d. las, at a stocknoiders- meet i . - . . i ing, after an explanation oi me pro posed plan or erecting tne rem pie, tne action of the directors in negotiating for the site was approved and the pur chase authorized. At this meeting St. John's Lodge was represented by Mr. F. H. Fechtig, W. M ; Orient Jbodge by Mr. M. S. Willard, W. M. ; Wilming ton Lodge by Mr. Chas. H. Robinson, W. M. ; Concord Uhapter oy Mr. A. J. HowelL Sr., H. P. ; and Plantagenet Commandery by Mr. W. P. Toomer, E. C Tnere were douots ana mis- . . . . givings in tnose aays, even among Masons, as to tne uuaertaaing, out having taken the first step in the selec tion of the site, the directors addressed themselves to the "Ways and Means Problem." The plan devised, and which it now being carried into, effect, was approved by the corporation and authorized It was to issue thirty flvA thousand, first xnorteasre. six per cent., tweny year bonds, for the erec tion of the Temple, ana niteen tnou sand, second mortgage, six per cent.. fifteen year bonds ror tne payment oi the unpaid balance due for the site. This mates a bonded indebtedness of $50,000 which now covers the entire property, it was estimated tnai tne building while affording elegant apart ments for tbe Masonic Doaies, , would yield rental enough to pay interest on the bonded debt ana create a small surplus for a sinking fund. The first mortgage bonds were taken by two insurance companies and one of the leading citizens of this city. The second mortgage bonds were sub scribed for by citizens and Masons res ident in Wilmington. As the build ing has neared completion, the direc tors feel that tbeir estimates as to the rental value of the property will be realized. The entire cost of the prop erty, however, will amount to about $58,000. The object of the.Masonic Fair soon to be held is to realize money with whioh to pay the floating debt over and above the bonded indebtedness of the corporation. The plans by which the building is being erected were prepared by Mr. Charles McMillen, formerly of Duluth, Minn., and have met with very general approval. He is an architect of ex perienced and marked ability. Four teen Masonic temples have been built in different cities by plans and specifi cations prepared by him. He is him self a Mason. He has personally su pervised. in a most acceptable manner, the erection of the Masonic Temple here. On March 2, 1899, the building con tract was awarded to Messrs. D. Gatez & Co , of Knoxville, Tenn. The con struction work has been under the im mediate direction of their representa tive here, Mr. D. Hanha, an expe Mo WILMINGTON, N.

Hon. Julian R. C,rr AnWwrA an eloquent address on that memorial occasion. The dedication of the Temple will oc cur on tne zist day or November, 1899, when the grand officers of the Grand uodge of North Carolina will be pre s?nt and participate in the ceremonies! Hon. FabiuB H. Busbee of Raleigh, . u., a I'ast (Jrand Master, will de liver tbe dedication address. In July last the labors of the direc tors having so greatly increased, at tneir request the stockholders in creased their number from five to ten. and elected to serve on the board, in addition to the other directors. Messrs. W. E Springer. James F. Post. Jr.. Isaac Bear, W. R. Kenan and Charles W. Worth. These gentlemen have given their active support to the enter prise, and sinco becoming directors have materially aided in the further ance of the work. The Temple will stand as a monu ment to the order to which it is dedi cated. It is a handsome building of orowu stone press brick front. The first floor has three handsome stores. Thet.e will be occupied by Mr. H. L. Fennell as a harness store, by the msnoiate (Jlotbmg Company as a clothing store, and Mr. Jas. C. Munds s a drug store The second story is devoted to offices completed in modern style and many of these are already oc cupied Among those who will occupy tne omce noor are Messrs. Bridgers & McKeithan, Dr. W. C. Galloway, Messrs. Rountree & Carr, the Colo nial Dames Society, Mr. George H. Howell, Mr. George Harriss, Jr., Mr. Iredell Meares, Mr. E. S. Martin, Mr. Robert Ruark, Drs. Davis & Hawes, Dr. R. E Zacherv and Mr. W. H. Mc- Elwee. The third floor will be occu pied by the Masonic bodies. There will be two handsome halls, one for the Blue Lodge and for the Comman dery and Chapter, with a banquet nan. ine iourtn noor, front, is de voted to a beautiful ball room, with an arch ceiling, and parlors, reception rooms and cafe. Our citizens, as well as the Masons. experience a pride and gratification at tbe erection of a building which re flects credit upon both the enterprise of the order and of the city. The conception and erection of this beautiful Temple illustrates strikingly how men by concert of action and unity of purpose can accomplish great things for the upbuilding of their city and State, as well as for the order in whose honor and for whose purpose it has been primarily erected. Wilmlortoniao'B Success. TheGainesville.Fla., Sun,is express ing some roseate views about the bright future of that city, on account of its c mtinual growth and the extension of the Gainesville & Gulf Railway. The road is soon to be extended to deep water on the Gulf. The Sun says editorially of the road: "In this connection we are pleased to observe that Mr. W. W. Harriss, Jr., has been appointed freight and passenger agent for this city. A better appointment could not , have been made. Mr. Harriss is a courteous gen tleman, a hustling business man, uni versally popular and has had ample experience to thoroughly qualify him for the responsible duties which will be incumbent upon him." The Sun also make this following refererce in its local department: "The many friends of W. W. Harriss, Jr , are congratulating him upon his approvement a agent for the Gaines ville and Gulf Railroad at this point. Mr Harriss has been employed jointlv by the Gainesville & Gulf and the Fl C P. railroad for some time and is a railroad man of high ability. In his appointment the management of the road made a wise selection. Mr. Harriss is a son of Dr. W. W. Harriss of Wilmington and he has a host of friends here who will be pleased to learn of his success asa rail road man. Consul John Gore Long. Mr. D. L. Gore calls the Star's at tention to the fact that Mr. John G. Long, diplomatic agent and Consul General at Cairo, Egypt, was not a native of Wilmington as stated in yes terday's paper. Rev. Gabriel Long, a Baptist minister and father of the con sul, was born in Brunswick county, this State, and married Miss Elizabeth Ann Gore, of Columbus county and an aunt of Mr. D. L. Gore. Mr. Gore says that he is almost sure that they ived in Columbus county until the family left for Florida, though they may have lived in Brunswick county, this State, or Horry county, S. C, as the three come together at a point about four miles from his grand father's residence. John Gore Long, the consul, is the oldest son. Schooner Ida Lawrence. The schooner Ida Lawrence, Capt. Campbell, whioh was towed into Southport in distress by the British steamship Emma during the -recent storm, has settled all claims for sal vage, etc., and has engaged the fug Alexander Jones to tow her to New port News, -her destination. A board of survey, consisting of Col. John Wilder Atkinson, Mr. W. N. Harriss and Capt. Edgar D. Williams, will visit the vessel on Monday at South port and arrange other details neces sary to her departure. nstallinf the Machinery. The erecting engineers, who are here representing the various concerns which furnish the machinery for the Delgado Cotton Mills, are making good progress in the installment of the machinery in the -new factory.

Stevens of the New born Journal says: "The Packard Opera Company have captured New- bern by their splendid performance. Crowded house nightly." Claim for Damages Settled. The Clyde Steamship Company has settled a claim for damages with Mrs. Sarah A. Lindquist, widow of the late Charles Lindquist, who was burned to death as the result of an explosion on one of the company's steamships in New York, particulars of which are known to Star readers. The accident oc curred on July 23rd of the present year, and $1,000 was paid to Mrs. Lindquist, as administratrix. She is a daughter of Mr. J. W. Branch, of this city. A deed of release was filed by Mrs. Lind quist to the Clyde Steamship Company with the Register of Deeds yesterday. Prom the West Indies. The British schooner Brothers, 125 tons, Capt. Kelly, arrived from Nas sau, New Providence yesterday having cleared that port October 21st, and sailed November 1st. The Brothers is one of the many smaller craft which run to this port in the Winter, bringing fruit from the West Indies. Capt. Kelly says the August hurricane down in the islands has played havoc with the fruit and he thinks there will be a dearth of "fruit vessels" to visit this port this season. The Brothers came in ballast from Nassau and will be loaded with shingles by J. A Springer & Co. Damage to Fort Caswell. The Star learns that the damage to Fort Caswell by the West India hur ricane of October 31st, was of such a serious nature that the government will have to spend $200,000 to restore the work and provide for protection against future storms. The damage to the works is estimated at $50,000, but in order to afford protection from storms in the future, a break-water will have to be constructed around al most the entire island. This, it is. es timated, will cost $200,000. Funeral Yesterday Afternoon. The funeral of Mrs. Susan Ann Knight, wife of Mr. John Knight, was conducted yesterday afternoon at -4 o'clook from St. James Episcopal Church by Rev. Dr. Robert Strange, rector of the parish.
