Members Decide to Have It Raised Tempo rarily aid Later Restored to Former . Sbape Improvemeats Proposed. Jn accordance with the adjournment of the Atlantic Yacht Club last week, tbe club met again last night at the room of the Board of Audit and Fi nance, at the City Hall, to hear the re port of the committee appointed to ex amine and report on the condition of the club house which was demolished by the hurricane of October 30th 31st. President James F. Post presided, and requested Mr. Champ McD. Da vis to act as secretary. President Post stated the object of the meeting and made a verbal report for the committee. He said he had no tified the members of the executive committee to meet him at the office of Captain E. W. Van C. Lucas, but he had not been able to get them togeth er. Hn had, however, seen the mem bers individually, and they all agreed that some action should be taken to preserve the dub's property on W rights ville Beach. He stated that Mr. H. E Biaitz, the architect, visi ted the beach yesterday at his request and examined the club house as an ex pert He called on - Mr. Bonits for a report. . Mr Bonits said he went to the beach and examined the club house closely, finding it in a condition not near so bad as was reported. He crawled underneath it and found that the mudsills and up-right foundations were still under the house. It appears that the tidal wave undermined the foundations of the house and washed it back quite a distance, carrying the foundations along with the building. He found that the "floor was bulged and broken when the house settled down on the beach but the mudsills and floor joists were intact. The principal damage to the building was the loss of the piazzas, while some of the weather-boarding had been ripped off. the flooring-was bulged up in places and the foundations had been undermined and displaced. Most of the weather-boarding was in good preservation and the main body of the house was in very good shape. He recommended that the loosened piazzas be removed to prevent their being flopped about by the wind, and that the building be jacked up to pre vent damage by high tides. He recommended that the house be raised at the place where it now stands or that it be moved further back towards the sound. As for the bith bouses he said they had been washed back from their founda tions, but they were damaged very little. They could be raised up with out much trouble. With regard to the foundations, he said he noticed that notwithstanding the very best heart pine had been used, the timbers were badly rotted where they went into the sand. He said whatever is done, something should be done to protect the foundations probably it would be necessary to use some pre servative on the timbers. Mr. Bonitz stated that it was his opinion that the house could be restored to its former shape at an expenditure of $300 or less. He recommended that what- . . 1 . u ever is aone, prompt acuou suuuiu be taken to temporarily preserve what is left of the building. President Post stated that Captain Lucas, chief of the United States en gineer corps, agreed in the main with Mr. Bonitz about the condition of the building and the steps necessary for its protection from lurtner aamage. The president said the committee would recommend that the building be temporarily raised, and the com mittee be authorized to call for bids for restoring the house. A discussion then followed as to thb best manner of raising the funds nec essary to repair the building. It was stated that the available fund on hand now is 150. At the flrat meeting of the club three plans were suggested for raising funds one to assess tbe members, one to take in more members, and still an other to mortgage the club's property. Capt. O. A. Wiggins said he favored 1 M the taking in of new memoers ana moved that that plan be adopted. It was stated, however, that ten days advertisement would have to be given to that effort. He therefore moved that such advertisement be made. The question was then discussed by several members. . President rost stated that the executive committee would -recommend that the assess ment plan be adopted, as the club had a membership of 200 and they could stand the assessment necessary. Mr. J. A. Taylor moved that the ex ecutive committee be authorized to have the building temporarily cared for, and that $500 be appropriated to have the property repaired, the same to be raised by assessing each member $3 50, a . Capt. T. v. Meares movea to auiouu by making the assessment $5, payable monthly and beginning the payments in November. ' ..... Mr. HI E. Bonits said that was going a little too fast, and suggested that the property be first raised up, ana tnea fh fiMMurr renain be ascertained and bids be called for to restore the property to its original shape, or to add some improvements that had been sug gested particularly a aaru-wwu uwr for dancing and some rooms for sleep ing He said $500 would be ample to restore the building and rebuild the platform to the railroad. President Post said the executive committee coincided with Mr. Bonitz's news. ,v Finally a substitute ior an ino mo- tinna mM made OV JUT. wauics as. Smith, to the effect that the executive committee be authorised to have the building temporonly carea ior, ana then to adrertise for bids for repairing the property, or addingimprovements, If deemed advisable. - His motion was adopted. .nt 01 UD vueii mjuuiuw. Morning Star WILMINGTON, N. 0., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, ROAD MATTERS DISCUSSED. CommiisIosersQIre Farther Coaslderatloa to Improvement "Ssnmer Rest" Road Declared Public. Oaly matters pertaining to the bet terment of the publio roads of the county were discussed at yesterday's adjourned session of the Board of County Commissioners, though nothing definite was agreed upon and an adjiurusieat was tak-an subj9ct to call of the Chairman. For the past several meetings of the Board the subject of good roads has been exhaus ively disoussed by the members with Capt. Barry, the road superinten dent, and that there will be some tangible results from the disoussion, is assured. At the meeting yesterday anent the discussion of these matters, the ques tion of making a publio thoroughfare of the road from Wrightsville depot to "Summer Bast" was taken up and upon motion of Commissioner Alex andsr it w ordered that the stretch of way from the depot along the sound to the Larkins ditch, thence in a northerly direction about two miles to a point near the six mile post near Baymede station, folio wing the lines of the Stokeley and lower Newkirk roads be incorporated into the public road system and of course it will receive its pro rata benefit of the county ap propriation for this purpose. The cot tagersat "3ummer Rest" have been contending for this privilege for a number of years and tbe action of the board in this respect will be hailed with pleasure by them. At the meeting yesterday Col. Roger Mo re presided and members present were Commissioners Holmes, Alex ander and McE-ichera. ANNUAL THANKSGIVING QAME The 0. A. N. Foot Ball Team Will Enrsre Eleven of Horoer's School Here Nov. 30th Hijh School Game. The difficulties which have hitherto attended all efforts on the part of Manager E. A. Metts, of the O A N. foot ball eleven, to arrange a game with some visiting team for Thanks giving day have apparently been eliminated in one instance at least and it is now announced definitely that the crack team of Horner's School will engage the O. A. N. eleven on that date. A telegram was receivea yesteraay cod arming accept ance to the challenge of the Wilming ton aggregation and the "boys" were out last night hardening muscle and sinew for the fray, which promises to be fully up to the standard of the old time annual Thanksgiving con test. In the personnel of the Horner team will be found a number of Wil mington boys, who are adepts at hand ling, the pig-skin, and the visit from the "soldier boys" will be all the more pleasant for this reason. While the O. A. N. team is contest ing for the honors on the grounds here, the High School eleven will be engaged in trying conclusions with the Red Springs Military Academy at Fayetteville, as Manager Harry Small- bones several days ago closed up ar rangements for a game on that date. A TRANSFER OP STEAMERS. Tbe Clyde Steamship Ssflssw Will Be come a Reralar Visitor to This Port. It can now be announced definitely that the Clyde steamship New York. Capt. Ingram which has been plying regularly from the home port to Wil mington and Georgetown, will ba taken off this run and the Saginaw sent in her stead. The New York cleared for her last trip from Wil mington early this week. The Oneida will, however, continue on this line and will be here as usual Tuesday, 21st, sailing from New York on the Saturday preceding. The Saginaw has often visited Wil mington and will be here on her initial trip, under the new arrange ment, Tuesday, November 28th, sail ing from Georgetown as usual the day after arrival from the New York trip. She is in charge of Capt. Johnson and is of 1,429 tons burthen. Formerly she has been making the Clyde schedule between Boston, Charleston and Jacksonville, conveying both pas sengers and freight. In response to an inquiry, Superin tendent Smallbones said yesterday that he did not know what disposition would be made of the New York. Kiostoa's Prosperity. Mr. R. M. Wesoott returned last evening from a business trip to Kin ston, LaGrange and other points in that vicinity. Mr. Wescott was com- Dletelv captivated with the air of busi ness nrosperity and good will which appears to be pervading the growing little city of Kinston, and is extrava gant in his praise of the general com mercial aspect of the community in general. Twelve million pounds of tobacco, he said, were sold there tne present season, and this industry alone s contributed greatly to tne up building of the place. One enterprise alone in the city, he says, is reported employing over three nundred laborers. It is suggested that what the tobacco industry has done for Kinston, Wilson and other points, the same could be done for Wilmington if tly the proper measures were taken ' her commercial men and the far mers in the territory adjoining. On acc.unt of the meeting of the . O. K K. at Charlotte, N. C, No vember 17th, 1899, the Seaboard Air Line will sell round trip tickets to Charlotte at $7.75 for the round trip.

Latham, Alexander & Co. Pat the Firares at 8,709.690 Bales. Messrs Latham, Alexander & Co., the well known bankers and cotton merchants, have issued a circular, dated November 15th, in which they estimate the present crop at 8,709,690 bales against 11,275,000 bales last year. This letter is based on 2,800 letters re ceived from reliable correspondents in all the cotton States, and the result given above is reached by averaging the estimates from each State. The circular of Messrs. Latham, Alexander & Co., concludes as fol- ows: ' Two thsusand one nundred and fortv correspondents report that the crop has been more rapidly marketed, or shipped to market as quickly as in former years. Four hundred and forty-two corres pondents report that from 5 to 15 per cent- more than last year has been held on plantations, towns and cities for higher prices. Our special agents who have been travelling through the South for the Sast month, to ascertain the true con ition of the cotton crop fully con firm the foregoing estimate." Dr. Porter Recovering. Mr. D. C Venters, of Rocky Point, who was in the city yesterday, told a Stas representative that Dr. E. Porter, who sustained serious injuries several days ago by falling from a ladder from whence he was directing some im provements to a building, is improving apidly and will be out in a short while. There are few men in Eastern Carolina so well and favorably known Dr. Porter and the news of his rapid recovery vrill be noted with nleasure bv his numerous friends and especially those in WilniQgton and vicinity, where he has such extensive business interests and is consequently better known. 1899. CHIMES OF NORMANDY. The Dsa Packard Opera Company A Large Audience Tbe Bohemian Girl To-night. Last night at the Opera House the "Chimes of Nornaanday" pealed clear and sweet. The Dan Packard Com pany in this opera has scored another success, playing before a large and appreciative audience in fact a pack ed house. The play has to do chiefly with the love affairs of one Ctermotn. the un tangling of an inheritance web and the miserly idio syncrasies of Gas pard.

Miss Jean Howison, of Perth, Scot land, will give a lecture-recital from Scotia's poet, Robt. Burns, and a dra matic recital from Ian MacLaren's prose classic, in the Y. M. C. A. au ditorium, beginning next Tuesday, ending Friday, November 21st and 24th. The following notice is from the ed itorial columns of the New York Mail and Express: "Miss Jean Howison. of Perth. Scot land, has captured many an American audience by the grace and charm of er platform eflfjrts. The srif ted Scotch lady is both a lecturer and . an elocu tionist. Her favorite platform topic is Robert Burns, of whom, in common witn Scotsmen and Scotswomen on either continent, she is an enthusiastic admirer. She is herself a native of Perth, but a few miles distant from the now ' world-famed Drumtochty, and kno ws both the villaere and the author. Sbe has just enough of Scotia's de lightful broerue to srive a sympathetic aud entertaimag presentation of Scot land's latest prose classic, and to make to live anew the almost historic nsrure of Jamie Soutar and DrumsheugU, of M.rs. McFadyen and Dr. Wellum Mac- Lure." BREHANV CONCERT COMPANY. Second Eatertaioment of Popular Coarse at Y. M. C. A. Auditorium To-night.

It is also requested and expected that ladies will remove their hats. No reserved seats will be on sale at the door. Only single admission tickets may be had. Possibly no company has ever vis ited Wilmington that has been so pleasantly remembered as this one.
