The report of the Secretary of the
Interior shows 991,519 names on

COL. MARTIN DEPARTS.
After Making the Masonic Pair a Qreat
Success He Leaves for Home Will
Soon Manare a Pair la Ohio.
Col. Noble F. Martin, of mi
N.
Y., who so successfully managed
Wilmington's big Masonic Fair, after
settling up his affairs, left last even
ing for his home, accompanied by
airs. Martin. Quite a party of ladies
ana gentlemen representine the Shrine
Booth, Wilmington Lodge Booth and
the "Country Store," were at the rail
way station to bid them adieu. A
well known Shriner - presented Mrs,
1 r . -. i , .
outrun wiin a dox oi flowers as
a token of- the high esteem
of her Wilmington acquaintances
CoL and Mrs. Martin during their
visit to Wilmington made many wa'tn
friends' and carry with them pleasant
recollections of their sojourn here.
The success of the two weeks' fair
at the Temple was largely due to Col
Martin's untiring efforts and expert
management of the occasion. He
came here September 16th to take con
trol of the arrangements of the fair.
and in the brief period at his control
he made the fair the mo3t successful
thing of the kind ever seen in this part
of the South. The conception and
scope of the great bazaar surpassed the
anticipations of everyone, and the re
ult proved that a master hand di
rected it.
Col. Martin made use of the finest
system both in obtaining donation a
and in disposing of shares in the vari
ous articles, and his methods made the
occasion as unique as it was remuner
ative. While the fair was in progress
he had his eye on every thine and
new what everybody was doinc.
and though the conduct of the bazaar
was necessarily complicated it passed
off with remarkable smoothness
He left here many friends who wish
im all kinds of success in his future
undertakings. He soon goes to Ohio
to hold a fair, and, of course, he will
make it go like hot shot.
W.'LLARD INSURANCE LAW.
t Will be Made a Law la Several States.
Complimentary Allasloas by a Proml
neat laiarsace Ma.
The Act of the General Assembly of
North Carolina to regulate insurance
companies and known as the Willard
aw, from the fact that Representative
M. S. Willard, of this city, is its au
thor and introduced it, will probably
be adopted in Virginia, Georgia, Mis
aiasippi and Texas. It is regardedas
the best solution of the insurance
problem that has been enacted into
law in the South, and it is not only
fair to the insurance companies but
makes a great saving for insurers. The
Star has already mentioned that the
recent reductions in the tariff rates,
brought about by this law would
amount to a saving of about $10,000 in
Wilmington and $100,000 or more in
the State.
Representative Willard, the author
of the act, is a practical, experienced
aod successful insurance man himself,
and his bill is making him consider
able reputation. The New Orleans
Picayune of recent date contained a
dispatch from Vicksburg, Miss., giving
an interview with Mr. W. L. Rey
nolds, of Atlanta, general agent of the
German American Insurance Compa
ny. Among other things he said was
the following:
"My experience as a representative
of one of the large tariff companies,
and also as a meniber of the executive
committee of the association for the
nast five years, convinces me that the
companies, through the Tariff Asso
ciation, would guarantee a reduction
of 25 percent, on the basis rates of fire
insurance on property in Mississippi
within twelve months after the adop
tion of a complete new set of laws reg
ulating fire insurance, similar to those
now in force in North Carolina."

1HE TUG BLANCHE
DISABLED YESTERDAY.
She Wis Rao loto Off Bald Hesd by
' Charleston Tag Wabia and Se
verely Damaged
The tug . Blanche, of the Cape Fear
lowing and Transportation Co , met
with a serious accident about 2.30
o'clock yesterday morning, near buoy
No. 5, off Bald Head, at the mouth of
the Cape Fear river, and as a result of
the same she is now laid up for repairs
at Skinner's shipyard.
The Blanche, towing Standard Oil
Company's Barge No. 58, left here
about 10 o'clock Tuesday night for
South port, where the brge was taken
in tow by the Charleston tug Waban
for the trip out to sea. The Blanche
went along to pilot the Waban and it
was while on this mission that the ac
cident befel her. Near the point indi
cated the Blanche, some distance
ahead of her charge, in some way
drifted on the shoals and while there
the Waban came along and know
ing -naming oi trouble ahead un
til within a short distance from
the Blanche, crashed into her
amidships tearing a great hole into
her side causing a leak, which made
it necessary for her to put back at once
to Southport.
Capt. James Flatley, of the Waban
as soon as he discovered the trouble,
reversed his engines and tried to avert
the accident but it was without avail,
ine visiting tug, which is at least a
third heavier than the Blanche, ran
into the htirboard side of the tug's
bow and wrought much havoc. The
Blanche was in charge of Capt. L. G.
Pepper, who was thrown by the shock
and had his knee severely sprained.
The disabled boat was brought to the
city by Cant. O. D. Burriss.
The Waban returned to Southport
with the Blanche but subsequently
sailed with the barge for Charleston
at 6 o'clock yesterday morning.-
It is impossible yet lo fix responsi
bility for the accident.

Mr. and Mrs. Quince Moore and the
family of Col. and Mrs. Roger Moore,
thelatter of whom are the grand parents
of the little child mentioned, were in
great distress yesterday over the dis
appearance of the nurse and little two
year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Quince
Moore. Tne nurse, Martha Samuels,
colored girl about 15 years of age.
left home at 11 A. M. with the child
in its carriage and failed to return at
dinner time. Later in the afternoon
the parents became uneasy and word
was given out around town about the
child, and at 5:30 o'clock a colored man
found the nurse and child at a house
away out on Bladen street.
The flaxen haired little bo y was re
stored to its parents and the rejoicing
in that family ean be imagined. The
girl gave no reasonable excuse for
keeping the child away so long but
said it had been given something to
eat.
Disappeared from Home.
A dispatch from New York yester
day states that there is considerable
anxiety over the disappearance of the
wife of the Rev. P. A. Hubert from
her home in Brooklyn, N. Y. As the
missing woman was formerly from
Wilmington, inquiry was made by
wire to ascertain if she had come
here, but none of her friends here
had heard anvthine of her. Her
mother, Mary Ann Meares, a well
nown colored woman of this city,
ived here up to a short while ago,
but removed to Laurinburg. The
missing woman's friends think that
it is possible that she may have gone
to her mother.
