Capt Willey had his wife aboard, and as soon as the vessel moored a number of ladies and gentlemen went aboard to greet them atd the other officers who are known here. Sad! news awaited Captain Willey, how-. ever, in the nature of a telegram an-; nouncing the death of his venerable! father, Mr. John Willey, of Wash- ington, D. C, He died in that city on: the 10th instant, aged 83 years.

M. to morrow at Washington, and Captain and Mrs. Willey left for that city last night to attend the obsequies. Capt. Willey expects to return here next Tuesday. The Cotter. The Algonquin is one of the new cutUrs, having been built in 1898, at Cleveland, Ohio. She belongs to a class of cutters second in size only to the McCulloch, the largest steamer in the United States revenue marine ser vice. She is an iron hull vessel, of 205 feet length and 32 feet beam. She has triple expansion' engines of 2,200 horse power and a battery of four Scotch boilers. Her engine room is commodious and the machinery is kept as neatly polished as the knobs of a front door. Among the machinery is a dynamo, which supplies electric lightto 125 incandescent lamps throughout the ship, and a distiller for distilling water for drinking as well as for the boiler.! There are also well equipped machine ry and carpenter shops. The ship is a modern built craft and is a very handsome vessel with a maxi mum speed of 18 knots an hour and a regular speed of 12 knots in all kinds of weather. On her trip here from Baltimore she made nearly 14 knots. Her pilot house and navi-l gation quarters are roomy, well equipped and neatly and com fortably furnished. The captain's cabin is aft on the main deck and it is elegantly furnished, embracing all modern conveniences. The ward room, below decks, occupied by the officers, is commodious; the state rooms are pretty and splendidly fur nished, and the most modern conve viences' are a part of the equipment The captain's cabin and the officers' state rooms are lighted by electricity and equipped with speaking tubes, electric call bells, etc. The men's quarters, forward, are large and com fortable, being equipped with bath room and the most admirable sani tary arrangements throughout All the other features of the vessel are up to date, and throughout it is heated by steam. Fitted Oat for War. The Algonquin carries a crew of fifty men and now has an armament of four Hotchkiss rapid-fire gans two six pounders on the forecastle and two one pounders aft When the war broke out with Spain in '98 she was brought around from the lakes, having been cut in two to get her through the ship canal." She was put together again at Montreal, and was to have fitted out as an auxiliary cruiser, but the war ended before that could be done. Her Officers. The officers of the Algonquin are as follows: Captain O. S. Willey, com manding; First Lieutenant John E. Reinberg. executive officer; Second Lieutenant Fred J. Haake, navigating officer; Second Lieutenant Benj. M. Chiswell ; Third Lieutenant Frank W. Smith; Chief Engineer Fred E. Owen; First Assistant Engineer J. E. Dorrey, and Second Assistant Engineer John B. Turner. Of the Algonquin's officers, Capt. Willey, Lieut Reinberg and Chief Engineer Owen are home folks, all having been on duty in this port before. Captain Willey was on duty here for a number of years as first lieuten ant and executive officer on the rev enue cutter Colfax. He was always exceedingly popular in Wilmington, and his friends rejoiced when he was advanced to captain and placed in command of the Algonquin last April. He has been in the ser vice twenty-eight years, - having served on the revenue cutters Rush, Corvm, Seward, Walcott, Clay, Penrose, Washington, Colfax, Petrel and now the Algonquin. Altogether he has been in the sea service of the government for fortytwo years, in his younger days having served in the nay y t the blockade of Charleston and Mobile. Ha is one of. the cleverest men under the flag of the Republic, and the Stab gives away no secret when it savs he has always liked Wil mington and was assigned to this port because ha wanted to be. Mrs. Willey has many friends here who will wel come her back with srladness. Cant Willey expects to leave here with the Algonquin on her irat cruise in about a week. Her courteous om cers state that they will be pleased to how ladies over the ship this after WILMINGTON, N.G., SATURDAYS JANUARY 13 v SMITH'S ISLAND PROPERTY, Onverooent Will Use Part of It for Light Hoase and Life Station An Ap praised Vacation. Geo. L. Peschau, Esq., of the firm of Bellamy & Peschau, arrived yester day morning! from Raleigh, where he has been in attendance upon the Fed eral Court as counsel for Dr. F. B. Ullory, the wealthy Chicago dentist, who owns Smith's or Bald Head Island, at the mouth of the Cape Fear river. The Stab yesterday made mention of he fact that the government, through the Federal Court, had asked for the concession of thirty acres of the land for a light hbu e and life saving sta tion, and also for the privilege of building a tramway across the island. It is stated upon good authority that Dr. Ullory had about succeeded in forming a stock company of immense capital to improve the island, among other things' by the building of sev eral handsome lodges for occupancy of wealthy Northern tourists. It was also proposed to make of the island a mammoth game preserve; all of which plans Dr. Ullory claims will be frus trated by a grant of the concessions asked for by the government. The court ordered the property, or at least so much of it as is needed for the station, condemned, and five ap praisers will be appointed to value thevprivilege, the amount of course going to Dr. Ullory, who, if he is not satisfied with the figures set upon the property, may appeal to the court. IMPRESSIONS OF THE TRIAL. The Rslelih Post Hss Some Interesting Comments on tie Outcome of Mr. Marshall's Csse. Commenting upon the termination of the Marshall trial at Raleigh on Thursday, the Post of that city says among other things favorable to Mr. Marshall, the defendant: The outcome was a genuine surprise to the general public. They were few who entertained the slightest idea of the defendant's guilt, and the sympa thy of the community goes out to him and his devoted wife, who has re mained by him throughout the long ordeal. The strain of the trial has been a severe test to even the nerves of the counsel, and Mrs. Marshall's wonderful endurance was commented upon by many. Faitnful and devoted, thoroughly imbued with her husband's innocence fas is every one who knows the de fendant), she sat next to him through out the trial, seven long days days of agony and suspense that none but a wife can appreciate and again yes terday, when the defendant was anx iously awaiting the jury's verdict, she sat , silently and bravely. But once did she break down, and that was when the jury left the court-room yesterday after Judge Purnell gave them the case. Then she leaned her head on her husband's shoulder and wept The intense strain of the trial was over. There are few, if any, who believe that the case will ever come to trial again; but if it does, Mr. Marshall's ac quittal is assured. Jttr. Marshall was interviewed by a Post representative last night When asked about the future disposal of the case, he said: "Believing as I do, the animus which Mr. Bernard and Mr. Spears entertain for me, I do not ex pect any favor at their hands as long as they have a string to hold me by. I believe my innocence will be proven." The rumor was prevalent on the street that the District Attorney would noL pros, the case. This rumor was put before Mr. Bernard last night. He said: "There is not the slightest scintilla of foundation for that rumor. The case will go through the usual channels and will be brought up at the next term of the Raleigh Federal Court. The rumor is only started for efifect" Those composing the jury at the trial were Messrs. Thomas Pence, J. S. Patrick, J. J. Wilder, James Cooper, A. D. Hulin, C. G. Koonce, O. W. Belvin, A. O. Jones, M. L. Haynes, Seth Jones, F. M. Wimbish and Nicholas Deboy. Those standing for conviction were Wimbish, Wilder and Hulin. Wimbish is a Republican and was book keeper at the peniten tiary until fired by Captain Day. Mr. Wilder is a Populist. One of the jurors states that Messrs. Wilder and Hulin would probably have come over to the majority but for the influence of Mr. Wimbish, and certain reasons are hinted at for the latter's obstinacy. This is supported by the statement of another as to cer tain things that were overheard. : There is one fact, morally certain: Public opinion is unanimous in the be lief of Mr. Marshall's innocence. Hints of politics being the cause of the prose cution are freely given and generally accepted, i Big Cargo to Yessel Tonnage. Messrs. Alexander Sprunt & Son cleared their steamer Aquila last even- ing for Falmouth with 8,052 bales of cotton, which is a gain of about seven hundred bales over her previous cargo. The ship was carefully stored for the most part with standard 24x54 bales which arejsaid to be the finest bales yet devised and which give entire satisfaction to planters and spinners. If this standard rectangular or square bale was generally adopted there would be no sale for the cylindrical shape in the market The Aquila is of only 1,407 tons register and carries about 2,800 pounds to. each ton, which is probably the largest ever cleared from any port in the United States. Diphtheria Quarantine. Two other quarantines for diptheria were placed by Dr. McMillan yester day. One is at the residence of Mr. S. Solomon,' northeast corner of Seventh and Market streets, and the other is at No. 413 North Third street, the resi dence of Mr. Thos. Torp7t Jr. j The case of &Ir. W. H. Schroeder at the residence cf Mrs. E. B. Wiggins, ia said to be a very mild one. Mr. Schroe NINO MIRACULOUS ESCAPE IN A BAD ACCIDENT. A Train Craiked Into a Baggy in Which Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Shepard Were Driving The Horse Killed. Yesterday afternoon about 3.30 o'clock Mr. Joseph C. Shepard, the pharmacist, . accompanied by Mrs. Shepard, left the city to take a drive on on the Holly Shelter or Castle Haynes road leading by the County Houie.They were driving in a trot when approach ing the track of the Wilmington, Co lumbia and Augusta Railroad, and nat urally Mr. Shepard reined in the horse to cross the track: When the horse got on the track Mr. Shepard, for the first time, saw passenger train No. 55, which had left Front street station at 3 45 P. M., going south on the Atlantic Coast Line. The'train was only fifteen feet away, and, realizing his danger, Mr. Shepard tried to pull the horse back off the track, but he obstinately balked and only stood, swaying his head from one side- to the other. Mr. Shepard, howeyer.sucoaeded in pulling him to one side, but could not get him off the track. In an instant the train dashed by, running at the rate of about twenty-five miles an hour. The pilot of the engine struck the horse and threw him aroput fifteen feet, kill ing him, breaking' both shafts of the buggy and up setting the vehicle. Mr. and Mrs. Shepard were thrown out violently by the shock and landed in the ditch with the buggy over them. Capt. W. L. Harlow was conductor of the train and Engineer J. M. Meadows was driving the locomotive. When the engineer saw the horse and buggy on the track he put on brakes and stopped the train with the last coach Opposite the wrecked buggy. Capt Harlow and the passengers im mediately went to the rescue of Mr. and Mrs. Shepard and found them badly shaken up and very much ex? cited but fortunately not seriously hurt They were taken aboard the train which was run back to the depot about a mile and a half. Dr. D. W. Bulluck, the Coast Line surgeon, was telephoned for and went immediately to ' the depot, where Mr. and Mrs. Shepard were put in a carriage and sent to their home, 317 South Second street. Pr. Bulluck accompanied them and gave, them attention. Dr. J C. Shepard, father of M-. Shepard, also called and gave them attention. Mr. and Mrs. Shepard made a mirac ulous escape, but they were terribly shaken up. Mrs. Shepard received a bruise and -a slight scratch on the left cheek, and was sore from her rough experience. Mr. Shepard's back and left hip were sprained and he was also' sore of body but no bones were broken and he received no cuts. Both suffe r ed with headache but last night they were resting comfortably. The attend ing physicians could not determine if there were any internal injuries or not and it is hoped that to-day will de velop no hurt of that nature. Both were confined to bed yesterday after noon and last night. The horse which was killed belong ed to the livery stable of Mr. S. J. Davis. "A RUNAWAY QIRL."

State Board to Inspect the A. & N. C. R. R. Part of Smith's' Island Condemned for Use of U. S. Government. Special Star Telegram.' Raleigh, N. C, January 13. The State Board of Internal Improvement left here this afternoon to inspect the Atlantic & North Carolina railroad. They went by request of President Bryan. Also, the meeting of direc tors of the road was held to night at Morehead. Much money is being spent on the road in the purchase of new cars and engines and in the im provement of the road bed. No divi dend will be declared on stock .this year. Decree was signed to day in theSCir- cuit Court, in the case of Alvis Walker and others condemning the south end of Smith's Island at the mouth of Cape Fear river for the use of the United States for a light-house and light saving station and a road through the island. The case of the United States against the Walker heirs was. decided against the heirs about two years ago. Appeal was taken and the Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision. Dr. F. B. Ullery, of Chicago, then bargained to purchase the island, but it is understood there is some disa greement between him and the Walker heirs. The government, however, gets what it asks for against the title .pi all. The only defence set up by Ullery was that the land was not needed for a public purpose. Marshal Dockery is directed by the court to summon five freeholders, in accordance with the State law, to assess the damages aBd value of property. For the light-house twenty acres of land is required and for the road ten acres. ' Raising Up of Chiefs. Last night, the twelfth sleep of the cold 'moon, G. S. D. 409, Great Sachem J. R.
