THE COLONIAL DAMES Impressive Anniversary Services at Historical Old St. Philip's 1 Church Yesterday, i ' A; PAPER BY MR. SPRUNT Was Well Prepared sad Abounded. la "Historical Interest-Other Commem orative Exercises Held in the Rains A Social Event. V The excursion to Old Brunswick yesterday under the auspices of the North Carolina Society of Colonial Dames was an abundant success, both from point of pleasure afforded those who availed themselves of an j oppor tunity to view the ruins of historic old St Philip's Church and revel in the quaint recollections of the spot, and also from the point of an inauguration of a well directed movement to restore and preserve these ruins to future gen erations. More than a hundred and fifty peo ple, many of them being numbered among Wilmington's most prominent society folk, went down on the steamer Wilmington in the morning and re turned at 5.30 o'clock yesterday after noon after a delightful outing about the hallowed grounds of St Philip's. Upon the arrival at the Old. Bruns wick wharf, some rode to the old church in vehicles supplied by the thoughtful hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. James Sprunt while others took the beaten track and soon all reached the precinct made sacred by so many re collections. After a short while spent in inspect-. ing the grounds and ruins, which have been wonderfully restored by the ladies, all were called to assemble in the auditorium of the old church and with only the canopy of heaven above the most beautiful service imaginable was there held. The old church faces directly east and west and at the west ern porch Rev. Dr. Robert Strange and Rev. Milton A. Barber assumed their cbarchly robes and advancing up the centre aisle the whole congregation sang that glorious hymn "The Church's One Founda tion." Psalms, No. 24 and 13 were then recited, after which Dr. Strange read a beautiful, prayer, expressing thanks for the "fearless pioneer and hardy settler, who crossed the pathless ocean, who found the sav age foe, who felled the forest and clear ed the land, who builded this noble commonwealth of States to be in pride and glory over our people, the wonder and admiration of the world." In the course of the prayer he referred to the civil and religious liberty which the early settlers brought to their new land. He invoked Divine blessing upon the laudable efforts of the ladies who are laboring so faithfully to res tore the ruins of the famous and sacred old church edifice. The prayer was a most fervid and beautiful one. The hallowed surroundings and other en vironments made it especially inspir ing and impressive. After Dr. Strange's prayer the whole one hundred and fifty voices joined in singing "All bail the power of Jesus' name," and Rev. Mr. Barber then made the admirable and enchanting ad dress so ably prepared by our esteemed citizen, Mr. James 8prunt whose researches into the annals of the Cape Fear section have given so much pleasure to the lovers of their country. The address began with an account of the dedication of the church one hundred and forty years ago, which, amid trials and tribulations, the few people of that section had been prepar ing for twenty years. A town or vil lage of only four hundred people, all "were gentle folk, bred in refinement of educated, tastes and cultivated man-' ners." The day so auspicious and longed for by these settlers and the people themselves is charmingly de scribed. He relates how "beneath the lancet windows in the east within the chancel rail stood the then rector, Rev. John Barnet and his co-adju-tor, Rev, Mr. Wills, of St James', in Wilmington." He pictures the gentry of the times occupying their acustomed places, who are afterwards to become famous in. the service of their country. A beautiful description of the solemn service follows, ending with the. "Te Deum Laudamus." An interesting account follows of the capture of one of the fleet of piratical vessels which had entered the harbor and ravaged the plantations, and the subsequent appropriation, upon motion of Hon. Lewis Henry DeRosset to the building fund of St Philip's and St James' churches, the proceeds of a large recapture of goods and chattels from the pirates. The history of the colony and the found ing of the town of Brunswick are re counted in pretty language, with fre quent reference to official colonial records. I Mr. Sprunt's paper was filled with numerous incidents ' of great interest and gave an extract from an old book published in 1741 which ihad been found in Dublin descriptive of the people of this section. The paper is a valuable acquisition to the history of the State, is remarkably well prepared in Mr. Sprunt's characteristic pleasing and accurate style. The Stab regrets very much that space forbids its publi cation as a whole embodying as it does the prettiest descriptive language which is afforded enchantment by the subject treated. The reading of the address being finished, that grand old hymn "God Bless Our Native Land," was sung, when all retired to the beautiful pine grove surrounding the church where they listened to an intensely interest ing address', from Eugene S. Martin, Esq., on the history of Old Brunswick, Fort Anderson and St Philip's in Con federate times. ; " Resolutions of thanks to the Society of Colonial Dames and to Mrs. James Sprunt in particular, for the charm ing entertainment provided, were' en thusiastically adopted. After the exercises of the day, a de lightful luncheon was served by the ladies composing the committee, to whom had been delegated the work of restoring and preserving the ruins. These are Mrs. Jas. Sprunt (chairman), Mrs Clayton Giles, Mrs. Gaston Meares, Mrs. George Rountree, Mrs. El ma Maffltt Mrs. M. F. H. Gouverneur, Mrs. P. L. Bridgers.Mrs. Lee, Mrs. Wil liam Calderand Mrs. Robert Strange, The remaining portion of the day was spent in visiting the various places of interest about the old colonial settle ment, in examining the old tomb stones and deciphering the inscrip tions. There were the tombs of the Hills, Lords, Eagles, Drys, Mc- Guires and others, and it is safe to say that at least fifty descendants of these were present on the grounds. Every one was much j interested in the find ing by Mrs. E. Warren of a grape shot which Mr. Martin showed and alluded1 to during his address. Mrs. Warren will present the relic to the Society of Colonial Dames. The Mandolin Club during the day rendered some j en joyable music and especially during the service, leading clearly and well the congregation in the singing. Soon the whistle of the steamer brought the summons that' the hour for returning j home had arrived. Though all were fatigued, the bright smile of pleasure was apparent and with the serving of delicious ice cream on board, the cup of pleasure for all was filled. ' A delightful day, a charming day, one not soon to be forgotten, was the verdict of each one. NORTHROP LUMBER COMPANY. Charter Received Yesterday for New En- terprise at 'Wilmington. Colj Jno. D. Taylor, Clerk of the Superior Court yesterday received a charter from the Secretary of State for the Northrop Lumber Company which was incorporated Monday with a capi tal stock of $20,000, divided into shares of the par value of $100 each.

Williams, harbor master, . shows the following arrivals of vessels of 90 tons and over at the port of Wilming ton during the month of April: American 4 steamships, 5,040 tons. 3 barges, 1,686 tons; 6 schooners, 2,07& tons.

The body of Mr. Tobe Sutton, a well known citizen of Duplin county and a son of Mr. O. W. Sutton, was found near here this morning and the cause of his death appears to be enveloped in mystery. - Mr. Sutton was at Mount Olive about 9 o'clock Monday night and told some friends who were with him that he was going to Faison on the freight train, as it was nearer to his home from the latter place than from Mount Olive. He was last seen alive in one of the Express cars attached to this freight Marshall McCaleb, who found his body this morning, reported the matter to the town authorities and the coroner has been summoned to investigate the cir cumstances of the death. The back of the dead man's head is crushed in as if having been accom plished by a blow and there is a gash about the throat. There is no sign of an encounter about the spot where the body was found and the death remains a mystery for the coroner's jury.
