News was received in the city yes terdar afternoon of the death of Mr. James A. Hewlett Jr., which occurred soon after noon at the home of his father, Mr. James A. Hewlett Sr., on Greenville Sound. . Mr. Hewlett was only 27 years of age and was a young man of brieht promise. His deatn came as a shock to his numerous friends in the county and city. He was taken suddenly ill yesterday morning about daylight with conges tion of the brain and grew gradually worse until death came, as stated. The funeral will be held this morning at 9 o'clock from the residence, and the in terment will be at the Hewlett bury ing ground on Masonboro Sound.

Chamber of Commerce Will Try to la dace Maanfactorer of Tasks, Etc , to Locate Here. The meeting of .the Chamber of Commerce was not held yesterday af ternoon for the lack of a quorum but those present informally discussed a number of matters pertaining to Wil mington's - commercial advancement and withal the assembling of the few present despite the verylhot weather, and the enthusiasm shown, is indica tive of a spirit which is commendable in Wilmington's business men. One of the most important matters that came up was the notification of the Chamber by President Jacobi of the fact that a gentleman in Florida is casting about for the location of a manufactory of tanks, woodenware, etc. One of the essentials to the estab lishment of this enterprise and one which Wilmington possesses, is a bountiful supply of cypress timber. The gentleman in question also desires five acres of land upon which to es tablish his plant He states that his factory will employ about forty men at the start and that the number will be increased as the enterprise succeeds. President Jacobi referred the letter to the Committee on Information and Statistics, which is composed of Messrs. C. C. Covington. J. B. Mer cer and J. G. I. Gieschen. The Secretary was instructed to no tify other committees to which a num ber of matters have been referred, that early reports on same are earnestly de sired. THE WEATHER YESTERDAY. Thermometer Easily Daplicated Figures Shown oo Day Previous. The weather again - yesterday was extremely warm and the record of the day before was duplicated, much to the discomfiture of those not blessed with the virtue of patience in an abundant measure. 1 The thermometer dilly dallied along during the early afternoon, refusing to climb probably on account of the in difference provoked by the weather to as high a notch as attained on the day before, but between 4 and 5 o'clock it could stand the pressure no longer and readily registered the maximum ninety-seven the same as on the day previous. The minimum for the day was 74, reached early in the morning, probably about 5 o'clock when everybody wanted to sleep. Private thermometers on a level with the streets did not hesitate to record 104 in some places and these were credited generally with more veracity by a less exacting public, who chose to make the worst of the condition. Wilmington is, however, faring much better than her neighbors re moved from the coast When it was 97 here Wednesday, the maximum at Cheraw was 103; at Florence, 100; at Lumberton, 99, and at Charleston, 98. Observer Felger last night said that the indications are for, continued fair and warm weather. DEATH 0P MR. JAS. H CARR. Died at His Home ia Duplin Wednesday Aftereoon The Funeral.

The bereaved members, of the ' family have the sincere sympathy of a wide circle of friends. Jr. 0. U. A. M. Excnrsion. About 500 people availed themselves during yesterday and last night of the opportunity afforded by the first an nual excursion to Carolina Beach by the Junior Order of American Me chanics. The weather was just warm enough to drive people most anywhere ouUide.of the city and the cooling breeze of a trip on the steamer was just what the people wanted. There was music and dancing at the beach and on the boat refreshments were served. The excursion was highly successful from every point of view, and Jeff Davis Council is to be com plimented upon it . Died la Germany. Mrs. Anna Hashagen, relict of the late Henry G. Hashagen and well known by many friends in Wilming ton, died at her home in Hanover, Germany, July 25th, at the age of sixty years.

INDICTMENf S OF YESTERDAY. The Criminal Court Had Another Long Session Csses Were'of Little Gen eral Interest Judgment in the . Sheridan Case. The grand jtiry of the present term of the Criminal Court threw a bomb shell into the business world of the city yesterday! morning when about t irteen of the; most prominent com mercial and professional men were served with .1 subpoenas, instanter, summoning them to appear in court to answer charges of failure to pay Schedule B. tix. which is due and payable the first ten days of June. Those who were summoned took the easiest way out of thedifficulty and paid up all Arrears and the cost, which amounted to something over $8 in each case. Many of them, too, expressed greait indignation that they should be hauled up before the court and made to pay costs, which in some instances! amounted to more than the amount du,e. Several claimed that they had no notice of the tax due, and while they could not expect; strictly speaking, for the authorities to notify them, a precedent established led them to believe that' they would be notified before radical steps were taken. They also say that notices through the press were' very unsatisfactory in that, for the sake of brevity, ihey did not enter into details and no self application could be made; ' The authorities, however, claim that delinquents were notified in person from one to half a dozen times and that at the beginning of the court the papers, by request, stated that the solicitor would enter a vigorous prose cution im suqh cases. They further also very properly say that they were net obliged to! make any notification whatever; that the authorities re gretted to take such a step, but that "patience had ceased to be a virtue." There are about twenty bills re turned in such cases, but only thir teen have th'us far been executed. Others willlikely follow to-day. The court proper yesterday held another long session and an adjourn ment for thef night was not taken until 7 o'clock; None of the cases was, however, of much general interest. Judgment was entered in the case of Mamie Sheridan, for keeping a dis orderly house.- She was required to pay a fine of $100 and costs amount ing to about the same as the fine. The case against young Riley Smith for stabbing Lonnie Gurganus came up and Smith: was fined $25. Gur ganus was fined $10 for assault and battery with a deadly weapon. The following is. the docket of the cases disposed : Mamie Sheridan, disorderly house: $100 fine and cost ; cost to be paid cash and capias to issue if fine is not paid on Monday. 5 B.
