The Cotton Market Yesterday. All the talk on the floor of the Pro duce Exchange yesterday was of the phenomenal rise in cotton, which went up like a flash upon the opening of the New York spot and futurt markets. The local quotations for spot cotton as furnished yesterday afternoon by the Produce Exchange were on a basis of 10i cents for middling, though the Stab was unable to find that there were sales at the ad vanced figures. The local business appeared to have been somewhat de moralized by the sudden rise, but is expected to resume the "even tenor of its way" to day. The New York closine spot quotation yesterday was quiet at 10$ cents. Formerly of Rocky Point. The Stab learns from a State ex change that the Democrats of the Fourth Congressional District in Cali fornia have nominated for Congress Porter Ashe, a son of Dr. Richard Porter Ashe, originally from Rocky Point, this State. Porter Ashe, it is learned, was the only Democratic Senator in the last State Senate of California. Dr. Richard Porter Ashe, his father, was a brother of Hon. Wil liam S. Ashe, who lived in Wilming ton and at one time represented this district in Congress. He was also for a time president of the Wilmington and Weldon railroad. f HE HORACE fl. MUNSON.

He was also very prominent in Masonic circles, his connection with that order dating from 1865, when he became a Master Mason iu St. John's Lodge, No. 1, afterwards serving from 1868 to 1873 as Master of the Lodge. He was also Master of the Grand Lodge for the term 1877-'78.

He served as (Jommander from 1875 to inclusive, and in 1881 he was selected to constitute the Grand Commandery of North Carolina, of which he was elected the first Grand Commander, serving during the years 1881 and 1882.

An excursion to Raleigh via the Seaboard Air Line yesterday carried about two hundred people. The train will return to the city to-night. According to the law marsh hens and other sea birds may be killed after Sept 1st. until April 1st of the year following and not vice versa as erroneously printed in the Stab Sunday morning.

The storm that wrought such ruin at Galveston and other Texas towns was one of the most terrible that has ever occured in the United States, and the suffering it 1; as caused will strike a sympathetic chora in the hearts of all our people. Much money will be needed for the beggared and starving people of our sister State, and it may be regarded as a certainty that an ap peal for aid will be made to the people of our whole country. In this event. the Stab suggests that a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce be held, and that a strong committee be ap pointed to solicit contributions. This will be the most practical way to raise a sum commensurate with our duty to our suffering fellow citizens. Remember, people of Wilmington, that the very storm which did its fear ful work ia Texas was at one time heading straight for our own city ; but we were mercifully spared. LONDON WHARF SOLD. Property Bought at Auction by Hall & Pearsall for $13,800. Mr. John W. Fries, of Salem, re ceiver for the North State Improve ment Company, sold at public auction at noon yesterday under a decree of the Superior Court of Forsyih county, the wharf property, known as the London wharf, now occupied by the Atlantic Coa'.t Line railroad. Mr. Wilkes Morris cried off the property. The first offer, $12,000, was made by Mr. J. W. Norwood. It was finally knocked down to Mr. Oscar Pearsall, of the firm of Hall & Pearsall, for $13,800. The sale is subject to con firmation by the Forsyth county court, which convenes in November. The wharf is a valuable prop erty, situated in the south end of block 190, according to the official plan of the city, and lies on the water front be tween Chesnut and Grace streets. It also has a frontage on Water street and comprises a part of the C. F. 8c Y. V. shed, the building in which are the stores of C. C. Covington & Co. and J. T. Kiley & Co. and a large va cant lot north of the building. Attention, Democrats Democrats should not forget the call of State Chairman Simmons, Wm. J. Bryan, Adlai E. Stevenson, Jas. K. Jones, Wm. R. Hearst, Josephus Daniels, Julian S. Carr, B. C. Beck with and E. Chambers Smith for a thorough organization in all the States. For North Carolina the plan is for all the White Supremacy clubs of 1896 to be re organized as Bryan and Steven son clubs.

Editor Star It may be of interest to the Wilmington Elks, and the pub lic in general, to know of the superb social session given, by the Charlotte Lodge complimentary to Wilmington Lodge No. 532, of the Benevolent Pro tective Order of Elks. The affair was delightful and conducted in an ele gant style at the handsome club rooms of the Charlotte Lodge imme diately after the Al Field's minstrel performance at the Opera House. About 300 guests were present at the social session. The entertainment was ably presided over by William J. Bellamy, Esq., who had been elected chairman by the Charlotte Lodge some weeks ago. His address as chair man was a masterpiece of English, beautifully delivered, and evidently appreciated from the burst of ap plause that followed him. The Wilmington Elks should feel proud of the excellent manner in which Mr. Bellamy represented them, for the gathering was composed of some of the most prominent local business men, and all were profuse in their praise and congratulations of his very able effort. The Elks are un doubtedly the "biggest people in Char lotte," the membership consisting of the most prominent citizens, and the lodge room as handsome as any in the South. Hospitality was the order of the day, and the Wilmington boys were treated royally. A pleasant part of the programme was the rendition of some beautiful songs by members of the Al Field Company and a bright witty speech by Al Field himself. Wilmington Elks who were present will long remember the high honor conferred upon them, and doubtless will reciprocate in the near future. KINSAULS REPORTED WEAKER. May Not Survive Until Friday Petitions Circulated in His Behalf. Mrs. Archie Kinsauls, wife of the condemned murderer in Clinton jail, arrived in the city yesterday and be gan the circulation of a petition which asks the Governor, in view cf the re cent circumstances connected with the case, to commute her husband's sen tence to life imprisonment. She had secured nearly 400 endorsements of the request up to last night. The peti tion was drawn at Clinton and sets forth that it would be inhuman to put a rope around the murderer's neck, which is now very sore from his re cent attempt at suicide by cutting his throat with a pocket knife. Jailor George W. Millis also circulated a similar petition and received about 150 signers. Two other petitions are also being liberally signed in Sampson county asking for a commutation of the sentence. a gentleman who came down last night said IZinsauls was weaker yester day, and has not partaken of nourish ment since Thursday, except a little brandy and milk. There appears to be a doubt of his surviving until Friday, the day set for his execution. THE MUNICIPAL COURT. Case Against Brewer and Wiley Continued Until To-day Other Offences. Ed Brewer and Wiley Mazingo, the young men who were arrested Satur day night on the charge of highway rdbberv. a full account cf which was given in Sunday's Star, were arraign ed before Mayor Waddell yesterday morning. They claimed that Mr. Moore's little brother gaye them the letters which they were accused of taking and said that if they were given time they would produce witnesses who would verify their statement. hence the case was continued until this morning to allow them to get their witnesses. However, the four State witnesses who were examined yesterday were recognized for their appearance at the next term of Crim inal Court. There were also eight cases of drunk enness on the docket; three for disor derly conduct, and three for an affray. The defendant's were fined in accord ance with the gravity of each case. Christian Science Treatment. Newborn has something of a sensa tion in the case of Henry Parsons, a child of eleven years of age who died at the home of his mother in that city on Saturday, medical aid having been dispensed with by the parent and the Christian Science treatment adminis tered by Miss Hatchie Harrison, a member of the church of that denomi nation in Newbern. A Coroner's jury and an autopsy demanded by a num ber of leading citizens developed that the boy had a mild type of malarial fever which would have readily yield ed to medical treatment a single dose of calomel or quinine, as one of the physicans put it The verdict of the jury was as follows : "The child was suffering from ma larial fever and did not receive medi cal treatment because he was under the care of Miss Hatchie Harrison, a Christian Scientist We find from the evidence his death was the result of improper treatment and neglect We further find from the evidence that the child in all probability would have re covered if he had had proper medical treatment." The matter of arrest was left to the Grand Jury of the Criminal Court. Pender Superior Court. Pender County Superior Court, Judge Fred Moore presiding, convened at Burgaw yesterday morning. No cases of interest are to be tried at this term. The criminal docket will likely be finished by to day noon and the civil docket will most probably be exhausted by to morrow night Wilmington attorneys in attendance upon the term are L. V. Grady, E, K. Bryan, Mars- den Bellamy and A. J. Marshall, Esqs. i 1900 SAMPSON POPULISTS. Fifteep of the Leading Ones 3 Bofind Over to the Duplin ! Superior Court. CHARGES, CRIMINAL LIBEL. Hearing) Yesterday of the Action Brought by Chairman Kerr at Warsaw The Defendants Gave Bond in the ! Sum of $1,000 Each. fT Special Star Correspti&idence. Warsaw, N. C, Sept. 10. The de fendants in the Sampson county libel warrant all answered to their names to day before Justice J. F. Woodard's court except ex-Cougre3sman Jno. E. Fowler ,j who had presented a certifi cate froin Dr. A. M. Lee stating he was physicafly unable to attend the trial and theJustice continued the hearing as to hm; until Monday, September 24th, as also ho did in the case of Marion ?, Cooper, who has never been arrested. Your correspondent learns tftat Mr Cooper is working at Rocky 'Mount, N. - C, and that he avoidedSarrest by the sheriff of Samp son county when the warrant was first in the sheriff's hands. The Justice of the Peace ' sent a duplicate warrant to the sheriff of Nash county for him but this was not returned at the hearing, to-day. , The prosecution introduced B. L. Ezzell and L. C. Carltoa, two Duplin county subscribers of the Caucasian, both of! whom received their paper throughfthe postoffice at this place the fornfer having the Raleigh edition of the pamper and the Utter the Clinton Caucasian, both papers having the same articles of the issues of the 16th and 23rc August. Capt. i5.;W, Kerr was introduced for the prosecution and proved that G. E. Butler acknowledged to him that he was the author of the article. "The People of Sampson county Indignant, " which contained the alleged libellous assertions. Both papers were then introduced. The prosecution rested its case. The defendants introduced no evidence. The prosecution was conducted by Jno. E. Woodard, Esq., of Wilson, and Col. Jno. D. Kerr, of Clinton, whose splendid management received compliments on all sides. The defence was managed by F. R. Cooper, of the Clinton bar. His entire defence was technical and weak. He argued that the statute relative to counties whose dividing lines were rivers and bays of water applied, but the Justice of the Peace promptly ruled this out. He then contended that as the indignation meeting $?as held in Sampson and the defendants all lived there the Justice of the Peace could only bind over to that county. This was likewise re fused by 'justice Woodard. The bonds of the defendants were fixed at $1,000, which were secured by Maurie Ward and Charlie Vann, who justified n that sum. These defend ants will'have a hearing at the next term of Duplin Superior Court, begin ning Dect 1st, 1900. That partjof Mr. John E. Woodard's remarks referring to the excited condi tion of the political parties in Samp son county, in which he told George Butler and the other Populists pres ent that eace, if a real peace, was and always had been acceptable to the Democrats of Sampson and the entire State, but if nothing but war would suit then! they should be accommo dated if ij, took the entire State to do so; butjhis course uttenpg crimi nal and libelous charges was not safe ; it wa3 foolish; it , disregarded the courts; intended to a breach of the peace ; it .was suicidal ; was especially good ancf your correspondent heard some of the! Populists commend this sentiment, i The management of the case by Mr. Woodard? was all that the friends of law and good order could wish and is a fresh laarel in his already full crown. A large number of both Populists and Democrats were present at the examination, but the affair passed off quietly. MARRIED-IN RALEIGH. Miss M. Pflddison, of Point Caswell, and Mr. Leopold Taylor, of Wilmington. Republican Nominations. Special Star Telegram. Raleigh,. N. C, Sept 10. An ex cursion came here to-day over the Sea board Aij Line from Wilmington, with five hundred people on it. Among those on board were Leopold Taylor, of Wilmington, and Miss M.

The selection of an elector was left with the executive committee, it being hoped that a McKinley Populist or gold Democrat may be induced to take it !
