Wilmington's Sympathy for the Galveston Storm Stricken Sufferers. CONTRIBUTIONS ARE LIBERAL St Paul's Lutheran Church Makes Ready Response The City's Appropriation of $500 Ladles loaarnrate a Movement to Raise Foods. The feeling of sympathy on the part of Wilmington people for the Gal veston storm sufferers becomes more and more intense as the news of the terrible conditions in and around that ill-fated city becomes more appalling from the columns of the- newspapers each day. It is safe to predict that within less than a week the amount contributed publicly and privately will go beyond the $5,000 mark, about half that amount having already been subscribed. A joint meeting of the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce and Merchants' Association was held yesterday after noon at 4 o'clock for the purpose of giving some substantial expression of sympathy for the people of the strick en city. President Jacobi, of the Chamber of Commerce, briefly stated the object of the meeting, and without debate it was unanimously decided, on motion of Capt. T. D. Meares, and seconds by Mr. W. E. Worth and Mr. J. A Taylor, that it was the sense of the meeting that the County Com missioners at the earliest possible mo ment appropriate out of the public fund a like amount with the Board of Al dermen, viz. $500, and that same be transmitted at once through the proper channels to the stricken people. It was also decided as the sense of the meeting, upon the suggestion of Mr. W. E. Springer, that this action need not interfere with personal subscrip tions. The churches of the city were likewise requested to interest them selves in the movement and receive a special collection for the fund. The banks and newspapers of the city were also asked to receive and forward sub scriptions and when it is consistent with the views of the donors to make the fund subject to "the orders of the president of the Chamber of Com merce. The meeting was very har monious and the action will be ap proved by the taxpayers of the county without a dissenting voice. President Jacobi in this connection stated that he had received a letter en closing check of $100 for the fund from Messrs. Alexander Sprunt & Son; also, $5 from Iredell Meares, Esq. Lib eral contributions from members and friends of St. Paul's Lutheran Church amounting to $252, including a gift of $100 from Mr. Andrew Smith, are referred to in another column. Capt C. H. White, Assistant City Clerk and Treasurer, with the appro val of the Board of Audit and Finance, yesterday telegraphed the $500 appro priation made by the city to the storm sufferers and mailed the following let ter to the Mayor of Galveston: "Dear Sir The Board of Aldermen of this city, met yesterday in special session and appropriated $500 to the relief fund of your city. I am directed to remit that amount with an expres sion of tirofound svmpathy from .the Board, which speaks as well for our city generally, for the people of Gal veston in tneir present great uusior tune." The Ladles Insornrate a Movement A laree and enthusiastic gathering of ladies at the Y. M. C. A. yesterday morning decided to give a concert and festival next Tuesday night for the benefit of the fund. A number of the best singers in the city have offered their services for the entertainment, and it is assured that an interesting programme will be arranged. Several contributions were an nounced and those present were thor" oughly enthused over the prospect of a successful event for such a char itable cause. Committees were ap pointed to further arrange for the benefit and in order to give it as wide scope as possible it was decided to hold another meeting this after noon at 5.30 o'clock, to which every lady in the city of Wilmington is most cordially invited. The Stab is nrcrfld to emphasize to them the im portance of being present promptly at the hour named. Another commendable - movement on foot by the ladies will appear from the call issued in another col umn to meet at the residence of Mrs. Roger Moore this afternoon at 4.30 o'clock. Offer by Southern Express Company. Cant J. R. Williams, agent of the Southern Express Company in this city, requests the Stab to announce that his company will receive and for ward free over its lines to point of transfer with connecting companies, contributions of money and clothing for the benefit of the Texas sufferers. Such shipments must be addressed to prop erly constituted relief committees at Galveston or other cities in the State of Texas. Kind Words Prom Raleigh. The Raleigh Post of yesterday, in speaking of the action of the Alder men Wednesday, editorially, says: 'Wilmington's response to the cry of distress from Texas is as generous as it is prompt, a typical illustration of her people under all circumstances of such character." Mrs. J. W. Rourk, of Savan nah, Ga., passed through the city yes terday, returning home from Shallotte, N. C, where she has been visiting re latives and friends. While in the city she was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Rourk. Mor WILMINGTON, N. C FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER U, TO IMPROVE NIXON STREET. Merchants' Association Directors Passed Resolutions Recommending This Work Necessary. The board of directors of the Mer chants' Association, at a meeting held yesterday afternoon, decided to urge upon the early improvement of Nixon street, between Fifth and Ninth, which is now in very bad condition for vehi cles by reason of the heavy sand along this portion, which connects with the Castle Haynes road, which has recent ly been macadamized and which af fords the only entrance into the city by truckers and other farmers in Cape Fear township, who complain that the Castle Haynes road improvement is worthless for the reason that they have to burden their vehicles only to an ex tent which will allow their stock to pull over the short sand stretch inside the city limits. An expression of the views of the merchants along this line is found in the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted at a meeting held yesterday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock in the rooms of the Association in the Seaboard Air Line building : Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that the improvement of Nixon street from Fifth to Ninth street is a crying demand, and that the Board of Aldermen be and are hereby re quested to improve this street at the earliest possible moment In this connection it may be noted that the Streets and Wharves Com mittee of the Board of Aldermen is already turning its attention to this improvement At a recent meeting of the Aldermen, Alderman Taylor, act ing chairman of the committee, re ported that the work would likely be under way very soon by the city and county jointly, as he believed the County Commissioners would readily agree to an equitable proposition look ing to the joint improvement. At the meeting yesterday afternoon Col. W. A. Johnson, the president was in the chair and those present were Messrs. M. W. Jacobi, W. E. Worth, Wm. Niestlie and R. W. Hicks. DEMOCRATS OF ONSLOW Held Largely Attended Ratification Meet ing at Jicksonvllle Wednesday. Thomas and Cook Spoke. The Second Kegiment Band re turned yesterday on the Newbern train from Jacksonville, Onslow county, where it contributed largely to the success of the big Democratic rati fication meeting held there Wednes day in celebration of the sweeping Democratic victory of August 2nd, the present year. The meeting was attended with a degree of success fully up to the expec tations of the un terrified Democracy of Onslow, and nearly two thousand people were present .many of whom had not forgotten their red shirts worn so significantly a few weeks since. In the morning Prof. D. B. Samp son, principal of the Belgrade High School, delivered an address along educational lines, which was listened to attentively and enjoyed by the large number present, which included many ladies and children. There was a horseback procession later in the day and at noon a big bas ket picnic was spread. ' After dinner Hon. C. R. Thomas, Congressman from the Third district made a speech treating in a comprehensive manner' the issues of the national campaign. Hon.H. L. Cook, of Fayetteville, Dem ocratic Elector from the Third district also spoke and made a splendid im pression upon his hearers. Members of the band speak in the most appreciative terms of the hospi tality extended them by the good peo ple of that county and those who were present say that though the band car ried only twelve instruments, it never furnished better music. Mr. W. L. Harvey, an experienced musician, who is now with the Ludden & Bates Music House here, accompanied the band and played B flat cornet. Presi dent Monroe also accompanied it Lieut. Smith at Oalveston. The many friends in Wilmington of Lieut F. W. Smith, who was so pop ularly known among the revenue cutter Algonquin's clever officers ; but who was recently transferred to the cutter Galveston, at Galveston, Texas, feel very apprehensive as to his fate. The vessel was anchored in the harbor when the storm began and he has not been heard of since. It is supposed that she ran out to sea, but as several days have . elapsed since the storm abated its fury and as the Galveston has not put in her appearance, the de partment is apprehensive as to her safety. Funeral of Mr. Skipper. The funeral service of the late Ira Skipper was held at 10 o'clock yester day morning from St Andrews' Pres byterian Church. The ceremony was conducted by Rev. A. D. McClure, the pastor, assisted by Rev. Calvin S. Blackwell, D. D. There was a large attendance of relatives and friends. The remains were laid to rest in Bel levue cemetery. The" following acted as pall bearers: Messrs. J. B. Hand, J. A. Barnes, J. H. Thomas, T. S. Toler, N. M. McEaohern and S, W. Holden. Mr. Chadbourn Slightly Better. A telegram yesterday from Mr. Chas. C. Chadbourn at Chadbourn stated that his brother Mr. Joseph O. Chadbourn, who was stricken with paralysis Wednesday, was slightly better but was still unconscious up to that time. NIN a KINSAULS IS REPRIEVED. Has Been Given Two More Weeks to Live. Intercession of a Methodist Min ister In His Behalf. .Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, N. C, September 13. Governor Russell has reprieved Archie Kinsauls, the Sampson county murderer who was to have been exe cuted to morrow, until Friday, Sep tember 28th. This action was taken because of Kinsauls' condition result ing from attempted suicide last Fri day, when he was to have been hanged. His neck is still in bad condition, and he is said to be trying to starve himself to death to prevent disgrace and the horror of perishing on the gallows. Governor Russell has been flooded with petitions in this case and last evening Rev. H. E. Tripp, the jfetho dist minister from Clinton, was here beseeching for further reprieve for the condemned man. Kinsauls' wife is exerting every ef fort in behalf of the life of her hus band. She has personally -worked up a petition for commutance in Wil mington. Rev. Mr. Tripp brought with him to Raleigh a letter from Dr. A. M. Lee, Kinsauls' physician, stating that the condemned man is now in & very feeble condition. His throat is very sore and it will be several days before the wound will heal. He further stated that he would ask, if not incon sistent with the Governor's own idea, that the execution be stayed long enough for the wound to heal. Governor Russell also to day post poned the execution of Drayton Med lin, a white man, until Friday, Octo ber 19 th. Medlin was tried in Dallas, Gaston county, for the murder of Superintendent Brown, of a cotton mill in which Medlin worked. He was found guilty and sentenced to be hanged at Dallas. His execution has been postponed because of urgent peti tions to the Governor to give time to examine properly prayers for com mutance of Medlin's sentence to life imprisonment. To-morrow Chancey Davis, a negro will be hanged at Tarboro for burning Battle's residence at that place. Gov ernor Russell has declined to inter vene and the negro will pay the pen alty for hf crime of arson on the scaf fold. THE NATIONAL CAMPAIGN. Second Ward Organized for the Pray. Other Clubs Will Follow Suit To-night. The Second Ward White Supremacy Club, President W. E. Springer in the chair and Secretary R. C. Sloan at his post set the pace for her sister wards last night in reorganizing for the na tional campaign. There was a splendid attendance and enthusiasm marked the proceedings throughout. The or ganization decided to take upon itself the name of "Bryan and Stevenson Democratic Club of the Second Ward" and all the old officers were elected for this the third campaign, the club having remained intact since the memorable campaign of 1898. The constitution and by-laws governing the club in the State campaign were adopted. It was decided to' hold weekly meetings on Thursday nights in the rooms of the Merchants' Associ ation. The other clubs of the city are called to meet to-night at the several places designated in yesterday's Stab at the authorization of Chairman Johnson and it is. sincerely hoped that honest Democrats seeking the triumph of Democratic principles will be present in large numbers. There are peculiar reasons why Wil mington Democrats should show no laxity of effort in politics and to night's meetings should be marked by enthu siasm and numbers. CAROLINA CLUB REGATTA Will Be Sailed This Morning Oyer the Banks' Channel Course. The Carolina Yacht Club regatta which was postponed from last Satur day, will ba sailed this morning over the club course, beginning at 11 o'oclock. The "Little Alice," Capt S. P. Cowan, and the "Question," Capt Aubrey Parsley, will be the. only entries, and as these are considered to be the fastest sailing yachts .in the club, the result of this morning's race will be looked forward to with keen interest by the many admirers of the two boats and their crews. The race will be the first of a series of three in which the "Lord Cup" will be contested for. The winning yacht in -to-day's regatta will be presented with the "champion flag." Dr. C. M. Payne Dead. Mr. Charles Payne, of Washington, N. C, who has been here on a visit to his cousin, Mr. H. G. Fennell, was called home last night by a telegram conveying the very sad news of the death of his father, Rev. C. M. Payne' D. D. Dr. Payne's death was very sudden, as his son was reading a posta card from him saying that he was well when the telegram was delivered. Dr. Payne was pastor qf St Andrew's Church for ten years, from 1874 to 1884, and was much beloved by his congregation and others who knew him. After he left Wilmington he went to Concord, and from there he moved to Washington, where he was pastor of the Presbyterian church at the time of his death. Mr. Edmund R. Foster has re turned from Charlotte, where he spent a pleasant vacation with relatives. 1900, FIRE IN WASHINGTON The Loss Estimated at Over One Hundred and Fifty Thou- I sand Dollars.

C, September 13. At a meeting of citizens late this after noon' nearly three hundred dollars was raised for the Galveston sufferers and a committee was appointed to so licit contributions to-morrow. . The penitentiary, which has so long been a burden on the taxpayers of the State, is again badly in need of funds. This morning the management tried to get from the State Treasurer's office $35,000, but Treasurer Worth declined to let thera have it. He says the peni tentiary drew $55,400 from the State Treasury last year, which the Legisla ture provided for as a loan, but that none of it has ever been paid back, and instead demand has been made for the $50,000 appropriated for this year. A voluntary petition in bankruptcy has been filed by W. E. Jones, a dry goods merchant here. His liabilities are $22,000, and his assets about $6,000.
