IMPERFECT CENSUS-TAKING. b Plainly ia Evidence frets Aaaoasce raent ef the Bureau st Washington Some Interesting Comparisons With Past Records. As wil 1 be seen by a reference to the telegraphic dispatches in the St as this morning, the Census Bureau at Washington in announcing its North Carolina bulletin credits New Han over county with a population of only 35,785, including, of course, the city of Wilmington. While everybody knows the city of Wilmington is vir tually New Hanover county, so far as population figures go, there will be few who will contend that the an nouncement has -the least semblance of accuracy in it, for, as has been pre viously stated in these columns, there is no denying that the city and coun ty have made more substantial gains than Uncle Sam seems willing to grant us. Imperfections in the man ner of taking the census found review in the newspapers when enumerators bad finished their canvass and loyal New Hanover county people are loath to believe that they have not increased in number by 3,000 during the past ten years. While no definite announcement as to the exact population of the city of Wilmington has been made, the figures may be pretty accurately drawn from the statements as to the county. Esti mating from the relative population of the city and county for the census of 1880 and that of 1890, the number of inhabitants in the county outside of Wilmington may be safely placed without detriment to the city at 3,760, which would make the poulation of Wilmington 83.036. It must be borne in mind, however, that the "exact" figures must come later from the Cen sus Bureau. The following are the official figures for the past two census: 1880.- 1890. City 17,361 80,066 County 81,876 34,036 The population of the city in the census of 1870 was 13,446, showing, with the figures from the above table, that the gain by each census for the past thirty years is in larger per cent, than that of the present year. The following table ss to the dis tribution of population with regard to tbe races may also be read with in terest in this connection, the figures referring to the city alone : White. Negro. Total. 13,446 17,360 80,056 1870 6,686 7,930 1880 6,888 10,468 1890 8,731 11,325 The population in 1890 was dis tributed according to other distinctions as follows: Male, 9.887; female, 10, 769. Native born, 19,544; foreign born, 618. It will will probably be some time before the population of the city will be announced ia detail. ACCIDENT ON MARKET STREET. Mr. Wm. Hutaff Ran lite a Bagfy While Riding His Bicycle. Yesterday afternoon about dusk, Mr. William J. Hutaff, private secre tary to President E. C. Holt, of Del gad o Mills, whilefreturning to the city from Delgado village on his bicycle, collided at Seventh and Market streets with a buggy in which Mr. Robt. H. Northrop was riding, and was thrown to the ground. He received several gsshes on his face . besides being bruised on his body. Mr. Northrop picked up the young man and took him to his home, 717 Chesnut street, where Dr. W. J. H. Bellamy ren dered the necessary medical attention. Mr. Hutaff s injuries, though not serious, are very painful. The accident occurred in this way : Mr. Hutaff was riding bis wheel down Market street and Mr. Northrop was driving out the street. It was almost dark and before either Mr. Northrop or Mr. Hutaff could stop, they ran to gether with the above results. The bicycle was badly smashed. Foot Ball Games. Quite a number of young men have expressed an intention of going to Richmond to night to witness the Thanksgiving foot ball game between the University of Virginia and the University of the South. The latter team played North Carolina to a stand still in Atlanta a few weeks since, neither team soaring. There are also a few people who will go from here to Washington, D. C, to witness Car olina's last game of the season sgainst the strong Georgetown University team. The "Tar Heels" will put forth every effort in the struggle. Rev. Mr. King Will Speak. Rev. A. T. King, of Virginia, who is in the city visiting his father, Mr. L. J. King, will speak at the usual Wednesday evening service at South side Baptist Church to-day. Bev. Mr. King is a graduate of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, of Louisville, Ky., and has the degree of A. M. from Richmond College. He is an interesting speaker and will no doubt be heard by a large congrega tion. On account of the extreme warm weather at this season of the year the Flahblate Clothing Co. will sell for one weak their stock of goods at a great bargain, as' they wish to reduce their immense stock. See their advertise ment 1 Y. M. C. A. DIRECTORS MET. Every Department of the Institution ia a Flourishing Condition-Reports Very Gratifying and Encouraging.

Howell, who has charge of the night school, reported that the work in that line is more satisfactory now than it ever has been. Thirty-two young men are attending the school and all are making progress. The report of Mr. Will Herring, secretary of the Board, brought out some very interesting figures con cerning the result of the re cent membership contest. The contest netted the Association $1,330. The number of new members received was 165, snd the number of renewals was 97, making 363 received in all. The total number of members of the association now reaches 436, 65 of which are juniors. The report showed further that all debts of the Y. M. C. A have been paid and it now has a nice sum of money in the bank. Mr. C. C. Brown also made a good report of the work in the gymnasium. In fact all the reports were very en couraging and showed that the associ ation is doing splendid work in every department. THANKSGIVING FOOT BALL. Wilmington sad Wilson Teams Will Meet oi Gridiron st Hilton Park To-morrow Afternoon. Much interest is centered in the ap proaching foot ball game between Wilmintrton and Wilson to morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock at Hilton Park and a large crowd of foot ball enthusi asts will no doubt witness the contest Wilmington and Wilson stand a tie on cni a. Wilmington having wen from W. - m in 1897 and the defeat which Wilmington sustained at the hands of the Wilson team in 1898 is stinging to the ears of Wilminsrtonians yet Tbe tie will be plaved off to morrow afternoon and both teams will go in the game to do or die. A telegram received yesterday by the msnsger of the Wilmington team from a party in Wilson signed "Friend," says: "If you expect to win put a strong team on tbe field. "Johnnie" Moore always gets up a good eleven and he may be depended upon to do the same thing again this year. The Wilmington pigskin push ers have fully organised and are in excellent condition to face Moore's aggregation. Many of the men com posing the home team are veterans, and experience in a game like the one to morrow goes a long ways. The game should be well patronized, especially ss to morrow will be a gen eral holiday. The Street Railway Company will run cars to the grounds and will be fully prepared to handle the crowd. A CHANGE OP CARRIERS. Mr. Arthur Prempert Goes to Winston and Mr. Gn ton Comes Here. Mr. A. B. Guyton and family, of Winston, arrived in the city last even ing and will make this city their home in the future. Mr. Guyton, a letter carrier for the past seven years and a gentleman of many sterling traits of character, has come to exchange places with Mr. Arthur Prempert who will leave for Winston in a few days, be ginning his work as carrier in the Winston office about December 1st, when Mr. Guyton will begin here. Mr. Prempert is president of the State Association of Letter Carriers, and has many -friends here who will regret to know of his departure. He has been in the service for ten years and is thoroughly competent and re liable in the handling of the mail. The change of Mr. Prempert to the Win ston office and Mr. Guy ton's transfer to the Wilmington office is made for healthful reasons only. Mr. Guyton is a native ' of Pender county and lived in Wilmington about seven years ago. Trip Up Northesst River. For the benefit of those who desire a splendid day's outing on Thanksgiv ing Capt George Warren, of the launch Morning Star, advertises that his staunch little boat will make a trip up Northeast river and will take pas sengers.

A number of lady friends will be invited and those who desire will be permitted to stop oyer at South -port The Reserves expect to get back to the city to-morrow night. The choosing of officers at the meeting last night amounted to a re-election and the unanimity with which a choice was expressed is a handsome compliment to these gentlemen, who have so identified themselves with.the Division during the past year and whose capa abilities to lead find such splendid ex pression in the healthy condition of the company from every view point to-day. The "Royal Bouncers," the social organization of the Reserves, also held high carnival last night and the imps danced at a variegated pace about the form of Mr. John T. Yates, the genial superintendent of the Wilmington fire alarm system. He survived the initiation, and will, perhaps, be about his usual duties to-day. FESTIVE HEPTASOPHS LAST (SIGHT. Tbe Members of Oriental Conclave Held SB interesting Social Session. Members of Oriental Conclave No. 1, Heptasophs or Seven Wise Men, en joyed a delightful repast last night af ter the regular lodge exercises in their hall on South Front street.

McMillan, the evening was pleasantly spent in social intercourse and conversation regarding lodge mat ters. A pleasing feature of the evening's festivities was the singing by Mr. K. W.

Schooner Mabel Dariisg Arrived is Port Yesterday from tbe West ladles. The British schooner Mabel Darling, 111 tons, Capt Roberts, arrived in port yesterday from Nassau in the West Indies.

THAT WILL DEPEND ON THE Results of the Investigations Now Being Made by the Commissioners With the Owner of the Property A Prospective Trip. It now appears quite likely that the county authorities will abandon the rock quarries at Castle Haynes, which they have been operating by lease for tbe past several months as a source for a supply of rock for ioad improvement, and will establish a new quarry on tbe Hermitage tract of land near Castle Haynes, on the Wilmington and Wei don railroad. The supply of suitable rock on this tract, which embraces about 2, 500 acres, is said to be almost unlimited and more easily available than the material at Castle Haynes, where it Js necessary to remove so much overlay to get a desirable article in macadam rock. J ' This matter, however, will be settled by the Board of County Commis sioners at a meeting to be be held very soon and any definite announcement as to the plans thus far would ba pre mature. Mr. Ceo. C. Burgwin, of Pittsburg, Pa., owner of tbe land upon which the rock is deposited, arrived in the city a few days ago with a view to making some arrangements with the county relative to the opening of a mine on the tract, and yesterday, in company with Mr. D. McEachern, chairman, and Mr. F. A. Montgomery, a member of the Board of County Commis sioners, he visited the place and showed the authorities over the field. A number of convicts were brought over from the stockade at Castle Haynes and "soundings" were made at several points on Mr. Burg win's land to ascertain the depth, quality, etc., of the rock available. The investigation by Messrs. Mc Eachern and Montgomery was not finished yesterday, and Mr. McEach ern will examine further to-day into the practicability of securing a supply there. The Commissioners will meet upon' the conclusion of the investigation and some arrangements will then be be made with Mr. Burgwin relative to opening a mine on his property, pro vided the result of the investigation is favorable to the scheme. ALGONQUIN WILL CRUISE. Revenue Cotter Arrived in Port Yester day Afternoon after Short Absence. The Algonquin arrived in port yes terday afternoon after a cruise of ten days along the coast. She went as far South as Tybee Roads. Capt. Willey stated jto a Star reporter last night that they had splendid weather and a delightful trip. He says the Algonquin will be in port until the latter part of the first week in December, when she will go on her Winter cruise along the coast from Hatteras to Charleston. This will be done in compliance with the recent orders from the Treasury Department for all revenue cutters to cruise from December 1st to April 1st, 1901. Capt. Willey says the Algonquin will cruise the greater part of the time named and will come in port only to take on ship's stores, etc., and then for only a few hours at a time. Divine Healers Will Leave. It is announced that the "Divine Healerb" will shake the dust of Wil mington from their shoes to-day and seek a more prolific fieJd for patients who will yield to their odd treatment. No meeting was held yesterday after noon or last night, or if so it was short lived and devoid of interest. The appearance in Wilmington has been very much akin to failure and if there have been any miraculous cures, the beneficiaries have been very quiet. These disci ties of "divine healing" have only served to give the' wags and tattlers occupation for a few days and when they are gone the city, per haps, will be not much the loser. Married In Beaufort. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. 8. Robinson, of Beaufort, N. C, passed through the city yesterday on tneir bridal trip. They were married yesterday morn ing at 5.30 o'clock at Beaufort and arrived here at 13.15 o'clock over the Wilmington and Newborn railroad and left at 2 o'clock for Southport. Mrs. Robinson before her marriage was Miss Susie K. Pool, an attractive young lady of Beaufort. At the Postof f Ice. Holiday hours will prevail to mor row (Thanksgiving day) at the post office.

A "CAPTAIN'S MATE" Very Cleverly Presented Lsst Evening by . the Mabel Paige Company. A "Captain's Mate" was cleverly presented to a large and appreciative audience last night toy the Southern Stock Company, featuring that charm ing little actress, Miss Mabel Paige, who appeared in the title role, Margie Chester," making a winsome ragged heroine and a pretty sailor boy. Her support is clever, including Mr. Charles Tolson, as Capt. Sidney Penfield, and Mr. W. A. Lang, as Michael Flannigan. Mr. Lang makes a tip-top tar before the mast and a fine Irishman. He is one of the best acro batic specialists seen here in some time; in fact, all the specialties were highly appreciated and very much en joyed by an audience which veritably crowded the theatre.
