M. C. A. Building. MOST WORTHY INSTITUTION. Reports of Officers and of Board of 01 rectors Show a Sncceasfnl Year's Work Tribute to Valued Ser vices of Rev. Dr. Strange. The sixth annual meeting of the Associated Charities was held at three P. M. yesterday at the Y. M. O. A: Rav. C. S. Blaekwell, D. D., the president, was in the chair: the seden tary, Miss Carrie Price, was also pres ent The report of the directors was read by Rev. A. D. McClure and it showed that the work of the past year has been very satisfactory in every particular. The report details the work of the Board at its quarterly meetings held during the year; the announcement of the death of the vice president,. Col. Roger Moore, at the April meeting and the election of Mr. P. Pearsall to succeed him in that office and Mr. James F. Post to suc ceed him as a member of the Board of Directors; the announcement at .the meeting in July, of the death of Mrs. R. N. Sweet, one of the Society's most effi cient superintendents, and at the sug gestion of the officers of the First Presbyterian church the election of Mrs. William War rock to fill the vacancy, and the purpose o' the Board to henceforth hold its quarterly meet ings on the second Thursdays of January, April, July and October of each year. The decline of pauperism. increased efficiency in dealing with street beggars and tramps and a good financial condition are shown from the secretary's report and that official ia highly complimented for her pains taking, faithful and efficient work during the year, together with super intendents and other officers. The loss by the removal of Dr. Strange to another city is deplored and merited praise of his great service is noted. The president, Rev. C. S. Blaekwell, D. D., made his annual report as fol lows: Yoke Fellows ia Labors of Love. Another, the sixth year of our or ganization, has added confirmation to the public convictionthat the poor of. Wilmington are well provided for, and at the least possible expense. None have suffered, and an equitable disbursement of funds has been made after personal and painstaking investi gation in each case. Lest people for get, we reiterate here tne chief charac teristics of our work as set forth by Dr. Strange in the third annual re port: ITirst. We frown down and dis courage in every way possible all begging at the door, at the store, or on the street. Begging degrades the beg gar, it weakens character, and breeds deceit and laziness. Send every one to the central office. If they say they have been and the association will not help, that is sufficient reason why you should not help. If you fear you may be turning off a worthy person in dis tress, thinking possibly tne Associated Charities may not be able to assist, send a note with the beggar to the centra offiee, authorizing the secretary to help, if worthy, and charge to you. Second We make thorough inves tigations. We make visits to the homes. We ask the police for infor mation.. And also we find out where the money goes. We ask you to stand by our Investigations. If we in vestigate and then think it best not to helD, you support us and also refuse to help. If a family drops in on us from the country to swell onr already large pauper list, leaving better homes in the country, we tell them we cannot help them here, but will neip tnem in get ting back home, you support us in the policy we have found neccesaaryV' Let the public be fully assured that not a worthy one will be permitted to suffer in this city if the case is made known to us. lie equally certain mat frauds will deligently be sought out and refused. The Board of Directors at the list meeting very appropriately directed that this report should bear special testimony to the work of Rev. Robt. Strange, D. D., in behalf of this asso ciation. The only regret of your President is that a reasonable limit of this report forbids full justice to the subject. As the burden of promiscous charity rests neaviest upon tne time ana sirengin oi me ministers, it wr . T . . . f . I but natural that three clergymen of Wilmington, Rev. W. O. Norman, D. D., Rev. P. H. Hoge, D. D., and Rev. Robert Strange, D. D., should originate the present wise and equit able system of Associated Charities, and it is no disparagement to others to say, in many respects, in relation to this work, the greatest oi inese was Dr. Strange. His almost life long res idence in the eity, and perfect knowl edge of the people who should help and who should receive help, together with his warm heart united to a singularly-practical mind made him the man of peculiar fitness to launch this institution, and steer it success fully through the first break ers of doubt, discussion and adoption. The deft touch of his prac tical hand is visible in the personnel of its first managers and officers. The mark of his consecrated common sense is seen In almost all of its acts and un dertakings for the first six years of its ooerationa. The fine frictionless ad justment of its simple machinery to ?. . l i.- a tne coumy, city, caureuw sou Kcuomi public, by which accomplishes so much without noise and observation, is very like the finely poised personality of Dr. Strange himself. It is, therefore, nroner that we should express here our highest esteem of the man who did such a good work for the people and the poor, and left auch an endur ing monument of his unselfish Chris tian manhood in the origin and or ganization of the Associated Charities of Wilmington. ttespectiuiiy, Calvin S.

Principally routine matters engaged the attention of the Board of Audit and Finance at its regular semi month ly meeting last nigM, at the City Hall. Chairman -McQueen presided and members in attendance were Messrs. C. W. fates, Jesse Wilder and W. A. Riach. tfius tor current expenses were audited and" approved, andtlie usual reports made and ordered on file.

Action was deferred in the matter of concurring in the extra appropria tion for the removal of certain houses on Fifth between Dock and Orange streets. The board wished more infor mation ascto the condition the street would be Jeft in; any possible extra cost, etc. The matter of allowing the rebates, amounting to about $4,000, received from citizens in payment of pro rata assessments for the improvement of streets bounding their property and for sand furnished certain individuals, was reconsidered, and this amount was al lowed to revert to the appropriation for streets and wharves, from whence it came. This;tion wasaken in view of a later estimate of the City Clerk and Treasurer of the revenue to be de rived by the city for the balance of the fiscal vear. The Clerk and Trea surer now estimates that he will col lect $8,000 or $10,000 'more than he thought when his former statement was submitted. Payetteville's Smallpox.

The Craig Resolution to Impeach Chief Justice Furches and Justice Douglas. CONSIDERED IN COMMITTEE. No Conclusion Reached Further Con sideration Deferred Until Thursday Night The Election Law A Spirted Discussion. Special Star Correspondence. Raleigh, N.. CL, Fbruay. s. It was It. SO o'clock last night when the Judiciary Committee of the House having under consideration the Craig resolution to impeach Judges Furches and Douglas, adjourned their execu tive session, and then it was to meet again at 3 o'clock to resume the con sideration of the report of the sub committee. The discussion in - the executive ses sion last night was a lively one, the voices of the speakers frequently pene trating the massive walls of the State library, where the executive session was held. lx Judge Connor urged upon the committee that only a severe rebuke should be administered to the two judges. -Among those who argued for impeachment proceedings were Craig. Graham and Spainhour. The report of the sub committee consists of nine typewritten pages of legal cap. and in reciting the facts in the case as developed by their investigation, gives conclusions in law which are very favorable to impeachment The most significant sentence in the report is as follows: 'The manner in which this order was issued indicates to our minds that the judges who directed it to issue did not think that they had the power to issue the same, and that they were undertaking to shift the responsibility from themselves to the clerk of the 8upreme Court Many are of the opinion that the forthcoming report of the committee to the House will be unfavorable to impeachment and recommend a severe rebuke to the two judges as urged by Judge Connor. If this is not the case there is a strong probability that there will be majority and minority reports. Special Star Telegram.' The second executive session of the House Judiciary Committee to con sider the sub-committee's report on the Craig resolution to impeach Justices Furches and Douglas of the Supreme Court was held this afternoon. An adjournment was taken, however, after three hours session to Thursday night, without reaching an agreement. To quote a prominent committeeman, the committee decided tlQ matter was of grave importance, iot to be entered upon without much deliberation and thorough discussion. " Petitions to change EiecHoa Laws. Petitions to change the election laws precipitated a spirited discussion to-day inthe House. Mr. Zachary, apeaking to a question of personal privilege, charged that a great majority of the petitions to change the election laws, presentedire -prepared by a coterie of enemies, with Richmond Pearson the chief, for base political capital. Other Democrats charged that the names on many petitions being presented by Republican members are forged. The charges elicited a storm of indignation from Republican mem bers. Mr. , Craig's substitute for Mr. Gaither's bill, repealing all divorce laws since '87, came up as the special order and shut off the strong debate on the election law petitions. The change was "the devil for a witch," as an other long discussion followed. The speeches by Connor and Stewart re sulted in the adoption of a motion by Craig that the bill be the special order Thursday, at eleven o'clock. Bills passed final reading: To se cure passage of fish in the Cape Fear and Northeast rivers; for relief of Hhe clerk of the Superior Court of Robeson county. Bills introduced: By Rountree, to incorporate the Duplin and Onslow Kaflroad Company; to protect owners of timbers. By Shannonhouse, to im prove roads in Charlotte township.
