An Enthusiastic Annual Meeting at the
Court floase Last Night at Which
Officers Were Elected.
The annual meeting of the Carolina
Yacht Club, one of the most popular
of the seaside organizations at Wrights
ville Beach, was held last night in the
county court room, the session having
been marked an by unusually large

the .Governing Board for their satis
factory management during the season
of 1900, which is attested by the elegant
club house which now stands upon the

a proposition to amend the racing rules
of the club, but decided actipn was de
ferred untiQa future meeting.
STROKE OP FACIAL PARALYSIS.
Pastor of Fifth Street M. E. Charch
Af-
fected by Slight Attsck.
friends of the Rev. John H. Hall,
pastor of Fifth Street M. E. Church,
were much pained at an announce
ment made by him to his congregation
just before entering upon his discourse
at tho regular service Sunday morn
ing. The intelligence which was re
ceived with so much regret by his hear
ers was to the effect that during the
week preceding he had suffered a
stroke of facial paralysis on the left
side. One entire cheek is perceptibly
affected but his power ot speech is
only slightly impede!. by the disease
and friends hope, and cherish the be
lief that it will prove no more serious
than now, when physicians say that
there is much probability of an entire
recovery. Otherwise? the Rev. Mr.
Hall is in good health and does not
suffer inconvenience from the afflic
tion. Sunday night Rev. Mr. Abbott, a
Northern minister who is visiting in
the city, preached to Mr. Hall's con
gregation in his stead.
FOR SUNDAY LIQUOR SELUNQ.
Princess Street Saloon Keeper Found Not
Qnilty of the Charge.
- A case of Sunday liquor selling
against E. J. Pollard, formerly pro
prietor of the saloon at corner of
Second and Princess streets, and in
Iwhich case several prominent young
white men of the city were summoned
as witnesses, was heard by Mayor
Waddell in tba municipal court at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
warrant was sworn out by Policeman
H. H. Woebse on information and be
lief and the offence was alleged to
have been committed on Sunday, Dec.
33rd.
It developed from the evidence
that drinks were served only
with meals at the restaurant
conducted in connection with the
bar and that no eharge for the drinks
was made. Mr. Pollard, who was de
fended by Messrs. Herbert McClammy
and Brooke G. Empie, was dis
charged. The case was prosecuted by
City Attorney Meares.

Cole and Johnson, who will appear
in a "Trip to Coontown" to-morrow

THE BASE BALL TALK.
A League Team for Wilmington Is Forth
coming If Leader Can Be Obtained
ia Promlslsg Movement.
- The balmy Spring weather of the
past two or three days coupled with
the publication on Sunday of the in
viting letter of Secretary E. J. Doran,
of the Virginia -North' Carolina Base
ball League,' was especially conducive
yesterday ' to a revival of the prop
osition falteringly entertained all the.
while by local enthusiasts that it
would be quite the thing for Wilming
ton to move up a peg or two and en
joy some of the . national sport this
Summer as member of the only or
ganisation of teams that will put up a
professional article in th'is section: this
season.
The only mo remftnt, that has, had 1
any semblance of tangible result since
the Virginia Carolina League - was
first talked of in the Winter, almost
reached a culmination yesterday and
there was only one thing lacking
that was some one to take the initia
tive in the matter and hold the sub
scriptiOn book to a stock company
while an eager baseball public with
a relish for the "hot stuff," awaited to
sign up for all the- shares necessary to
a first classs team. Perhaps the
missing link will be supplied to-day
in time to have the Norfolk vauthori
ties hold a, place for Wilmington at
the meeting inJhat city to morrow
evening. U there arises a Moses to
lead the "cranks," he will have to
start on his purchase of a team about
$400 iu voluntary subscriptions made
yesterday without the shadow of a
canvass and from not a tenth of the
people who will contribute a good
round sum to the support of a league
team, to say nothing of those who
will take shares of from $5 to $10 in
an enterprise properly backed.
PASTOR WILL COME FRIDAY.
Rev. Dr. Wells Expected This Week-Rev.
Mr. Paxton Leaves for Selms, Ala.
The Rev. J. M. Wells, Ph. D., the
new pastor of the First Presbyterian
Churcb, this city, is expected to arrive
in Wilmington with his family from
Mississippi on next Friday afternoon
and to at once "take up hi3 pastoral
duties with the congregation here.
Mr. Wells and family for a time will
reside at The Orton as the Presbyterian
manse is now rented and will likely
remain so for a few months.
The Rev. J. W. Paxton, who has so
acceptably served as stated supply for
the congregation of the First Church
for the past several months, expects to
leave Wilmington on Thursday week
for Selma, Alabama, where he will
supply the pulpit of the First Presby
terian church there, pending the call
to a regular pastor by that congrega
tion. He expects to resume his mis
sionary work in China during the
Fait if the conditions there become
favorable. Rev. Mr. Paxton has
made numerous and staunch friends
during his residency in the city and it
will be with a feeling of regret that
the public in general and congrega
tion in particular will give him.up.
He has impressed all by his earnest
wOrk and ability as a minister of the
gospel.
ADDITIONAL RAILROAD TAX.
City and County's Share Resulting from
Termination of Corporation Litigation.
A statement of . the amount of
additional - valuation of railroad
property upon, which the city and
county may collect taxes as a result of
a termination of the Corporation
Commission litigation has been re
ceived by Clerk and Treasurer King
and Chairman McEachern, of the
New Hanover Board of Commission
ers. The additional valuation for the
county on all the railroads is approxi
mately $110,346 for the year 1899 and
$896,614 for the year 1900. That for
the city of Wilmington as distributed
among the several lines for the two
years, is as follows: .
" 1899. 1900.
C. O. R. R. OO S S 846 01
W. N. R. R. OO 2.118 78

t Total $17,18X86 S15.150.8S
If the valuation for the ctyy is upon
real estate, and it is presumed that it
is, at the rate of 1.75 per cent, the
amount of extra tax that will be re
ceived in $300.79 for the year1899 and
$365.13 for the year 1900, making a
total of $565.93.
ATTEMPTED BURGLARY, THIS TIME.
Store of Flshblate Clothing Co. Narrowly
Escaped Being Robbed Sunday Night.
Evidence continues to accumulate
supporting the well confirmed theory
that there ia an organized band of
burglars at work in the city.
Sunday night between 8 and 9
o'clock a policeman discovered that
an attempt had been made to get into
the store - of the Fishblate Clothing
Company in the Masonic Temple.
One of the iron fire proof shutters to
a window opening upon the basement
in the rear had been prized open but
fortunately the attempt to rob the
tore was discovered by the officer be
fore an entrance could be effected.
The would-be burglar was evidently
frightened away by the approach of
the policeman before further progress
was made.' : .

TWO DEATHS SDNDAY
Members of Well Known Wil
mington Families Called to
i a World Beyond.
THE FUNERALS YESTERDAY.
Mr. Thomas Morrison and Dr. Aacrnm
B. Burr Passed Away at Their Re
spectlve Homes in Wilmington.
Both Confederate Veterans.
Death claimed as its victims- on
Sunday members of two well known
families prominent in Wilmington
for many years.
The deceased are Mr. Thomas Mor
rison, Who dud at his home, corner
of Fifth -nd -Princess streets, at five
minutes, before 10 o'clock on Sunday
morning after a ten days' illness with
pneumonia, with old age as a con
tributing cause, and Dr. Ancrum B.
Burr, oldest son of the late Col. Jas.
G. Burr, who died at 1.30 o'clock in
the afternoon at the residence of his
sister, Mrs. E. Everett, No. 210 North
8ixtb street, after a lingering illness
with consumption, which forced him
to return two months ago from his
adopted home in New York city to
the home of his birth in Wilmington.
Death of Mr. Morrison.
Mr. Morrison at the time of his
death was surrounded by all the
members of his immediate family,
consisting of one son and two daugh
ters, CapL J. C. Morrison and Miss
Nora Morrison and Mrs. S. P. Adams.
His wife, who was Miss Amanda Mc
Keithan, of Southport, preceded him
to the grave several years ago. A
brother, Capt. George Morrison, died
only a few days ago, and still another
brother, Mr. Robert Morrison, passed
away some five years ago.
Mr. Morrison was a native of Phila
delphia, was born December 25th,
1828, and was therefore in the 73rd
year of his age. In 1840 his father
moved to North Carolina and the
Morrison family has remained either
here or at Southport ever since. Pur
ine the civil war Mr. Morrison was
engaged at different times as captain
and engineer of one of the many boats
used in the blockade service of the
Confederacy with such telling effect
ii and about the harbor of Wilming
ton. His experience was marked by
daring deeds and continuous perilous
service. In late years his health had
not admitted Q more active employ
ment. Members of the bereaved
family have the sincerest -sympathy
of numerous friends.
The funeral was conducted yester
terday afternoon at 4 o'clock from the
late residence and the interment was
in Oakdale cemetery. The services
were by the Rev. Dr. James Carmich
neL The following were the pall
bearers: Honorary: Dr. W. W.
Harris and Mr. C. W. Yates; active,
Messrs. FH." Stedman, W. A. Dick,
J. H. Boatwright, J. C. Springer, J.
Mcl. Gregg and Capt. T. C. James.
Dr. Ancrum B. Burr.
Dr. Burr was a native of Wilming
ton but removed to New York soon af
ter the war and chose work in the army
engineer's office of the government
