Heide& Co., for Stettin, Germany, with a cargo of rosin consigned by the S. P. Shatter Company. The British schooner Helen Shafner was cleared with lumber for Marcoris, San Do mingo.

SEVERE SNOW STORM Greatest Fall in Wilmington Yes terday Since February Five Years Ago. HOLIDAY FOR MANY PEOPLE. Weather Bureau Shows a Record of Nine Inches Traffic Was Not Seriously Interfered With and No Acci dents of Consequence. A majority of Wilmington's inhabi tants awoke yesterday morning in the midst of the severest snow storm the city has experienced since February 17ih, 1896, the nearest approach to it in the interim having been the storm of February, two years, ago, which people of the younger generation re called with interest in speaking of the weather yesterday. The first flakes of what is commonly known as "hominy" snow began to fall at three minutes to four o'clock yesterday morning and this species of the Artie visitor kept up intermittently until about 6 30 o'clock, when the downfall opened up in dead earnest and continued almost unceasingly until about 6 o'clock yesterday after noon, after which it wound up about as it commenced and the mercury in thermometers began to incline to wards zero at an unpleasant rate, which is attested by the condition, far from comfortable this morning. The official record of the depth of the snow taken by Observer Felger at the Weather Bureau at 8 o'clock last night is 9 inches, though many contend that in sections of the city it was as much as a foot The temperature during the day, however, was not so un pleasant and the only seriously objectionable feature- of the storm was the blinding snow flakes and perchance a solidly compacted snow ball thrown by some exuberant youth or jovially inclined elder person. The minimum temperature was 26 de grees and was reached at 8 o'clock last night. Once in December this Winter the mercury has been down as low as 23 degrees. Early last night the snow began 'to thaw in some places and to freeza over which made it disagreeable to pedestrians and hazardous to life and limb, but though many sharp contracts with pavements were reported as incidents of the day, there were few, if any accidents. Mr. Eugene Smith, one of the clever travelling representatives of Corbett & Co., while walking by the grocery store of Capt. J. B. Huggins yester day morning lost his foothold and in clutching for some object by which to steady himself, thrust his hand through one of the panes of the win dow glass of the store butj a glove protected him from .injury. Railroad traffic was not interfered with and trains came in as usual, a few short delays having been on ac count of connections from the North. Street car traffic, while exceeding dif ficult was kept up remarkably well and an indulgent public has "no kick coming." Mr. Nicholas Schenck in talking with a reporter yesterday of notable snow storms in the past spoke interest ing of the phenomenal snow storms of April 15, 1849. He said there must have been a fall of 12 or 15 inches; fruit was killed and all vegetation was cut off. Roses were in bloom at the time and a severe freeze followed, peaches on the trees were the size of a walnnt and the people regarded it nothing less than a public calamity. The whole face of the earth from New Orleans to Maine was covered with snow and business was suspended. Another severe storm came in Jan. 1857 and a severe cold snap, which froze everything. Mr. Schneck says that during this period he saw more than 300 skaters and spectators on Eden's (aow Greenfield) pond. The skating continued for several days and the sleigh bells were heard upon every hand. The worst snow storm in more re cent years according to the Weather Bureau records extending back as far as 1885 was in Feb. '96 when a fall of 12.1 inches was recorded. Through the kindness of Mr. Arthur D. Kins man, the clever Assistant Observer, at the Bureau, the Stab is able to furnish the following additional records of snowfall: Feb. 1889, 3 5 inches; March 1889, .03 inches; Dec. 1892, .2; Dec. 1894, 1.5 inches; Feb. 1899, .5; Jan. 1899, .2; Jan, 1900, .1. About the Pilotage Matter. A Stab representative was shown yesterday afternoon a very strongly signed petition circulated by thejCape Fear Pilots' Association against the proposed abolition by the Legislature of the compulsory features of the bill now governing the practice at Wilm ington.

Alexander Sjjrunt & Son, Acme Tea Chest Company and others. The Rev. Edxar Carpenter. Norfolk Landmark: "The Rev. Edgar Carpenter, having .deslined calls .from St Paul's Church, Wil mington, N.

WILMINGTON BURGLAR ARRESTED IN NORFOLK. Mysterious Robberies Solved by Negro's Arrest Yesterday Capt. Green and Mr. Honnett Identify Him. Special Star Telegram. Norfolk. Va., Feb. 23. The arrest by Norfolk detectives of George Nash alias Julius Cuiley, a negro, turns out to be the most important capture of the season. Nash, it appears, is a most notorious thief with a penchant for je velry, and that he operated success fully at Wilmington, is shown by the recovery of a small stock found on the negro's person. Nash had not long been in Norfolk when he was ar rested as a suspicious character. When searched at police headquarters he bad concealed in various pockets thirty watches, besides numerous gold cuff buttons, lockets and other jewelry. The local police communicated with various cities and learned that the stolen property belonged to Mr. Geo. Honnet, a jeweler, of No. 12 North Front street, Wilmington, whose es tablishment was recently burglarized. Mr. Honnet arrived here to-day accompanied by Capt Robert Green, of the Wilmington detective depart ment Mr. Honnet identified the property found on the negro as his and also recognized in Nash the man who had acted suspiciously around his store before the robbery was com mitted. y-X Capt. r Green toot charge of the prisoner' and to morrow with Mr. Honnet will leave for Wilmington where the negro will have a hearing in the police court. The Wilmington police say they have direct eyidence against Nash and his conviction seems to be a foregone conclusion. ELKS COMMENDABLE WORK. Through Their Exalted Ruler the Charity Characteristic of the Order is Being Appreciated by the Poor. With a commendable spirit of sincere charity, characteristic of the order everywhere, but which for lack of opportunity has not heretofore shown itself in. Wilmington upon so large a scale, perhaps as in other cities, the Wilmington Lodge of Elks early yes terday morning as soon as the flakes of snow began falling and it was seen that the city would fjpon be in the throes of a snow staorm, began a work which should receive merited praise from every source. The work of the Wilmington Lodge came through its energetic and withal sympathetic Exalted Ruler, Mr. H. J. Ger ken, and consisted of the raising of a charity fund from Elk members for the supply of fuel to indigent peo pie, who would otherwise suffer from the cold. The result of Mr. Gerken's canvass among members is that there is now already, purchased about 130 loads of splendid pine wood, which will be distributed to-day and as long as the bad weather exists, under the personal supervision of Elk members to a list of needy persons and families furnished by the Associated Charities and otherwise gathered by the benefi cent Elks, headed by Exalted Ruler Gerken. -In the absence of Mayor Waddell, Mayor pro tern. Springer and Alder men Taylor, chairman of the Streets and Wharves Committee, have done the right thing in placing at the dispo sal of the Elks as many of the city carts as will be required to deliver the wood anywhere in the city needed. ' it' is The United International Order of Buffaloes, Ranch No. 999, of this city. has also raised $6.60 in subscriptions of fifteen cents each. from its members and the amount has been turned over to the Elks for distribution. A LEGISLATIVE BLUNDER, Bill Passed Both Branches of the Assem bly Making North Carolina a Pro hibitioo: State. Special Star 2'elegram. Raleigh, N. C., Feb. 23. The dis covery was made to night that a bill has pissed both branches of the Gen' era Assembly making North Carolina a Prohibition State, except that liquors can be manufactured and sold in incor p3rated towns in Buncombe county. A mistake in phraseology makes the law apply tothe whole State, and grants the privilege to manufacture and sell only to towns in Buncombe. The discovery created a consternation among mem bers and is the most talked of feature of the day. It is not effective within thirty days, and immediate steps will be taken, to enact a bill correcting the law. The Mutual Pidelity Company. Messrs. George Harriss and Thos. H. Wright left last night for Rich mond in tbe interest of themselves and others in Wilmington who have in vested in the "diamond contracts," of the Mutual Fidelity Company, of Bal timore.
