Remains Will Not Arrive Until This Even. iff for Funeral To-morrow Univer sally Esteemed by the People ' of His Adopted Home. The remains of the late James 8. Daggett, the story of whose tragic death at Bluefield, W. Va., was re ated in these columns yesterday, will reach the city this evening on the A. C. L. train from' the north accom panied by his brother, Mr. W. W. Daggett, of Pulaska City, W.-Va. It ; was expected thaf the remains wouid reachiiere this -mining- but a telegram! wai received last night from Mr. W. W. Daggett statin ir that he had been left at Petersburg and could not reach here until the time indicated above. The funeral will be held to morrow at an hour to be-definitely settled upon later. Sorrow among the former associates and friecds of young Mr. Daggett and sympathy for the sorely bereaved amiiy was general yesterday and all spoke of the shocking tragedy only in the most regretful terms. The following special telegram delayed in transmission on the night previous, was received by the 8tar yesterday morning and gives addi tional particulars of the accident which ended the life of the unfortu nate young mn: Bluefield. W. Va , April 8, 1901. Electric light and telephone wires became crossed here to night. James 8. Daggett, and employe of the Blue field Telephone Company, climbed upon the pole to cut the 'phone wires and stood with his foot on a re turning wire. When he touched the live wire with his plyers the entire cur rent of 2 200 volts passed through his body. In falling backward his feet became entangled in the wires and he hung for several minutes suspended in mid-air. He was stone dead when cut down. The remains will probably be shipped to Wilmington to morrow. Still another special from Bluefield is as follows: Bluefield, W. Va,, April 8. James H. Daggett, a young man in the employ of the Bluefield Telephone Company was electrocuted to-night while engaged in cutting a telephone wire, which had become crossed with the main feed wire of the arc lights. The accident occurred at the corner of Merct r street and Bluefield avenue, and was witnessed by a throng of horrified spectators. The instant the young man began to climb the pole he became the cynosure of the gaze of hundreds of people who watched him prosecute his work. After climbing through a mass of wires. he stood upon what is known as the return wire, and reached the telephone wire which was caus- og the trouble. The moment his plyers touched the latter he was seen to waver and fall-backwards. In some way his feet became entangled, and he remained suspended head down wards until a ladder was procured and the body cut down. Two thousand volts passed through his body. Mr. Daggett was about 21 years old, and had been in this city only about three months, having come here from Rad ford, where he had been employed by the Virginia and Tennessee Telephone Company. His home was in Wil mington, N. C, and he had only this morning returned from that place, where he had been to attend the funeral of a sister. The young man came here highly recommended and made hosts of friends among those with whom he came in contact. PERFECTED ITS 0K0ANIZAT10N.

Controversy Between Messrs. Sorter and-l Steroberger As iff Dividing Line Opens in Municipal Court. The police station had a little wave of excitement lait night about 11 o'clock! when Mr. L Shrier, the well known clothing dealer, rushed into the hall' and excitedly demanded that officers be sent at once to bis property on Front street near the Elks' temple, where parties were excavating in detriment to the dividing wall between his store and that of Sternberger Bros. Chief Furlong sent a hurry squad down to the building, closely followed by Mr. Shrier, and found at the rear of the store Contractor R. H. Brady and a force of negro laborers digging away at the wall of the Sternberger build ing. ' . jjUpon Mr, Bhrier's request, Mr. orady, Mr. 'Julius Sternberger and on of th colored' laborers wertnre cognized to appear in the police court this morning to answer the charge of injury to personal property.

Mr. 8hrier, it is said, had given Mr. Sterberger notice to remove that por tion of his wall which is on the land claimed by him and Mr. Sternberger last night jut a force of workmen, he ssid, to comply with the request. Mr. Shrier got news of the. affair in some way and immediately invoked the aid of the oolice. Mr. Sternberger at once instructed the men to cease work at Mr. Shrier's objection and the cases will be heard in the municioal court to'day. Mr. Sternberger was present at his store with his counsel A. J. Marshall, Esq., when the work was summarily stop: ped and will appear for the defend ants. Mr. Shrier is represented by Junius Davis, Esq , and Herbert Mc Clammy, Esq. MISPLACED CONFIDENCE. Young Woman Came From South Carolina la Search of Her Husband. A sad case of a deserted young wife was brought to the attention or tne police Monday by the young woman herself, who came to Wilmington in search of her husband, but all efforts to locate him ifjived futile and she was given a ticket and sent back to her home in South Carolina. The woman gave her name as Mrs. Eugene Herring and said she was from Union, 8. C. Her husband left her a few days ago in search of em ployment and came to Wilmington. He wrote her last Wednesday and said he had secured a position in a cotton mill here and told her to come at onea. She flirt awwiwl aJbaai fruit- less search for him appealed to the police to assist in finding her hus band. They inquired at both cotton mills and found that no such man as Herring had been employed or even seen by them. The poor woman was soreiy grieved and despondent and her money had given out, so Chief Furlong bought a ticket and sent her back to Union. She said she had been married not quite a year. Q0LF CLUB OFFICERS. Elected at the Annual Meeting Held -Last Night at The Orton.

Unanimously Rejected and Plans Devised for Maintenance of Body In Future. Reports of Officers nnd Election for Ensuing Fiscal Year. As everybody hoped and expected there will be no discontinuance of the Produce Exchange organization. The fact that the question of disor ganization would be proposed was suf ficient to cause a very large attendance upon the twenty-eighth annual meet ing of the body held yesterday morn ing at ,11, o'clock in the-Sachatrge- building on Water street Twenty- seven members were present and of the absent contingent one or more were out of the city. . The meeting was presided over by Mr. W. B. Cooper, the president and the first routine item of business was the submission and adoption of the annual report of Col. John L. Cant well, the thoroughly efficient secre tary and treasurer of the body. The report was duly approved by Mr. P. Pearsall for the Finance committee and shows receipts for the fiscal year ending April 1st amounting to $1,703. 47 with expenditures of $1,701.05. which leaves a balance of $2.42. Other resources were shown to be a balance on deposit with the Wilmington 8avingsand Trust Company of $334.87 against which there is an outstanding indebtedness of $143.75 for rent secretary' salary, telegrams and monthly bills. The membership is shown to be only 27, against 31 at the beginning of the last fiscal year. ; The item in the report showing a decrease of four in membership, no corresponding decrease in expenses and no balance to the credit of the Exchange exhibited clearly the reason for the question of discontinuance, and a general and very thorough dis cussion ot the status-oi financial ax- fairs was indulged in by Mr. J. W. Norwood, Mr. W. B. Cooper, Mr. B. F. Hall, Mr. H. G. Stnall bones, Mr. W. H. Sprunt Mr. P.IPearsall, CoL Walker Taylor, Mr. H. M. Emerson, Mr. Wm. Calder, Mr. C. H. Robin son, Col. W. L. DeRosset and others. It was clearly seen that an increase in membership to at least thirty-four at present expenses must be had; the proportion of increase should be larger in order to secure a reduction in fees, or that the existing members should consent to an increase of dues. The matter was thoroughly discussed, and a motion by Mr. B. F. Hall pre vailed, which carried with it the ap pointment of the following committee r rtbe puipaeeof ilmiiiiur ways ami means- for. the maintenance of ' the organization: Mr. Wm. Calder, Mr. H-M. Emerson, Col. Walker Taylor and Mr. H. G. Smallbones. Is was clearly seen from the deter mination manifested by those present yesterday that the Exchange will not discontinue but will be re-organized upon a sounder and more equitable basis than ever before. Mr. W. B. Cooper who has labored unceasingly for the welfare of the Exchange and who for a combination of reasons declined a re-election, read his annual report as follows: .Wilmington, N. C, April 9. To Members Produce Exchange: Gentlemen As president of your Exchange for the past year we beg to submit our report as follows: Our city was never in a more prosperous condi tion. The different lints represented here are doing well indeed. Everybody is making money, or at least he tells his neighbor so. This is especially true, we think, in the different lines represented in our Exchange, we are glad to say. We have twenty five feet of water on the bar and good pros pects of mooring dolphins in ous har bor. All of the organizations for the good of our city are prospering except ours, we are sorry to say. Your presi dent and Board of Managers have done their best to get our Exchange in the same shape as the other organizations, but so far, sorry to say, we have hot been able to do so. We would like very much indeed to make some rec ommendation, but do not know what to offer unless it be that we increase dues. If a good part of the members are willing to pay dues of $75.00 per annum until we can tide over this difficulty, we would move along all O. K. We have only twenty-seven members at present which gives us $1,350 00 receipts. Our expenses should be about $2,000 but we could move along on $1,800 fairly well and give fairly full quotations on the dif ferent lines. Our expenses have been a little less this year for the reason that we have not been able to secure. Chicago quotations since the trouble between ,the Chicago Exchange and the Telegraph Company. This trou ble has just been settled and we are hoping every day to get the Chicago quotations. We have received New York quotations on grain which will be discontinued as soon as we get Chicago. We have in the city twenty five listed wholesale grocers, nine of whom think the Exchange of suf ficient ' importance to belong to-it Four western packers are represent ed here, two of whom are members of our exchange, two grain houses, one of which is a member; five mer chandise brokers, one a member; five insurance agencies, one a . member ; two home- insurance companies, neither of which is a member. All of the railroads and steamship lines are members; two telephone exchanges, both of which we take and neither , of which is a member: two cotton ex porters, both of which are members; three naval store exporters, two .of which are. members: several lumber, mills, one of which is a member; the ; fertilizer people are t members Dunn & Co., have an office here, and . most of us are subscribers jnnd they have been asked to join us but no reply has been received. ' - v , We mention these facta just to show now the matter stands. We wish to BhankThe Worth Company forquota: ions recetvett worn a ynicago pro 1901. vision house, which they were kind enough to let us have and also helped us to pay for the quotations. We also wish to thank The D. L Gore Co.. McNair & Pearsall, Hall & Pearsall and D. McEachern for helping ua to pay for these 'quotations for a good while. We beg to say that a more efficient secretary for the Exchanoe could not be had. He has ever been ready to carry out instructions. In fact has asked time after time if any orders. Every detail has been carefully looked after. Respectfully submitted, W. B. Cooper. Annual Electioa of Officers. The annual election of officers was in progress from 11 A. M. to 1 P. M., and the foljowing selections were announced by Messrs. Jno. Frank, C. H. King and H. K. Nash, inspec tors Of the election: President P. Pearsall Vice President J.H.Chad bourn, Jr. Board of Managers Walker Tay lor, H W. Malloy, D McEachern L. Rgersr fjrf J." Boney." ' All the selections are regarded as being from the"m-ost active workers in the organization and as being ex ceedingly timely. SHEPARD DAMAGE SUITS. Compromises Yesterday Entered Upon Docket of the Superior Court Clerk. Terms of Ssme Are Unknown. The extended litigation in the two important damage suits of -$25,000 each against the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company brought by Mr. Jos. C. Shepard, Jr., and wife, of this city, are at an end, a compromise in the same having been effected. Just what the terms of the compro mise are, and whether favorable to the defendant or plaintiff, attorneys on both sides of the cases, who were instrumental in bringing about a set tlement refuse to discuss. The only public knowledge is two entries that were made yesterday at the office of Col. Jno. D. Taylor.-clerk. of the Superior Court In the case of Mr. Jos. C. Shepard, Jr., who ob tained a verdict for $9,584 at the last term of the court, is this entry : "Re ceived payment in full satisfaction of this judgment except the costs, which are yet to be paid by the defendant Bellamy & Bellamy, attorneys for the plaintiff." In the other case of Mrs. Winifred B. Shepard which was set for trial at the term of the court beginning next week is this entry upon the clerk's docket: "A retraxit is hereby enter ed, this the 9th day of April,. 1901." A retraxit means,f course, a with -drawal of the suit but the question of amount, if any, thedefendant recovers is not given. The amount in the other case is given because a judg ment jn court has already been ren dered. There were various rumors yesterday as to the amount of recov ery by - Mrs. Shepard, but none of tfohe "of thenr were authentic; as at torneys for both sides refused to dis cuss the matter Qeyond the fact that they were well satisfied with the terms of the settlement. Readers of this paper are perfectly familiar with the circumstances of the cases. Mr. and Mrs. Shepard sued for damages on account of an accident which befel them at a road crossing in the outskirts of the city while out driving Jan. 12th, 1900. CHIEF JUSTICE FURCHES.

KILLING OF YOUNG BREECE. Coroner's Jury Geld honest Yesterday ant Morning Hardison Not Yet Appre hended Burisl of Remains. A coroner's jury of inquest, com posed of Messrs. W. A. McGowan (foreman), John Sheehan (secretary), C. T. Smaw, S. H. Terry, E. W, Hew lett and Capt John W. Plummer, yesterday morning investigated the killing on Monday night of young Mannie Breece by L. A. Hardison, particulars of which have already been given in these columns. The jury met at 11 o'clock at Front and Wright streets, and after a view of the body and the hearing of several witnesses, rendered a verdict that de ceased came to his death on account of wounds received from a pistol in the hands of L. A. Hardison. The witnesses were Mr. B. M. Wil son, a synopsis of whose testimony was given in the Stab yesterday; M. M. Moore, a clerk in Mr. Wilson's store, in front of which the shooting occurred; Mr. M C. Gray, in whose store young Breece died, and Mr. H. M. Owens, who works in the factory and was an eye-wmress to the shooting. The jury was brief in making up its verdict and did not undertake to say whether or not the killing was in self-defence, as was very generally expressed on the streets yesterday. An examination of the body disclosed that the bullet wound : waar from a 38-calibre pistol and the discharge of blood was on the inside. The remains were taken on the W. & N. train yesterday afternoon to Folkstone, Onslow county, for inter ment Hardison has not yet been appre hended by the police. Base Ball Notes.
