The Pro- gramme DellghifBUy Rendered. Attendance Very Urge. Great are the people of Newbern. That is the verdict of each of the six hundred and more Woodmen of the World and their- friends, who visited the "City on .the Neuse" last Sunday upon the occasion of the nnvaiiino- the monument by Live Oak Camp No 6,W.O, W. of this city, in memory' Of theil lata flnvAAin t vrA Daniel. I Although the rain was falling in I torrent when the train left Wilminjr I ma at o'clock: in the moraine;, it re I quired , ten coaches to accommodatA I the crowd, which numbered fully 600 people from Wilmington. Upon the arrival of the train at Newbern the weather conditions had much improved and the day was an ideal one for the' ceremonies. Members of the Wood men of the World" were met at the station by . Elm wood Camp of Newbern, . and were taken to the several hotels in the city, where they were hospitably entertained with out cost. Members of the Odd Fellow lodges in Wilmington were accorded similar treatment by the local lodge, L O. O. P., and all , speak in highest terms of the treatment given, them. The Odd Fello ws hall in Newbern waaopen to all visiting brethren and cigars and light refreshments were served. Many of the visitors attended ser vices at the various churches in the morning and in the afternoon the beau tiful Cedar Grove cemetery was liter ally lined with people. The monument was made by Tucker Bros., of this! city, and is the largest and most handsome yet erected br the Wil mington Camp. It is of pearl gray marble and suitably inscribed. The exercises were begun with "On ward Christian Soldiers" (Yopp) by the full choir and this was followed by a prayer by Rev. H. C. Moore, the chaplain, and the usual lodge exer-s cises. The other portion of the pro gramme was as follows: "Great- God to Thee My Evening Song" (Shelly)-Soprano. Miss Orpia Koch ; tenor, Mr. B. 8. Guion; alto. Mrs. F. A. Muse; bass, A. 8. Holden. Poem, "Oh Why Should the Spirit of Mortal be Proud," Mr. N.F.Parker, reader. v Lodge exercises. "Saviour. When Night Involves the Skies" Soprano, Miss Orpia Koch ; ten of, Mr. B. 8.

Holden; accom panist, Mr. A. EL Yopp. The address by Mr. Carr was both eloquent and impressive. He paid a beautiful tribute to the order and the principles upon which it is founded. He was given marked attention, and closed with a touching reference to the life and character of Mr. Mc Daniel, who was so weir and favor ably known here. The train left Newbern at 6 o'clock in the evening and reached the city upon the return at about 9 o'clock. THE $50,000 BOND ISSUE Read This If Yon Are Interested In the Bond Issue Election.

The fire commission of the city, con sisting of the Mayor, Chief of Police and Chief of the Fire Department, are allowing no abatement of their pur pose to rid the city as early as possible of the number of buildings and tene ments in the city that are regarded as unsafe to proper fire protection. Buildings in several sections have been condemned and negotiations with owners are pending in many other in stances regarding removals or repairs. Notices are also being sent to pros pective builders advising them of the city ordinances relative to new build ings, and upon the whole it appears as if the city is upon the eve of a great reform in this particular. Among the buildings lately con demned, other than those mentioned in the Stab several days, ago, is the two -8 to ry frame dwelling on the northeast corner of Second and Church streets, belonging to Mr. N. Jacobi; the steamer IJurVa wharf building and office, belonging to the Cape Fear Transportation Company, and the two-story shed belonging to Hall & Pearsall on the river front, next south of Whiteman's wood yard, and the steamer Wilmington's wharf. ROANOKE RIVER RAGING. Floods Cause Delay of A. C. L. Train From North Caledonia Farm Flooded. Atlantic Coast Line passenger train No. 49 from the north.due to arrive here at 6 P. M., was about four hours late Sunday night on account of having to transfer passenajers at the bridge over Roanoke Tiver near Weldon, which was considered unsafe for a train to cross on account of the tearing away of two girders under the same by reason of the floods of water in all up country streams. .The trouble now has, however, been remedied and it is expected that there will be no further delay. Passengers who came in on the be lated train 8unday night, say that much of the Caledonia farm, belong ing to the State Penitentiary, has been flooded on account of the giving away of dykes built to keep the water off the lowlands. There are about 1,200 acres of cotton on the farm and it is said that much of this has been flooded. The expense of building the dykes will also figure extensively in an estima tion of the losses. i THE STRAWBERRY IS PASSING. End of Season Is Approaching and Prices Are Beginning to Droop. The day of the luscious strawberry for this season, at least; is about over, that stage having about approached when it is no longer profitable to ship them North. The markets are flooded, it is said, and the prices are now very lownot high enough In many in stances to pay much more than trans porta tion charges. Several commis inn houses have already advised no I UFthe- shipments and the decline of J the geason is evidenced -by the car 1 0f pickers that are returning each day. from up the Wilmington and Wei don railroad. ; '; ' This week will wind up the crop, which though short, has been fairly remunerative to the grower.

He made a few disfigurations of the percentage column as it appeared in Sunday's paper, perceived in truth that Wil mington had popped up to a little' higher plane over the "Red Birds," exchanged compliments of -the season with the boys, exultantly indited a few lines to the religious editor of the Neios and Observer and retired for the night. The victory for Wilmington means that she is safely at the top of column with a safe lead on Newport News, while Raleigh goes third in a descend- ing scale. But as Newport News has to face the strong team of Ports mouth twice more this week and as the Giants are pitted against Rich mond for two more games, the odds that we'll maintain our lead is decided ly favorable. With good weather this afternoon, however, there's no telling how the P. C. column will stand after the after noon games. The following special telegram was received last night by the Star: "Richmond, Va., May 27. Wil mington found Richmond this after-, noon in rather a broken up condition and the grounds in terrible shape. The game was played in a soft mud. It was featureless, save for the steady hitting of Wilmington and the poor work in 'general of the Richmond team. Stewart pitched ms usual good game and Bob Stafford knocked one over the fence for a home run 'just for fun.' There was a very poor attend ance."

Did it ever occur to the jubilant fanatic of to-day that if Wilmington had lost yesterday and Newport News had won, the latter would have been 'top of column and next to reading matter" editorial at thatt Newport News comes .next week for three games; then Norfolk for three and the Giants leave on the fol- owing week for Raleigh. Then the Bed Birds, including King Kelly, re urn with the Giants for the latter end of the week.

What would the rooters haye done to 'Buck" if such an occurrence would have featured a game on the Wilming ton lot.

DeRosset, which occurred at the family home, No! 113 South Second street, this city, at 9 :45 o'clock Sunday morning. Mrs. DeRosset had been in ill health for some time with an affection of the heart, but for the past several weeks she had rallied to some extent from her recent very severe attack and her friends were very hopeful of her ulti mate restoration to heth. The rally was, however, only temporary and she peacefully passed away into the great beyond at the hour named. Mrs. DeRosset was a daughter of the late James H. Low, of New Or- eans. She was born in the month of June, 1845, at Savannah, Ga., and was married to Capt. DeRosset, who sur vives her, on May 17, 1866. Since that time, she had resided in Wilmington and had drawn about her hundreds ofjfriends, who received with unfeigned sorrow the news of her sad demise on Sunday morning. She is survived besides the sorrowing husband by two sons and four daughters: Mr.- James L. DeRosset, who is prominently identified with the banking business of New Tork. Mr. Armand L. De Rosset, Jr., of Atlanta; Mrs. J. W. Harris, of Carters ville, Ga., and Misses Louise, Tallulah and Madelaide De Rosset, of this city. She is also sur vived by an only sister, Mrs. Bessie L. Kidder, of New Orleans, and three brothers, Mr. Edwin H. Low, of New Tork, Mr. Clarence S. Low, of New Orleans and Mr. Jas. H. Low, of Cincinnati. Mrs. DeRosset was a woman of the highest Christian character and a de voted member of St. James' Episcopal church. Her disposition was lovable and kind and her admirable traits were very many. None knew her but to love her and the recollection of many a charitable deed, "a kind word, or thoughtful act will linger in the memories of those who knew her best. Judge and Mrs. J. W. Harris, of Cartersville, Ga., and Mr. A. L. De Rosset, Jr., arrived yesterday via the S. ArL. and Mr. James L. DeRosset at six o'clock last evening via the A. C. L.

Harriss, the well known nroduce merchant at Front street market house, has announced his pur nose to enter suit against the city of Wilmington for $5,000 damages. He states that he will allege in his complaint that he obtained license to sell produce from his store and that he was arrested by a policeman for a re f ttsal to move a cart from in front of his nlace. He was carried before the r Mayor and dismissed, hence the rait for false arrest and injury to his business. The Floods Are General. ' .Mr. R. R. Stone, who got home Sun. day from Memphis, says the floods by rain appear to be general from here to Chattanooga, Tenn., The whole face of the earth, he says, is covered by water and the ' damage to cotton and other crops is appalling. The farmers are very much discouraged and are necessarily badly 'lin the grass." Mr. Stone is a very observant man when it comes to growing crops and his opinion that there has been much damage car ries with it much weight Death ef Mr Theodore Sessoms.
