Important Industry.
Less than a year ago a menhaden
fishery was established at Old Bruns
wick on the west side of the Cape Fear
river between Wilmington and South-
port by the Atlantic Fisheries Com
pany. Its first year's business has been
phenomenally successful and the
building of the first factory bids fair to
open a new and important Industry of
mammoth proportions in these waters.
As readers of the Stab are aware the
menhaden fish or "fat backs" as they
are ordinarily termed, are used solely
for commercial purposes, the oil being
extracted from them and" the scraps
sold for fertilizer manufacture to the
guano factories North and South.
Through the influence of Capt. J no.
W. Harper and others of the Atlantic
Fisheries Company, now located here,
the attention of capitalists in the North
has been attracted to the unlimited
supply of fish in these waters and it
may now be announced with author
ity that another and much larger fac
tory will be located in less than 60
days on the Cape Fear.
Capt Thos. F. Price, Messrs. O. T.
WildenandN. B. Church, of "The
Fisheries Company," of New York,
arrived in the city 8unday and soon
after their arrival promptly decided
to establish a large factory here. The
new factory will be located on Howe's
Point, near the site of the present fac
tory, and will be more than double the
capacity of the old plant
"The Fisheries Company" has a
capital of a million dollars and already
has in operation S3 factories along the
coast from Maine to Texas, one of the
largest being at Lewes, Del., from
from which point several of the Wil
mington fertilizer factories now re
ceive fish scrap. .
Capt. Price and Messrs. Wilden and
Church yesterday went down the
river on the steamer Wilmington and
concluded the purchase of the factory
site from Capt Harper. They were
accompanied by Capt J. J. Milligan,
of the Atlantic Fisheries, who 'showed
them every courtesy possible.
Work on the new factory will be
gin at once. Two or three steamers
will be brought down as soon as prac
ticable and everything placed in read
iness for the coming season.
ELK CARNIVAL NEWS.
Advertisinf Committee Has Its Hands Fall.

for as many agents on the different rail
roads entering the city. These will be

The Atlantic Coast Line has kindly
agreed to put on two extra trains on the
Newborn road during Wednesday and
Thursday of the fair and a great crowd
is expected from that section. The
trains will reach the city about 9 A.

operate three extra' trains on three
days of fair week. The schedules will
be as convenient as is possible to make
them for prospective visitors.

meet the Central Executive Commit
tee at 8 o'clock to-night for the pur
pose of reporting officially the prog
ress in their several departments. A
full attendance is desired.
The military feature of the fair is ex
pected to culminate in one of the most
successful of the many on tapis. Every
company in the State Guard has been
invited to come with full ranks and
many are expected to consider favor
ably the invitation. Every Elk lodge
in North and South Carolina has also
been invited and, of course, a majority
of them will be here' with full repre

KILLED A FINE MULE.
Unknown Person Entered Mr. 0. T. Shep
ard" a Stable nnd Hacked a Good
Animal to Destn.
One of the most inhuman and das
tardly acts ever recorded in the county,
perhaps, was perpetrated at Mr. Geo.
T. Shepard's place on Middle Sound
between midnight and day Sunday
morning. Some fiend in human form
entered the stables between the hours
indicated and deliberately killed a fine
mule belonging to Mr. Shepard by
knocking the animal in the head with
an axe or hatchet until it was dead.
Mr. Shepard's driver, who had been
to the city Saturday with a load of
produce, returned about 11 o'clock at
night and the mule, in the very best
of condition, was turned into her
stable as usual and fed. She com
menced eating heartily and Mr. Shep
ard retired for the night. Upon going
to the stable at 6 o'clock Sunday
morning he was dumbfounded to find
the mule dead and perfectly stiff.
There was no sign of sickness or wal
lowing on the ground as mules
usually do when sick. An ugly gash
about three or four inches long and
one and a half inches deep was found
in the animal's forehead and another
of like character on the side of the jaw.
Mr. Shepard is naturally at a loss to
account for the motive that prompted
such a deed.

Death of Aged Citizen.
' Mr. Abner Quinn, a well known and

North Seventh street, at 9 o'clock Sun

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.
Wilmington, N. O., September 28th, 1901.
To the Citizens of Wilmington and the County of New Hanover:
The Board of Managers of the James Walker Memorial Hospital beg to an
nounce that the new Hospital, which was donated to the city and county by
the late James Walker, has been completed and delivered to the Board of
Manaeers.
Ample provision has been made by the city and county authorities for the
support and maintenance of the Hospital. Before its usefulness can be real
ized, it must be furnished and equipped ; and this duty is amoncr the first that has
devolved upon the Board of Managers in assuming charge of the property. A
careful estimate has been made and it is ascertained that it will require at least
six thousand dollars to properly furnish and equip the Hospital. An appeal is
now made to the citizens of the city and county to supply this amount. It
having been suggested that many private citizens would desire to make con
tributions towards this purpose, the Board has decided to open subscription
lists in order that an opportunity may be afforded to those who desire to do so,
to contribute. - These subscription lists are in the hands of Dr. O. P. Bolles, the
Secretary of the Board, at the office of Messrs. Hugh MacRae & Co., Bankers,
and it is hoped that liberal contributions will be promptly made. It has been
decided that, in order to have the Hospital uniformly and properly equipped,
the same must be done under the supervision of the Board of Managers, and
that, on this account, the contributions must be in cash.
W. Q. ELLIOTT. President of the Board.
C. P. BOLLES, Secretary. sep 29 14t
