Wealthy Northern Corporation Establish Another Menha den Plant on Cape Fear. SITE PURCHASED YESTERDAY. Location Will be Near Old Braatwkk and Capacity Will be Larte Representa tives Here toJLook Orer Field. 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.

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. i iMnunBfr anE WaWa .i Death of Aged Citizen.

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.
