VERY LARGE ATTENDANCE Addresses by Superintendent John Jay Blair and Prof. Washington Catlett. Reports From All tbe Districts Were Most Encouraging. A Teachers' Institute, largely at tended and full of enthusiasm, was held yesterday morning from 10 to 12 o'clock in the Cape Fear Academy building, on Third street. The meeting was in response to a call issued by Prof. Washington Cat lett, New Hanover's capable and en terprising county superintendent, and with but one exception every white teacher in the county's public school system was .present and entered heartily into the spirit of the assembly. The features of the meeting were addresses by Mr. John J. Blair, super intendent of the city schools, who was present as a guest, and by Prof. Wash ington Catlett. Many of the teachers also made informal remarks, which were of entertainment and profit to their co-laborers in the great cause of education. Miss Nellie Cook, super vising principal of the city school?, was invited and assigned a'part on the programme, but she was unavoidably detained, much to the regret of those in attendance. The Institute was called to order at 10 o'clock by Prof. Catlett, who wel comed each and every one present. Among them were Miss Lucy Smith, Oak Ridge school, Federal Point township; Miss Jennie T. Oldham, Myrtle Grove school; Mr. 8. V. Bow- en, East Wilmington; Mr. J. P. Her ring, District No. 4, Masonboro ; Miss Kathleen Elmore, Middle Sound ; Miss Pattie D. Thome, Wrightsuille; Mr. E. C. Herring, Greenville Sound; Misses Augusta Wiggins and Reba Myers, Delgado; Mr. J. G. Murphy, Castle Haynes, and Mr. Matthew Bowen, Acorn Branch. Scott's Hill was alone not represented. After calling the roll of the teachers Prof. Catlett explained that the meet ing was called for mutual profit and that it was in lieu, of the township meetings required in the School Law under section 38, which it was deemed inadvisable to hold on account of the geographical lines of the county and for other reasons. Superintendent Blair was then in troduced and highly entertained and instructed the teachers with an illus trated lecture on botanical subjects and topics of natural history. He also encouraged the treatment of these and kindred subjects in the public schools. His address also dealt with matters geographical and was greatly enjoy ed. Prof. Catlett spoke with good effect upon the necessity of discipline, not only for the good of the teachers but for students themselves. He also re ferred to the beautifying of school grounds and congratulated the teach ers upon what has already been ac complished in this direction. The idea he said, had gone with many of the children to their homes and every where the good effects were in evi dence. He also touched upon the need of inculcating a fondness for reading upon the part of the pupils and encouraged the idea of increasing the rural library which is figuring so prominently in educational circles now. Reports were then received from each and every school in the county and all of them were highly gratify ing and indicative of faithful efforts upon the part of teacher and superin -tendent. The institute adjourned sine die but in the future a meeting of this charac ter will be held each year; some of the teachers favor holding them even more often. A meeting 6f the colored teachers of the county will be held in December. Pecnliar Illness of Child. The little infant son of Mr. and Mrs. George T. Bland, North Fourth street, was attacked by an unexpected . and rather peculiar illness yesterday after noon about 1 o'clock which gave the parents gravest apprehension for the boy's safety. Either in Castoria or the can of milk from which a nursing bot tle was supplied, some chemical change took place to form an opiate which put the infant into a sleep from which it was feared he could not be awaken ed. The child was put away by its mother yesterday morning and in a few hours it was seen that the sleep into which the boy had fallen was un natural Physicians were quickly summoned but at 11;S0 o'clock last night the boy was thought to be out of danger. -' Fifth Ward Water Works. It is believed now that it will be only an incomparably short time un til work will begin on the extension of the water works into .Fifth ward.

McLean & Co., the contractors, and it is hoped the auditing board will find no further objection to the agreement Much of the pipe for the extension is already on the ground, and when the word is given the work will go forward with great dispatch.

Evangelist Greenwood, who is to conduct a series of revival services in the First Baptist church, beginning to-day, arrived from Raleigh last night, and is a!guest of Mr. Allison Alderman, on Second street. He is a superb choir master, and took hold of the large choir last night and suc ceeded in producing splendid music He is a fine soloist, and renders spiritual songs with pleasing effect. He is not a Canadian, but a Bostonian of the purest type. He is thirty-four, quick, but forcible in every move ment and expression. He has sung and spoken twice every day for three months.

A TWENTIETH CENTURY MOVEMENT. Presbyterians Will Raise $300,000 for Edu cation in North Carolina Synod. The Presbyterian Synod of North Carolina, now in session at Charlotte, has taken a very important and pro gressive step in its decision to establish a "Twentieth Century Movement" for the purpose of raising $300,000 for Presbyterian education in the State. That the work may be systematized the Synod has extended a call to Rev. Dr. J. W. Stagg, of Gharlotte, as field secretary at a salary of $4,000 and necessary expenses and Rev. Dr. J. M.. Wells, of Wilmington, has been named as one of a special committe of five to prosecute the call before Meck lenburg Presbytery and have charge of all matters connected with the em ployment of the secretary and the de termination of his duties and relations. The matter is discussed enthusiasti cally by Presbyterians in Wilming ton. The plan is that in order to give every Presbyterian in the State of North Carolina an opportunity of tak ing a responsible part in the great work, it is the will of the Synod that every minister within its bounds shall, as far as practicable, covenant with his session to endeavor to secure tbe pledge and tbe payment of $2 per an num for five years by every member of his particular congregation. By this it is meant to be understood that $2 is to be the average amount per member. LUMBER MEN WILL MEET. The South Atlantic Lumber Association Will Shortly Hold a Special Meeting. To morrow week at Red Springs. N. O, a special meeting of the South Atlantic Lumber Association will be held, one of tbe principal objects of the session being a consideration of complaints in reference to the alleged shortage of railroad cars in some sec tions embraced by tbe Association. The conditton is said to be very grave in localities where entire depen dence is upon railroad shipment. Some mills, it is said, have had to tempor arily suspend operations on account of the shortage of cars, resulting in a demoralization of the laborers and a financial loss to the mill owners. The shortage is due in a large measure to the abnormal demand for cars at this season to move the cotton crop. The meeting at Red Springs prom ises to be largely attended and the discussions very interesting. "THE PRIVATE SECRETARY." Popular Comedy by Stock Company Kept Audience Roaring With Langbter. The Dixie Stock Company closed its highly successful engagement yester day, giving two performances. Both were witnessed by large audiences.

Remarkable Progress Made Since the Work Was Begun Four Weeks Ago. DETAILS OF CONSTRUCTION. Competent Authorities Say It Will be an Up-to-Date Plant In Every Respect. The Disposal Works to be Beau tifiedOther Notes Four weeks ago the Wilmington Sewerage Company began work in the city on its very elaborate system of sanitary sewerage and since that time the remarkable progress made by the enterprising contractors has challenged the admiration of all who have witnessed it Few people, bow ever, are able from a desultory inspec tion to gather a conception of the magnitude of the work already done. More than 25 blocks and crossings have been laid with pipe and ninety five per cent of the excavations for the work have been refilled and the streets left in good condition with the exception of a few "finishing touches" to be put on early this week. The weather during the past two weeks has been ideal for carrying on the work and remarkable progress has been made. Thus far pipe has been laid on the following sections of street; Castle street, from Sixth to the river; Second, Third, Fourth and Sixth, from Church to Castle; Front, from Castle to Nun; Dock, from Front to Sixth ; Second, Fifth and Sixth, from Dock to Orange; Princess, from Second to Seventh. In addition to the mains thus enumerated, all house connections have been made on the streets named, extending in all cases to tbe building line. The work of establishing the man-holes is some what in advance of the pipe-laying, these having been completed at the intersections of Orange with Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth streets and the intersections of Ann with Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth streets. The pipe is also laid in addition to the streets enumerated above, in what may be called; the city proper, from the disposal plant on Burnt Mill creek down Hall to Woods streets: thence south on Woods street to Mil ler street, a distance of about 2,000 feet This latter was a very difficult piece of work, as it required an exca vation of 18 feet depth, in which quicksand and water were encounter ed in such quantities as to tax the in genuity of Chief Engineer Maj. Cnauncey Ives and Superintendent of Construction E. F. Kittson in over coming these difficulties, having to cross deep ravines, where inverted syphons were used instead of trestles and filling. This section must have cost the. company a large sum of money and the efficient man ner in which the work is being done is an evidence of the fact that when completed the citizens of Wilmington will have as fine a system of sanitary sewerage as exists in any other city in the South. In addition to the man-holes at every street crossing, intermediate lamp holes are placed in the centre of the block by which at all times, the flow can be inspected and should any stop page occur the place can at .once be located and the stoppage removed from the man-hole. The sewers being laid, joint by joint, on a true grade and the allignment preserved by a line extending along the bell of the pipe, the grade and al lignment are both so true that a lamp placed in the man-hole while the pipe is being laid is always visible from the next.man-hole. The territory already covered in the short space of time since permission was given to begin the work is an earnest of the promise to complete the system within the ipr escribed limit of time. Tbe Stab is informed that the force of workmen will be increased and the work pursued from now onward with still greater activity. The work al ready done and the methods pursued in its execution appear to be certainly of a high order and the citizens of Wilmington seem to have cause for congratulation that the city will have a sanitary system that does not belie its name. The disposal plant of the company near Oakdale cemetery has been com pleted for some time' and is said by experts to be a very fine work. The plant has been neatly enclosed with a substantial and handsomely painted fence. A contract will be let this week for the turfing of the grounds round about and for planting it in shrubbery and flowers. The road leading to the property from the city limits will also be improved. An Approaching Marriage. Announcement . has been made of the forthcoming marriage on Wednes day, November 6th, at the home of the bride's parents, of Miss Henrietta Shepard, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. C.

It is Said That) Engineer Pemberton Re ceived $12,000 in Settlement With Atlantic Coast Line. The Fayetteville Observer of yester day afternoon says: "The suit of Mr. John A. Pember ton vs. the Atlantic Coast Line rail road was compromised this morning, after a meeting of Mr. George M. Rose, attorney for the Atlantic Coast Line, and Messrs. Robinson & Shaw, attorneys for the plaintiff. This is a suit which was set for trial next Tuesday, in which the plaintiff sought damage to the amount of $100, 000 from the Atlantic Coast Line for injuries received in the collision of a train of which he was the engineer, wun anotner train, standing on the track ahead, near Teacheys. Engineer Pemberton had to jump from his en gine, just before it struck the rear of the train ahead, to save his life. His engine telescoped several of the cars run into and they were set on fire. In jumping Mr. Pemberton received serious injuries, his scalp was almost torn from his bead and several ribs were broken. He was taken to the hospital at Rocky Mount and his life was despaired of for several dav It was claimed by the plaintiff that the acci dent was none of his fault, but was through the negligence of the train run into. The compromise as effected gives Mr. Pemberton in round numbers about $12,000. The following is the judgment of the court, signed to-day by Judge McNeill. North Carolina Cumberland County.
