QEORQE CHADB0URN DEAD.
Yoosc Mas la the Prime of Life Is Takes
to His RewardThe Sadly Be
reaved Family.
It is with exceeding regret that the
Stab chronicles this morning the
death of Mr. George Chadbourn, only
son of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Chad-
bourn, Jr., and a young man known
and highly respected by very many
people in Wilmington and else
where. He died at 4:15 o'clock yesterday
afternoon at the home of his parents,
No. 323 South Front street, after an
illness of twenty-eight days with ty
phoid fever. He became ill at Ohapel
Hill, where he was pursuing post
graduate studies and was removed to
his home in this city last Sunday two
weeks ago, on the same day on
which his sister. Miss Blanche King
Chadbourn, was brought home with
a fatal illness from StMary's, Raleigh.
Although it was known that his con
dition was very serious, on the day be
fore his death his loved ones thought
that they could notice a slight im
provement in his condition, but yester
day he grew rapidly worse and en
tered Into rest at the hour indicated.
Mr. Chadbourn was a young man of
many traits of splendid character and
was popular every where for his manly
bearing and genial spirit At college
he was a favorite and at home he was
loved. He was bornhere April 87th,
1879, and was therefore in the 23rd
year of his age. He was prepared for
college under the classical tuition of
the distinguished Dr. Morrelle, who
was once well known in educational
circles here. He graduated at the

MRS. KATE D. WHITING
Wife of Distinguished Confeder
ate General Died in This City
Yesterday Morning.
FUNERAL THIS AFTERNOON.
Death Entirely Unexpected and is Greatly
Deplored by Hosts of Friends Her
Life Was Devoted to Memory
of Her Husband.
Tbe community was saddened yes- -
terday morning at the announcement
of the unexpected death of Mrs. Cath
erine D. Whiting, wife of the late
General William Henry Chase Whit
ing, C. S. A., which occurred at her
home, No. Ill South Fourth street,
this city, during the early hours of
the day. The death was very sudden
and came for that reason as a shock
all the more pronounced to members
of her family and hundreds of friends.
Upon the advice of her physician she
was out walking as was her custom,
Wednesday afternoon, but returning
home she complained of feeling very
unwell and retired toherroorr. She
was attended during the night but in
no wise was her condition regarded as
serious. When a member of the fam
ily went into her room yesterday
morning to inquire of her feel
ing, it was found that her
spirit had taken its flight to an
other world. Physicians nronounce
the cause of her death as heart di
sease. The news of her passing away
quickly spread Hi the city and the
large nnmber of friends who called at
the home during the day attested the
very great esteem in which she was
held by those who enjoyed her ac
quaintance.
Mrs. Whiting was born in Wilming
ton and died in the sixty-sixth year of
her age. She was a daughter of the
late Maj. John Walker and Mrs.
Eliza Morehead Walker and belonged
to one of the most influential and
prominent families in the State. She
was a grand-daughter of General
Thomas Davis, of Fayette ville, and a
grand niece of Col. John Walker, who
was an aide on the staff of General
Washington. Her father, Msjor John
Walker, was a son of Thomas Wal
ker, and Ann Wadehouse, of North
umberland, England, and was born
in Browick-on-Tweed in 1779 and died
in 1863.
Mrs. Whiting was married to Gen
eral Whiting in April 1857, only a few
years before the cruel war which de
prived her of a devoted husband and
theConfederacy of a gallant soldier and
officer. General Whiting was a native
of Mississippi and graduated with dis
tinction andafter a brilliant career at
West Point in 1845. In aclass of forty
five he stood first He had the highest
average In his studies ever attained at
West Point up to that time and his
marking was "maximum" in every
thing academic.
When the Civil War broke out he
cast his lot with the Confederacy and
was at different times Msjor General
commanding a division of the army of
Northern Virginia and of troops in
Wilmington. He was in both battles
at Fort Fisher and in its fall he re
ceived a wound which ultimately re
sulted in his death March 10th, 1865,
in a Federal prison at Governor's Is
land, New York, to which he was
taken. Only last year his remains
were brought to Wilmington and in
terred in Oakdale.
Since the death of her husband Mrs.
Whiting had devoted her life . to his
memory and her affection for him was
touching. Her character was a no
ble one and all who knew her loved
her. She had been in ill health since
Spring but her death was not ex
pected.
Of her immediate family a brother
and two sisters survive. They are
Capt Alves Walker, Mrs. Fred Fos-
gate and Mrs. John Cowan. She is
also survived by a number of nephews
and nieces as follows, Miss Hanna
P. Bolles, Mrs. J. E. Reinburg, Mrs.
Alice L. Everett and Miss Maria Wal
kerof this city; Mrs. R. Duval Jones,
of Newborn ; Messrs. James tL and
Robert H. Cowan, of Wilmington;
Mr. Jno. W. Bolles, of Hong Kong,
China; Mr. William B. Walker, of
Manila, P. Lj and Piatt D. Walker,
Esq., of Charlotte.
The funeral will be conducted this
afternoon at 3 o'clock from St James1
Episcopal Church, with interment in
Oakdale cemetery,
By request of the president mem
bers of Cape Fear Chapter, Daughters
of the Confederacy, will assemble at
2 o'clock this afternoon at the Wil
mington Light Infantry armory for
the purpose of attending the funeral
in a body.
At the City Rock Qnarry.
A very fine grade of rock and one
very much superior to the kind that
has been mined for the past several
months, is now being dug from the
city rock quarry in East Wilmington.
The quarry is being worked about four
feet deeper than ever before and as a
result of the extra labor a blue forma
tion of phosphate rock has been found
which is unexcelled for macadamizing
purposes. It is being used in bringing
the work down Princess street from
Ninth.
Lieat Wootten Better.
Rev. Edward Wootten was in re
ceipt yesterday of very encouraging
news from his son, Lieutenant Brad
ley J. Wootten, U. a A., who is near
Havana. The news is that Lieut
Wootten is decidedlv better. His
Dhvsicians are hopeful and say that
the crisis is past.

NO FOOTBALL THANKSGIVING.
The Qame With North Carolina Military
Academy Has Been Called Off.
Unless the unexpected happens
there'll be no "pig skin chasing" in
Wilmington on Thanksgiving. And
what will a Thanksgiving in Wil
mington be without football?
Those were the questions with which
the local sporting element yesterday
interested itself. The game with the
Red Springs Military Academy which
was.appointed for Thanksgiving and
for which practices had begun has
been called off for the reason that
no suitable grounds can be had unless
a larger amount is expended 'for im
provement than the local manage
ment thinks a one-game schedule will
warrant It was yery reluctantly that
the management called off the game
but there was no alternative and there
fore it had to be done.
It is likely that a large contingent of
the local cranks will go to Charlotte
on Thanksgiving to witness the cham
pionship game between Carolina and
Clemson.

corner-stone laying in that town next
Thurday:
Atlantic Lodge of Odd Fellows will
lay the corner-stone to their new lodge
building on Moore street on Thursday
next The building is not yet com
pleted, but that day, Thanksiving, was
selected as being a very appropriate
day for the ceremonies with which the
exercises will be given.
Past Grand Master Marcus W.
Jacobi, of Wilmington, will act as
grand master in the services of lay
ing the corner-stone. A choir has
been selected to aid in the exercises,
and the 8outhport Cornet Band will
also furnish music. It is not yet
known who the orator of the day will
be, but there will be an orator
present
Arrangements have been made with
Captain Harper to run an excursion
here that day, leaving Wilmington at
9:45 A. M., and returning leave here
at 3:30 P. M. If the weather is good
the prospect is fair for a large number
from Wilmington.
The ladies will serve lunch and
oysters across the street from the
building for the benefit of the build
ing fund.

For the Orphans.
Committees from the four lodges of
Odd Fellows in the city have already
begun preparations for sending their
annual Thanksgiving contribution to
the children of the Orphanage at
Goldsboro. The sending of a box of
good things on that day has been a
custom with the Wilmington lodges
for years and it is a custom which is
highly commendable.
