A NEW ICE FACTORY.
Prominent Business Men of Wil
mington Have Formed Large
Stock Company.
AUTHORIZED CAPITAL $100,000.
Forty Tkossind Dollars of Amooat Already
Paid la aad Work Oa Plaat Will Be
lla at Osce All Classes o!
. . Trade Will be Cared For.
Authorative announcement has just
been made of the formation In this
city of a joint stock company for the
purpose of erecting and operating a
new ice factory in Wilmington.
If will be known as "The Indepen
dent Ice Company" and the paid-in
capital stock will be $40,000 with an
authorization to increase to $100,000,
if at any time it should be deemed ad
visable. The incorporators are J. A.
Springer, W. Q. Whitehead, Wm. E.
Springer, R. W. Wallace, D. H. Pen
ton, W. E. Perdew, all of Wilmington,
and L. H. Simmons, of Rocky Mount,
N.O.
Formal application was yesterday
made to the Secretary of State for a
charter, which will be forthcoming in
a few days and then the company will
be organized by the election of offi
cers, etc
The machinery for the plant was
purchased last week and it will be
strictly modern and of the most ap
proved manufacture. The capacity
will be 75 tons per day guaranteed,
which will be the largest output by a
single factory perhaps In the State.
A site for the new plant has already
been purchased, but thus far promi
nent members of the company prefer
not to give the location for reasons
best known to themselves. It is suf
ficient to say, however, that the fac
tory will be most eligibly located with
abundant railway facilities and con
veniences for doing a very large busi
ness. Ground will be broken for the
new buildings Monday, December
2nd, and a member of the company
significantly remarked last night
that it would be the "quickest
built and equipped ice plant ever con
structed in the State." The contract
for the machinery is with an entire
elimination of "ifs" and "ands"and it
is expected that the company will be
ready for orders early in January.
Both the wholesale and retail trade
willJbe solicited and orders outside
of Che city will be diligently
looked after. The incorporators
ofjthe company, except Mr. Simmons,
are well known and substantial busi
ness men of capital and indomitable
energy. Mr. Simmons is a man of cap
ital and fourteen years experience in
ice manufacture. Until a few months
ago he was interested in and managed
a plant in Rocky Mount, N. C, and
prior to that time was engaged in the
manufacture of ice at Durham, N. C.
and Roanoke, Va. He will remove
with his family to Wilmington and
will give every detail of the building
of the factory his strictest supervision.
Although no authoritative an
nouncement is made to that effect, it is
earned that several contracts have al
ready been secured by the new com
pany, prominent among them being
with the Armour people and others.
Mr. Simmons, who has been in the
city the past several days in the inter
est of the new company, left yester
day evening, returning to his home at
Rocky Mount

M1LLIS BELL FEUD.
Superior Court Principally Taken
Up Yesterday in Investigat
ing Family Quarrel.
JUDGE 0. H. ALLEN PRESIDING.
Term Will Continue Bat for One Week,
With Heavy Docket Special Venire
to Try Murder Case Other Pro
ceedings of the Day.
New Hanover Superior Court for
the trial of criminal cases convened
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock and
ill continue in session for one week.
The docket is very heavy and the
court, was not slow in organizing.
Judge Allen, presiding, Solicitor Duf
fy and other court officers got imme
diately to work and before an adjourn-
ment for the day was reached at 6
o'clock yesterday evening a large
amount of business was transacted.
A large portidn of the day was spent
in investigating cases growing out of
the Bell Millis family feud, all of
which are familiar to the public from
accounts of the preliminary examina
tions of the defendants before police
and magistrate tribunals.
Geo. Millis, son-in-law of the elder
Bell, Scipio Millis, brother of George
Millis, and Walter Bell, son of the
elder Bell, were each arraigned dur
ing the morning session on the charge
of having engaged in an affray in front
of Justice MeGowan's office a month
or .more ago. The Millis' boys were
represented by A. J. Marshall and
Herbert McClammy, Esas., and when
a portion of the testimony had been
received, they each submitted to sim
ple assault, which plea was accepted and
defendants were taxed with the costs. !
The younger Bell entered through his
counsel, George L. Peschau, Esq., a
plea of self defence in using a deadly
weapon and he was acquitted by the
jury.
The three defendants were then
placed on trial for resisting Constable
Sheehan, who interfered with the
melee and assisted Justices Fowler,
McGowan, Alderman Geo. Harriss,
Policeman Howell and Others in mak
ing the arrests. The jury rendered a
verdict of not guilty as to Bell by
agreement with -Solicitor Duffy, who
appeared for the State, and George
and Scipio Millis were found not
guilty by the jury.
Later in the day Scipio Millis enter
ed a submission of guilty to a charge
of assault with a deadly weapon at an
other time upon the elder Bell. The
submission was left open by Judge
Allen, pending investigation of further
cases against Bell. 8r., for shooting
George Millis and against George
Millis for assaulting Bell with a scale
weight.
Judge Allen stated to counsel that
he would take those matters up first
thing to-day at 9 o'clock, just before
trial of the Wallace murder case.
Upon the convening of court, the
sheriff returned 34 of the 36 jurors
summoned for the term and the fol
lowing were excused by His Honor,
Judge Allen: Samuel J. Davis, Jas.
P. Post, Jno. S. Divine, J. S. Grimes,
B. Rhodes, H. A. Burr, L. B. Pen
nington, Jno. H. BruBjes, Frank P.
Lamb, S. Solomon, R W. Wallace,
N. L. Smith and Jno. H. Hintze.
The following grand jury was
selected for the term and duly sworn :
M. M. Parker (foreman), C. RBranch,
Geo. T. Hewlett, John Bimon, M. W.
Jacob!, F. W. Ortmann, Jr., M. H. P.
Clark, Mike Clark, Julius Weill. W.
E. Merrit, C. W. Hewlett, Jesse E.
Smith, R. S. Haddock. Jesse Wilder.
Frank H. Miller, J. J. Williams,
Thos. Qtiinlivan and J. A. McGeachy.
C. M. Harriss was sworn as bailiff of
the grand jury.
Fifteen talesmen were ordered sum
moned for duty to-day.
The first case for the day was that
of John Wallace, colored, charged
with the murder of Will Dudley, also
colored. John H. Gore, Jr., Esq., of
counsel for defendant asked for a con
tinuance of the case on account -or a
press of professional business of a
civil nature, but Judge Allen insisted
upon a trial, stating that the associate
counsel, Robert Ruark, Esq., was
present and willing to try the case. Mr.
Gore at length consented to try the
case and the same was set for trial this
morning at 10 o'clock. The Sheriff
was instructed to summon a special
venire of sixty jurors from which to
select the trial jury. These were sum
moned yesterday afternoon and will
be returned to-day.
Other proceedings of the court yes
terday were mainly without interest.
WillisjMack, a negro, who said he came
from Charleston, S. C, on a visit was
found guilty of assault with deadly
weapon upon a colored woman and
likewise of carrying concealed wea
pon. He had no counsel, conducted
his own case and said he had been in
iail four months. He will be senten
ced to-day.
Wm. Brown, the negro cleverly
"nabbed" by Policemen E. J. Grim
sley as he was about to rifle the cash
drawer in the store of E. Warren &
Co., several months ago, was tried for
store breaking and the jury retired
with the case. Herbert McClammy,
Esq., counsel for the negro, made the
point that the element of "breaking"
was not shown as the .window up
stairs from which he entered from an
adjoining building might have been
open. . The bill did. not charge lar
ceny and Judge Allen called the jury
out of the room and, by agreement of
counsel, ordered a mistrial. Brown
will, however, be held under a new
bill of indictment now being'pre-
pared and charging larceny. .
When the Wallace case is ended
Hector McLauchlin andE. Tiner will
be tried for burglary in the first de
gree. R. G. Grady, Esq., has been
appointed by the court to defend the
prisoners, and they have Talso em
ployed C. D. Weeks, Esq., to appear
with him. It is understood that a mo
tion for continuance will be made.
WANTED TO KILL HIMSELF.
Draokea White Mao Caused Excitement
On Third and Chnrch Streets.
George Roderick, white, created
considerable excitement in the vicini
ty of Third and Church streets yester
day afternoon about 2:30 o'clock, by
crying aloud that he was at once go
ing to commit suicide, at the same
time pressing the barrel of a huge re
volver against his temple as if about
to perform the threat so loudly pro
claimed. He was badly intoxicated
and his wild gesticulations attracted
several persons passing who implored
him to desist, but who received for re
ply, with an oath, the : admonition to
go away from him, else he would
make it a double tragedy. It is need
less to say that a majority of the on
lookers did the desisting and at last
when Roderick attracted no further
attention, he amused himself by hold
ing up a negro drayman.
A hurry call was sent to the police
station and Sergeant Burnet and iHall
Officer Howell responded. They ar
rested Roderick further up the street
and lodged him in the station house
for trial to-day by Mayor Waddell.
The pistol was taken from bis person.
Roderick is a middle-aged man and
lives in the southern section of the
city.

received word, through their respect

North Carolina State Guard, that he
would be here this morning on his
annual tour of inspection and would
expect the companies to be ready in
ranks for the formal review to-night.
Col. Bain will arrive this morning
from Goldsboro, and although the
companies have only the barest
notice, they will be ready and in fine
shape for the inspection.
s--a-Reslfaatlon
Accepted.
The Stab learns with regret that
Rev. R. H. Herring, pastor of South
side Bsptist church, has pressed his
resignation and that it has at length
been accepted with much reluctance to
go into effect in the near future. Rev.
Mr. Herring has many friends both in
his congregation and in Wilmington
at large who will receive the news of
his intended departure with a feeling
of personal loss.' He is considering one
or two calls to other churches but as
yet has made no plans for the future.

BOUGHT COTTON MILL
Sale of Great Falls Manufactur
ing Plant, Near Rockingham,
Confirmed Yesterday.
PURCHASED BY MR. D. L. GORE
Aoooiocemeot That He Will Expend Large
Amount la Eolargiof and Improv
log the Pactory la Union
Superior Court.
Judge Walter H. Neal, in Union
County Superior Court at Monroe,
yesterday confirmed the receiver's sale
of the Great Falls Cotton Mill, near
Rockingham, N. O, to Mr. D. L.
Gore, the well known business man
and capitalist of this city. The price
at which the property was bid in. by
Mr. Gore at the sale on November
4th was $37,245, and the mill is con
sidered a great bargain at that
amount.
It is announced that Mr. Gore will
spend over $40,000 in an improvement
and enlargement of the plant, so that
it will be one of the most important
factories of its kind in the State. Not
only will the mill be enlarged, but
machinery will be installed for the
manufacture of a finer grade of goods,
and Mr. Gore will then rank as per
haps one of the largest individual cot
ton mill owners in North or South
Carolina.
The sale was by W. N. Everett, re
ceiver, and was by order of the Supe
rior Court. . The price at which the
mill was sold is but about $7,500 in
excess of the company's liabilities.
About $50,000 has been spent on im
provement of the property within the
past six years, and the plant was in
active operation only a few months
ago. The late improvements were in
the way of new machinery, new ware
houses, repairing dams and the instal
lation of a new water wheel. The
tax value of the property is $50,000.
In speaking of the mill a recent issue
of the Rockingham Anglo Saxon
says:
"It is one of the oldest mill sites in
the State. .The old Richmond mill
manufactured cotton goods there with
the crude methods of the times, from .
1837 up to the time of the war, when it
was burned down by bherman's army.
It was rebuilt in 1871 and stocked with
machinery at the high prices imme
diately following the war, and hence
it was capitalized proportionately at a
high figure. For many years it did a
prosperous business, but paid out all
that it made in dividends, so that
when its machinery was worn out it
had to borrow to buy. Then came the
Chinese disturbance, which practically
closed down the market for the heavy
white goods it was making, and there
was nothing left for it to do but shut
down. We have no doubt that a new
management will equip it for manu
facturing a different grade of goods
and do a successful business."
