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 New Haaover Peasloaers. The pension roll for New Hanover county, as received by CoL Jno. D. Taylor, clerk of the Superior Court, shows two soldiers of the second class, five of the third class and twenty-five of the fourth class. There are twenty- two widows of soldiers who are enti tled to pension money. Soldiers of the first class, of which New Hanover has none, receive $63 per year; second class, $50; third class, $40. and fourth class. $20. Last year the first class re ceived $58; second, $43.50; third, 29, and fourth $14.56. The number of pensioners in the State is approxi mately 9,000, of which number 117 are first class, 275 second class, 535 third class and 7,700 fourth class. A Real Estate Transfer. W. M.

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. "C0M1NQ MEN UP AMERICA." Lodge of the Order Orgaaized la Wilmlng ton Last NIfbt Officers Elected.

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. "The Oay Mr. Qoldstela." - A good sized audience was present last night to witness the production of "The Gay Mr. Goldstein" at the Opera House. Following so closely upon the sunerb nresentation of the "Wrong Mr. Wright" by John All! son on Saturday nisrht. "Mr. Gold stein" was, perhaps, not the success he would otherwise have been. Por tions of the performance were, how ever, very laughable but upon the whole it was not what might hare been expected of a three star east. Mr. Jasnersen Smith, of New York, arrived in the city last evening. 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." PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Mr. J. W. St. John, of New York, is a guest at The Orton. Mr. W. Rosed Bonsae, of Hamlet, was at The Orton yesterday. Mr. J. F. Maloney, the popu lar Richmond travelling man, is at Tne Orton. Dr. J. N.
