ests el City-River sod Harbor
Work Other Matters.
The regu ar monthly meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce yesterday
afternoon was not a lengthy one but
a number of important matters were
discussed and action taken in refer
ence thereto. President Jacobi was in
the chair and CoL Jno. L. Cantwell,
the secretary, kept a record of the pro
ceedings. The attendance was very
satisfactory.
The regular order of business was
taken up under head of reports from
special committees. Mr. L. B. Rogers
stated that the Chamber committee to
confer with the Aldermen relative to
an appropriation for public conven
iences, had performed its duties and
was assured of the hearty co-operation
of the city authorities. A committee
had been named by the Aldermen to
confer with the business men as to the
best methods to be used in providing
the accommodations.
When new business had been called
the president stated the question of
longdistance telephone service was
still in abeyance.
Mr. L M. Bear asked why it wss, not
proper to take steps to get telephone
service to Wallace, Mount Olive and
points in Sampson county ss wss
talked of several months ago. Mr.
Bear's suggestion brought out a gen
eral discussion of telephone possibil
ities in the long distance regard and
the result of the discussion was the ap
pointment of Messrs. L M. Bear, L.
B. Rogers and Capt. James I. Metts,
as a committee to confer with the au
thorities of both systems in Wilming
ton or others, if necessary, relative to
a 8tate and long distance service.
Mr. Rogers, as one of a committee
from the Produce Exchange, asked for
the co-operation of the Chamber of
Commerce in the matter of securing a
double daily train service over the
Seaboard Air Line railroad, on a sched
ule similar to that now in effect on
the W., C. & A. road. Capt. T. D.
Meares, general agent of the S. A. I.,
in this city, suggested that the com
pany would have to operate the train
at a loss of about f 1,600 per month if it
was put on and that to get any con
nection at Hamlet with the North, the
train would have to leave Wilming
ton about 4 A. M.
After further discussion the presi
dent appointed Messrs. T. W. Clawson
and L. Bluethenthal as a committee to
co-operate with the gentlemen from
the Produce Exchange in urging the
service to the proper officials.
The president suggested that in view
of the meeting of Congress, members
should again become alive to the
needs of the port in the wsy of appro
priations for river and harbor work.
'He simply made the suggestion that
members might be thinking about the
several projects that were more gener
ally discussed last year.
Mr. J. B. Mercer called attention to
the need of Lockwood's Folly river in
this respect. He said a petition largely
signed last year asking for an appro
priation for that stream was in the
hands of Congressman Bellamy and
he was assured Mr. Bellamy would do
the best he could for an appropriation.
About $18,000 was spent in improving
the river fifteen years ago and this
improvement would soon be worthless
unless the work could be kept up and
enlarged.
The Chamber adjourned, subject to
call of the president

ROSE COGHLAN'S COMING.
She Will Appear Here la Sensatloaal
Society Drama Next Moadsy Nlrht
. A Notsble Attrsctloa.
Rose Coghlan's "A Woman of No
Importance" is the most talked of
play of the season. Press criticisms
say it has achieved instantaneous suc
cess on its merits as a polished satire
on modern social shams. It packed
the house nightly at the Fifth Avenue
Theatre and on its road tour because
there is nothing hackneyed about its
theme, because of its brilliancy in sit
uation and dialogue, because it amuses
by means of easy satire and humor
and because of the splendid emotional
-work of Miss Rose Coghlan who ap
pears in the titular role which presents
this superb actress at her best From
grave to gay. from lively to severe,
she runs the scale of human emotions
until the climax of the third act dis
plays the art and power of this gifted
woman, who is recognized as Amer
ica's greatest actress in parts like this
of "A Woman of No Importance."
The company chosen to support her is
in all respects -an excellent one. The
sensational character of the story and
the quick succession of dramatic inci
dents are intensely interesting, and
the satire of the author's lines is as
keenly incisive as a surgeon's knife.
The best society will doubtless be re
presented in the auditorium when
Rose Coghlan appears here on Monday
night Dec 9ib.

Conference met at 9:40 o'clock this
morning, Bishop Hargrove presiding.
One of the most interesting proceed
ings of the day was the hearing of a
report from Revs. R. F. BumpassD.
H. Tuttle and J. N. Cole regarding
Fifth Street church, Wilmington.
Rev. John H. Hall, pastor of the
church, presented the case, explaining
the circumstance of a very onerous
debt upon the congregation. He was
strongly supported by Rev. D. H. Tut
tle, of Kinston, who supplemented
his remarks and started the ball to
rolling by giving $25.
The subscriptions were made rapid
ly by members of the Conference. It
is necessary to raise $2,300 and the
committee wanted the money raised
this morning. Drs. W. O. Norman,
J. N. Cole and L. L. Nash made
strong speeches and declared there was
no cause so urgent to come before this
body. Dr. Cole insisted that the
amount ought to be raised to-day.
Mr. Tuttle said he believed if every
body would give all to- day the Lord
would replenish them to-morrow. Dr.
J. F, Miller, of Goldsboro, made
an appeal to the laymen to do
more and backed ( his words by
an additional $85 to a former con
tribution. One thousand dollars was
raised and the Conference stood and
sang "Praise God from Whom All
Blessings Flow." The remainder of
the $2,800 will be obtained from the
parent board and the church may now
be said to be "out of debt"
When the name of Rev. R. J. Moor
man was called this morning his pre
siding elder announced that in conse
quence of charges affecting this
brother's character, and, after investi-
gating same, itwas found necessary to
cite him to triaL The bishop appoint
ed the following members as the trial
committee: Messrs. Cole, McCall,
Craven, Allred, Bailey, Pope, John
son, Bundy and Parker.
Under head of question twenty, the
Bishop called the names of presiding
elders. Rev. J. T. Gibbs, of the Ral
eigh District stated that in his district
the reports would show the largest
financial increase in its history.

News of the liquidation of the debt
under which Fifth Street church, of
this city, has labored so long, was re
ceived here with genuine satisfaction
not alone by members of the congre
gation themselves, who have borne
with patience the brunt of the unfortu
nate circumstances which left them in
debt, but by friends of every denomi
nation in Wilmineton. The news
came first in a private message to Mr.
Jno. T. Sholar, who has been very per
sistent in his efforts to assist in the
work.
Before leaving for conference Rev.
Mr. Hall, who has also done a noble
work in lifting the church debt, found
a balance due by the church of $13,000.
He at once effected an arrangement
with the principal bondholders by
which this debt was reduced to $9,000,
He and other prominent workers next
raised in good subscriptions approxi
mately $6,000, leaving the balance to
conference, which has now practically
been settled. In the next few months
the $6,000 in good subscriptions will be
collected and the amount from confer
ence will be put with it for an entire
liauidatlon. The bonds are not due
until next October, but within a few
months the church hopes to have the
debt entirely wiped out.

THE NEWS FROM RALEIGH.
State Will Borrow Money to Rebsiid the
Wstanjs HsU-Snrety Compaay Piled
Answer to Worth ComplsioL
Special Star Telegram.
Raleigh, N. C, Dec 5. The
State Board of Agriculture passed
a resolution to-day for the Btate to
borrow $30,000 to be used, together
with $6,000 insurance money, to erect
two buildings instead of Watauga
Hall burned a few days ago; Watauga
Hall to be rebuilt as a dormitorf ex
clusively, and another building erect
ed to contain a large assembly hall, a
dining room and kitchen. The plans
are to be secured and the contracts
awarded at once.
Counsel for the United States Fidel
ity and Guarantee Company to-day
tiled in the Superior Court an answer
to the suit of ex State Treasurer W.
H. Worth to recover $15,301.03. em
bezzled by Major W . H. Martin while
institutional clerk in the State Treas
ury. The answer charges Treasurer
Worth with gross carelessness in fail
ing to properly check np Martin's
accounts and certifying to defendant
company at the end of each year that
the accounts were correct when he
had not properly inspected them. The
company claims that it was on the
ground of Treasurer Worth's state
ment that the accounts were correct
that the company renewed Martin's
bond from year to year. This is stated
as the principal one of several reasons
why the plaintiff should not recover.
Armistead Jones & Son are counsel
for the Surety Company.

The loss is partially covered by insur
ance.
Opera House Last Night.
The farce comedy, "A Bell Boy,"
was presented at the Opera House laat
night to a fair sized audience. Some
of the features were entertaining;
many others were not. Upon the
whole the performance was not satis
factory, though there were bits of in
dividual work that deserve praise.
Individual mention should be made of
the work of Miss May Claree in one
of the minor roles, who promises in a
few seasons to develop Into something
higher than the ordinary.

Chairman D. McEachern, of the
Board of County Commissioners, last

to the fact that the bonds are perfectly
sound.
