Funeral of the Late Lieutenant Bradley Jewett Wootten Held Yesterday. SERVICES VERY IMPRESSIVE. The Attendance Was Uonsuilly Large and Flora! Tributes Were Many and Beau tlful Soldier Blew Taps Over a Comrade's Qrave. In the presence of a congregation of friends and relatives that com pletely filled the edifice, the order for the burial of the dead over the re mains of the late Lieutenant Bradley Jewett Wootten, Seventh cavalry, U, S. A., was impressively said yester day morning at 11 o'clock in St. James' Episcopal church, the Rev. Frederick H. T. Hursfield, the rector, assisted by Dr. James Carmichael, rec tor of BL John's church, officiating. Despite the very co?i weather the attendance upon the services was larger perhaps than upon any funeral in Wilmington in several years The young' officer was very popular in the city, and the deplorable circum stances under which he died made the funeral a sad one indeed. The casket, wrapped in one of the Seventh Cavalry flags and decorated oeauuruuy with noral emblems, placed upon it by loving hands, was tenderly borne into the church from the Wootten residence, next door, by the young men who were among the groomsmen of the deceased at his wedding in the same edifice only a few short months before. They were Messrs. Clayton Giles, Jr., Marsden Bellamy, Jr., Fred Bolles, S. M. Boat wright, George D. Crow and Allen Huggins. Preceding the casket down the aisle were Lieut. Col. W. 8. Edgerly, Sev enth Cavalry, TJ. 8. A. ; Lieut. T. W. Holladay, U. 8. A., at Fort Caswell; Capt. Donald MacRae, Company K, U. 8. V., and Capt. E. W. VanCourt Lucas, in charge of the Wilmington Corps of Engineers, U. 8. A. Immediately following the remains were Cpt. Champ McD. Davis, adju tant, Third Regiment, N. C. State Guard; Capt. Alex. P. Adrian, Com pany C, N. C. Bute Guard, and Mj. W. F. Robertson, assistant paymaster general, N. C. State Guard. These were followed by members of the family of the deceased and of the sor rowing young wife, who accompanied the remains of her husband from Havana. The hymns, 4 Onward, Christian Soldier" and "Thy Will Be Done," were sweetly rendered at the service by a special choir consisting of Miss Annie Hirt, Miss Mary Calder, Mrs. E. K. Bryan, Mr. C H. Cooper and Mr. A S. Holden, with Mr. E. EL Munson accompanist. From the church .the procession moved slowly to Oakdale cemetery. where all that was mortal of the young officer was committed to earth. Bugler Lewis, of the army post at Caswtll, blew taps over the grave after the committal service. The funeral was one of the largest and one of the saddest in the history of Wilmington.

Paddison, the principal. The school room had been decorated with evergreen and vines. A beautiful Christmas tree, which presented a very attractive picture, occupied one space, heavily laden with choice and suitable presents. At 7 o'clock the services opened by the children marching on the stage sing. ing "The Happiest Time." Then fol lowed the Christmas cantata, entitled Santa Claus' Dream," which was creditably rendered by the entire schooL The fine singing by the chil dren was a marked feature of the oc casion. Miss Paddison feels much in debted to Mrs. D. J. Black for assist ing her in training the children in the singing. After the cantata the presents from the tree were distributed, which were greatly enjoyed by all. There is great interest maniiestea in this place in regard to education and Miss Paddison received many con. gratulations from the patrons and friends of the school for the efficient manner in which she has conducted it Lieensed to Wed.

Well Known Citizen of tbe County Passed Awsy Frldsy Night Funersl Will be Held Tcday. Mr. James N. Macomber, an esteem' ed citizen of New Hanoyer and for many years a resident of Wilmington, died Friday night at 11 o'clock at bis home near Wrightsville Sound after an illness of several months with Bright's disease. Although Mr. Ma comber had been in poor health for some time, his death was rather sud den and the news yesterday came to his friends here and elsewhere as a surprise and shock. Mr. Macomber was in the 68th year of his age and was of a family that in years gone by was one of the most ex tensive real estate owners in the county. His venerable mother passed away only a week ago at Bichmond. in the 97th year of her age and was buried here. For many years prior to, during and after the war deceased was agent in Wilmington of the Southern Express Company, but in late years he has been engaged in farming and merchandising in the country. He had been a justice of the peace of the county and for many years he had been tax lister for Harnett township. He took a lively interest in county af fairs and was often called upon to perform public duties in his township, which he always did with pride and eminent satisfaction. Of the original Macomber family there is now only one remaining mem ber, Mr. Robert E. Macomber, a brother of the deceased and 'a promi nent business man of Bichmond, Va., being a member of the firm of Nolan & Co., leading jewellers. . The funeral of the deceased will be held from his late residence at 10 o'clock this morning and the remains will be brought to Wilmington on a Seacoaat railroad train at 11 A. M. The interment will be in Oakdale ceme tery. Vocal snd Violin Recital. The vocal and violin recital at the Y. M. C. A. last night by Miss Norma Foster and her assistants, Miss Fannie Corbett, pianist, and Mr. A. Irwin Borke, reader, was thoroughly enjoyed by a large audience, the extremely cold weather being taken into consid eration. The programme was of an unusually high order of excellence and those who had a place upon it cleverly executed every part. The numbers were of a classical nature and were especially pleasing to those whose knowledge of music would ad mit of a thorough appreciation. For all it was an enjoyable evening, and one which would well bear a repeti tion. Just meet me at Burke's Jewelry Store.
