CertalaCnaacesRezardiof Name and Per petual Care Food Were Effected. Expressions Upon Mr. Chad boom's Death Officers. The annual meeting of lot owners in Oakdale cemetery was held last night at the office of the secretary and treasurer, Mr. Richard J. Jones, No. 305 Princess street Features of the meeting were the reading of the an nual reports, the election of officers and directors and the adoption of an amendment to the constitution with reference to the "Perpetual Agree ment Fund" and ia conformity to an act passed by the last Legislature., There waa a good attendance and Mr. W. H. Chad. bourn was called to thechair, Mr. Richard J. Jones, in his accustomed place as secretary. After dispensing with routine work the re port of the secretary and treasurer was read by Mr. J. C. 8teyenson. It was carefully prepared in detail and indicated skilled management of the cemetery and a healthy condition of the finances of the company. There was a balance Jan. 1st of $23,280.89 to the credit of the general fund and $15,193 to the "Perpetual Care Fund." The report dealt in detail with the es tablishment and ' growth of the latter fund and was preparatory to the change in constitution effected later. Mr. Stevenson, in reading the report of Mr. Jones, paid a high tribute to that official and the neatness of his valuable report The report of Mr. Timothy Donlan, the superintendent of the cemetery, was also read by Mr. Stevenson and is as follows: Number of interments, 119. of which 98 died in Wilmington, and 29 were brought here for burial. Number of removals, 17, of which 12 were made on the cemetery and 5 were taken out; 4 to High Point N. C, and one to Richmond; Va. LiOts sold, 23J; lots put on "perpetual care list" 3ii; lots kept in order, 560, of which 173 are on the perpetual care list Neglected lots cleaned once in April and once in 8ptember, 450. No charge made and 121 lots kept in order which are staked on the new grounds and ready for sale; on which grass has been planted and some 120 trees and plants set out and all doing well, as you well know. We do not plant trees in Oakdale only to grow. Much care is. given to the new sec tions lately opened to bring that part of the cemetery up to, if not to sur pass, the other portions in beauty. I am still working on those new ground, having done little at this work during the summer niontns and having a large amount of material to remove so as to get the proper grade, so as to get the best result in griding grounds. The brst results-are from large sections when opened, as the re moval of sand is done by levelling up the valleys at some places, or in other words, doing two tnings at one and the same time. This is where the saving comes in. During the past year I have macad amized 450 square yards of road. The rock is on tnat drive leading from Gao. W. Williams' lot to and around the 8ummer house, and from the present outlook this Spring by paving the gutters and terracing the banks along this drive. I am levelling an avenue jast north of the Jewish lot wnicn required a large amount oi nu- mg in, and wnen leveuea up wui place rock on it. A large amount I have already crushed. Of this I got much of it the past year for merely the hauling, which cost about 75c per cu bic yard. Hereafter it will cost 30c. more as the owner wants pay for it. I htve-hld drilled a well, 43X feet, mostly through rock, ss the ground where I put it is only about six feet about water level. When drilled . through a very bard rock water raised 34 feet in the pipes. The drill was 2-inch inside of a 24 inch pipe. It coat everything included, $32. A large amount oi work nas oeen aone the past year for which no charge has been made; 680 graves turfed and 560 tombstones and monuments cleaned. This class of work is increasing and will in time require a large amount of labor. In some of the lots to-day are terror more monuments and headstones to be kept clean and graves returf ed. Tne past year 3,000 feet of fence has been repaired and 4.000 feet white washed. The stock consists or tnree mules, three carts and harness, one road roller and double set of harness, engine house and engine and rock crusher and the necessary tools, sum mer house, the lodge and furniture and tool house, stables and lime and bay house, 150 cubie yards or rock, ouu feet of grave stone, 1.000 brick, 5U0 feet pipe and the general working tools. I have saved four tons of hay. Mr. 8tevenson next made his report as president whicfi was verbal. He said it would be superfluous to attempt to add any thing to the two excellent reports just submitted ; all the active work was covered in them but he would say the policy of improvement. entered upon last year, had gone stead ily forward.. The work was being done in a very conservative way and the di rectors endorsed it No disaster had come to the Invested fund in 35 years, save the failure of the Bank of New Hanover and that involved less than $200. He feelingly announced the death of Mr. James H. Chadbourn, a mem ber of the Board of Directors, and paid a beautiful tribute to bis memory. Mr. Jacobi spoke upon the conclu sion of Mr. 8tevenson'a report and moved for a committee to draft suit able resolutions but he was informed that that painful duty had already been considered by the directors. 'Mr. Stevenson read the proposed amendments to the constitution, and hy authority of an act of the last Leg islature the name of the cemetery owners was changed in the charter from "proprietors of the Wilming ton tiemeterj" to the 'Oakdale Oeme-' $ery Company." The other change, Morning WILMINGTON, N. C, TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, li?ewise by authority of the Legisla ture, was made. It creates a Board of Trustees for the "Perpetual Agree ment Fund" and provides that the fuad shall be used in no other way than that of keeping the lots of those who have contributf d to the fund. The next business transacted was the re-election of Mr. J. O. Stevenson as president and the choosing of the fol lowing directors: OwenFennell, W. W. Yopp, W. H. Northrop, Hugh MacRaey J. L. Cantwell and W. H. Chadbourn, the last named being to succeed his brother, the lamented Mr. James H. Chadbourn. At a subsequent .meeting of the di rectors the re-election of Mr. Steven son was confirmed and Messrs. Rich ard j. Jones and Timothy Donlan were re-elected to the offices of secre tary and treasurer and superintendent, respectively. The re election of a Board of Trus tees for the "Perpetual Fund" was sug gested, but it was deemed expedient to postpone its choice until the next regularmeeting, which will be held on the grounds of the cemetery. Capt Northrop then read the ex pressions concerning Mr. Chadbourn's death which are published in another oolumn. Mr. Jones called attention to the singular coincidence that Mr. Chadbourn died on the 26th anniver sary of his first election as a director and that upon the day of his funeral, his cherished idea of a change in the perpetual care fund" was introduced into the constitution.

A number of the Wilmington Ma sons will leave to-day to attend the 115th annual communication of the Grand Lodge at Raleigh, beginning at 7:30 o'clock to-night The past year has been one of the moat successful the Masons of North Carolina have ever experienced. The report of Grand Secretary John C. Drnwry, shows that there are a total of 12,012 Masons in the State, which is an increase of over 400 in member ship Eight new lodges were organ ized last year, one revived i and four surrendered their charters. The num ber of lodges in the jurisdiction is 324. The number of initiations last year were 975, the number admitted 267, the number reinstated was 114, the number suspended 47, the number ex pelled 17, the number withdrawn 419 and the number died 206. Receipts from all sources were $7,647.55. of which $7,394.05 was from lodge duea and $100 being the bequest of Mrs. Rebecca Baird. In 1895, the total receipts of the ! Grand Lodge were $4,799.50; the total receipts this year, as shown above, are $7,647 55, or an increae in receipts of about 70 per cent At the time the number of Master Masons j in good standing in North Carolina was 9.824; now there is a total membership of 12.- 012, which is an increase of over 20 per cent DEATH OP A GOOD WOMAN. Mrs. SaQle Biernsa Qiletly Passed Away Sunday Morales After Snort IHaess. After an illness of only eight days with pneumonia, Mrs. Sallie Bier man, wife of Wilmington's esteemed townsman, , Mr. H. J. Bierman, died Sunday morning at 10:80 o'clock at the family residence, No. 412 North Third street The news of her taking-away is deeply de plored by a large circle of friends, at tracted to her by her genial disposition and sweet Christian character. During the first few days of her illness very strong hopes of her ultimate recovery were cherished, but complications of heart trouble set in and she died within a very short time. Mrs. Bierman was a consistent mem ber of St Andrews' Presbyterian church and always took an active interest in church work. She is survived by a sorrowing hus band, Mr. H. J. Bierman, three small children, four brothers and one sister: Mr. Willis Turlington, Of Bennetts ville, 8. 0.; Mr. W. B. Turlington, of Baltimore; Mr. E. E. Turlington, of New York; Mr. B. F. Turlington and Miss Jennie Turlington, of this city. The funeral will be conducted from St. Andrews' church to-day at 11 A. M. and the interment will be in Oak dale. UNIVERSITY BALL GAMES. Partial Schedule of Contests This Season. Very Brlfht Prospects. Much Wilmington interest always attends the University baseball games during the Summer and from the fact that Wilmington will have no sport of its own in this particular, most proba- blv this season, the interest will be even greater. From an esteemed correspon dent at Chapel Hill, the Stab bias re ceived the following partial schedule, which will be supplemented by games with the State colleges and two others with Virginia: ! March 24th and 25th, LaFeyette at Chapel Hill; 27th.

Held Proa St. Jaaes' Episcopal Cbach la the Presence of Many School In terests Represented and Expres prcsslons of Qreat Regret. In the presence of a large concourse of friends and relatives the order for the burial of the dead was impressive ly said over the remains of the late lamented James Harmon Chadbourn in St James' Episcopal church yester- terday morning at 11 o'clock, the ser vices having been conducted by the Rt Rev. Bishop A. A Watson, of the Eist Carolina Diocese, assisted by the Rev. Frederick H. T. Horefield, rector of the parish. Largely represented at the funeral were the school interests of the city with which Mr. Chadbourn was so long identified as chairman of Wil mington School Committee No 2. Out of respect to his memory and as a mark of appreciation of his unselfish and beautiful devotion to the work of education during his long and useful career, all the schools of the city sus pended exercises for the day and nearly all the teachers and a credit able number of pupils from every de partment were present to do him hon or. Included in the number were members of the faculty of the colored institutions; all gathered in the com mon purpose to show appreciation for duty faithfully performed. Many of the schools and a number of the classes sent beautiful floral tributes. The death of Mr. Chadbourn was feelingly announced at the High School upon the assembly of the students by Superintendent Blair, who paid a deserved and beautiful tribute to the deceased gentleman. Mr. Chadbourn being also closely in touch with the shipping interests of the port all the flags of the harbor craft were at half mast during the day and many of the marine men were in attendance upon the funeral. The Wilmington Compress and Warehouse Company, of which deceased was a director, was also closed out of respect to his memory. The Produce Exchange, of which he a member, was appropriately draped in mourning and many of the members attended the funeral in a body. The interment was in Oakdale cem etery immediately after the services at the church, and the pallbearers were t Honorary, Messrs. Junius Davis, James Sprunt B. G. Worth and R. J. Jones; active, Messrs. Geo. Kidder, W.R. Kenan, J. J. Blair, Donald Mac Rae, Jas. F. Post, 8amuel Northrop, Wm. Latimer and Henry 8avage. The Stab only briefly mentioned the death of Mr. Chadbourn Sunday morning on account of the lateness of the hour at which he died. Mr. Chad bourn waa born in Sanford, Maine, Nov. 6th, 1822, and was therefore in the eightieth year of his age. His par ents were Mr. George and Mrs. Ase. nath Chadbourn. In 1844 he came South and engaged in the turpentine business for three years at Shallotte, Brunswick county, N. C. In 1817 he came to Wilmington and resided here until bis death. For a lime he was engaged in the commission busi ness, but very soon he began in the lumber mill industry as senior mem ber of the firm of James H. Chad bourn & Co., in which he continued until his death. The mill is one of the argest in the South and is considered n the front rank of Wilmington's en terprises. The original members of the firm were Mr. Jas. EL Chadbourn and his brother, Mr. George Chadbourn. After the death of the latter ' his son, Mr. James H. Chadbourn, Jr., became a member of the firm, of which Mr. Wm. H. Chadbourn, brother of de ceased, ia also a member. In October, 1858, Mr. Chadbourn married Miss Mary Ann Bluxome, of Philadelphia, and she with three sons and one daughter survive bim and have the tenderest sympathy of num erous friends. They are Messrs. Jos. B., Charles C. Steven H. Chadbourn and Miss Serena Uhad bourn, all of this city. There are also surviving a brother. Mr. Wm. H. Chadbourn, of Wilming ton, and a sister, Mrs. John P. Galley, of Sanford, Me. In the death of Mr. Chadbourn, Wilmington loses a most estimable citizen and the family is deprived of a loving husband and father. His life was one of great usefulness to the community in which he lived. His character was above reproach, his business ability unquestioned and his motives pure and noble. In the edu cational field, the brightest side of his life was apparent He was devoted to the public schools of Wilmington and their present great efficiency is due in a large measure to his zealous work in their behalf. Only a short time ago, it was through his influences, conjoint ly with those of Mr. James F. Post, that the present High school building was given to the city and hundreds of other instances could be cited ex emplifying his superb work in this re- gard. Mr. Chadbourn was chairman of the Board of Commissioners of Navigation from 1888 to 1890. During that time he saved about $4,000 from fees, fines and licenses. Through his efforts the legislature passed an act guarding this money so thai the income from that source could be expended each month for the destitute widows and orphans of pilot. Thin charity fu-ad am prov Star 1902. ed and is still proving a wonderful blessing. -Wilmington has lost few such valu able citizens as Mr. Chadbourn and his place in the community will be ex ceedingly difficult to fill by another. COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD. Apportionment Is a Difficult Proposition. Recess Until To-nlfkt Petition to Remove Acorn Branch School. The County Board of Education, Col. W. A. Johnson, the chairman, and Capt Donald MacRae in .attend ance, held the regular meeting for January yesterday afternoon. The main purpose of the meeting was to apportion the school fund for the en suing six months, but the work was found so tedious tnat a recess had to be taken after 6 P. M , uqtil to-night at 8 o'clock when the apportionment will be completed. It is also probable that at the meet ing to-night a successor will be elect ed to the lamented James EL Chad bourn as member of the committee for Wilmington 8chool Distrist No 2. The two remaining members of the committee are Capt. W. R. Kenan and Mr. Samuel Northrop. The Board yesterday found time to hear a committee consisting of Messrs. F. J. Dempsey, W. F. Kerr, J. W. Murray and R. S. Murray, who peti tioned that the school house for whites in District No. 6. (Acorn Branch,) Cape Fear township, be removed to a more central location in the district It was pointed out that many children had to walk three or four- miles to reach the school, whereas a central location would make the distance more uniform f- ? all. The Board was very favorable :o the proposition of the commute, out look the matter under advisement for further investigation. The apportionment of the fund will ikely be concluded to night There is about $6,000 in the fund in excess of the amount available last year. The total fund is about $29,000. HIS DEATH DEPLORED. Directors of Oakdale Cemetery Company Adopted Fitting Tribote to Memory of Mr. James H. Cnadbonra. At the annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the Oakdale Cemetery Company last night, Capt W. EL Northrop read the following expres sion of regret at the removal from the Board of its valued member, the amented James H. Chadbourn, and the same was unanimously adopted by a rising vote: "The death of Mr. James H. Chad bourn. our friend and associate upon this Board of Directors, removes from our midst the oldest and one of ita most zealous members. Having- been a director for twenty-six years he never tired of its service though at times du ring the latter years it was a tax upon bis strength and convenience. The predominant traits which made him eminently successful as a man of affairs and marked him in our commu nity as among its most prominent citi zens, contributed to make him an in valuable member of this Board. "He way always on hand to the minute to fill every appointment He allowed no excuse to shield him from the burden of any duty or obligation incident to his office. His judgment was always with justice and modera tion. He approved with no ostenta tion. He differed with the most punc tilious courtesy. His modesty per vaded every act of his life and gave greater force to his opinions. "we mourn ms loss as sincere friends; we deplore the privation of bis counseL We tender to his loved ones our sincere sympathy. "lt is, therefore, ordered that as a mark of respect that a page in our records be dedicated to his memory, upon which shall be inscribed his name, date of birth and deatb, and these resolutions. It is also ordered that a copy of these resolutions be suitably prepared and a committee be appointed to convey them to his fam ily." Captain Northrop supplemented the reading of the expression with a beau tiful tribute to the life and character of the deceased, and, upon motion. the president appointed Mr. Richard J. Jones, Col. Jno. L Cantwell and Captain Northrop to prepare the same and transmit a copy to members of the family. The Evolution of a Olrl." Dr. William Edwin Hall's second appearance in the city to-night is stir ring such an interest as was never wit nessed before by any popular lecturer. His visit last March showed him to be ... . . .... a wit numonst and pnuosopner. People by the scores laughed, wept and paused from everything else to hear and see him. Ha has, so it is said, saved his best for to-night in "The Evolution of a Girl." It is a subject suited to Dr. Hall's taste and genius. After hearing him to-night one will say that he or she never knew what was in a woman's heart before. Tickets at Yates' and at the door. Place, First Baptist church lec ture room.
