It was durine; the early hours ot this
morning 'that the business j of the
eleventh annual m-eting of the State
Council, Jr. O U. A. M , was con
eluded and adj mroment was bad to
meet in 1903 at High Point. N. C.
Many delegates will leave on
to-day's trains for their respective
homes and it is believed that all of
them will cherish pleasant recollec
tions of Wilmington and the eater
prising citizen who compose the local
Council. The "Juniors" were found
to be a busy set of folks and there was
very little time foi the entertainment,
but what there was of it was of an ex
ceedingly hospitable nature and the
local committees deserve unstinted
praise for the excellent manner in
which they performed their every.
duty. ;
The session of the Council: yester
day morning opened at 9 o'clock and
continued until 1 P. tt.. State Coun
cillor a B. Webb, of Statesville, pre
siding. Minutes of the previous day's meet
ing were read and approved.
The special committee, consisting of
BL EL 8hore (chairman), O. V. Voils
and B. A. Baber, to whom the offijers'
annual statements were referred on
the preceding day, brought in a report
and same was accepted.
On motion of Junior Past Stale
Councilor B. 8. Nimsen, of Winston
Salem, a special committee was ap
pointt d. consisting of Geo. E. Hood,
of Golds boro, Charles Josey, of Ashe
ville, G. W. Bobbins, of Rocky
Mount, and B. S. Nissen, or Winston,
to present to Capt. Jno. W. Harper,
of the steamer Wilmington, a token
of the Council's appreciation of his
graceful generosity in placing his
splendid steamer at the disposal of the
visitors for an excursion down the
river and about the harbor. Fifteen
dollars was unanimously appropriated
out of he Council's funds for this
purpose, and yesterday afternoon,
while the "Juniors" and their friends
were eo joying the hospitalities of the
trip, the presentation of a handsome
cut-glass water set to Captain Harper
was madd in a neat little speech by
1 j r Geo. E Hood, to which the
gallant steamboat master replied in
words of warmest appreciation. The
presentation took Captain Harper un-
ware8 and was made in the Cibin of
tha Wilmington, in the presence of a
large number of the visiting brethren.
The remainder of the,mornicg ses
sion and a large part of the afternoon
session was taken up with a discussion
of the orphanage question .
Bar. J. C. Troy, of Durham, was
given the floor for 15 minutes to pre
sent the claims of Durham for the t a-
tabhahmont of the orphanage and also
to acquaint the "Juniors" with his ex
cellent paper, Trqjan'a Notion' Mr.
W. D. Gaster was granted a similar
privilege to present the claims of
Fayetteville for the orphange and in
the midst of a general discussion
which ensued, a recess for dinner was
taken at IP. M.
At the afternoon session the orphan
age question was agaih taken up and
there were a number of speeches by
different representatives in regard to
the subject A motion at length pre
vailed to lay4he matter on the table
indefinitely.
It was explained that already the
State Council is contributing about
$900 per year to the national Jr. O.
U. A. M. orphanage in Tiffin, Ohio,
and until this association can be
broken up, it was deemed advisable
not to decide to establish a 8tate in
stitution for the present at least North
Carolina Juniors, however, thus far
have derived no benefit from the Ohio
orphanage.
The election of officers was next en
tered upon and completed last night as

thejre was much merriment and speech
making at the table.
Bev. E. F. Sawyer, of Elisabeth
City, in behalf of Sute Councilor O
B. Webb, presented to Guilford Coun
cil No. S, of Greenabore, a handsome
bible. Guilford Council was the ban
ner organisation of the State under
Mr. Webb's administration and the
token was especially appropriate and
fitting in every respect The gift was
received in choice words by Bev. W.
H. Biach. State Chaplain, who is a
memder of that Council.
Councilor Wm. J. Bellamy, in be
half of Mr. J. T. Burke, of Jeff Davis
Council, this city, presented to Secre
tary Sam F. Vance a handsome alum
inum ink stand and pen holder.
neatly inlaid with silver, and in the
form of a crab a souvenir of Wil
mington. The clever secretary, who
has four times been elected to the posi
tion which he so acceptably fills, re
sponded in words befitting the senti
ment which prompted the testimonial
of his efficiency.
Sute Councilor Webb was called
upon to explain a joke which the
"Juniors" got on him aboard the boat
yesterday afternoon. Mr. Webb was
delegated by the committee in charge
of the gift to Captain Harper to go up
in the pilot house and inform him that
he was wanted in the cabin, where
the presenUtion was to Uke place.
Mr. Webb ascended the hurricane
deck and going to the window he
beckoned to CapUin Harper and said
to him that he would be glad to see
him below for a minute. Captain
Harper, knowing nothing of the com
mittee's intention, very naturally and
generously replied, "No, thank yon.
Mr. Webb, I never drink anything I"
The "boys" carried Mr. Webb high on
bis manner of approach to a gentle
man under the circumsUnces.
When the banqueting was over, tbe
Ubles were cleared away and the
Council settled down to business
again and carried things with a rush
until early this morning.
The decision to meet at High Point
next year was upon an inriution by
telegraph to SecreUry Vance from
Mayor J. J. Cox, of that city. The
delegation from High Point alao
worked faithfully that end.

BaLKiaa, N. 0., Feb. 19. General
T. F. Toon, Superintendent of Publio
Instruction, died suddenly at 10
o'clock this morning of heart failure.
brought on by a long and , severe
atUckof pneumonia. General Toon
had sufficiently recovered from his
illness to be able to walk about the
house and had been out driving once.
He got up to breakfast this morning
but was soon thereafter Uken witb
acute indigestion. Physicians were
quickly summoned and gave tempo
rary relief. General Toon remarked
that he was much better, but believed
he would lie down for awhile. He
had scarcely gotten his head on the
pillow when, his face became purple
and lif went out insUntly without
the least evidence of pain.
The Council of SUte was called to
gether at noon and resolutions were
adopted as follows:
Resolved. "Thut in the death of Gen.
Thomaa Fentress Toon, late Superin
tendent of Publio Instruction, we, his
associates in the executive department
of the Sute Government have lost a
wise and faitbrul counsellor and
friend, and the 8ute one of her most
careful and efficient officers. Brave in
war, loyal in peace, his heroic spirit is
at rest and North Carolina mourns
the loss of a noble aon.
"That we tender the relatives of the
deceased our deepest sympathy in their
great affl ction.
"Thai a copy of these resolutions be
sent to the family and also spread upon
tne minutes of the Council of Sute."
Gen. Toon's children were all noti
fied by wire of his death. All are ex
pected here to-morrow. Until they
come no arrangemenU as to the funeral
will be made. He will probably, how
ever, be buried in Baleigh.
The Council of 8ute asked that the
body be allowed to lia in sUte in the
rotunda of the Capitol, but the family
prefers that this be not done.
The news of General Toon's death
came to many friends in Wilmington
as a profound shock. He had frequent
ly visited here and numbered many of
Wilmington's eitis ns as his comrades
in arms during the Civil War. Last
Summer he was at WrighUville
Beach in attendance upon the Teach
ers' Assembly and haa several times
visited Wilmington in an official
capacity.
Thomas Fentress Toon was born in

to command of Johnston's North Car
olina Brigade. He followed the for
tunea of Lee, Jackson, Gordon, Early

ments, unless deterred by some of
the five wounds received In

son county and had been engaged in
teaching from 1891 uutil elected State
Superintendent of Publio Instruction
in 1900.
The Twentieth Regiment witb, which

panies or as a whole, was first su turn
ed aft Smithville, Fort Caswell and
Wilmington, until 1862. when it was

then by General Lee to watch the re
maining forces of McCIellan. The reg
iment next joined the army on the
march against Pope as soon as those
troops left Westover. In July or Au
gust Cen. Toon's command left for
the army of Northern Virginia and
was engaged in watching Porter and
holding his force In check while the
battle of Manassas was being fought
Lieutenant Colonel W. H. Toon
resigned his command February, 1863,
and upon his resignation Msj. N.
81ourh, Senior Captain Jno. 8.
Brooks and Capt T. F. Toon were
ordered before a Board of Examina
tion. Major Slough and Captain
Brooks waived their rights to promo
tion and requested the board to rec
ommend Captain Toon, which it aio.
General Toon was five times wound
edat Cold Harbor, Chancellorsville,
BnotUy Ivania, Petersburg and Seven
Pines. He was a gallant ' fighter and
remained true to the Confederacy
until his death.
General Toon was twice married and
by the first wife five children survive.
His second wife also survives him. He
also leaves two half-brothers. Messrs.
Archibald and A. F. Toon, both re
siding in Columbus county. Wil

Three Fires Yesterday.
!
The department responded to three
alarms yesterday. The first, at 10:15
o'clock from bax 52, was caused by the
burning out of a chimney at 610 South
Eighth street The second, at 12:46,
called out the department by an alarm
from box 35. A spar k from a chimney
in the residence at No. 906 Princess
street, occupied by F. B. Andrews,
caused a loss of $5. The alarm from
box 43 at 9:17 P. M. was on account of
fire on steps leading to the basement
of an unoccupied house belonging to
Miss Mary C. Darby, 223 South Second
street There was no damage. Chief
Schnibbea and the Fire Committee
desire to say to the people that in
many insUnces an alarm could be
avoided on account of the burninsr
out of a chimney, etc, if a little more
time was Uken and the telephone used
to call out the chemical ; engine. It is
a great expense to the city when the
entire department is called out for a
slight blaze.

Bev. E. F. Sawyer and Mr. Wesley
Williams, of Elisabeth City, did not
join the ranks of "Juniors" in the
city to attend the SUte Council meet
