Wealthy Real Estate Owner in
Wilmington and Resident
of New York.
DIED YESTERDAY MORNING.
Remains Sent Last Night to His Home
for Interment, Accompanied by His
j Neice Funeral Services by
Rev. Dr. A. D. McClnre.
Mr. James Wilson, of New York
perhaps the largest owner of renting
residence property in the city and re
puted to have been worth from $1,000,
000 to $3,000,000, died at the home of
Mrs. Sallie Greenabaum, Postoffice
Avenue, this city, yesterday morning
at 9:30 o'clock. Mr. Wilson suffered
a violent attack of cerebrltia early
Wednesday morning and he had been
gradually sinking since. He was 76
years of age and his death will be
heard of with very much regret by all
who knew him.
Deceased was a native of New York,
but came to Wilmington before the
Civil War and identified himself with
its business interests. At first he con
ducted a general hardware and a large
leather and saddlery business on
Water street In the store just south of
Heide & Co.'s present stand. About
the year 1869 he moved to No. 11
Market street and about three years
later sold out to Mr. N. Jacobi and de
voted his attention to buying, selling
and renting real estate. He had sev
eral times acquired large sums of
money by inheritance and invested it
all; judiciously, so that his returns
were large. During the years 1871,
1872 and 1873 he served the city as
mayor and represented New Hanover
one or more terms in the General As
sembly. About fifteen years ago he
sold out large real estate interests in
Chicago and reinvested the money in
New York. He was then very wealthy
and moved his residence to New York,
but retained practically all his proper
ty interests herf and made frequent
visits to Wilmington of a business na
ture. It was upon one of thee visits,
that he was suddenly stricken with
the disease which put an end to his
career.
Mr. Wilson was never married and
leaves of the immediate family only a
sister, Mrs. E. J. Napier, of Brooklyn.
He also leaves a neice, Mrs. Charlotte
McLeish, 1410 Q Street, Washington,
D. C, of whom Mr. Wilson was very
fond and who reached his bedside yes
terday morning a few minutes after
his death. He also has two nephews.

for interment in New York. The re
mains will be met at Washington this

THIRD NORTH CAROLINA
INFANTRY ASSOCIATION.
! Thirty-seventh Annua! Re-aoion Yester
day on Greenville Sound Election
of Ofiicers-Cspt. Metts' Report.
The Third North Carolina Infantry
Association, the oldest organization of
its kind on either the Confederate or
Federal side, held its thirty-seventh
i annual reunion yesterday, and it was
fraught with as much pleasure and
success as heretofore. Of course, each
succeeding: year finds the ranks of
this gallant band thinner, as one by
j one the old veterans answer the last
roll call and go to join their other
comrades in the great beyond; so yes
terday several of the beloved faces that
cheered the same occasion last year
were missed and the attendance was
consequently smaller.
The reunion was held at the resi
dence of Captain W. H. Northrop, on
Greenville Sound. The association
repaired there in vehicles in the morn
ing, after assembling as a body at the
Light Infantry Armory.
Shortly after arriving at Captain
Northrop's residence the annual ses
sion was held. The president Col. W.
L. DeBosset, thejsenior officer of the
regiment called the meeting to order,
and in doing so made a few appropri
ate and pleasant remarks, after which
regular routine business was trans
acted. ;
The most interesting feature was the
report made by Capt James I. Metts,
the Association's delegate to the
Dallas reunion. The report embraced
a fine description of Capt Metts' trip
and the manner in which he had per
fomred his duties. It was heard with
great pleasure by his comrades.
An election of officers resulted in an
admirable selection, as follows :
President Col. W.L. DeBosset.
Vice President Cant W. H.
Northrop. -
See. and Treas. Capt J. I. Metts.
Chaplain Bey. John B. Marshall.
The Bev. Mr. Marshall was elected
chaplain to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Bev. Geo. Patterson, D.
D., who had held the office since the
very incipiency of the Association.
Upon adjournment of the meeting
the old "Vets" feasted on a luscious
oyster roast, after which they spent an
hour or so "swapping" tales of the
long ago. Then came an elegant
dinner, for which the Association
graciously returned thanks to Mrs.
Northrop.
SONS OP VETERANS.
Annual Meeting and Election of Officers
Held Last Night.
Geo. Davis Camp, Sons of Confed
erate Veterans, held its annual meet
ing and election of officers last night
at the Wilmington Light Infantry
armory. The session, which was pre
sided over by Commander Walker
Taylor, was a mist interesting and
profitable one.
The election of officers resulted as
follows:
Commander J. VanB. Metts.
First Vice Commander Walker
Taylor.
Second Vice Commander Geo.
D.
Crow.
Third Vice Commander Jon.
O.
James.
Surgeon Dr, W..O. Galloway.
Adjutant Roger Moore.
Treasurer Paul Cntwell.
These officers constitute the execu
tive committee.
CoL Taylor declined re-election as
Commander.
A pleasant . feature of the meeting
was a fine talk on camp work by Bev.
Dr. Wells. The camp tendered him
a vote of thanks for his able Memorial
address.
CAROLINA YACHT CLUB.

Dickinson property was sold yesterday

The Horse Editor's "Pome"
Placed in
Cold storage.
Won one is still
emblazoned on
our banner.
How can we help
winning to-day.
What never?
Wanted a team to butt the Dur
ham Bulls off the bridge
The horse editor is "sad and : sick
at heart" But this is confidential.
Charlotte, 7; Raleigh, L What's
the matter with the so-called "pennant
winners?"
Hurry up and win a game, boys.
Our Spring poetry won't keep but one
day more. !
If we take a game to-day it will in
crease our winnings one hundred per
cent. Think of that will you?
How the Durham Bulls must have
bellowed as they tossed the Wilming
ton Giants (limited) Into the ethereal
blue.
Durham five bits, - Wilmington,
four; errors, two each. And still we
couldn't get a run. Yes, we are awful
still.
The way the Durham Bulls are
pawing and goring the Wilmington
Giants (limited) is enough to make an
angel weep.
If the Wilmington team is not re
inforced, as expected, by the time it
returns home we may as well file a
petition in bankruptcy.
Hven the fair rooterinas cast re
proachful glances at the H. E. as they
pass him on the street This is "the
most unkindest cut of all."
A movement has been inaugu
rated which, if successful, will make
the Wilmington team rise, phoenix
like, from the ashes of defeat and be
come one of the very strongest in the
State.
The horse editor has a Spring
"pome" based om the presumption
that -Wilmington would take one
out of three from Durham. It ia now
in cold storage, and is likely to re
main there.

And the kicking it was simply

they did not materially affect the re
sult and furnished no excuse for the

game i that would win under ordinary
circumstances, but bis team was not

Barley Ktin Hurt At Charlotte.
In the seventh inning of Thursday's
game at Charlotte Captain Kain of the
Raleigh team was stricken by a speedy
ball from Bishop that caused his retire
ment from the game and may result
seriously. The attending physician
fears Kain has received a serious in
jury. Soon after the blow was receiv
ed blood gushed from Kain's ear. This,
however, is thought to be the break
ing of an abscess that the Raleigh cap
tain nas complained or for some time.
Kain was taken to his hotel and is
receiving all needful attention.
