EDQAR BROCK BURKH1MER HAS ENTERED INTO REST. A Usefal aid admired Ufe Bronrbt to aa End Yesterday Afcoat Noon The Faseral This Moralnr. Badneea was brought to the hearts of many in Wilmington yesterday when it was known that Mr. Edgar Brock Burkhlmer ihad passed from thla life into the creat beyond. It waa hard to contemplate, and yet much harder to realize, that "Ed" Burkhlmer, whose ; congenial prea ence we had so often enjoyed and whoae heart and hand al ways went forth for aweet charity'a aake. had gone f or erer. And yet while our hearts went out in deepest sympathy tothelored one In this their great hour of dark ness there came consolation in the belief that aueh a useful and deroted life aa that of Ed" Burkhimer'a must surely reap a great reward from Him who deemed it best to call back the soul He gaye. The deceaaed had only been sick about ten days, but even that short time was sufficient . for the dreaded typhoid ferer to claim him. The end came yesterday just fifteen minutes past noon at the family residence, Na 114 North Fourth street. Edgar Brock Burkhlmer was born in Wilmington July 15th, 1863, and spent all of the almost thirty-nine years of his life at home. He married Miss Emma Pirer, to whom he made a tar ing husband. 8he, with a daughter eleren months old, is left to mourn his loss. He also learea a mother, lira. 8. V. Burkhlmer, three sisters, lira. A. Alligood and- Misses Haggle and Hat tie Burkhlmer, and two brothers. Messrs. W. L. and H. D. Burkhlmer. All are of this city except the last named. The deceaaed was a young man of many endearing qualities, the most prominent of which was his marked devotion to hia dear old mother. Hia life, to his family and to the public, was alike exemplary, and hia great host of friends Iored - him for his charming, unpretentious waya, and admired him for the manly, sterling character that was always his. In lodge work he was well and popular known and he was a member of Eyota Tribe No. 5, Improved Or der of Bed lien, Wilmington Lodge No. 139. Independent Order Odd Fellowa. Jeff Davis Council No. 63, Junior Order of United American Mechanics, Lire Oak Camp No. 6, Woodmen of the World, and the Electrical Wire Workers. Of the laat mentioned he waa one of the first presidents of the Wilmington branch, and had just been selected as Sachem of Eyota Tribe of Bed Men. The deceaaed will also be remember ed aa one of the moat active members of the old Atlantic Fire Engine Com pany, of which he waa for a long time first assistant foreman. Thla,of course, was before the day of our paid depart ment. About the same time he was one of the most valued members of the Wilmington Light Infantry. The deceased was chief Inspector for the Bell Telephone Company in this city and as such was highly thought of by hia employers. The funeral, which will be attended by all the lodges to which the deceaaed belonged, will take place this morn ing at 10:30 o'clock from Bt Andrew's Presbyterian church. A peculiarly sad feature of this death ia that it occurred within a year after the death of Mr. John Bnrkhlmer, a brother. LOCAL DOTS.

One White Msa and Several Netroes Were Tried for Various Offences The Oraad Jary Will Mske Their Report To-dsy. The present term of the Superior Court has about run its course. It will probably terminate by noon to day; at any rate it will end thla after noon. The docket, which was a small one, Is finished except for about three cases. The trial of these caaea and the report of the grand jury is all the business that remains. Yesterday's session was about as de-void of interest as the one Monday. No really important case waa tried. The morning session waa consumed in trying the three negroes, Ed. Hol land, Bobt. Hicks and Sam Long, Jr., charged with ahoplifting from the Gaylord Backet Store. Each of the defendants was convicted and aen-t-nced to 12 months on the roads. In the afternoon the only case to create interest was one of disorderly conduct against Mary L. Wolf, appeal ed from Justice Bornemann's court. This waa a case Instituted by a man named Hugh Owens, who now stands charged in Justice Bornemann's court with poisoning cats owned by Mary Wolf. The court reversed the decision . of the lower tribunal, thereby exonerat ing the defendant Another case of some interest was one of cruelty to animals against . a young white man named William Pig- ford. It was ahown that the accused a short time ago hired a horse from Mesara. Orrell & Carroll's stables and togeth er wltn several drunken comrades badly abused the animal by driving him about to exhaustion. He kept the horse a number of hours longer than bargained for and when one of the stablemen went after the animal he attempted to assault him with a knife. Pigford waa convicted, but the jury asked for mercy. He was then tried for an assault and again found guilty. However, in deference to the re quest of the jury and as it was shown that Pigford was subject to temporary strokes of paralysis, Judge Bryan only imposed a sentence of thirty daya in jail in one case and . auspended judg ment in the other. The negro house eervant, Lou John son, aont up from the police court for stealing jewelry, was convicted and given four motha in jail. Geo. Sheridan, colored, waa found not guilty of assault with a deadly, weapon and discharged. Ernest Brown, colored, plead guilty of attempting to assault his sweetheart with a knife and was fined $5 and costs. Court, shortly before 6 o'clock, took m mm A a 1 M a recess until :ou o ciocx mis morn ing;. LUM8ERT03 EXCURSION. Reache'the City Yesterday Moralaf and Spest tke Dsy. A bur excursion from Lumberton and intermediate points on the Sea board Air Line was with us all day yesterday and it was as nice a lot of jolly and clever visitors as ever put foot in Wilmington. The excursion train, consisting of six passenger coaches and a refresh ment car. arrived in the morning and left on the return trip last night short ly before 8 o'clock. The excursionists, nnmberine fully 350. spent most of the day at Wrightsrille Beach, taking a dip in Old Ocean and enjoying the de lightful sea breezes. Only a short while, just before "train time," was spent in the city. The excursion was run under tne management and personal direction of Dr. B. T. Allen and Mr. Frank ttougn and was a model one for good be havior and pleasure. These two clever gentlemen seem to know exactly how to conduct a successful excursion. A few of the visitors noted among the many were Mr. B. E. L. Prevett and family, Mr. L. . Whaley and wife, and Messrs. Gerald Pittman and John D. McMillan, Jr., Lumberton; Mr. N. A. Currie and family. Mr. V. L. Blue and family. Miss Ella Mo- Nair, Miss Annie Woo ten, Miss Cro- martle and Dr. Clark, Clarkton, and and Mr. S.A.L Johnson and family, Abbottsburg. A CHARMING AFFAIR.

Always Abresst of the Times Our Grocery men Jola the Soothers Association. A Splendid Co-operative Plsn. It now looks as though the whole sale grocerymen of the South will soon be operating together on a scale that will bring protection and a fur therance of their interest almost to perfection. Of course, the grocery men of Wilmington are right in the movement. Yesterday morning the Wholeaale Grocers' Association of this city held aa important meeting along this line. The meeting was called by Mr. J. Allen Taylor, the president, who pre sided, with Mr. James S. Hooper sec retary. The object of the meeting was to consider the advisability of the mem bers of the local association joining the Southern Association,- and to hear the views and Improved plan upon which it is proposed to conduct the greater society. Mr. James W. Lee, of Birmingham, Ala., addressed the meeting as a rep resentative of the Southern Associa tion and fully and satisfactorily ex plained the reorganized plan upon which that association proposes to work. He showed that it is the same plan that haa so successfully marked the associations of the Western and New England States. The member ship, he stated, haa already increased from 169 to 450 and that it waa safe to count on the roster numbering 600 out of a possible 750, and that when this membership mark was reached the Southern Association would be a power and would give splendid re sults for co-operating and building up of the trade. At the meeting were represented the J. C. Stevenson Co., Worth Company, Taylor Company, D. L. Gore Com pany, Adrian .Company, 8. P. McNair and Peter McQueen, and each of these firms became members of the associa tion. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Lee can vassed our other wholesale houses and obtained their membership. He left to-night for Raleigh. Mr. Lee is a business man of recog nized ability and is president of the Birmingham Wholesale Grocers' Asso ciation. A CORRECTION CORRECTFD. Mb. Editor In your paper of yes terday was printed an article aigned by H. McD. Kobinson and n. a. Sin clair. Esq a., which purported to be a correction of an error in the original reports aent out to the State press aa to the nominations made by our county (Cumberland) convention last Satur day for Associate Justices. Having stated that a mistake waa made in re porting the county unanimous for Connor and Walker, they proceed to give the actual facta (from their view point) and conclude wun me state ment that "each of the gentlemen named (Connor, Walker and Brown) is entitled to his proportionate part of Cumberland county, to-wit: Connor, 17-44, Walker, 14-44, and Brown, 13-44." The beat evidence of the ac tion of the convention on this ques tion is the minutes of the convention. The following extract ia taken from the minutes, which are duly signed by the chairman and two secretaries, to-wit: "The following nominations were then made for Associate Justices, to wit: Hon. EL G. Connor, by Z. B. Newton, Esq. ; Hon. George H. Brown, by H. McD. Robinson, Esq.; Hon. Piatt D. Walker, by . On a vote being taken by townships, the follow ing vote was received: Connor, 85; Walker, 70; Brown, 61. Whereupon, the Chair ruled that Messrs. Connor and Walker had received the highest rote and were endorsed by the conven tion." It was well understood by the con vention that the contest was between Connor and Brown for the eastern judgeship, the one receiving the high est rote to be declared, under the unit rule, the unanimous choice of the con vention for the Eastern judgeship, while under the same rule, Hon. Piatt D. Walker was declared the unani mous choice as the Western candidate. Now here is a simple proposition for my friends Robinson and Sinclair to solve, both of whom are expert math ematicians: How can a county conven tion, working under the unit rule, by a majority give its ananimoua endorse ment to a Congressional candidate. and then, by the same unit rule, when there are but two candidatea for Asso ciate Justice, to be named, divide the vote of the county between three can didatea for the same office!

IS LEAGUE SHAKY? Reports from Raleigh Indicate That Things Are Not Smooth. NO NEWS ABOUT WILMINGTON Still bunting for Some Towa to Take the Pranchlse Rain Prevented Gsmes at Ralelzh and Charlotte Qreensboro Beat Durham. From what can be learned up to the present there is no change in the base ball situation relative te the deceased Wilmington team. The following special to the Stab from Raleigh ahowa that everything ia still In statu quo : "There is no change in the baseball situation to-night Mr. R. C. Rivers haa been sent by President Busbee to Goldsboro and Wilson to see what these towns will do about taking the franchise. President Busbee is oat of the city to-night Fear is entertained by many here that the league is on the ragged edge. The fate of the Wil mington orphans will probably be' settled to-morrow. It is not believed that Wilson or Goldsboro will take hold. The are no further develop ments as to reorganizing as Wilming ton team." The Wilmington orphans as they are now "dubbed" did not play in Raleigh yesterday on account of rain. For the aame reason there was no game at Charlotte. The only game played was at Greensboro where the locals "shet ouf'.the Durham Bulls. The score was 6 to 0. The G. O. C. F. distinguished him self right on the start with Newborn . His work in center in Monday's game was spoken of as a feature and with two men out, he made a timely single, scoring two runs. He was also credit ed with a sacrifice.
