Special Star Telegram.
Fatkttiville, N. O., Sept. 17.
The spirited but friendly contest for
the organization and control of the
Democratic tCounty Convention yes
terday between the prohibition Demo
crats and the anti-prohibition Demo
crats resulted in an overwhelming
Tictory for the former, which the latter
accepted gracefully. The test of the
relative strength of the two factions
was the vote upon the adoption of the
majority report of the Committea on
Credential?, which resulted in a vote
of 185 for and S3 against adoption.
For chairman of the Convention, the
majority faction presented the name
of Hon. Geo. M. Rose, while the mi
nority presented Mr. J. H. Myrover.
The matter was decided in Committee,
and Mr. Rose was unanimously chosen
for permanent chairman, having been
called to preside temporarily over the
convention by Hon. H. L. Cook,
chairman of the County Executive
Oommitttee.
Both Messrs. Cook and Rose made
ringing speeches, which were cheered
to the echo. Interest centered chiefly
upon the nomination for Sheriff, for
which office five candidates were in
nomination, to-wit: W. 8. Cook,
(present incumbent), W. D. Oaster
and J. C. Thomson, of Cross Creek;
J. C. Adams, of Carvers Creek; and
W. H. Marsh, of Grays Creek. Sheriff
Cook led the vote on every ballot save
the last, when all the other candidates
dropped out of the race except Marsh
and Cook, this ballot resulting as fol
lows: Cook. 111. Marsh. 119. Mr.
Cook moved to make the nomination
of Mr. Marsh unanimous, which was
done amid loud cheering. Mr. Marsh.

nomination. Mnch interest was mani

Mr. J. D. McNeill, present incumbent,
was placed before the convention. The
only other candidate was Mr. James
M. Lamb. The result of the ballot as
announced by the chairman was Mc

NEWS OF THE WHARF
Fourth Steamer With Cotton
Cargo Cleared Yesterday
for Ghent.
THE HARD COAL SITUATION.
Prices Not So High Here is Represented
by Atlanta and Chnrleston-Tbe To
bacco Movement-Vessels That
Came Up and Went Down.
Wilmington's cotton business tMs
year is exciting the jealousy of mny
of her sister ports and ia proving a
source of much gratification to pu blic
spirited citizans here. The fourth
cargo of the season for foreign expirt
went forward yesterday on the Briah
steamer Roseioood, Capt. McGregor,
and consisted of 5,563 bales, valued at
$331,000. It is consigned by Messrs.
Sprunt & Son to parties in Ghent, Bel
gium. List year this timo only to
small vessels had been loaded and
cleared, and the third did not go for
ward until Sept. 23d. Five steamers
remain in port, and both compresses
are at work all day and a part of each
night in preparing cotton for loading
them. Two other steamers will reach
here from New York this week.
Cotton receipts yesterday were 3,339
bales against 511 on the same day last
year. - Most or it was from the South.
Sixty bales were from points on the
Cape Fear river via the steamer Hawes
aud 11 bales on the Franklin Pierce
were fromBrunswick county. The New
Tork future market was considera
bly strengthened yesterday but there
was no advance in local quotations.
The receipts at all United Slates
ports continue to climb.
It is reported from Charleston and
Atlanta that Wilmington is holding
anthracite coal at $10 per ton in view
of the strike. This is an error. While
Wilmington has no coal with which
to supply wholesale demands, her
dealers are content to sell what they
have on hand at $7.50 per ton to home
consumers, who are always advised to
take small quantities so that all may
be supplied. The price is an advance
of only fifty cents per ton. Charles
ton consumers are paying $3.50 and
Atlanta goes the Exposition City
about a dollar more. In bituminous
coal here there is no advance and the
supply is adequate. The price is $5.50
per ton. The supply of anthracite is
very limited as Intimated above and
Wilmington dealers have recently
turned down orders from Atlanta at as
high as $10. They simply haven't
got the combustible article in whole
sale quantities and can't get It until
the strike ends. The great demand for
anthracite, or any other coal for that
matter, does not come here until the
last of November and by that time, a
prominent dealer said yesterday, it is
probable the strike will have ended
and a plentiful supply will be forth
coming from the mines. The next
local supply of anthracite coal will
of course be higher, but no marked
advance is looked for in the bitumi
nous product.
In regard to the Merchants' Asso
ciation's having been the first to take
up the movement for the establishment
of a tobacco warehouse inWilmlngton,
it was stated on the floors of the
Chamber of Commerce Exchange yes
terday that President Chadbourn of
that body had been working on the
proposed enterprise for sometime; that
he did not give publicity to the fact
because he feared that procedure
would endanger the prospects of its
success. It is said that while Presi
dent Chadbourn is working for the
same object, he is going about
the matter in a different way
and that he will co-operate with
the Merchants' Association in its
effort along this line. The Merchants'
Association was thejirst, however, to
take the question up at a public meet
ing and act by the appointment of a
committee to further the enterprise.
Low water has again placed the ban
upon river steamboat traffic. The

up here waiting for water. The Hurt

cabin.
The schooner Merom, Capt. Soren
seo. cleared yesterday for Boston with
cargo of 16,920 cross-ties, consigned by
Flynn & Co. Messrs. Flynn & Co.
are expecting two other large schoon
ers for cross-ties next week.
The schooner Fred B. Balano, Capt.
Sawyer, arrived yesterday from New
York with a cargo of cement for Roger

WILMINGTON, N. C, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19.
NEW CITY STATION FOR
STEAMER WILMINGTON.
Old Wharf Has Been Oiven Over to the
New Owner and Another Secnred
ia Same Locality.
c
In line with the spirit of enterprise
and solicitude for the convenience of
his patrons that has always been charac
teristic of Capt. Jno. W. Harper, it is
announced that on and after Oct. 1st
thesteamers Wilmington and South
port will have a new wharf in this city
and thai very Boon there will be erected
thereon a handsome and convenient
two-story passenger and freight sta
tion. The si to of the new wharf Is next
north of the city dock at foot of Mar
ket street and yesterday work was
begun in laying new timbers for
the wharf and in making other im
provements to tte property in the way
of driving piling, etc. The old wharf
of Capt. Harper's steamers on the south
sido of Market dock was recently sold
to Capt. Walter Taf t, who will convert
it into other uses, but In the new lo
cation, which has been leased for a
term of years from the Calder & Brad
ley estate, Capt. Harper, will have
equally as an eligible location. It
fronU 100 feet on the river to the Cus
tom House property and when the
building is completed, there will
be nothing wanting. The first floor
of the station will be used for freight,
etc., and the second floor will be a
waiting room, an accommodation
which could not be provided for a
number of reasons at the old location.
The pile driver Dandy, belonging
to the Diamond Steamboat and Wreck
iog Co., began work on the improve
ments to the new wharf yesterday.
"INDEPENDENTS" ARE ACTIVE.
They Are Said to Be Having No End of
Trouble in Arranging a Ticket.
The "Independents" are especially
active just now in trying to arrange a
county and legislative ticket in New
Hanover to oppose the regular Demo
cratic nominees. Several gentlemen
were "approached" yesterday and
asked to take places on the "Inde
pendent" slate, but none so far as a re
porter could learn were willing to sac
rifice themselves on the Pritchard
altar.
Among those approached were Mr.
Samuel Northrop, whom they desired
to nominate for sheriff, and Mr. W.
E. Worth, upon whom they desired
to bestow the county treasurership.
Both of these gentlemen are reported
to have'answered that they went into
the regular Democratic primaries'and
proposed to abide the result.
But the moat important considera
tion appears to be given by the "In
dependents" to the legislative ticket,
as it is especially desirable that a
goodly number of Republicans and
"Independents" Bhall be on hand
when the election of a successor to
Sanator Pritchard comes up in the
next Legislature. It i. understood
that the leaders have ample provision
for this branch of the ticket, but they
are having no end of trouble with the
county party of it
Mr. J. M. Forshee is prominently
spoken of as the leader of the move
ment and in Collector of Customs
Keith he is said to have his chief ad
viser. CAPTAIN CASSIDY IN PORT.
Former Wllmlngtonlin la Handsome Lit
tie Yacht Bound South.
The smart little steam yacht Hornet,
belonging to George L. Carnegie, of
New York, a nephew of the famous
benefactor, Andrew Carnegie, arrived
in port yesterday en route to Jackson
ville, Fla. She came to make a few
repairs, which are being looked after
by Mr. E. P. Bailey, and will proceed
in a day or two.
The yacht is in charge of Capt. H.
C. Cassidy, a former Wilmingtonian,
who resided here until 1879, but who
had not vlslted:his old "home" In 17
years until he came last May in the
yacht Wissoe, bslonglng to the same
owner, which has since been sold.
Capt. Cassidy's many friends are glad
to welcome him again, and none were
more eordial in their greeting than an
old family servant, who called upon him
yesterday while a reporter was look
ing over his trim little craft. Capt. Cas
sidy is an uncle of Wilmington's es
teemed citizens, Messrs. J. O. and W.
C. Munds.
Portrait of Mr. Walker.
It is learned that Mrs. D. H. Lippitt
harcompleted the handsome oil por
trait of the late James Walker, which
the Board of Managers will hang in
the splendid new hospital, which the
deceased gentleman so magnanimous
ly donated to the city and county and
which bears his name. The fact that
Mrs. Lippitt executed the portrait Is
sufficient guarantee of Its e xcellence.
The order for the portrait was given by
the Board of Managers several months
ago.
Wllffllagtonius Lost Baggage.
News reached the city yesterday that
the Hotel Llthla, at Wilkesboro, N.
Q, at which a number of Wilmington
people were guests, was burned
Wednesday night. Most of the guests
lost a portion of their baggage. Among
the Wilmingtonians at the hotel were
Mrs. John 8. Armstrong and daugh
ters, Misses Olive and Beulah, Miss
Mary Borden, Miss Carrie Wright,
Miss Kate Harlowe and Mrs. George
D. Parsley and family.
Hon. Geo. M. Rose, of Fay
etteville, was here yesterday.
THEATRE OPENING.
Auspicious Beginning of What
Promises a Notable Season
at Local Play House.
THE BILL, "HUMAN HEARTS."
Initial Attraction Greeted by an Immense
Audience The New Improvements
and Executive Staff of the
Academy of Music.
The Academy of Musitf had a moat
auspicious opening last evening under
the new management in a capital pro
duction by a splendid company of
W. E. Nankeville's beautiful idyl of
the Arkansas hillr, "Human Hearts,"
a melo-drama of several successful sea
sous.
The play is strong in thrilling situa
tions and possesses a well defined plot,
which entertainingly tells the story of
huoian passion, love, infidelity, dis
honor, shame and death.
Mr. Sullivan, ai Tom Logan, In the
leading role was all that could be de
sired and the other members of the
company ably carried thir ptrts
Little Master Percy was a prime favor
ite as Grace Logan and came in for a
liberal share of the almost continuous
applause. Mr. Bert Hart as Jem Mason
and Mr. Alf Helton as Moses Jones
were likewise greatly appreciated.
It is needles to say the performance
was well received by the large audi
ence, which almost taxed the seating
capacity of the theatre.
Prof. O. W. Hollowbush's splendid
orchestra, which has been engaged for
the season, proved a "long felt want
supplied," to use a slightly thread
bare expression, and it is safe to say
that excellent organization will prove
a drawing card in the future.
The Academy of Music starts out the
new season much improved in appear
ance and convenience to patronr.
These have been noted from time to
time in the city papers and were
agreeable if not wholly a surprise last
night. Messrs. Cowan Bros., the
managers, have a clever corps of as
sistants and they started off last night
without a hitch or the slightest confu
sion. idr. Jake L. Solomon is in
charge of the box office; the door-ten
der is Mr. Jno. W. Blomme; Mr. W.
G. Hill is chief usher; Mr. W. B. Sav
age, electrician; and the stage is
managed by Mr. J. D. Mote. The
new management and the ini
tlal attraction came in for their
share of much enthusiastic com
ment by the large crowd last
light. The standard set is a high one,
and the management promises to keep
it up during the season.
The next attraction is the Black
Patti Troubadours, which come this
year larger and better than ever before
for matinee and night performances
on Monday, Sept. 29th.
During October there will be a no
table galaxy of high class produc
tions, which come thick and fast. It
will, doubtless, be the banner theatri
cal month of the year.
Long Distance Telephone.
The Pender Chronicle, of Burgaw,
says this week: "The Southern Bell
Long Distance Telephone and Tele
graph Co. are rapidly installing
'phones along their connecting lines
between Raleigh and Wilmington.
Mr. N. O. Wood placed a 'phone at
Rocky Point yesterday, and arrived in
town last evening and placed a toll
office in the dry goods department of
the firm of W. B. Croom & Bro. We
will have communication with all
points North and South within fifteen
days, by way of Raleigh. The line
towards Wilmington will not be com
pleted for some time on account of
some difficulty with reference to the
right of way over a narrow strip of
land."
Real Estate Transfers.
By deeds filed for record yesterday
D. L. Gore and wife transferred to
O. C. Harries and wife, for $750, lot
on north side of iHanover between
Firth and Sixth streets, 54x104 feet
more or less ; and Samuel Northrop
and wife et a), transferred to Mrs.
Robert H. Northrop for $150, lot on
east aide of Eighth between Harnett
and Swann streets, 33x50 feet in size.
Mayor's Court Yesterday.
In the police court yesterday Willie
Melvin, a Laurinburg negroj was held
for the higher court on a charge of
carrying concealed weapons. He gave
bond in the sum of $35, with Jno. H.
Gore, Jr., Esq , as surety. The only
other case of Importance was that of a
Greek, with a name as long as your
arm. He was fined $10 for being
drunk and disorderly.
