Every Member in Attendance Oeneral Meeting Called for Thursday to Still Farther Talk the Matter The Warehouse Is Feasible. At a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Committee on Industrial and Business Enterprises in the Ex change rooms on Princess street yes terday afternoon, Messrs. W. E. Worth and Geo. O. Gaylord, who were re cently appointed to -visit the tobacco aectlons of the State with a view of developing the industry in this terri tory, made a very interesting formal report in writing, which was supple mented verbally and by letters in such a manner as to leave no doubt of the desirability of a successful consumma tion of the venture in the minds of the committee, every member of which was in attendance. A motion was adopted, at the sug gestion of a member of the committee, that nothing further than the written report be given to the press for publi cation. It is learned, however, tht a special general meeting of the Cham ber will be held Thursday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, at which the report witn other documents will be submitted and still another special committee will ba asked to prosecute that matter. The report is as follows, and appropos of the same, attention is called to an inter esting article by Mr. Gaylord on tbe second page of the Stab to-day: Wilmington, N. C, Oct 14, 1802. Mr. M. W. Jacobi, Chairman Com mittee on Industrial and Business Enterprises, Wilmington, N. C. Dbab Sib: Your Committee would respectfully report that, in accordance with your instructions, we have visi ted Goldiboro and Kinstoo, viewed the tobacco warehouses, prize houses and stemmeries, and are fully impress ed with the belief, that Wilmington has as good advantages aseither, and in some respects better, for the estab lishing of this business; that it is purely a business proposition, and if taken hold of in earnest, with the necessary amount of capital, it can be made profitable to those taking stock in the warehouses, and of immense value to the community at large. The evidences of thrift at Goldsboro directly traceable to the sale of tobacco were numerous, and without excep tion, every merchant there with whom we talked was enthusiastic about it. At Kin s ton the transformation of the town within ten years is sufficient evi dence of the wealth producing power there is in the handling of tobacco. What was ten years ago an old field, is to day the busiest scenes of activity and the handsomest part of the city, representing investments exceeding a million dollars. We have studied the question as closely as we could, and are convinced from what we have seen that it is possible within seven or eight years, the length of time these two points have been tobacco markets, to make of Wilmington a greater market than either of them, and that it can be made profitable, to all concerned, from the start The average amount received by the producers of tobacco this year, in the sections visited, is about $100 per acre. Compare this with cotton at $15 per acre, and consider that it costs no more to produce one than the other. Respectfully, Wm. E. Wobth, Geo. O. Gaylobd. DEATH OP MR. W. L. PLAYER. Esteemed Citlzea of Pender Con my Passed Away Funeral Yesterdsy. Mr. W. L.

The funeral was held from the late residence, near Burgaw, yesterday and was attended by perhaps five hundred people. The . services were by Rev. D. P. McGeachy, of the Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. J. W. Mar tin, of the Methodist church. The flo ral tributes were many and exceed ingly handsome. Mr. A, W. Allen, of this city, was among those who at tended the funeral. The pall-bearers at the funeral were Messrs. Ai M. Bowden, J. H. Jordan, T. F. Johnson and M. Wood. Jndfe J. W. Harris Dead. News reached the city yesterday of the death of Judge James Walker Harris, which occurred about noon at his home in Cartersville, Ga., where he had been ill for only a short time with meningitis. Judge Harris mar ried Miss Annie DeRosset, a daughter of Capt A. L. DeRosset, of this city, and consequently more than ordinary regret is expressed at the death here.

C, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER DANIELS TO-MORROW NIGHT. Sale of Seats Berios at 7 O'clock This Moroiog MI8B Simplicity in Rich mood Monday Evening. The date for the appearance of "that inimitable pigmy of footlights," Frank Daniels," is almost here and as it ap proaches interest in the engagement Increases. He is to present hs new operatic comedy success, "Miss Sim plicity," at the Academy to-morrow night In spite of its modern atmos phere the ensemble of the new piece is said to be entirely picturesque. The locale is a small Zenda-like kingdom on the Continent, and the story is more or less of a satire on the Anthony Hope brand of romantic novel. It pro vides Daniels with a new sort of part to play. Wilmington will be the third city played in after Mr. Daniels' annual Baltimore engagement, which ended last Saturday, and which followed a week's engagement at Washington. The Richmond Dispatch yesterday said of "Miss Simplicity" in that city Monday night: A pigmy in statue, yet a veritable collossusin unction, is Frank Dan iels. He occupies ' a position on the American stage that id as unique as it is original. His versatility is unques tioned, his humor effervescent,' his wit infectuous. ' "That "Miss Simplicity" is the beat ehi.le he has had since he entered the realm of comic opera was mani fested at the Academy last night A right brilliant audience it was, too, that passed favorable judgment upon tbe comedian's work. Every musical number was a seem ing unmistakable hit, every witicism brought fourth an unmistakable laugh. Encorea were the rule, not tbe exception. Heartz, lyrics were catchy and in spiring, Bsrnet's book cleverly con ceived, and well manipulated. It al lowed the diminutive comedian wide range for interpretation, wide scope for individual work. As .to the plot there was none; who ever heard of a plot in a well-constructed comic opera; so Barnet fell into line, and did away with such an unnecessary aspendage. There was a score of pretty maidens in abbreviated skirts, and fluffy lin gerie. There was a well trained coterie of gaily coparisoned troopers, and, of course, a host of merry villagers; who ever heard of a comic opera without tne line, "Here come the merry, merry villagers." And they were all at the Academy last night; singing, dancing, and pirouetting on their toes in the public square in Sauteville. But these villagers I mean the fem inine portion of them were pretty, and knew how to sing and dance. Several of the musical numbers imme diately caught the fancy of the audi ence; among them "Some Do. Some Don't," "Roses Begin With R, Love," sung with a sort of Florodora sextette effect, and the "Girlie With the Baby 8tare." " Daniels' songs, "Don't Mind Me," "The 8unday School Boy" and "Ba bette," were particularly pleasing, and the words of the latter, written by Paul West, a New York newspaper man, were particularly happy. Tne opera was beautifully staged, the costumes were scintllating and the lights well managed. Fraak Daniels will close his engagement in this city this evening, and those who wish to enjoy an almost perfect presentation of latter-day, up-to-date comic opera will miss an opportunity if they do not see the comedian in his latest and greatest characterization, "My Man Blossoms." HON. R. B. QLENN TO-NIGHT. Will Speak in the Court House Other Possible Campslf n Appointments. Hon. R. B. Glenn, of Winston, will address tbe voters of New Hanover in the Court House to-night, and a large crowd should hear him.

Menhaden Catch Poor. The catch of menhaden for the "fish factories" down the river is said to be very poor in these waters this season. It is learned that one of the factories may not operate this season at all on accounts of the poor hauls. No rea son is assigned for the scarcity of "fat backs" but it is said to be phenomenal. Heretofore these waters every year have been teeming with the fish. TESTH SENATORIAL CONVENTION.

After having been out since 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon, ' the jury in the Superior Court to determine the issues in the case of Mrs. Meta H. Hullen against then City of Wilming ton at 10.15 o'cdocklast miistwrad a. verdict awarding the plaintiff $150 damage. Both the issues as to the defendant's liability and the plaintiff's contributory negligence were an swered in the affirmative, otherwise the. award of damages would have been larger. The issues and answers were as follows: Was tbe plaintiff's property injured by the negligeace of the defendant in grading Front street? "Yes " Did the plaintiff contribute to her injury by her own negligence? "Yes." What damage, if any, has plaintiff sustained? "$150." The jury was as follows: E. P. Owens, George W. Rogers, H. W. MasoD, Matt J. Heyer, A. B. Brower, D. M. Lehue, J. G. King, H. B. Tay lor, V. V. Richardson, T. E. Davis, J. B. Mercer and I. J. King. At first it was thought an agreement would not be reached during the night, but after supper at the Dixie Cafe, the jurors got down to work and at the hour named Col. Jno. D. Tay lor, Clerk of the Court, came down and received the verdict, which is construed to be something of a victory for both sides. The history of the case was given in these columns yesterday. The plaintiff sued for $1,500 damages, $300 rent for two years and interest, by reason of injury to her property at southeast corner of Front and Bruns wick streets by excavations made by the city or under its supervision prior to April 1897. The Superior Court has been engaged two whole days in a hearing of the cause. The hearing was resumed yesterday morning with the introduction by the defendant of the following witnesses: Mr. B. F. Hall, Col. Geo. L. Morton, Capt Jno. H. Hanby and Mr. W. A. McGowan. They each testified as to excavations by which it was alleged the property was injured and also the condition- of the building both be fore and after the grading. The evi dence was concluded shortly before the hour for the dinner recess and Geo. L. Peschau, Esq., addressed the jury in behalf of the plaintiff. City Attorney Bellamy was speaking for the defend ant when the recess for dinner was taken and he concluded upon the re assembling of court at 3 P. M. Herbert McOIammy, Esq., next presented the issues for the defendant and ex-Judge E. K. Bryan closed for the defendant city. Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy conclu ded the argument for the plaintiff and after a brief but (pointed charge by Judge Bryan, the jury retired with the result stated. To-day the court will enter upon a trial of the damage suit of J. W. Holmes against Drs. W. J. and L. H. Love, in which the plaintiff sues to recover several thousand dollars for al leged neglect of the defendants in not properly setting a broken arm several years ago. The plaintiff was a conduc tor on the Seaboard Air Line, and says that the condition in which his arm was left, incapacitates him for further very active service, wherefore he prays judgment He lived in Wil mington when he entered the suit, but now he' is at Monroe, N. O., and is employed as freight conductor by the S. A. L. Messrs. Meares & Ruark are. counsel for Mr. Holmes and Messrs. Davis & Davis for the defend ants. The other cases set for trial on the calendar to-day were continued several days ago, with the exception of that of the Sterling Cycle Works against M. P. Taylor, et al , which was compromised yesterday and judgment entered against the defendants in the sum of $500 and costs as per terms agreed upon. Non-suits were taken in three actions broueht by Walter L. Stanley, re ceiver, vs. L. B. Hess, et al., R. F. Gleave?, et al and E. P. Parker.
