The set programme included recita tions by Miss Florence Pearsall and music bv many others.

Spirits Turpentine, the Wonder Just Now of the Naval Stores World. TOBACCO COMMITTEE MET. Decided at Once Upon Orfanization of Compasy to Bnlld Warehouses, Stemmerles, Prize Hoase. Etc Local Shipping News. The spirits turpentine market is at tracting no end of attention on the local Exchange for its great under lying strength, which has, during the past few days, carried the price up at an amazingly rapid rate. Yesterday the dosing was firm at 531 cents, which is probably the. record for spirits at this season of the year. Late in the calendar year, when receipts are light and bulling the market is at tended by fewer difficultiep, dealers say the price of the article has been carried a little above its present level, but it has now probably broken all records in price ' for this period since the war. The current understanding is that the present production of spirits will be much less than lat year, hence the larger demand in anticipa tion of a shortage. The receipts at Wilmington have, however,- held up remarkably well, and the week ended yesterday showed an increase over last year in the ratio of 498 to 436 casks, while the gain for the crop year is about 500 casks. Bosin shows a big gain in receipts for the week, but a falling off of about 4,000 barrels dur ing the crop - year. There is also a slight falling off in tar, owing to the concentration of labor in the cross-tie industry, but in crude there is a slight increase. Crude turpentine for dip yesterday was quoted at $3 per barrel. The event of the day on the Cham ber of Commerce Exchange yesterday outside the range of markets and quo tations was the organization meeting at noon of the special committee of nine to which was referred the matter of establishing a tobacco market in this city.

The situ ation was again thoroughly canvassed and immediate action determined upon. A plan of organization was drawn up roughly and it was decided to call for subscriptions to a capital stock of $30,00& Each member of the committee took stock and divided themselves into sub-committee to look after further sucscriptions as fol lows: M. W. Jacob), L. B. Rogers and 8. P. McNair, south of Market street; W. E. Worth, B. F. Hal), and D. McEachern, between Market and Chesnut; Geo. O. Gay lord, W. B. Cooper and W. A. Raurk, north of Chesnut street The committee has under consideration a thoroughly desirable location for the warehouses, stemmeries, prize houses, stables, etc., and will secure options on other sites as soon as possible. A special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce will be held to-day, noon, to give expression to the regret upon the part of the businesss community at the contemplated departure of Capt Lucas in charge of the Corps of U. 8.

The New Hanover Superior Court for the trial of civil suits, After havfng been in session for two week?, adjourn ed at 12:30 o'clock yesterday and Judge Henry R. Bryan, who presided during the term, left in the afternoon for bis home at Newborn. Very little was accomplished during the time the court was in session. Five days of the first week were taken up in a hearing of the Penny damage suit, which resulted in a mistrial, and t wo days of the present week were de voted to the Hullen damage suit; the remainder to clearing the docket of unimportant matters, which for the most part, have been on the calen dar for a long time. Yesterday a greater portion of the closing session was taken up in hear ing argument on a rather unimpor tant matter on the motion docket in which Mrs. Agnes Thorns, of Ashe boro. N. C, sued for the recovery of about 200 cords of wood, cut by Sam uel 11. Jones from lands in Bruns wick county over which there is a con troversy. Messrs Meares. & Ruark and Herbert McCiammy, Esq , appeared for the plaintiff and Messrs. Bellamy & Bellamy for the defendant. Messrs. Bellamy & Bellamy made a motion to dismiss upon the ground that no copy of the affidavit, notice and undertaking had been served at the time of service of summons, nor until 30 days thereafter. Counsel for the plaintiff moved for judgment for want of an answer. This brought on legal complications that required no end of argument, but at length Judge Bryan dismissed the case and the mo tion of plaintiff was refused. The plaintiff thereupon appealed and the bond was fixed at $25. Forty days were allowed each party to file state ment of case on appeal and counter statement. Routine matters were disposed of as follows: W. T, Mercer vs. Mrs. L. M. Cook sey, judgment. Ida Cowan vs. Samuel Blossom et al., motion to dismiss on account of no bond having been filed ; continued, to be heard on Wednesday of next term. N. Jacobi vs. Gerritt Walker et al., judgment.

A steam heating system for coaches detached from the engines under the passenger shed at the Front street sta tion of the Atlantic Coast Line in this city, is being installed. The steam is conveyed to the shed by means of a 2 inch pipe, underground, from a sta tionary engine in the shops, and thence to the coaehes by means of a hose pipe. The engines attached to the coaches usually supply the steam, but oft times the engine is detained in the round house until just before leaving time and therefore passengers hereto fore have had a cold reception upon boarding the cars. Now this is obvi ated. The pipe also supplies steam to private coaches, which frequently re main under the shed all night Unless you register you cannot vote in the November election.
