A deliehtful church reception was
given lait night from 8:30 to 10:30
o'clock in the lecture room of St. An
drew's Presbyterian church by the la
dies of the congregation. It was largely
attended; especially by the newer
members of the congregation, and all
were most hospitably and charmingly
entertained. The room was tastefully
decorated for the event, and following
a programme of songs and recitations
the entertainment became of an infor
mal nature, and light refreshments
were served.
The set programme included recita
tions by Miss Florence Pearsall and
music bv many others. The sickness
of one participant in the exercises and
death in the family of another necessi
tated a curtailment of the programme
to some extent, but it was nevertheless
very much enjoyed

DAY'S MARKET NEWS.
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. Every member of the commit
tee except D. McEachern and W. A.
Rourk, were present as follows: Geo.
O. Gay lord, W. E. Worth, B. F. Hall,
L. B. Rogers, 8. P. McNair, W. B.
Cooper and M. W. Jacobi. 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.
Engineers here. A full attendance is
desired. There will' also be a meeting
of the Executive Committee for the
transaction of important business.

SUPERIOR COURT YESTERDAY.
Two Weeks' Term Adjourned After Trans
actioz Routine Business lacideat to
Motion Docket Wood Tronble.
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.

Court filed, affirming decision of

Heating System for Coaches.
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

event in every particular and augurs
still brighter things in the future for

Hal), the capable secretary. The lodge
was instituted July 30tb, 1892, by
Grand Master Jno. D. Bellamy with
68 members. As it was apart from the

been 285 initiations into the lodge
and it has sustained a loss of 99, leav

ing Hanover, although the youngest,,

life the lodge has sustained a loss of
24 members by withdrawal; 70 by sus
pension for non-payment of dues, one
for cause, three by expulsion, 10 have
died and two have renounced the
order, making 110 in all. Nine
members have been restored and there
have been two accessions by card.
Dues have been collected for assess
ments, degrees and other sources to
the amount of $8,465.32 and the dis
bursements have been $8,205.47, leav
ing a balance of $259.85. Donations
for relief are enumerated as follows :
Sick benefits, $1,673 49; nurses, $221;
general relief, $345.88; funeral benefit?,
for members $300; for members' wi vee,
$250. Total, $2,790.37.
Following Mr. Hall's excellent pre
sentation of the interesting statistics
there were impromptu remarks by
Messrs. S. H. Fishblate, N. Jacobi, J.
M. McGowan and others.
The celebration closed with delight
ful refreshments served to all by the
ladies of Letitia Lodge No. 3, Daugh
ters of Rebekah. The refreshments
consisted of ice cream, cake, fruits and
other delicacies, Berved in most ap
proved style.
