much Interest in the contest as "W.
L. I. politics" hare been warmlnr up

Considering the fact that many of

splendid attendance and the enthusi

Cipt. Alex. P. Adrian was re-elected
Captain by a very handsome majority
and Mr. Geo. P. James waa chosen
First Lieutenant in a unanimous vote.
He waa formerly Becond Lieutenant
of the company. Mr. J. McBee Hatch.

tigstlag Body at Work.
The Superior Court was in session
only about an hour yesterday. The
court officers found it exceedingly
difficult to get witnesses in cases that
were ready for trial on account of the
more or less demoralized conditions.in-
cideat to the holiday, and Judge
Bryan ordered a recess until 9:30
o'clock this morning. It was origi
nally intended to hold a longer seaaioa
during the forenoon on account of the
large number of cases on the docket
and the fact that many of the defend
ants are in jail, but the holiday bad
the people and it was thought beat to
postpone further proceedings.
The grand jury was also in session
for a short while during the morning
but Foreman John J. Fowler experi
enced the same trouble in getting wit
nesses for that body and it was decided
to suspend until today, making the
sessions of the jury conform to those
of the court.
Only one case was disposed of dar
ing the morning and a jury selected
for another to be taken up first thing
to-day. It is an action brought
against a tenant in the vicinity of
Fourth and Castle streets, charged with
keeping a disoderly house.
The caae disposed of yeaterday was
that of Alvis Lewis, oolored, charged.
ith gambling. He had given bond
to appear at the present term but Wed
nesday he failed to answer and a ca.
pias was issued for him. He came
into court yesterday, submitted the
case and was fined $5 and required to
pay the coats, which he did.
Mr. A. D. Weasel!, who had been
summoned as a juror for the Superior
Court Wednesday and who had failed
to respond to the summons, came into
court and explained that he was a
juror in service at the Federal Court
and could not serve two masters, or
words to that effect. Mr, Weasell was
readily excused by Judge Bryan under
those circumstances.
The jury selected for trial of the first
. at fVa
case to-day is as ioiiows: jnas. a.
Johnson, Jno. S. Barnes, H. B. Bes

Horace M. Emerson, W. L. Parsley.
Geo. V. Harrell, George Grant, E. N.Penny.
The grand jury for the term will
likely remain in aeasion until the hour
of adjournment of the court. A num
ber of new matters, it is said, have
been nresented and the body is
known to be pursuing several inves
tigations started by former juries.
Whether the matters will be developed
at the preaent term or not appears to
be an open question.

Mr. John H. Sweeney, than whom
there is none with more of the essence
of human kindness in his bosom, was
master of ceremonies and the functions
of that position were discharged in a
captivating manner. A supper was

Wilmington Quests at "Airlle."
A large number of prominent society
young people oi wumingion were
guests last night at the . handsome
country place of Mr. and Mrs. Pem
broke Jones, on the Sound, upon the
occs8ion of an elaborate reception in
honor of Mr. William K. Yanderbilt
and other visitors from the North to
"Airlie." The Wilmington guests
left the city at 9 o'clock on a special
car of the Consolidated Bailways,
Light and Power Co., and returned

Burglar Frightened Off,
A burglar attempted to enter tbe
residence of Mrs. Jos. B. Everett,
Third between Nun and Church
streets, yeaterday morning about 5
o'clock. The intruder was a colored
man and was discovered by Mrs. Ker-

was coming through a window on the
second floor. Mrs. Kermon screamed
and the negro beat a hasty retreat.
Improvement to Bank Interior.
Improvements are being made to
the interior of the Atlantic National
Bank building, northwest corner of
Front and Princess streets. The work
was commenced yesterday while most
of the clerical force were taking holi
day, so as the business of the institu

as possible.
Thanksgiving Social.
The Social Circle of St. Paul's Epis
copal church gave a delightful enter
tainment last evening at the noma or
Mrs. Greenabaum. 218 South Second
street. There was a large numoer oi
guests in attendance and the many
features of entertainment were higmy
enjoyed.
tape Pear Links Were Thronged With
Devotees of the Game Services In
All the Churches Suspension
of Nesrly All Business.
Aside from the suspension of nearly
all lines of business and appropriate
services in the churches, Thanksgiving
in Wilmington yesterday was almost
featureless. There was a general
exodus of sportsmen to the field and
forest and hundreds of fishermen went
for a day's pleaaure to the many ex
cellent resorts In the vicinity , of Wil
mingtoo and all KturneTlasTnTght
apparently well satisfied with the re
sult of their outing.
Except for a high wind which pre
vailed in . he forenoon, the weather
conditions were well nigh per.'ect for
an ideal Thanksgiving. In the after
noon the wind ceased, the temperature
began to .fall and by evening the city
was experiencing its first real touch of
Winter. The atmosphere was crisp
and wraps and overcoats were de
cidedly comfortable.
Thanksgiving dinners and the gath
ering of households about the festive
boards were private features of the
holiday. There were many social en.
ter tain men ts of a private nature, but
otherwise the day bore more the ap
pearance of a Sunday than of a day of
recreation and pleasure. The services
in the churches were as elaborate as
usual and in many of the houses of
worship special offerings were received
for the orphans and poor of the vari
ous religious denominations.
On the Cape Fear Golf links there
was probably the most pronounced
outward observance of the day. The
occasion was the gentlemen's handicap
tournament, which lasted nearly all
day. The tournament was won by Mr.
John J. Blair with Mr. George Boun-
tree a rather close second. Tbe prize
offered was a handsome silver loving
cup and the trophy was presented to
Mr. Blair upon the conclusion of
the contest. The tournament was
for eighteen holes or twice around
the course. The first nine were
played in tbe morning and the
second nine in the afternoon. There
were very many guests on the grounds
during the day and the tournament
was the most successful ever given by
the club. Lunch was served in the
afternoon by the ladies in the club
house. The scores were as follows:

most prosperous condition in its his

THE COAL AND WOOD SUPPLY.
There is Still a Great Scarcity of Mate
rial for Heating The Causes.
The cold snap which came upon us
yesterday almost like a "thief in the
night" reminded a reporter to inter
view a number of dealers on the coal
and wood situation.
- The scarcity of fuel in the early Fall
was commented upon quite generally,
and the absence of the black combusti
ble on the local market was called to
the attention of consumers. It was
also given out that there was a great
scarcity in the wood supply, owing to
the concentration of labor up the river
In the cross-tie and pole industry.
Investigation yesterday disclosed
the fact that there is very little change
in the situation from early, Fall. No
coal of eonaequence has been received
since the termination of the strike and
wood up the river is equally as scarce
as it was six weeks ago. One dealer
stated yesterday that he had sent a
representative up the river to buy
wood but be had found that there waa
very little, if any, for sale even at an
advanced price. While the situation
is in no wise alarming' the public bad
just as well know that when an order
is given to his dealer, he needn't com
plain if he doesn't get lightning ser
vice and the best the market has here
tofore afforded. It simply is not here
and "any port in time of a storm' is
the maxim that
applies now.

Hani Bloodhounds
Special Star Correspondence.
Jonesbobo, N. C, Nov. 27. This
morning at 6;30 o'clock while tbe lo
cal freight train was at work at the
depot, Conductor McCullough went
up street to buy some eggs. He found
all the stores closed for Thanksgiving
except that of Watson & Gregory. He
found their door cracked and he push
ed it open, thinking'some one was on
the inside, but found that he was mis
taken. About that time he saw Mr.
Watson, of the firm, coming down
the street and asked if "he left his
store open last night." Mr. Watson
replied "No" and upon investigation
it was found that the place had been
broken open and the iron safe blown
all to pieces Everything of value in
the safe was taken, amounting to, be
tween $3,000 and $4,000, and includ
ing two one-thousand dollar North
Carolina bonds.
'Bloodhounds were placed on track
of the robbers and the trail followed to
Sanford, where it is presumed they
took the train bound North ; probably
a work train which left early in the
morning.
Search for the robbers is still being
made and it is hoped they will be cap
tured. This is the second time the
store has been broken open in the past
two years. Suspicion points to a
strange person who has been here for
several days. He was of heavy weight,
tall, about 175 pounds, light moustache
and red face. He wore overalls.
