MOR WILMINGTON, N. 0., FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 6. PASTOR RESIGNED. The Rev. Dr. Calvin S. Black- well Tendered His Resig nation Last Night. AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. He Will More Thas Likely Accept Call to Norfolk Work, Tendered Him Unso Imonsly Last Snsdsy Com mittee Considering Report. Immediately following the regular prayer meeting service in the lecture rotax of the First Baptist church last night, Rev. Dr. Calvin S. Blackwell, the beloved pastor of the congregation and one of the leading Baptist minis ters ia the entire State, tendered his resignation, as pastor, the same to take effect as early as possible. It had been known several days that Dr. Blackwell was considering a call to the pastor ate of tbe First Baptist church of Nor folk, Va., to succeed the Rev. E. B. Hatcher, who goes to a Baltimore church March 1st, but the large con gregation last night was -unprepared for tbe actual resignation, which it waa hoped would be withheld for a short time at least. It waa known, however, that th4re are strong ties which bind Dr. .Black- well to the Virginia city and that the call would likely be discussed at last night's meeting, hence the very large attendance. Dr. Blackwell was strong ly urged by everyone present to with drawn the resignation, at least tem porarily, but he did not then see his way clear to do so. The resignation was read by Mr. E. S. Lathrop, the clerk, as follows: Wilmington. N. C. Feb. 5. 1903. To the Executive Committee. Deacons and Members of the First Baptist Church: Brethren and Sisters in Christ I believe God calls a man Into the minis try of the Word and gives him a mes sage for a certain time, place, and peo ple. When that message is delivered, he should go and enter., or open another door of opportunity, disre garding the angulah of his own heart In the separation from a congenial place and a beloved people. - I am impressed that my message to you has been spoken. Another door opens and invites. I, therefore, ten der and ask you to accept my resigna tion as your pastor, and release me at a date as early as possible. Frater nally, Calvih 8. Blackwell. The Executive Committee, consist ing of fifteen leading members of the church, including the deacons and officers, was present and when the resignation had been tendered there were universal and touching expres sions of regret The Committee de cided to withhold an acceptance until anothefeonferenee which will be held Sunday night. A report will then be made to the regular congregational meeting Monday night following and de Quite action will be taken at that time. Should Dr. Blackwell decide to ac cept the Norfolk call, his departure from the city will be regarded as a public loss. Every denomination, class and condition of people in Wil mington will feel an individual sorrow at losing him. The Virginia field, however, is a promising one, and Dr. Blackwell being a native Virginian and Mrs. Blackwell's home being Nor folk, it will be a strong offer for him to refuse. The salary of the Norfolk church has been $1,500 per year, but in order to secure Dr. Blackwell that amount will be Increased to $3,000. . Y. M. C. A. NOTES OF INTEREST.

Southport Standard: "On Tuesday night, shortly after 9 o'clock, distress whistles were heard from Southport that came from just over tbe bar. Im mediately the tugs Alexander Jones and Blanche steamed and went oat to ascertain the cause and render assis tance. It terminated that the distress signals were from the tugs Tormenter and Bucanneer, which were towing a dredge and five scows, bound from Boston to Savannah. Two of the scows were leaking, and owing to the threatened condition of the weather sounded the distress signals for a pilot, who rendered the desired service, and brought them safely into port.

'Mr. Cone knew a number of men who worked in mills when they were twelve years old and are now useful citizens and superintendents of mills. They all especially urged that no legislation be enacted until the cotton mill interests are heard fully. With this idea in view, the committee adjourned to meet next Wednesday afternoon, , when a big delegation of mill men are to appear before the com mittee. Child labor bills now In the hands of the committee are: By Parker, of Wayne, providing that no child under 13 years be employed in a - factory and none under 14 after 1904, unless they can read and write, and the Durham bill introduced to-day, providing that no child under 13 be employed daring the public school term; that during 1903 no minor, who can't read and write, sball be employed after the school -term unless they attended school two weeks; In 1904 no minor, woo can't read and write, must naye been is school four weeks before they can be hired in factories and begin ning witn 1905 no cnlid snail be em ployed under 14 unless they attended school 75 per cent, of the term. .

The Wilkes county prohibition bill was made a special order for Friday J noon. - In the Senate the bill putting an end to the use of tbe Bible in administer ing oatha passed its final reading. Much time was devoted to the bill providing that bodies of persons dying in jails and public hospitals be distrib uted among medical schools for dis secting purposes, and it was finally re referred to the Committee on Public Health.

RAILROAD THIEVES IN LIMBO. Special Detective Scatboro aad Constable Chsdwlck Landed a Pair Yesterday. ' Constable M. OY Chadwick, of Cape Fear township, with the assistance of Railroad Detective H. T. Scarboro, yesterday landed a couple of bold thieves, who have been systematically stealing from cars of the Atlantic Coast Line at Castle Haynes and elsewhere. The negroes are Charles Sinclair and Walter. Williams, and they were ar raigned in .Justice MeGowsin's court yesterday afternoon,' Messrs. Davis & Davia appearing as attorneys for the prosecution.

TAR 1903 POSTOFFICE FIGURES. Increase ia Receipts at Wilming ton Exceeds That of Ra leigh and Savannah. A SURE SIGN OF PROSPERITY. Jsaaary's Showlaz ' Here Nearly $1,500 Better Than Same Month la 1902. About 170 Per Cent. Ahead of the Nelihboriai Cities. Under the flamboyant head-lines "Postoffiee Receipts Show Big In crease,'' the Savannah News exult- ingly exclaims: "The postoffiee receipts continue to show from month to month a large in crease over the receipts of the cone spouding months of the year, before. The report for January, made y ester flay, shows (hat, excluding the "busi ness of the money order department, there was a net increase over the same kind of business of January, 1903, of $500." ' Certainly, this ia a Very poor show ing for the big city of Savannah. Why, the postal receipts of Raleigh for January show an increase of $500 over those of the same month in 1903. And how is it with the city of Wil mington t For the month of January, 1903, the receipts show an Increase of $1,315.81 over the receipts for January,' 1903. In other words, the Increase in Wilmington Is about 170 per cent, larger than the increase in Savannah; and this, too, "excluding the business of the money order department.1' This is a very encouraging exhibit for Wilmington and is highly credit able to Miss Darby, the very capable and accommodating postmaster. It is universally admitted that the postal receipts of a city are a true in dex of prosperity and progress. They prove that trade is increasing in all departments. . Every citizen of Wil mington who is a close observer has. noticed a marked improvement in the business outlook here the put twelve months. And now comes the proof that our city is making rapid, progress In commercial importance. Should the rate of Increase for January continue throughout the year it will reach the sum of $16,119.78. THE HOSPITAL AMBULANCE POND. Three Snbscrlptloss Yesterdsy Oae Ac compaaled by Pathetic Story. With the hope that others, who have expressed verbally their inten tion to contribute to the fund, will hand in their amounts to-day and that all others will render what assistance they may deem -proper, the Star takes pleasure in acknowledging re ceipt of the following donations to a popular fund to be used in the pur chase of an hospital ambulance: Mrs. James F. Payne. $ 5 00 Mr. W. B. Cooper 5 00 Mr. M. a Willard 10 00 The contribution by Mrs. Payne represents the savings of pocket money by her sainted little son. Master Robert Fairfax Payne, whose tragic death, perhaps,;contributed to by un avoidable delay in getting the little sufferer to the hospital, Is still fresh In the memory of the community which was so saddened by his death. The pathetic circumstances accom panying this subscription should in spire tbe people of the city as one per son to rise and provide the much needed hospital auxiliary. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.
