It Went Rushing Through the General Assembly at the Very Last Moment. OTHER LOCAL MEASURES. Chief of Police Remains Elective by Alder menThe Castle Haynes' Perry Liquor License for Resort Hotels. Harbor Master's Powers. Special Star Telegram. . . Raleigh, N. O.. March 9. This moraine In the House of Representa Uvea, Morton moved to recall from the conference committee the Wilmiog ton charter bill, stating that he had been unable to get the Senate commit tee to meet with the House committee to act on the Benate amendment. The motion carried, the bill was placed on the calendar and passed, with -that section as to the election of Chief of Police by the people eliminated. The bill was subsequently enrolled and ratified. Morton stated his action in calling up and putting the bill through with Bellamy's amendment was solely to avert the possibility of the present Board of Aldermen's holding over. The bill as passed fixes the city elec tions for Tuesday after the first Mon day in May in accordance with the general election law. The bill as it passed ia as follows: A bill to be entitled on act lo amend the charter of the city of Wilmington. The General Assembly of North Car olina do enact: Section 1. That the time of hold ing city elections in Wilmington shall be on Tuesday after the first Monday in May, 1903, and biennially there after. Bsc. 2. That the present city offi cials, officers and employes shall bold office until the day following the first election specified in section one of this act, and their successors shall hold office for two years. Heo. 3. That all laws ana clauses oi laws in conflict with this act are here by repealed. dec. 4. That this act snail D0 in effect from and after its ratification. Section 3 in the original bill as pro moted by Morton, but later stricken out by agreement, was as follows: "3ection 3. That Chapter 265 of the Private Laws of 1901, be and the same is hereby repealed." That was the clause over which the controversy arose and which came dangerously near defeating the entire measure. It provides for the election of Chief of Police by the people in stead of 4y the Board of Aldermen, as now. Morton also had passed through the House to-day a bill Jo give the New Hanover commissioners concurrent authority with Pender commissioners over Blossom's ferry on the Cape Fear river at Castle Haynes, but it failed to get through the Senate, dying on the calendar. Bills of special local interest in Wil mington ratified to-day were: To pay the claim of Mrs. Virginia E. Bunting under direct land tax; bill conferring police powers on the Harbor Master of the port of Wilmington; bill to allow Summer and Winter resort hotels in New Hanover to procure bar-room licenses for their seasons-on payment of six months' tax.

Chadwick, keeper of the County Home, received a terribly bruised hand as the result of a fall from moving train at Bargaw last week. Mr. Chadwick was a witness in the Cane Fear lumber case on trial at Bur- gaw, and being anxious to get home at night, he ran for the cars and attempt- : to .board the train as it was leaving the station. He was thrown violently the eround. but finally the train stopped and the conductor took him aboard. It was a very close call. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. ' - Academy "Bound by an oath." ; WiL Sewerage Co.

Atlantic Coast Line Give George Goold tad Party a Mile In Flllythree Seconds To Dinner. Hurrying to New York lo keep a dinner engagement, says the Savan nah News of yesterday, George Gould, James H. Hyde and a party of friends on a special train that cost $1,500, broke all railroad records for the South and probably ihe country in a run over the Atlantic Coast Line from Jacksonville to Savannah yesterday afternoon. "Everything was sidetracked, even the Atlantic Coast Line's New York and Florida Special and the Southern's Palm Litmited, and a straight run, witn only necessary stops, and mighty few of these, was made. 'The distance is 172 miles, and it was made In 152 min utes. The average running: time for the entire distance was a mile in 52 seconds. At one stretch of road, that bet wees- Walthdurville and-McIatosh, seven miles were made in four min utes. "Ihe train consisted" of George Gould's two private cars of the Mis souri Pacific Railway, the "Bay Shore" and the "Strannear," on which, in all, there was a party of some twenty-five - persons, among them being Mrs. Gould and her children, and an Atlantic Coast Line combina tion car. The train was drawn by Engine No. 271, in charge of Conduc tor Ed Leake and was in care of Con ductor McCroan. "The Gould party which was at Palm Beach had intended going North, it is atated, on the Atlantic Coast Line train No. 32, which left Jacksonville at 8:35 o'clock, but find ing that they had missed that train immediately requested a special, with intention, it is understood of trying to overtake No. 32, an effort that they proposed making, despite the fact that No. 32 had some six hours start of the special. "Money was no object with the party, and so arrangements were quickly made with the railroad to give them a special train, a clear track, one of their best engines and an engineer that wasn't afraid to 'let her out.' "They got what they wanted from Jacksonville to Savannah, and if they get anything like it the remainder of the way it is expected that they have overtaken No. 32 about Weldon, N. u. it's a good thing, the travellers weren't looking for scenery along the route; they wouldn't have seen it for the landscape as the train flew along making new records for every mile, appeared nothing but a blur of green and Drown." Dellihtfal Lodje Affair." The special communication of Orient Lodge No. 395, A. F. & A. M. for work in the aublime degree of Master Mason last night was the occasion of a delightful social affair which was at tended by many. An elaborate pro gramme of interesting events was fol lowed by a sumptuous banquet. The music was by the Orient Lodge quar tette, composed as follows: Mr. Ed. Harding Munson, director; Mr. CLH. Cooper, first tenor; Mr. Chas. McMil lan, second tenor; Mr.U. M. Robinson, nrst bass; Mr. ll. Holden, second bass; Mr. Burdis Anderson, baritone.

PRESENTS FOR THE OFFICERS. Public Appropriations and Their DIstrlbn tIonDiviae School Fand$10,000for St. Lonls Exposition Speaker Qattls Says Parting Word. Special Star Telegram. . : Raleigh, N. C, March 9. -The General Assembly of North Carolina adjourned at 2 o'clock this afternoon, having been in - session since aooty January 7th. The closing scenes were, as usual, characterized by alternate sea sons p! Lhard work' and levity. Espe cTaliy didlhe House Indulge in a merry round of jovial speeches of a personal ard general character and join ever aod anon In patriotic, comic, social and sacred songs.' The Senate main tained a more dignified ' mien, but a goodly choir of Senators, not to be outdone or rather out-sung by the House, gathered in the lobby back of the Speaker's desk and sang ''Caro lina," "God be with you till we meet again" and numerous other songs, the ladies in the galleries joining right heartily. In the House a splendid case of sil ver was presented to Speaker Gattis, the speech being a most eloquent one by Hon. R. A. Doughton, of Alle ghany. Also, presents were made to the chief clerk, doorkeeper and others. The last roll call was answered by 75 members of the House and 40 Sena tors. A bill was introduced, it passed both branchea and was ratified, prescribing the following distribution of the $300,- 000 bond issue provided for: $304,500 in notes and interest due the Park Nttional Bank, or New York; $48,786 in notes to the Raleigh Savings Bank; $7,000 to the State Hospital at Morgan ton; $5,000 to the Deaf and Dumb school at Morgan ton; $5,000 to the Geological Survey; $4,760 to the State Hospital at Raleigh; $10,000 to the School for the Blind at Raleigh; $6,000 for tbeBtate University: $854 to the Bute Normal and Industrial College. The Senate devoted over two hours to a vigorous and attimes bitter fight on the feature of the appropriations bill which required the $10,000 appro priation to the A. and M. College to be paid for the first year out of the Trea sury instead of out of the funds of the State Board of Agriculture. The con tention In the Benate was that the en tire appropriation should be paid by the Board of Agriculture. The roll call ballot on accepting the report of the conference committee agreeing to the payment of tne $10,000 from the State Treasury, was a tie, 20 to 20, and Presi dent Turner cast his vote for concur rence, thereby closing tho.flght. Senators Glean and Lamb filed their protests. Agreement was necessary to perfect the enactment of the general appropriations bill, carrying $1,050.- 000 appropriations to the State institu tions. A bill passed and was ratified appro priating $10,000 from the State Trea sury, not otherwise appropriated, to the St. Louis exposition. Also, a bill creating a commission to represent the State at the Exposition. in the House, King. of Put, called up his bill for a constitutional amendment for the division of the school fund paid by the races, urging that it should pass. It was tabled and King entered his pro test on the journal. A. bill was introduced, passed and ratified to regulate employes of future Legislatures. It provides eleven pages for the House aod seven for the Sen ate; twelre laborers for the House and tea for the Senate. When the Senate hour for adjourn ment had arrived the doors between the Senate and House swung open so the Speaker of the House and Presi dent of the Senate faced each other and Speaker Gattls of the House said: "The work of this General Assem bly is now done. For sixty days we have labored faithfully for what we conceived to be the best Interest of all the people of our beloved State. As the presiding officer of this House, I have had opportunity to observe with care the works and actions of its mem bers and I am glad to say that I have seen nothing said or done which did not in my judgment proceed from a sincere and honest desire to advance the best interests of the State. We commit our work to the fair and just consideration of those who have con fided to us their political interests. It affords me great pleasure at this last closing hour of the session to say that In the discharge or tne duties oi pre siding officer. I have had the kind and considerate support of every member of this body. No incident mars the memory of your association. There has at all times prevailed deference and courtesy among the members. I am sure that without regard to party or political differences, we separate with none but kindly sentiments one to the other. ' "It is a cause for great thankfulness that we have had so little sickness and that the hand of death has not been laid upon any member or employe of this General Assembly. 4 In accordance with the joint reso lution of the two bouser, I do hereby declare this house ad journed sine die." Immediately thereafter the gavel of President Turner fell in the Senate as he declared that branch of the Senate also adjourned without a day. Many members left on the after noon and evening trains for their homes. The Garlands in Hard Lack. The British steamer Garlands, Cap tain Doherty, which cleared Saturday for Glasgow, Scotland, with a Cargo of gum logs, appears to be pursued by 111 luck. On her way to Wilmington a few weeks ago she went ashore at Big Klnnakeet, N. 0., and had to put back for repairs. Arriving here a log slipped from the derrick used in load ing her and jabbed a hole in her water copartments; a, part of her crew de serted laterr and Saturday night ahe went ashore In the river near the 'dram tree." At 6 o'clock yesterday morning she was floated without dam age, but she had proceeded only a mile further down when she again went aground. The tnga Jones and Blanche expected to get her off and proceed with her down the river last night. . RECORD OF THE LEGISLATURE Trifle Behind In Nomber of .

Candidates Avowed and Spoken of by Their Friends Lively Contest Ex pectedElection Hearty Two Months Distant, However. Now that the General Assembly has fixed,-beyond the possibility of a doubt, the date for the forthcoming city election on Tuesday, May 5th, the Jocal municipal campaign is as suming definite 'shape, and there are said to be some lively times ahead for J those with a turn for poetical affairs. uny Attorney wiuiam J. tseuamy and Alderman E. Fj Johnson, who hurried to Raleigh Saturday evening as the result of an informal confer ence with members of the Board of Aldermen,- who were shown private telegrams from Raleigh that the city charter amendment act would likely die in committee, returned last even ing, having accomplished the object of their mission. They found the bill, definitely fixing the date of the elec tion, in the hands of a conference committee with apparently little hope of its ever seeing the light of day again, as the House had stoutly "sat down upon" tne proposition to accept tne Senate amendment, striking out the section making the election of chief of police by the people. It had previous ly passed the House in its full form and had passed the Senate with the chief of police section eliminated. Concurrence by both houses was necesr sary to Ui-h mil's becoming law and what was to be done, had to be "done quickly," or words to that effect. Messrs. Jobs son aod Bellamy at once got a conference with Representative Morton andjSenator Bellamy and they explained to those gentlemen what a predicament the city would be in as to the date of Us election, if something definite was not made law. Telegrams from private citizens of Wilmington were received which asked that the charter bill be passed, leaving out the section making chief of police elective by the people, and under those cir cumstances ' Representative Morton waived the section over which there wasr controversy and the balance of tbe bill went through in a jiffy. Candidates for mayor and Other city offices are now expected to pop out like buds in spring time and before 1 the end of the week it is expected that political lines will be pretty closely drawn. The avowed candidates for thermayoraliy thus far are Col. A. M. Waddell, the present incumbent; Mr. W. K Springer, Mr. S. H. Fishblate, Mr. E. F. Johnson and possibly others. Names mentioned ' in the . mayoralty connection by their friends are Mr. John J. Fowler, Mr. W. B. Cooper, who would r represent the anti-liquor element, and Mr. M. S. Willard, whom It is said the wharf interests will sup port. A few days before the election a pri mary is to be held and upon that day the real contest will came, for it hard ly supposed that the Republicans will put out a ticket. That everything may be arranged, for the primary a meeting of the City Democratic - Executive Committee will be held at the City Hall to-night at 8 o'clock. The committee is composed as fol lows: First ward. J. M. Woolard, B. C Moore; second ward, T. O. James, Daniel Quinlivan; third ward, W. H. Topp, T. Donlan ; fourth ward, N. F. Parker, W. F. Robertson; fifth ward, J. P. Montgomery, George W. Millis. The committee . will first organize and then set a date for the primary; specify what officers shall be voted for in the primary, and transact all other business incident to the campaign. It is stated that while the law prescribes that only the Mayor and Board of Aldermen shall beoted for inthe reg ular election, the Executive Commit tee may give the people a chance of recommending any minor officers that they may ' desire in the primary. Of course the result of the pri mary, would not be legally binding upon the Board, but it is gen erally aupposed that in such instances the Aldermen would be morally bound to ratify tbe action of the .people ex pressed at the primary. However, that is a question for the Committee's decision to-night If it should decree that the will of the people may be ex pressed for the office of chief of police, chief of fire department, city clerk and treasurer or city attorney, for instance, the committee could call for an ex pression from the people upon those officials.

QUAKENBUSH DEAD. Well Knows tilth School Principal Died Rather Suddenly at Laorlobarg. Public Spirited Citizen. Special Star Telegram. Laurinbubg, N. C, March 9. Prof. W. G. Qaakenbush, founder and for 25 years principal of the Laurin burg High School, was stricken with paralysis here last night and died this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the resi dence of Dr. Peter John, with whom he had made his home for some years. Prof. William Graham Quakenbush was born in Orange county, N. O., about 53 years ago. He was educated at Bingham School and at the Uni versity of Virginia and was a member of the faculty of Bingham's for a short time.
