On the local market yesterday rosin
reached the highest price in 80 years,
according to a well known factor. The
quotations were $1.95 for strained and
$3.00 per barrel for good strained. The
recent loss of two large Wilmington

be responsible for the strength of the
local market The abandonment of the
Norwegian barque Freidia with a
cargo irom murcnison cc uo. was
noted a few days ago and yesterday it
was learned that the barque Argo with
a cargo of 6,107 barrels, consigned by

Campbellto wn lifeboat. The bark was
considered a total loss on the 3Stb.

Qnests la New Annex to House
of Worship Committees.
Under the auspices of Grace Epworth
League a most charming and elaborate
reception was given laat night from
8:30 to 10:30 o'clock in the new annex
to the pretty church of the congrega
tion at the northeast corner of Fourth
and Grace streets. .The lecture room,
class rooms and church parlors were
conveniently thrown - into one by
means of folding doors and the com
bined auditorium proved itself admira
bly adapted to social affairs of the kind
which distinguished it last evening.
The rooms were attractively decora
ted with palms, ferns, wild smilaxand
yellow jessamine, while the lighting
effect from handsomely polished can
deiabra in the refreshment room was
all that could be desired. The guests
three or four hundred in number
were most nospitaoiy received by a
party among whom were Rev. and
Mrs. J. N. Cole, Rev. and Mrs. R B.
John, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Perdew,
Mrs. O. O. Covington, Mrs. A. O. Craft
and Miss Neppie Borden.
The guests were favored during the
earlier hour of the reception by a
piano solo, "Rustle of Spring" (Bin
ding), by Wilmington's talented
young musician, Mr. James Charles
Craft. A vocal solo, "Forgotten"
(Cowles), was charmingly rendered by
Miss Mary Cole, 'who played her own
accompaniment. Mrs. James Craik
Lord delighted the audience with a
beautiful soprano solo, "The Last
Smile" (Wallenhaupt), and responded
to an enthusiastic encore with the
"Spring Song" by Mendelsohn. Mrs.
Lord has a voice of much sweet
ness and is a valuable addition to mu
sical circles of the city. She is a
graduate of the Cincinnati School of
Music.
Following the musical features,
dainty refreshments were served by an
assembly of pretty young ladies, who
were most charming in their attend
ance. The refreshment committee
was composed of Mrs. Jno. F. Garrell
(chairman), Mrs. W. M. Hankins, Mrs.
W. C. Craft and Mrs. Annie Bowden.
The decorations were by a com
mittee composed of Mrs. L. A.
Blue (chairman; Miss Hazel Love,
Miss Louise Van Laer and others.
The reception was a great success
from every point of view. It was the
most ambitious yet undertaken by
the Epworth League and reflects great
credit upon that enthusiastic organiza
tion. The League meets weekly on
Fridays for devotional exercises from
7:45 to 8:30 P. M., and Is a valuable
auxiliary to the congregation in more
ways than one.

ties for the brutal murder of another
negro, Will Roper, In the Hebron
neighborhood, seven miles from Ben-
nettsville, 8. 0., 13 years ago on Dec
3rd of this year.
White was recognized undermost
unusual circumstances at the last term

the necessary papera to take the negro
to Bennettsville, where he will be tried
at the term of Marlboro court, conven
ing April 27 tb. There was no reward
for his capture as was at first sup
posed. Sheriff Green says the woman
over which the murder was commit
ted, is living at Laurinburg and as he
has all the papers from the coroner's
inquest he doesn't think it will be
difficult to convict.
The prisoner is about 50 years old
and is on crutches from a broken
kukle received by jumping from a
fast moving train, when he was ar
rested in Columbus county for retail
ing liquor. He has a bad eye and
looks as if he is capable of committing
the aggravated murder with which he
ii charged. Near Laurinburg he was
an iutimate friend of a colored woman,
who married his victim, a much
younger man, and removed with him
to Marlboro county. Wadkins follow
ed the couple and going into their
house with a shotgun, he demanded
that the woman pack up her clothes
and return with him. The young
negro husband got out or the door
and was retreating in the yard, when
Wadkins filled him with shot from
both barrels of the. gun. Sheriff
Green left yesterday afternoon with
his prisoner, via Maxton.

JEWISH FEIST OP PURIM
It Will Be Celebrated by Hebrews Every
where To.day Its SIf nlficsnce.
Jews everywhere will celebrate the
Purim feast to-day. It marks the
anniversary of Eing Ahaauerus' order
rescinding the edict for the killing of
the Jews and overthrowing the plans
of Haman for the destruction of the
race. Through the efforts of Esther
the King issued the order, and gave
the Jewa permission to defend them
selves when attacked.
The race was preserved by this or
der and the people have celebrated it
ever since, covering a period of 3,400
years. The celebration has not the
religious sentiment which marks so
many of the Jewish holidays. In
ancient times the anniversary was
celebrated by giving dances, especially
masquerades, and this custom has been
continued to a large extent by thous
ands of Jews. One of the prescribed
customs is for the assembling of the
family in the morning and evening,
when the book of Esther is read and
there is a general exchange of presents.
It generally is made the merriest of
the Jewish holidays, marking, as it
does, the preservation of the Jews.
