James M. McGowan Sunday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock was perhaps the largest In point of attendance ever held in Wilmington. : The Camp of Confederate Veterans and most of tbe many secret orders to which the de ceased belonged, met at their respec tive halls and attended the services in a body, the procession of those on foot alone being longer than the distance covered by two blocks.- There were also In attendance a large number of friends, not Included In the ranks of the 'orders and Fifth' Street M. E. church in , which the . services were held, was totally inadequate, to seat them. Ey ota Tribe, Improved Order of Bed Men, to which Oapt McGowan was peculiarly attached, and Cherokee Tribe, of the same' fraternity, were the first to march to the residence, 713 Orange street, where they were soo n joined by Wilmington Lodge No. 1S9, L O. O. F.t and other Odd Fellows'; Jeff .Davis Council No. 63, Junior Order of United American Mechanics, and Cape Fear Camp No. 254, United Confederate Veterans, all of .whom formed a solemn procession, escorting the remains to the church and subse quently following them Vlth mourn ful step to the cemetery, where the burial took place according to the solemn rites of Odd Fellowship, the offletrs of Wilmington Lodge officiat ing. ' -. ..."'.V-- ". The services in the church were by the Bev. Dr. A. D. McOlure, of St. Andrew's Presbyterian churchy In the absence of Capt. MeGowan's pastor, the Bev. F. M. Shamburger, who be came ill while at Rockingham, N. Q, assisting In the dedication of a new church there. Dr. McClure had been asked only to assist In the service, but upon taking entire charge ' he con ducted the funeral In a most impres sive manner. ; At the close of the ser vice proper he took occasion to pay a high tribute to tbe fellowship and hu manity of his friend and the bravery and fidelity, which Oapt. McGowan gave to the Confederacy in its: darkest days. He also spoke a word of comfort to the sorely bereaved one and to the several secret orders which had lost the presence of one so enthusiastic and devoted. The musical features of the service .were especially pretty. Miss Kate Sholar rendered sweetly as a vol untary the solo "Loved Ones' are Waiting Ifor Me," with chorus by a double quartette consisting of Misses May L an din and Edna Fleet, Mrs. Carrie Gardner, -Messrs. J. W. Fleet, Albert Dosher, J. B. Williams and Willie Muse. "Asleep in Jesus" vras also beautifully rendered and one of the most;touehing of the selections was "Sleep on Beloved" by the Fifth Street Male Quartette, composed of Messrs' W. IB., Dosher, first tenor ; Albert Dosher, second tenor ; Willie McGirt,; first bass and Willie Muse, second bass. As the remains left the church "Nearer My God" was softly rendered by the choir. Miss Mamie McGIrt, the organ ist, played the accompanist In soft and tender strains.. - . . - ' The floral tributes were many and very handsome. One of them, a floral cross, perched upon which was - a snowy white dove, as if in the act of about to fly, was especially handsome and was laid' upon the casket by Oapt. MeGowan's son, Mr. W. A. McGowan. All the lodges to which deceased be longed also sent .beautiful designs. " , Those who came. for. the funeral were Mr. P. W.

This expected fight against the liquor interests of the city; especially those saloons situated within 200 feet of a church. In which instances the grant ing of applications Is discretionary under the law, did not materialize at last "night's special meeting of the Board of Aldermen, held for the ex pressed purpose of renewing licenses for the six months beginning July 1st However, - certain restrictions were thrown around the traffic, . which re putable saloon men may not object to, and which will no doubt tend to rid the business of several of its objection able features under more liberal re gulations. " Of the 59 applications for retail license, 57 were granted, one was not acted upon and one was re jected. At present there are 61 retail licenses In force but four did not apply last night for renewal this term, viz: W. A. Vollers,South Front street; J.G. Kahlken, Sixth and Brunswick; ETA. Kerr, Fourth and Hanover, and Elijah Walton.Tblrteenth and Market streets. That of F. B. Brown was not acted upon for the reason that the present month's license is unpaid, and the Board refused to renew that of J. 8. Sneeden, 115 South Front street, be cause of objection raised to the manner In which the place Is conducted. In addition to the retail licenses, one wss granted fair a distillery at Thirteenth and Queen street; two to breweries and one to a wholesale dealer. r - The Board met at 8 :S0 o'clock, Mayor Springer in the chair and all members present, .viz : - Messrs.

There were also present a large number of spectators, Including many who bad applications before the Board. .Mayor Springer stated the object of the meeting. Be fore proceeding,' Mr. Gafford said be had in the hands of the clerk, a resolu tion which he desired to be read. Tbe Mayor asked if it bore upon the subject of the applications for. license, as that was the; only business that could properly be brought before' the Board at the special meeting. , Mr. Gafford having replied In the affirmative, the clerk read the following: ; - - Be it ordained by the Board of Al dermen of the City of , Wilmington and the same Is hereby ordained with authority, . that in- granting, liquor license, the following rules shall be Issued with every license granted. Any violation of these rules shall be cause to revoke and shall revoke the license of persons so violating : -- 1 No woman shall enter any saloon, bar-room or other place where in toxi ca ting drinks are . sold.

It shall be the duty of the Chief of Police, at the meeting of the Board of Aldermen, to report whether or not there have : been any violations of these rules. :. -;' . 'Mr. Gafford moved the adoption of the resolution ; seconded by Mr. Moore, Mr. Behrends moved it be taken up by sections; seconded by Moore and Swee ney, and carried unanimously. Mr. Tiencken-wanted to know if the rules would be as binding as ordinances.; It Was stated that the licenses would only be granted under" the conditions em bodied therein. First,;, second and third - sections were adopted unani mously. Upon ' objection by ' Mr." Behrends, fourth section was amended by striking out "three or more persons on the sidewalk .infront'of saloons,1! and made : in : the doorway," as printed above.'- The other - sections then went through unanimously, with slight discussions as io Interpretation and the .resolutions were , finally adopted as a whole:;..;;'. ::-: ' ; Before reading, the applications the Mayor handed the clerk the following, which was read and placed on file : Mayor W.

Springer and the Board ir:, vf Aldermmx - ' : The Womiin ChrUtlan TenTperance Union : of Wilmington feeling their inability to act alone do appeal to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen to take definite steps toward a complete prohi bition of the liquor traffic in our city. The saloon elementIslosing.no time la pushing its cause; especially among' the young men, and where it is gain ing such a strong bold is the place that we feel should be touc el by the bet ter and purer Influences of temperance sentiment Such a sentiment has been aroused - among r us and yet as . a woman's society, we are hamper ed . as - to - aggressive work, - but feel that Ilttis in the power of your honorable body to take positive steps and such as will tell In the building up of a strong prohibition movement. We are willing and will consider it an honor to do any work we can in so good a cause, and would co-operate in any way It may. tbe possible for us to do. We send this appeal only as a suggestion, knowing that this move ment can only be developed gradual ly, but we feel that It Is time some steps were taken, a beginning made, and that it Is our duty as a temperance organization to place ourselves in a position to help push the cause. ; This communication is heartily en dorsed and expresses the sentiment of every member of the W.

President.; t The clerk proceeded with reading the applications and the endorsements thereon, which , he said he had exam ined very carefully and believed them to be correct. As the clerk read, those that were objected to were laid aside, it- being the understanding that all Others were granted. Steljes & ; Co.'s and Chas. Bichter's applications were found with endorsements by persons who had signed other applications Closer examination, however, revealed that the applications contained suffi cient names besides the double signs. tures, v and they were passed. Mr. Moore asked that applications of J. S. Sneeden and J. W. Smith, No. SChes nut street, be laid aside. A petition against granting license to W. S. Her ring, No.8 North Second street, was read and it was laid aside for discussion. Pe titions for and against granting license to Capps & Co., Sixth and Castle, were also read, and that one, too, went over. The batch not objected to was then granted as a whole. ' ' The application of W. S. : Herring was then discussed and the petition against granting it was read with the following names attached: Wilming ton Pressing Club, J. O. King, Mana ger; J. B.

Grady, Esq.; attorney for Mr. Herring, claimed tb,at there should be no discrimination and attacked the motive of some of the petitioners until stopped by the mayor. He said he meant no reflection but saw no reason why the license should not be granted. Mr. J. B. Farrar, one of the signers, was present and made a speech against the liquor traffie in general. The ques-. tlon Was finally '.called and a parlia mentary tangle ensued. The motion was to not grant the , license, Messrs. Murrell, Karr, Moore and W. H. Yopp voting In the affirmative, Messrs. Hashagen, Tiencken, ; W. E. Yopp, Gafford . and Sweeney voting In the negative and Mr. . Behrends not voting at all. There was talk, as to the stand ing of the vote and Mr. Behrends said he would vote not to grant, making the ballot 5 to 5. The Mayor cast the tie off by voting also not to grant and so declared the result, but Mr. Gafford called his attention to the fact that the license had been granted upon the first vote and the other ballots were out of order. The City Attorney was appeal ed to and coincided in his views with Mr. Gafford.
