Retaralax Deleittes Qsve Impressions of the Astl-Sslooa Lcsgne Meetlsg ia Rsleltb This Week Musical Proirsmme Other Notes. The Anti-Saloon League rally at the First Baptist church last night was well attended and fraught with much enthusiasm. Rev. Dr. A. D. McClure, the consecrated and popular pastor of St. Andrew's Presbyterian church, pre sided over the meeting. The chief feature was an able and eloquent ad dress by the Rev. W. M. Vines, pastor of the First Baptist church of Ashe ville, whose fame as a temperance ad vocate bad preceded him. There were also encouraging five-minute reports from Revs. J. A. Smith and Geo. B. Webster, members of the Wilmington delegation to the great Anti-Saloon convention In Raleigh this week, and an attractive musical programme. The proceedings opened with devo tional exerciser, including a very fer vent prayer by Rev.F.M. Shamburger, pastor of Fifth Street M. E. church, and the singingof "All Hall the Power of Jesus' Name." Dr. McClure then referred to the temperance convention in Raleigh and presented Rev. Mr. Smith, whom he said would give in five minutes some echoes and impres sions from that meeting. Rev. Mr. Smith began by saying he brought back to Wilmington glad tidings and great joy. Nearly every county in the State was represented in the convention, not by cranks and fanatics but by great and good men. It was not a fanatical crusade, but an expression of the best people on earth. The convention was a harbinger of a better and brighter day for North Carolina. It was a second declaration of independence. He concluded by aaying that as a representative of the Wilmington League he had pledged the organization for $100 toward the $5,000 fund to be placed In the hands of the Central Committee to send men through the State for aggressive work. Rev. Geo. B Webster deplored the fact that the audience before him was composed largely of ladles and not so many manly men, in sharp contrast to the meeting In Raleigh. Declara tions laid down at the convention were for an enforcement of the Watts' law and that in the future temperance men look well to the men they elect as law-makers. "There's where our trouble has lain for many years," he said. As an illustration he cited New Hanover county. Antl-saloonists failed to inquire into the sentiment of their last representatives in the House and Senate and as a conse quence they sent men to Raleigh who did all In their power to block any leg islation looking to the restriction of the liquor traffic Mr. Webster said be thought the keynote of the convention was "action." He admonished his audience to cease sitting on the stool, of "do-nothing" and get to work. Following the reports Mrs. J. M. Loftin rendered with splendid effect the solo, "Come Home." Dr. McClurs then made a brief talk, paying an elo quent tribute to Rev. Mr. Vines and presenting him to the audience. Rev. Mr. Vines at once impresses one with his earnestness and enthusi asm. He is a forcible and withal an interesting speaker. He referred briefly to the campaign in Asheville. He said only one mistake waa made there. The opposition was scared so badly that they bought more votes than was necessary. He went on to say that the election was won by fraud and intimi dation and every sort of known rascali ty. He said there would-be a reaction. The election was the first Bunker HUl and a Georgetown and glorious vic tory would follow. He took for his special subject, "The Appeal of the Anti-Saloon League." Its platform was broad and permitted the member ehip of every opponent of the open aaloon. The League appealed to right eousness. God's masterpiece was the gospel for the salvation of men. The devil's masterpiece was the open saloon to damn men. The League's appeal waa moreover an appeal to common sense. The movement has cranks in it, but there are cranks in every line of endeavor. Prohibition was the Ideal end to which the League waa working, but it must be accomplished by de grees. There were now thirty millions of people In the United States under prohibition laws. The League stood for the restriction of the traffic in everyway possible. The appeal was first to the preachers, who should be the moral leaders In every community. It was a foolish Idea that preachers ought not to have anything to do with politics. They are men and citizens and have a right to exercise their suf frage and Influence to moral ends. The League's appeal was to churches. It bad been illustrated as taking pearls from a mud puddle It was tbe churcbe's duty not only to take out the pearls but to wipeHp the mud puddles. There are 60 of these mud puddles In tbe beautiful city of Wilmington, said the speaker, and it is the duty of the church to wipe them up. The League's appeal was to the Christian voter everywhere the Chrlatianwho would carry his con science to the ballot box. Rev. Mr. Vines closed with a reference to the ultimate triumph of the League move ment, taking a very optimiatic view of the outlook and construing the desper ation of the saloon men In their strire against the movement as an encourag ing aurury. Dr. McClure made a few appropriate remarks, thanking tbe speaker and dismissing the meeting with the sing-Ins- of "Throw out the Life Line," sod ' benediction by Rev. Mr. Vines. DISORDER ON A STREET CAR. Condnclor on City Electric Use Brslslly Asssslted Last Night by Kofflasa io Presesce of Lsdles. A most outrageous assault Is report ed to have been made upon Conductor Peter Walker, of the city street car line, at Ninth and Princess streets, last night about 11 o'clock. Hosea Davis, O. T. Williams and Jno. Tharpe, young white men under the influence of liquor, were uaing violent and very profane and bolster ous lasguage'on Conductor Walker's ear. A party of prominent young la' dies of the city were enjoying a trolley party on the car and Conductor Wal ker asked the men to stop using such language in the presence of the ladles. They replied with an ath and the car waa stopped. The men got off as di rected by the conductor, but as he pulled the bell cord for the car to pro ceed and started to remount, the men pulled him off, tore part of his coat away, threw him to the ground and beat him severely with a stone. The ladies, already horrified at the disor der of the drunken men, were forced to sit on the car and see the conduc tor beaten. Hia face and head were badly cut and bis body bruised In sev eral placea. When the car could proceed the conductor waa taken to a near-by residence where some of the ladies on the car bandaged hia wounds. Later Conductor Walker reported at the police station, and Capt N. J. Williams issued a warrant for the men. Thsy were arrested shortly af ter midnight on Surry, between Or ange and Ann streets, by Policemen C. T. Jones, O. E. Wood and I. F. Huggins. The trio was locked up in the station house and will be given a bearing by the Mayor at noon to-day. The affair was a most outrageons one, and theC. R., L. & P. Co. will doubt leas employ the best legal talent to prosecute tbe defendants. AN EARLY M0RNINQ BLAZE. Three Colored Residences la Fifth Ward Destroyed Lamp Ezplosloa.

Reference Is made to the offer of inducements in the way of transportation toand from the city to all buyers who desire to come here and make their purchases of Wil mington wholesale merchants.

The plan submitted by the committee Is in the form of an agreement, which was adopted by the Uhamber when fifteen or more mer chants shall have signed it, as follows: : The undersigned members of the Chamber of Commerce agree to sup port tbe following plan, having for its purpose the attraction of trade to Wil mington : 1.

And on purchases of $500.00 and less than $1,000.00 fare will be for one way only. 2. Each and every one of the under signed who sells to a customer on this basis will contribute bis pro-rata part to the refunding of the fare. 3. Customers making purchases un der this plan will, before leaving tbe city, register with the Secretary of the unamber oi uommerce their names, together with the names of those of horn they have made their pur chases. 4. Parties to this agreement making such sales will attach a certificate to the invoice mailed tbe buyer, which certificate will in turn be mailed by the buyer to the Secretary of this Chamber. When all of auch certifi cates have been received by the Sec retary, notice will be Served on the several sellers to pay their pro-rata part of the said railroad fare, and as soon as practicable thereafter, the Secretary will remit the amouat to the buyer in question. 5.
