An outline of the work of the Rivers and Harbors Con gress has been given in the Associat ed Press dispatches to this paper and it is not necessary here to go into the general results attained. It was expected that only about a thousand delegates would be in attendance upon the Congress, but Mr. Chadbourn says there were 1,200. He says he never saw a more, earnest, a more intelligent foody of men in deliberative assembly The Mississippi river valley was rep resented in the Congress by 800 del egates while the others came from all rartn f Ittifit nmintrv.

He had also the pleasure of meeting and talking with Speaker Cannon, who is deeply interested in the work and was one of the principal speakers at the sessions. Others were Chair man Burton, Hon. John E. Ransdell, Bird S. Coler, Governor Blanchard, of Louisiana;; Hon. Jobn Sharp Wil liams, Chairman Tawny, of the House Committee of Appropriations find Others- Mr. Chadbourn was honored with election as one of the vice presidents of the Congress while Maj. B. J.

Local Interests were not neglected in the representation from WilmingtOTi and much good Will no doubt result not only generally but for North Car olina from the meeting of the Con- Igress. Raleigh, N. C, Dec. 8 utes yesterday afternoon the break water at Fort Macon saying station sank from an elevation, of three feet above high water to a depth of 50 feet. The long pier in front of the statiloxL sank until it rested on the water, the protecting bank crumbled away and cracks were made in the ! hills adj-cining the beach. The subsid ence is attributed to an underground current from the ocean setting against I. the point in front of Port Macon, which is at 'the entrance of Beaufort Harbor. Judge Thomas R. Purnell in the Federal C;urt heire has ifeued a rule against W. T. Riggsbee, a wealthy cit izen of Durham to show cause why he should not be adjudged guilty o-f contempt of court for the reason that it appears that he procured the sum mons -of witnesses from Durham coun ty to appear tin the Federal Court in Raleigh when they know nothing what ever of the 'case involved against W. N. Wilson, charged with retailing and blockading, whereas Riggsbee's real motive was to get these witness, out of Durham county and away from the State Court in session there so that they could not be gotten before the grand jury as witnesses against his case charging that he stuffed a ballot box in the recent election. Senator A. L. Brooks, who is pros ecuting attorney in the State court at Durham appeared before Judge Pur nell and made a statement of the cir cumstances. He initlmated also that Riggsbee would be charged with contempt in the State court at Durham. The rule of Judge Purnell is to be heard next Thursday, morning. The Bank of Lflesville, Anson coun ty, was chartered to-day with $25,000 capital for a general commercial and savings business. T. G. Wall and B. m AN IMPRESSIVE SERVICE City Officials, Fraternal Orders and Friends Paid High Tribute to De ceased Colleague Special Es cort From Police Department. The funeral of the late Mr. Edward F. Jonnson was conducted at 3 o'clock yesterday afternon from Market street M. E. Church, adjoining the late resi dence on North Ninth street, the ser vices having been by Rev. J. W. Potter former paster of the church and a close friend of the deceased. There was a large attendance, including the Mayor and Mr. Johnson's colleagues Oft the Board of Aldermen, a special escort from the Wilmington Police Department ; members of Hanover Idge of Odd Fellows, George Wash ington Council, Junior Order of Amer ican Mechanics and others. . The. large number of people in attedance upon the obsequies very much overtaxed the church the funeral having been one of the largest held in Wilmington in several years and more representa tive of all classes of our citiienship than any held here in some time. Members of the Board of Aldemen, the escort from the Police Department and the lodges which honored their deceased brother assembled at their respective headquarters at 2:30 and marched to the church in a body form ing a long procession after the service and proceeding with the remains to the last resting place in beautiful Oak dale cemetery. The procession was headed by a platoon of police consist ing of Chief N. J. Williams, Sergeant E. J. Grimsley; Offlpers Charles E. Wood, M. P. Newton, Alex Wells, J. M. Lord M. C. Gray, C. J. Jones. Leon Saloon Rcform Movement to the Fore Session Promises to be Quite Interesting Probable Success or to Alderman Johnson. CONFERENCE WORK Fourth Day's Sessions Yesterday at Reeky Moimt Were Very Interesting. The special meeting of the Board of Aldermen tomorrow night at 8 o'clock primarily for the purpose of consid ering Nthe petition of the Ministerial Association, asking for certain saloon forms, promises to be quite interest reforms promise to be quite dnterest ation with Rev. R W Hcgue as spokes man, will be present by invitation of the Board and the saloon men who are resisting certain features of the re quest of the ministers will doubtless be represented by counsel, who will present their side of the question n the strongest possible light. The fight will be oh the ordinance for bidding the sale of liquor with grocer ies with a view of ridding the residen tial sections of the city of the bars. It is understood that some of the down town dealers are not averse to the movement, but the smaller dealers in the up-town. portions of the city have organized to defeat the proposed meas ure. There will be no objection to a very rigid ordinance requiring all ob scene pictures and music to be ex cluded from the saloons and some ac tion in this respect will be taken at the outset. Another matter of some interest will be the election by the Board of a suc cessor to the late Mr. E. F. Johnson, of the Third Ward- The place will be filled by the colleagues of the deceased member and there is strong talk of the election of Mr. S. Behrends, who was a member of the Board under the last administration. It is not known, how ever, that Mr. Behrends will accept. Two other matters for considera tion at the same meeting are the plum bing ordinance and the amendment of the fireworks ordinance permitting toy pi&oi-j carrying paper caps to bfe sold in contradistinction to those car rying a blank cartridge agak st wihicli the law was really aimed.

The services in the church were un usually pretty and impressive. Rev. fr. Potter made a oeautiful eulogy upon the life and character of Mr. Johnson, speaking of his great service to the church and State. The funeral hymns Were sweetly rendered by a special choir composed of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Hodges, Mrs. James S. Longfellow and Mr. Alex- S. Holden. The floral tributes were many and exceedingly handsome, those from the lodge and from Mr. Johnson's col leagues on the 'Board of Aldermen having been especially pretty. The service at the grave was with the honors of the Independent ' Order of Odd Fellows, the officers being No ble Grand E. S. Hancock, Messrs John E. Wood, A. J. Hewlett and others. It was all a splendid tribute to a good and useful citizen. The pall bearers ton the sad occasion were: Honorary Messrs. Matt J. Heyer, IS. P. McNair, F. H. Fechtig and J. A. Taylor; active Messrs.

Just before the hour for the funeral yesterday afternoon the (Board of Al dermen held a special memorial meet ing to Mr. Johnson in the Mayor's office. At the meeting Alderman W. Hv Yopp, Mr- Johnson's col league from tne Third ward, in a pretty eulogy of his deceased comrade offered the fol lowing resolutions which were unan imously passed by a rising vote. "Whereas since our last meeting the Angel of Death, that great Reaper, with his sickle keen, has visited this Board and removed from our midst Alderman Edward F.

Wilmington pastors and delegates who have been attending the Baptist State Convention in Greensboro for the most part retiumed yesterday and last night. All speak in the highest terms of the great gathering and of the city of Greensboro. They were fortunate in securing the meeting of the convention next year in this city. A strong fight was made for Newborn, but the committee had decided in fa vor of Wilmington, and the recommen dation was adopted. Rev. Fred D. Hale, D. D., one of the leading men in the convemtion, re turned to the city last night and will give some impressions of the great gatherings at the First Church today. All are invited; Baptists especially, for he brings encouraging news from aid over the field and will make the ifour interesting. Big Cotton Cargo.

As much as The Star dislikes to place any limitations whatever upon its advertisers, the growth of its pat ronage in this respect has been so phe nomenal, that it becomes absolutely necessary to make the rule now that in the future changes for contract ad vertisements for the Sunday edition must, reach the office not later than 8 o'clock Friday night in any emergen cy. To get the best results, both as Lto. position and display, the copy for changes should reach the office Fri day afternoon or earlier. Of course where the subject matter for an adver tisement develops later than the hours indicated, the case is different, but It has always been the puzzle of th: newspaper offices in Wilmington' to know why, on the very busiest day of the week, merchants and business; men should take their time then to prepare advertisements that could as well be written earlier in the week, advantaging themselves, too, of better position and better display. In its Sunday edition of the past week the Star carried all told 44 solid columns of paid advertising, a little over 24 1-2 of which columns were "new" to that edition, much of the copy for the same coming in "at the last minute." Such a condition of affairs would swamp any newspaper office in the South of the size of Wilmington and for that reason this notice is given. The Star believes that an obser vance of the rule above so far as pos sible will result in greater satisfaction to both the advertiser and the paper. The failure of advertisers to comply with our reasonable requests hereto fore has frequently caused a loss of our early mails and a very late deliv ery of the Sunday Star to city subscri bers. memory a blank page in our minute book and that together wrfth the Mayor this Board attends the funeral in a body. "Resolved that the Clerk of this Board be requestel to forward a copy of these resolutions to the family of our deceased colleague." The remarks of Mr. Yopp in intro ducing the resolution were beautiful indeed and paid high tribute to the departed member. Alderman P. Q. Moore and others also took occasion to pay their respects-to the memory of Mr. Johnson, all of which was made a matter of record for the minute book of the city council. (Special Star Correspondence) Rocky Mount, N. C, Dec, 8. The fourth day's session of the North Car olina Conference convened this morn ing at 9 o'clock with religious exer cises by Rev. T. H. Bain.

Finances of all were in fuB and substantial improvements to church property were noted in the reports. The class for admission into full connection with the Conference were called to the bar and given public ex amination. These were B. B. Stan field and E. M. Hoyle. Rev. Dr. W. W.
