COST OF RATE UTIQATI0N Over Four Thousand Dollar Already Paid Out to Lawyers and Others. Spanish-American War Claims. Other News -Notes. (Special Star Correspondence.) Raleigh, N. C, Oct. 29. In a strik ing sermon Sunday in Chrisfc Church this city Rt. Rev. A. C. Hall, D. D., bishop of Vermont, declared that he has no faith in prohibition- which, he said, seemed to be gaining ground rapidly in the South. He had seen it tried in New England, sometimes hqn estly, sometimes fanatically and some times as a part of political schemes, but that his experience taught him that it will not work. . He said that in small localities tha sale of liquor might be restricted but not to any advantage in larger towns. He contended that prohibition laws have the tendency to "draw saloons under ground", where thrsy are without regulation. He contended that the true Christian position was not "Thou shalt not have a glass" but to work quietly on the mam within and edu-r cate him up to self restraint and if need- ba to total abstinence. Educa-1 tlon of the people up to the evil ofJ drink was the true mission of temper ance rather than fanatical effort in the direction of legal prohibition. x 4 The People's -Laundry (Inc.) organ ized by citizens of Raleigh for the pur pose of contesting .the action of the two Id laundries in making a gen eral advance in charges for laundry, has purchased the building of the old Carolina Phosphate Works, West of the city.

Governor Glenn at noon today heard a delegation appearing in the interest of Robert Lilllston, who has served two years of a fifteen-year sentence for shooting Charles Smith, of Peters burg, in the crowded waiting room of the union depot here about the last day of the State fair three yars ago. It is understood that Judge Ward who tried the case and Solicitor Jones who prosecuted join in the petition for the pardon.

It is of interest to note that to date there has been paid out of the State treasury in expenses by the State m the railroad passenger rate litigation $4,039.60. This is nothing like the actual cost to the State to date since some of the State attorneys have not yet drawn any fees whatever. It is estimated that the final cost of the lit igation to the State-mo matter, how speedily the whole matter is settled will be not less than $15,000.

W. Jacobi Elected Secretary. Special Meeting of Board of Audit and Finance Held Yesterday at Noon. The newly-elected Water Works and Sewerage Commission of Wilmington, which. was completed with the election of Mr. Charles W. Worth as the third member of the body by the Board of Audit- and Finance at a special meet ing yesterday at moon, perfected its formal organization last night in the Mayor's office at the City Hall with the election of Colonel Walker Taylor as chairman and Mr. Marcus W. Jacobi as secretary. The meeting was called to order at 8 o'clock and nearly two hours and a half was spent by mem bers of the Commission in discussing the situation and preparing to take charge of the water plant on Friday of this week, November 1st. After the meeting nothing was given out for publication save that the Commis sion had met and organized and was studying the. situation in order that members of the body might be able to take charge when the plant is turned over to them. There cam- be no doubt, however, that the Commission has en tered upon its work with an enthusi asm and an application of business methods that means nothing but suc cess for the important branch of the city government which they will have in charge in- the future. The further developments in the wa- I noon with the special meeting of the Board of Audit and Finance for the purpose of electing its member of the Commission, the appointees by the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen having been announced the night be fore. All .members were present ; at tSe meetlagandaftCT-rerervingn.-l cial report of the action of the Board of, Aldermen with reference to the mat ter in hand from the night before and after the same had been approved, Mr. Wilder moved the election of Mr. C. W.' Worth to represent the (Boar.l of Audit and Finance on the Commis sion for a term of six years as provid ed in the act. This nomination was promptly seconded and Mr. Worth's election was unainimous. His election completes the commission with Mr. Jacobi, appointed by the Mayor to serve for two years; Colonel Taylor elected by the Aldermen for a term of four years and Mr. Worth by the Board of Audit and Finance for a period of six years. The meeting then adjourn ed subject to call of the chairman. The completion of the Commission with the election of Mr. Worth by the Board of Audit and .Finawoa was re ceived with genuine satisfaction bv the public yesterday. It is generally agreed that the personnel of the Com mission could not- be imuroved upon and that Wilmington will enter upon .her first experiment with municipal ownership under the most favorable conditions and "under conditions that will make for success if success is possible. All the gentlfemem .named on the Commission are men of large affairs, sound business judgment and an integrity which has -never been (questioned. Their selection is "way up and above municipal politics and they were induced to accept service on the Commission only after repeated overtures made to them by persons who have the interest of the city at heart. ' Members of the Commission were ofilcially notified of their election dur ing the day and at once a movement was set on foot for an organization which was necessary on jaccoimt of the short time to' elapse before they must take charge of a very large bus iness. The meeting was hrld last night in the Mayor's office with all members in attendance. After disc cussing the situation at some length, Magistrate W.'R. Smith, who is a sta tion officer over in police headquart ers, was called over and before him, the three members of the body quali fied by taking Uhe oath prescribed by law. The Commission then settled down to business; Colonel Taylor was electedNchairman; Mr. Jacobi, secre tary, and the act under which the wa ter plant is being taken over was brought out and studied for. some time. A member; of; the Commission stated after the meeting that the question of the election of sub-officials of the system , was not entered upon at all. but. that, for the present, all employes will be retained, of course. City. Attorney Marsden Bellamy, Jr., spent yesterday in searching the title to the.Bjeoerty and stated yesterday afternoon that he saw no reason why everything should not be closed up j Thursday afternoon, so that the plant, could be taken over by the city upon the opening of business Friday morn- in. ttu first..

Line in this city. There were present to witness the pretty nuptial event a large number of admiring friends and relatives of . the young people to the solemn marriage vows, which were administered by the. Rev. A. D. Mc Clure, D. D., pastor of Saint Andrew's Presbyterian Church, assisted by the Rev. W. L. Cunninggim, presiding el der of the Wilmington District M. E. Church. The marriage is described as having been charming for its every environment and one of the most ele gant of the early Fall season In Wil mington. . The parlors of the home in which the ceremony took . place were very attractively decorated witl. smilax, ferns and chrysanthemums, the pre vailing colors having been yellow and white and this haying been carried out in the decorations all., over the house. Excellent music was played by Ad kins' Academy Orchestra, the party having been ushered into the room where an altar . had been beautifully improvised. The bridei was attended as maid of honor by her sister, Miss Lillian Davis, while her bridesmaids were Misses. Ethel Hopkins, Ethel Cheek, Bella Lawther, of Wilmington, and Miss Julia McSoiiey, of Newbern. The groom was attended as best man by his brother, Mr. Roy LeGwin, while the groomsmen were Messrs. D. N. Chadwick, Jr. W. G. Smith, Harry Newlands and W. T. Farrlss. The bride was becomingly gowned in a brown traveling suit with hat and gloves tomatch while the maid . of Uignpj3dhjl white with large bouquets of yellow chrysanthemums. The groom, and male attendants wore suits of black with boutonnieres of white and yellow. Each of the guests was presented a souvenir box of wedding cake with the proverbial admonition as to its use foR carrying the recipient into the realms of the future. After the ceremony an informal re ception was held at "which a , luncheon was served and Mr. LeGwin nd bride were showered with the happiest fe licitations upon their happy union, for life. Later the wedding party- accom panied the bride and groom to the Front street passenger station whence they took their departure on the north bound Atlantic Coast Line train for a two weeks' wedding trip north, in- cludirur Richmond. Washington and New York, returning from whick they w'll be at home at No. 420 South Fifth street. On the; evening before the. wedding, members' of the bridal party were de lightfully entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. O. McEachern, Shade land, in East Wilmington, with whom the bride has made her home for some time. A large number of very hand some and useful wedding presents were received by the many friends of the bride and groom in Wilmington and elsewhere. Both Mr. and Mrs. LeGwin are very nopular in a wide circle of friends in this city and there Are many who will join in happiest felicitations to them upon the pretty wedding ceremony of yesterday afternoon. The alarm of fire from box -16, Fourth and Brunswick streets, last night about-10 o'clock was on ac count of" a slight blaze in an alley in that vicinity. , The damage was trif ling.. . the, same manrfer as. it was offered some time ago, to provide the Street Commission with funds in the event it desmd to proceed at once with the work of permanent street work. It is stated that , the plant will be quite self sustaining once it is in the hands and operation of the city, even with the amount of already - collected ren tals which the company retains ac cording to the terms of the agreement. The city itself has been paying some thing over $800 monthly for hydrant rentals and this will be a big saving within itself. The election of Mr. Jacobi to the Water and Sewerage Commission means that he will have to resign from the .Board of Health, which -was contemplated when be consented to serve in the larger capacity. This is greatly regreted by the Mayor and nther members of the Board of Health but it was demonstrated by Mr. Ja- cobi while a member of the. latter Board the he is the very man for the Commission. He gave much of his time and attention to the affairs of the Board of Health and never falter ed in his service to the city."
