Strawberry shipments yesterday through South Rocky Mount as re ported by telegraph by Business Agent H. T. Bauman, amounted to 38 refrige rator tears and about one thousand crates by express. The distribution was largely to New York and Phila delphia, the former receiving 16 of the cars and the latter 15. Smaller shipments to the" several markets yesterday consisted of two cars to Schenectady and one each to Elmira, Wilkesbarre, rittsburg, Bal timore and Newark. The fruit is now going forward in rather large volume both from the iChadbourn fand Wil mington & Weldon sections, but there are said to be few berries moving from the A. & Y. belt. Regarding a new pest for the crop which has recently made 4ts appear ance in the Rocky "Point ' section the following correspondence was received last night from Mr. E. D. Pearsall, the well known R. F. D. carrier of that section: N ". Rocky Point, N. C, April 29. The strawberry situation here is extreme ly gloomy. - Spots are bringing from $2.50 to $4.00 for fancy fruit. Berries reaching Northern markets in soft con ditio; weather too cool to cause any demand. Crop very short; decidedly shortest in ten years. Prices lowest for same period of time and matters in general have anything but a roseate hue. There is a small bird known as the cedar bird that is destroying large i quantities of the berries. They go in immense flocks. Mr. Walter Keith, of the Riley's . Creek sectidn, says they destroyed five crates for him last Sunday. Yesterday his son shot into a drove and killed 13 at one shot. One large grower here threatens to plow up and convert his patch info a bull frog ranch. Surely the way Of the berry grower is hard this season."

OFFICERS OF GRAND LODGE Grand Master S. M. Gattls, Grand Sen ior Warden W. B. McKoy, and CjGrand Secretary John C. - " . - -Drewry Received. Members: of the Masonic fraternity from jallfpver this section of Eastern Carolrha jJ including large ; delegations from vthlfour WilmingtonVlodges, join ed' most heartily iast night with St. John's ioage No. 1, of this city, in a most , elaborate and pleasing reception in honor-f the Most Worshipful Grand Master -Siniuel M. Gattis, of Hillsboro; the Right Worshipful Senior Grand Warden'iW.-B. McKoy, of Wilmington, and thKight Worshipful Grand Sec retarsMrn C. Drewry, of Raleigh. The: affair is pronounced easily the most important apd the most pleasing in the'ijbtory of the order in this section-fin trecent years. The distin gisheV?isitbrs arrived in the city last eveningand are being entertained at The Orton, where they .will be until 7 o'clock; tis evening and will be pleas ed to ;rhet,their friends. The formal part ofjthe entertainment of theGrand Lodge lofficers was In the form of a speciallcommunicatlon last evening at 8 6'clpcf in the Temple at which the distingn$hed guests made inspiring addresses, followed by an elaborate banquet-in " the ball room, where more than it$tfo hundred enthusiastic mem bers6?ih3 . craft foregathered and joined :;the; festivities of the occasion. In ilhe absence of Master John S. McEahern,. of St. John's Lodge, Sen ior Warden C.-L. Meister presided and his chirlwasi filled by Senior Warden B. Alerritt After the opening of the!oxie.in due and ancient form, the a4essL;'of welcome was deliverei by t iMSEugene : S. Martin. . who con- jraiaeiithelottg oihaving the nonof rottne presence of such a dis- tmguisnea representatn trom tn-, Grand . Lodge arid expressing the knowledge that it would be a pleas ure for all to hear them. A selection was rendered by the St. John's Quartette and Grand Master Gattls was presented by Mr. Meister. The theme of the Grand Master's ad dress was the teachings of Masonry and his subject was eloquently and most profitably developed. He said that the order was growing all ove: the State. There are now 350 orphans In the home at Oxford, being trainea for the duties of manhood and womaa hood, then taking up the principles of the order, said that Masonry built higher than material things; it made7 for character and standing in the com munity as was evidenced by the at titude of the outside world toward the order. While the Masonic order had no Christian creed, its members recog nized the divinity of God "and Jews and , Gentiles Joined ; in its work and were made better Christians for the teachings whieh they received. He said that he didn't come to lecture the members of the order but he would impress on them the duties an:l responsibilities of a Mason; thaf they should ever practice the principles ct brotherly love and charity; that they should look after the welfare of their brethren and help them in times of distress and give friendly advice in stead of slander. When one went as tray, ball him personally and not oth ers; endeavor to turn his feet in the right pathway. Then It was the duty of Masons to ever respond to the call of distress whether from member of their order' 4r not. The Grand Master, spoke of some the earlier Masons, of the Cape Fear. Richard Caswell and Cornelius Har nett,, stating his belief that the teach ings of Masonry had much Influence in shaping their destinies as Illustri ous men in their country. The Grand .Master was given the closest atten tion and was warmly applauded. . Grand Senior Warden W. B. McKoy responded rather briefly, stating that he could hardly consider himself a visitor inasmuch as he had spent all his life In this midst. He referred to some of the historical incidents of Masonry on the lower Cape Fear, such men as Caswell, Munson," Cotton and others of sainted memory. Mr. Mc Koy closed with a beautiful -'-little quo tation from Alexander Pope, illustrat ing beautifully one of thertenets of the great orde which he so ably repre sents. '-. -...yv ;.. . -' Grand Secretary Drewry was most happy- in his response and began by referring- in response to his introduc tion to the play "The Servants of the Htfuse" in , which -the. ' dramatic ques tion '. is asked "Inf God's name, -Who Are We?" He thought r the - answer should be. ."In God's Name, I am Your Brother."

Interesting Session of Re J corder's Court. The cases against R. E. Daniels and Jambs Walton, two, white men," arrest ed Wednesday night on charges of selling whiskey, were investigated at the session of the Recorder's court yesterday and upon the testimony of five witnesses, who disclaimed any knowledge whatever of the defend ants selling intoxicants, were promptly dismissed. The warrants against them were issued on information and belief by Sergeant. C. S. Burnett, who had been informed that certain persons had pur chased intoxicants from the store of Mr. (Daniels at corner of Fourth and Church streets, and from Mr. Walton, who is employed in a store at Seventh and Castle. Among the State's wit nesses who testified at the trial were John Redd, Clyde Lee, Dudley Garri son and a colored man, Charles Stuart. Marjsden Bellamy, Sr., Esq., who ap peared as prosecutor, in view of the evidence, asked the Recorder to dis charge the defendants, and such action being taken they were exonerated of any violation of the law. Walter P. Gaff ord, Esq., represented the defen dants and in arguing for the dismissal of his clients asked that Sergeant Bur nett be taxed with the costs, but the Recorder held the officer in no way responsible. Messrs. John C. Redd and Dudley Garrison, who were State's witnesses at the trial, desire it stated that they had nothing whatever to do with the pr6secution of Messrs. Walton and Daniels. At the conclusion of the trial Ser geant Burnett offered to go on the stdnd and testify to the sourc4 of his information but both the attorneys ruled that this . was incompetent and Sergeant Burnett was not permitted toj do so.

Keith's new- Cus tom House at Wilmington, with a pro fessional French Tad-pologist in charge. An option has been taken on ohe of the large strawberry farms of a grower, who has retired. The farm is entirely surrounded by ditches with cross ditches and two artesian wells will be sunk to keep, up water supply. The average bull and cow frogs are of sedentary habits, consequently they will need stools to repose on to keep a jweather-eye open for mosquitos and the other one "skunt" for crawfish. Tp meet this necessity edible frog stool spawn will be imported and planted on the spot. Prime frogs now quoted at Delmonico's at $12 per dozr eri with mushrooms extra. When shipping season begins each frog will be! served on his own stool. It is es timated that each cow frog spawns 500,000 eggs with 5 .per cent', infertile to! be multiplied by 500. Gee! the figures are simply staggering. Beats growing strawberries. Stock is now booming, quoted on change1' $102.50 common; $110 preferred; a limited am ount for sale. The following gentle men all eminent Pisciculturists and Frogologists are invited to be -promot ers of the enterprise, viz: Major Ber nard, Wilmington , Star; ' ex-Mayor Hood, of Goldsboro; Hon. A.
