tar. WILLIAM H. BERNARD Eklitor and Proprietor. WILMINGTON, N. C. Friday,- - - May 10, 1901. ONE MAN POWER We have heard much of "one man power" in politics, but we are approaching the time when we will have the one man power dominat ing our industries. Andrew Car negie said in an interview a few days ago that the time was not, far dis tant when one man would control - the highways 'of transportation be tween the two oceans and make the charges for service over these roads. When he spcke thus he doubtless had J. Pierpont Morgan in his mind; for Morgan was then in the same town with him in Switzerland and they were holding daily conferences about schemes in which they were mutually" interested. Morgan had already completed the consolidation of some of the leading railroad lines : between the two oceans, had just closed a deal for the purchase of one of the strongest English steamship lines running between this country and England, which made the trans portation system complete across this continent and across the Atlantic and practically all of it under one managemennj and that management is undoubtedly J. Pier pont Morgan or the man who co operates with him, who is J. II. Hill, the-most potent railroad force living to-day. lie is the originator of the consolidation idea or of what he calls the "community of interests." His schemes all have the Napoleonic sweep in them, and when he and J. Pierpont Morgan, the great manipu lator and organizer, met and put their heads together, the world be held the twin marvels, and soon saw "the results of the combination in some of the grandest industrial schemes ever attempted. What Mr. Morgan does he does quietly and quickly, but not until his plans are thoroughly worked out, and he seems to accomplish without difficulty everything he starts out to do. There had been but little intima tion of a scheme to consolidate and bring under a common management the steel corporations of this country, but it was done in a marvellously short timeconsidering the magnitude of the undertaking. la a brief time after that he had secured possession of the coal mines of Pennsylvania and of the iron mines on Lake Su perior, and coincident with these schemes had consolidated nearly one half the railroad mileage of the country. This made him as the representative manipulator of all these interests the industrial king, controlling not only the steel indos "consummation devoutly to be wished," a something by which this country will be greatly benefitted, a prediction in which a great many differ from him, especially in view of the fact that the combination controlling the steel business and the coal mines, of which he is the' looming figure and the soul, has ad vanced the price of coal one dollar a ton and of steel rails two dollars a ton and other steel products doubt less in proportion, when it was making a clear profit of $10 a ton on rails at the old price. With this as an indication of the mode of operating, the public need not look any special favors from the trans portation lines under, the control of the combine when Mr. Carnegie's one man fixes the rates. There are no "heroes" in indus trial battles when rival interests combat, but Morgan is a Colossus and a mighty monarch in his domain. We will see more of him later, when his agents put in an ap pearance at Washington to dictate the legislation' he and those asso ciated with him, want. WEDDED YESTERDAY. DESTRUCTVE wail STORMS. I FAYETTEVILLE'S election. Pretty Afternoon Marriage Cele brated in the First Pres byterian Church. MISS VANDYKE TO MR. MOORE A SHIPPING TRUST. When the ship subsidy bill was under, discussion in the last Con gress it was charged that a shipping Trust was -contemplated, which would reap the benefit of the bulk of the subsidies. Mark Hanna and other sponsors" of the subsidy bill strenuously denied this and per sisted in denying it up to the time that Congress adjourned. ' Since then the shipping Trust has become ' a reality which can no longer be de nied. It has been incorporated under the laws of New J ersey, embraces four of the largest plants in the country and has issued its slock to the amount of about $65,000,000. Co incident with this, to assure the peo ple that stock in it will be a good investment, the statement is made that it has orders enough booked to make a -clear profit this year of 7,000,000. This shows how little credence can be put in the denials of Mark Hanna when he is interested in any public measure. He repeatedly and em phatically denied that any shipping Trust was in contemplation, when he knew better and was practically one of the movers for the Trust, al though he kept in the background. With the Trnst an? accomplished fact, although it announces that it already has orders enough booked to make a clear profit of $7,000,000, its lobby will be found in the Cap itol when the shipping bill comes before Congress, and that lobby will back Mark Hanna and the other subsidy boomers in their ef forts to push it through. They haven't given it up by any means, and will have their bill ready when Congress meets, although, perhaps, try, but the fuel and the transporta- I 80newhat different in its provisions tion on which other industries de- I from tne bill which Hanna failed to pend.

Wells, Which United in Matrimony Two Popular Yonng People The Reception. The marriage of Miss Ciaribel F. VanDyke, daughter of Mrs. E. G. VanDyke, of Canton, Pa., and niece of Col. and Mrs. F. W. Foster, of this city, to Mr. Roger Moore, a popular and well known young business man of Wilmington, was beautifully cele brated yesterday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock at the First Presbyterian church, Eev. Dr. J. M. Wells, the pas tor, officiating. ' The sacred edifice was tastefully decorated with a wealth of smilax and many tropical plants and was well filled with .the hundreds of friends of the popular young people who plight ed their troth at Hymen's altar. While the wedding guests were arriving, a special, quartette with Mr. E. H. Munson accompanist, rendered a beautiful programme of vocal music including "The Bridal Chorus" from the "Hose Maiden" (Cowen); ''Narcis sus" (Nevin); f'March of the Invin cibles" (Haesche). The quartette Was composed of Mts. W. L. Latta, Mrs. Jas. D. Smith, I Mr. Charles V. Mott and Mr. H. K. Holden and just prior to the entrance of the bridal party Mrs. Latta sweetly sung as a solo; "A May Morning' The party entered the church to a wedding march from Lohengrin and during the ceremony Mr. Munson softly played "Oh Promise Me." The ribbon girls, the little Misses Florrie Wright and' Emma Woodward, daintily dressed in French nainsook, came first ; then came the ushers, Messrs. Jno. B. Peschau and Frederick D. Bolles, followed by the maid of honor, Miss Francis Moore, of Charlotte, who wore an attractive gown of white silk mulle with chiffon hat and a bou quet of La France roses. -j Next came the bride upon the arm of her uncle, Col. F. W. Foster, the party being joined at the chancel by the groom and best man, his brother, Mr. Edwin Y. Moore, who entered from the door south of the altar. The bride was most beautifully gowned in French and old rose offeta with lace and mouseline trimming and with a corresponding hat of chiffon. She carrried a shower bouquet of brides' roses and lilies of the. valley, and as the party grouped about the altar and the ceremony was being performed by Dr. Wells, the scene was most impressive and withal very beautiful. The exit from the church was to the inspiring strains of Mendelsohn, as excellently played by Mr. Munson, and during the early evening a brilliant reception in honor of the event was given at the hospitable home of Col. and Mrs. Foster, No. 110 North Sixth street. Mr. and Mrs. Moore left on the 7 o'clock A. C. L. train for a bridal tour North, after which they will be at home in this city. Reports Prom East Carolina Trucking Section Are That Great Damage Has Been Wrought to Crops. News of a destructive hail storm. which appears to have been pretty general over the trucking section of Eastern North Carolina yesterday af ternoon, reached the city last evening and it is believed very great damage has been wrought to strawberries and' other crops. . . Mr. R R. Stone, of the firm of Stone. Rourk &Cj., who came, down on a freight train from Fayetteville on the Atlantic and Yadkin road last night, brings most discouraging reports from that section. He' says that the area covered by the fall of hail extends from a distance of about seven miles from Wilmington as far towards Fay etteville as Atkinson," N. C, where there was a slight fall when the train passed through, which may have in creased in violence after be left. When the train reached Montagu, the first station out from Wilmington, it was found that the pelter of hail stones was phenomenal. Mr. Stone said he never saw such a fall before and in places, he believed, where the stones had rebounded together, they were as deep as three inches and of good size. People at the station at Montague re garded the storm little less than ajc lamity upon the truck growers, though no exact information as to the extent of the . damage could be gathered at that time. Points along the A. & Y. road were not the only sufferers by the storm. The trucking section along the W. & W. was also visited, as the following, received last night from both sections, will show : "Mount Olive, May 7. The heaviest hail storm for several vears fell at Mount Olive this afternoon. The damage to the strawberry crop must be heavy, yet it is unknown. The hail and rain storm commenced at three minutes to 3 o'clock in the afternoon and lasted twelve minutes, literally cov ering the ground, the size of the stones being from that of small marbles to the size of small May apples." "CrREiE. N. C, May 7.-This place was visited to-day by one of the heavi est hail storms seen Lere in twenty-five years. Truck and other crops are badly damaged. Some of the farmers think their berries are ruined. It stripped the fruit from the plants and they look as though they were beaten with brush." It will probably be a day or two be fore the exact damage to all sections can be ascertained. Cnnk. Administration Democrat, Elected Mayor, Over McNeill, Anti-Administration Candidate. Special Star Telegram. FAYETTEViLiiE, N. C, May 6. The vote in the municipal election to day was: For Major Cook, administra tion Democrat, 500; McNeill, anti ad ministration Democrat, 170; Under wood. Republican, 13., The full ticket, administration Democratic aldermen and audit and finance board, was elected. A Bitter Contest. Fayetteville, N."C., May 6. The most bitter contest in the history of the city was fought at the polls to day for the election of mayor, board of aldermen and board of audit and finance. There was great tension for several days over rumors of violence by the Anti-administration people, and when the polls were opened at sun rise there was a great crowd present. Bitter attacks had been made upon Mayor Cook and his administration, and from the time the - polls were opened it was seen that the voters were determined to repudiate the Anti-administration committee and vindicate the mayor, board of alder men and board of audit and finance. Senator Jas. D. McNeill headed the Anti administration, Mr. John Under wood the Republican, and Col. W. S. Cook, the Administration Democratic ticket The result was a most com plete vindication for Col. Cook and the boards of aldermen and audit and finance, as out of a total vote of six hundred and eighty-three Col. Cook received .five hundred; 8enator McNeill one hundred and seventy and Mr. Underwood thirteen. The Dem ocratic ticket received three-fourths of the white voters and a majority of the colored vote, while 8enator McNeill received but little over a hundred white votes. The fight was really a contin uation of the dispensary fight, inau gurated in the Legislature, and the result was an overwhelming victory in favor of morality, schools, law and order. H. Eye.

O 3 we have this same railroad combine with steamers running from the Pacific terminus of that combine across the Pacific to Asia, and thus one combine under one management donominated by one man practically belts the globe. That's what An drew Carnegie meant when he said one man would fix the prices' of transportation for all the roads. In other words a veritable railroad and industrial monarch. " Talk' about politics, the - power of patronage, and all that kind of thing, but that, great as it is, dwindles into insignificance com pared with the mighty power wielded by such an autocrat. There is no blare of trumpets when he travels, no public .receptions and no speeches, and no regally equipped trains, but he supplies these regally appointed ana sumptuouslyf urnished palaces on wheels for the dignitaries he expects to utilize when it may be to his interest to seek their services. His method is to work in quiet, attracting as little public attention a8 possioie, ior tne less noise there is made about what he wants to do the easier and more quickly he can doit. A survey of the industrial field in this country shows that it is now practically in the control of a few men, who speak through one man and that man is monarch Morgan who having completed, as far as at present necessary, his plana on this side of the Atlantic is operatinf on is virtually a recommendation of the adoption of the Piatt amendment, the provisions of which were ex plained to their satisfaction. The objection to the clauses providing for intervention by' this Govern ment, and. coaling and naval sta tions were so explained as to re move any apprehensions the Cubans might have entertained on acconnt of. these, while they were assured that there was no intention of in terfering with their local, governments. The fact is the explanations, ac cording to this report, divested the amendment of all features to which serious objection could be made by any Cuban who desired an early and amicable arrangement with this country. Assuming this to be true why couldn't the meaning have been made plain to the Cubans when the amendment was presented, and their convention was asked to adopt it, and thus remoye apprehensions and doubts as to the import of the sev eral clauses, and as to the motives and intentions of this Government, concerning which there was differ ent opinions in this country as well as in (Juba, different enough to cause a good deal of j contention which at times threatened and bor dered on violenee in the convention and m Cuban cities?

The Star yesterday pu blished pretty full accounts of the hail storm through out many sections of the East Carolina belt. The following specials were re ceived last night: Mount Olive, N. O.. May 8. The extent of the damage by the hail storm yesterday afternoon may be gathered from the fact that Capt. C. B. Elmore, of this place, conceded to have had five acres of the finest berries in our county, suffered almost a complete loss by the hail. He was offered by one of our commission men $800 a few days ago and to-day you Ll. t A -v mi . go ma crop ior $ou. me nau in his field after the storm was about four inches deep and in drifts almost twelve inches. Such a storm ha never been seen in this country be fore. Not only Capt. Elmore has lost but several others have suffered severely. Mr. B. W. 8outherland's crop was badly injured. The storm appeared to have taken a streak about one half or three quarters of a mile wide for several miles. The estimated loss in this section is about ten thou sand crates of berries. Curbie, N. C, Maya-Strawberries were damaged to the extent of about one-half within a radius of two miles of this place. Elsewhere the damage is about one -fourth. Other crops are not so badly damaged.

Bellamy Degan the construction of the Wil mington Street Railway in May, 1887, he bad several hundred sap pine cross ties treated with the wood preserver of the Spirittine Chemical Company, of this city. General Manager Hanson superintending the work. These ties, which under normal conditions would not last more than two years, are be ing removed to day (in a most perfect state of preservation, because they are too small, being 4x6) for the heavy rail that is bsing laid. The spirittine wood preserver manufactured by the opirittme Chemical Company is no longer an experiment, having stood the most rigid test successfully for fourteen years. The oil, owing to certain chemical ingredients with which it is treated, has thoroughly penetrated the wood and consequent ly made it very much harder and stronger, as was proven yesterday by sawing one of the ties in two. The spikes that held the rails are so se cured that they can scarcely be with drawn. The odor, too, is almost as strong and distinct as when the oil was put in fourteen years ago. The Stab announces upon very good authority that able counsel have been emplo. t J by parties in this city to re sist the enforcement of the revenue law passed by the last General Assembly, on the t round that it is entirely un constitutional, as section 14 of Art. 2 ot the i (ruti'.n has r.. t ben com plied r .i This v ctioa uses the language that "ao la a be passed to impose any tax upon the people of the State, unless the bill for the purpose shall have been read three several times, and passed three several readings, which readings shall be on three different days, a: d agreed to by each House respectively, and unless the yeas and nays on the second and third readings of the bill shall have been entered on the jour nal." The information comes from very good authority that when the bill came up for the second reading in the Senate, that it was weighted down with thirty six amendments, and after the bill went back to the House many of the amendments were concurred in and others rejected. That when the bill as amended came back to the Senate it was only read one time and passed one reading and was alterwards ratified. If this information is correct, then in the opinion of our best lawyers the whole revenue act is invalid, the Supreme Court of North Carolina having several times decided that un less a bill of this character passes the three readings on separate days and the yeas and nays are recorded in the second and third readiags,;the bill is utterly void The contest will be watched with much interest, as many very important changes have been made in the new law, and many in terests will be effected by the result of the decision. It ha; been held, however, bv thn Supreme Court, that if the revenue law fails for lack of the constitutional requirements, the last preceding reye nue bill holds, and the taxes must be levied under it. So our county and State governments will not be crip pled for want of revenue, as the levy will undoubtedly be made under the revenue act of 1899, Brunswick School Commencement. Prof. J. B.

The full meaning of the widespread suffer ing in Jacksonville was realized to day when it was announced in one of the meetings that a great number of men who had never been used to manual labor were clamoring for work. Among them were clerks, col lectors, book-keepers and even pro fessional men three young physi cians especially declaring their condi tion destitute, as they had lost ward robes, libraries, office fixtures and everything in the fire. The depart ment of labor has undertaken to give clerical employment to all of these applicants. The executive committee of the Re lief Association arranged to-day to establish a sewing tent and twenty five sewing machines were ordered and other appurtenances which will enable the seamstresses who have lost everything to get to work again, and they will relieve the condition of the fire sufferers who have lost all clothing but the clothes they are wearing. A laundry will also be erected and the colored laundresses will be started in business again. Sitaation Last Night.
