T..DeWitt Tal-. mage, D. D., the discourse he deliver ed last Sunday. - ,'- t . - - For a number of years Dr. Talmage's sermons have been one of the features of The Messenger and for their - publi cation we- have held - the exclusive privilege from the American Press As sociation. ; Some months ago our enter prising contemporary. The Evening Dispatch,; "announced, that It would commence the publication of these ser mons, "and in view of the fact that we have no Monday issue.could have printed' the sermon in advance of us,accordihg to our agreement not to publish K before it was preached so we got special permis sion to print the sermons' on the day they were delivered.! We, therefore, began the publication of the sermons on the Sunday mornings upon which they were delivered, and as a matter of course before they were, delivered. : The Morning Star recently announced tlat it j would take a postal card vote as to the preference of its natrons for. Its publication of these sermons and subsequently announced that it would begin their publication. The Messenger thereupon said in its issue of December 13th: i -, v' ' I 'A letter before us from the, American Press Association advises us that no other paper in Wilmington can get Dr. Talmage's sermons as long as The Mes senger holds the exclusive franchise for their use in this city. For years these sermons have been a prominent and popular feature of- Sunday's Messenger, and will continue to be. Other sermons of Talmage, that were old, have been, printed, and will, no doubt, be printed again, but we .desire to remind our readers that the sermons appearing in this paper are the very latest prepared by this -distinguished preacher. The fact is, the sermon in this morning's Messenger is the one to be delivered by Dr, Talmage today, at 11 o'clock so that our readers can always read the sermons each respective. Sunday on which they are delivered." . ?The above, remarks elicited an im potent fanfaronade f romThe Star in its issue of December 31st, but its Illusive vaportngs' do not affect or alter the statement that we made--that "no oth er paper in Wilmington', can getDr. Talmage's sermons as Jong as The M"a-senger-holds the exclusive, franchise (from the American Press Association) for their use in this city." and that "sermons- of. Dr. Talmage. that were Id, have been printed,-and. will, no oubt, be printed again." We desire to reiterate, therefore, that If we publish a sermon In advance of any bther Wilmington paper, the same sermon printed a day or two later will, as a; matter of course, be old, a back number, as the case may be. Although we had been previously as sured of pur holding the exclusive fran chise from the American Press Asso- elation, 'to publish the Talmage dis courses, we recently wrote to the asso ciation and their reply, as , published Jbelow, bears us out; -..!'' ! Philadelphia, December 11,1 1896. The Messenger, Wilmington, N f Gentlemen: Replying to your favor of the ?th will advise you that The Star cannot get the Talmage sermon from us - so long las yous hold the fran chise The Talmage sermons.as we have before advised you, ea'npot be copy righted; therefore The Star or any oth er paper could copy this sermon after it has been printed. However, as we alone have tfie advance copy it will be im posBiblafor The Star to get the sermon in time o print the first day after ver bal delivery? but any time aft- the ermon has been priateaxnebiar ouia, if tSey wished, secure the sermofi and We' COUid JQOt neip imrseivra, jlu an T,rnba.biiitv The Star would try get the sermon .in plates. ..There is a late housj in Cleveland that copies the ser- mon wneii n lirai.

A" few' days subsequent 'to the receipt ?f thfe above we rtr-elved the following letters Philadelphia, December 18,1896. The Messenger, Wilmington, (: Gentlemen: Mr. Klopsch, Dr. iai- mage's representative, complains 1 tiiat your paper Is printing the Talmage ser-, mon on Sunday morning before it nas been delivered. As this is in violation of our contract with Dr. Talmage, we will ask you to kindly refrain from printing the sermon until after deliv ery; as the sermon is delieverd on Sun day, the earliest publication can be on Monday. Very truly, AMEK1CAN rxuioo ASSJN . That the: bfficlousness of somebody had .he desired effect.

The Messenger, Wilmington, N. C: Gentlemen: Considering that' you print no Monday paper, and the efforts of a rival paper to present the Talmage sermon, we regret exceedingly that wc are, not in a position to permit your paper to contiue the publication of-the sermon before it has actually been de livered. It seems that Dr. Talmage's representative has learned of tb pub lication, and positively insists that tne premature printing of the -sermon shall cease. Very, truly. THE AMERICAN PRESS -ASS"N. It is due The Messenger to say that we have never known Mr, Klopsch in the matter of Talmage's sermons and that we never corresponded with him at any time about the matter.; Neither does jhe receive -The Messenger, but from'f the fact" that'll "complains" ; it appears, that some person deeply inter- cmeui 1 1 lie icl iiiiii juiun iiioi. tutKF- lished the sermons on the Sunday on which they were delieverd.

W. , Foster, land Commlssioniers Roger Moore, W. F. Alexander,! F. J. Dempsey and Jordan. Nixon. Commis sioners Moore end Alexander were present for the first time ince their appointment by Judge Boy kin. 1 The register of deeds, C. W. Nor wood, was in aittendance as Clerk,, and after he had read the minutes of the. last meeting they were approved. Marsden Bellajny. Esq., was In at tendance as counsel for the board, f Chairman Foster announced the death of Mr.- Stacey VanAmringe, the county ltreasurer, and said in view of the ' necessity for having 'a treasurer to pay the warrants of teachers, and other dues, t would tee necessary to go Into the election of a treasurer. x Commissioner Nixon thereupon nom inated Mr. James H, ; Chadbourn, Jr., (republican), for county treasurer. Commissioner Moore said before the board would go into the election of a treasurer 1 It would be proper to as certain' if ; the board has a right to elect the treasurer, or .whether it Is the prerogative of the, judge of the circuit court of the. clerk of the court to ap point him.! ' t ' ! - Chairman Foster said the. matter would nor properly be before the. board until the nomination was seconded. Commissioner Dempsey seconded Mr. f Chadbourn' nomination. - , Commissioner Moore protested ca go ing Into an election, but said" he de-. sired to nominate Mr. JoSh T,, James, (democrat). Commissioner Alexander- seconded Mr. James nomination. . :-' The matter then came up regularly for discussion. ) , Colonel Moore safld it' was the duty of the, board to ascertain ; whether it has the right to elect a treasurer and called upon Mr. Bellamy, the board's attorney, to give his opinion. Mr. Bellamy said he had investigated the question very carefully, and that in his opinion the board had a right to elect. From the statutes it appears that, if the board had rejected Mr. VanAmringe's bond and the vacancy had "thereby . occurred, the superior court clerk would have had the ap pointment. Mr, VanAmringe's bond, however, had not been rejected. Ac tion ori it had simply been postponed until it could be completed by neces-. sary , signatures. The bond jwas satis factory and practically had been ac cepted..' j h - Commissioner Moore ..called for the reading of the records of the Decem ber meeting of the board as to Mr. VanAmringe's bond. The record was read by the clerk and the reading was that the bond hlad been rejected and action on ..the mutt ter postponed till next meeting. Commissioner Moore contended that. thls put it out of the power of- the board to elect. ' i: Mr. Bellamy, however, said the rec ord was incorrect, as the bond had not been rejected, but .action ' was simply postponed until this meeting. He Said jt was his opinion at any rate that it was the board's right to elect. He said, however, that the board .would have to first declare the office vacant before it could go into an election. ,1 Commissioner Dempsey - thereupon moved to reconsider the action of Che board as to the motions made before the board, and" the motion was agreed to..- '::,' .. T : , i" L' - I Mr. Dempsey then moved that . the board declare the office of treasurer vacant on account Of the death of the county treasurer,1 and the motion was adopted. ' Colonel Moore entered his protest, against the election of a treasurer by the board. Messrs. Chadbourn and 'James were .again, placed in nomination. A ballof was then taken, ! and the vote resulted in three votes for Mr. Chadbourn and two tor Mr. James. Chairman Foster ! and Commissioner Nixon, republicans, voted for Mr. Chadbourn. Commissioners Moore and Alexander, democrats, voted for1 Mr. James. - I i , - Upon the announceirmt of the vote. Chairman Foster- declared Mr. Ohad bourn duly elected icounty treasurer. Chairman Foster stated that there were several 1 applications for correc tions of the tax Jists,-and said it would faoilltate matters If the board would authorize him to look into their merits at his leasure and dispose of them, i Commissioner Moore objected. Chairman Foster then proposed- to leave these matters to Commissioner Commissioner Moore moved to re fer All sucfe masters to the attorney to be repbrv?i b!k fr action. The mo tion prevailed. . j . .

I Phalrmin Foster said statements had been published recently that there was $20,000 surplus in the county treas ury, but investigation showed $ hat the taxes for the present fiscal year aboutT exhausted: leaving a floating debt of 'about $10,000. .He said this mat ter would come up before the board tq- Orr motion action on the bond of County Treasurer Jas.

Nickerson, the man who lost his identity -and has been confined at the city hospital, ar- :Tiyedhere Sunday evening and left yesterday for Cape May, N. J., with the unfortunate man. . The following is taken from the Philadelphia Times: i Cape-MayrN, J.-; January- 2.. A dis patch frpm WilmingtonTN. Gsf brought glad -news to Mrs. -James d: Nickerson, at her South Seaville home. The tele gram stated that her husband, . Captain J. D; sTickerson, who mysteriousiyais appeared from his vessel at Hampton' Roads, Va., last week, had been found .wandering aimlessly about the streets of that city: He had completely lost his identity, but a 'slip of paper found in his,pocket bore the name of J. D. Nickerson and Showed he was the missing man. Mrs. Nickerson greatly relieved of the suspense in regard to the fate of her husband, answered the telegrams, and sent to his father; who is in Phila delphia, and his brother at Norfolk the good news. They will take immediate steps to bring the unfortunate captain home. The theory is that young Nickerson may have been stricken with a fever, which temporarily un balanced ' his mind. There "was great rejoicing today among his relatives and friends. His young wife had begun to mourn him as dead." The W. I- I, Flag at Halt Mast. The flag on the W. L.

Be sides these, William Higgins, oiler, of Connecticut, is dead, having . been drowned in the surf in landing. Cap tain Murphy says that Ritter and the two colored men were- on board the vessel when she went down and were drowned. The other four men were on a raft, and the cruiser Newark-, and steamer Three Friends as well as afleet of small boats from the Halifax river, are now bunting for. them. . The New ark went.tb sea Sunday night 9-nd used her powerful search light but to no ef fect, It now believed that the men are all drowned, ' 'h Captain Murphy's story of the sink ing of the Commodore is as follows: "At midnight Friday the engineer re ported that the vessel was leaking bad ly and the water, was rapidly rising in the hold. The pumps could be made to work for they were choked, as. the suction was gone. The men wur'e gut to 'Work with Duckets, . bailing, and wood, oil, and. alcohol was put In the furnace In- order to keep upsteam to get the vessel to the shore, if possible. The water gained in spite of the efforts of the men and before the vessel ran three miles the fires were extinguished. Anchor was then dropped and the boats launched. In the first was Major Del gado, and eleven others. In the second, boat was Julio Rodrdgueg Bya," Manuel GoBzales, Louis Sierra" Mederes and Jesus Alvarez. The first left- imrne- diately but the other stood by to reader assistance if . needed. Later janothar boat was launched, and Mate Grain and seven men entered It. This was stove in before they got away from the ship. The men climbed back on board and built a raft. All got on it and th -git was taken in tow by th lhgy in which J' .
