His Remain to Arrive Here this Morning and tb Funeral to Take Plaee at the First Baptist Cbnren -find of a Bnsy Career. ' .''' The remains of the lamented Mr. Alexander Oldham formerly of - this city, who died at his home In Anniston, Ala., on Wednesday, will arrive in Wil mington by the Atlantic Coast Line this morning, and will be taken from the depot to the First Baptist church where the funeral services will, take place at 11 a. m. The interment will be made at Oakdale cemetery by the side of his wife whl died In 1882. , The deceased was born March 2, 1832, and- was : aged 65 years and three months. He was the elder brother of our esteemed townsman Captain Wil liam P. Oldham and father of Mr. Ed ward A. Oldham, general manager of the Associated Trade and Industrial Press, of Washington, D. C. His pa rents were Mr. Thomas Douglas Old ham and Mrs. Elizabeth Beaver Old ham, the former during his lifetime be ing a large planter and prominent member of the Baptist church. Mr. Alexander Oldham's birthplace was at Oaks, in Orange county, North Carolina, and his early life was spent on his father's plantation. He was educated at Bingham's school and en tered upon a business career at Hills boro, N. C, in 1854, in the employ of J. C. Turrentine & Son. then a very considerable general merchandise con cern. He located In Wilmington in 1856 and embarked in the commission busi ness. . At that time, middle Carolina traded almost entirely with Norfolk, Va., em ploying the Raleigh and Gaston rail road as a means of communication. He is entitled to the credit of diverting this rich trade from the Virginia seaport to Wilmington, and the files of every newspaper publshed in central Caroli na at that time, will show the ad vertisements of his business, embody ing an argument in favor of trading with Wilmington Instead of Norfolk. No advertising 'campaign ever begun in North Carolina produced more imme diate and satisfactory results, and It not only built up an extensive bus iness but gave to Wilmington a stream of trade from the up-country, which has steadily increased from year to year. . : ''. ' : About 1858, Mr. Oldham entered into co-partnership with James J. Bryan, whod led within a year, the business of the firm being sacrflced to satisfy Mr. Bryan's creditors. Without any capi tal, save an indomnltable energy and valuable experience, he commenced again at the bottom of the ladder. In 1859, he formed a co-partnership with James Stokeley, who had been connect ed for fifteen years with the milling Arm of Ellis & Mitchell, under the firm style of Stokeley & Oldham. They pur chased the only flour mill then In Wil mington the Cape Fear Flour Mills. He succeeded to . the interest of Mr. Stokeley before the end of the year. In less, than two years, under his man agement, he had made the mills pay every dollar of the purchase money. This plant, after extensive additions had been made, was destroyed by fire in 1866, at a total loss of $40,000. Before the bricks were cool, preparations for rebuilding were commenced. He em barked In the brick-making industry for the time, and made brick for the new plant, which had the distinction of being at that time, the largest man ufacturing building in the state, and among the largest milling plants in the south, costing when completed, over $50,000, with a daily capacity of 1,000 bushels of meal, 50 barrels of flour, and 500 bushels of pearl hominy. It -was the first pearl hominy mill to be erect ed in the southern states. These mills, situated at Nut and Walnut streets, werje burned in the great fire of 1885, He moved to Baltimore soon after, be coming head of the commission firm of Oldham & Barnes, When the period of r industrial activity in Alabama be gan, he moved to Anniston, where he was conducting a successful commis sion business at the time of his death. ' During the war through a member of the Wilmington Light infantry, he was exempted from military service, because of his being the only mill, In operation in the city and an important food-supply for the confederate gov ernment. ; He was for years a prominent mem ber of the First Baptist church, of this city. He was a man of marked ability, a progressive and enterprising business man, a public spirited and valuable citizen, and his death would be a blow to any community. The Messenger notes the end of his life with sorrow and extends its sin cere sympathy to those who are so sorely bereaved by his death.

President James H. Chadbourn . Jr. presided and Colonel Jno. L.,Cantwell, the secretary, was at his post. ' The minutes of the last regular amT special meetings. were read and ap proved. The following applications for mem bership were read, and the applicants were unantaiously elected: Messrs. J. F. Garrell, Major D. O'Connor, W. C. VonGlahn, Andrew Smith, and B. F. Keith, of the' dry, and Mr. J. A. Brown, of Chadbourn. President Chadbourn reported that, according to the request of the cham ber, the city authorities had the streets cleaned for the meeting of the South ern Baptist Convention and kept thlein clean during its session here fai May. CoTcnel Walker Taylor, chairman of 'the Southern Baptist Convention com mittee, was granted time to make a report, he having been absent from the city and not being able to prepare it for this meeting. Mr. "W. M. Curnmtng, of the commit; tee appointed to raise funds for the reception given by the" chamber at Nashville, reported, and the committee was continued to collect the balance of the subscriptions made. Mr. M. W. Jacob! called attention 'to the baid condition of the road On Ea gles Island 'between the Market street ferry and the Brunswick riyer bridge, and urged the chamber to take steps 'towards having it repaired by the Brunswiclh Brfd'ge and Ferry Company, which he said was violating 4t3 char ter in not keeping it tn proper re pair. - , Colonel Walker Taylor stated that he was president of the company, and that while the road had been In bad condition, the company had! recently had it repaired. Mr. W. M. Cu'mimlng said be was secretary of the compaily, and that about $1,500 (Wad been . expended in. the past six months in! improving the road. He said it was a singular fact that this road had sunk from time to time and was continuing to sink all the way across the Island, owing to the fact that the island is made earth. Mr. Jacob! contended that the road could be improved still more, and in further speaking of the matter said it Would be t)a the advantage of the city to have this ferry made a free road and ferry. After a general discussion, Mr. T. F, Bagley, moved that the chairman appoint a committee to confer with the authorities of New Hanover and Bruns wick counties and the Brunswick ties and made a free bridge and ferry. The motion was adopted and the Bridge and Ferry Company with a view to its being purchased by the two coun president appointed as such committee Messrs. T. F. Bagley, M. W. Jacobi, D. L. Gore, and J. B. Mercer. On motion of Mr. Cumming, President Chadbourn was added to the committee. Mr. Cumming said the Brunswick Bridge and Ferry Company, although it was a paying investment, was willing to sell Its property. He stated that it was capitalized at $16,000 and there was outstanding $2,500 of bonds secured by mortgage. Mr. D. L. Gore said he would not favor its ""purchase at $18,500, and thought that was too much for the property. He. however, favored the proposition to purchase it and make it free, at a reasonable price. On motion of Mr. Gore, the president appointed Mr. Gore and Captain H. K. Nash a committee to confer with the city authorities about keeping a police man on the west side of the river, and to take steps towards having the rot ten roofs of the sheds replaced with Iron or tin roofs, as in the event of fire the flying shingles would endanger the city. Mr. J. B. Mercer called attention to the fact that the office of the govern ment engineers would be removed to Southport during the summer and urged that efforts be made to influence Captain Craighill, chief of engineers, not to have the office removed. The matter was left to Chairman Chad bourn. The chamber then adjourned. Get a Move on Yon.
