Value of a Single Month's For eign Shipment of Cotton from Wilmington. EIGHT STEAMERS IN ALL Seven Remain in Port Haxby Sails To day New of toe Markets and the Shipping Yacht Roamer Here Bound Soath Notes. The foreign exports of cotton from this port during; the month of Sep tembar are unprecedented in the com merciai nisiory 01 tne city, and are I 1 1 sufficiently large to make Wilmington up to this time rank third of all the port in the United SUUw. Thia tUle meat is accordiotr to local Customs officials, who were asked about the matter yesterday. The exact export figures for the month are 74,340 bales.

valued at $3,317,360, and this was car ried in eight big tramp steamers 9,135 bales to Liverpool; 89,643 bale3 to Bremen. Germany, and 5,562 to Ghent, Belgium. Last year during: the corresponding month only one steamer had been cleared, and that carried only 5,873 bales, valued at 1351,500. Tne difference in the figures is amazing1, and is accounted for partly in the fact that the year's crop is much earlier than usual. In ad dition to the month's foreign exports of cotton the Britishlateamer Torgorm carried a cargo of sum logs to Scot land, which runs the total exports up to 13,346,534.

The eighth cargo for the month was cleared on the British steamer Haxby, Capt. UppertoD, which will sail this morning for Bremen with 11,353 bales, valued at $510,000. With the passing out of the Haxby, two other steamers came yesterday to take her making; seven In all in port. The ar rivals were the British steamer Veleta, 1.3-?7 iSQr, Capt. McMoran, from Norfolk for cotton, and the British tramp Plympton, 1,850 tons, Capt.

Moon, from Hamburg to Heide with a cargo of kainit for the Virginia- Carolina Chemical Co. The receipts of cotton yesterday were only 3,658 bales, against 2,535 on the same day last year. Harlor Master's Monthly Retort. The monthly report of Capt. Edgar D.

Williams, harbor master, shows arrivals of vessels of 90 tons and over during the month of September to ti number of 30. Fourteen of these were foreign tramp steamers, with a combined tonnage of 25,563. La3t year only 8 steamers were reported during the same month. The arri vals of American vessela consisted of 9 steamers of 10,340 tons displacement; one bare of 3,000 tons and six schoon-era of 2,695 tons. The total Of American vessels was 16; foreign 14; American tonnage foreign tonnage 25.563.

Grand total tonnage, 41,603. Last year the grand total tonnage of all vessels for September was only 27,463 and ln number of all vessels was only 22. Almost as good showing is made ia comparison with Sept. 1900.

oc 1 tf LOUISVILLE NASHVILLE. Member of J. P. Morgan's Firm Admitted the Deal Last Night Details Are Only Meagre as Yet. That the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company has taken over the Louisville and Nashville is now a certainty.

The announcement does not come from Coast Line sources, but from the controllers of the acquired system. The following Associated Press telegram re ceivod from New York tells the news: "New. York, Sept. 30. It was stated on reliable authority to-day that J.

P. Morgan exercised their option on tho Gates-Hawley holdings of Louis villq, and Nashville stocks and that this Stock had been transferred to Atlantic Coast Line interests. "In announcing the close of the Louisville and Nashville deal George W. Perkins of J. P.

Morgan said "The Atlantio Coast Line Company is going to shares of Louisville and Nashville stock. A syndicate has bean formed to take over the shares, and the terms as previously announced, $150 per share were correct." "Mr. Perktns would hot say what provision had been made for the protection of the minority interest, bul it was staled by aaother member of the Morgan firm that the rights of every shareholder in that company would be conserved." SAD DEATH OP A YOUNG BOY. Master Qeorge William Dent PasBed Away Yesterday The Funeral To-day. Numerous friends in the city and elsewhere will deeply sympathize with the sorely bereayed family in the sad death of Master George William Dent, the 15-year-old son of Mrs.

Ajidie Dent, which occurred at 5:50 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the family resi dence, No. 311 Campbell street, after seven weeks' illness with typhoid fever. George would have been fifteen the 12th day of October and was enter ing upon a young manhood of bright promise. He was good-natured, jovial, generous, and had other qualities which drew to nim a circle of young friends in which he will be sadly missed. He was the pride of his mother's heart and to him his next brother, Mel vin Dent, and his two half brothers, Messrs.

W. R. and J. L. Mid dle ton, were especially devoted.

He was a member of Miss Mary Culbreth's Sunday school class in Grace M. E. Church, and there he gained the first knowledge which has secured for him a place in Heaven. His death is one of the snddest that has occurred in Wilmington for some time. The funeral will be conducted from Grace Church at 4 o'clock this afternoon and the remains will be Is id to rest in Oakdale.

"A RUNAWAY MATCH." Praised by Raleigh Press Coming Here Thursday Night. To-morrow night at the Academy of Music the breezy comedy, "A Runaway Match," will be presented by an excellent company. The press praises both the play and players, the Raleigh Neivs and Observer saying: 'A Runaway Match," at the Acad emy of Music last night, was a side-splitter, and a clean one at that. The mix-ups are ludicrous, and will make you laugh, whether you will or no. The wonder was how they ever got straight.

They make you forget all your troubles for awhile, and that is goodly praise. The parts were well taken and everything was cleverly done. "The vaudeville acts by members of the company were exceedingly clever and served to relieve the continued merriment." This morning seats will b9 on sale at the Academy's down-town box office at Plummer's. PRETTY HOME WEDDING LAST NIGHT, Miss Kate C. Monroe Joined in Marriage to Mr.

J. B. Barnes. At the residence of the bride's pa rents, Mr. and Mrs.

John W. Monroe, No. 316 North Second street, a very pretty wedding service was performed last night at 9 o'clock by the Rev. Dr. A.

D. McClure, pastor of St. Andrew's Presbyterian church, when Miss Kate C. Monroe was led to the hymenial altar by Mr. James B.

Barnes, or-raerly of Birmingham, now a valued employe of the A. C. L. in the coach building department. The home was very prettily deco rated and brilliantly lighted for the ceremony, which was followed by an elaborate wedding supper.

The at tendants for the service were Miss Julia T. Hand, cousin of the bride, maid of honor; Mr. James W. Monroe, brother of the bride, best man, and ittle Will Galpin Monroe, nephew of the bride, ring beearer. Only relatives and a few invited friends were present to witness the charming event.

Mr. and Barnes will reside at No. 312 North Second street. Low Rates to Washington and New Tors. To Washington and return $10.00.

Atlantic National Bank a Stronx Factor in Local Financial World The Atlantic National Bank, as will be seen by its advertisement in to day's Stab, is celebrating this month its tenth anniversary. The figures submitted reflect, indeed, a signal de gree of prosperity for that institution, whose assets have grown to throwing perfect security around its depositors. The confidence in which it is held by the business interests throughout this southeastern sec tion is evidenced by its enormous de posits of $1,375,000. Since the last installment of the capital stock was paid in October, 1892, iho Atlantic National Bank has returned to its stockholders the vast amount of $145,000, being $20,000 more than they paid in. There small wonder that the stockholders are so thoroughly satisfied with their in vestment in this bank.

The payment to the. 'stockholders of this large amount has, however, in no way interfered with the accumulation of a largo surplus which now amounts to $155,000, a bulwark of strength in itself. The Atlantic National is a home institution in every sense of the word. and the citizens have contributed their share to its wonderful success. The officers are J.

S. Armstrong, president; Andrew Morelaud, cashier, and J. W. Tates, assistant cashier; all residents of Wilmington. The bank has always lent its aid to the promotion and advancement of any local enterprise needing financial assistance and its influence has been felt in various channels of trade and commerce.

One year ago. the Star is informed, the deposits of this bank were to-day they exceed that figure by $185,000, and the month of October, 1902, finds the bank better prepared than at any time in its his tory to satisfy the demands and care for the needs of its large line of customers.

'NIQQER AT A MINSTREL He Sat In the Very Front Row" and That Caused His Arrest. John Wilson, a negro who drives a baggage wagon for Messrs. Orrell Carroll, had a seat in the "peanut gallery" for the Black PattI performance in the Academy of Music Monday night.

He was detected by Police man Willis in spitting down on white persons occupying half of the parquet and was forthwith arrested and locxed up. Yesterday at noon he was brought s-afore the Mayor and Herbert Mc- Clammy, counsel for the Academy management, asked that he receive the full penalty of the law, at the same time explaining the heinous-ness of the offence. The Mayor gave the prisoner 30 days on the roadi. Wilson most sol- avers that he was perspiring instead of expectorating; that he held hat under his chin to keep it from trickling off his face and falling below and that so great was the jam twhind him in the "buzzard roost" that he could not have moved an Inch th house had been on fire.

Most of the Business Houses Will Re main as They Now Stand Lists as Furnished by Wilmington's En terprising Agencies. To-day Oct. 1st is moving day. The furniture van is abroad in the land and to-morrow those whom you have known as neighbors before, you will know no more. At least that is the condition that will be thrust to-day upon most sections of the city where renting is done to any extent.

Real estate men say there are fewer changes this year than ever before and this is especially true of business houses. With the advance in rates, when removals are made, and the great cost of this and that little thing that has to be prqvided for the new abode that was not required in the old, people find ft less expensive to remain where they are. Witha view to finding out where everybody will be at home after to-day and letting their friends know the same, a reporter visited the real estate agencies yester day procured the following list which will be found pretty nearly, if uot entirely, correct: Maj.

ALDERMEN GRANT PRIVILEGE Use of Sections of Front and Market Streets Allowed Them More Ma chlnery for Rock Quarry To Lease Chesnnt Dock. Upon a request In writing from Al dermen Johnson, Bailey and Von- Glahn and a call by the Mayor in pur suance of the same, a special meeting of the Board of Aldermen was held last night for the purpose of considering the erantine to the Pythians the use of certain streets for their carnival In November; hearing a proposition -anr TIT iram messrs. weeaon ox manner in regard to the purchase of additional machinery for the rock quarry, and for considering a proposition from Mr B.

F. Keith to lease the city dock at foot of Chesnut street and section of the thoroughfare leading to the same from Water Btreet. The request of the Pythians was granted, but the other propositions were referred to the Streets and Wharves Committee for report and recommendation at the regular meeting Monday night. At last night's session Mayor Wad aait presided ana an members were in attendance, viz: Messrs. Bailey, Johnson, VonGlahn, Spencer, Mann, weeney, Hashageij, Murrell, Tiencken and Cooper.

No matters outside those named in the call were allowed to be introduced except by unanimous con sent and that could not be obtained. The petition of the Pythians for use of the streets was presented by Messrs. W. H. Yopp and T.

D. Meares, who explained that the fair was for a benevolent and charitable object, therefore they would ask that the ex hibitions be free of tax, a conces sion which was granted to the Elks last seasoD. They said they desired to use for carnival purposes Front between Walnut and Orange streets and Market between Water and Third streets. The privilege was unanimous- granted. It was understood that the streets would be cleaned by the Py thians of all debris left by the various shows when the carnival is over.

Messrs. Weedon Skinner submit ted a communication in which they said that they find that the machinery at the rock quarry is inadequate to the work required by their contract with the city as they desired to comply in every respect witn tne contract tbey would submit the following 'We will put in sufficient ma chinery and at the expiration of our contract, we will give tha city an option to buy it at cost, less wear atd tear, provided the contract is ex- tended for two years bsyond its pres ent time of expiration, all the terms and considerations of the present contract to remain in force except the one as to duration. We believe it to be to the best interest of both par ties to the contract to do this and we therefore, request you to agree to it." The matter was referred as before stated to the S. W. Committee for report at the regular meeting Monday night.

Mr. Keith made application in writ ing to Uhairman Jonnson, or tne Streets and Wharves Committee, for the use of Chesnut street dock and that part of the thoroughfare leading to Water street, which he said was not now in use and is a menace to the pub lic. Mr. Keith agrees to rebuild the wharf and pay the city $50 per year for for a term of eight years. This propo sition likewise went to the committee after a somewhat lengthy discussion of the city wharf problem in general, during which Mayor Waddell took occasion to say that he believed it not to the interest of the city to own any of the docks.

"The sooner we get rid of this incu bus the, better," said he. "The docks are out of repair, dilapidated and dangerous. We get nothing for them and therefore can ill afford to bear the expense of their repair. They are likely to get the city into all kinds of trouble." He did not speak, however, with particular reference to Mr. Keith's proposition, in which it was agreed that there were some objections.

Mr. Tiencken thought the price too low and the Mayor and several members of the board thought all streete should be open and at the disposition of -the public. Mr. Mann called attention to the blocked condition of the wharves the southern section of the city. Mr.

Sweeney inquired about the Market street dock fire arrangement, and Mr. Cooper, chairman of the Fire Committee, said he had, for the use of the wharf, made the same arrangements as to towing of fire lighters with Capt. J. W. Harper as had formerly existed with Capt.

Ward before he sold the tug Buck. He also explained that Capt. Harper would keep the wharf repaired. Mr. VonGlahn wanted to bring up a mm 1 A ew minor ponce matters, dui unani mous consent could not be had, and an adjournment was taken until Monday night.

Three Charges of Larceny. Nelson Jenkins, charged with the larceny of a pair of pants from Joe Simon, the Syrian, and Carrie Stewart and Mary Crawford, charged with the larceny of an amount of money from a colored man, were lodged in jail by Constable Sheehan yesterday.
