G. Connor, a night session of court was held and a recess was taken at 10:15 p. m. until this morning. The session was devoted to the reading' of the despositions of members of the crew of the steamship, which were taken several weeks ago.

The morning and afternoon sessions of court were largely consumed in the hearing of the testimony given by Capt. J. J. Anderson, pilot on the steamer from the time she was grounded until the tugs abandoned their efforts to pull the steamer off the bar at the mouth of the Cape Fear where she had grounded. The testimony of the captain filled several stenographic notebooks, the proceedings being taken down by.

SOHOS1S TO LAPHCH CITY BEALTIFI CAMPAIGN SOON A special committee from the North Carolina Sorosis is to inaugurate a campaign to make Wilmington a city of tropical beauty by planting palms, palmettos and pink crepe myrtles throughout the city.

Later the campaign will be extended, and the Sorosis hopes within the course of a few more years to have Wilmington noted as the most, beautiful tropical-like city north of Florida. MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED IN THE CONCERT TO BE GIVEN. Judging from the many nice things which are being said about the coming presentation of the first section of "Elijah" at the auditorium of St.

Andrew's church next Monday evening, the hall will be filled with one of the largest audiences of the season. Ever since the announcement was made that, the Choral Society would present this masterpiece of Mendelssohn in sections, requests have come that they give the different organizations at least one of the evenings. The society regrets that it is impossible to compiy with all of these requests but has to say that the four evenings have already been taken, due announcement of which will be made at the proper time. As the society is not a money-making organization, but is interested in promoting a high class of music in the community, there will be no charge for admission, neither will there be taken any collection. An opportunity will be given all those who attend to make a silver offering as they may feel disposed.

All over the expenses of the Choral Society will go to the Ladies' Missionary Society of St. Andrew's for use in their work. HALL ROSS, Inc. 'PHONES 7-8-140. 205 MARKET ST, Wilmington 9faces Good showing as Compared With Other Cities.
