President Taylor presided and Supt.

A. W. Anderson of the Coast Line, General Agent Connell of the Seaboard and other railroad men were present to present their views of the situation and to outline to the business men certain changes of methods that are proposed to be inaugurated that they think will result in more ast-isfactory traffic. The matters were talked over informally and the railroad people and members of the Chamber arrived at a better understanding of conditions that it is believed will result in a relief of the situation. Aside from the congestion freights the railroad people also heard complaints as to delayed settlement of claims 5n that department of the service.

Many of the merchantg gave personal experiences of having to wait more than a year for the adjut-ment of perfectly legitimate claims that were formerly handled at the Wilmington headquarters in three days. Mr. P. R. Albright, assistant to General Manager Royal from Whom a letter was read, was present and spoke of the general situation.

Judge Meares had been a great sufferer with heart trouble for some time and for the past six months had been practically an invalid. The end came not unexpectedly for the past two days his life had been hanging, as it were, in the balance and the summons was awaited at any moment.

Judge Meares was the best type of the old Southern gentleman, courtly in his bearing, of fine intellect, positive yet deferential in his opinions and a man of the highest sense of honor. His presence in the community will be missed. Judge Meares was born in this city February 24th 1828 and was, therefore, in the 79 th year of his age. He was the sixth son of William B. Meares and Catherine G.

Davis, his father being distinguished in his day as an advocate at the bar, planter and statesman. His mother was a daughter of General Thomas Davis, an officer in the war of J12 and prominent in this-part of the State as a Hawyer and as a leader of men.

Taylor, on Princess street, early last night The negro had gone into the entrance of the Smith building and in the rear of the staircase, which obstructs the view from the street, had removed a transom and let himself down into the store. He had no time to make off with anything before Mr. John Poole, who was in the cigar store of Messrs.

Middleton Oldham adjoining, discovered that some one was entering the store and made outcry. The negro ran out to the front door, let himself out by the night latch and fled down the street, two or three in pursuit. As the negro ran down to Front and Princess and turned the corner at A. IShrier's store, some one shouted "Stop, and the pursuing party was augmented by everybody in earshot, including a large number from the pool room of Gerken's cigar store in the Purcell building. The negro crossed the street and ran down the Masonic alley, the crowd running to every approach to the block and hemming him in completely.

The negro, however, had the speed of fcgo paper: "A sensa- 1 heated the other night be- Aldermen This Afternoon.

The Legislature will be asked to supplement an appropriation for this pur pose. The Chamber endorsed a movement in the State to get the forthcoming Legislature to repeal the Homestead law. The President was asked to appoint a committee to confer with the veterans of Fort Fisher in regard to the proposed re-union of the Blue and Gray on the grounds of the memorable engagement next January.
