NEW YORK, December 10.-The

The market here was painfully quiet
to-day, the impending settlement and
the holiday lassitude of Christmas are
being anticipated. Even in the Amer
lean department which has been so ac-
tive interest is waning. The dizziness
is hardly varied at all, except in the
preferred shares of Erie, which are be-
ing bought by professional spectators
on the theory that their dividends will
be squeezed out somewhat to help che
marketing OF the general lien bonds,
which must be sold to enable the COM

the teachers, as they mingle with the
people generally, will speak OF the
place as a summer resort and OF Will
mington as metropolis and only seaport
city Of the state. Indeed, their visit
here, combined with b entertainment
which they will certainly receive at
the hands of the Wilmington people.
will go a long way toward putting the
city in closer touch with the other Sec
tons of the state, an end very greatly
to be desired.
If the committee receives the hearty
response to their appeal to citizens for
entertainment, and surely there can be
no doubt that they will, they will pro-
coed to formulate plans for special
features of entertainment for the as
sembly people. There Is no doubt that
there will be a free excursion out to
| sea On the Wilmington, a special trip
to Wrightsville beach on the Seacoast
railroad and General Manager Skeld-
ing has signified his intention OF ten
dering them a free trolley party over
the line of the Wilmington street rail-
| way. Certain it is that the traditional
lower Cape Fear hospitality which has
always characterized Wilmington in
the entertainment of her guests will be
accorded them if the teachers Of the
state come to this city to hold their
1900 assembly meeting.

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while await
ing the arrival Of the doctor. An AL
bany On. V dairyman called at a
drug store there for a doctor t o come
and see his child, then very sick with
Group. Not finding the doctor in, he
left word for him to come at once on
his return. He also bought a bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which
he hoped would give some relief until
the doctor should arrive. In a few
hours he returned. saying the doctor
need not come, as the child was much
better. The druggist, Mr.. Otto Scholz,
says the family has since recommend
ed Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to
their neighbors and friends until he
has a constant demand for it from that
part Of the country. For sale by r. R.

CAPTAIN BRANCH'S FALL.
Thing in North Entrance to COur
House Broke Through With Him In
jurieS Painful but Not Serious.

Captain j. w. Branch, the accommo-
dating and efficient ~janitor at the court
house, sustained very painful injuries
yesterday afternoon. A portion of the
flooring in the vestibule at the north
entrance of the court house broke
through while be was standing upon
it, and he fell through into the cellar,
a depth Of about twelve feet. He was
gotten out as quickly as possible and
Pigford attended him.
The thing on the entire first floor of
the court house has been rather uneven
and parts of it unsettled for some time
past, especially that in the vestibule
in question. Captain Branch went out
into the vestibule about 8 o'clock to
see if he could find out what waS the
matter. Several of the pieces of thing
a become loose and he took them
up. Just as he was engaged in pulling
up another piece, the whole place fell
in and Captain Branch, without a mo-
ment's warning, fell to the bottom Of
h cellar with the thing and cement,
and in falling struck an old piece of
scaffold which was left there when the
building was constructed.
Sheriff MacRae, Captain Oldham,
MI. owen fSnnell ana several OInerS
were standing around watching Cap
tain Branch move the thing, but for
~tunately one of them We're on the part
that fell in. Sheriff MacRae got a step
ladder AMI lowered it in the hole and
several of them pulled the wounded
man out. He was badly bruised on his
body n hips and was bleeding freely,
but no bones were broken His escape
from more serious injury was remark
able.
A carriage was secured at once and
he was taken to his home, corner Front
and Castle streets. DR.. E S. Pigford
arrived o after the accident and
went home with him.
The accident was caused by INSULT
cient support under the thing. The few
wooden cross pieces which were put
there for support. were rotten and
there was no other support except the
cohesion of a half incl of cement with
thing a half inch thick on it. Efforts
will be made at once to find out if the
front entrance is in the same condition.
Such a condition of flooring is ex-
tremely dangerous and leeds immedi-
ate attention.
Captain Branch vas resting easy last
night. His wounds, though not serious,
are extremely painful.

Captain o. C. Welt. and the eight
men OF his crew of the American
schooner Isaiah Hart, which ~foundered
at sea last Friday $50 miles S. S. Wy. of
the Frying Pan lightship, arrived in
port yesterday morning on the Norwe-
gian bark Passat. and were immedi-
ately taken in charge by h Seamen's
Friend Society. The Isaiah Hart, a
four masted schooner of S5S tons, with
a crew of i men, sailed from Balt;-
more ON February 18th with a cargo of
1,420 tons of coal for Galveston. On the
following Tuesday, off Hatteras, she
encountered very heavy gales and
rough seas. The wind continued from
the east in great fury and Tuesday af-
ternoon they were obliged to reef down.
The wind continued from the east until
Thursday when it veered around to the
west, continuing to blow a terrible
gale. On that afternoon, March LIST, the
vessel lost her bobStayS n all the
head gear and broke her knightheads,
which opened up all the seams forward
n the water poured in so rapidly it
was impossible to free her with steam
pumps. Finding the vessel sinking very
rapidly, Captain Welt decided to lower
a boat and leave her as quickly as
possible. About 80 minutes after the
captain and crew launched in the small
boat, the vessel sank, bow first.
The crew were almost swept out of
the boat at times and it was with great
difficulty that they managed to breast
the breakers. About five hours after
their schooner had sunk a vessel hove
in sight of the shipwrecked crew and
bore down on them n they were res
cued. The much welcomed ship was
the Norwegian bark PasSat, bound
from Liverpool to Wilmington.
The crew is composed of the follow
ing: Captain O.. c. Welt, First Mate
Jenkins, Second Mate Thornton n six
sailors. They saved only the clothes on
their backs.
AS stated above, the Seamen,s Friend
Society took the crew under their care
and everything possible has been done
to make them comfortable.
Captain Welt has filed al extended
statement of the destruction of the
schooner with Port Warden w. n.
HarrisS.
The seamen Of the shipwrecked YES
sci will probably secure positions on
the vessels now in port through the aid
of the Seamen's Friend Society.
Captain Welt sends the following to
The Messenger:
Editors Messenger:
Il desire to express my heartfelt
thanks to Captain A Aaronsen, master
of the bark Passat, for his heroic con-
duct in rescuing myself and crew from
our yawl boat at sea, n for his kind
and generous treatment of us while on
board of his vessel. / also desire to
express my thanks to the Seamen's
Friend Society for taking such good
care of us in our destitute condition.

fMaStar Schooner JSiah Hart
The schooner Isaiah Hart has visited
this port several times. She was built
at Waldoboro, Maine, in 1886 and had
"A 1" rating, the very best to be had,
for the period of fifteen years. The
owners are J. P. Elicott & Co., Of
Boston.

since we began using Chamberiain's
Cough Remedy in our home. We keep
a bottle open all the time and when
ever any Of my family or myself be-
gin to catch cold we begin to use the

never have to send away for a doctor
