Yesterday Afternoon Mr. 'Archie MeQneeu Passed A war Snndar Evening at WriichtsTille Deaeh Death of Miss Annie Clowe. The numerous friends of Mr. Archie McQueen throughout Wilmington and several surrounding counties, will be pained to learn of his death, which oc curred on Sunday evening at 6 o'clock at Wrightsville Beach, where he had gone two weeks ago with the hope of being benefitted. The devoted wife, who has tenderly nursed him through a long illness, was with him when he passed away. The remains were brought to the city and taken to the family residence at 20S North Seventh street. The funeral will take place 'at 10 o'clock this morning at the First Presbyterian church and the interment be made at Oakdale cemetery. Mr. McQueen was stricken with paralysis on the 16th of July, 1896, and has gradually declined during these six years. He was temporarily bene fitted by his stay at the beach, but his system had been too wrecked to ex pect for recovery, although he was al ways cheerful and hoped to get well. The deceased was the son of the late Neill McQueen, of the Rockfish section. Cumberland county. He was born in Moore county, near Jonesboro, and was in the 58th year of his age- He went to Cumberland county when a boy, and during the civil war served gallantly in the Confederate army, having en listed in Captain (Rev.) James Mc Neill's cavalry company from Cumber land county. He was severely shot through the left thigh on one of the bloody battlefields of Virginia. After returning from the war. Mr. McQueen went Into business and for many years he and his brother, the late Mr. WIN Ham McQueen, did a large mercantile business at Plainview, Robeson coun ty. Their business was one of the most extensive in Eastern Carolina and extended into South Carolina as well as in North Carolina. When the Atlantic Coast Line's "short cut" rail road was built, the town of Rowland was established in two miles of Plainview and their store was removed to that place. The firm was dissolved upon the death of Mr. William Mc Queen and the illness of the surviving brother prevented him from further carrying on the business. Mr. McQueen was a business man of fine capacity, and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. His only sur viving brother is Mr. Peter McQueen, a prominent citizen of Red Springs, Robeson county. He married Miss Annie B. Douglas, of Almont, near Ottawa. Canada, and she survives him with three children Isabella, Harry and Percy, aged respectively, 13, 10 and 8 years. He has one nephew here, Mr. Peter McQueen, Jr., who is in thewhole sale grocery business at 108 N. Water street. The deceased came here and spent a year under treatment and since October last has made his resi dence in Wilmington. The breaved family has a large cir cle of acquaintances who deeply sym pathize with them in their bereave ment. (.'APT. JAMES G. DANIEL. We are sorry to note the death of Captain James Daniel, which occurred yesterJay afternoon at 5 o'ciock at his residence 1023 North Third street, at the corner of Davis street. Eight weeks ago he was stricken with in flammatory rheumatism and has been confined to his residence. Last Wed nesday he appeared much better and yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock, was sitting on the piazza talking cheerfully with his family. Saying he had been out long enough. he retired to his room. In a short while his heavy breathing attracted the notice of his family and when they went into the room he was unconscious and passed away in a few minutes. Captain Daniel was born in North hampton county, N. C, February 26, 1S25, and at his last birthday was 77 years of age. For fifty years or more he has been a locomotive engineer and was one of the oldest engineers in the south and the . oldest Brotherhood member. He came to Wilmington forty years ago and ran on the Carolina Central Rairoad twelve years. He then entered the employ of the Atlantic Coast Line, and has served that sys tem up to his death. He was a man who could always be depended on and was always faithful and careful in the discharge of his duties. He ran an engine up to three years ago, when, on account of his age, he could not get in and out of his engine. He was then employed as a watchman about the yards and was as faithful in the dis charge of that duty as he had been as an engineer with the lives of thous ands of people and much property in his hands. He was a man of thorough honesty and integrity "and had the confidence of all who knew him. He had a devoted family and their attentions to him were unremitting and beautiful. He leaves a wife and three children Mrs. C. G. Terry, Mr. J. W. Daniel, chief engineer at the Angola Lumber Company's saw mill, and Mrs. John W. Blomme. Deep sympathy is felt for them In their sore bereavement. The funeral will take place at 10 o'clock this morning at the residence' and the interment will be made in Oakdale cemetery.

SIX RESIDENCES VISITED YES TERDAY MORIIIilC. . Mr. E. V. 3IeKenmle'a Residence, on the Southeast Corner of Elffbth and I)oek Street, Entered Tbe Hor Rlar Got Ilia Panta In Tiro Feet of Ilia Head and Carried off a Pocket book Containing: $30 Other Oar Klarlea. A burglar, or probably a gang of them, were On the rounds in Wilming ton between Sunday night and day yes terday morning. So far as the returns are in six residences were visited and in one of them the burglar got a good haul. Mr. E. V. McKenzic, the we;i known carpenter who worka at the Atlantic Coast Line shops, resides on the oouth- east corner of Eighth and Dock streets. He got up early yesterJay morning to go to work and about C a. m.. when he went to get a pocket book from the pants which he had on Sunday, the pocket book and Its contents of $30 in money, besides receipts, was missing. He looked round to see if he had drop ped his pocket book and in doing so discovered that he had been visited by a burglar. He had entered through the parlor from the front piazza and once inside he carefully set back a table and several chairs so as t make a clear way out if he were discovered. After getting into the parlor the burglar went through a door into the passage and thence into Mr. McKen zie's room at the rear of the parlor. Mr. McKenzie's pants were on the chair in two feet of his head, so the bold thief went right to the bedsiie to commit the robbery. The window of Mr. McKen zie's room opens on Eighth street and as it was a very warm night it was left open. Mrs. McKenzie slept with her head near the window and she woke up about 3 o'clock deathlv sick. It is be lieved that she had been chloroformed through the open window. Mr. McKen zie slept with his head at the front of the bead and doesn't think he was chloroformed but is satisfied his wife was dosed. At any rate neither of them were aroused by the burglar. The robbery occurred between 2 and 3 o'clock yesterday moining, judging by the experience of several of Mr. Mc Kenzie's neighbors. Mr John Baker's house 710 Dock street a half block away was entered, but the burglar got only some tobacco from his pants. At Captain Thos. H. Johnson's residence on Seventh and Dock streets, a small lad der used in the flower garden was found leaning against an open window. If the burglar succeeded in getting in, he did not get any thing. An attempt was also made to enter Mr. Jos. H. Hanby's residence on the southwest corner of Eighth and Dock streets, and two at tempts were made on the residence of Mr. John II. Ottaway at 70S Dockstreet. Between 2 and 3 a. m.. Mrs. Ottaway heard some one trying to break in and she awoke her husband and handed him a pistol. They saw a man run away from one of the windows. In an hour the sneak had the temerity to re turn and was frightened away the second time. On north Seventh street near Chest nut street about 1 o'clock yesterday morning, another residence was visited but the burglar was frightened away. Now that the weather is warm and windows are up, burglars will no doubt be regularly on their rounds. It would be well for the people or the city to toe on their guard. YIott It la Done.
