OFF THE WAYS.

LAUNCH OF THE IRON STEAMSHIP CARO-
LIMA AT THE II. g. H. co.'s YARD.
To day at six minutes of one o'clock
the new iron steamer Carolina, built
for the Old Bay Line of Baltimore,
was successfully launched at the ship
yard of the Harlan & Hollingsworth
Company.
The work of launching commenced
at 1920 o'clock, when the main props
were knocked from under her, after
which The workmen rested until 12. As
when the work of driving the wedges
commenced, which occupied but a few
| minutes when the vessel begain to
move slowly, and increased in speed
until she finally landed in her future
home-the water.
AS her PROV touched the water, Cap
tain Smith broke bottle of wine, which
was decorated in colors over the prov
and IN loud and distinct voice pronour-
ced the name "CGrolind," and then with
one accord those assembled, numbering
several hundred sent up mighty cheer
for her success.
The launch was one of the finest
witnessed in this city for a number of
years, not one mistake being made to mar
its success.
The Carolina is first class passen-
ger and freight steamship, of the fol-
lowing dimensions; Length, 26O feet
breath of beam, moulded, ,35 feet; beam
over guards, 50 feet; depth of hold, Ia
1eet. The machinery will comprise
one working>beam jet condensing
: engine, with a cylinder of 60 inches
bore and IL feet stroke
The hull is of iron and the ieiner
work will be similar to that on the
steamer Florida of the same line. II
Will be handsomely finished in hard
wood, mainly mahogany and French
walnut. and the passenger accomoda
tloas will be fitted up in the most s,I.
? perb style. In fact the vessel, when
completed, will be one of the finest and
pest appointed floating palaces that
ever sailed on the seas.
Inc Carolina is being constructed
Ior The Baltimore Steam Packet Com
pany, and will run between Baltimore
! ana Norfolk on the "Old Bay Line. J.

A Smyrna Forger.
A SERIES OF SHREWD OPERA.
TIONS-A WILMINGTONIAN.
VICTIMIZED.

Wm. T. Beck, q young man of respec.
table connections, late resident OF
Smyrna, where he leaves q wife and two
small children. has departed for places
unknown, and several forgeries are
traced to him, The Smyrna Times gives
the following particulars:
| A check for 1926 came to tha Fruit
| Growers National Bank here, for collec-
tion, from the First National of Will
mington. The check purported to be
from ]. e. Tygert Il Co. to j. G. Bowers.
by W. Il. Beck, John Merrick and the
First National Bank of Wilmington.
The officers of the new Bank here at
once suspicioned that the signature OF
Tygert & Co. was not genuine. and upon
inquiry we're assured Of the fact by Mr..
L. 1t seems that Beck forged the check
and went to Merrick's in Wilmington,
and offered it in payment for cheap
carriage. Mr.. Merrick declined to ac-
cept the check unless young Beck would
get some responsible person TO identify
him. This Beck succeeded in doing-a
Mr.. Pardee, formerly of Sudlersville,
Md, who knowing the young mans
father. at once expressed full confidence
in the character of the youth and the
genuineness of the check. So Mr.. Mer-
TICK gave tne carriage ana t1UU IN money
for the check. But Beck left the car
riage and went to Philadelphia. The
next day check for $25 also came to
tho new Bank here from Philadelphia
for collection. 1t perported to be from
Henry p. Massey 20 VIM. T. Beck, and
Beck bought a suit of clothing with it
from Yates & Co., the large establish
men5 in the Ledger building, Robt. S.
Wiids Ia former Smyrnian) one of the
head statesmen for the clothing house,
very naturally accepted the check, as he
knew both the holder and giver of it,
and believed the former to be as square
a man as the latter. But Mr.. Massey's
name was forgery, and Yates's clothing
like Merrick's carriage and money. were
obtained by forged signatures.
Beck has not since been heard from. |
Detective Legg, of Wilmington, was
here on Monday looking for him. Yes
terday Hiram E. Lutz. the extensive |
poudrette dealer of Philadelphia, was
also looking for him. He had been act
ing as agent here for Mr.. Lutz, and |
managed to fleece him to the tune of
$500. He furnished Beck with horse
and carriage, last year, and Beck sold it
N Milford last fall. He also collected
number of bills and made no returns to
Mr.. l..
