finding out that real estate is the safest
and lest thing in which TO put their money.
Among the most desirable property to be
sold to-day is the 2-story brick residence,
No. A TAYLOR, fronting south on Whitfield
square. This is @ we'll arranged. c,mforC-
able residence, in a very pretty and popu-

A very valuable block OF 2-story resi-
dences on the corner of Duffy and West
Broad streets will be sold. This property
has a large frontage on two very important
streets, with electric cars on both streets
The store on the corner of the lane is recog-
nizad as a first-rRte business stand. The Ell
tire property rents for nearly $40 per
month, which can be increased. This is Il
splendid investment, one, which in grow
ing city like this, will increase rapidly in
value
There are also three houses in Yemacraw,
including a very important business corner,
Bryan and Lumber streets. There are three
houses which go with this property, which
Is located in a section known as one OF the
best renting localities in the city. AS u
business corner there are few better, and
the day is not far distant when that entire
section will be absorbed by manufacturing
interests. Investors should " atch this piece

To-day is great day with the real estate
auctloueers and with investors, and large
crowd is expected at the court house. The

The Vessel Adrift a Month Without
R1ddsr or Sails.

The Vessel Adrift Month Without
R1ddsr or Sails.
The story of the schooner Jennie Thomas
was received yesterday morning by mail
from New YORK. The vessel was on q vay-
age from Baltimore FOR this port, and was
towed into New York by the tug Talisman
March 80 As she Is largely owned here the
incidents Of her forty days voyage are Of in
terest to her o. 9ers and the many friends
OF Capt. Townsend Young, who has cons
mand Of the vessel and is also an owner in
her.
Capt. Young writes that his trouble
began OF Cape Lookout Feb. 81, three DAYS
after leaving Baltimore, when her jibboom
aud head soils were carried away. teh. %
she lost her rudder, and March her main
boom and sail. Thus the vessel became I'M
manageable, and with o succession OF heavy
gales from the north aud west she was
blown of shore as far as long 81 80. She
then drifted around Tor q mouth, bong
without head sails, could not use q fair
wind when she got it., could oalY make
a course with the wind abeam, and could
neither wear nor tack ship except as sho
could get a sea that would help throw her
round.
Under these conditions tho situation was
one of considerable danger, altho ga the
vessels hull was not materially damaged.
She finally got within the r2ngs Of New
York tugs cruising outside and was towed
inside Sandy Hook and up to the city by
the tug TaIisman. II has not yet bsen de-
clded whether the vessel and cargo will
complete the vOysgs together or terminate
it BY the sale of the cargo at New York.

The Necessity tor an Inspection Of
Plumbers Work.
The opening of q choked sewer pipe on
Duffy street near Whitaker yesterday
brought to light q death trap. Of which
here are hundreds in the city. A sewer pipe
leading from a yard closet became clogged
and the c.oset oyerhJwed. Plumber
UArien made an investigation
which led to the discovery that the pine,
after crossing the lot, led into another pipe
on the adjoining lot and was thus supposed
to discharge into the Duffy street sewer.
Instead there was no outlet to the pipe
at all.
The plumbers in laying the pipe and maxi
ing the connection between the pipes from
the two houses on adjoining lots had, in re-
ducing the size of the pipe at
the connection, showed q small sized
pipe into the larger ore, completely
shutting off the outlet from one of the
houses. The pipe was laid four years ago
when the houses were built, and the filth
from the closet had accumulated in the pipe
until it was filled from the connection with
the larger sewer clear to the closet. The
badly cemented joints had allowed
the water to ooze through into the
soil. but the solid substance remained. The
pipe being underground, of course its con-
dition was not discovered until the closet
was choked up. The health of the occu-
pants of the house had been menaced for
four years, through the criminal neglect or
carelessness Of the plumbers who laid the
tewer.
Similar cases are reported every week.
This condition of affairs emphasizes the
necessity for a rigid inspection of all
plumbing by experts The creation of the
Office of Inspector of plumbing by the city
is recognized by the courcil, which some
time ago adopted resolutions providing for
for an Inspector. No provision, however,
was made in the last budget for
maintaining the office, and nothing further
has been done. The Master Plumbers As
ISOLATION, branch Of which was recently
organized here, Is urging the appointment OF
an inspector as a necessary step to secure
sanitary plumbing Under O thorough
supervision of an inspector dangers like
that unearthed on Duffy street yesterday
would be avoided.
