from the second story of the building
Knowing Mrs. McVey was alone in the
house, he, with several other men, forced
open the front door before sending in an
alarm Of fire. The building was full OF
smoke so dense that mans hand could
not be seen foot distant The officer
cried to the woman, but receiving no re-
ply, bonnd a handkerchief about his face
and made his way up the stairs, expecting
at every moment u tongue of fire would
meet him.
But he continued his perilous undertake.

saw that the fire was in the room occupied
by Mrs. McVey. The officer cried again
but no answer came, whercupon he EN-
tered the burning room and lifted Mrs.
McVey tenderly from her bed. She
was unconcious. He carried her
to the sidewalk and hastily summoned

In the meantime still alarm was sent

A SUCCESSFUL
BANQUET.

"A Delightful Occasion-En-
trancing Music and Speeches
by Eminent Men.
One of the most brilliant assemblages
ever gathered together in our city, sat
down last evening in the dining room OF
the Clayton House, it being the annual
banquet Of the Board Of Trade.
The dining room, was handsomely and
tastefully trimmed with smilax, entwined
with different colored electric lights,
while the seven tables were decorated with
cut flowers and potted plants, which with
snowy table linen gave the surroundings
an appearance of fairy land. An orchestra
concealed beyond bower of palms en-
livened the serving Of the different courses
with popular selections of music
Some one hundred and fifty gentlemen
sat down to the banquet, which was
served in good style. After two hours and
half of time had been consumed in
slowing away the good things of this life,
the attention of those present was called
TO the fact that the hour had arrived for
speech making and the reading of regrets
from the distinguished gentlemen who
were unable to be present. Mr.. Edward
M Hopes acted as POSTMASTER
He was down to respond to the toast
"Our Board of Trade" He responded
in such manner that everybody thought
he had some one near at hand to coach
him his speech. His efforts were greeted
with prolonged applause.
Senator George Gray's toast was 1.-THE
Greater Wilmington; Wilmington has
been progressing; not with the swistnesS
of a Western boom town, but in steady
conservative honest way 1t has not been "
speculative growth or one based on specu
lation, but it has been marked by the
sturdy conservatism of its business men,
and OF which | am proud. The greater
Wilmington is sure to come and to bring
with it broader, greater and more pro-
gressiVe city.
Wilmington's natural advantages can
not be eXcelled. Its site Is one of the
handsomcst that can be found anywhere
He spoke 1.-THE greater Wilmington reach.
ing the river front when the loWlands Of
tho East will be dotted with factories and
workshops. His speech was warmly APP
plauded.
Hon. Henry r. Gibson member of Cong
ress from tho Second district of Tennessee
responded to the toast, American Com
mercc." He had warm spot in his
heart for Wilmington owing to being q
resident Of our city for several months in
1850 being then connected with the U. S.
army. Wilmingtons geographical posi-.
ton should be the means Of its becoming
Il great city.
We must acquire the dominion of the
ocean and have ships flying the American
flag in every cline where thoro is suf.
tlcient water to float Il ship, His remarks
were pertinent and to the point.
