Young men of Wichita, don't repeat this

You say, I intend myself for a painter,
carpenter, salesman, etc. That Is true
but God and destiny may intend you for
a preacher, a statesman. philosopher.

him for the greatest general Of the earth.

Socrates-Most men are fools, Alci-

In all this we have made no exhorta-

itual dominates the physical, and the up

rim OF divinity women will stand the
peer, if not the leader of man.

Officer at the Sea Coast Rail Road
Depot Plundered-Two Arrests

Late Friday night or early yesterday
morning he office at h main depot
Of the Seacoast Railroad, corner Ninth
and Orange streets was broken into
and robbed.
The story gOes as follows:
Friday was pay day with the Sea-
coast Railroad Company and Captain
Edgar Hinton paid out several hundred
dollars TO the train employees, and
placed about s135 in a drawer in the
main office. This action was witnessed
by three of the coIored employees,
among whom was Tom Brown.
Captain Hinton only placed the
money in the drawer temporarily, and
later, in the presence of two of the
men who were there before, transfcrr-
ed the money to theb big iron safe. Tom
Brown at that time was out in the
yard.
About 6 o'clock the regular train
vent down to Wrightsville, and Brown
was on board acting in his capacity of
trainsman.
Yesterday morning, while at Wrights-
Vile, Captain Hinton received a tele-
phone message that the office had been
broken into and a drawer plundered,
several articles, among which was a
handsome pearl handle pistol, a gift
to Captain Hinton, being stolen
Just before the train left WrightS-
Vile for this city Browns wife came
to Captain Hinton and inquired if her
husband had worked the previous
night, saying that he hadn't been home.
Captain Hinton replied in the mega
tive, and thought no more of the mat
ter, as Brown reported promptly for
duty and came to town or the regular
rain.
Upon his arrival Captain Hinton was
informed by the night Waterman at
| the depot that Brown had been lOafing
| around the depot Friday night.
by placing two and two together,
and knowing that the distance from
Wrightsville to Wilmington could be
traversed on foot in one night, or by
various means, Captain Hinton came
to the conclusion that Brown knew
something about the robbery and
| swore out a warrant for his arrest be-
fore Justice Bunting, and he arrest
was made later by Deputy Flynn at
the depot.
When Deputy Flynn arrived at the
| depot Brown remarked to several COM
| panions that he reckOned the officer
had come after him.
A woman named Lizzie Klaw, color
| ed, was also arrested, suspected of re-
ceiving the stolen goods.
Both defendants are in jail, awaiting
a trial in Justice Bunting's court Tues
day.
Nothing was plundered in the rail-
road office except the drawer.

New Cottages for Wrightsville Beach

In addition to the fine cottages that
The Messenger recently mentioned
would be built this season OIL Wrights-
vile Beach, we learn that Mr.. Sol. Bear
will erect another, and that Mr.. S. III.
Fishblate will probably build. Messrs.
Junge & Beck, of Southern Pines, have
bought two lots.
Mr.. George Campbell, of the Sea-
shore Hotel, is expected here this week,
to look after the erection of the pa
vilion, bath houses and annex to the
hotel. The material is already on the
ground to put in the sidetrack in
front of the hotel. 1t will hold ten
cars.
Mr.. Jos. H. McRee, the civil engi-
neer, has finished one preliminary sur
vey for the extension Of the Seacoast
Railroad up the beach towards Moore's
Inlet. He will probably maxi another
survey in a few days, and the one that
suits the directors most will be decid-
ed upon and work will then be COM
menced.

To Dust Another Democrat

Washington, March 12.-House COM
mittee on elections No. 3, by a party
vote, today decided to report in favor OF
unseating William A. Young, represent
ing the Second Virginia district and seat
ing in his stead DR.. r. A. Wise, the re-
publican contestant. Mr.. Young had
p 400 plurality on the face of the returns.
Frauds were generally alleged through
out the district, especially Norfolk. 1t is
claimed that most of the election Off
Gals were democrats and that in many
precincts the votes of the illiterate were
not correctly marked by them. 1t is
charged that cOlored voters We're pre-
vented from voting in many precincts,
not by force, but by keeping them at the
rear of the lines until after the polls
closed. The returns from twenty-five
precincts were thrown out. The demo-
cratic members of the committee will
sign a minority report in favor of Mr..
IOung'S title to the seat.

The Rolling Exposition.

Messrs. Ramseur & Moore's handsome
car CITY of Charlotte,' with the North
Carolina rolling exposition, is justly at
tracing swarms of Wilmingtonians. In
the two days the exposition has been
here about 1900 people nave visited the
car at the Mutt street crossing Of the
Atlantic Coast Line. Our people are
astonished at the magnificent display of
the PRODUCTS of our state.
The exposition is very complete as to
our mineral resources and agricultural
products. but the manufacturing inter-
ests of the state are not represented. we
understand that the cotton mill people
declined to make an exhibit for the rea-
son that they did not care to invite com
petition. This is very narrow-siShted
policy. Two or three hundred more fac
tories built in North Carolina will not
compete any more with the mills already
here tina if they were built in any other
state.
None of our citizens should fail TO
take in the rolling expositian. The ladies
and children are particularly interested
in it. The car will be here only tomor-
row and a part of Tuesday.

The Best of Friends Must Part

The time for parting with that es-
teemed gentleman, Mr.. Charles NJ.
Strong, late local forecast official at
the weather bureau here, is near at
hand. AS we stated yesterday his sue
cessor, Mr.. w. H. Fallon, late local
forecast official at Detroit, Mich, has
arrived and taken charge. Mr.. Strong
consequently has made arrangements
to leave US next Tuesday morning at
$3.50 o'clock for Parkersburg, w. Va,
where he goes as local forecast official.
We are sure we voice the sentiments
Of the people of Wilmington, as we'll
as those of The Messenger, when We
say that we regret to see Mr.. Strong
January, 1886, and during his two
years stay in Wilmington he has made
a fine impression and won a host Of
friends. The weather bureau men are
the cleverest and most genial and &C
commodating set of fellows in the
world, and Mr.. Strong la been spe-
cially so. At the same time, he has
filled his position with efficiency and
faithfulness, and he goes away with
the satisfaction that his services here
have been universally satisfactory.
The Messenger wishes him success in
his new field. While he axes his de-
parture Tuesday, his family will remain
here till May.

A Startling Exhibit

Quite an interest has been excited in
the petrified human body now on ex-
htbition at the northeast corner Of
Front and Market streets. 1t has been
exhibited here a few days by Mrs. E.
]. Taylor and her daughter, Miss NJ. E.
Taylor.
A Messenger representative dropped
in to see the curiosity yesterday, and
while he was there quite a number of
ladies and gentlemen came in to in
spect the wonder. The specimen is
a perfect petrifaction of what was ev-
identity a beautiful woman about 80
years OF age. Her height was ) feet
3 inches and it is presumed that her
weight IN life was about $50 pounds,
though the stone body now weighs 321
pounds. The form is perfect and in
many particulars there is evidence that
the woman was of gentle ancestry.
We learn that this petrified woman
vas discovered in Fresno county, Cali
fOrnia, twenty miles from the nearest
habitation and 1000 feet above the level
of the sea. The body had been buried
near a stream and the water encroach-
ed upon the grave and exposed of
the wrists, leading to the discovery of
the body.
1t is certainly a remarkable thing to
behold.

Debut of Wilmington's Young Hypnotist

Master Milton Breckenridge, Will
mington's youthful .hypnotist, made his
debut at the theatre yesterday after
very large, owing to the Lenten sea-
son and several counter attractions,
yet the appreciation shown was
great" and vouched for the merit of
the performance.
The four young gentlemen, who will
have charge of future entertainments
given by Master Breckenridge, did not
expect a very large audience at the
initiatory performance, and Mr..
Schloss, who always does the proper
caper, kindly rendered the use of his
theatre gratis.
Master breckenridge performance
was wonderful. He hypnotized over
half score of boys and young gentle
men, and made them obey his every
will. Among the amusing feats were
the base ball, poker and crap games.
THE entertainments concluded with an
imaginary balloon ascension, partici-
pated in by all the subjects, and it was
certainly ludicrOus to see the imaginary
b~alloonists waving goodbye and COM
menting on their trip.
One Of the most difficult illustrations
of the power of %hypnotism was when
Master Breckenridge placed n of the
| young gentlemen subjects to sleep and
kept him slumbering for nearly an
hour.
Another performance will be given
one night this week at the theatre,
and the young hypnotist should be
| greeted with a large audience, as the
performance provides innocent amuse-
| ment and is decidedly interesting and
instructive in character.

Not an Ordinary Case

Justice Fowler tried a case decidedly
out of the ordinary yesterday after
noon.
Ed. jefferson, colored, vas placed on
trial charged with assault and battery,
the commission of which Offense the
defendant admitted, but plead former
conviction.
The evidence developed the fact that
jefferson had an alteration with a
colored man named Walter Hill, and
literally tore the Goa which Hill was
wearing in shreds, and then struck
him.
Justice Fowler amended the warrant
so as to charge injury to personal prop
erty, and bound the defendant over to
the next term of the criminal court in
the sum of $50.
jefferson furnished A. J. Walker, col
ored, as b~ondsman, and was released
from custody.

home on Sixth and Orange streets.
Mr.. Niemyer has been on the decline
about three years and nearly two years
ago had to give up his occupation, that
of a locomotive engineer on the VIII
mington and Weldon road. He was a
native of Germany and came to this
country when quite young. He has spent
most of his life in Wilmington and was
one of the Oldest engineers in this city,
his age being 66 years and 5 months.
Mr.. Niemyer in 1928 was an engineer
on the steamers plying between VIII
mington and Charleston, and subse-
quently was engineer on several steam
boats that plyed on the Cape Fear river.
During the civil war he made several
successful trips as engineer IN the block
ade runners coming and going out of
Wilmington, though the blockade main
tanned by the federal fleet. After the
war ne went into the saw mill business
up the Carolina Central, but not sue
ceedfng very we'll in the lumber bust
ness he returned to the city and for the
past twenty years or more has been a
locomotive engineer on the Wilmington
and Weldon railroad.
Mr.. Niemyer was a highly respected
and esteemed citizen and was a member
of st. Johns Lodge No. 1, A. F. & A. NJ,
Of Concord Chapter No. !, r. A. NJ, Of
Plantagenet Commandery No. /, Knights
Templar, and of Germania Lodge No. 4,
knights of Pythias. He was greatly es-
teemed in These organizations and the
Masons and Pythians will attend his
funeral today and lay him away in ac-
cordance with their impressive burial rit-
ualS.
The deceased leaves a wife and one son
and a daughter, who have the deep sym
pathy of many friends in the sad be-
reavement that has come to them. His
son, Mr.. James Niemyer, of Raleigh,
and his daughter, Mrs. Louis Wacks-
muth, were with him through his i'll
ness.
