After many years of i'll health, Capt.
Charles E. Hawley. U. s. N, retired,
aged GA years, died Tuesday at his resi-

Capt. Hawley was born in Connecti-
cut, and was appointed from that State

June 26, 1856, was appointed lieutenant.
Subsequent duties found him on the re-
ceiving ship Philadelphia, 1861, and in
ordnance duty at the Washington navy

ing ship, Philadelphia, 1S69-7O.
For the past II years Capt. Hawley

Capt Henry B. Nones, who was q
warm friend Of Capt. Hawley, spoke Of
him last evening in terms of eulogy,
saying that he was always genial, and
would be mourned by great many peo.
pie who were his friends, who always
mourn man so whole-souled and Of
such delightful companionship. He had
hosts OF friends outside Of the service as
we'll as in it, who loved him for his
worth. Capt. Nones, speaking from an
acquaintanceship of 40 years, said that
he never knew Capt. Hawley to be any
thing but agentlemen.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
afternoon, services being held at the
house at 2.30 o'clock.

He Dies Of Heart Failure.

The Deceased Was an Active Member
of Several Beneficial Societies and
His Relatives Will Probably
Receive Over One Thousand
Dollars Benefits.

Turnkey at the City Hall Lewis Ham
merer, who has for the last twelve days
been suffering with the grip died Of
heart failure at his home, No. 824 West
Fifth street at $50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
The deceased leaves four sons and
three daughters. Bernard Hammerer, of
Elizabeth, N. J. Mrs. Louise Callan and
Miss Anna Hammerer, of Bridgeport,
Conn.,, have been notified of the death of
their father and are expected to arrive
in this city tomorrow. The other chill
dren are Thomas Halnmerer, James
Hammerer, Harry Hammerer and Mrs.
Joseph Haywood.
Mr.. Hammerer was born in Berlin,
Germany, in 1910. He came to this
country in 1868, when he settled in Bal
timore, lived there two years and then
came to Wilmington. He obtained po-
rition in Bairds Morocco Factory, where
he was employed for twenty-three years,
tho greater part of which time he was
foreman of the factory. The deceased
was then engaged as turnkey in the
City Hall and was employed as such
until the time of his death.
1t is expected that the police will at
tend his funeral in body, and prepara-
tions are being made to make the inter-
ment most honorable one.
The deceased was a member Of the
Father Meyer Council, Catholic Legion,
and the German Mutual Beneficial Asso-
citation No. and No. 2. The amount
realized from these orders will exceed
81 300.
The late Lewis Hammerer was favor
ite with his brother officers and all who
came in contact with him both in busi-
ness and friendly way, consequently the
news of his death has caused vacancy
in the City Hall force which will be hard
to fill. His brother officers and friends
are plainly affected by his death.
No specified date has been set for the
funeral. Owing to the numerous friends
of the deceased, the floral tributes are ex.
pected to be quite magnificent and nu-
merOuS.

Dangerous Switch.

A coal car ran out from II. A. Browns
coal yard on to the main track of the
Wilmington & Northern railroad, yester-
day, but was put back before any train
collided with it.
The switch has very steep grade and
coal cars have to be blocked to keep them
from running on the main track. The
yard is near the curve at the Harlan &
Hollingsworth Company's plant, and a
train coming around the curve would be
in danger Of running into the cars. The
company is putting in a cutoff to remedy

Will Not Resign.

The statement that General Wilson
intends to resign is entirely without
foundation. When he left the army be-
fore, it was "for the interval Of peace
which might elapse between the date OF
his resignation and the beginning of the
next war" When he came into the army
this time it was to remain so long as his
services were needed, and he has no ex-
pectation of quitting until the Govern
ment signifies that it has no longer any
use for his services. He was not an ap-
plicant for the chief command in Cuba,
though he would have felt honcred had
the assignment been given him. He
has no grievance whatever against the
Administration.
