Coz. L. Borclr, press agent to Hon.
Anthony Hlg has sent out a delightful
bit of idiocy outlining a deal between
Addicks and lIig whereby Addicks is to
elect Iiig to succeed Hon. George Gray
in the Senate of the United States and
later on iljg will use his influence to
have Auiicks succeed kenney who is
placed on liie sliding board lor the mo-
ment. When J. Ed ward Addicks enters
into any such deal with Anthony Hig
and Mr.. F. Botch the skating in Perdi-
ton will be better than it ever was on
the Brandywine and as strict matter Of
fact Anthony Hig could not enter into
such deal if he wanted to. He and
Botch have been whipped into line for
George Gray and only in the event OF a
complete failure to carry out Mr.. Nc
Kin!ey's plan could Hig hope to have his
name presented before the Legislature in
good faith. Hig is a dead one. When
Hig died Botch died.

VICTIMS WERE BROTHERS
The Two Men Killed in the West
Yard Saturday Positively
Identified.
WERE LOOKING FOR WORK
Supposition is That They Attempted
to Board a Fast Freight and
Fell Beneath the Wheels
of Car-.-Rodies
Sent Home.
WERE LOOKING FOR WORK

The unfortunate men who were Killed
in the west yard Of the p. W. & b. Kali
road early Saturday morning and 1ouna
by railroad men, all covered with blood,
have both been positively identified.
The first supposition that they were wei
brothers has been found to be true. The
older man had been identified as Richard
Jearsman, but the authorities were not
fully satisfied that the other body was
that Of his brother.
Those who viewed the remains did
not see much resemblance between the
two men, That they were very lntl-
matelv acquainted with each other there
could be no doubt.
The first dispatch received from Baltl-
more in response to inquiries about the
two victims of the rail settled the lden'
tity of Richard Learsman and left some
doubt az to the identity of the other.
The mother desired the body OF Richard
shipped home.
Yesterday, however, another dispatch
was received by Deputy Coroner Cham
dl II, which informed him that the ether
man was Conrad Learsman and brother
of Richard. There was also an order to
ship both bodies to the home of their
mother. No. 100 Chesapeake street, Can
ton Md.
4 The remains we're put in as good con-
dition as possible and shipped last
night.
| The brothers had been out Of work To-,
some time and hoped to be able to SO.
cure employment at Delmar. They had
no money to take them there and were
compelled to either work or ride on a
freigt train.
The authorities are Of the opinion, al
ter investigating the matter, that the
men attempted to board a fast moving
freight, and, slipping, fell beneath @he
cars and thus met their deaths.

BUSINESS in Newark, Del, will suffer
by the recent election in Maryland. The
prohibition law in the neighboring town
of EIkton has been revoked and high
license law substituted. The pilgrmages
of whites and blacks from Elkton, Nd,
to Newark will now cease and the lm-
mense revenue which has pourd into the
Golfers of Newark saloonkcepers for the
last thirteen years, will cease.
1t is now certainly proper for the New

on charge of destroying legitimate bus
mess and causing the income of certain
individuals to be- lowered. Newark s
business is certainly injured and tho

Extensive improvements are under
way at the Lobdcll Car Wheel Works.
Ground was broken this morning for The
erection OF a new addition to the machine
foundry of the plant.
The building will be of mammoth pro-

Considerable new machinery will be
placed in the new building when COM

the engaging of more employees.
Besides these improvements the com.

A meeting will be held at Florence,
s. c., on July Is to form into one
corporation all the railroads operated
by the Atlantic Coast Line in South
Carolina. The consolidation will be
affected under an act of incorporation
secured recently from the legislature
of South Carolina. The roads involv-
ed are the Wilmington, Columbia and
Augusta, Northeastern, Florence, Man
chester and Augusta and the Cheraw
and Darlington Railroad Companies.
The plan of the new corporation has
already been formulated and the in
c~orporated~ properties will be known as
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Com
pany of South Carolina. The financial
plan contemplates the issue of a AZ
per cent. mortgage, and of preferred

to take up the present outstanding is
sues on the properties involved. The
details as to the new securities, how
ever, will not be completed until the
meeting of stockholders Of the several
roads is held, when this part of the
undertaking will be more fully matur-

Suit Instituted for the Recovery 0,
PrOperty-Peculiar Circumstances.

~
A civil action of a very peculiar, but
interesting nature will come up for
trial before Justice Fowler this after
noon. It is a writ of detinue brought
by a daughter against a mother, and
was instituted in Justice MCGOWAN
court, but transferred to Justice Fow-
Ter on an affidavit Of removal filed by
the defendant.
All parties concerned reside in the
southern portion OF the city, and the
status of their troubles is as follows:
Some time ago the plaintiff, Miss
Martha J. Jacobs, left the city on a
visit and alleges that she left a guam
tity of household effects with her
mother, Mrs. Martha Jacobs, who was
to keep them for her. When she re-
turned she requested possession of the
effects, but her mother refused to re-
turn them. Then, she instituted pro-
ceedings for the recovery of the prop
erty.
The mother claims that the goods
belong to her and that she purchased
them herself. This the daughter pos
lively denies, saying that b bought
them. They both hold receipts, but
the peculiar part is that all the re-
ceipts bear the name of Martha
Jacobs" which is the name of both
mother and daughter.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon Justice
Fowler will attempt to solve this now
puzzling question.

The Discussion Continued in the Sem
a~te-SenatOr Caffery's Speech in OPP
position to the Observation-Disclosures
Appropriation Bill Again Sent to
Conference


SENATE.
Washington, June 27.-At II o'clock
this morning the senate convened and
a few minutes afterwards adopted the
resolution of Senator Davis, chairman
Of the foreign relations committee,
providing that hereafter, until further
action shall be taken, the senate con-
vene daily at II o'clock a. m.
Consideration of the Hawaiian an
nexation resolutions was resumed and,
during the session, Senators Clay, dem
ocrat, of Georgia, Roach, democrat, of
North Dakota, and Caffery, democrat
OF Louisiana, addressed the senate in
opposition to them. Senator Caffery
had not concluded his speech when the
senate adjourned.
Senator Clay, in his argument in op-
position to the resolution, insisted that
the annexation of Hawaii would start
this country upon a career of con-
quest which was opposed to the true
destiny of the United States. He
claimed hat to make the present war
al excuse for the adoption of a colo
hlLdCioA purity WOuiu Ue d NlOldt1OI Ol
the declarations made in the Cuban
resolutions and would involve the
country in tremendous difficulties and
possible ruin. He declared that the
United States had no business to cap
ture the Philippine islands, as the wal
was not begun for any such purpose.
At 5 o'clock Senator Gallery, not
having concluded his speech, yielded
the floor and the Hawaiian resolutions
were laid aside until tomorrow.
Senator Allison called up the con-
ference report on the Indian %appropria-
ton bill and asked that it be agreed
to.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, express
ed the hope that the report might be
rejected, because of the provision
which allowed Indians to lease mineral
lands on their reservations.
The report was rejected, the special
grounds of objection being that stated
by Senator Jones and one stated by
Senator Pettigrew who insisted that
the senate cOnferees should insist upon
the free homes provision.
At 5:35 o'clock, the senate went in
to executive session, and at 5:55 o'clock
adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The house today went promptly to
the consideration of District of Column
bia legislation, which occupied the
greater portion of the afternoon.
The message of the president rela-
tive to Naval Constructor Hobson, the

On A BOOM
Remarkable Development From the
STRAY berry and Trucking Interests
Sale of Town Lots Last Saturday at
Astonishing Prices

Mr.. W. g. Boney, who attended the
auction sale of town lots at Wallace on
Saturday at II o'clock, tells US that
nine lots were sold at from $3.50 to $3.50
per front foot.
The sale was by Mr.. John Lamb
and Mr.. P. Boney was auCIioneer.
Most of the lots were on Nain street
and none but business lots were sold.
They fronted 35 feet and ran back a
depth of 81 feet. They were readily bid
in at s17O to 1926 per lot. The rurchos-
ers were Messrs. j. G.. Sutherland,
Frank RUSSELL, William Switzerland,
T. Q. Hall, DR.. Ben Powers, Mr.. Will
liams the Wallace Lodge of Odd Eel
lows, Mr.. w. J.. Boney, and Mr.. H
Smith, of Wilmington.
The Odd Fellows paid $3.50 for a lot
4Ox90 feet and they intend To erect a
handsome brick business building n
lodge room. DIR. Powers also intends
to erect a neat brick building for his
drug store.
After the sale, the citizens of
Wallace held a meeting TO discuss
the matter of organizing a tobacco
warehouse company and erecting a
large arehous The enterprise was
enthusiastically entered into n
Messrs. W. J. BOney and l.. Solther-
and were appointed a committee to
visit different points and set Informal
ton and plans to carry out the project.
They left yesterday to visit places
wher there are warehouses. 4 cOns.d-
erable amount of tObaccO IS now beng
raised by the farmers Of Duplin
county.
Wallace is in Duplin county and is
situated on the Wilmington and We'll
don railroad, thirty-six miles from VIII
mingtOn. 1t is in the midst of a fine
section, and we understand that the
sale of lots there was to meet the de-
mand, and that this demand has been
brought about by the prosperity result
ing from the extensive n successful
development of the strawberry grow
ing and trucking interests. The sec
ton around Wallace is specially
adapted to this business.
While we are speaking of the sale o.
lots at Wallace, we learn that two
acres of LAND half a mile from the
place recently sold for $275.
