THE SEASIDE

Capt. Harper Putting Carolina Beach
In d for the Coming Season
Captain John w. Harper has begun
to put Carolina Beach in order for the
coming season. The railroad track.
rom the pier to the beach is being Re-
paired and the locomotive and cars
overhauled. Everything will be in
readiness in two weeks.
The waterworks at the beach are
also being rebuilt and enlarged. A
huge water tank to hold Is, 1000 gallons
of water, is now being made by the
Fore & Foster Company, and the frame
for it has alread- been erected at the
beach. The tank will be higher than
the old one and will give sufficient
force to throw a stream of water to the
top of the hotel or any of the two story
club houses or cottages in case of fire.
Pipes run up and down the beach to
the Various cottages and club houses
and they are thus supplied with water.
BY the way the water at the beach is
of very superior quality and the new
tank will make it all the better.

dent today definitely decided to take a
short trip south for rest, his destination
being Thomasville, Ca, where he will
be the guest Of Senator Hanna. The
president will be accompanied by Mrs.
Mckinley and some of their relatives
who are at present stopping at the

vannah from Thomasville and going
aboard the Dolphin make a short voy-
age in the warm waters Of Florida and
Georgia.

Mr.. John Bledsoe, an employee of the
Manchester Lumber Company, on the
line of the Wilmington and New Bern
railroad, was the victim of a frightful
accident late Monday afternoon, and
yesterday he was brought to this city
for treatment.
He was taken at once to the hospi-
tai, where the extent of his injuries
were ascertained and attended to by
DR.. j. C. Shepard and DIR. r. j. Price.
1t was found that the unfortunate
young man was injured quite seriously,
though in all probability not fatally.
Both thighs were broken, the left below
the hip and the right above the knee
joint, and other portions of his body
bruised, while several Of his toes were
cut off. All these wound were dressed,
and at last accounts the patient was
resting easy.
When the accident occurred Mr..
Bledsoe was walking On the track of
a tram-railway at the plant of the COM
pany just in front of a slowly moving
car. In some way he made a misstep
and fell on the track, n the heavy
car passed over his PROSTATE form. A
physician was at once summoned and
the sufferer made a. comfortable as
possible by him until he could be
brought to the city and placed at the
hospital under treatment of DR.. Shep-
ard

BOYS Arrested

OF late sling shooting and stone
throwing by small boys of the city has
grown to an alarming extent. Missiles
thrown or shot out of sings hav shat
tered many windows and in several in
stances persons narrowly escaped seri-
Gus injury. Complaint after complaint
was lodged at the city hall, and the au-
thorities appealed to to stop this fes-
tive practice of the small boys. Po-
liceman Guy was detailed to keep a
lookout for sling shooters and rock
and yesterday afternoon he
cerralled a crowd of at least thirty
white boys and carried them to he city
hall.
The crowd was made up of boys of
various sizes and types, and Policeman
Guy marched them into the mayors OIL
flee, where Mayor Waddell gave them
a severe lecture. He told them about
the damage that their mischievous
pranks a lone and what it might do
and that it had to be stopped. After
he finished his talk the boys trooped
out, each smiling as if going to a pic
mic, but it could be plainly seen that the
mayors warning had accomplished its
desired effect, if only for a short time.

Fearful Electric Shock

New York, March Joseph Hem
pei, an employee of the Lexington ave-
nue. cable power house, while working
at his switchboard. received n sur
vived an electric shock of about 1000
volts. The mans body was burned
black from head to foot; every stitch
of clothing was torn from him, and he
fell senseless through a hole instanta-
neously burned in the floor by the cur
rent. Hampel is expected to live. The
doctors who attended him say there
is no case on record of d man with
standing a similar shock. The acct
dent was caused through Hampel try
ing to tighten a loose screw on the
switchboard and in some way Great
ing a circuit. The enormous power of
the shock may be judged from the fact
that until the circuits were readjusted
all the r. on the road were brought
to a standstill.

MONDAY NIGHTS BLIZZARD
Much Damage Done TO Shipp
Harbor OF Newport News

Newport News, Va. March THE
stifest northwester that has visited
Newport News in years swept this en-
tire section OF Virginia last night and
it is still raging. The storm started
last night with a heavy downpour OF
rain. After midnight it stopped rain
ing and a cold wind blew from the
north. The wind increased in velocity
and travelled at times fully sixty
miles an hour. The crews Of the ships
IN the river spent a night of suffering.
The United States transport Thomas
which started for Savannah at 5 o'clock
yesterday afternoon was ordered back
on reaching Old Point and returned TO
the harbor at $50 O'Clock, p. N. The
vessel blew a distress whistle during
the night, for assistance, as she was
dragging her anchor. The whistle con-
tinued to blow through the early hours
of the morning, but on account of the
roughnes Of the water, no tugs ven
tured to her assistance. She ran into
the shipyard pier and was somewhat
damaged. The Thomas tied up this
morning in the slip, for safety. She
will have t be repaired before leav-
ing.
The two-masted schooner ]. P. Kea-
gle is a wreck at the bottom of the
river in the slip between the break
water and the passenger pier. Quite a
number of oyster slOops which put in
the harbor for shelter are aground
along the river front.

THE CHAMPION COMPRESS
Extensive improvements Begun-They
Will Make IL the Largest and Best
Eouipped Cotton Plant In the United

Extensive improvements are being
undertaken at the Champion compress
which will make it the largest and
best equipped plant of its III IN the
United States. We have not been able
to obtain full information as to the
extent Of the improvements and ad-
ditions, as negotiations for the work
are still pending.
AT present, however, it can be stated
that there is to be a large increase Oh
floor storage capacity and the piers
are to be covered by metal roof sheds.
The Champion compress dredge which
Messrs. Alexander Sprunt & Son have
recently bought, is now engaged deep
ening the docks so that five large
steamers can be loaded simultaneously.
The docks will be dredged sufficiently
deep as to afford twenty feet of water
at low water.

Wreck ON the Atlantic and Yadkin

The passenger train on the Atlantic
and Yadkin railway due here last night
at 7:05 o'clock, did not get in until 1880
o'clock last night.
The delay was caused by the wreck
ing Of the Wilmington bound freight
train yesterday at Tomahawk, thirty
one miles from the city. At the switch
the locomotive and two coal cars were
completely derailed. Two wrecking
trains were sent to the scene, one from
Wilmington and the other from Fay

the wreck so as to permit the passen-
ger train to pass.

OHIO WILSON'S NEW MOVE
His Attorney Files a Protest Before the
Railway Commission
Especial to The Messenger

Especial to The Messenger.)
Raleigh, n. c., March Mr.. Harris
caused a sensation today when he ap-
as attorney for Ohio Wilson and stated
that Wilson did not waive his rights as
railroad commissioner. Harris said he
acted without Otho's knowledge. When
the news reached the capitol it caused
a stir among the members, since some
construed his to mean hat there
would be a conteS for the place to
which S. L. Rogers has been chosen,
and has duly qualified. r. H. Battle
who was one of the counsel before the
legislature for Ohio Wilson, said he
was assured repeatedly by Wilson that
his resignation was in good faith and
without any reservation whatever and
Mr.. Battle does not believe that the
fact is otherwise. He was surprised
to learn of the notice, and was in
formed by Harris that the potest was
made in view of the possible decision
by the court that the act of the legis-
lature changing the commission is in
valid and that the governor may lave
the appointment of his successor, and
it is with a view to prevent such APP
pOintment in the possible contingency
Of law being declared invalid, that he
(Harris) made the protest in Wilson's
name, and with no view to contesting
the right of his successor elected by
the legislature. Mr.. Battle added that
he would have declined to appear for
Wilson had he not believed the resig-
nation to the legislature was in good
faith. Mr.. Harris says he was cor
rect1y represented by Mr.. Battles
statement.
