CABLE
Giant Weights of the First Presbytes
rrian Church Clock Crashed Through
Ceiling and Floor

The half-inch wire cable supporting
the giant weights of the clock of the
First Presbyterian church, broke FRI
day, and the weights fell with irresist-
able fury, crashing through the ceiling
Of the second story, directly e the
lobby at the main entrance Of the
church, and sinking deep into the floor.
The accident happened late in the af-
ternoon, while the clock was being
wound up. Consequently at that time
there was ~ great strain on the cable,
greater than at any other time.
The weights were seven in number,
and weigh between 500 and 1000 pounds.
They We're located below the belfry
floor, suspended from the clock by
the cable, and it was from this height
hat they fell. The accident was due
to the rusty G6ndition Of the cable,
which mas been in service for about
thirty. years. and happened, when it did
-on account of the strain produced by
the winding operation. The cable part
ed just about where DIT was connected
with the weights, end consequently its
dilapidated condition at this point
could not be seen, as it was hidden
from sight by the Aoor.
The weights upon falling cut 2 large
hole through the ceiling, but the dam
age to the lower floor was lessened by
the resistance offered by the mating
on the floor.
MI. George Bonnet, who has the
clock in charge, has air eady had the
damage to the ceiling anal floor relair-
&c and the weights and broken caole
removed. He will next, within about
a fortnight, have the weights replaced
with an all wire, latest improved Ca
BILE, and until then the clock Will not
strike, but otherwise it will run and
keep Just as good time as before The
broken cable was an old fashioned n

1t Is Probable That the Wilmington
SeacOast Railroad May be Converted
Into a Trolley LineLA bill Before tase
Legislature With That View

Our Raleigh dispatches last night
state that in the house of representa-
tives yesterday Representative M. S.
Willard introduced a bill TO revise the
jury list Of New Hanover county and
a bill to amend the charter of the Will
mington Gas Light Company by allow
ing it to consolidate it's electric light
plant with the Wilmington Seacoast
Railroad Company.
For some time there has been talk Of
converting the Seacoast Railroad into
an electric road. and the bill authoriz-
ing consolidation Is with that end in
view. The matter has not assumed any
definite shape, but the OBJECT in secur-
ing the passage of the act authorizing
consolidation is to put the two COM
panies in a position to consolidate If
it is so decided.
We learn that the question Of consol-
idation will come UP at the annual
meeting Of the Wilmington Seacoast
Railroad Company to be held next
month.

ing will do this so quickly and surely
as DR.. Miles Nervine. 1t has restored
health to thousands of Grip sufferers

Editor Messenger:
Mr.. w. l.. Hill, president Of the East

yielded to the pressure of friends and
become a candidate for the position of
railroad commissioner. He has the
solid influence of the truckers of his
section to ack him, besides he has
been voluntarily urged by members of
the legislature, who recognize hiss fit
ness for this important position, to try
for it. No one who has the benefit of
knowing Mr.. Hill Intimately, can say
truthfully there is any man better
equipped than he for commissioner.
His courtly and affable manner his
brilliant intellect, his peerless charac-
ter and his intense earnestness in seek

ETnnber Bringing Good Prices

We understand from Mr.. H. Mel.
Green that several RATS of new timber
have been brought on the market dur
ing the past week, and sold off at good
paying prices as fast as it comes in.
1t is bringing at least from $500 to
$500 per tho usand feet more than it
did last year "a: this season.
Mr.. Green says the mills are in great
need OF timber, as they have not
enough on hand 10 run them a month
on full time. Therefore, he thinks tim
Der of all grades viii bring good prices
all the season, for it will take between
thirty-fve and forty million feet to
supply the mills of this city for one
year, and as the season has so far ad-
vanced that he don't think they will
be able to get more than half that
amount.
