1t is learned that the fever patients

there is no defect in this main sewer
line. 1t is the connections to this sewer
line and the old sewer Line that is giving
the trouble.

OUR INSURANCE LAW.
It Is Winning Golden Opinions In All
the States.

All the insurance papers are COM
intending North Cardinals fire insurance
law, and congratulating the State ON
the recent reduction in rates
The Spectator, a prominent insurance
journal published in New York, says: -
1.-The action of the South Eastern Tar
if Association in reducing rates III North
Carolina - and 80 per cent, according
to tine character of the risks, is a step
that should exercise Il favorable lnnu-
ence upon insurance legislation in the
various States Certain laws passed at
the last session of the Legislature OF
North Carolina tended to reduce the
taxes upon the companies TO a reasona-
BILE amount, and to discourage the opera
tions of illegitimate companies In other
words, the cost of doing business in the
State was reduced. and in recognition of
this fact. the companies reduced their
rates. Thus property-owners get the
direct benefit of intelligent legislation IN
the matter of insurance. In ot4ier
States, where the policy of taxing cor
porations to the full limit finds favor III
the eyes of legislators, the property
owners have to pay the bill in the way
of higher insurance rates than would
otherwise be charged
The Vicksburg, Miss Evening Post
prints an interview with Mr.. w. l..
REYNOLDS. well-known here as being
prominently connected with the manage
ment of the North Carolina Home In
surance Company. He says:
THE insurance companies Will endeay-
CIR to induce the next Legislature to
adept the same laws regulating insur-
in
of North Carolina for which they stand
ready to guarantee a reduction Within
one year of not less than % per cent of
present rates in force in TINS State. The
adoption of the North Carolina insur-
ance laws would not only save the li4-
surers of Mississippi many thousands
of dollars. hut it would be notice to the
world that capital could seek investment
in this State without the fear of burden
some and unjust laws which, when
heretofore, have been made
more drastic. No State can force fire
insurance companies to reduce rates by
their taxes. That Is exactly
what Mississippi has attempted, and the
people have no reason to anticipate amy
permanent relief as long as the present
insurance laws are in force. Rate wars
are only beneficial TO large pf operty own
ers who pay large premiums by which
becomes aggressive, but the
result is the small insurers pay the
IN light because their premiums are not
sufficient to invite competition. The
South Eastern Tariff Association was
organized primarily fer the purpose OF
correcting this evil and it is claimed,
is run as much in the interest OF the
people as of the Insurance Companies.

THE DEPOT STREET CAR LINE.
It Must Either BE Used or Removed
Says the City Attorney,

City Attorney Watson has been fol-
sometime looking into the street car SIT
uation here.
This he has done by direction of the
hoard of aldermen who have at last de
cfded that the street car company mIst
either use the track it has laid from
Fayetteville street to the depot or take
it up.
After thoroughly investigating the
matter Mr. Watson is of opinion that
the city can compel the car company
to operate the unusued line; and certain
ly it can be made to take it up if il
doesn't operate it,
No corporation should be allowed eX-
elusive right of way through the streets
OF ~ city unless it makes use of it for
the purpose for which the franchise was
granted The old unused track is an OBJ
struction and a nuisance that the car
company should be compelled to at once
remove or use.
Mr. Watson will make his report to the
board at its next meeting.

of the old family heirs finally come blc.1
as a wandering seaman, and is unknown
as the heir. To him one of the pfetty

Mr.. NEiMYER AT IT'S HEAD
WANT SPECIAL PRIVILEGES
FROM THE ALDERMEN.
WILLING 70 PAY A GOOD LICENSE TAX
viii Give Bond If Ii Is Made Unlawful For ANY
One But Licensed Bonded Com
pany to Engage Regularly In
Transfer Business.

Raleigh needs a good baggage transfer
company. Such companies pay hand
somely in other cities of the State
some of them not SO large as Raj
eigh and none of them with so much
travel.
A company has been formed here for
conducting first class transfer business,
and if suitable legislation can be Sc
cured from the board of aldermen it will
begin business at an early day.
Mr.. Neimyer, Seaboard engineer, is
at the head of the enterprise, and with
him is associated another well known
railroad man.
What we want" said Mr.. Amis,
their attorney, is this: That the board
of aldermen pass an ordinance making
it unlawful for anyone other than hcen-
sed transfer companies to make bust
ness of transferring and transporting
baggage This done we want the
license fixed at good figure, say $50
or $50, so that only responsible parties
will undertake to 60 into the business,
il any go into it at all. OF course we
hope no one else will go into it, as the
business here will not pay more than
one company. Then it is proposed to
give "a bond, for the city should require
all such companies, when licensed, to
give bond for the faithful performance
of duty. and also that the owner of
property lost in transfer may recover
its value if the company fails or re-
fuses to make good the loss. =
1t is the purpose of this company. Mr..
Neimyer says, in case satisfactory legis-
lation can be secured from the board,
to put employees ON all incoming trains
to take charge of such baggage as the
owner may desire to have sent to any
part of the city. Also for people going
away baggage will be checked from the
residence.

TRAINS COLLIDE.
Seaboard Freight and Mr.. Mills Train
Crashed Near Depot.

At 4:45 yesterday afternoon there was
a bad smash up ut the railroad crossing
Just beyond the Union depot. The train
on the Raleigh and Cape Fear, Mr..
Mills road, was just backing out of the
station when it struck train of freight
cars which was being pushed by a Sea-
beard switching engine toward Jones X
Powelfs wood yard. Three cars. a fiat
and box car on the K. and c. +. and a
box car of the Seaboard were derailed
and considerably damaged and both the
Southern and Seaboard tracks were
blocked by the debris. The tracks were
not cleared until s o'clock last night.
The r. and c. +. train cut the Sea-
board train in two and three cars Of
the latter ran down to the siding. One
of the deraled ears fell down the en-
bankmcnt. 1t was good luck that there
was no loss of life. Fortunately the
passenger coach of the accommodation
train on the II. and G. T. was in the
middle of the train instead of at the
rear as usual. otherwise there would
have been il frightful tragedy.
Responsibility for the accident was
disclaimed by both roads yesterday and
spectators were divided, some saving
one train crew was responsible and some
the either. There was probably a failure
of the trains crews to understand the
signals.
No estimate Of the damage could be
had.

THE POLE PAINTING ORDINANCE
It Makes City Prettier and Lessons
Number of Poles.

Already the good effect of the 6n-
forcement of the ordinance requiring the
painting of telegraph, telephone and elrc-
tric light poles is being seen.
To start with the street is very much
improved in appearance. 1t is neater
and brighter for the use of paint, ana
shows the presence of city pride.
Another, and perhaps the best result
of the law is notable diminution in
the number Of poles. The fact of the
business is that such an ordinanrc--
and its enforcement--is about the best
way to keep down the number of poles.
Many are now being taken down by the
companies owning them to keep from
having them to paint. On one street
corner yesterday-corner Fayetteville
and Davie-two were dug up. Many
others have been or will be dug up at
other places along the street.

gram announcing her brothers death

HIND SIDE BEFORE.

The first sign of the outbreak or the
regularly recurring row in the Ohio Re-
publican camp was made the other DAY
by Governor Bushnell. when he went ior
Hanna in this fashion;
Whenever Senator Hanna mos MIN
self getting the worst OF II ne runs pc
hind the President and tries TO make OUT
that the administration is being assalieo,
Had Il not been for the tight hold ne hau
upon the coat-tails Of Mckinley lie wouid
never have succeeded in being drageei
into public life When we seek 10 eilmi-
nate Uannaism from the Rtpupncai
marty. we do not thcreDy cast any reiiec-
ton upon the Republican party.
This PROMISES that the row this year
is going TO be much flercer than usual,
ami for that we are thankful. II is TO be
hoped that II will become so fierce that
one faction will swallow the other an
then swallow itself.
But we respectfully submit that Cover
nor Bushnell has gotten things hind side
before. The fact is that the relations OF
Mckinley and Hanna are just the reverse
of those described by Bushnell. Ii is the
President who has been doing and sui
continues to do, the coat-tail swinging
act. and il is highly probable that but
for his grasp upon Hannas coat-tails he
would never have been dragged into the
presidential chair.
