FIRE AT MOUNT OLIVE.
General Merchandise stock and Build
Ing Owned by b. III. Hatch Destroyed
Yesterday Morning.

The hustling little town of Mount
Olive was visited by another fire about
5 o'clock yesterday morning. The store
and stock Of general merchandise own
ed by Mr.. B. n. Hatch were complete
ly destroyed. The building was of
brick, and was badly Quilted. The
fire was not discovered until II was
under good Roadway, and no port of
the stock was saved, the doors not ever
having been opened.
None of the adjacent buildings was
seriously injured. save that the evplo-
sion Of a keg o. powuer / n the burning
building broke the glass front in the
adjacent grocery store Of Mr.. c.. D.
Hatch. brother of the proprietor of the
store which was burned.
Mr.. B. II. Hatch estimates the dam
g by the fire at So, 500. He carried
$500 insurance on the building and
stock, his actual loss, therefore, being
about $1,000. The loss comes especially
hard upon Mr.. Hatch for the reason
that he suffered a similar disaster
about two years ago, when the town
was visited by a fire which swept away
a large part Of the business portion of
the town.
Excursionists who came down from
Mount Olive yesterday said that the
origin Of the fire could not be ascer-
tanned, the supposition being that rats
and matches did it.

COUNTY JAIL OVER-CROwDED.
Fffty-one Prisoners Confined in the
Several Cells-COurt Will Convene
June 18th.

An unusually long Jail docket"
when it is convened on the first Mon
day in June, there being now ffty-one
prisoners confined in the county Jail,
the great majority Of them held for
trial in the criminal court. Of the in
mates of the Jail, five are white and
sixteen are women. Prominent county
officials said yesterday hat under the
present conditions not more h from
% to 80 prisoners should be confined
in the Jail if anything like the proper
sanitary and %hygieneic conditions are
maintained. Therefore with the pres
ent overcrowded condition of the jail
it is simply impossible to maintain g
proper degree of cleanliness. Of course
this greatly overcrowded condition
is due to some extent to the fact that
there was no March term of the Grim
inal court; but it is generally conceded
that a radical change is needed in the
matter of the jurisdiction Of the JUS
tees courts so that they can have
final jurisdiction in many cases which
it is now necessary to bind over to
the higher court, it being a fact that
quite a number Of the prisoners now
held in the overcrowded Jail are COM
mitted for very trivial o~ffenses; but
~offenSeS, nevertheless, which must be
disposed of in the criminal court. And,
too, it has been several days since any
announcement has been made of any
petit convicts and defaulters in the
matter of costs have been sent to the
county ROAD chain gang. This policy
was very we'll ~inaugurated some days
ago, and if generally observed by the
justices Of the peace will prove a very
great saving to the tax payers Of the
county

ANOTHER NEW BUILDING.
Begun Yesterday for a.
Two-Story Structure Adjacent to
Orion Hotel.

Wilmington's building boom, or rath-
er the steady volume of her internal
improvements in the way of new build
ings, grows apace, work on some new
building of buildings being commenced
nearly every day. In yesterdays Mes
senger announcement was made that
the first bricks were laid on the day
previous for three large buildings, the
value of which aggregated $50, 900.
These were the Gaylord racket store
building on Front street, the splendid
James Walker memorial hospital and
a handsome residence for Captain Ed
gar Williams. Another new building
was added to the already long list of
those under way yesterday. 1t is a
substantial n handsomely designed
two story store building on Front
street on the lot adjacent to and just
north of the Orion Hotel. 1t is to be
erected by Mr.. j.. Hicks Bunting and
will be % by 100 feet. The excavations
for the foundation were begun yester-
day morning.
Good progress is being made by
Messrs. Sternberger Bros. in clearing
up their Front street lot for the foun-
dation Of their new building which
they are to erect at once.

The ancients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work Of a demon within
a man. Any one who has had an at
tack Of sciatic or inf1ammatory rheu-
matism will agree that the infliction is
denoniac enough to warrant the BE-
lief. 1t has never been claimed that
Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast
out demons. but it will cure rheuma-
tism. and hundreds bear testimony to
the truth Of this statement. One appli-
cation relieves the pain. and this quick
relief which it affords is alone worth
many times its cost. For sale by Rob't

Car Loads Handled Yes
terday by Fruit Growers Express.
Very Few Berrfes Now In the Field.

The strawberry shipments yesterday
showed another considerable falling off.
Yesterday the Fruit Growers Express
handled twenty-five car loads against
.forty-two on the day previous. The
Southern Express Company handled
less thai 500 crates yesterday.
A gentleman intimate with the berry
crop conditions throughout this truck
ing belt said last night that practically
Tx crop has been marketed, there
being now very few berries in the
fields. This is especially fortunate as
lit shows that the growers have been
able to dispose of their entire crop at
profitable prices, whereas last year
when the prices dropped to a point
where it was no longer profitable 10
them for shipment, there were
vast quantities Of the fruit still on the
vines and going to waste, a dead loss
ito the growers. So much was this the
case last season that there was a
very general insistance in newspaper
and otherwise that
canning factories should be established
|or some other methods devised to util-
lie the odds and ends" of the crop
which unfortunately last year repre-
vast quantities Of berries.

very sorry to see any curb put upon
Its complete development"
Following the remarks by Mr.. Mac
Rae there were talks by Mr.. D. L.
Gore and Mr.. j. Allen Taylor in oppo-
|sition to the bill and the committee
report. Mr.. Gore thought sue an ap-
lp~ropriation from the national treasury
would be letting down the bars for ap-
preparations of all kinds for various
schemes ~concocted in comparative
cities.
Mr.. Taylor discussed at some length
the fight r. G.. Dun & Co. are making
against the Philadelphia Museums in
sisting that the Museum it is a COM
mercial agency n in fact local and
private in its nature.
Mr.. w. E. Worth advocated the re-
port Of the committee and spoke in a
general way Of the great and wide
spread good which is being accom-
lplished by the Museums. He said that
he introduced and advocated the orig
inal movement for the endorsement
of the bill not for any direct good that
would accrue to the city of Whining
ton but because of the great good that
he was confident would result for the
manufacturers and other branches OF
business in this state at large. He
read extensive correspondence which
he has had with officials n others
connected with the Museums.
There was some further discussion
in favor of the bill by Mr.. g. j. Boney
and in opposition by Mr.. Taylor and
the question Of adopting the report OF
the committee was called the vote re-
sulting in its adoption.
The only other business transacted
was the adoption Of resolutions on
lcerning the death Of Mr.. James >.
Worth, which are published elsewhere
in this issue.
