Washington On Trusts.
XIV. State Democrat

lhY. state Democrat
In 1779 General Washington army
was not in very good condition. 1t
needed food and clothing, in fact the
soldiers were in rags, and with their
officers lived on the plainest food, prin-
cipaIy roots, Congress was struggling
to supply him and his army with the
neccessaries Of life, but it had trouble
with those who had the supplies, be-
cause they controlled the market and
were not disposed TO let them go without
being paid their own price. 1t was
then that Washington wrote Joseph
Reed, president Of congress, to the follow
ing effect:
cit gives me sincere pleasure TO find
that the assembly of Pennsylvania is so
well disposed to second your endeavors
In bringing those murderers of our
cause, the monOpOlizers, forestallers and
engrossers, to condign punishment.
It is much to be lamented that each
state, long ere this has not hunted them
down as pests to society and the great
est enemies we have to the happine S;
of America.

With bliss that they borrow.

Yes, August Flower still has the

grandmothers never thought OF
using anything else for Indigestion

and they seldom heard of Appen-

Heart failure, etc. They used Au-

Americans caiInot now marry any
where within the domains of
Emperor Wilhelm. Of this fact
the American government Will
take cognizance, and another issue
will be added to the controversy
going OH between the Berlin and
Washington governments. Ger
many has recently encated a
marriage law one paragraph OF
which that "every man desiring to
be married in Germany shall pre-
sent to the special magistrate by
whom alone marriages can be sol
emnized i'll Germany, a certificate
by the proper authorities of his
native or home state to the effect
that the authorities know no just
cause exists why the marriage
should not take place"
Consnl-General III. i. Mason at
Berlin, says this requirement APP
plies to all persons of whatever
nationality, and when, as often
happens, a male citizen of the
United States desires to marry in
Germany a woman of American or
other nationality, he is confront
ed with difficulty that no court or
tribunal in the United States
maintains a personal supervision
over American citizens as to their
domestic relations or will give a
certificate that specified individ-
ual is single and that no obstacle
to his marriage is known to exist.

A QUEER ANIMAL.

A queer animal is the 'siguana'
| pronounced "guano.'0 OF the or
der of the crocodile, and a knight
companion Of the excellent lizard,
the iguana (let us be allowed to
call him here the "guano') won't
hurt you except you keep poultry;
then he thinks himself entitled to
go halves with you, and will take
your eggs as fast as the hens can
lay them, and the chickens long
before you care to eat them. Need
less to say, the blacks will eat him
Oh all occasions, but perhaps it is
necessary to warn you to have
nothing to do with him in the way
of food, unless you have chef to
cook his tail; when one can well
believe, since the rudiments Of
meat are contained in it, it may be
liked quite as well as would frog
or toad disguised by the same
deft hand.
A noticeable popularity of the
"guano" is that he never remains,
If he can help it, on the same side
of the tree as any individual who
wants to make his acquaintance.
Perhaps it is shyness, perhaps it
is that inherited experience teach
es him that you require his "cor-
poreal body" Gas grandiloquent
old shepherd once called it to
make meal Of, embalm, dissect,
preserve, stuff; at any rate, he
makes a point of keeping on the
opposite side of the tree. In the
sand he burrows, and there the
eggs are laid; and from the shallow
burrows the black gins yam-stick
disinters the skulking reptile, who
soon lies on the dining-room table
ready for consumption.
Another strong point about d
"guano' is that he will voluntarily
enter into a combat which every
other animal except the eagle
shirks; that is to say, he will seek
out and fight the deadly snake,
whose bite appears to have no
more effect on him thar would the
peek Of Il sparrow. 1t used to be
suggested that his habit was to
retire after an encounter and eat
some antidote; and odd bushmen
have thought it worth their while
to watch to what plant he repaired
for the refreshment. But nothing
ever came Of such investigation.
and, If the beast is impervious to
snake-bite, it must be for some
other reason than the old-fashioned
one, which, to say the least Of it,
Is improbable.

EGRo FIREMAN BADLY sCALDED.
A Pop Valve Blew Out of an A. C.. L.
Dummy ~Engfnc-The Cause of the
Accident.

A pop-valve in one of the Atlantic
Coast Lines dummy engines blew out
late yesterday afternoon while the
engine was standing in the yard under
the Front street bridge, and before
the negro fireman, Tom Mckenzie,
could get out of the engine, he was
badly scalded On the arms and legs
by the boiling water and steam which
We're escaping in considerable volume.
The front door of the dummy cab was
blown to by the outrushing steam and
water but the negro fortunately made
his escape through the door in the OPP
posite end of the engine, having dashed
through the boiling water and steam
in order to get out. His burns were
dressed by DIR. d. w. Bullock.
The engineer had left the engine to
attend to some business in the OFFICE
and it was while he was away that the
accident occurred. Had he been on the
engine he too would have been badly
scalded as the ~pop-valve on his side
was the one that blew out.
Owing to the great rush OF eScap-
ing steam and water it was some time
before any one could get up to the
dummy. All the water ran out OF the
boiler and as quickly as possible the
fire in the furnace was extingu1shed
to prevent an explosion. The u OF
the accident is thought to have been
the stripping out of the threads on the
valve by reason Of being worn

The Progress Being Made in street
Paving and Operating the City Rock
Quarry-Macadam Work ON Castle
Haynes Road.

On tomorrow morning the street
roller will be brought to the city from
the rock quarry and used in rolling
down the section of Market street
which is to be paved with vitriied
brick. The san in which the brick will
be laid is also being hauled and con-
veniently placed n the york of put
ting down the pavement will commence
on Tuesday or wednesday. The super
intendent will, a. previously stated,
arrive tomorrow.
In an attempt to bring the roller to
h city yesterday the valve stem was
broken. However, it was repaired last
night and the big machine is in
thorough order again.
Considerable work was done by the
force during the past week. Two
squares of macadam were finished
that on Red Cross between Sixth and
Eighth. Considerable macadam work
was done on Third street between Ann
n Nun and on Third between Dock
and Orange.
A good stone sidewalk has beer
built on Ninth street between Market
street and the Seacoast depot. And
also on Orange street from Eighth
street to the Seacoast depot.
yhe quantity and quality of rock
being gotten out or the city quarry
continues eminently satisfactory and
this department of the extensive work
being prosecuted under the direction
of the streets and wharves committee
is making admirable Roadway.
Referring to macadam work gener-
ally, it will be we'll to note in this con-
nection that the county commissioners
are making excellent Roadway in their
macadam o work in that the Cas-
tie Haynes road from the A. c.. L.
railroad crossing all the way to the
Smiths creek bridge now has two
courses of rock spread down and is
ready for the top dressing and roller.
The work Of giving these finishing
touches will begin Monday.

THE 1900 STRAWBERRY CROP
ABOUT 100000 QUARTS MARKETED
FOR $1,l20,000
Probably 90 or ss Per Cent. of the Crop
Marketed The Crop Especially
Profitable to Growers-One Thousand
Refrigerator Car Loads Handled by
Fruit Growers Express-Sixty Thou
. sand Crates by Southern Express.

1t is expected that this week will
mark practically the close of the
strawberry season in this section, at
least SO far as profitable shipment in
large quantities to northern and east
ern markets is concerned. A gentleman
prominently connected with the Fruit
Growers Express, by which such an
admirable refrigerator car service is
being given, say that, in his opinion,
SO per cent. of the crop has already
been moved. And, too, it is gratifying
to repeat the statement previously
made in The Messenger that the crop
has been moved at prices which have
made the crop very profitable to III
growers. 1t is safe to estimate that an
average price of certainly not less than
10 cents per quart has been received for
the crop thus far. So that the amount
Of money which has been distributed
along this section of the Wilmington
and Weldon n the Atlantic and Yad-
kin railroads assumes enormous pro-
portions, when the authoritative state
ment Is made that about 1000 car loads
or $780, 900 quarts of berries have been
moved by the Fruit Growers Express
Company alone. Then the Southern
Express Company has moved about
sc, 900 crates, Or 1920, 900 quarts. This
gives a grand total of II, 200, 900 quarts
of strawberries.
Estimating that an average price of
10 cents per quart has been received
it will give a total Of 81, 12O, 900, which
has been received for the berries mar
keted thus far.
1t will be of interest to note that the
heaviest shipment of berries by refrig-
orator car was made on Saturday, May
5th, the number being ITO solid car
loads. The shipments on Friday of this
week were 43 cars, and about the same
number were handled yesterday.
The shipments during the past week
by the Southern Express Company
was about 5 1000 crates, slightly in ex-
cess of the previous week.
