THE F1REMEN,s TOURNAMENT.
Further Developments in Arrange
ments for Floral Parade-Charlotte
Teams Preparing for Tournament.

Announcement was made in yester-
days Messenger that it was the pur-
pose OF the committee on arrangements
for the great iremen's tournament to
be held here July 10th, 18th, 18th and
18th, to d a floral parade feature to
the numerous attractions which will
combine TO make the tournament one
of the most notable events of the year
in North Carolina.
Mondays issue of the Charlotte News
has the following reference to the pro-
posed parade here, and the desire of
the Wilmington committee to procure
the artificial flowers which were used
in the recent floral parade in Char
lotte:
wilmington has caught the floral
parade fever. Mr.. w. p. Monroe, as
sistant chief Of the fire department,
writes Superintendent Campbell that
they intend having a floral parade du-
ring the iremen's tournament, and
wants TO buy the flowers hat Char
1otte used. Mr.. Campbell therefore asks
all parties to whom flowers were given
to return them tomorrow and Wednes-
day TO the city hall so he can dispose
of them to Wilmington and thus help
to pay Charlotte's floral debt. The
flowers will be shipped to Wilmington
as soon as they are sent in"
The f1remen of Charlotte seem to be
entering right heartily into the work
Of preparing for the contests between
the various companies during the con-
vention and tournament.
The Charlotte Observer Of yesterday
has the following reference, which will
be read with interest by Wilmington
ians:
AT a meeting of the Charlotte Reel
Team last night it was decided that
the team will go to Wilmington for
on the 18th and 14th Of July. Chief of
Police w. S. Orr has been appointed
trainer for the team, which will prac-
tice every Tuesday and Friday. A res
olution to appoint a committee to get
up some kind of entertainment with a
expenses of the team = Wilmington
was adopted.
1.-THE president announced tina the
official record showed that the team,
in the hose reel contest on Wednesday
last, made the running time to the
plug in II 3-5 seconds, which is the
fastest time ever made in the state"
1t Is evident from the frequent ref
erences made to the tournament by
newspapers throughout the state that
the fremen are anticipating a tremen-
douS success in the 1900 meeting of the
convention and tournament in this
city, and The Messenger is pleased to
note that the local and general COM
mittees are working with i, especial
vigor and determinations that ever
more than the highest expectations of
the visiting fire laddies shall be full
filled. 1t is of the highest Importance
That the committeeman, the business
men and citizens generally should
heartily cooperate in the work of
making the tournament a success.

THE FLORAL PARADE.
There Seems No Doubt Now That Such
a Feature VIII be Added to the Tour
nament Programme.

1t is all the talk now that there will
be a Floral parade in connection with
the Fireman's parade. 1t is to be on
h morning of July 18th. The flowers
can be obtained from Charlotte and
Richmond and there is but one thing
needful now. That is a lady anage
one who will perform her duty like
Miss Addie Williams, Of Charlotte,
who so we'll managed the floral parade
in that city on the 22nd, the first ever
held in this state.
The committee in charge of the pro-
gramme for the great tournament
have in mind a lady whom they are
sure will make an admirable manager
for the floral parade here and will call
upon her within the mex day or two.
If the lady in question accepts the
management of the parade its success
is assured.
The Charlotte Observer in referring
to the grand parade in that city recent
ly said: But over and above all
things else the floral parade distin-
guished the procession and was easily
h first feature of interest and beauty.
Under the able management of Miss
Addie Williams and her assistants
it could not have been otherwise. The
most sincere and universal comment
on the parade was. 1t is perfect n
it was perfect. There vas not so
much of it as to be tiresome and there
vas enough in it to make it fascinating
and complete. Men said: 1t is the
finest thing of it's kind ever seen in the
SOUTH n their point of view provok-
ed no argument"
"A few of those who ~patronized the
parade in Charlotte were Mrs. C. c.
Hook in a handsome victoria, the
Southern Bell Telephone Company,
Carriage, Mrs. Clarence E. Bryant and
Miss Oates, carriage; Mrs. r. M. Bran
non buggy; Misses Fannie Burwell
Cubbedge, carriage of setting green
pink roses; Mrs. w. f. Buchanan, vel
low and orange surrey; Miss Hettie
Baruch, phaeton with American beau
ties; Misses Addie Belle N Winiferd
Barron, surrey of pink peoples; Miss
Carrie M. Brown, white victoria pur-
pie morning glories; the children of
c~onfederacy decorated in white and
red roses battle flags n white rib
bons, the occupant being Mrs. j. l..
Sexton and thirteen children repre-
senting the thirteen original states.
The people of Wilmington should
hold the proposed floral parade here
and make it a grand success. There
were over forty vehicles in the Char
lotte parade and there should be as
many or more in the one here.

COMMITTED FOR BURGLARY.
John Hennegan, Colored, Caught In
h Act of Burglar1Z1n& George hop.
insOn,S

Iobp Hennegan, a negro, vas sent to
iail Yesterday without bail by Mayor
Pro Tenn. w. E.. Springer to wait
trial at the next term of the criminal
court on the charge of burglary. he
was arrested under quite exciting cir
cumstances early yesterday morning.
charged with breaking into the resi-
dence of George Robinson, colored, a
shoemaker, whose shop is on Second
street. at the corner of Bailey's alley.
The evidence against Hennegan is
to the effect that between 3 and 4
O'Clock yesterday morning he was dis
covered running away from George
Robinson's house, after the house a
been broken open. Robinson says ne
was awakened by an unusual nolse'
that about the same time his daugn-
ter was awakened, and that ne 1ouno
the front and back doors and the back
window open. He says that he saw
Hennegan running away from the
house and gave chase. They a as
far as Market street, where Robinson
was Joined in the pursuit by Police
man J.. S. Bryan, and the chase con-
tinued as far as h old c. F. n Y.
V. depot, where the negro was cap
tured. =
A key to Robinson's house was found
in one of Hennegan's pockets.
When on trial Hennegan confessed
that he entered Robinson's house, but
said that he did so because the doors
We're open and he wanted to find a
place to sleep. However, after he had
been committed to Jail, he told Jailer
Mills hat he entered the u
through the window.
The police authorities say that they
are sure that Hennegan has already
served one term i'm the p~enitentiary,
and are reasonably sure that he has
served two terms. They are of opinion
that he is a professional burglar and
is responsible for several offences of
the kind which have been committed
~hereabouts recently.

The consolidation deed by which the
several companies comprising the At
lantic Coast Line system convey the
title to the several railroad properties
to the Atlantic Coast Line railroad
company in accordance with the re-
cent consolidation agreement was re-
corded in the office of the register of
deed of New Hanover county yester-
day afternoon, the voluminous and
especially valuable document requiring
hat revenue stamps to the amount of
SIS, 900, be affixed thereto.
The deed is drawn in accordance with
the plan of consolidation adopte by
the stockholders of the wilmington
and Weldon Railroad Company IN this
city on April Goth and by the stock
holders of other interested al
meetings held either just prior TO or
soon after that date. According to the
plan of consolidation adopted the new
has issued common and pre-
ferred stock and certificates of indebted
ness which have been delivered to the
stockholders of the constituent COM
panies in exchange for their former
stock holdings.
BY this Consolidation which the
formal filing of the deed on yesterday
may be said to complete the Whining
ton and Weldon Railroad Company, the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company
OF Virginia, the Atlantic Line
Railroad Company of South Carolina,
the Norfolk and Carolina, Railroad
Company and the South Eastern Rail
raod Company are consolidated into one
known as the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad Company, which has a
mileage of about LILO miles n con-
trolls by lease or joint ownership an
additional mileage of about 500 miles,
making a total Of about $500 miles.
1t DIS a source of much qualification
and especial credit n importance
to Wilmington that this city is head
quarters for this great system OF rail
roads, a boon of incalculable financial
value to every branch of business. 1t
is a favor to Wilmington the magnitude
and value of which from a business
view point, while already apparent
in a very large measure will certainly
ere long develop many fold the
affairs of the great consolidated COM
pany are fully organized and settled
in accordance with the general plans
of the officials.
Another source of qualification to
the people of this city in the results
of the consolidation is that it places
our townsman Mr.. Warren G. Elliott
formerly the able president of the
Wilmington and Weldon Railroad
Company and Mr.. James +. Post, (to
the manor born) formerly secretary
and treasurer of the Wilmington and
Weldon and other roads, at the head
of the consolidated system of $500
miles of road, as respectively president
and secretary and treasurer, honors
and trusts to an eminent degree worth
lily bestowed.
