Mr.. Robinson walked slowly to the
front window, looked out at the row OF
hacks that were lined up in front, took
two puts at a cigar. put one foot up on
the single chair IN the room and looked
like a man who was mentally discussing
something mighty weighty

Dame rumor had it that the gentlemen
had negotiated for shop site but in all
probability the rurnor was like the empty

Local men. who are in touch with the
Orient people, say that they are not yet
ready to enter into negotiations for
shop site. They also say that they can
not be ready until they have # definite
" settled where the road is going TO run
through the city and that they cannot
know until tho city council gives them
some streets.
But local people do not always know !
This is exemplife6 in the difference in
their opinion. one man told an Eagle re-
porter. IN the strictest confidence. as to |
his name, that an option had been taken !
on land south of Harry street. including |
some of the fair grounds, for the shops. !
He absolutely knew this, he said.

II DID NOT WORK
Sheriff Simmons Discovers a
Bold Conspiracy
TO LIBERATE PRISONERS
CenSpirators Manage to Get
Themselves in Jail.

The vigilance of Sheriff Simmons and
his officers has prevented a jail delivery
in this city.
Instead of sixteen prisoners breaking
out as was planned. Tom Diffendoffer
and Tom Conway have broken into the
jail. They are accused of planning the
jail delivery.
For about week past Sheriff Simmons
and Jailor Dick Dodd have been under
the impression that the prisoners in the
county jail were planning to escape
and they have repeatedly searched the
jail and have renewed their vigilance to
prevent a jail break.
The plan by which the prisoners hoped
to escape were yesterday given away by
James Craig a boy held on the charge
Of stealing some brass from a threshing
machine.
1t seems that some time ago there was
a bunch Of old keys about the Jail that
were missing. Some of these keys would
unlock the jail. It seems that Diffen-
eoffer was confined in the Jail at the
time the keys disappeared. He was a
trusty and it now appears that he got
hold Of the keys and hid them in the
basement OF the Jail for future use in
case he should ever need them.
There must have been some one In the
jail that Diffendoffer wanted out. 1t
is claimed that two or tire days ago he
wrote 4 note to Craig and sent it to the
jail by little boy. In this note he
told Craig to tell the prisoners where
the keys were hidden in the basement.
Dick Dodd got that letter and a search
revealed the long missing keys just where
Diffendoffer said they could be found. 1t
was revealed to the officers by one of
the inmates that Tom Connoy gained ad-
mittance to the jail for the purpose CT
getting the keys and aiding the prisoners
to make their escape.
When the whole plot was revealed
Sheriff Simmons began to look for Diffen-
endoffer but he could not locate him.
Chief Burt and the police force were
notified by Sheriff Simmons that he want
ed him and yesterday morning Mr.. Diff
fendofer was landed IN the city prison
and the sheriff notified to come and get
his man.
Conway had been located and when the
behind the bars Deputy Sheriff J. II. Nc
Pherson went out and soon landed Con-
way.
A warrant has been sworn out for both
charging them with entering INTO q con-
spiracy TO Hberate the prisoners from |
the county Jail. Under the laws of this |
state this is a penitentiary offenso.
The Railways at the county jail are |
considered just as safe as the rotary and !
it is the custom to allow the prisoners to |
have the run OF the hall during the day. |
There seems to be little doubt that some |
evening the prisoners would have all es- |
capped If the conspiracy had not been dis !
covered in time TO prevent It.
Sheriff Simmons does not want any /
jail breaks and he very justly feels hap
by over the discovery of the plot to lber
ate the prisoners. He will see that these
men who were in the conspiracy are pros
ecuted to the full extent Of the law. He
wants the people on the outside of the
county Jail to learn that it is a dangerous
business to try to aid prisoners to es-
cane.

HUMAN FREIGHT
a Man Shipped From Hamburg as
Freight In the Hold of a Vessel

New York, December 2.-When a
'shoreman today dropped into the hold
of the steamer Palatia, of the Ham
hurg-American line, just arrived at the
Iioboken docks, he was startled to hear
a weak voice call for water. Then he
heard means. Summoning assistance,
he made a search and found a man ~
ing across some salt sacks. The man
tonight is at a hospital with little
chance Of recovery. Investigation
shows that the stranger had been box
ed up in Germany in a packing case
marked u. B. IL In the case was a
small bottle which a contained Whis-
key, and also some crumbs of bread.
A piece of paper was ound marked
John Beck The box was marked in
German: This side up; with care.
There were no air holes in the cas- and
the hatch to the hold had not been
opened from the time the Palatia left
port until today. The man was well
dressed, evidently a German about 81
years old. He had less than a dollar III
German money in his pockets. Up tC
the present the cOnsignee or cons1gno1
of the case has not been discovered.

CAROLINA STEAMSHIP COMPANY
THE ENTERPRISE A BIG ADVANTAGE
FOR WILMINGTON.
The Tweedy Trading Company VIII
Represent the New York ELd-what
Business Men Can Do When They Try

The talk OF the town yesterday was
the organization Of the Carolina steam
ship Company on Monday. The Mes
senger yesterday contained an account
of the meeting of the stockholders and
their organization for the purpose Of
running a line of steamers between
Wilmington and New York.
The announcement was made hat
the capital stock OF the company is
$125.0 0O. half OF which has been sub
scribed by the merchants of Wilmington
and the other half by New York PAR
ties. We learn hat the New York il
terest is held by the Tweedy Trading
Company. a British corporation, which
has branch Offices throughout the
world.
Early in the coming year the COM
pany will begin operations. The steam
ship Cantania, a steel vessel Of 1900
tons displacement, will be employed in
opening the business. She is now be-
ing run by the Tweedy Trading Com
pany between New Orleans and Porto
Rico. Other steamers will, however, be
operated whenever the business iutl-
fies it.
Ffty-two Wilmington merchants are
subscribers to the capital stock Of the
company and 50 of our shipping con-
tractors have pledged their contracts to
the new company. This within itself
means that the new line will start out
with a good patronage, but we have no
doubt there are other shippers who
have not given pledges that will ha
patrons of the line.
The new company has been organized
to give Wilmington equal advantages
with other Atlantic ports in the way of
ocean freightS. Our merchants are
confident that the new line will be one
Of the biggest things that ever figured
in the commercial interests of Whining
ton. and certainly it near a great deal
for our merchants, as it will enable our
JobberS to compete with establish
ments Of any city on the seaboard.
The organization Of the new company
is the outcome of the Wilmington Tar
if Association and it shows what can
be done when our business men get to-
gether. They have united earnestly in
this movement and it indicates a very
e~nterprising spirit among them. The
movement was set on foot after an i'm
mense amount Of work by several of
our leading business men who spent
their money freely in getting the move
ment on foot.
The new line is an assured success as
we learn that it is already underwrit-
ten by responsible parties who guaran-
tee 6 per cent on the investment for
ten years.
