ager here for the Southern Bell Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company, a &C.
casion to go to Whiteville on business.
While there he learned that the Column
bus Telephone Company had organized
and was building extensive connections
through the country. He suggested
that the lines be connected with Will
mingtor and operated in connection
with the Bell Company's local exchange
and long distance line.
Mr.. ]. w. HARRISON, Of Clarendon, is
president of the Columbus Telephone
Company, and Mr.. E. A. Perry, of
Chadbourn. is secretary and treasurer.
On Monday they came to Wilmington
and closed a contract with Manager &C
Manus. to connect with Wilmington,
lease Bell telephones and operate in
connection with the exchange here.
Messrs. HARRISON and Perry say they
VIII complete their line into Wilmington
in thirty days. They already have ex-
changes at Whiteville and Chadbourn
and have some phones II, with lines ex-
tending to Lake Waccamaw and to the
vi lnc ptCht1S dIOuIO
Chadbourn. They now have a line built
nearly to Councils Station and will
build from there to Wilmington. They
will have connections with Whiteville,
Chadhourn, Southport, Bogue, Ashepole,
Boardman, Clarendon, Lake Wacca-
nav, Shallotte, Councils Sstation,
Cronly, Conway, and all intermediate
points to be operated with local eX-
changes at Chadbourn, Whiteville,

Station and Conway, S. G.
The lines will be built under specif-
cations of the Southern Bell Telephone

good commercial service. The Column

sure Manager McManus that they car
build to Wilmington by the first of
September. They will open UP a terri
tory with which the merchants of
Wilmington have long desired telephone
connection, ana will give them service
for a radius of from 75 TO 100 miles.
In addition to their toll lines the Co
lumbuS Telephone Company Will have
connections with country merchants
and many prominent berry growers and
farmers in their territory. There lacks
only 20 miles of line to be built to Will
mington and President HARRISON says
when his lines are built he will have
500 telephones which Wilmington mer-
chants can reach through his eX-
changes.
Manager McMsnuS said last night
that the deal with the Columbus Tele-
phone Company will also give their eX-
changes connection with Raleigh. Colds
boro, New York, and other cities north
and south, over the Bell company's long
distance line now being built. The
long distance line is now built as far as
Faison and will be in operation before

The board Of directors of the Young
Mems Christian Association met in con-
ference Tuesday evening with State
Secretary Knebel, who was in the city
for the purpose. ~
For some time a special committee
has been seeking to seltct a man for
the general s~eCrGtaryship to succeed
Mr.. George H. Fitch, who resigned a
few months ago on account Of impaired
health.
The selection OF Mr.. Fich's successor
has naturally caused some delay as
the tremendous growth of association
work throughout the country is de-
handing, as never before, trained, ex-
perienced men TO fill these important
positions of leadership.
At this meeting Tuesday night a
unanimous call was extended to Mr..
Charles Dushaw, of Charleston, to be-
come the general secretary of the Will
mington association. He has accepted
n will enter upon his duties Septem-
Der 1St.
Mr.. Dushaw has had nine years of
experience in this work and for the
past three years has done fine work
in the Charleston association, which
he served as physical director. Before
going TO Charleston he filled impor-
tant positions with the association in
Birmingham, Ala, and Danville, H.
He has recently decided to take up the
work of a general secretary and comes
to the Wilmington association with an
all-round experience. In addition to his
duties here, he will conduct gymnasium
classes. When he moves to the city
this fall he will be accompanied by his
wife and two children
The many friends of DR.. n. NJ. Wet
Eel, the popular physical director of
this association, will regret to learn
that he has decided to take up work in
another city. Dr.. Wetzel has several
places under consideration, but has
not yet definitely decided which he will
accept. We are sorry that DR.. Wetzel
is to leave here. He has been most
efficient and faithful in the discharge
of his duties and has given the most
eminent abstraction. When he departs
he will carry with him the best wishes
of everybody in Wilmington.

THE KENTUCKY FEUD.
Body of James Buried.
Trouble About Over.

Lexington, KY, July 23.-The body
of James Cockr1ii, who was assasinated
Monday at Jackson, KY, was laid to
rest today in the Cockrill family bury
ing ground, three miles below jackson.
An immense -concourse attended the
body to its final resting place.
Many prominent men have left Jack
son. Clinton Wilder, a railroad man,
who made the statement that the town
ought to be placed under martial law
was quietly informed that he had bet
ter leave. He arrived here last night
and says ne is afraid to return. These
who know best the situation in Jack
son say the most dangerous crisis in
the entire feud is at hand.
A member of the Cockrill faction ar
rived here today from Jackson, and
after asking that his name be with
held, because It's publication would
mean his assassination. said that the
assassins of James Cockrill, who wa
shot there on Monday, are known. He
claims that four men were in the court
room when the shots were fired, n
that two fired from different windows
simultaneously. These men were aided
to escape during the night and their
whereabouts are now known. He claims
the COckrill faction will not undertake
any assaSsinations, but will be inclined
to wait until the law is able to bring
the murdererS to justice.

BABY
Little Girl Fountiling Left in n
Basket at the James Walker Me-
MORTAL Hospital Tuesday NiEht-It
Was Dressed in Nice CIOthes-A
Home Wanted for the Youngste

A girl baby about two weeks old, one
of the hospital physicians says, was
found on the steps of the rear portico
Of the James Walker Memorial Hos
pital Tuesday night at 11:45 o'clock.
Milk Hanson, the pharmacist, was in
the ~dispensary and heard the vigorous
squalls of an infant, and knowing that
there was no baby about the hospital,
went in the direction from which. the
walls of the infant came. The noise
appeared to be in h back yard, but
when he opened the door opening on
the rear porch, and peared into the
darkness, he located the crying Of the
baby on the steps.
The little one had a healthy pair of
lungs and was using them to great
advantage, as it attracted enough at
tention to be taken in out Of the dark
ness, where some one had cruelty aban-
doned it. 1t was in a rattan basket
twelve inches long n nearly filled
with cotton. The infants feet were
hanging over the edge Of the basket
and it was lying in a most uncomfort-
able position.
The little stranger was taken in, of
course. 1t is a fine looking baby and
is said to be a very g~ood<brat, too. 1t
had on fine clothes, but there was nc
extra suit in the basket with it.
1t is not known who brought the
founding to the hospital, but a man was
seen in the back yard just before the
baby was found and it is supposed thai
he carried it there.
The hospital managers would be glaC
for some one to give it a good home.

Daring and Heroic Deed.

We are glad we still live in the days
ton a man who on yesterday performed
a deed that was as thrilling as it was
heroic. The hero was Justice G. w.
Bornemann, and his deed was the dar-
ing seizure OF a runaway horse, proba-
bly, saving one if not two lives.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Preston
Bridgers was being driven in a one
horse Surry by a colored driver, and
when near Front and Princess streets
about IL o'clock some part of the har-
ness gave way, causing the horse to
come ung~oVernable. He started up
Princess street and was kicking, rearing
and plunging, and the driver finally lost
control of him. He increased his speed
ataevery moment, and when he got in
front of the confectionery store of Mr..
]. w. Plummer, Jr., people on the street
shuddered for the safety of the lady.
Justice Bornemann was coming down
Princess street with a couple of gentle
men, and seing the unmanageable horse
in a run he jumped into the street and
seized the reinS. The morse reared and
plunged and slung himself side to side
but Mr.. Bornemann held fast. He was
Swayed like a pendulum, and people
thought he woud be dashed to pieces,
but he held on. If he had turned loose
he might ave been dashed to death
against the ground or been trampled to
death, but he is one of the kind that
does not let go. The horse Utterly kick
ed himself clear of the harness and
while Mr.. Bornemann had held him so
he couldn't run, a couple or gentlemen
assisted Mrs. Bridgers from the sur.
She was remarkably cool and gratefully
thanked Mr.. Bornemann for the fearful
risk he had made for her.
Mr.. Bornemann's arms and chest were
very sore yesterday afternoon but he
was down town and was warmly con-
graduated on all sides.

London, July 23.-The house of COM
mons tonight entered on a series of
Irish debates. When the estimates for
Ireland came up for discussion John
Redmond, chairman of the Irish parlia-
-mentary party, moved the reduction of
the salary of the chief secretary, George
Wyndham. Mr.. Redmond maintained
that Mr.. Wyndham had lone nothing
for the country and that the Irish prob
lem was more dangerous to the empire
today thar it had been for a quarter
Of a century.
Mr.. Wyndham, in refuting this as
Sertion, declared he could at present
offer no constructive policy and main
tanned that there should be no cessation
of agrarian strife, no revival of indus
try and no staunching of the flow of en-
igration, and the idea of home rule was
impossible even to those who cherished
it unless and until the ~dislocating pro-
cess of social prescription and the
miasma Of fear which penetrated and
paralyzed every nerve of national life
were repudiated by the good sense OF
the people and repressed by the power
of the government.
