When the news reached here last
week OF the loss of the steamer Olive
it was soon rumOred that Mr.. X. l..
Green, of Henderson, was passenger
on the i'll fated boat at the time. Mr..
Green was travelling in the Eastern
part OF the State and wrote his wife
that he was going to Edenton the
next day. When he learned of the
wreck of the Olive, apprehending
that his wife would naturally sup
pose that he was on the boat he tel
e@raphed her that he was safe. In
this way the report got out that he
was among those who were saved
from the wreck after long hours of
exposure and suffering He was for
tunate i'll not being on the boat and
no one realizes this more than Mr..
Green himself He arrived home

and was warmly congratulated by
friends upon his escape

posture to the water and cold but is

DIVERS RESUME WORK.
Efforts to Recover Bodies of Persons
Drowned on the Wrecked Steamer
Olive.
Special to Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.

Special to Norfolk Nirginian-Pilot.
SUFFOLK, Va, Feb. 23.-Despite
the efforts OF the Albemarle Steam
Navigation Company to recover
them, the bodies of fourteen victims
who persisted in the steamer Olive
disaster yet lie beneath the chilling
waters of Chowan river, n. {.
They are expected to be recovered
soon. Today a wrecking company,
attended by expert divers, left for
the scene. and will begin work at 6
o'clock Tuesday morning Because
of the perils they risked the first di-
vers who went there were afraid to
prosecute their work when they had
found two bodies. Owing to the
wrecked condition OF the ships tim
bers the divers several times fell
through from the hurricane deck to
the lower one. They could not look
over the central part of the vessel
where most of the bodies are sup
posed to be.
Mr.. j. A. PretlOw. one OF the Olive S
owners, said tonight that the COM
pany is putting forth every possible
effort to make the river give up, not
only it's freight of human dead, but
also they will drag the bottom in
seeking trunks and other valuables.
1t is expected to take the rest of the
week to raise the ship and complete
the search. Some bodies may never
be found. The place of disaster is
about thirty miles from a telegraph
station, Mr.. Pretlow says.

In MemorIam.

The following beautiful tribute to
the memory of the late Mrs Maria
Parham, beloved as few women in
Henderson have been and whose
death is lamented as a public loss to
the community, was written by her
girlhOOd companion and life long
friend Mrs V L. Pendleton, OF War
rentOn:
Maria Switzerland Parham dead. She
to whom amidst all LIES quests, there
seemed but worthy, one-to do men
good
Back through the vista of years, see
her-a lovely young girl, the gayest of
the gay, amidst scenes where youth and
beauty and Joy held full sway
Again, see her When the shadow of
misfortune and sorrow has fallen. Grim
visaged war has swept away wealth, a
beloved father is dead and an idOlized
brother-a young lieutenant, with Con
federate flag draped about his rude coffin,
has been laid to rest.
With that nobility of soul that knows
how to bear and rise above misfortune,
Maria, beautiful and accomplished, be-
comes the stay and support of mother
and younger sisters.

1.-THE PRISONER OF ZENDA"
To be Presented at the Academy of
Music, Raleigh, "ednes day Night,
March 4th.

The decidedly adventurous and
original novel, The Prisoner OF
Zenda," written by Anthony Hope,
created not a little Juror upon its
publication and was decidedly inter
esting in narrative, rich in sentiment
and unique in dramatic incident.
The play written from the book has
received an equally warm reception
and proven more entertaining than
the book
1t is hardly necessary to speak OF
the plot now SO well known to the
reading public. 4 brisk and adven-
turous narrative that takes its cue
from the traditions of the past, i'll an
age when honor was first and all else
in life of secondary import. The
prologue and four succeeding acts
embrace the important events OF the
story. and in their acting form have
lost none of their flavor, but the in
tensity of situations and dramatic
episodes have been materially height
ened.
Ernest Shipman's production OF
this romance will be presented at the
Academy of Music, Raleigh, on We'd
nesday night, March 4th.

Death of 0. w. BlacknaII, Jr.


News and Observer.
0. W. Blacknall, Jr, died February
IS, 1903, in Phoenix, Ariz., where he
went in December for his; health. He
was of an exceeding retiring DISPOSE
ton and had few acquaintance, but
all who knew him became his devoted
friends. Gifted with rare cOnversa-
tional powers, with an untia@gilg
flow OF the most rare and genial
humOr. widely read with Il most com
prehensive and accurate memory he
charmed and drew to him all who
knew him, high or low. His love of
books instead of initiating against
his business success, added to it. In
fact he had a marvellous faculty of
deriving practical benefit from all
sorts and kinds OF knowledge. His
insight into business amounted to
genius Though only twenty-five he
had already accumulated Il fortune.
HeWas never known to malle an error
in Judgment. Everything that he
touched succeeded. But his unselfish-
ness was so great that he wanted
nothing for himself He strOve to
make money only that it might bene
fit those whom he loved.
AS secretary of the Continental
Plant Co., at kittrell, he organized a
distinctly new business, worked out
himself the multitudious details
necessary in the starting Of Il new
business and carried them all through
to success Had he lived a few years
longer he would have been Il very
rich man.
Upright, truthful, honorable, moral
he has left a stainless name. From
the day of his birth he showed that
precocity of intellect which marks
those whose stay in the world cannot
be long. But in the twenty-five years
of his busy and happy life he lived
more, enjoyed more, made more, gave
more happiness to Others than the
average man could in Il dozen lives.

number of friends and relatives assembled
there to pay their last tribute of respect
