Loan Exhibit at the Woman's Club

has been shown by the Savannah pub

not as crowded as on the two first days,

ing engraving was loaned by the Misses
Rebecca and Fannie Minis. Mrs. Isaac

them after Vandyke. The oldest and
one of the most beautiful objects in the
heirloom cabinet was the emerald ring
500 years old, loaned by Mrs. Edward
S. Elliott.
Among the contributors to the exhibit
whose names have not already been
mentioned are Mrs. Raymond M. De-
mere, Mrs. William E. Guarard, Mrs.
George l.. cope, MISS hollock, ana MISS
Fannie King.

due. This committee was composed of
Mrs. Frank b. Screven, chairman;

DISPUTE OVER FOOT OF LAND.
Mr.. S. W. Sanders Finds That Lot
Bought on Market Street Does Not
Contain as Much Land as He
Thought.

Mr.. S. w. Sanders put a force of men
to work yesterday On his lot adjoining
the dc DeRosset house, preparatory
to erecting a building on the same, but
u dispute arose as to where the line
was and work ceased at once.
This property originally belonged to
Col. w. l.. DeRosset and was supposed
to from SO feet on Market street. Mr..
p. PearsaH bought the house and his
deed calls for So feet. Mr.. Sanders
bought the vacant lot and thought
he was getting 40 feet. 1t now devel-
ops that the block of stores on Market
to the west of the vacant lot extend
too far to the east. 1t is not known
which store ii is but there is one or
several Of them that have been built
further to the east than the deed
called for.
Mr.. Sanders is not content to sur
render a foot OF his property and if
h corner on which the lot Is located
the DeRosset house should be counted
as beginning at the edge Of the house
on Third street, this lot would have 50
feet and Mr.. Sanders 10, but the same
extends a oot out on the sidewalk
and the owner contends that this
should not be counted.
Property is very valuable on Mar
ket street at this POINT inc the foot
OF land may result in a law suit.

Attention is called to the advertise
ment of the Southern Mutual Home
and Real Estate Co. in this issue.
This is one of the numerous Build
ing and Loan Associations Of Whining
ton, all of which appear to flourish
and maxi money for their stockhold-

In some respects the Southern Mu-
tuar' differs from the others, princi-
pally in that while the others confine
their business within the city'S limits,
this Company seeks it's patrons all
over the State, and sells its Stock and
makes loans on the same terms every
where. In the small towns-too small
to support a local Association-in the
country-it makes no difference; al
now have the opportunity which here
tofore was limited to those owning
property in the larger own and CT
ties. None but those conversant with

Citations have been to the cities, can

such advantages. The fact that this
Company numbers among its stock
holders some of u leading citizens
and most substantial business men
and that it's methods of business have
been carefully supervised by persons
Of experience in the building and loan
business gives assurance that 1t will
meet the same success in it's special
field that the other Companies of Will

DECISION IN FREE PASS CASE
OuiniOn Filed by Supreme Court i'm
Case of Mcneil VS.. Railway.
Especial to The Messenger.)

Raleigh, N. c., June d.-The Supreme
court filed an opinion in a YER i'm
|portant case, hat of Mcneil against
Railway, known as the free pass case.
MCNEIL, the editor of a paper was
travelling on a free pass, which a
expired. He showed it to the couduc-
tor and told the latter he had an agree
Iment, by which he was to be given a
free pass for publishing the schedule,
but hat if the conductor insisted on
payment, MCNEIL would pay. The
conductor did not insist, but passed
Mcneil. The train left the track
Mcneil was hurt, sued, got $4,000 dam
ages in the Superior court. The Su-
Ipreme court holds that the contrac.
was illegal by which the railway agreed
to give Mcneil unlimited free pass
for printing the schedule. A majority Of
the court CChief Justice Clark and Jus
ltice Montgomery dissenting) found
that while the contract Of carriage is
Illegal and consequently void, that Nc
Neil was a gratuitous passenger and as
such entitled to all protection given the
Ordinary passengers, hat the duty of
the railway company to carry him
safely did not arise out of the contract
but was attached. by implication OF
law to common carriers, as one Of the
arising from its occupation and
that his injury was not OF contract for
carriage, but was a breach of public
duty. Justice Douglas delivered the
Iopinion. The Supreme court filed the
following opinions: Vann VS.. Ed
wards, from HEREFORD, new trial;
[Creech VS.. Cotton Mill. from New
Hanover, new trial; McNeill VS.. Dur

from Moore, petition to rthear allow

HAD LEFT LAMP
Burning by Bed and is Supposed That
i'm His Sleep He Knocked 1t Over
Came to Wilmington Yesterday
From EIiZabcthtOwn-Is Supposed
TO Be i'm Timber BusineSS-Was
Carried to James Walker Memorial
HOspital-Burns May Prove Fatal.

Mr.. a. S. Kemp, of Elizabethtown,
was seriously and perhaps fatally burn
ed this morning at the Bonitz Hotel.
He was carried to the James Walker
Memorial hospital and early this morn
ing was resting as we'll as could be
expected.
This morning about 1870 o'clock the
guests of the hotel were startled by
loud screams issuing from a room on
the third floor. Several guests ran
from their rooms into the hall way to
learn the cause of the excitement. The
first thing that met their gaze was a
man enyeloped in flames. One gen.
tlemaH who had more presence of
mind than any of the others ran into
his room. snatched up a blanket and
wrapped. it around the man ~smothering
the flames, but not before he had beer
fearfuIly burned.
Mr.. Kemp was so seriously burned
and his pain was so great that no in
telligent explanation could be got as to
how the accident occurred. The lamp
had been sitting on a table near the
bed and it is supposed that he had
laid down on the bed and fallen asleep
without blowing out the lamp and in
his sleep threw his hand against the
lamp and overturned it. When the
room was entered the broken lamp was
lying on the floor by the bed. The top
of the table on which the lamp had
been sitting was on fire.
The clothes of the burned man were
saturated in kerosene oil and it was
very hard to smother the flames. His
abdomen, chest, neck and both arms.
were fearfully burned. He was bur
ed worse on the abdomen and left arm
than anywhere else. His undershirt,
which was of rather heavy goods, was
burned almost completely off of him.
Mr.. w. A. Bonitz, manager of the
hotel, summoned the ambulance and
carried him to the hospital. 1t was
said at the hospital hat his burns
were very serious and might prove
fatal, but that it would be several days
before anything positive could b. told
In regard to his condition.
The family of the injured man will
be telegraphed to this morning about
the accident. Mr.. Kemp appears to be
d man about thirty years of age and
from the papers on his person it is
thought that he is engaged in the tim
Der business. He came to Wilmington
yesterday.

confirmed.
Paris, June 1.-The request of the
United States for the cooperation OF
France in bringing about the release
of Ion Perdicaris and Cromwell Varley
has produced a very favorable impress
sion at the foreign office here, where
much significance is attached to the
request, as embodying the first distinct
international recognition of Frances
influence in Morocco. II is
expected that this viii lead to a more
emphatic exercise Of French authority
over Morocco, with the view TO sup
pressing lawlessness and the protection
of foreigners. but the nature OF the flu
ture steps is not announced, pending
the negotiations on the subject.
Ambassador Porter called at the for
eign office today and conferred with
Foreign Minister DelCasse relative to
the course Of the Washington cabinet
Yesterday DelCasse said negotiations
were now progressing at Tangfer and
at Fese, the chief reliance being placed
on the Sultan's yielding before the
united representations of France,
Great Britain and the United States.

hat consul General Gummere has been
