Wireless Teiegfaphy.
A Station is to be Located
dupont Building

Arrangements have been made by the
American Wireless Telegraph Co. with
the owners of the dupont Building, the
highest structure i'll Wilmington, to es
tablish a station o2 top OF the dupont
Building for the purpose Of reaching
points as far south as Georgia and as far
north as Maine.
The local station is a connecting link
in the successful chain of offices along
the Atlantic coast. The telegraph com
pany was particularly pleased with its
success in obtaining the privilege from
the DUPONT people, as the building is
not only much higher than any -othel
building in the city, but is liable tc
remain so for many years, and is alsc
located on a high point OF ground. The
messages received there can readily be
sent to the other stations along the
coast. The plan is to have the locaI
station catch many messages from the
water, as there are many impertaptssg
steamship lines passing to and
New York on the Atlantic that are n
lily in the radius reachable from Wilnl
ION. 1t will take at least two months I'd
tablish the station there. S8

GARREPY REACHES BREWToN.
He Is Walking on Wager From Bos'
 ton to San Francisco.

Brewton, December 19-(Special.) )- Harry Garrepy, the 19-year-old boy who Is walking from Boston to San Francisco and return on a wager, was here yester- day. William Allen of New Haven, Conn.,. Is backing him with a wager of $1000 if he completes the trip in one and one-half years and breaks all previous records from San Francisco to Boston. The lowest record is five months and six days, and Garrepy claims he can make the trip in four and one-half months, walking an av- craze of 25 miles per day. He reached here a month and half ahead of his scheduled time, and says by the time he reaches New Orleans he will be two months ahead of time. His average walk ing so far is about 9 miles per day.
 The young man carries with him creden- tials from prominent pleasure resort peo- pie, newspaper clippings, etc., from places where he has been to show that he Is not faking. He claims to be an orphan and is selling photographs of himself, does high diving and sings in theatres to pay his expenses and support two sisters and a brother.
 He left here this morning at 730 and Is scheduled to arrive in Mobile Monday afternoon or evening.
