NORTH CAROLINA MELONS.
Fruit Being Brought By Rail anc
Not Bv Vessel

Watermelons from North Carolina are or
sale at the 18th street wharf market but
they were brought to this city by rail and
not by vessel. as Is usual at this time OF
the year, and 1t is doubtful when the first
cargo will come by vessel. Usually at
this time in the year the commission men
at the 18th street wharf have advices
from North Carolina as to when the YES
sells would start for this market, but as
yet nothing has been heard from the
North Carolina growers as to when they
propose to ship. Vessels with cargoes
Of the fine fruit aboard may be on their
way now. for all the dealers know, and no
one would be surprised to see a vessel
laden with the melons come into port at
any time. They will certainly be here
within the next week or ten days, and
the fish wharf will wake up from the
slumber 1t has been INDUCING in since
the close of the oyster season.

The body of white man was found
about 100 yards from North Chesapeake
Beach last Sunday morning. The cor
oner of Anne Arundel county was noti-
fed and held an inquest. The man was
about sixty years of age. No marks
were found on the body and the cor
oner decided that it be buried on the
spot. A box was secured from Chesa-
peake Beach and, with prayers by sew
eral persons present, the body was low
