His Wilmington Record.

The Wilmington Star, of Sunday,
says:
"The arrest of John c. Davis in
Washington yesterday was received
with much interest here by those who
followed current events about the
year 1890 in this city. He was a men,
Der of the bar here before that time
and was known as a man of great
benefactions until suddenly it devel-
oped one day that all his operations
had been carried on with other peo-
ple's money in much the same way as
he seems to have operated in Wash
ington, widows and administrator of
estates being his chief victims. He
largly built Fifth Street M. e. Church
and installed there a costly set of
chimes, which were later taken out,
the congregation, however, assuming
the other church debt and having
struggled until only few years ago
under it's burden. He was arrested
and tried in the Superior Court on the
charge of fraud, and it is estimated
that the money involved was some
thing like $4,000 Or $4,000. The
defense in court was insanity and this
was sustained, Davis being committed
to an asylum in Raleigh, where he
remained from May "a, 1892, to No
vember 80, 1897, period Of five
years, during which he escaped
twice, but was later discharged as
cured, when he took up his residence
in Washington. He was 80 years OF
age at that time. Recently those who
suffered by Davis operations here
have been receiving checks for va
rious amounts from time to time, ac-
companied by personal letters in
which he stated that he was doing
well in Washington and hoped to pay
every cent he owed. The source OF
his income was not hinted at until
the notice of his arrest reached here
yesterday. The outcome of his case
in Washington will be waited with in
terest by many peple in Wilmington

Lexington Has A Big Fire.

Lexington. N. c., May 10.-Not in
years has Lexington suffered a cost
lier fire than that which gutted the
March Hotel Sunday morning at an
early hour. The flames, first discov-
cred at 1890 by c. G. Moore of
Charlotte, a guest, swept through the
two-and-three story brick building
very rapidly and offered stubborn re-
sistance to the firemen, who, however,
eventually conquered the flames and
confined the fire to the hotel.
The property was worth some $15.-
600. Insurance to the amount of $7,-
600 was carried.
Mrs. M. B. Brown, lessee OF the
property, lost everything, but In pro-
tected by $4,000 insurance.

MIR. ROOSEVELT FOR MAYOR
General Stewart l.. Woolford Nomi.
mates Him.

New York. May 9.-The nomina-
tion OF Theodore Roosevelt for mayor
OF New York City is proposed by
General Stewart l.. Woolford, former
Minister to Spain. in a statement yes
terday.
1t is admitted that "the boom thus
launched has neither the knowledge
nor the consent Of Mr.. Roosevelt, "
but 1t is declared that "an insistent
and unanimous demand upon the part
OF the people OF the city would COM
pei him to accept"
General WoOlford's statement is,
in part. as follows:
IF / had the power to nominate
and elect the next mayor of New
York City, | should, without a mo-
ment's hesitation make Theodore
Roosevelt that mayor. In dignity
and Importance the office ranks next
to the Presidency. The problem of
city government is the greatest prob
lem of the day. and | am inclined to
think that a great and good mayor
OF New York could do more to the
entire country today than even the
President can.
Mr.. Roosevelt was born here and
knows the city. He has been Police
Commissioner and should know the
inside workings of the one depart
ment on which the well-being of the
city largely depends He has been
Governor and knows the relations
between the city and state. He has
been President and should be free
from selfish ambition. BY his pecu-
liarly direct and effective executive
ability he seems to me to be the best
man for this great civic trust and
