DISCUSS BOULEVARD PROJECT Council in Special Session Yesterday Considered Drainage and Im provement of Macomber's Ditch No Action. It is net improbable that the citi : ns of Wilmington will be called up- :i during the next 12 months to vote . the question, of issuing bonds to the amount of $100,000 or $125-000for the drainage and improvement of Macom- r s ditch, in the eastern part of the :;v. The suggestion of a bond issue was made at a meeting of Council ;. esterday morning, when the Macom i ! -r's ditch proposition was the spe cial matter under consideration. It ,'rraed to be the opinion of those present that the work would cost viiiii.i'OO or more and members of Council gave it as their opinion that he improvement could not be under :aken with only the present funds in hand and in sight, though they recog nize the importance of improving the .'.rain. Council adopted a resolution to de : -r action until a later meeting in the I pe that ? some way will be opened v.j thin the next few weeks by which the improvement may.be made with out waiting to have the Legislature ; ass a bill authorizing a bond issue. At present there appears small chance or the necessary amount of money be ing obtained in time for the improve ment to be made this year. In the t vent a bill is passed by the next Leg islature for a bond issue, an election wili have to be held and citizen will say whether or not the improvement shall be made. City Engineer Pillett stated at the meeting yesterday that he had an es-" 'iniate cf the work and that the cost to improve the ditch along 14th street :n itself would be about $57,000 and to provide the proposed boulevard, side walks, trees, etc., that it would cost SH9.S00. v Councilman .Tiencken suggested that In order to carry the improvement td o point where the water will not be emptied upon the cemetery it would cost about $120,000, in his opinion, and that after careful; consideration of the t mire matter he had come to the con clusion that the proper thing to do would be to ask the next Legislature to pass a bill authorizing a special bond electicn. He said that it would not be feasible to care for any portion ot tne scneme in tne annual Duaget THB STAB, WHarHTGTOlT, HtfC., WEDNESDAY. MAT 8; 1912. HEALTH DEPARTMENT BUSY Using All Possible Precautions to Pre vent Any Outbreak of Disease Conditions -of The City At Present As the Summer season draws nearer the city health department is using every possible precaution to prevent any outbreak of disease, and present indications are that Wilmington will have a cleaner bill of health for the coming season - than for some time. Dr. Chas. T. NesSitt has prepared a plan for reducing the danger of ty phoid to a minimum and has written a personal letter to all physicians in the city asking their co-operation in the plan. An outline of the plan, with a short summary of. health conditions at pres ent, as prepared by Dr. Nesbitt, is a.-? follows : "At the present time there are but three cases of typhoid In this city. Two of these cases are colored pa tients In the hospital. At no time dur ing the past six months has the num- BAR SETS THE CALENDAR Cases Arranged for Trial at th Civil Term of Superior Court Which Begins the Latter Part of the Month. The calendar for the two weeks' civ il term of New Hanover Superior Court, which begins May 27th, was ar ranged yesterday morning at a meet ing of the bar of the county in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court with Eugene S. Martin, Esq., presid ing. The meeting was largely attend ed and consumed about an hour. While the calendar contains considerably fewer cases than are usually set for trial at a two weeks term, yet there are a great many more cases arranged than can be reached unless unheaid or progress is made by the court. There are several interesting and important cases on the calendar, and the attorneys hope that .some of them may be reached during t"he term. Judge G. S. Ferguson, of Waynesville. will preside. The calendar as arrang ed is as follows: Monday, May 27th B. F. Penny vs. normal morbidity from that disease allotted by the statistics for cities of this size. In January there was but 25 per cent of the statistical allotment. but 25 per Tjent in February, 50 per cent in March and 30 per cent in April The status of this disease is therefore, at this (time highly gratifying. The health department desires to leave no stone unturned to prevent a recur rence of the experience during the Summer of 1911. The following plan has been formulated and this plan has been submitted to every physician in W ilmington with the earnest solicita tion of their professional support. Wo now desire to present this plan to the public -at large in order that all may understand and co-operate intelli gently. 'The health department will furnish a perfectly clean and new galvanized steel can to every household in which there may oceur a suspected or real case of typhoid fever. This can will contain a quantity of disinfectant and will be provided with a tightly-fitting lid. All excretions- from the patient are to be placed in this can or disin fectant immediately and the vessels in which the excretions, are received are to be immediately disinfected in additional solution which will be pro vided for that purpose. As often as is necessary, this can will be remove'. councilman Tiencken considered that , heaIth department.

C. L. R. A. Co.; in the matter of complete it. as the $5,000 or $10,000 that might be expended, would practi cally be wasted. He remarked that any ditching along 14th street new to divert the water from Macombers ditch would only mean extra cost if culverts should be placed there next year. He said that in his opinion the sewerage for that section of the city eventually would have to be cared for through Macomber's ditch, or its vicinity, when the municipal syptemJ is installed. Councilmen B. C. Moore and W. E Perdew stated that they saw no ob perfectly new exchange can will also be provided when required. A similar can containing a disinfectant solution will be- provided, into which bed linens, bed dresses and toilet linens used by the patient can be placed for disinfec tion before,. washing. This service will be furnished without cost to the citi zens. It. has been conclusively proved that the typhoid occurring in Wilming ton during the Summer months is pre dominatingly an infection transmitted from person to person through the ex crement by means of flies, soiled lin ens, and infected food and drink.

Councilman P. Q. Moore, in charge of the Department of Streets and Wharves, who has charge of the ex penditure of the bond issue money, said that as he saw it the only way a portion of the money could be used for drainage and boulevard work along 14th street would be to take the money al.eady appropriated for the improve-1 the urine and fecies of all real or sua pected cases of typhoid, that it will be possible to control the spread of this disease.

GRACE CHURCH REVIVAL Meeting Continues With Deep Interest Strong Sermons The revival at Grace Methodist church continues in interest and at tendance and despite the weather the congregation last night was large. Rev. E. K. McLarty, of Greensboro, who is assisting the pastor, preached an unusually strong sermon last night and was given the closest attention throughout his discourse. The revival is drawing to a close and the people of the city, members of Grace church especially, are urged to attend and bear Mr. McLarty. Rev. W. S. Ja coby is in charge of the personal workers' clas and fine work 'is being done under his leadership. A feature of the meeting Is the song service, Air. Frank Fitaeerald conducting the choir lis well as singing several solos at each meeting. . Through Mr. A. D. Wessell. lo cal agent for the North German Lloyd Steamship Line, Miss Gesine Boesch, cf this city, has engaged passage on the steamer Bradenburg. sailing from Baltimore May 27th, for Germany. She expects to return to Wilmington in j the Fall. Following an extended conference with Mr. H. H. Hussey, of Chicago, architect for the new Y. M. C. A. building, the 'boards of directors and the trustees of the Association last night voted to refer the preliminary plans back to the architect for altera tions, so as, to bring the ultimate cost of the structure, exclusive of furni ture, within the marginal limit which they estimated their 'building fund of $91,000 will allow. The meeting was held in the direct ors' room at the association, and the matter was gone into at length. Mr. Hussey explained his preliminary plans for the building, which hcive been before the directors and trustees for some time, and which he stated would call for an outlay of about $88,000. All the directors and trustees agreed that this amount would be more than they could put into the building exclusively, and as it was felt undesirable to elim inate any of the features shown in the prospective sketches, cmd plan2, the sense of the meeting was to the effect that it would be best to submit the plans back to Mr. Hussey, to be alter ed so as to lower the estimated cot. Mr. Hussey stated that he thought that this could be done. He explained that the plans before the meeting were only preliminary sketches and that they w6uld have to be worked out in detail, anyway. He stated that it would require probably a week or ten days-lo make the required .Iterations, and that It might be found necessary to make a complete new set of plans, embodying,' however, all ' the features of the building, as shown in the pros pective sketches. The directors and trustees felt that it would ib e wiser to delrythe actual starting of the work for a tew weeks, in order to be certain tht the struc ture would cost no more tnan their building fund will allow them to pay, rather' than go ahead and probably come out several thousand dollars in debt. Mr. Hussey assured them that the altered plans would be completed es rapidly as possible and would be sent back just as soon as finished. When they are received another meeting of the directors and trustees will be held. and if the plans anti specifications are found satisfactory they will be accept ed and the eontmct will ibeHet as soon afterward as possible. The matter oftf discontinuing the work of the Association infihe present building, which the association will have to give up Sept. 1st., earlier than on that date," was ' di -cussed, and al though no official auction was taken it is very probl .ble that this step will be decided upon. Secretary J, B. Hunt ington explained that there had been a falling, off in niet&bersbjp since the campaign for funds,11 for th'e new build ing, as many of the inenibers have sub scribed and are using the money they formerly paid for membership to meet their ccfftributtion to the campaign fund. . He alos pointed .put that the Sum mer season; is almost r.t- hand, and that the work of the gymnasium will soon be discontinued for the Summer. A considerable saving in operating ex penses could be effected by discontinu ing the Assocfation'4within a month or so, instead of- running until Septem ber, when the new owners will take charge. The sentiment of the meeting seemed largely in favor of this step, and a meeting will probably ibe held in the near future to decide it. June 1st was suggested as u- possible 'date for discontinuing the work of the As sociation. The form of material to be used in the new building was also discussed, Mr. Hussey calling the attention of the meeting to the matter- He stated that so far as the cost is concerned a num ber of different kinds of brick would be found practical, bu h,e -suggested that the vitrified type of brick such as is being laid pn the streets of Wilming ton ;t present, would make one of the most satisfactory materials that could be found. He pointed out- that while the cost of this brick is slightly in ad vance of the ordinary brick, they are larger in size and the less number that would be required would balance the higher cost- ' Mr. Hussey . stated that these brick are 'being used' in the build ing that is now heing erected in Charleston, end that they have proved satisfactory to all who have seen them. They are in use in several other Y. M.j C. A. buildings in the country. He pointed but that their slightly rough; finish gave the building a striking and substantial appearance, and he also called attention to the'fuct that they hold their rich qolor practically for ever. Several members expressed themselves as pleased with the sug gestion, and it is not improbable that it will be adopted. Another meeting of the directors and trustees, will be held as soon as the altered plans are received, which, it is expected, will be within 10 days or two weeks., You're Strong and Well That's Pleasa nt.

It "was the idea expressed that each State Association should deal with lo cal matters, and that the federation, or central organization, should handle inter-State, international and other matters effecting the trade as a whole, and be a medium through which mem bers in the different States could re port or obtain valuable and reliable information concerning the general welfare of the business.

This charge against : them will be investi gated later. The case against Miller came up. but was not completed on account of the fact that A. G. Ricaud, Esq., coun sel for the defense, had to leave be fore the trial could be completed. The negroes, it sems, made the affidavit upon which Miller was arrested some time ago, and later came to Justice Harriss and wished it withdrawn. He would not consent to this, and when the case came up yesterday morning the negroes were summoned as wit nesses. As Substitute Recorder Har riss had heard their testimony at the preliminary hearing he was aware CRASHED INTO WAGON ganization.

SEMINOLE LEAVES FOR CRUISE Cutter Is Searching For Derelict Tugs Clear With Dredge On receipt of orders from the Reve nue Cutter Service at Washington the Seminole proceeded to sea yesterd'ajr morning at 11 o'clock to search for a derelict which has been reported be tween this port and Charleston. Some spars are projecting above the water and the wreck is probably that of some schooner which has been lost at some previous time. After destroying this obstruction to navigation the cutter will probably return to her station here. The tug Walter A. Luckenback, which towed barges Gen.

Wilmington-bound Freight Collides With Vehicle In Fayettevilfe Yesterday afternoon's Fayettoville Observer says: "Monday afternoon there was a rail road accident at the intersection of Maxwell and Mumford streets, in which a man and two mules missed death or serious injury by a close shave. A Wilmington freight train was running up Mumford street while a negro was driving two mules attached to a wagon belonging to F. J. Mc Guire, paving contractor. The driver had just put out a load of brick and started back to the A. C. L. depot. At the intersection of Maxwell and Mumford streets the view of the A- C. L. main track running east is cut off by Culbreth & Co.'s store houses, and the driver did not see the approaching train until he had drivenr on to the track. He pulled his mules sharply around and got them out of the way, after which he saved himself by jump ing; but the wagon was struck 'and practically demolished. "That point is a dangerous one, and great precautions should be taken there by running slowly and constant ly ringing the engine bell."
