YOUNG WHITE MAN DROWNED 'AGED MAN SHOOTS HIMSELF HI6H SCHOOL HONOR ROLL
After a busy two jdays spent in Wil
mington investigating the water sup-.
ply of the city with reference to quan
tity, quality and 'cost, . Prof. E. b
Phelps, of the Hygienic Laboratory of
tne unitea states Public Health Seri
vice, returned . to Washington last
night and will within the next few
weeks make an exhaustive report ''as
to his findings on the. local water sit
uation. Yesterday Professor Phelps in com
pany with Mr. Georee Catltt itv
chemist, went up the Cape Fear river
m a uoai lor seven or eight miles and
took samples of the water. They also
went up the Northeast rivpr fnnnito
a distance and got samples of this wa
ter aiso. 1 ney spent some time at
Navassa and looked into the sur
roundings there carefully. .The possi
bility of securing water from an in
take located a short distance above
Navassa on the- Cape Fear river was
gone into thoroughly. . t
Yesterday " afternoon - "Professor
Phelps met a number of citizens at the
City Hall and discussed thoroughly the
deep-well proposition for Supplying
the city with water.' He went into thil
matter quite fully and obtained analy
ses or samples of water of practically
every deep well in this vicinity.
Later in the afternoon he met ' a
large number of the representative
citizens, of the city for a further, con
ference.. At this informal . meeting
there was a full discussion of all the
different . possible sources , of ' water
supply for the city. While in the city
Professor Phelps endeavored to see
as many as possible of the people liv
ing here in order that rheTnight get all
the information available on the sub
ject. The possibility of securing water at
a point in. the river above Navassa
was gone into fully yesterday by Pro
fessor Phelps. ; It is the opinion of a
great many that this is the best means
of getting water, for the city but one
of the main objections to -moving the
intake to. this point has been the cost.
This feature was taken up by Profes
sor Phelps and in his conference with
the city engineer and others he - was
able to get a great deal of -data that
will be of service to him in making his
report. . .
The distance from the pumping sta
tion to the point in the Cape Fear
river above Navassa where the intake
would be located is 2.4 miles. In order
to locate the intake there it would be
necessary to take the pipe line across
the Northeast river but this could be
done without any serious inconvenience,-
The estimates of the engineers
for the cost. of the construction of this
line -id : thought to be too high and in
the actual construction of such a sys
tem for- supplying the city with water
i lit- iih r 5i nnw uvnimnic 'innmnrpc rnar
the cost could .be considerably, reduc
ed: fjroaineiyBeviousiestiniates made.
'PritffefiSors'Phfclnfi wlr,1ravn, his -re
turn-to wasnmgtcn to comer wnn Dr.
-J. A: Holmes; head of the Bureau of
Mines; whorls a North Carolinian and
13 thoroughly acquainted with the geor,
logical construction of - this section.
With the analyses of - the water from
the deep wells that, have already been
sunk and with- the information that
Dr. Holmes can"': give him he will be
able to: give this proposition for- sup
plying the citywith water intelligent
consideration. While' in the ; city - he
talked with several of those interested
in digging deep wells and got -their
views. ' .'
Professor Phelps-left last night on
the 6:45. train for Washington. He
will have a- large number of the sam
ples of water which he obtained while
here sent to him for analysis in the
laboratory of hygiene while others
will be analyzed here by City Chem
ist Catlett- He has also one over
carefully the analyses of -the present
water supply of the city and will have
these for his guidance in making his
report.' -
He has made a specialty of the study
of water. He has visited all sections
of the country and is well acquainted
with the different methods of supply
ing water to the larger cities of the
country.;:- Not-only has. he had much
experience in this line "but he has also
made extensive Investigation of river
pollutions.
In the opinion of a great many who
conferred with Prof. Phelps, he will
not recommend that the intake be .re
moved to a point- up the Northeast
river, but that he will recommend the
adoption of one of two proposals
either go to the Cape Fear river just
above Navassa or obtain the supply
from a battery of deep wells. It is
thought very probable that he will ad
vise against retaining the intake
where it Is ' now located. The color
of the water in the Northeast river
is to be taken . into consideration as
well as the pollution. It is highly col
ored and even if the. intake -were re
moved as far up as Castle Haynes it
would be necessary to use a large,
amount of chemicals to take the color
out of it. So those who have discuss
ed the question with Mr. Phelps and
are thoroughly conversant with the
situation believe he will .recommend
that the'-, water be obtained from the
Cape Fear river or from deep wells,
the former preferably if , the cost is
not too great. , -

threw out ropes into the water and
made every,. possible effort to reach
him, but in the darkness were unable
to do so.
The water at the point where he

Mr. A. P. Bump in a Fit of Desponden
cy, Committed Suicide Late Yes
terday Afternoon.
v . Because of feebleness and" despon
dency, ?Mr. A.. P. Bump, an aged ; man;
who has been living in Wilmington
for several years, shot himself through
the chest with a breech loading shot
gun late yesterday : afternoon at the
home of Mr. E. F". ' Bordick,"" located
on the Federal Point road a mile and
a half east of Wilmington. When
found by Mr. Bordick he . had been
dead for some time. He left a note
explaining why he had. committed the
rash deed.
Mr. Bump, who was nearly 80 years
old,' came to Wilmington about two
years ago and worked with Mr. W. W.
King, the ;undertaker, until the latter
retired from, business several months
ago. Since that time he has been
living with' Mr. Bordick at his home
east of the city. Mr. Bordick has no
family and there was no one. who liv
ed In the house with them; '
When Mr. Bordick returned home
yesterday afternoon about 5:30
o'clock he missed Mr. Bump. . He
found in the room -. where he had
been accustomed to- stay several let
ters on top of which was a ,note in
his handwriting ; explaining that he
could be found on the wood pile in the
rear of the house and also containing
directions as to his burial ana the
disposition of his personal effects.
When Mr. Bordick went to the wood
pile' he found him lying across the
wood with a. shotgun pressed against
his chest and the contents of one
shell discharged into the body. The
gun was held with his right hand and
there was" his walking . stick with
which he had . evidently pulled the
trigger.
i Mr. Bordick immediately sent a ne
gro to the city to notify Coroner John
J. Fowler. As soon as Mr. Fowler re
ceived the news he in company with
Deputy Sheriff Kelly drove out tothe
house and examined the body. After
looking into the matter thoroughly
and being convinced that it was a
case of suicide they came back to the
city about 10 o'clock. In accordance
with the directions : of Mr. Bump the
body was turned over to Mr. King for
burial.
Shortly after coming to Wilming
ton Mr. Bump was married, but he
had not. been living with his wife for
some time: He had been a cripple all
his life and was unable to walk with:
out the assistance of crutch and cane.
His ,wife is living in the city.
The note which Mr. Bordick found
lying on top of the letters written by
the dead man was as follows :
"Mr. E. F. Bordick:
"Please find my body by the wood
pile. I cannot continue this way any
longer. . Thanks for all your kindness.
One more favor deliver my body to
Mr. W. W. King to entomb as he may
direct. Let Mary have my things
when she wants them. Please send
these letters to Granville - Sentinel,
Mrs. Edith Bordwick, Mrs. William
Weeks and to Mary Bump, 905 North
Fifth street. I want to relieve you of
my. burden which has been thrown on
you as it were and you have shown
me great kindness more than a broth
er and may the Lord bless you and
reward you. I feel more sleepy all
the time and am being paralyzed rap
idly so I shall be helpless soon. Pos:
tage stamps in vest pocket."
