The" wife and nursing child of this man occupied, the same rootn. and even slept in the same bed with the patient. The wife refused to be vaccinated; hut permitted, her baby to be vaccinated- She . contracted smallpox, but her nursing baby, , who had been vaccinated, did not contract the loathsome disease, ,. although the mother nursed, it while f she had the disease. Is any more striking instance of the preventative power of vaccina tion necessary? "Another interesting instance re ported by Dr. Nesbitt. is that of a ne .qi o boarding house in which seventeen negroes were exposed to smallpox. Thev were all vaccinated. Sixteen out of the seventeen "took. The seven teenth one did not take but promptly contracted smallpox before he sought re-vaccination. . - s . ' .

Prior to her marriage in 1854 to the. late William Iredell Gore, in Little River, S, C, Mrs. Gore was Rachel Ann Litchfield. During the War Be tween the States her husband and both brothers were - - officers, in the Confederate army and one -brother vas killed.

Stickle, United States engineer, to the War Department to replace the present 5S foot.draw. A public hearing was held by Major Stickle on the matter yes terday morning in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, and it was the unanimous opinion of those pres ent that a' wider draw is needed at this point. A minimum width Of 85 feet is con sidered necessary in order to take care of present commerce up the river and it is deemed advisable to make it now at least 100 feet in order to take care of future needs. " In order to make it available for ships passing through it would be necessary to do some dredging but this will not pre- spnt ' anV serious difficulty- Those present yesterday expressed themselves as favoring a art araw, dui it is probable that a swing draw, sim ilar to the one now in operation will be installed. The pivot of this will be moved about 60 feet to the east of the present one- Adequate fenders will be constructed so as to prevent the possibility of passing vessels knocking the bridge out of place. Several months ago a passing ves- coi-imnoked a sDan of the bridge out nr niar.p oansine serious delay not only to railroad traffic but also to river navigation. A temporary struc ture is now in use- It will be recom orvrieri in the reDort to the War De- nnf ttint the new draw be com- pleted within 18 -months after the or dpr is received- However, it is ex- f?tfr2.-t.hA'." fenders will be m stalled-, for - the temporary structure within a short time- .

The newspaper offices are besieged with telephone calls and inquiries , for . recent developments at all hours--of the da andf night, and eacli ne-jdevelopnit " is closely fol lowed. v ; ; , , - 4 - The possibility that the militia may be called on for, service, has served to add to the local interest in the sit uation; and the members of the Wil mington Light Infantry are busy spec ulating on the possibilities of their getting into action Most of the boys are ready and anxious to go, provided they are to see real action, but a fear exists that in the event the militia Is called out, they will, on account of forming a part of the Coast Artillery Corps, be sidetracked at some border fort, or elsewhere, and will miss the real campaigning. 7 Many of the young men of the city are awaiting the announcement that volunteers will be called for, and if this call is made Wilmington will un doubtedly furnish her full quota of men. Local officers of. the State militia and of the W. L. I., are SDeculatine on how the mobilization - of the Na tional Guard will take place in the event the militia is called out. The North Carolina National Guard is com posed of three regiments of infantry, with 12 companies to each regiment: two troops of cavalry; one battalion companies; one field hospital com oi coast artillery, composed of six pany and five divisions of naval re serves. ' T In the event that the National Guard is mobilized by States, the probability is that the North Carolina Infantry would mobilize at Morehead City; the Coast Artillery at Fort Caswell and the Naval Reserves probably at New- bern or some other coast city. The cavalry would mobilize with the in fantry. If, however, the mobilization is by divisions, the militias of North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, composing the Ninths Division, the mobilization would be at some cen tral point to the whole territory, prob ably in South Carolina. The North Carolina cities with in fantry" companies, by regiments, are as follows: First Regiment: Hickory. Gaston la, Winston, Charlotte, Statesville, Shel by, waynesviiie. Mount Airy, Asne vijle, Concord and High Point. . second Kesiment: xarooro, Win ston: Rockv Mount. Goldsboro (two comnanies). Fayetteville. Washing ton, Clinton, Etienton, Wilson.

FIRST DAY GREAT SUGEESS Street Department Hauled 184 Loads of Trash Yesterday Slight De lay Caused by Rain. With -sunshine for the greater part of the day and with the efficient help of the people living on the numbered strpptR south of Nixon. Sunt. J. C. Mc Allister, and his loyal corps of city rleanftrs carried away 184 loads of trash and rubbish yesterday. Today they will work on the streets running east of Front street, and if the citl zens living in that direction do as well as those yesterday the street force will surpass their first day's rec ord. Bright and early yesterday morning the men were, up, but it looked like their plans for cleaning up old Wil mington had gone for naught, for it Was raining to beat the band. How ever, the elements were kind' and by 8 o'clock it had cleared, up and for the remainder or me aay n was as uiea.i and as bright as one could wish for. There are 20 teams engaged in this big enterprise and all the men in charge want is to be given a chance to get at the trash. Those living oh the streets running east are requested today to put out all the rubbish they can find and it will be carted away. The more the merrier, says Mr. Mc Allister. His men are anxious for the fray; they want to show the people of the city that they have the true spir it of .patriotic citizens. ' They will work the same territory that they did yesterday - again on Thursday, and those whom they miss ed yesterday can m the meantime get their trash out. No matter how much it is or how bad it may look on the streets, Mr. McAllister .says, just get it out on 'the streets and he will do the rest. -In order that everybody may be thoroughly, convinced that he is .in earnest, Mr. McAllister, through the kindness of the Tidewater Power Company' has,; hade ' large placards placed on - all the trolley cars- of this line,. carrying the good news that Wil mington is 5 to be cleaned up. He doesn't want anybody in Wilmington to forget that this is clean-up week. . The school children of tt'a city are working hard on the matter arid they are going to be an important factor in cleaning up Wilmington more thor oughly than it has ever been before They have .been taught thoroughly the good results of such a policy and are going into the campaign with their hearts in, the work. : -. by the J. Henry Miller Company on the construction of the new Murchi- son National Bank building' at Front and Chesnut streets, went on a strike and walked out yesterday at noon, fol lowing a refusal on the part of the company -to grant their demands for an increase in their wage scale of a few cents an hour. . The men did not go back to work yesterday, but a con- rerence was neia last night, at which time an agreement was practically reached, and the probability is that they will resume work this1' morning. Most ot tne ,DricK masons employed on the Murchispn building are from Washington, D.'C and are members of the Brick Masons' Union of that city. i,: ' '-; There is. no local brick masons la bor organization, and the men put in a request that their wagesr be fixed on the same scale as fixed by their union in Washington, DU'C. They have been . working nine hdurs a day at a scale of! $6, and they; did not ask for a reduction in the number of hours but desired -an increased - wage scale. rne omciass . in - cnarge I of i the con struction work here refused to meet their demands,5 and after a' short con ference the men decided to walk out. This they did at 12 o'clock j. ue uuiiipttiijr uuiuiais nere wireu the head offices in Baltimore of the strike, and asked for instructions: and the Brick Masons Union at Wash ington was also telegraphed for infor mation relative to the wage score there. r Following the receipt of. advices last evening, a conference between the construction officers and the ma sons was held, at which time an agree ment was practically reached. No details were given, out, but it was stated that in all probability the men will go back i to work this, -morning. rrn ; : nr CI VI L SERVICE POStTIONS. . 3'' " iftii.; .
