Tlie bevy of English lassies, who rent uvtril pleasant months In Charlotte last fall, are now en route Iome. The party. With United States Marshal MllllKan In charge, left Greensboro last Tuesday morning hound for the port of Baltimore. The (following from The Baltimore Bun( of the Uth Inst, will be of Interest The article in question is headed "Waiting lor 70 girls" end frequent reference is made to their beauty. Thoie who made the acquaintance of the Jolly strangers while they sojourned In. the Queen City will read the story with Interest. It follows: ' ' Those In the Immigration Bureau in this city will put on their best clothes and give their hair an extra brush this morning preparatory to re ceiving a bevy of 79 young ladles, every one said to be pretty, who are expected to arrive from Greensboro, N. C , "The young ladles In question are a band of housemaids and nursemaids who for three months have been doomed to remain . at Greensboro awaiting the 'opinion of the courts' as to Whether they had better sUy In this country or go back to dear old 'Lunnon,' whence they came. ,"A dispatch from Greensboro last night says that these girls were Im ported from England last fall to toil in the cotton mills that hum around Charlotte and other North Carolina points. .'The Federal Court decided that the mill men had vlolatetd the alien contract labor laws by bringing such a fair bevy of English damsels to this country, and the damsels were kept at Oreensboro while the court was busy with the case. "According to the dispatch, each young lady was given a voucher for the tidy sum of S0 as witness fees when she got aboard the train for Baltimore. The dispatch states that for 'prudential reasons' only 110 In real money was paid each girl before he said au revolr to the sands of the Tar Heel State. It Is Intimated that the court opined that with $60 apiece the girls would be the subject of a general attack of matrimonially In clined gentlemen who enjoy life dis cussing politics along the route of the Southern Railway. 'The girls got away from Oreens fcoro safely. At first the authorities thought It best to put the young wo men In charge of a battalion of old maid matrons from a female seminary near Greensboro, but when they learn ed that the girls were actually pretty and could sing the matrons gsve up the job. "United States Marshal Mllllkan. who has braved many a North Caro lina moonshiner in his den, was then picked for the courageous task. Mr. . Mllllkan did not quaver, but to the as tonishment of the citizens of Greens boro, who assembled to a man to see the parting, he meekly bowed assent. "With everybody In Oreensboro waving farewell from the housetops and upper window the train with Its 70 English beauties pulled out The girls must hav thought they were coming back again for Just Wore the engine tooted Its farewell they sang God Be With You Till We Meet Again.' They warbled so beautifully that the suspicion that any of them were chorus girls was Immediately dispelled. When the train went around the last curve at the blacksmith shop the girls were leaning far out the windows sobbing and waving hand kerchiefs end aprons. Many flung pul sating kisses at the throng, or rather, at particular members of the throng, and many a heart was left tad In Greensboro. "It Is said that when this tralnload f beauties swings Into Union Station at an early hour this morning all those connected with the Immigration Bureau will b- on rmnd with a greet ing. Hot coffer, chocolate and Mary land biscuits will be a reality. "Just how Ions: the bevy will remain in thin city In not known The Govern ment is paying the bllln, and th) young ladle are having the tlnn- of their lives KcrMtir IN YKi:3 CASE, Defend, Wins PSrstt Wood Cne Won fculUx! on Testimony of, Plaintiff Tliat He Had. It-cad Policy No Testimony Introducted by Defense -Omko Appealed to Suprono Court BlackwcUlcr Case t'p. . " The sum and substance of the work accomplished by the civil . term of Mecklenburg Superior. Court yesterday may be summed up In the Consulting of the case of J. M. Syke and wife versue the Life Insurance Company of Virginia and the granting of divorce to Major White from his wlfe Lottie White. The case of Calvin I Black welder against the ' Life Insurance Company of Virginia was on trial at the adjournment of court yesterday evening. ' " I .Judge Ward reconvened court yes terday morning at :t0 in an endeav or to get the docket In shape. The case against the life Insurance com pany was first taken up and consum ed the entire morning In He trial. The suit was warmly contested aa there are a number of other suits against the same company of more or less similar nature. The allegation in the case referred to was that the agent of the Insurance company, when he wrote the policy, assured the one In sured that at the expiration of 10 years he could draw out all the money paid In, with interest at 4 per cent This the company denied, so far as It was concerned. The plaintiff In his testimony admitted that he had read the policy and continued to pay prem iums on it after doing so. It was on this point that the Judge threw the case out of court. The defense intro duced no testimony. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court of North Carolina. Messrs. Stewart & McRae and Mr. Crawford Bennett represent ed the plaintiff. The defendant com pany was represented by Messrs. Mor rison Whitlock and Col. W. B. Rod man. In tha afternoon after the termina tion of the first suit against the In surance company the second waa call ed. In this case the plaintiff Is unable to read or write. The case nonsuited was the fourth which has been tried against the company. Of these two have been won by the plalntlfU and two by the defense. If yesterday's non suit be counted a temporary victory. THIS V.UkVU;;.III 1I..VU The Chimneys In Ihick VencercJ Houses. Mr. Jim Brown, a well-nown con tractor, ,1s 'completing the Wadsworth flats, at the corner of Sixth and Church streets. Yesterday, when an Observer man dropped in to see what sort of inside the new building had. Mr. Brown said: "Come here and let me tell you the difference between a chimney in a veneered house and, one In a regular brick structure." The newspaper man walked up to the fire place and looaed on while Mr. Brown explained. '-fi .' :i. "' "Brick' veneering Is used Instead of weatherboardlng. Chimneys of a , ve neered house are Just like' the ones In frame houses. They are II Inches thick in the back. This makes them safe. Some time ago two hands built a fire in one of our fire places here before we had put the back In. The timber caught and the impression went abroad that all the back we had was a 4-inch affair. The chimneys are two feet thick from fipont to back." The Wadsworth flats are pretty houses. Mr. and Hrs. A. B. Reese will occupy one of them and Mr. and Mrs. H. 8. Bryan the other. lU'UliC- - 1 .V.!u-uy 7. ' . 'V wprf rio-.vned to the TO)f l'-t. nltrht ami turned arinlicanls away," re marked Mr. J. T.
