The regular guests of "the Selwyn Hotel will not soon recover from the shock that a dear, sweet, dainty little woman, clad In most elegant, nut modest attire gave by announcing to a chance acquaintance mat sne bouaht mules for the government and sold whiskey for a living, At first the statement was discredited, but the fair one produced her order dook ana showed the contracts that she had made. The father of the dainty sales, lady was killed on the Merrimac dur. lng the civil war. He was a Cali fornia planter. His daughter sold the mules that he left to the govern ment. Later she bought other mules and sold them to Uncle eSam. She went into the business and the aver age long, eared balaam Is an open book to her. Whiskey is a side line. Mules, whiskey and a sprightly, cherry, modest woman that combi nation has set the Selwyn regulars to thinking. Every evening, Just oft,er supper, the mule lady Is the topic of conversation. No one discovered any thing but good about her. HIGH POINT HAS UGLY. FIRE. NEW CITY LIMITS OUTLINED. Manager O. V. Hauler Signs Walter Damrosch's Orchestra for a Con cert at the Academy, April 27th.

Hubbell Sketches the New Line Abont the City Slabs to Mark tho Corners Clreuinferenec of the New City 13.34 Miles. City Engineer C. A. Spratt, assist ed by Mr. C. G. Hubbel and a force of competent helpers, resently finish ed surveying the new city limits, as provided by the new charter. In view of the fact that there has been some misapprehension as to the extent of the city and the precise location of the new limits The Observer request ed Mr. Hubbell to block out the survey as briefly as possible. Mr. Ilubbel'8 report follows: "The first corner of the new city is established about half way between the new Highland Park and the Mecklenburg Mills, On the main line of the Southern railway 2 1-2 miles from Independence Square. From this starting point, the line runs northwest, crossing the Salisbury big road, taking In Frank Johnson's house, across the Derlta road, to the A. T. & O. road near the 2 mile post. Leaving this post, the line crosses the Statesville road and passes on to a point west of the new water works pond where a second corner Is estab lished. "From this corner, the line runs southwest, passing east of Mr. Crelgh ton's house, west of the pumping sta tion, across tho Kcattle's ford road, the Carolina Central railroad, the old plank road, and on through a section to a point out In Stewart's pond where corner No. 3 Is .fixed. "The line continues In a south westerly direction from corner No. 3, crossing the Rosielle's ferry road east of the bridge and mill, the 4C's car line and on through the woods to tho Tuckaseege ford road about 400 yards west of Mr. Jim Harris' house. Af ter crossing the road, the line con tinues about one quarter of a mile to a point In an old field where another corner Is established. Here the Una takes a southeasterly course, running east of Recorder Shannonhouse's farm, across the Dowd road and the Southern Railway tracks, cast of tho! pumping station of the Southern Cot ton Oil Componys plant across Ir win's creek at the bridge and on to point in a neid three Quarters of mile below. Here another corner Is established. "From this corner, the Hne takes an easterly course, crossing the C. C. A A. tracks, passing through Nelll Baker's house and on across the Camden road. Continuing the line passes about BOO ret north of Ash craft's house, 2S0 feet north of Klrk patrlck's dairy, by J. T. Order's home and on across the Park road 12 feet north of the 4Cs corner stone to a point In the woods south of Mr. T. W. Long's house. At this point In the woods another comer Is fixed. "The line now turns In a north easterly direction. After crossing the bait road. Sugar creek and the Myers Flames Destroy Ten Buildings in a Negro Settlement Burned District Covers Three Acres Firemen Do Fine Work The Losses and Insur ance. Special to The Observer. High Point, March 24. Last night about 10 o'clock fire broke out among a colored settlement in the eastern part of the city and before it spent Its fury destroyed 10 buildings, including two halls and a church. The burned district covers about three acres and for a time It looked like the whole section of wooden buildings would be destroyed extending up East Washing ton street, a distance of three blocks. The fire companies were hemmed in, as It were, with fire all around and bo hot were the flames that no man could live long where the fire boys stood for a while trying to check the onward approach of the Are. Those at the nozzles were relieved every now and then and despite their efforts had to fall back o naccount of the intense hea The fire originated in a negro resi dence along the railroad and was caused by a lamp exploding. The walls of this house had been heavily papered as Is the custom among the poorer class of negroes to use old newspapers In decorating their walls, and It burned as rapidly as a tank of kerosene oil. Four other houses were also quickly consumed adjoining this one, when the fire spread to Lee Flake's hall on the front. This was an amusement hall for colored people where entertainments were held, a skating rink, grocery store and restau rant also. The next to burn was the old wooden structure of the colored Odd Fellows, in which also was a gro cery store. Across the street the flames spread to the colored M. E.' church, a brick and wooden structure, another house on this side also burned. On the other side of the street the residence of Henry Davis was on fire and with the burning of this house the firemen had tho fire under control. For nearly two hours the Are had Its J way aespue me nara worn oi me nre men, as most of the buildings were old and of wood and made such a heat that no one could get between the burning houses to stop the course of the fire. Furniture and all kinds of house hold goods were scattered to the four corners and the scene looked like a cyclone had passed over that part of the city. The' losses as can be ascertained at this time are as follows: Lee Flake's hall, Insured for $2,100, valued at 24,000, and owned by Mr. J. W. Harris. Colored Odd Fellows' hall, valued at 21,500 and Insured for $250. M. ,E. church (colored) Insured for $400 and valued at $5,000. Henry Davis' residence valued at $1,100 and Insured tor $400. Stock of groceries and furniture and fixtures of Lee Flakes, $1,200, no In surance. Grocery store In Odd Fellows' hall $500, no Insurance. Two small houses belonging to Mr. J. W. Harris, partly Insured. Five other houses no Insurance with the exception of one. The heaviest losers are the M. B. church, Henry Davis, Lee Flakes and J. W. Harris. Big Season Expected at Wrightsvllle. A visitor in the city yesterday from Wilmington stated that the owners of the several hotels on Wrightsvllle Beach had already commenced mak ing preparations for the crowds wlilch they are expecting when the season opens. Mr. W. J. Moore is planning to house even larger crowds than he had last season at the Tarry more. The owners of the Seashore Hotel are en gaged In looking over the rooms with a view to Increasing their, facilities. Farther down the beach, Messrs. Nathan & Schloss are erecting an an nex to the Ocean View Hotel which, when finished, will be sufficient to ac comodate a number of guests. In spite of the fart that great numbers will go to JameKtown this summer, the ho tels on the beach are expecting as many as they can look after. To Knlurge Clothing Plant The Piedmont Clothing Company has leased quarters In one of the new buildings on Third, street, between Tryon and College, and will erect there about 70 machines and make pants. Mr. Joe Greenlcaf, who came j here from Evansville, Ind., nine years ! ago and has been with the Southern Pants Company since, will have charge of the new plant A new out fit of machinery has been purchased and Mr. Greenleaf will take hold the 1st of April.
