steadily increased till they filled to over

to Christians, and by a rising vote at the

to Wilmington and hold a similar

STONEWALL JACKSON. ,
Even . His Enemies Praised Him.
Editor Star: Will you please pub
lish the following, and oblige some of
your readers:
O. O. Howard, the Federal
commander of the 11th corps at the bat
tle of Chancellorsville thus speaks of
Stonewall Jackson: ; "Stonewall Jack
son was victorious. Even his enemies
praise him; but, providentially for us, it
was the last battle that he waged against
u a m.-;en Union. For. - in bold
planning, in energy of execution, which
he had the power to diffuse, in indefati
gable activity and moral ascendency,
Jackson stood head and shoulders above,
his conlreres, and after his death General
Lee could not replace him."
NCj
THE STREET RAILWAY"."
Progress of Work at the Power House, etc.
A Star.! reporter, in his usual quest
of news, chanced by the power house of
the street railway company , where the
lights indicated that work did not stop
at dark. By a route littered with build
ers and engineer's material and a ladder
up the air shaft, the upstairs offices were
reached. In contrast with fhe unfinished
portion the office was habitable.
In response to the question as to the
progress of the work during the past
two weeks, Mr. Barnard replied that it
was excellent so good that he thought
he'd better go away again and leave it
in the hands of the others in charge. -?.
"We have been most fortunate in the
selection of our contractors," he said.
Mr. Garber 's progress on the build mg
from the day he signed the contract has
been much more surprising than appears
on -the surface. In this class of work
there are many hinderances. Th6 car
penters and masons not only have to
plan their work most exactly to prevent
interference and delays, but in this case
the problem has been complicated by
the work' of the engine builders'
and the preparations ; necessary for I
cood fou ndations for the T Jatter.
As an example of his management I re
call that the contract with him was
signed on a Wednesday, ihis complete
bill of lumber was placed that afternoon,
and the first car-load , had been cut in
South Carolina, hauled to the mill,
sawed, shipped and delivered on the site
by the following Saturday afternoon.
This is only a sample. Every want has
been anticipated and the material been
at hand when wanted. ' ;
"The eneine contract has also been
well managed,. An unfortunate delay of
two weeks caused by the breakage of a
car on which the boilers were shipped
made much trouble, but in spite of that
steam could be turned on by Wednesday
into a completed system. You can im
agine that the superintendent, Mr. Han
sen, has made good time when I tell you
that since the receipt of th4 boilers, two
weeks ago to-day,' he has set them , put
in a condenser, heater, pumps, and a
complete system of piping and has only
the small odds and ends yet to attach.
"The fact that the track and line work
are done is all that I need to say for Mr.
Wilson. His has been a task requiring
much good management. As you know,
the lack of skill pavers has made rapid
work a difficult matter. He was forced
to stop track laying every block or two
to enable them to catch up, and in the
meantime work here, there or anywhere
to keep the work progressing and to
keep up his- organized forces. He has
been well seconded by Mr. Lassell and
his various foremen, and can point with
pride to some exceptional track and line
work. ,
"The part of the plant in which I take
particular pride is the power station.
The plans of this received the closest
attention, and I would not change its
arrangement for that of any-road that I
know, and while many are larger, none
contain any better equipments, or are
better adapted to their purpose. I feel
that the building is a credit to our com
pany, and without conceit, I can say
that it is an improvement to the streets
on which it fronts." -

Meeting In the Tint Baptiat Church.
There will be services in the First
Baptist Church every night this week,
and a prayer meeting every morning at

On Thursday, the 14th inst., the
Rev. Geo. H. Simmons, of Ky will be

companied by the famous singers, Prof.
T. B. Towner and wife. Dr. T. T.
Eaton, of Louisville, Ky., writes to Dr.
Pritchard of tpese Christian woricers
thus: 1 "The Re. Geo. H. Simmons has
all of the excelh :ncies and none of the
faults of evangel ists. He is every- way
admirable, piou, well-up in the Scrip
tures, able, earnest, and level-headed.
You are fortunate in getting him.
"Professor and Mrs. Towner are the
sweetest and . most - powerful gospel
singers inown to me. I was never nearer
heaven in the1 flesh than when I heard
them sing 'Old Time Religion. Be sure
to have them sing m Wilmington." , r
They have labored much with Mr.
Moody, and in August, 1889, Mr. Moody
said: "Towner and his wife are un
questionably the greatest singers now
living."
Dr. Pritchard and his people cordially
invite everybody to attend these meet

operation ot all Christian workers.

TO IMPROVE OUR ROADS.
The Plan Adopted in France Is not the
Experiment Worth Trying Here P
1 The value of good roads to a country
has been a matter about which there
never has existed a difference of opin-.
,ion, and yet we know of, but one county
in North Carolina, and that is Mecklen
burg, that has been wide-awake enough
to her interest to adopt a good system
of roads, and good laws to perpetuate,
them. . As no county in the State is
lacking in good roads more than New
Hanover, it is well for our; county au
thorities to adopt some system that will
give us better roads, and thus cause our
valuable trucking lands in the vicinity
ot, Wilmington to come into immediate
use and value. In the Century Magazine
for April is an article on "Our County
Roads" which every intelligent citizen
should read, and from it we subjoin the
following extract from the Commercial
Agent of the United States in France to
our Department of State', which every
citizen who owns a country road cart or
wagon should heed: ;
"The road system of France has been
of iar greater value:, to the country as a
means of raising the value of lands, and
.of putting the smalt peasant proprietors
in easv communication with their mar
kets; than have the railways. It is the
opinion of well informed .Frenchmen
who have made a practical study, of
economic problems, that the , superb
roads of France have been one of the
most steady and potent contributions to
the material development and marvel
lous financial elasticity of the country.
The far-reaching and splendidly main
tained road system has distinctly favored
the success of the small landed proprie
tors, and in their prosperity, and the en
suing distribution of wealth, lies the key
to the secret of the wonderful financial
vitality and solid prosperity of the
French' nation. ,
"Every freighting and market cart
here is a road-maker. Its tire is from
three to ten inches in width, usually
from four to six, and so rolls the road.
With the few ; four-wheeled vehicles
used, - the tires are rarely v less
than six inches, and; the rear axle is
about fourteen inches longer than the
fore, so that the rear or hind wheels run
in aline about an inch outside of the
line rolled by the fore wheels, thus, with
a six-inch tire, two feet of road width
is rolled by every passing wagon. The
varied guage is also observed by cabs,
hacks, and other four-wheeled vehicles,
so that they! become road-makers inr
stead of rut-makers, as in our country.
The cost of highway transportation
over the properly built roads of France
does not exceed one-third the like ex
pense in the United- States, it being
common in the rural districts of France
to haul three' tons, and in the cities
from three to five tons freight with one
horse. . . - -

What la a Volt?
- A definition of.
a volt, which, although
somewhat unscie itific, may prove sug
gestive to readers, is given in the Chica
go Evening Post, in the following terms:
"The volt gives one blow of a specific
force. As volts are added together the
force of the blow is .increased until the
endurance limit is reached. It takes
about twenty-five volts to make a! per
ceptible tingling sensation. When ififty
volts pass through the body the ting
ling sensation becomes unmistakable,
but not strong, while 100 volts feels
lively, 200 volts strong, 300 volts pow
erful, 400 volts titanic and 500 volts will
knock a man flat."
Local Storm Warning.
The northwest signals were displayed
yesterday at 5.30 p. m.. by order of the
Observer in charge of the Wilmington

the wind velocity registered at the Sig
nal station was 30 miles from the north
West. , -
- The temperature last night was de

of frost this morning.

For Virginia, fair weather till Mon
