It is said that this will cost the railways about $50,000,000, which is probably an over estimate, but while it is a pretty big sum it is divided among a good many roads and considering the good to come trom tt in preventing death and injury to persons it would be money well spent.

Evidence t) Show That tb.9 Vessel Can Safelj Pass the Bar and Enter Bouth X -rt Iiattsrs Addressed to Gov. Carr and the Bsote.ary of the Navy at Wash ington. Afp cial n:eeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held yesterday afternoon. President Chadbourn stated that the meeting was called to take action in re gard to getting the cruiser Raleigh to come to Southport to receive the testi monial purchased for it by popular sub scription in the State. He said that the" Secretary of the Navy said that the pre sentation must take place at Norfolk, Va., as the water on our bar was insuffi cient to admit the Raleigh's passage over it. ' Mr. Gto. L. Morton of the Naval Battalion, said that he had written a let ter to the Ais'.stant Secretary cf the Navy, Hon. Wm. McAdoo, ashing that the cruiser Raleigh be ssnt here; that the Naval Battalion had been trying for two years to get the Raleigh here, and that when he heard that the Raleigh will be kept away on account cf there not be ing enough wa'.er on the bar to admit of her passage, thit he bad written th s let ter to correct the statement, and he had a'so enclosed one from Col. D. P. Heap in which Col. Heap stated that at mean low water it was 18 feet deep; one from Mr. S. F. Craig, an experienced pilot, in which Mr. (Jrag stated that from meas urements taken Jane 16th, the water was 22 feet deep; and one from Messrs. Alexander Sprunt & Son, which stated that they had cleared a number of ocean steamers, which had passed over the bar, homeward bound, drawing from 18)4 to 10 feet. Mr. Morton further stated thai the Raleigh drew 19) feet, and when she was ballasted 20 feet, 4 inches; that the Raeigh had been in Charleston harbor, atd that he under- Stood that cur harbor is deeper. He thought tbe Government had formed their opinion from the chart made last August, which gave mean low water 16 feet and a rise and tall cf 4 feet, 6 inches. Mr. I. W. Craig, pilot, said that the 'chart cf the Government was correct when it was made, tut since then the channel had been'dreded acd that now at the very lowest tide it was only, 17)4" feet, but at average low tide 18 feet. Oa motion, Messrs. C. E. Borden, T. F. Bagley and J. W. Craig were ap pointed a committee to write the Gov ernor ollfie State at Raleigh and the Secretary of the Navy at Washington, D. C in regard to the matter. Mr. T. F. Bagley suggested some ad ditions to the map which the Chamber had made of Wilmington and its vicin ity. Referred to the committee. President Chadbourn said that he, with the assistance of the two vice-presidents, gathered information to be used in making up pamphlets of Wilmington and its vicinity. On Mr. E. S. Tennent's motion, the president was instructed to appoint a committee of five, which shall include the president and two vice presidents, to get the pamphlets printed and distribu ted. The meeting then adjourned. The following are copies of letters pre pared by the committee for transmission to the Governor and the Assistant Sec retary of the Navy, viz: Wiiiington, N. C, June 19. To the Honorable Secretary of the Navy, Washington, D, C: Dear Sir The undersigned commit tee, appointed by the Chamber of Com merce of the citv of Wilmington at a special tmeeting held this day, respect fully submit: That a letter forwarded by your De partment to the Governor of this State and afterwards published by the press, containing the statement that it would be impossible to send the cruiser Raleigh to Southport on account ol an insuffi ciency of water, is entirely erroneous and has worked great harm to the com mercial inteiests of this port. We respectfully submit that the con trary evidence can be obtained lrom tbe eneineer in charge ot our river and bar bor improvements and from the Cape Fear Pilots Association, we nave lor warded, through tbe Governor, docu mentary . evidence substantiating the above statements," and respectfully re quest that due consideration be given to the same when f ubmitted, and urge that yju make some effort to correct this In- mstice. The citizens ot tne state, tnrougn a popular subscription, have donated a testimonial to the cruiser Raleigh and desire that tbe presentation should take place in North Carolina Waters. The citizens of North Carolina would be just ly chagrined and humiliated should this presentation take place in waters out side of the State, to siy nothing ol tbe iniary that would be done Jta the chief commercial seaport of the State of North Carolina. It is a well known fact that the cruiser Raleigh has recently been In the port of Charleston, a harbor well known to have less depth of water on the bar than our own, and to be more dangerous to navigation from the fact that the shoal water on the bar is fuliy a mile in length, while the shallowest part of our own is not more than two hun dred yards. We respectfully call your attention to tbe Government chart issued August 28 1895, in which the least depth of water at low tide is sixteen and one-half feet, and beg to state that since its publica tion this channel has been dredged out one and one-halt feet, and that sound ings taken, on June 16th, recent date, by the Pilots' Asssociation, now show eigh teen feet, making it safe for vessels drawing twenty-two and one-half feet to cross tbe bar. We respectfully urge the re-considera tion of your decision and request that you grant the application made by the citizens' committee through the Gov ernor. Very respectfully, Chas. E. Borden, J. W. Craig, Thos. F. Bagley, Committee. Wilmington, N. C. June 19. To His Excellency, Elias Carr, Governor North Carolina, Raleigh, N. C : Dear Sir la order to correct-the injury done our port and harbor by the publication tnrougn tne press ot tbe er roneous statement that there is not water enough on our bar tor the cruiser Raleieh to -cross and enter the harbor at Southport, the Chamber of Commerce of this city met in special session to-day with a committee from the Cape Fear fiiots Association. We had in evi dence the fact that the mean depth of water on our bar at low water is eighteen feet, with a rise of tide of from four and one-half to five feet, thus making it en tirely safe for a vessel drawing twenty two and one-half feet to cross our bar. -This was substantiated b? a letter from Col. D P. Heap. Corns of Engineers. U. S A., in charge of river and harbor im provements. Learnine that L'eut. Commander Morion was taking this matter up with the Navy Department through you, a request wts made to him to submit his correspondence to the Chamber of Com merce before forwarding the same. This has been done and the undersigned committee have been appointed to com municate with you at once, urging that you make to the Navy Department as strong an endorsement of the statements ,submitted to you as the urgency of the case and tbe injustice done demands. This we respectfully urge, and would be pleased to have you make this letter part of your endorsement. We are very truly, Chas. E. Burden, J. W. Craig. Thos. F.

We have also visited the County Home and Work H ouse, and find tbe prisoners well cared lor and no complaint from them. Some of the inmates of the . County Home complain that they do not get enough to eat at times, and also complain that it is not well prepared. And also, that they do not get the medical attention that they cugbt to have; and we under stand that tbe physician only visits tbe home once a week; and we would rec ommend that he visit it at least three limes per week. We Had tbe premises well kept and clean. We would ask vour honor to call the attention ol the Board of Aldermen ol the ciry of Wilmington to the many dens of infamy that exist in this city, especially in tbe neighborhood of Fourth and Castie streets. There are many and bitter complaints from the citizens in this neighborhood, for want of proper police protection. We recom mended in our last report that some at tention be paid to this section; and we now again call the city s attention to it, as tbe citizens demand that they h3ve proper protection. We would again call the attention of tbe city also to various alleys and neighborhoods in the city that are inhabited by the worst class of people imaginable and well known to the police. We would also recommend to the County Commissioners that some port able beeches or seats be provided in the passage of the grand jury room for the use by witnesses who are compelled to wait on the Court, which could after ward be removed to the cellar when Court is not in session. Very respectfully, Jno. T. Keen, Foreman. x HANGED FOR RAPE." Exoution of Si. FaMy alias F.ank Mo- Ear ii the Jail Eooloaura at Lumbertor, N. C. Special Star Telegram. Lumberton. N. C, June 19. Ed. Fairly alias Frank McRae, colored, aged 20 years, was handed here to-day for rape cjmmittcd upon Susan McNair, a colored girl about 17 years of age, on the 22ad of last April. He was taken to the gallows at 12 20 o'c'ock. At 12 37 the trap fell and in ten minutes he was pronounced dead. He dropped six feet and his neck was broken. Fairly was tried and convicted at the May term of the Superior Court under the name of Frank McRae. But a few days before his execution he made a con- fesiloa of his crime to a colored minis ter who visited him regularly during his imprisonment and stated that his name was Ed. Fairly, and that he was raised near Laurinburg, in Rich mond county. He made a statement on the gallows, acknowledging . his guiit and saying that he was ready to die. By order of the County Commissioners the execution took place in the jail enclo sure and only a limited number were ad mitted to witness it. Upon request of Sheriff McLeod, the Governor ordered ths Maxton Guards here as an extra precaution against violence. They ar rived yesterday and remained on duty until this afternoon, when they returned to Maxton. A large crowd was in town and general order prevailed. It is the general opinion that justice has been done, and that a most dastardly crime has been deservedly punished. . JULIAN S. CARR.
