An act passed by Congress requires
roads engaged in interstate traffic to
bequipped with automatic couplers,
and other lile saving, devices. 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. '
As we anticipated the stock re

TAKE ACTION IN ThE MATTER OF
THE U. S. CRUISER RALEIGH.
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.

nal Court for New Hanover completed
the work before it and ad j mrned yester
day sine die. Judge Meares -announced
that another special term of the Court
would be held the third Monday in Sep
tember next.
During yesterday's session the Court
disposed of the following cases, viz:
Robert Curtis, selling liquor on Sun

Custs. In4hree ether similar cases j tdg
ments against the defendant was sus-
pended.
. Julia Potter, nuisance. Judgment sus
pended on payment of costs.
The grand jury submitted report as
follows
To the Hon. O. P. Meares :
Dear Sir We, the grand jury of this
term, have examined into and passid
upon twenty-six bill. Ofthesi twenty-
four true bills have been found and two
not true; and have made eight present
ments We have visited the jul and
fiod it in good order and well kept and
no complaints from prisoners: and we
cheerfully commend Mr. King for the
manner in which we nod it. 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.

HANGED FOR RAPE."

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.
