Miss Voigt Will be Matron in Charge Al dermen Issued Permit for 14-Room Additions-Will be a Strictiy Pirst Class Instltatioo. Announcement was made some weeks aero that a movement was on oot to convert the handsome resi dence of Col. P. W. Kerchner. on Front street, into a first-class sanita rium, in charge of Miss Agnes Vofirt. A Star reporter, was told by Col. Kerchner last night that all the ar rangements are now complete, and it is very probable that the sanitarium will be ready for the reception of patients within a week. It will be remembered that at the session of the Board of Aldermen held Monday night, a building permit was granted for the erection of a twelve-room addition to the Kerchner residence. This is for the purpose of. when deemed necessary. addiDsr a wo story wing to the building, run ning back toward, the river. The house now has fourteen rooms, enough to serve the purposes of the sanitarium management for the present. Mr. Jas. F. Post, Sr., the architect, is, however, engaged in the workMjf drafting the plans for the addition. When the plan for opening the sanitarium in the Kerchner resi dence was first' made public there was much opposition on the part of the residents in that vicinity and the Board of Aldermen, in fact, 'passed a resolution prohibiting the establishment of such an institution without the consent of the owners of the property situated within a given distance of the proposed site. It now seems that the opposition on the part of.CoL Kerchner's neighbors was due to a misconception of the real plans and purposes and all opposition has since been abandoned, so that now the institution will be opened and con ducted with the full consent of every body in that locality. As heretofore announced Miss Vogt, an especially skilled and gifted licensed nurse, who has filled a number of highly responsible positions in North ern hospitals and sanitariums, will be the matron in charge of the new sani tarium. For the present she will have two assistant nurses, both of them full graduates of the very best training schools and experienced in the work. One will come from New York and the other from Baltimore. r It is the purpose of the management to admit no cases of infectious disease into the institution. It will be run in accordance with the system which pre vails in the very best sanitariums of the country. Patients will be received at stated prices and accorded all needed attention by the matron and corps of nurses, each patient having the privi lege of calling any physician to treat them whom they may elect. The sanitarium is an institution much needed in Wilmington, and the announcement that its establishment is assured will be hailed with delight by a host of people, PROBABLE DAMAGE TO CROPS Radishes and English Peas Seriously In jured Strawberries and Lettuce Considered Unharmed. There is much speculation as to the extent of the damaere done by the re cent cold wave, the backbone of which was broken yesterday forenoon. Some are of the opinion that a"number of early crops are seriously injured. However, the most experienced truck ers claim that the full extent of the damage, cannot be ascertained until to day, after the sun shines upon the plants for a few hours; after which, if seriously injured, pea vines and other plants will turn black and fall over. Mr. W. E. Springer visited his farm yesterday afternoon and found far less damage than he anticipated. His let tuce is uninjured. His radishes are, however, killed outright. He thinks that his English peas are uninjured. Strawberries are not hurt at all. Mr. Geo. T. Johnson also vis ited his truck farm yesterday, and told a Star reporter that he does not think he has suffered any loss of conse quence. It is mostly unprotected truck in exposed places that has sustained serious injury. The lowest temperature registered durine the prevalence of the cold wave was about 7.30 A. M. yester day, when the thermometer registered 25 degrees above zero. Later, in the forenoon, the mercury rose rapidly, reaching 50 degrees soon after noon. The highest velocity of the wind here Was thirty-seven miles an hour, which was reached at 9.35 o'clock Tuesday morning. Plummer, Jr.'s Store. : Mr. J. W: Plummer, Jr., 'fruit and ennfectionerv dealer, has ! removed from No. 132 to 204 Princess street, the stand formerly occupied by N. Paul. The storeroom has been thoroughly renovated, repaintedand j otherwise improved, so that Mr. Plammer has fitted up a very pretty store. He has improved his-facilities for making candies.

Alderman Hanby then made a mo tion that the report of the committee te adopted. It was duly seconded by Alderman Worth and was carried unanimously by a rising vote. The particulars of the suspension of Foreman Dowling by the committee and the causes, which led up to ! the same, have already, been ; published in the Star. I ! i r. Tne Board was in executive session a few minutes prior to the regular ses sion, and after adopting the report of the Fire Committee, an adjournment was taken subject to call of the Mayor.

The work of moving the ; two-story brick office building just in front of the machine shops in the Atlantic Coast Line yards, made necessary by the extensive( changes being inaugu rated to equip the. plant as the principal car-building shops of the system, has been successfully accomplished,1 the structure having been undermined, raised on beams and- rolled back al most fifty feet without making a single crack in the walls. The workmen have completed the laying of the new foun ¬ dation upon which the walls are securely settled. A Star reporter was told yesterday by a prominent official intimate with the changes being made in the shops that the work, as recently outlined in the Star, is being accom plished slowly. And it will probably be some time before the concentration of the car manufacture in :j this city will be fully accomplished, j To City Subscribers. ; Uity subscriDers are earnestly re quested to report promptly at the Stab office every failure of the carriers to deliver their papers.

None of Public Importance Commission ers Appointed to Represent the State at Paris Exposition Testimo nial to Speaker Connor. Special Star Telegram.' . Raleigh, N. C, March 8. The General Assembly of North Carolina, for 1899, adjourned to-day to meet again Tuesday, after the second . Mon day in June. A few bills were passed by both the House and Senate, but none of them was of public im portance. Most of the session was de voted to ratification of enrolled bills. A resolution was adopted giving clerks and employes five dollars extra for night work. Another resolution thanked, newspaper correspondents for their accurate and impartial re ports.

Among other things he said: "In dealing with the finances of the State we have endeavored to be conservative and economical That there is among our people an industrial awakening is sho wn by the large number of char ters for such enterprises that we have been called upon to enact into law. It is a matter well worth careful consid eration whether there should not be an improvement in the general law providing for the incorporation of pri vate companies and associations, there by saving much time which should be devoted to the consideration of public measures. The Targe number of charters for cities and towns aeit to us from different sections f the State, show a healthy interest among the people in regard to the problem of municipal government. There is not a more interesting method of studying the history and develop ment of a people than through their laws, and there will be few more in teresting chapters in our history than the public and private laws of 1899, That much has been done for the wel fare of the State the moat critical will admit; that much has been left un done we recognize and admit "As the presiding officer of this House I have had opportunity to watch with care the words and ac tions of its members. 1 have seen nothing said or done which did not proceed from an honest desire to ad vance the best interests of the State. "We commit our work to the fair and just . consideration . of the con stituency who confided to us their highest and best political interests. We must, however, keep in mind the great truths that States like individ uals are in the keeping of the God of nations, and in so far as we live in harmony with this divine will, we will in our individual as well as national interest grow in strength and pros perity. : "It affords me pleasure in this last hour of the session to say that in the discharge of the duties of presiding officer, I have had the kind and con siderate support of every member of this body. No unpleasant incident mars the 'memory of our association, There has at all times prevailed defer ence and courtesy among the mem bers. il am sure that without regard to party or political .differences, we sepa rate with naught but kindly sentiments one for the other.
