Work of Relaying -Track With Heavier Rails Berun Yesterday Wiirareatly Improve Service New tars. General Manager A. B. Skelding,of the Wilmington Street Railway sys tem, has inaugurated with right good will the extensive improvements out lined in the Stab some weeks ago.

' -J'. j : It was at first intended that this work, should be done at night, after the cars had gone into the station, but Mr. Skelding decided that it could be done best during the day, and he has arranged so that there will be no in terference with the regular schedules of the cars, a special transfer car bej ing operated so as to make prompt connections at the-point . where the work of substituting new rails is in progress. j The new track is making a vast dif ference in the street car service' especially in the matter of the com fort of the passengers. The cars move over the . new track with much less jolting and they will be able to make much better time, with the danger of jumping the track reduced to a,mini mum. The work of relaying the track wil be pushed as rapidly as possible to com pletion and will pobably be completed early in April if not sooner.

Several Interesting Cases Were Disposed of by Mayor Waddell. W. L. Frink. a tramn claiming to be deaf and dumb, was the most in teresting offender before Mayor Wad dell yesterday. The charge was drunk and down, and the prisoner, having expressed the desire to "go further," the Mayor detailed Policeman Woebse to escort him out of the city limits, which he did after the adjournment of court James Scott, a son of Beverly Scott, colored, was up for throwing stones in the streets. Judgment was sus pended on payment of costs, in de fault of which he was sent below. Chas. Anderson, arrested for com plicity in the robbery of Mr. J. H. Thomas' store, and upon whose person a pistol was subsequently found, was released as to the first charge,, and a promise to leave town at once was ac cepted by the Mayor as a sufficient penalty for the second charge, it hav ing appeared from the evidence that the weapon had just been purchased and was being carried home.

Upon the appearance of a policeman on the scene, one of the negroes, Robert Green, took to his heels leaving his horse and dray, which was taken into custody by Policeman- Woebse and driven to the City Hall. THE NAVAL MILITIA. Gov. Russell Officially Notified of Plans for the Summer Cruise. ON THE STEAMER PRAIRIE. A. and M. College Reorganization Trinity - - Commencement The Penitentiary. The Smallpox Scare Raleigh's Water Supply. Special Star Correspondence.' Raleigh, N. C, March 23. Examination of the laws passed by the last . Legislature shows; that the issue of bonds by counties and towns was authorized to the amount of three and a quarter million dollars It is expected that work on the hew Presbyterian Church, which is to re place the old First Presbyterian Church, will begin within the next month. There i5-ome difficulty in getting brick. The contract' calls for completion of the new building by Oc tober 1st. ! , , ' As soon as the Penitentiary case is decided the Governor will call a meet ing of his Council and recommend the loan, from the State Treasury, of the $6,000 which the Legislature failed, by an oversignt, to appropriate ior me support of the criminal insane. It is very likely that the Governor's recom mendation will be adopted. i The A. & M. College. The members of the committee on reorganization, appointed by the trus tees of the A.-&M. College at their recent meeting, are now making in quiries and investigations into the work and management of the college, with a view to ascertaining what changes in the faculty should be made. It is expected that a meeting of the committee will be held next week. A report will be submitted to a full meeting of the board in June. Until they do meet and take some action it is impossible to say just what changes will be made. It seems to be the plan now, however, to request the resignation of Mr. F. E. - Emory, the professor of agriculture, and elect Mr. W. F. Massey, the present professor of botany ana horticulture, as pro fessor of agriculture and horticulture. In such event a new professor will be chosen for the chair of biology and botany. Such an arrangement has the merit of combining the -theoretical work under one man, and the practi cal work under another. It is said that Mr. W. J. Peele, of this city, is a candidate for bursar of the college, the position now held by Mr. Butler. . Butler's Book-keeping has been anything but a grand suc cess. It will be remembered that soon after appointment he got things into a tangle and it took a special committee some time to straighten them out. Recently, when the college wanted a statement of its finances, for a report to the Legislature, it found a similar statfiLpf affairs existing. Again special help was called in and it took the com mittee three weeks to bring order out -of chaos. Finally, when the com mittee did succeed in finding out something about the financial condition of the college they discovered that some departments had not spent their allowance, while others had been permitted to go away over theirs. Because of this the trustees, at their recent meeting, passed a reso lution to the effect, that no professor shall spend more than the amount al lowed by the trustees for his depart ment. In case' he does so he shall re place the excess with his own salary. For some reason this resolution was never given out for publication. Another Change. Another change contemplated by the re-organization committee is the abolition of the office of Director of the Experiment Station a position now held by Mr. W. A. Withers and impose the duties of the place, which are very light, upon the president. This is done in South Carolina, Ten nessee, Virginia and other States, and will probabfjr be none m -this state after June. Smallpox Scare. A letter was to-day issued by the penitentiary authorities to the sheriffs of the various counties instructing them to hold in jail the convicts sen: tenced to the - penitentiary until the smallpox scare abates. A portion of the convicts at the penitentiary have already been vaccinated. The baccalauriate sermon will be preached at Trinity Commencement by Bishop Duncan. Bishop Vincent, originator of the Chautauqua move ment, will deliver the literary, ad dress. The alumni address will be by Dr. Ed. White, of Oxford. , Mayor Powell, who is also a candi date for re-election, comes out in a letter in favor of the city owning and operating its own water works. Un der the contractlbetween the city and the water company, the city fnow has the privilege .of purchasing the works at a fair price, and Mayor Pow ell thinks it ought to be done. He re commends the submission of the ques tion to the people in the regular elec tion primaries. , Special Star Telegram. ' Cruise of the Naval Reserves. Governor Russell has received a let ter from Assistant- Secretary of the Navy Allen, saying the U. S. S. Prairie had been assigned to duty for annual drill and instruction of naval militia organizations of the Atlantic and Gulf States, and adds: "The plan contemplates having the Prairie off Southport by or before May 22d, when she will pick up all the State diyis- ions, those from Wilmington and other points, if you so wish, being sent to her on board, the Hornet. The organizations will remain on board the Prairie for a drill period of. eight days, at the , end of which time they will be disembarked at Southport. As the Department has no appropriation for such purpose, the State of North Carolina will be ex pected to bear the expense of subsis tence of the organization while on board ship, and to see that they are supplied with proper bedding and an individual mess outfit". . ' The men are expected to be ready to go on board ship May 22. One day will be allowed in port for organiza tion, berthing, messing and the like. The vessel will then go to sea- and . re main seven days. -The first lour. days will be devoted to instruction and man-of-war routine duties, and the last two to target practice? Watch duties will be performed by officers of the militia under supervision of regular officers stationed onboard. 1 It is understood that. ex-President Hoffman will soon retire' from any active part in the management of the Seaboard Air Line. ! J. W, Smith and wife, of Forsvth county, have been poisoned by eating com preserved with salicylic acid. The New England newspaper men haye left the State. They spent a day in Winston and to-night left .for Au gusta, Ga. A letter from Camp Columbia, Cuba, says the First North Carolina regiment will sail Saturday on the , Vigilant 'for Savannah or Charleston. " LEFT FOR WASHINGTON. i Commander Morton and Capt. Meares Wilt Ask the Secretary of the Navy to Send Cruiser Raleigh Here. No time is bfetag lost by the special committee from the Chamber of Com merce in their efforts to assure the coming of the cruiser, Ealeigh to this port for the ceremonies attendant upon the presentation of a souvenir. cannon to the city of Raleigh. Com mander Geo. L. Morton and Capt. T. D. Meares, of the committee, left last night f or Washington where they will call upon, the' Secretary of the Navy for the purpose of presenting the claims of this city as'.well as the State, in that the presentation should be made to North Carolina's capital in a North Carolina port. It will be remembered that at the last meeting of the Chamber a com-, mittee to work to (.his end was ap pointed, . consisting 1 of Commander Morton, Capt Meares, Mr. W. H, Sprunt, C6L Walker jTay lor and Lieut. H. H. Mcllhenny. !v Both Commander Morton and Capt. Meares are very hopeful of success. New Series of Stock. The Wilmington I homestead and Loan Association will start a new series of stock, the first payment to be made April 1st. In : speaking of the company's business yesterday, a prom inent official said that the Homestead and Loan Association is the oldest company in Wilmington, having been organized thirteen years ago. And during all that time .has never lost a penny of any investment. The man agement is conservative and has the confidence of the 1 community. An important notice signed by the officers and directors is published in another column. i Euchre Party and Dance.. Harmony Circle gave a euchre par ty and dance last night in their apart ments in MacRae HalL There were about sixteen couples in attendance, and the evening was fraught with much enjoyment for every participant.
