HANDSOME STORE BUILDING
Old Building Comer Front and Market
- Streets to Give Place to a Strnc
ture of Modern Design.
Plans have" just been completed by
Mr. H. E.-Bonitz, 'the architect, for
another splendid new? building to be
erected by S. and B. Solomon. . It will
take the place of the building now used
for their wholesale and retail merchan
tile establishment, corner Market and
Front streets. As Stab readers are
aware Messrs. Zacharyand Zacharyr
contractors, are now erecting a large
and handsome building on an adja
cent lot on Front street for Messrs..
Solomon. The building, the plans for
which are just drawn, will complete
the Solomon blocs: to the corner of
Market and Front streets. It will
have a frontage of 67 feet on Front
street and 50 feet on Market street. It-
will be three stories, finish ecTin pressed
brick with terracotta and galvanized
iron trimmings. The style of architec
ture is renaissance. The main entrance
will be oh the corner of Market and
Front streets where a tower will extend
some distance above the main build
ing.
The street floor of the new buiLl
iog will be used for the retail depart
ment of the store, and the second
and third stories fitted up for whole
sale stock roomsV -.
Work will commence on the south
half of this building, fronting 32 feet
on Front street within the next week
or two. The old building is to be
torn away. Messrs. Zachary and
Zachary are making good headway
upon the section of the Sdlomon
block now in course of construction.
It is safe to say that within less than
1? months the entire block will be
ready for occupancy.
JAILED X)N
SERIOUS
-X
CHARGE.
Negro Who Forged Nsme to An Incendi
ary and Slanderous Letter Hear
Ing To-morrow.
Arthur Blue, colored, was com
mitted to jail last night by Deputy
Sheriffs Flynn and Terry, charged
with the forgery of the name of Will
Bell, also colored. j
Bell's name was forged to a letter
written to Deputy Sheriff Terry in a
threatening manner, rillifying Mr.
Terry and openly challenging him
and bis white constituents to attempt
to drive him from the city as Arie
Bryant was banished. It was a most
incendiary letter and Mr. Terry says
he has facts in his possession to prove
that it was written "at the instance of
Blue; in fact last night at the jail a
reporter of the Stab saw a twelve
twelve old son of.. Blue, who con
fessed to have written . the letter at
the direction of his father and to have
signed Bell's name to the same. The
text of the letter is even more scanda
lous than the infamous article which
caused the destruction of Manly
Record, and its- insinuations against
white females are too indecent to
print.
Whether the letter was written by
Blue to give vent to his malice against
Mr. Terry or to bring down the wrath"
of the white citizens upon Bell is not
known. The boy is very positive in
his statements concerning the letter,
and does not hesitate to say that it
was written at the dictation of his
father. He was held -at the jail last
night as a witness in the case, which
will come up for an investigation be
fore Justice McGowan to-morrow, at
an hour to be set later.
Deputy Sheriff Terry received the
letter -several days ago, but it was
not until last night that he with Mr.
Flynn discovered the author of the
incendiary epistle and had collected
sufficient evidence tomake the arrest,
The boy was asked last night to
write something for comparison
with the letter and the. handwriting
was identically the same.
Justices' Confts.
Fred Hill, colored, was arrested yes
terday by Deputy Sheriffs Flynn and
Terry for house breaking. The charge
was preferred by another negro, and
the case will be investigated by Jus
tice McGowan to-morrow morning at
10 o'clock. Holly Bloom, colored, for
disorderly conduct; Frank Spice r, for
disorderly conduct and assault and
battery, and John Miller and Napo
leon Bisnop, all colored, on similar
charges, were tried yesterday before
Justice McGowan, judgment being
suspended in each case upon payment
of costs. '
William Brown and Mary Walker,
both colored, were tried, by Justice
Fowler for adultery and each bound
over to ihe Criminal Court in the
sum of $100. In default of bond
Brown went to jail. Cato Littleton
was arraigned for seduction, but the
case was compromised before going
into an investigation.
Justice Bornemann also tried a num
ber of cases yesterday.

GENERAL WADE HAMPTON HERE.
Will be the Guest of Col. Wharton J.
Green at Wrightsville. ,
General Wade Hampton, the distin
guished South Carolinian and beloved
Confederate hero, was a Wilmington
visitor yesterday, having arrived in
the city yesterday afternoon on the
W., C. & A. train at 1.45 o'clock.
General Hampton was met at the
train by Col. Wharton J. Green,
whose guest he will be for several days
at the cottage of Mr. Pembroke Jones,
at Wrightsville.
Very few people in the city knew
of General Hampton's coming, and
there was but a small crowd at the
depot to welcome him.
Col. Green and , the distinguished
Confederate have been life-long friends
and have spent much of their time in
each other's company. After shaking
hands with a few of his old friends and
forming several new acquaintances,
he was driven by Col. Green to
Wrightsville.
Fire Record for June. V
Chief Schnibben's report of the fire
department for the past month, which
will go to the Board of Aldermen at its
regular meeting to-morrow, shows
that during June" ten alarms were re
sponded to eight bell alarms, one
still alarm and one alarm : by tele
phone. The causes were. . as-fol lows'
Sparks from chimney, 2; sparks from
smoke-stack, 1; chimney burning out
1; lamp explosion, 1 ; spontaneous
combustion, 1 ; defective flue, 3, and
lightning, 1. The value on buildings
in which fires were located was $12,250 p
contents $1,500. The insurance on
these buildings was $6,550; contents
$550. The damage to buildings was
$6391, and to contents fifty cents.
This is a splendid report and presents
a ' favorable comparison .with J une,
1898, when the same number of alarms
were responded to, the damage aggre
gating $1,019.35.
