A MAGNIFICENT GIFT.
Trustees of Hemenway Estate
Presented Splendid Property
to City School Interests.
THE VALUE ABOUT $30,000.
Tiles toa Bnlidlag With Beaatifa! Campus,
on Ann Street, Donated to Commit
tees Nob. 1 and 2 by Philan
thropic Northern Men.
Wilmington people generally and
especially those of the more publio
spirited inhabitants, who manifest a
lively interest in all that pertains to
the educational interests of the city.
will be gratified beyond measure and,
to say the least of it, profoundly
grateful, at the announcement this
morning that the magnificent Tileston
High School building, with its exten
sive campus, pretty lawns and beau
tiful shade trees, on Ann street, has
been magnanimously donated to tbe
city public school system of Wilming
ton1. The donation is by the trustees of
the estate of the late Mrs. Mary Hem
enway, of Boston, Mass., who founded
the institution many years ago, and
was perfected within the last' few
days through the kindly offices of the
chairmen of School Committees Nos.
1 and 2 of this city. Negotiations
have been pending since last Summer
regarding tbe transfer, which finally
culminated in the decision of the
trustees of the estate to make the deed
of gift .to School Committees Nos. 1
and 2 for the sole and exclusive pur
pose of the higher education of the
white race.
The gift of this magnificent property
is a voluntary cpntribution from the
trustees of the estate to the School
committees named, and it means so
much to the community both from an
elevating and educational viewpoint,
that some public recognition should
be madein not only assuring the gen
erous donors of the thorough appre
ciation of the community, but as a
manifestation of an earnest determina
lion on the part of every citizen to
accord most hearty support and co
operation to the zealous school com
mitteemen and chairman of . the joint
committee, who have labored inces
santly to bring about such a happy
result.
The building is of brick, and has
three floors, upon which are a large
assembly room, with a seating capacity
of 600, six class rooms, and library
and office for the the Superintendent
of City Schools. It is situated in the
middle of Block No. 116, c3mprising
the whole of lots Nos. I, 2 and 3 in
that block, and is surrounded by ex
tensive grounds, exceedingly fine
lawns and beautiful shade trees. The
size of the lot is 330 feet on Ann street
and runs South and parallel with
Fourth and Fifth streets, 198 feet. The
property is approximately valued at
$30,000, and the deeds of transfer are
now in process of being recorded.
The building was constructed in the
year 1871 at a cost of $25,000 by the
late Mrs. Hemenway, for the higher
education of students and was success
fully conducted as the Tileston Normal
School from 1871 to 1891 inclusive.
under the able supervision of Jttiss
Amy Bradley, who still resides in this
city and enjoys the distinction of be
ing one of the most thorough and com
petent instructors that Wilmington,
perhaps, has ever had. The school
remained closed from 189,1 to 1896 but
since Jan. 1st, 1896, the property has
been leased for a nominal considera
tion to the school committees of this
city. Since that date the public high
school, still retaining the name "Tiles
ston," has been conducted by the com
mittees, first under the superinten
dence of Prof. M. C. S- Nobles and for
the past two years under the super
vision of Mr. John Jay Biair.
The first official cognizance of
the generous act upon tne part
of the trustees of the estate,
who are named as Mr. Augustus
Hemenway, Reginald Gray and
Horatio A. Lowe, was taken at a joint
meeting of the school committees held
at the residence of Mr. James H.
Chad bourn on Wednesday night, Feb.
6th, at which were present Mr. James
F. Post, chairman of the committee
of School District No. 1; Mr. Richard
J. Jones and Mr Edwin Borden; Mr.
James H. Chadbourn, chairman of the
committee of School District No. 2., Mr.
Samuel Northrop and Capt. W. R.
Kenan. Mr. Junius Davis counsel for
for the committees was also present
Mr. James H. Chadbourn was made
chairman' of the meeting ana jar.
James F. Post, secretary.
The committees were officially no
tified of the action of the trustees or
the Hemenway estate; that the deeds
to the property had been prepar
ed by Mr. Davis and au mat wa
necessary to made the transaction
complete was the signatures of mem
bers of the committee. Tne pa
pers were thereupon completed and
ordered recorded. A resolution was
offered by. Mr. Richard J. Jones and
seconded by every member or me
committee, tendering the thanks of the
school authorities of this city to tne
gentlemen composing the trustees of
the estate for the magnincent gut.
The resolution sets forth in detail the
importance of the gift to the com
munity and the far reaching effect
that it will have upon the future edu
cational facilities for high school train-
inr The ' resolutions were unani
mously adopted and after remarks by
each member of the committee ex
pressive of gratification and gratitude,
the whole proceedings were ordered
spread upon the minutes andthe secre
tary was instructs to forward a certi
fied copy of the same to the trustees of
the Hemenway estate. j

Want to Chanxe the Name
A meeting of property owners at
Wrigfltsville Beach is called for to
night at 8 o'clock in the mayor's office
for the purpose of considering the
matter of changing the name,
"Wrightsville Beach," or "Ocean
View," to another to be agreed upon
later, and to take steps toward asking
the Legislature to grant such a request.
It is understood that the principal
reason for desiring the change is on
account of mail facilities. All mail
is directed to Wrightsville Sound by
order of the government, and hence
an unnecessary delay is caused. Also,
that there would be les3 trouble for
passengers travelling on cheap rate
tickets in the Summer. It is urged
that there be a good attendance.
About the Sixth District.
Speaker Moore, of the Lower House
of the General Asssembly, has intro
duced another bill redisricting the
State for tbe election of Congressmen
by which the Sixth District loses
Anson and Union counties, to the
Eighth. Mecklenburg to the Ninth,
Pender to the Third, Richmond to the
Seventh, and gains Bladen, Cumber-'
land, Harnett and Moore from the
Third District The bill will make the
ten districts Democratic, it is said, and
will leave the Sixth with a population
of 166,623, and a Democratic majority
of 8,942.
Basket BaU To.Nltht.
The A. C. L. and Business Men's
basket ball teams will play a game to
night at 8.S0 at the City Hall. The
contest will no doubt be very exciting,
i The business men's team has never
been defeated, and the A. O. L. boys
I say they are determined to smash that
record to-night . The price ot aumis-
tion will be ten cents. A potato race
will be run after the game. ;

THE FERTILIZER RATE CASE.
Reasoning and Conclusion of Special Master
Martin Confirmed by Judge Slmonton.
Raleigh News and Observer, 7th
Judge Simonlon has decided the fer
tilizer rate case in favor of the Corpo-.
ration Commission. It was received
at the office of the clerk of the Federal
Court yesterday. Tbe decision over
rules the exceptions to the report of
Standing Master Martin, and confirms
the same. The reasoning and conclu
sions of the Special Master are per
fectly satisfactory.
The case was brought by the Sea
board Air Line Railway. The Corpo
ration Commission issued a circular
establishing a rate for the transporta
tion of fertilizer, and fixing ten tons as
the minimum car load. It also granted
the right to the Carolina Central Rail
way Company to charge 30 per cent,
in addition to- standard rates.
The railroads brought suit, alleging
in their complaint that the rates were
unreasonably low, and compelled the
company to conduct operations at a
loss and without fair enumerations.
They also claimed that the minimum
car load of 10 tons was unreasonable
and discriminated against the small
shippers. ,
The case was hotly contested in the
Federal Court and was referred to
Eugene Martin, Esq., of Wilmington,
to take evidence and report After
taking a voluminous amount of evi
dence, Mr. Martin made his report, de
ciding in favor of the Commission.
Almost every one of the decisions
were excepted to by the railroad and
tbe exceptions were argued before
Judge Simonton in Charleston last
week.
Want Street Cars Vstlbnled.
Mr. A. B. Skelding, f general man
ager of the Wilmington Street Rail
way Company, returned yesterday
from Raleigh, where he appeared be
fore the Legislative committee on
Railroads and Railroad Commissions,
in opposition to a bill by Mr. Whit
aker of Forsyth, requiring all street
railways to have .vestibules on their
cars during the months from Novem
ber to April and fenders on all pas
senger cars, xne matter na ueeu
referred.after discussion, to a sub com
mittee for investigation and re-draft.
The chief objection to tbe vestibules
appear to be that the rain, snow and
frost -on the glass in front of the
motorman would prevent mm from
seeing clearly and thus increase
danger to pedestrians. It would also
impede hearing and would be of little
benefit in places of such mild climate
as Raleigh and Wilmington. Few of
the short lines North have such ar
rangements. !

STATE LGISLATDRE. I
Divorce Bill the Most important
Feature of Discussion in
m the House.
THE SUBSTITUTE ADOPTED.
Repeals All Laws on Divorce Since 1895
and Snbstitntes tbe Law Prescribed
la the Code Goes Back to tbe
Senate for Concurrence
Special Star Telegram.
Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 7. The most
important feature of the General As
sembly to-day was the discussion and
action on the divorce bill in the House.
Having passed the Senate, it came up
as the special order at 11 o'clock and
was-not- disposed -f-tU nearly ,
o'clock. Mr. Simms offered a subsii
tute which was finally adopted. Ii
repeals all laws on divorce since 1895,
and the law prescribed by the Code now
becomes the law under the bill. An
amendment by Mr. Hayes was adopted,
providing that all parties divorced un
der the laws repealed can re-marry,
and pending proceedings, will not be
interfered with. The substitute goes
back to the Senate for concurrence,
where it may encounter opposition by
those who believe continued aban
donment should be ground for divorce.
The Senate bill to investigate the
management of the Blind Institute
was adopted by the House. Mr. Win
ston said his committee had just com
pleted a report highly commending
the management of the institution,
but he wanted the bill passed so that
officers would be fully vindicated.
There was another discussion of the
bill to raise the pay of State convict
guards from $15 to $20 per month.
The gene-al contention was that
plenty of worthy men all over the
State would be glad of the job at $15.
The discussion was interrupted by the
special order.
Bills were introduced: By Mann,
to pay claim shell fish industry. By
Carlton, to prevent the sale of liquor
near Chinquepin church. By Robin
son, to allow Onslow county to levy a
special tax.- By White, petition to
prohibit raising peanuts on State
farms. By Ardrey, petition favor
ing tax on dogs.
The bill by McLean, of Scotland, to
allow the State's prison to manufac
ture fertilizers was made the special
order for next Tuesday at 11 o'clock.
In the Senate lepon the committee'
