Pipe Laying On Both Sides of Castle Street at Same Time Objected To Con tractors Promptly Complied With Request. Objection has been entered by the Wilmington Board of Fire Under writers to the condition of Castle street by reason of the excavations now going on there for the Wilming ton Sewerage Company. The objec tion was raised at a special meeting of the Board held on Wednesday and the secretary was instructed to con vey the objection to the chairman of the fire committee of the Board of Aldermen, which was done in the following communication from Mr.- S. M. Boatwright, which is self-ex planatory. "Alderman Geo. Harriss, Chairman of the Fire Committee, Board of Al dermen: "Dear Sib: As secretary of the local Board of Fire Underwriters it becomes my duty to respectfully call your attention to the present condi tion of Castle street. Parts of both sides of the street are rendered abso lutely impassible by the excavating of streets for laying pipes; and as pres ent rates of insurance granted to the city of Wilmington are based in part ' on the condition or the streets, l would like to call your attention to the fact that In case of fire should the de partment be impeded in their going to or attending same the city may be held liable for the closing of the street or streets in such case and respectfully suggest that in the future only one aide of the street be excavated at a time. Yours, respectfully. "8. M. Boatwright. Secretary." Alderman Harriss, to whom the communication, was sent expressed the opinion that it is proper that only one side of the street be excavated at a time. However, nothing has yet been done in an official way in this direction. The communication was shown by Alderman Harriss to Mayor Waddell but, of course, as it was not addressed to him officially, he could not take cognizance of the same. The Sewerage Company people say that the excavations are being made with great haste and the least possible hindrance to traffic is offered. The street is left in no worse condition than was Front street when excava tions were recently made for the Street Railway Company for laying track and while the Market and Prin cess street paving was going on some time ago. The hydrant at Front and Castle street is easily accessible to the fire de partment and up Castle street there is not another hydrant until Fourth is reached. This is also easily accessible to the department Alderman Harriss, who was seen yesterday by a Stab representative, stated in reference to the communica tion that he had a conference with members of both the contracting and sewerage firms and that they were perfectly willing to accede to any rea sonable and legal demands made upon them and that in the future the con struction would in no way interfere with the department in responding to a possible alarm. Alderman Harriss also said that he visited the excavation grounds yesterday and found the con tractors strictly complying with the request that only one aide of the street be excavated at a time. He says that as chairman of the fire committee he will give his personal attention to a compliance with the request of the underwriters and that he does not contemplate any resistance upon the part of the Sewerage Company. How ever, if there should be a violation of the request of the underwriters to' keep the- streets open, he said he would communicate with the Mayor who would promptly stop any block ading of the city's thoroughfares. NEXT AT THE OPERA HOUSE. A Dramatization of CorellTs .Celebrated Novel, "Thelma," Monday Night. "Thelma," so widely read and so well liked and which has won new laurels for that popular novelist, Marie Corelli, comes to the Opera House Monday night as a drama. The production will be on an elaborate scale and will be given by a strong cast. It is needless to comment on the plot of the piece except to say that it has lost none of the power and vivid ness told by Corelli. The action of the play is laid in Norway and Fin land and is a most refreshing dramatic novelty, being entirely different from any other play ever produced upon any stage. The snow storm is a very realistic scene and the death of the Viking on the burning ship will bring tears to every one's eyes. The com pany is an excellent one, the leading members having been associated with the best managers. Seats will boon sale at Gerken's tomorrow. Change In Mayor's Court. ' Mayor A. M.

Clowe received the sad ntelligence yesterday of the rather sudden death in Atlanta, Ga., of his brother-in-law, Mr. G. W. Gates, for many years a well known and popu lar A. C. L. engineer with headquar ters in Wilmington. Mr. Gates died as the result of a stroke of paralysis suffered a few days ago in Atlanta, and the news of his demise will be heard with great regret by numerous friends here. Deceased was a native of Peters burg, Va., but came to Wilmington and resided here for many years. About two years ago hev left to take a position as machinist for the Southern Railway and was living in Atlanta at the4ime of his death. He married Miss Annie Clowe, of Wilmington, and surviving him besides the sorrow- ng wife are four sons and two daugh ters. They are Messrs. Geo. A. Gates, of Florida; William H. Gates, of Macon, Ga. ; R. L. Gates, of this city; A. P. Gates, of Rocky Mount; Mrs. Robert Bowman, of Petersburg, Va., and Miss Julia Gates, who resided with her parents. Tbe remains of the late Mr. Gates will arrive, perhaps, on the Seaboard Air Line train this afternoon at 12:05 o'clock. No funeral arrangements had been made last night. THE STATE PENITENTIARY. Notwithstanding Bad Crop Year Instita tion Will be SelNSnstainlsg. Director J. A. Brown, of the Execu tive Board of the State prison, was here yesterday, returning to his home at Chadbourn from Raleigh, where he attended a meeting of the Board Wednesday. Chairman Travis could not attend, but Mr. Nathan O'Berry, Mr. J. A. Brown and Mr. W. E. Cross land, the other members of the Board, were present. A member of the Board said yester day to the Raleigh News and Observer that, notwithstanding the bad crop year, the management expects to make the prison self-sustaining. The only hope of doing this, he said, was in the fact that the current expenses of the institution have been reduced one half. V The convicts who h&ve been em ployed on the East Carolina road, numbering 125 in all, returned to the penitentiary this week. They con structed the East Carolina road from Tar boro to Farmville, which is twenty- five miles in length. Work on the road was finished last week. In ten days the 125 convicts who built this road will be sent to Marion to con struct the Marion and BakersviTle turnpike. The prison baa contracted to furnish the convicts to build the turnpike. FIREMAN WILL SUE CITY. Ladderman King, Injured Last June by a Dynamite Cartridge, Alleges Negli gence On Part of Aotborilles Ladderman R. H. King, of the Fire Department, who had three fingers and a thumb blown off by the explo sion of a dynamite cartridge at the Hook and Ladder station last June, has announced that he will sue the city for damages by reason of the alleged negligence in allowing an ex plosive to be left on the floor as it was in the case of the accident which in jured him. Mr. King was only this week able to return to his duties as a fireman and he says that upon returning - he was refused his position until he stood another physical examination. This he refused to do and left the depart ment He has not yet employed counsel or instituted suit, but has announced his decision to do so. r "EAST LYNNE" LAST NIOHT. Presented to Fair-Sized Audience at tbe Wilmington Opera Hoase. Well known and by some still liked "East Lynne" was presented at the Opera House last night. With but slight exception it was the same old version. Miss Leah Lessi appeared in the stellar dual role of Lady Isabel and Madame Vine, but the require ments of the role were too much for her ability, though all indications proclaim her a clever actress but not a star. Her support was rather weak. except for Mr. E. J. Le Saint, who portrayed well Carlyle, never over stepping a part that too much acting kills, and -Jlr. James Rodney, who made much of the "bit" Dill. m. St Claire's Levison and Miss Finch's Cornelia were good, though better has been seen. One of the most enjoyable features of the evening was a cornet duet by Profs. Schloss and Harvey, of tbe or chestra. No Chamber of Commerce Meeting. Although there were several mat ters of ' importance for consideration, there was no quorum at yesterday afternoon's regular monthly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce.

Officer in Waiting for Still Another Visit Arrested the Negro in tbe Store of E. Warren & Son Clever Way of Entrance. Acting Sergeant E. J. Grimsley, of the police force, made a very clever capture of a burglar last night shortly before 10 clock, and as a result of the same wniiam Brown, colored, will perhaps do a good long term on the roaas or mine penitentiary. The negro was captured in the con fectionery 8tore of E. Warren & Son, Front and Market streets, atd there will be no quibbling over the evidence for the negro was caught in the "very act," according to police parlance. Within the past ten or fifteen days the cash register in the store has been relieved of its contents on several oc casions at night One time the bur glar succeeded in getting away with $7.50, and two nights before tbe cap ture $12.60 was stolen. Mr. Archie Warren, proprietor of the store, de termined upon the arrest of the thief, and took Chief of Police Furlong into his confidence. Chief Furlong de tailed Acting Sergeant Grimsley to secrete himself in the store and await the possible arrival of the culprit for another steal. Last night the store was closed as usual about 9 o'clock but when the doors were ocked Officer Grimsley had a cozy seat just behind the register. He didn't have to wait an hour on his victim. for soon he came tip-toeing down the stairs leading from the second floor. The officer remained quiet until the burglar had opened the drawer for his third consecutive haul. Then Officer Grimsley loomed up, ghost-like, and aid hands upon the intruder, who was surprised, to say the least. He offered no resistance and when brought to the light he proved to be the porter at Mr. Fred Herbst's saloon, next door. The negro had gone to tbe third story of the saloon building without detec tion by Mr. Herbst or any of the clerks, and let himself down to a win dow on the second floor of the Warren building. From thence he effected an entrance into the confectionery store and was at liberty to go down stairs and rifle the cash register with but ittle chance of being caught Brown is about 35 years of age and has hitherto borne a good character. He was locked up at the police station for trial to-day at noon in the police court THE FIRE LAST NIGHT. Pitch Kettle and Material Belonging to a Colored Man Burned Serious Con flagratlon Expected by Many. What many people thought would be a serious conflagration in the rosin yards and sheds across the river last night about 10 o'clock, resulted only in the burning of a pitch kettle belong ing to George Foreman, colored, and situated about 150 yards in the rear of Paterson, Downing & Company's naval store sheds, nearly opposite Princess street The loss is about $300, with no insurance. But for the dead calm there would perhaps have been a fire loss of many thousands of dollars. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it started presumably from fire left in the furnace when, the day's work had been finished It was discovered by Night Watchman McClammy, at Paterson, Downing & Co. 'a shed, and he promptly 'phoned to the City Hall, and an alarm was turned in from box 27, corner of Third and Princess streets. The blaze was plainly seen in the west and the department had no trouble in locating it although they were unable to get across the river with apparatus. Capt Herbert Ward soon had steam on the tug Buck, however, and Chief Schnibben and a number of the fire men went over by that means . They assisted in cutting off all connection between the fire and the sheds and later returned to the city, leaving fire men White and Turlington in case of an emergency. Hundreds of people wece attracted to the wharves on the city side of the river and many went across in boats to get a more accurate ' view of the situation, which was at one time con sidered very grave. Schooner Goodwin Stoddard. The schooner Goodwin Stoddard, which put in at Southport a few days ago leaking, will be taken in tow by the tug Alexander Jones this morning for Philadelphia, to which point she is bound from Key West, Fla. Capt J. J. Adkins will go as master of the tug, which was up to the city yester day for coal and supplies. The Black River Run. The steamer E. A. Howes, Capt. Robeson, arrived in port yesterday from Fayetteville to resume her regu lar schedule on Black River.
