WILMINGTON SEWERAGE CO.
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.

DEATH OF MR. 0. W. GATES.
Pormer Resident of Wilmington and Well
Known A. C. L. Engineer Died In At
lasts, Os Tbe Ponersl Here.
Mr. R. B. 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

CAPTDRED BURGLAR.
William Brown, Colored Porter,
Caught in Act of Rifling -a
Cash Register.
HE MADE REPEATED STEALS.
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

day for coal and supplies.
