THE REFRIGERATOR SERVICE. The Fralt Growers' Express Promises Im proved Traasportatfoa Track Growers' Joaraal's View of the Situation. Forty days hence this section of Eastern North Carolinia, or at least that portion of it devoted to strawberry culture, will be all aglow with fever ish excitement over the approaching heavy movement of the berry crop, . which, this year, all concede, will be the largest in the history of the indus try in this section. The Carolina Fruit and Truck Growers'' Journal, the official organ of the Eastern Carolina Fruit and Truck Growers' Association, in its issue of yesterday presents a page review of the outlook for the season, which makes altogether interesting reading for growers's and those interested in the handling of the crop. Altogether the Journal's estimate of strawberry in crease In acreage this year over last is fully 20 per cent. Much of the increase however is of last fall's planting which will not yield more than half crop. The vines have been well cared for all through the .winter and the field- are generally all well strawed. From every point at which inquiries have been made respecting conditions and the general outlook for the 1902 crop, reports of a most encouraging character have been received and the growers generally are in a very hope ful frame of mind. By all it is con ceded that the yield this year bids fair to be unusually heavy and the fruit of a superior quality. Vegetation has been held back by reason of the cold winter thus far, as a result of which there has been no premature budding or forward growth of the vines. When spring opens, therefore, and the sea son for budding is ripe there will no doubt be a harmonious blending of all the elements in favor of a good and wholesome yield and a high order of fruit. In the vegetable line, the Journal says, the outloook is equally bright. Lettuce shipments have been going forward practically all the year round, and shipments are of good average value. The bean and pea crops will be up to the average this year and far ahead of last season, while the potato, canteloupe and watermelon crops will be among the most important in the history of this section. The farmers have their work of cultivation well under way, and the season's returns should be large and remunerative. Mr. EL T. Bauman, the enterprising business agent of the Truckers' Asso ciation, at the last meeting of the Ex ecutive Committee in this city, sub mitted a statement showing the acre acre in strawberries to be about 4,767 acres along the lines of the W. &W W. CL & A. and A. & Y. roads. This indicates an increase over last year of not exceeding 10 ner cent, but the Journal i yesterday differed with Mr. Bauman on that point and places the increase at fully 20 per cent. De tailing its reasons for that estimate, the Journal says that along the W. C & A. road and connections, the increase will be fully 50 per cent over last year, while the greatest increase along the W. & W. road is to be found south of Wallace. Above that point there will be no increase to speak of, the decrease at some places offsetting any increase at others. Along the Yadkin division the increase will be lanrely confined to the territory be tween Wilmington and Parkersburg, although at Fayetteville a slight in crease is reported. In a detailed report of the recent meeting of the Executive uommittee of the Truckers' Association in tnis city, upon which Mr. G. B. Robbins, of the Fruit Growers' Express, was in attendance, the Journal says of the re- refrigerator service this season "With Mr. Robbins the question of nntamant for the coming year was discussea most nuuacwruj uu uo mured the committee that no stone r . . lf A. 11 1 V.- would be left unturned by his com pany to give the shippers a gilt-edge refrigerator service in every particular.

McLean and Tyler The announced return engagement of Mr. McLean and Miss Tyler at the Opera House on. Tuesday evening; is of peculiar inter est to the theatre-going public of the city. The engagement is considered one of the most important ever se cured for the local play-house, and the great stars will undoubtedly be greeted oy one or the largest audi ences that ever assembled in the house. Both Mr. McLean and Miss Tyler, have long been recognized as among the leading lights in the theat rical profession, and this season they have undertaken a revival of the legitimate " drama on an elaborate scale. That they have met with un bounded success is attested bv the splendid houses that have greeted mem in every city in which thev have so far appeared, and by the en thusiastic criticisms from press and public everywhere. Bv reauest Shakespeare's historical drama "King jonn" will be presented on the com ing night.

The piece has made an enormous hit both in New York and in London, in which cities it has been presented for the two past seasons, and now, for the first time it is being taken on a tour of the principal cities of this country. BUILDING BOOM AT BURQAW. Pender' County Seat Is Flourishing. Army of Produce Solicitors Arrivluf . Bruce Williams, Esq., of Burgaw, was in the city yesterday on one of his periodical professional visits. When asked by a reporter for the news, Mr. Williams said: "You can say that our town, Burgaw, is now on the boom. Three large brick stores are just being completed there and they will be occu pied very soon by wide-wake mer chants, who are on the look-out for the strawberry business about 60 days hence. The stores are all handsome ones, of large size and are a valuable addition to our place. I have travelled from Wilmington to Rocky Mount much in the past few weeks and I find no such building boom as there is now on at Burgaw." Speaking of the strawberry outlook Mr. Williams said tr at the advance guard of the small army of produce solicitors was already arriving in the strawberry belt. He also said that the disposition on the part of tne growers this year seemed to be to sell their berries on the spot and not risk con- signments to parties of unknown res nonsibility in the North. They were badly fooled in some instances and paid for their berries in bogus checks last season and don't want a repetition of that treatment this year. DEATH OP A YOUNG MAN. Mr. Jao. W. Tamer Died of Conssmptlos Fridsy Nlfht Fnseral To-day. Jno. W.

Adioorned Last Nlrht Very Little Bast ess Transacted Dariof the Week. L. V. Grady,' Esq., returned yester day from Whiteville where he had been in attendance upon the one-week term of Columbus Superior Court, which adjourned last night. The court was engaged a greater portion of the week in hearing a long case entitled Lucas vs. the 8eaboard Air Line railway, in which the plain tiff seeks to recover of the defendant 3.000 for an allesred overflow of his lands near Martville, N. C, by water. The suit was begun in Bladen Superior Court, on one occasion a verdict of $3,800 having been set aside and on the other, the case having been trans ferred to Columbus county for trial. The hearing this time began on Wed nesday afternoon. Maj. Jno. D. Shaw, of Bockingham; Jno. D. Shaw, Jr . Baa., of Laurinbunr. and D. J. Lewis.

Will Befia Upon His Tern la Pcsitestlarr as Soon as Dismlsssl Is Certified Down From Higher Tribunal. Convicted November 9th. H. Hauser, the Swiss watchmaker tried and convicted at last November's term of the New Hanover Superior Court for having set fire to and par tially burned his jewelry store on Mar ket between Front and Second streets, will not have the advantage of a hear ing of his case on appeal to the Su preme Court as was expected. Thexase would have been heard by the Supreme Court in Raleigh next Tuesday, but the attorneys for the defence in the action decided that there was no longer any use to fight the case and failed to perfect the same on appeal, which virtually amounts to a withdrawal. On Tues day, therefore, the case will be called in the Supreme Court and it will be in order for the State's attorneys, Messrs. Bellamy & Bellamy, Herbert Mc Clammy and Wm. J. Bellamy, Esqs., to make a motion for dismissal, which disposition of the matter will, with out a doubt, be made. The dismissal will then be certified down- to the Clerk of the Superior Court in New Hanover and Hauser will be sent to the penitentiary to begin a term of ten years in that institution. The trial of Hauser lasted four days in tne superior Court and created much interest at the time from the vol ume and sensational character of the evidence for the prosecution. Attor neys for Hauser made every effort to get a verdict of guilty with recommen dation to mercy set aside and a new trial ordered, but without avail. The case was then appealed to the Supreme Court and bond fixed at $3,000. Hauser could" not give the bond and has since been confined in jail here, pending the result of the appeal to the Supreme Court He has been a most exemplary prisoner and a num ber of friends have worked hard to secure his release. He is 51 years of age and a man of much more than ordinary intelligence. The crime of which he stands convicted was com mitted on August 11th, last year. He was tried in the Superior Court No vember following. DR. WINSTON'S ADDRESS NEXT WEEK Much Interest Is Manifested by Commer cial Bodes A Live Sabject. Much interest is being manifested in commercial circles over the address to be delivered here in the Y. M. O. A. auditorium next Friday night by Dr. Geo T. Winston, president of the A. & M. College, on the Industrial De velopment of Eastern North Carolina and country adjacent to Wilmington. In speaking of the address a prominent business man of Wilmington said yes terday: "This will be a rare opportunity to those who want to keep in touch with the march of progress, as well as to equip themselves, in a time when to lag means to falter, and as this applies to individuals, so it does to cities. "There is no section in North Caro lina that Nature has done so much for as it nas in tne wumington section, and to take advantage of it as we should would mean a long stride in the way of progress. "Dr. Winston may not be able to. tell us all new things, but no doubt he will tell us all something that we are overlooking. - If he can unite the citizens of Wilmington in putting their shoulders together in resolving to do as much for Wilmington as Nature has done for us, we would soon have a city unsurpassed by none on the Atlantic coast."

Five-Masted Schooner Blown From Her Coarse nnd 24 Days Out, ia for Har bor nt Sentbport- The big five-masted schooner Pres cott Palmer, 2,307 tons, Oapt D. H. Sumner, one of the only two or three vessels of that rig in existence, and bound light from Bath, Me., to Balti more, arrived at Southport at 10 A. M. yesterday and dropped anchor, having been blown out of her course 600 miles. The vessel, which is owned by Palmer Bros., of Bath, and built only last year, is in perfectly sound condi tion although she has been at sea and tossed by numerous storms for 24 days and nights. Capt Sumner suffered a painful fracture of the right arm ou Feb. 9th as a result of the rough sea, but beyond that all is well with the crew, and the schooner will likely proceed as soon as another master ar rives to relieve Capt. Sumner. He consulted Dr. Watson at Southport yesterday and found that the tempor ary Betting of his arm had begun to knit nicely, altnougn the arm will be crooked for life unless it is broken again and re-set. Tbat Capt. Sumner decided he would not have done just yet. Those who came up from Southport yesterday say the schooner is lying just off the Wilmington's wharf, and is one of the prettiest vessels. that ever entered the port; she is certainly the largest schooner that ever came over the Cape Fear bar and would carry three million feet of lumber for a single cargo. There are two or three six- masters in the world and about the same number the size of the Palmer. THE FUNhLAX THIS AFTERNOON. Remains of Rev. P. C. Morton Will be Laid to Rest To-day.
