Fait Company, Talks Eacoarazlngly of the Prospect. Will Use Tomatoes Eiclnsiyely at First Strawberries. Mr. William Fait, president of the Wm. Fait Company, Boston and Patuxent streets, Baltimore, Md., spent several days here the past week and has about completed arrange ments for a lease the coming season of Mr. George T.' Johnson's extensive canning factory about two miles from the city on the Castle Haynea' road. Mr. Fait was a guest at The Orton while in the city and left last night, returning home. He will, however, come here again in a few weeks and will then conclude all arrangements for operating the factory if conditions as to growing crops are at all favorable. Mr. Fait says the factory, if operated by his company, will can tomatoes exclusively the first season but that he has no doubt of extending the busi ness into other lines if the first year proves a success. He will have every arrangement, he says, for using the product of at least 125 acres of toma toes, if the truckers in this section will plant and cultivate them. Tne season for canning tomatoes, he says, will begin about July 1st, and close about September 1st, and during that time the factory will be in posi tion to pay remunerative prices for the fruit. Next year, if the experi ment with tomatoes is a success, straw berry canning will be undertaken about May 1st, until the tomato crop is ready in July. Mr. Fait says the factory here is ex cellently cquipoed and has a capacity of about 15.000 cans per day. The field is a great one for the canning in dustry and all that is needed Is the co-operation of the growers in fur nishing the raw products. Messrs. Bellamy & Bellamy are attorneys for the Wm. Fait Company in their plans for this section and can give all information as to their relia bility. In Baltimore the company owns and operates a tremendous fac tory on the river front and are lead ing packers in that city of hermetically sealed oysters, fruits, vegetables, etc. Mr. Fait, while here, attended the lecture of Dr. Winston to the boards of trade at the Y. M. C. A. and was much interested in his talk along industrial lines and especially that portion of it which dealt with the de sirability of the East for canning. He had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Win ston and conversing with him upon the subject of the possibilities of this section. "CAROLINA DAY" OBSERVED.

"I have interviewed many of your local baseball enthusiasts," said Mr.' Rivers yesterday, "and they advise calling the meeting on Tuesday night to discuss what Wilmington will ; do about entering the League. All whom I have seen, favor putting a team in the field, and nearly all have expressed a willingness to give! it their financial aid.

That's Why a Boisterous Negro Will Have to Serve Thirty Dsys On the Rosds. In the municipal court yesterday James Bennett, a negro boat hand on the steamer Compton, was arraigned for disorderly conduct His infraction of the law consisted of some wild re marks he used Friday afternoon in de fence of the negro desperado who shot and perhaps fatally wounded Fore man Gregory. He attempted to justi fy the South Carolina negro's conduct in a wild harangue, which came to the ears of Fireman Bell, a white man, and several other employes on the Compton, who were kind enough to report his remarks to the police. Chief Furlong swore out a warrant against Bennett and OEcer I. F. Huggins soon had him securely locked in the station house. Yesterday morning Mayor Waddell gave him 30 days on the county roads for his behavior and Superintendent 8hearin took him out to the stockade at Castle Haynes in the afternoon, j In passing sentence upon him, OoL Wad dell spoke to the negro, he said, as a citizen not as an official, but he ad vised him upon the expiration of his sentence at Castle Haynes, to leave at once for parts unknown to Wilming ton people. "The misbehavior of such irresponsible and shiftless negroes aa you," said Mayor Waddell, "often brings hardship upon the innocent and well-meaning of your race. I would advise you again to go further." SUCCESS OF A WILMINQTONIAN. Mr. Leon L. Motte Becomes Official Court Stenographer In S. C. District.

He Rested Comfortsbly Yesterday, But Will Not Pass Dsnger Point Until To-day Description of Negro. Mr. J. H. Gre&rory, the foreman for Messrs. Wm. McLean & Co., the sew erage contractors, who was shot by the South Carolina negro desperado Fri day afternoon, rested very well at the hospital yesterday and no unfavorable symptoms developed. The wounds have not been re-opened and the loca tion of the bullet, which entered the loin on his left side, just above the crest of the hip bone, is still unknown. That wound is the only serious one of the four he received, and not unti1 this evening will the time for the de velopment of unfavorable symptoms have passed. There were many inquiries yester day as to the condition of Mr. Gregory and as to the capture of the negro, which has not yet been accomplished. The authorities are of the opinion that he has left the city but have by no means abandoned the idea of his ulti mate arrest. It is not improbable i.hat the Sewerage Company and te coun ty will offer a reward for the capture of the desperado. At any rate such a step by either would meet with popular favor. The true name of the negro is Tom Evans and his home is at Sumter, S.C. He is described as being of light ginger-cake color, 5 feet 8 inches in height: young; clean shaven and with large "popped" eyes. He wore when last seen a brown coat and brown soft hat. His faced is stamped with evi dence of the disposition he has proven and be has doubtless committed other crimes. As stated in yesterday's Star Mr. Gregory came from Columbia, 8. C , and has a wife aad three children. Mrs. Gregory was expected to have arrived last night to be with her husband. WILMINGTON OPERA HOUSE.

The Savannah News of yesterday in speaking of the production of "The Burgomaster" io that city says : "The Burgomaster," with Herbert Cawthorn as Peter Stuy vesant was the attraction last night. It was a return engagement and those who witnessed the first performance were delighted with tne second. Uawthora seems to have been the personage around whom the piece was written, it nts mm like a glove, and as long as he can play there will be but one Burgomaster. The work of the company throughout was clever. "The costumes and scenery were elaborate, and the chorus was com posed of pretty girls who danced and sang as well as they looked. " 'Tne Burgomaster is a diversion that has many of the attributes of true comedy and as such will have a longer lifelthan the usual ephemeral stage ex istence of many so called plays.
