Underwriting Syndicate Com pleted in Baltimore for De r velopm5tof Fields. DENIAL FROM THB SEABOARD PresMetl WCStas Says His Read Has NotBlag to Da "Wltfc the Scheme. May Mesa Mack far WOauf- j 3 toaasd Soathpert. j - The following press telegram from Baltimore will be read with much' Interest here: . ; "Baltimore, March 19. The un derwriting syndicate for the coal and railroad deal of the Union Trust Com pany was to-day completed and the amount largely over subscribed. This syndicate is for $3,800,000. It secures large tracts of coal lands upwards of 100.000 acres in southwest Virginia, and will build the Virginia & South western and Ohio Biver & Charleston Railroads. "These lines will form a short route from the coal fields of Wise county to Lincolnton, N. : O. From the latter place they will run over the Seaboard Air Line to Southporl, N. O , where large coal piers and docks will be built to handle the coal and other business. "It is likely that an extension north ward to the Ohio rirer may also be built, but the present underwriting does not include such a line. Presi dent Blackistone of the Union Trust Oompany has been working on this deal for several months. New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore capitalists are interested." Regarding the recent publication in the Richmond Times in regard to the impression made upon the Virginia Senate Committee on Roads by an attorney for the Norfolk and Western to the effect that the Seaboard Air Line is probably back of anew road on its own account for the develop ment of the coal fields of Buchanan, Dickenson and Wise counties and the ultimate extension of a direct line to Wilmington tor " Southport, Presi dent Johtt: BkeIton Williams day before.' yesterday gave to the same paper an: -interview in which he de nies his road's connection with the matter. President Williams says: "If the attorney is quoted correctly in the morning papers, the statements which ho made in regard to the Sea board Air Line Railway are not ac cording with the facts in the case, and ?i remarkably incorrect. The sta ement which he is reported have made that the Gladesville Railway charter was probably backed by the Seaboard Air Line is without foundation, and the farther statement that th- Seaboard has recently purch- ied the Virginia and Souinweaiern tk&TBailroad is equally incorrect. rne oeaooara Air iiine xtaitway has been frequently urged to extend its lines into the coal fields of South west Virginia, in order to develop prop erties which are no w lying dormant and yield neither the State nor their own ers any revenaeand if we should at any time determine upon such a poli cy, the selfish arguments advanced by the ! gentlemen referred to are not likely to have any weight with the legislators who have at heart the beat interests of the Commonwealth and are anxious to see her resources de veloped " -BURIAL IN HIS MOTHER LAND.

The body of Dean Lee, one of Wil mington's colony of Celestials who died at the age of 45 years here on March 2nd, 1899, was exhumed yester day by Undertaker W. K.

THB CONSOLIDATION SCHEME It Met With Favor iy the Maaifera aad Will be Submitted to Gesersl Meet isg la April Qaotatloss Spirits of Tarpeatlse. Os The plan of consolidation for the commercial bodies of : the city, as adopted Wednesday afternoon by the Chamber of Commerce, was submit ted to the Board of Managers of the Produce Exchange at a special meet ing at 4 P. M. yesterday and was re-j ceived with great favor. The plan was unanimously endorsed and the president was requested to submit the same lathe annual meeting of the en tire Exchange on the second Tuesday in April for its consideration and action. i Another very important matter be fore the Board of Managers yester day was consideration of the report of a special committee in regard to the establishment of a freight bureau to be maintained in connection with the Exchange. Tne committee consisted of President' P. Pearsali. Mr. J. A. Taylor, Mr. L. B. Rogers and Mr. G. J. Boney and its report was likewise adopted and referred to the annual meeting in April for final considera tion and action. . The report is as follows: Committee Report Freight Boreas, : It has been apparent for some time that the Exchange was wanttne in some features to make it more valuable to the business communitv. Undoubt edly it is bey tnd our financial ability to equip an Exchange in an ideal man ner; nevertheless, we are of the opin ion that some features can be added with our present resources which will make the Exchange more valuable. and while insuring the integrity of the present membership, hold out induce ments to otners to become members. Every one recosmizes the vital influ ence of freight rates on the welfare of a business community. Indeed.freight rates can either make or unmake a commercial centre. Changes in rates are constantly going on either 1o the detriment or the betterment of a com munity. These chsnsres are made more frequently silent and unobserved an radical and sensible. Anv radical change will at once, arrest the attention of the pub lic while minor changea will often pass unnoticed. Again, changes can be made in reclassification, which to the average merchant is unintelligible and as a general rule escape notice al- togetner. intelligent application or the . situation and the force of nubile opinion are the most esential means ror saie-guarding trams conditions. The protest of an individual ia often made liarbt of as the ebullition of a fault-finding spirit, but concert of ac tion supported by a strong public sen timent commands respect and insures results. It follows, from the foregoing, that to incorporate a freight bureau feature would be a very wise and valuable ad dition to the machinery of the Ex change, and will in our opinion be the means of gaining new members and doing a work for the community wbose importance can scarcely be measured. It is as of much impor tance that freight rates should be known and every change noted as it is to furnish the intelligence of market quotations. The most powerful weap on against freight rate discrimination s intimate acquaintance with traffic conditions on tne part of the public, and with a bureau equipped as sug gested there would be no excuse for ignorance of actual tramo conditions on the part of any member of the Ex change. We tblnk it feasible to add to the present duties of the secretary that of conducting such a department, and recommend that this be done. For the additional service the secretary would no doubt ba entitled to some addition al consideration. It is es sential that the bureau be thoroughly equipped, and the work so systematixtd tuat every change in rates would be at nnce noted, and every member of the exchange, put in possession or the fact The details will have to be worked out by the governing board, but the machinery will be very simple, and the additional cost very small. Respect- fully submitted. Spirits Torpeatiae Qaotatloss. About the . only other question which came to the attention of the Board was in regard to the difference in quotations for spirits of turpentine in machine-made casks and country casks. For a long time the rule was that a difference in favor of the supe rior package .should be only half a cent, but lately that rule has been dis regarded and spirits in country casks has been selling uniformly one cent lower than when contained in the machine-made barrel. The secretary was instructed yesterday to notify dealers in spirits that at the regular meeting of the Board of Managers in April the matter of difference in quo tations would be acted upon, applica tion having been made to the body, for a ruling on the same. All mem bers interested are requestedjo be in attendance upon the Board meeting at that time in order that a fall and intelligent discussion may be bad. Mr. S. J. Spritxer to Wed.

One the Pennsylvania buy the property. report was that Railroad would This met a prompt denial from an of ficial souroe. Another was that the Atlantic Coast Line of Connecticut would secure con trol of the Plant System, but this was regarded as impracticable under the strong anti-consolidation la ws of Flori da and Georgia.

Gay lord proprietor, was an exceedingly popular establishment with the ladies yesterday and hue dreds of them thronged the place from early morning until late in the evening. xne occasion or tne rush was the an nual Easter opening of dry goods and millinery at that popular emporium, and it is safe to say that no more splen did success hss attended an Opening this season in any store than was man ifest at the store of Mr. Gaylord yes- terday. I From garret to cellar the immense building wore a gala attire and the magnificent display was a work of art Clever salesmen and salesladies had transformed the place into a veritable beauty-land, the decorations having been especially fine. Each department received the skilled attention of its manager and the goods were there to speak for themselves. - The millinery department in charge of Miss Alma Brown and a corps of twelve ex pet lanced assistants, is . pf course, attracting the most widespread attention and really excels all others in the manner of its decoration and the beauty and variety of styles shown Miss Brown and Mr. Gaylord recently spent nearly a month in the Northern markets and their discriminating and superior taste in selection is especially noticeable. The stock is the largest ever brought by Mr. Gaylord to Wil mington and there is no reason why the most fastidious or the most hum ble purchaser may not find "just the Tory thing" wanted. " - f f There are a number of new and very pretty styles this season and Miss Brown's stock includes them all. There's no reason to designate by names, numbers or fancies they.are all there and suited to the tastes of the many. - The dress goods department display Is notable among the others i and everything new is included.
