CONTRACT IS AWARDED FOR SOUTHPORT RAILWAY. Special from Wilmington, Del, Says a Firm There His Sigied Papers and Will Begin In Two Weeks. The Southport Standard of yester day reprints the following special to the Baltimore American of Tues day : ' "Wilmington. Del.. Mav 12. The Southport Construction Company, of which Alvin B. Morrison of this city is president and William S. Hilles is secretary, has received a contract for the construction of a railroad from Wilmington to Southport, N. C, a distance of 30 miles, with immense coal and freight niers at Southnort. The contract Drice is ftL.450.000. The Lincoln Savings and Trust Com pany, of Philadelphia, is trustee un der the mortage, and has the money in hand for the work. Construction will begin in two weeks. ' The new line will be for the Cane Fear Terminal Railroad Company. "The Cape Fear Terminal Railroad Company owns a number of rights of way through Town Creek town ship over the formerly projected line between Wilmington and South port" It is kaoa here that a deed of trust has been in course of preparation securing the proposed bond issue for the new railroad and coal pier. The -amount of it is said to be $800,000, and that a survey of the line not only in- eludes the connection between mington and Southport, but also a line of railway from the latter point via Shallotte, Brunswick county. White -yille and Clarkton, the idea being to develop trucking through that section.

Virions Opinions As to Its Profits Twentyfive Thousand Crates Wed nesday-Vegetables Now doing Forward Fine Variety. This week will see the passing of the strawberry as a commercial factor throughout this section of the State. The prices, although a little stimula ted yesterday, have now about reach ed the point where it is no longer pro fitable to ship them and truckers are beginning to turn their attention to other crops, which are more in de mand. Norfolk berries have appear ed on the Northern markets and the result has been to bring quotations al most uniformly 8 to 10 cents. Although the shipment of strawber ries is about over, the farmers are busy sending away to distant markets other products, such as cabbage, new pota toes, beans and cucumbers, etc., the prices for which in the main are very satisfactory. Opinions vary as to the success of the berry season this year. In some sections there is a complaint of a short crop, while in others the yield was satisfactory, but the drop to ordinary prices came too soon. Some press com ments in view of the closa of the sea son are as follows: White ville Press: The strawberry shipments will end the last part of this week for the season. This year's pro duct has netted handsome returns for the growers and many berries from the Chad bourn district have been handled an average from 15 to 20 cars daily. Charleston News and Courier: The shipment of strawberries is rapidly drawing to a close and those in posi tion to speak with knowledge declare that the season has been a most satis factory and profitable one, in view of existing conditions and what the grow ers had to contend with several weeks ago.. 1 Burgaw Chronicle: The berry sea son in this section may now be said to be practically over. A few small ihipments will be made after this time. but on account of the extremely low prices quite a number of our most prominent truckers have already ceased to market their berries, and are now devoting their attention to their other cropij The berry crop in this' section is short by about one-third, only 10.700 crates having been shipped from this point prior to this time, against 15,000 crates last year. On the whole, the results of the strawberry crop in this section are not as satisfactory as usual. The crop this year is short, the prices comparatively low, and the berry growers, in a great many in stances, have suffered severe loss on account of the poor transportation fa cilities afforded by the express com panies. The shortage in the crop is due to the combination produced by the strawberry weevil and a dry season. Berry Movement Wednesday i The daily report of Mr. EL T. Bau- man, business agent, of the E. O. Truck and Fruit Growers' Association, shows distribution of Wednesday's shipments of berries through South Rocky Mount as follows: Points of Refrigerator Destination. Cars. ByExpress , Crates.

Chief James H. Cowan will prepare the lay-out. Accident to Capt. Richardson. Many friends in Wilmington will read with regret the following from the Columbus Press, published at Whiteville, yesterday : ,A very pain ful if not fatal accident happened to Capt V. V. Richardson at his home last Saturday morning. Since his last indisposition about two months ago he has been very weak, having to be assisted to move about but Saturday morning, becoming impatient, he at tempted to step along the floor,-nd fell, breaking the bone of his thigh that enters the hip. Drs. Jackson and Maxwell have been attending him since. It is hardly probable that he will completely recover." Bonrhta Block of Property. ) By deed of date June, 1901, Joseph T. Foy and wife, of Pender county, transferred to Wilbur Mclntyre, of New York, for $1 and other valuable considerations, all of block 57 aecord- ! ing to the official plan of the city, ex cept so much of the property as was transferred by A. H. VonBokkelen to the Clarendon Iron Works March 5th, 1 1855. The block is on the river front, west of Barry and between Queen -and Wooster streets. GRAND LODGE MEETING ( CLOSED AT GREENSBORO.

The contingent of Wilmington ians who attended the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, in session this week at Greensboro, are returning home en thusiastic over the meeting. Reports from the Grand Secretary and the various officers were read, all going to show unexampled prosperity during the year, the membership being largely increased. The ques tion ot fixing a place for the next meeting was settled in favor of Wil mington upon an invitation extended through Grand Treasurer R. J. Jones. Goldsboro lodge had made a like In vitation but withdrew from the eon test, as it was apparent that Wilming ton had the lead, and the selection of the City by the Sea was made unani mous. The Van Lindley Nursery Com pany sent the Grand Lodge during the sessions two magnificent bouquets of roses and carnations. Mr. Perrin Busbee, of Raleigh, pres ident of the North Carolina Baseball League, was one of ' the prominent delegates to the Grand Lodge.

C, May 15 Durham and Wilmington crossed bats to-day, there being about four hundred people on the grounds. Dunn was in the box for Wilmington and Morris for Dur ham. The game was exciting, though Durham with its strong arm qualifica tion realized several good hits off the south-paw. It was no shoddy game. but it seemed that Wilmington went into the air and Durham won by a small margin. Manager Bear was put out of the grounds for interfering and he protested the game several times. Several of the Wilmington players were fined. No doubt Proud has umpired his last.

The figure 1 has a cinch on the Wilmington percentage. It looks like there was crooked work done at Durham yesterday. The Star's Durham special Inti mates that Proud has umpired his last game in this League. Brown did not play. His arm was partially disabled In the last game here by a pitched ball. The Hon. "George Dudley Proud" doesn't seem to be making a very enviable reputation as an umpire. It is evident that Wilmington plaved at a great disadvantage. Two of their regular men were not in the game. Mr. Umpire trroud must be a dandy. Let Wilmington and Greens boro promptly protest him out of the League. The Wilmington Bears met the Durham Bulls yesterday and the re sult was a still further decline in Wilmington stock. Neither : Boucher nor Handibou appeared in the game. The Star sug gested yesterday that they would not reach Durham until to day. Umpire Suing Paper For Damage. Umpire Proud, with whom Kelly had trouble at Raleigh this week, and who is umpiring the Wilmington games at Durham, has employed a Raleigh attorney to enter suit for libel against the Daily Record, of Greens boro. ' The "hot-shot" article upon which Proud bases his suit is as follows: "The Record wants to say that the people of Greensboro are aa fair aa any people on earth. Had the same thing occurred here and in our favor the public would not have stood it. The umpire might have been allowed to have his way at the time, but the score would not have stood. We want to say further that should Mr. Proud pursue his same tactics here we would advise him to get an accident policy. He may not be killed while the game is going on, but some one will maul the life out of him afterwards. Many spectators who have observed his .work they : are not Greensboro people say that his conduct is such as to lead to the belief that he is standing in with a lot of sports who are dividing their earnings with him. That la to say, that there are men who make bets, tell Proud what they are and trust him to save them, when they divide with him. . If this or anvthine approaching it la true, the sooner- his services are dispensed with the better." Mr. J. M. Penny, of Orrnm, I N. C was here yesterday. personal paragraphs. Mr. W.I.

The details of the contract by which the Atlantic Coast Line Railway Com pany is to absorb the Plant system of railways shows that the combined company is to be known as the Atlan tic Coast Line Railroad Company.
