MEMORIAL HOSPITAL Formal Opening of the Institu tion Foundedby the Late James Walker. INSPECTED BY THE PUBLIC. The Bnlldlnr Complete In All Its Appoint mentsOne of the Finest In the South Total Cost, Including Equipment, Over $40,000. The James Walker Memorial Hos pital, the great gift of our late es teemed townsman, Mr. James Walker, will be open for occupancy to-mor row. Yesterday its doors were open ed and public inspection invited. During the day several hundred visi tors, a large majority being ladies, in spected the handsome buildine, which is to so greatly benefit the afflicted and rank Wilmington among the foremost cities of the South along this line. The building as heretofore describ ed, is of the'flnest pressed brick, with brown stone trimmings, and is three stories High, exclusive of basement. It is substantially constructed and finely planned, and relative to the lat ter it is not amiss to state that the building is situated at just such an angle as to allow sunshine to each room at some time during the day. The entire portion of the building on the first floor to the right of the main entrance, which fronts the west, is given up to the institution's offi cials and attendants. There you find Dr. S. R. Little's office and sleeping apartment, a cosy parlor, sleeping apartments for Dr. J. M. Hall, the pharmacist, iMiss M. L. Hench, night superintendent, Miss L. M. Heller, matron, and one for the nurses. To the left is an attractive general parlor or reception room and seven rooms. finely appointed, for pay . patients. Ward B. for females, is also to the left on this floor. At the very head of the wide stair way on the second floor is a spacious and handsomely furnished parlor for pay patients. At the northern end of the long corridor is Ward C, also for females, and at the opposite, southern end, is Ward D, for males. Each ward is fully equipped with all con veniences and is neat and attractive in appearance. Upon this floor are thir teen private rooms. The third floor is entirely given up to the operating department. Here is a perfect operating room, lighted by a glass roof, so to speak, and possessing all the most modern and necessary ap pliances. The floor is tiled, while ev ery appointment of the room is either glass, marble or Iron. This room oc cupies the western-central part of the third floor and is adjoined on the south by the anesthelizing and instru ment rooms, each fully equipped, and on the north by the sterilizing room. On this floor is also a recovery room for patients who have undergone a se rious operation and have to be kept near by for from 24 to 48 hours. A large elevator makes the floor accessible for patients, as they can be rolled on cots to the elevator and then carried to the operating room. In the basement is the cuisine depart ment, as well as laundry, helpers' din ning room, pharmacy, emergency op erating room and furnace and cold air department. The latter is in charge of Engineer W. E. Bowser. Of course, each floor has all neces sary toilet and linen rooms and to each room during the summer is transmit ted cool air from a large electric fan in the cold department. The furnish ing throughout is uniform. Each pri vate room has an enamel bed, oak dresser, enamel washstand, chair and table. In the wards there is an enamel bed, a small table aud a chair for each patient. The large lawn in front of the build ing is to be cultivated and made moat attractive for both patients aud visi tors to view. The "moving in" of patients will be commenced to-morrow morning. The old hospital building will be retained for negroes. Death of Dudley Mclihenny. The Stab chronicles with deep re gret the death of Mr. E. D.

Seaboard Air Line Files Supplementary Deed of Indenture of Its drastic Bond Issue at the Court House. The Seaboard Air Line yesterday filed at the office of the register ! of deeds a supplementary deed of inden ture to the one negotiated and record ed about two years ago. The deed is to the Continental Trust Co., of Bal timore, Md., trustees, and covers $75, 000,000 worth of bonds. However, this does not in the least mean that the Seaboard Air Line is either issu ing new bonds or borrowing more money. It is simply an amplifica tion of the original mortgage, to in clude recent acquisitions of the road. This, of course, makes the bonds much stronger. In other words, it brings the mortgage up to date and covers all the Air Line possessions, some of which could not be enumerated In the orig inal mortgage as the road at that time had not completed negotiations for them. It will be remembered that the $75,000,000 worth of bonds were first mortgage, fifty years, 4 per cent, gold bonds. .The supplementary deed enumer ates the additional acquirements as that portion of the line between Rich mond and Ridge way, N. C, the Ro anoke Rapids branch of the same road, the Cibson branch of the Ral eigh and Gaston, the Louisburg branch of the same road, the Gibson and Pittsboro branches, branch lines on the Carolina Central, the Georgia, Carolina and Northern, and other con stituent property of the Seaboard Air Line! This deed of indenture like j the original one is being recorded in every county that the road touches, but un like its-predecessor it escapes the war tax," which was $19,217 last time. Each deed is being personally filed by T. N. Jones, Jr., Esq., from the office of the road's counsel, Judge T. R. Watts, of Portsmouth. Va. I He has now been on his journey, which will embrace visits to ninety odd counties in this and : other States, about two weeks and a half. It will take him from two to three months to make the trip. He came here fro m Laurinburg, and to-morrow will go to Southport, thence to Whiteville. Mr. Jones is an affable young gen tleman and one fully conversant with his duties. SHIPMENT OP STRAWBERRIES.

He Lett No Will His Estate Much Less Than Expected. Close friends of the late James Wil- a V 9 J son have ascertained mat ms estate will not be worth probably more than half the amount indicated by first esti mates. It is now thought that $500,000 to $700,000 will fully cover its value. Mr. Wilson left no will and his prop ierty will all go to his surviving rela tives in the proportion of one-third to his sister, Mrs. Napier, of Brooklyn, N. Y., one-third to his niece, Mrs. McLeish, of Washington, D. C, and one-sixth each to his two nephews. Messrs. Duff and Conger, of New York city. Delightful Beach Party.

In the game here this afternoon Wilmington left the field in the last half of the seventh inning and forfeited to Dur ham. Score, nine to nothing. Un to that stage it was a clean game, with many brilliant plays. Neither side had j scored. Wilmington took her seventh inning and retired without any Chance at the home plate. Dur ham; came up, and Stockdale reached first on a clean hit, stole second. Cur ran followed and reached first on error, the first baseman failing to touch the bag. and Umpire Proud called him safe. This caused the trouble that resulted in Wilmington leaving the field. j Manager Bear was before the mayor this morning, charged with assaulting Umpire Proud last evening. j He was fined $25 and costs. Mr. Bear went to the room of Mr. Proud last night, accompanied by several players, and attempted to assault him. He was ar rested and a bond of $50 given. Seven Innings and No Runs. Wilmington Forfeited Game. Durham comes to Wilmington for three games next Thursday. - Wilmington will begin a series of three consolation srames at Char lotte to-morrow. - The latter part of that eighteen- inninggameat Charlotte must have been played by torchlight. The report that McGinnia had been appointed chaplain of the Wil mington team lacks confirmation. Newborn is trying her best to overtake Wilmington. But what we need is an undertaker, not an over taker. There waa no ping-pong in the seven innings played by the Wilming ton boys at Durham vesterdav. i It was real basebalL It is said at Durham that the "best people" of that town "support Proud." Well, yea ; you see, it wasn't the Durham Bulls that were sored. Proud is undoubtedly the most thoroughly decomposed umpire who ever stood on the North Carolina dia mond. Chloride of lime wouldn't save him. That was a great game at Char lotte. Eighteen innings were played and the result was': Charlotte. I 1: Raleigh, 0. This made it three straight for the Hornets. I The Hon. George Dudley Proud (Blessed Tony, what a name !) will soon end his brilliant career in the State League. Charlotte. Wilming ton and Greensboro have entered pro- teats, and this is more than enough to humble Proud's pride. HOTEL THIEF ARRESTED.

An interesting game of baseball was played Friday afternoon between the Market Street Giants and C. FJ A. in which the Giants won in a score of 8 to S.
