One has only to take a run down the Seacoast road nowadays to see that the fond dream of manv Wilming ton people is about to be realized the connection of the eity and beach by an up-to-date trolley system. A double row of poles from Ninth and Princess street to a point about a mile beyond Masonboro crossing, ex tends down the track and a large force of linemen.under Mr. Ike King.is push ing the work toward the beach as fast as possible. Extra trains at night are rushing poles and new cross ties along the right of way, 20 cars of the first named and 15 of ties having alreadv been sent out Last Saturday alone Superintendent of Construction J. P. Jones loaded in six hours a special train of nine cars, dispatched it and unloaded the cars the following morn ing. Mr. Jones has general direction of the outside work and is doing great work toward getting the line in shape by July 15th. He has had ex perience in Buffalo, Baltimore, Yonkers and other Northern cities and the public may rely on an up-to-date job. On the left hand aide going to the beach are the high, double cross- armed poles that are to carry the three- phase 10,000 volt alternating current rhiQh will next Summer run the 200 K. W. rotary "converter at Wrights ville sub-station. This in turn feeds direct current to jthe rails and trolley Wires at a pressure of 550 volts. For this season, however, a storage battery located in the old depot at Wrights ville will give the pressure and be charged in turn by the trolley wire and heavy feeders, which are carried on the shorter poles with the single cross-arms, located bn the south side of the track. Between the poles will be carried the span wires from which the trolley wire is suspended, which fur nishes current to the cars. In addition lo the pole setting a large force is also at work under Messrs. J. T. Dodley and J. C. Long retimbering and regauging the track from its junction with the A. C. L. This work is now completed about half a mile beyond Delgado. Three thousand new ties will be put inland the gauge drawn in to 4 ft 8 1-2 in. to correspond with the guage of the city street railway system. The most tedious work now going on is the "bonding" or making the electrical connection between the the rails. In order to complete this work by ih time everything, else is finished tv drilling machines are employed night and-day. At the Orange street power station preparations are being made to install a 200 K. W. railway generator to assist the two dynamos now in use, and Chief Eairineer W. W. Thigpen ex pects to be "right there with the roods" when word comes to turn on the current for the beach cars. For the city street railway system most of the open cars are now being overhauled at the Orange street station. New trucks are being put in by competent machinists, and spick and span new electric head lights are being placed on the cars. Chief Con ductor Sheehan Is already puttin' on airs over the improvements, and the public may look for something refresh ing in the new cars. LOCAL DOTS.

C, to the Raleigh Post says: Washington. June 6. The resolu tions adopted at the citizens1 meeting in Fayetteville, which extended thanks to various persons for securing the ap propriation for the Upper Cape Fear, were read with a good deal of interest here. The fact that the name of Con gressman Bellamy was omitted occa sioned much more comment than did the resolutions, for he has been the unceasing friend of this appropria tion. One member of the delegation said: "Though Senator James K. Jones, of Arkansas, comes in for an expression of thanks, those who have followed the (Jape Fear appropriation for months are unable to understand what part he took in this movement He has been out in Arkansas most of the time, engaged in a futile attempt at re election." As soon as Mr. Burton of Ohio, chairman of the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors, was informed of the contents of the resolutions he decided to make a statement about the matter. Mr. Burton said: "In more than a score of instances I have been asked to write a letter or give out an interview relating to the amount of interest shown by members and others in some river and harbor improvement, and I have been asked to express an opinion as to who is en titled to credit for what legislation was obtained. In almost evety in stance I have refused to write a letter or give an interview; but these reso lutions are so grossly unjust to Sena tor rritchard and Mr. Bellamy that it is only fair for me to speak. These are the two persons, the one in the Senate, the other in the House, who were constant and untiring in advo cating the improvement of the Upper Uape Fear river, and to them especial ly credit is due. Senator Pntchard laughingly remark ed after reading the resolutions. 'There is only one suggestion that I could make and that is an amendment thank ing the balance of the world and man kind generally. speaking seriously, senator Pntch ard said: 'I do not care about the matter One way or another, but I was greatly sur prised that Congressman Bellamy's name was not mentioned in the resolu tion. He rendered me more valuable service in my efforts to secure the adoption of my amendment for the Upper Cape Fear improvement than the remainder of the delegation com bined."

Crack Team Defeated in Fast dame With the Coast Line Shops. The High School Champions and Atlantic Coast Line shop team played a fast ball game at Hilton yesterday afternoon, in which Capt Mclntyre's boys were taken into camp to the tune of four to nothing. The proceds, which go to the uniform fund for the League team, amounted to $5.20. The playing of the shop team was featured by the pitching of Williams and the catching and batting of "Fritz" Zellers. He caught the High School delivery for a two and a three base hit and played behind the bat like a Troian. The work of Thomas at second was also good .

The loss of three straight games at Greensboro need not be accepted as an indication of similar results this week. Beginning to-morrow, nine con secutive games will be played here.

All indications point to a great crowd at Hilton to-morrow to witness the first game of the week between the new Giants and the Raloigh Turtles Bear in mind that the charge for admission of the rare and radiant has been reduced to 15 cents. There should be flocks of the beauties in the grand stand to-morrow. The "unexplained" triple play by Fisher in Thursday's game was in this wise: Holland, right field, to Dom mel, -first base, to O'Neil, second base, to Fisher, catcher. It was not unas sisted.

Aged Citizen Met Tragic Death Yesterday Morning at Point Caswell, N. C. MR. JOSEPH H. McLAURIN. Perished in Flames of His Own Home. Remains Brought to Wilmington and Will Be Interred in Oakdale Cemetery This Morning. Through the medium of a private telegram from Capt R. P. Paddison to relatives in the city, news of the tragic death of Mr. Joseph H. Mc Laurin reached many friends in Wil mington yesterday. He was burned to death in his home at Point Caswell, N. C, where he lived alone, early yesterday morning and the charred remains were taken from the ruins of the building a few hours later. Occurring so early in the morning, the origin of the fire is unknown and just the manner in which the deceased came to his death is entirely theo retlcal. The remains were brought to the city on the A. -Y. train last night at 7:30 o'clock and will be laid to rest after funeral services by Dr. A. D. McClure and ur. J. M. Wells from the lodge in Oakdale cemetery this morning at 9:30 o'clock. Mr. John D. Beatty, a nephew of the deceased, and Mr. Luke Glisson, a life-long friend, accompanied the re mains to Wilmington. Joseph H. McLaurin was born in Fayetteville, N. C. in 1822 and was therefore in the 80th year of his age. He removed to Wilmington when a very young man and resided here until about 10 years ago, when seeking relaxation from a very active life. he removed to Point Caswell and be gan farming. For a greater portion of his life he was at different times cashier and teller in the various banks of Wilmington which have existed since the war. He was a descendant of the sturdy Scotch settlers of the Cape Fear and his father was a native of Edinburgh, Scotland. Mr. Mc Laurin's circle of friends was limited by his own preference to few, but those who knew him best found in him an agreeable companion and a safe coun sellor. He was a devoted student all his life and a deep thinker. He some times contributed to the public prints under the nom du plume "Quercus", and was brilliant with the pen as well as an entertaining conversationalist. He leaves to mourn their loss, a brother, Mr. John McLauria, for 20 years editor of the North Carolina Presbyterian; a sister, Mrs. M. Cronly, of Wilmington, a son and four daughters: Mr. Loch. McLaurin, Mrs. Jas. H. Taylor, Miss Kate B. Mc Laurin, of Wilmington; Mrs. Walter Coney, of Savannah, Ga., and Mrs. Hayes Beatty, of Beatty's Bridge, North Carolina. One of the theories regarding Mr. McLaurin's death is that while up very early in the morning as was his cus ton, he was seized with heart trouble and fell oyer in bed with a lamp which was found by his side and which was seen moving about in the house by a small boy half an hour before the community was startled to see the whole building in flames. The re mains were not beyond recognizance when found and the body waa dressed Further particulars are given in the following correspondence of the Star from Point Caswell. Point Caswell. N. C, June 7. This morning about 4:30 o'clock the home of Mr. Jos. a. McLiaunn was discovered to be on fire. Citizens soon collected, but as the house was com pletely enveloped in names nothing could be done but protect outside property. Mr. McLaurin has lived all alone since he has been here and was a great reader. Frequently he would lie In bed ana rail asleep witn nis lamn on a bdx at his bedside. The im pression is that this was the case last night and that the lamp exploded or the bedclothes caught on fire. Death must have ensued very quickly as no one heard an outcry. After (the fire had sufficiently subsided the charred remains were careiuny taxen ny friends, under the direction of his nenhew. and placed in a neat recepta cle, and taken to wummgion to oe placed in a casket for burial to morrow. The whole community is greatly shocked at the terrible tragedy. Mr. McLaurin had many warm friends here who took a great interest in him, The Week End Rates Effective.
