Pedestal -Preseatstloa.
As a token of their appreciation of
earnest and able work in their behalf
the officers of the United States Reve
nue Cutter Service yesterday present
ed fo congressman John D. Bellamy,
of this district, a magnificent loving
cup. It was shipped from New York
city, with an enclosed card containing
the names of a special committee,
Captain John W. .Collins and Captain
O. F. Bhoemaker. The latter officer
is well remembered here.
The cup is of sterling silver and is
gold lined. It is mounted on a hand
some highly polished black walnut
pedestal and alone it is ten inohes high ;
mounted on the pedestal It reaches
about 15 inches in height It has
three beautifully chased handles.
Upon one side of the cup appears Con
gressman Bellamys Initials prettily en
graved, and on another appears the
following appropriate inscription: '
"Presented to Hon. John D. Bel
lamy. Member of Onnrrnn from North
Carolina, By the Officers of the United
States Revenue Cutter Service a.
81ifht Token of Friendahin and
of their Admiration of His Able and
Disinterested Efforts in their Behalf.1'
The efforts referred to were in con
nection with a bill passed by the present
Congress for the benefit of the officers
of the United 8tates Revenue Cutter
service. The bill had been pending
for several years and its final passage
caused great rejoicing among the offi
cers Interested. The. estimate placed
upon Congressman Bellamy's effort in
behalf of the bill is shown in the h.nd-
some manner in which he has been
remembered.
Congressman .Bellamy strongly ad.
v oca ted the bill and was instrumental
in bringing It to a successful issue.
The bill greatly benefits the
cutter service in many ways.
Under the bill there is a retirement
age and longevity pay, something that
did not exist before. Now, the officers
are retired at the age of 64, when be
fore they had to grow almost decrepid
in the service and even then merely be
placed on waiting orders. The lon
gevity play Is also another important
factor, as at the expiration of every
Ave years of service the officers get
additional pay. Also, under the bill
the officers now possess a relative
rank. These are only three features
of the many which the bill contains
and each of which acts directly to the
benefit of the officers of the cuiter
service.
COAST LINE'S CLERKS.

REPORT ON CAPE FEAR
RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
The Work la Hssd Ostllned by an Army
Esriseer asd What Is Proposed to
be Done la tbe F.fnre
Yesterday morning's Raleigh Post
contains the following very interest
ing report from its special Washing
ton correspondent:
The chief of engineers of the War
Department made public to-day a
number of reports from officers in
charge of river and harbor projects,
Sith estimates for the fiscal year 1904.
eports on a number of the river and
harbor plans in North Carolina are
submitted by Captain E. W. VanO.
Lucas. The Improvements of the
Cape Fear, both below and above
Wilmington, are included.
This report, which is very volumi
nous, contains a wide range of in
formation. The manner in which the
appropriations made by Congress are
to be expended is a feature. The
amount of commerce for the past year
that was developed by the streams un
dergoing improvement, the recom
mendations for future appropriations
and the ultimate cost of all Improve
ments are dwelt upon in this report.
There was no work of improvement
on the Cape Fear river above Wil
mington last year because of - lack of
funds. All expenditures were for
maintenance. The report of the engi
neer says:
"With the available balance ' it is
proposed to maintain the natural chan
nel up to Fayetteville, to do the pre
liminary work necessary for determin
ing lock and dam sites under the cana
lization project for obtainine eieht feet
depth to Fayetteville, and to purchase
sites for locks and dams when loca
tions are determined. Additional appro
priations are recommended of $8,000
annually for tbe maintenance of the
? resent channel to Fayetteville, and of
400,000 for the construction of the
first lock and dam. It is not believed
advisable to begin the construction of
a lock and dam until funds are availa
ble for its completion under one con
tract."
Tbe ultimate cost of this project is
$1,300,000. The amount appropriated
to date is $198,250.
The commerce on the river for the
year ending December 31st, 1901, was
134,113 tons, a decrease of 5,510 tons.
Passengers numbered 3,305.
No work of improvement was done
on the Cape Fear below Wilmington
last year for lack or funds. Upe rations
were restricted to maintenance work
with the suction dredge Cape Fear,
which removed 87,745 cubic yards of
sand in August and July. Then the
dredge went to Savannah where it
now is. Tbe engineers report says:
"With the available balance it is
proposed: first, to connect the old
Wood berry jetty with the beach at
Baldhead to protect against further
erosion : second, to re-dredge the river
channel where shoaling has occurred;
third, to repair the swash defence and
New Inlet dams and Snow Marsh
dyke; fourth, to remove the obstruc
tions from the mouth of Brunswick
river :and fifth, if funds permit, to con
struct mooring dolphins at Wilming
ton. Should anw balance remain, 1; will
be applied to the work of continuing
the improvement under the pro-,
ject of October, 1890, to obtain twenty
reet depth and 27U ieet wiatn irom
Wilmington to the ocean, about sixty
Der cent of which hss been done. But
it Is believed the available balance will
hardly suffice to do the necessary work
of restoration above outlined, and no
further progress with the project is
expected until further appropriations
are made. Additional appropriations
are recommended of $250,000 for con
tinuing the improvement of $50,000
for maintenance. The amount esti
mated for the completion of the lower
Cape Fear project is $835,000; the
amount already expended on this im
provement is $3,176,000.
Wilmington's total commerce last
year was 727,859 tons; a gain of 28,
003 tons over the previous year. No
new transportation lines were estab
lished: exports were: foreign and
coastwise, 60,461 tons; and internal,
100,448; imports were: foreign and
coastwise, 304,981; and internal, 161,
469 tons.
North Carolina s principal port ex-
norted nroducts to the amount of $9,-
687,064, of which cotton figured to the
extent of 223,926 bales, valued at $9,
871,000. The other exports were rosin,
lumber, turpentine, etc., but were of
small value as compared with the ex
ports of cotton. The imports were
kalnit, salt, potash, pyrites ana mo
lasses. Their total value was $284,463.
Wilmington's growth as a port has
been steady and consistent. In 1869
the freight transported was 220,000
tons; in 1889 it waa 825,512 tons; in
1894 it was 437,423 tons; ln 1897 it
was 595,426; In 1899 it was 621,852, and
in 1901 it was 7Z7,3&v tons.
CARRIED BACK TO KINSTON.
Chief of Police Jss. H. Roose Came After
His Man Yesterday.
Chief of Police James H. Rouse, of
Einston, arrived in the city yesterday
morning and left in the afternoon with
the old white man, J. W. Hoy t, arrested
by the police here Wednesday after
noon at the wired request of the Ein
ston authorities.
Chief Rouse says that the charge
upon which Hoyt is arrested is for ob
taining $10 from a citizen of Kinston
under false pretence, although he
is also wanted for swindling one of the
hotels.
The old man seems resigned to his
fate, but his manner creates an abun
dance of pity.
Charre Withdrsws.
Chief of Police Furlong will very
likely return from Knoxville without

authority, that the charge of embes

gence will be learned with pleasure by

represented, and Duplin and Lenoir
not represented.:
Aside from the election of an execu
tive committee, the chair announced
that the only business would be the
nomination of a solicitor.
B. G. Empie, Esq., of New Hanover,
placed Rodolph, Duffy, Esq., in nomi
nation, and in doing so ably eulogized
the man and the lawyer. He spoke of
Mr. Duffy's fearless and earnest work
as solicitor; that he had known him
since 1884, and that he knew him to
admire him more as the years past. He
characterized him as an able repre
sentative of Democracy and an able
exponent of the law, and, in closing,
said that New Hanover county stood
united as a man in favor of the renomi-
nation.
W. J. Bellamy, Esq., of New Han
over, seconded the nomination In a few
handsome remarks.
Frank Thompson, Esq., of Onslow, al
so seconded the nomination and spoke
of Mr. Duffy's zealous and courageous
work as solicitor. As a native of the

fully referred to the time, four years
ago, when New Hanoyer county had
helped Onslow to nominate Mr. Duffy
for the first time. '

was declared,- by tbe convention nomi
nated by acclamation. -
Mr. Duffy was called upon for a
speech, and the chair appointed Bruce
Williams, Esq., of Pender, and B. G
Empie, Esq., of New Hanover to es
cort him to the platform.
Mr. Daffy, who is a fluent speaker,
spoke for about fifteen minutes. First,
he expressed his great appreciation for
the kinds words of his friends and for
the nomination, and then went on to
recall the time, four years ago, when
the white people of North Carolina
made such a grand and glorious fight
for liberty and State. He implored
the members of the convention not to
get careless n their support of Demo
cracy or take things for granted, but
to stand as a unit to stand together
to work I together, to vote together.
Every candidate, he said, should sub
ordinate himself to the party and
remember that no man can ever get
above the people. In conclusion he
called to mind the great suffering
New Hanover county had endured
under negro rule, and said that no
community had ever acted more
nobly.

suing term was elected, as follows:
B. G. Empie, New Hanover; Frank
Thompson, Onslow; H. E. Faison,

Bof as Check Giver Captured I. Vlri iala
and Will be Sent Back to Char
lotte for Trial.
Our bogus check giver has at last
about run his reckless and swindling
course, as the following clipping from
yesterday's Charlotte Observer will
show:
"O. W. Pritchard, the young man
whn HuriilAMtd In Charlotte from Jack-
nn Mian laat Rttturdav. end who.
through his claim to relationship with
Senator Pritchard and the aid oi a
forged bank book, succeeded in dis
tributing a number of worthless
o.hn.lr ahnut Dharlotte. is in limbo.
He was captured yesterday in- Char
lottesville, va. iniring we suiernoou
the chief of police of that town tele
graphed to a bank here to know if
'PrfbhMl,a eeenunt was COOd. A - re
ply was at once sent that it was very
bad. Then another telegram came to
Chief of Police Irwin stating that
Pritchard had been arrested there for
passing worthless checks and asking
if he was wanted in Charlotte. A
consultation of some of Pritchard's
Charlotte friends was held and a tele
om waa Mat to OharlottesviUe offi
cials to lock him up, pending the nec
essary proceedings 10 , nave mm
brought to Charlotte. It is supposed
that h BttemntflH tn nliv the aame
game in Charlottesville that he did
here but that it was blocked by the
prompt use of the telegraph between
the bank there and the bank here.
Rtrts wHl he Inatitnted without delay
to have Pritchard brought to Char-

Atlantic City of the Sooth.
Under the caption "The Atlantic
City of tbe South," the Charlotte Ob
server is kind enough to say: '
"Charlotte people are considerably
interested in the report that Atlanta
parties are to buUd a big new hotel on
Wrightsville Beach. That there Is
room there for another big hotel is
evident from the fact that several
families who wanted to go there this
-week have been informed that no ac
commodations can be given until after
July 28tb, as the big hotel there has all
it can accommodate. In fact, it has
been crowded to its capacity ever since
the season opened. Wrightsville
Beach is the Atlantic City of the
South, and with the completion of the
electric road, new and bigger hotels,
it wUl divert the tide of Southern sea
coast travel from the North to
Wrightsville."
