1 HE . MORNING oTAR.
AN INSURANCE WAR.
Southeastern Tariff Association
is Making it Hot for the
Greensboro Companies.
THE TACTICS EMPLOYED.
Home CoacernB Defiant and the Screws
Are Pat Down on the lasnred
Threatened Withdrawal of Pro
tection on Heavy Risks. .
There is widespread interest over the
State in the relentless warfare being
waged just now by the Southeastern
Tariff Association against the Greens
boro fire insurance companies, which
several months ago refused to make
the 25 per cent, advance in rate on
certain risks, that were scheduled at
the time.
Nearly all the insurance ageneies iu
this city represent the Greensboro
companies, and a short time ago a
committee from the Association vis
ited Wilmington with the, result that
a written agreement to write no more
insurance at the Greensboro rates was
exacted of their representatives here,
who also handled business for compa
nies in the Association. A similar
agrement was secured from agents in
other North Carolina cities and last
week the Association committee
bearded the lion in his den," so to
speak, and tackled Greensboro, with
what result is best told in the follow
ing special to the News and Observer:
Gekknsboro, N. C, July J26. Dur
ngthe last two days there has been an
mportant conference held here be
tween representatives of -the South
eastern Tariff Association and the
officers of the Greensboro Fire Insur
ance Companies. Tremendous pres
sure has been brought to bear upon
the Greensboro companies to induce
them to allow their Greensboro agents
to cnarge me zs per cent, in advance
in rates. After most careful consider
ation the Greensboro companies have
decided to maintain steadfastly their
position and not charge the 25 per
cent, advance. As a result of this de
cision a war upon the business of the
Greensboro companies has been inau
gurated in Greensboro. It goes with
out saying that the people of Greens
boro will stand by their own compan-
es.
One sensational feature of the fight
is that the largest insurers in Greens
boro have been notified this morning
by representatives of outside compa
nies that unless the Greensboro com
panies charge the 25 per cent, ad
vance, all their insurance will be can-
called within five days, and that these
large insurers will be lelt witnout
protection. The manifest purpose of
this is to induce the property holders
themselves to insist that the Greens
boro companies shall charge the ad
vance, but it is not believed that the
people of Greensboro will submit to
any such humiliation.
It is believed in Greensboro that the
people will stand by the home compa
nies and there is said to be talk of ask-
ng the city authorities to establish a
day and night fire patrol for business
blocks in the event of the association
companies carrying out their threats
to leave the concerns with only the
imited protection that can be given by
the home companies.
THE GREENSBORO ELOPERS.
Arrived in New York and Ssy They Are
Qoio( to Europe.
A special from New York says: '
Whnn th a Old TViminlon itsimir
Jefferson from Norfolk came to her
pier at the loot or ueacn street tms at
tarnoon. a voanc man dressed in the
height of fashion rushed down the
gang plank, and was immediately
seized by a crowd of attorneys and ac
quaintances. Following him closely
was a woman, probably 40 years old,
hysterical from excitement.
The young man was J. urnest tiara
no 25 Tsan old. of Greensboro. N.
n . and th a. woman waa Mrs. J. W.
Stafford, wife of a Greensboro man.
Among those who met naming was
Attorney Campbell, of the firm of
Campbell & King, who had been re

have the young man return to his

J. W. Hoyt, the alleged swindler,
who was taken from Wilmington to
Kinston a few days ago and held for
the higher court In the sum of $100,
sued out a writ of habeas corpus
thmtiffh his counsel and the Judge of
the Superior Court promptly granted
the same. In a letter to a representa
tive of the Stab Mr. Hoyt says he waa
released "upon a concise and clear
opinion whioh stated there was 'no
case." Mr. Hoyt wrote on his way
tn Richmond. Va.. and said in a few
hours he would be "where policemen

Differences Between Municipal Boards
Strips City of Police Patrol Wafon
Service A White Elephant.
The "Black Maria." otherwise
known as the patrol wagon, which
transports "drunks and downs" to the
station house, is no longer in comis-
sion and will not be for some time un-
less the Board of Audit and Finance
relents. Now the alert policeman
will have either to dumn the "downs"
in a vacant lot and leave Dame Nature
to sober up the victims or else toil
with the offender In hand alone the
sidewalk to the City Hall.
The "Black Maria" has been a nro-
Ufic source of trouble between the
two co-ordinate boards of the city for
some time. In the first place the
Board of Audit and Finance refused
payment for the vehicle on the
grounds of irregularities in the nur-
chase and a suit with eminent counsel
on three sides is now in the courts to
enforce payment. In the next place
the Board of Audit ahd Finance serv
ed notice on the Aldermen that no
more bills for repairs to the "Maria"
would be allowed. As a retaliatory
measure the Aldermen then adopted
an ordinance that the fees arisinr
from the use of the vehicle be kent
distinct and applied to a fund for the
maintenance of the same. The ordi
nance having a financial featnre. of
course had to go before the "board of
last resort" and it was promptly turn
ed down.
The "Maria" broke down a few days
ago and as there is no money for re
pair, she remains in the Citv Hall
yard, as much a white elephant on the
citj'a hands as the big road roller
"Hercules," which she now has for a
side partner.
A trash cart was Dressed into the
service Saturday night for a while but
the "Maria" with its clanging bell
and a stream of small boys running
behind is a "long felt want" unsup-
plied.

New Secretsry of the Y. M. C. A. Highly
Esteemed In Charleston, His Home.
Mr. Charles Dushan, physical direc
tor of the Charleston Y. M. O. A., has
returned home after a visit to Wil
mington where he will locate as sec
retary of the local Association in Sep
tember. Beferring to his intended
departure from that city the Charles
ton Post says:
The Wilmington call is a good one
and Mr. Duanan'a many friends are
glad that he received it. They all re
gret his departure from the local asso
ciation. He proved one of the best
physical directors that the association
nas bad and tbe manner in wnlcb be
has for several months discharged the
duties of secretary has been especially
to his credit. His personal qualities
strongly commend him, aside from his
professional standing, and his depart
ure from Charleston is a distinct loss
to Charleston and Wilmington asso
ciation has reason to be well pleased
with the selection that it has made.
Mr. Dushan had offers as physcal
director from the aasociations at Dal
las, Texas and Covington, Ky., and
he waa in correspondence with the
associations at Bichmond, Va., and
Battle Creek, Mich. He preferred the
offer of the Wilmington association,
and his Charleston friends are glad of
it, as this selection will keep him
nearer to them and allow for an occa
sional visit.

Local Union No. 899, Carpenters
and Joiners of America, are arranging

on the 7th and accompany the party.
Local Union 899 will meet in the
future in the MacBae building on
Front street until its new hall in the
Murchison National Bank building is
ready for occupancy.
Repalrlnx the Streets.
A force of hands was put to work
yesterday by Superintendent Woolard
in repairing the macadam streets in
the various sections of the city an
improvement that was needed badly
from the fact that the negotiations for
a lease of tbe rock quarry were some
what extended. The Merchants' As
sociation has been called to meet this
afternoon to urge the repair. A part
of the street force is also at work
placing the stone curbing for the im-
nrovement of Bed Cross street, which
will be commenced as soon as the
Castle street extension is finished.

TUESDAY, JULY 29,
L. & N. NOT FOR SALE
Denial in New York of Rumors
as to the Absorption by the
Atlantic Coast Line.
AT MORGAN HEADQUARTERS.
No SoKestion As to Important Traffic
Arrangements That Are Believed to
Be Possible News In Rich
mond and Baltimore.
Interest in the rumors persistent in
Baltimore that the Atlantic Coast
Line is about to absorb the Louisville
and Nashville railroad is hardly less
intense than in the wild speculation
indulged in a few weeks prior to the
authoritative announcement of the
taking-over of the Plant System by the
A. O. L.
From Coast Line sources thus far
there has been no denial or confirma
tion of the rumors but from the Morgan
interests in New York, there came last
night an authoritative announcement
that the Louisville and Nashville was
not for sale. The advices, however,
do not deny or suggest the possibility
of important traffic arrangements
which might be almost equiva
lent, so far as a control of the situa
tion is concerned, to an actual merger.
Most friendly relations exist between
the Coast Line and the Morgan inter
est", which manage the Southern rail
way, and both systems have been
working in complete harmony. The
establishment of the important traffic
arrangements referred to is therefore
believed to be not out of the question.
When the Coast Line absorbed the
Plant system it gave the Southern
valuable trackage privileges. The
purchase and division of the Cape Fear
and Yadkin Valley railroad by the
Coast Line and Southern and Messrs.
Morgan & Co.'s acquisition of the
Charleston and Western Carolina rail
road and its subsequent delivery to
the Coast' Line are good evidence of
this cordial feeling.
In Richmond and Baltimore.
Richmond, Va., July 27. The re
port that the Atlantic Coast Line is
negotiating for the absorption of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad has
aroused the deepest interest in certain
quarters here by reason of the fact that
many have purchased largely of the
common stock, having apparently re
ceived information that the deal was
going up. Some months ago the com
mon stock was below par, and tnose
who purchased then will reap a rlcn
harvest, for the stock has steadily
gone upward and apparently the high
est 'point has not yet been reached.
Atlantic Coast Line common quota
tions closed to-day at 175.
Baltemobk, Md.. July 27. It is im
possible to obtain an authoritative ex
pression of opinion concerning the ru
mor that negotiations are pending
looking to tbe absorption by tbe At
lantic Coast Line of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, which is controlled
by J. Pieroont Morgan & Co. The
report that the Coast Line Company
will eet the Louisville and JNasbvUie
has been freely discussed in financial
circles here, and the general impres
sion prevails that it is well rounded.
DEATH OP A Q00D WOMAN.
Mrs. John W. Creasy Passed Away Early
Yesterday Morning.
Many friends will regret exceeding
ly to hear of the death of Mrs. Clara
Creasy, wife of Mr. John W. Creasy,
a popular young business man of Wil
mington and a son of the lamented
D. W. 8. Creasy, which occurred yes
terday morning at 7:45 o'clock at the
family residence in this city, No. 306
North Seventh street.
Mrs. Creasy had been in very poor
health for a year or more and her
death was not wholly unexpected,
though hope was entertained for her
recovery a short time ago. She was a
woman much admired in her circle
of acquaintances and lived a life of
tender devotion to her family. She
was a consecrated member of Grace
M. E. church.
Before marriage she was Miss Clara
Gaston, of Charlotte. She married
eight years ago and as a result of the
union there survive three interesting
little children, the youngest being a
mere infant. She is also survived, by
a grief-stricken husband and her moth
er, who resides in Charlotte, to which
city the remains will be sent on the
305 P. M. train to-day for interment.
Changes In Vlrjlnia Office.
Mr. Edsrar Child, formerly assistant
superintendent of the Virginia Life
Insurance Co., in this city, has been

city. Mr. Child has been succeeded in
the Wilmington office by J. T. Bass
formerly superintendent at Greens
boro. Mr. Bass has already arrived in
the city and he will be joined later by his
family, which is now visiting in Bich
mond. Mr. N. E. Bradford is the
capabable superintendent of the Vir
ginia office, having lately been trans
ferred here from Baleigh.

each is loud in his praise of the hos
