"jc'd were numerous re- i - . porw oi wrecxs on the Seaboard Air Line in connection with the arrival of tne circus trains. The truth of all the. reports is that Sunday morning as the restibuled tram came to Rockingham from Htm- iei it ran into an open switch and struck a freight entrlne and one car, lMs engine in turn struck another engine which had a number of freight cars behind it, and badly damaged It Auo ougius oi, tne vesuDuie was aamagM beyond repair while the others in the collision were likewise smashed up. Herbert Holland, of Sanford, flag man on the extra freight and formerly of this city, was killed, and Charley Cramp, a colored brakeman on the same train, was dangerously hurt Them two1 men were asleep in their cab. Jim Roberson, engineer on the vestibule, was also badly hurt, and it is not thought either he or the negro will live. The fireman on the vesti bule saw what was going to happen and climbed out of the window, while the engine went down a space of 25 feet on a fill. No passenger on the vestibule was seriously hurt, but sev eral were bruised and badly shaken up. The two last sections of Fore paugh & Sells Bros.' circus were held up on a siding at Lilesville until 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon and they did not reach Wilmington until well in the morning of circus day. There was another wreck the after noon previous at Wadesboro. A through freight for Monroe was pass ing that point at a speed of about 15 miles an hour. The wooden cross bar over tbe truck of one car broke loose and after running 200 yards or more the car was ditched, the next car ran by and was considerably ploughed into by the up-turned bottom of the ditched car. Another car was derailed and turned over. No one was hurt LOCAL DOTS. Have you registered? Cotton receipts yesterday, 4,586 bales; same day last year 3,488. Messrs. J. S. & W. A.

SPARK FROM AN ENGINE. Thoorht to Have Stsrted Blaze in Com press Ice Factory, Cotton and Other Buildings Went Up In Smoke. Covered by Insurance. Hamlet, N. C, one hundred miles from Wilmington on the Seaboard Air Line, was visited by a destructive fire Sunday at noon. The railroad com press at that point leased by O. E. Johnson, of Raleigh, together with the ice plant, one of the largest in the SUte, 2,400 bales of cotton and a vast quantity of burlaps and bagging, went up in smoke, causing a property loss of $200,000. J. M. Wilson, of Clarks ville, Ga., bookkeeper at the com press, and a nephew of the lessee. Mr. Johnson, lost his life. The railroad authorities succeeded in saving the car-shed, a short distance away, with engines and a bucket bri gade, and many cars on the side tracks near the press were saved, but six emp ty cars alongside the press platform were burned. When the fire started, from a cause not yet definitely determined, the watchman was on duty in the middle of the building and says he threw on buckets of water,placed close by and all around the building for safety, while Mr. Wilson, the book keeper attached a hose and played on the fire, but so rapidly did the flames spread that the watchman cried: "We can do noth ing; run for your life." The fire was coming on so fast that the watchman ran through the office and jumped through a raised window. but Wilson was caught in the flames and burned beyond recognition. His body was found In the afternoon about 5 o'clock within a few. feet of a rear entrance to the building. His head, limbs and shoulders had been con sumed and only a charred mass re mained. He was identified by his watcb, keys and his belt buckle. He had only been in Hamlet this season and was very popular over the State, being from one of the leading fami lies. The compress covers five acres of land and in season did a large busi ness. It furnished employment to about 75 people. Raxxigh, N. C, Oct 20. Chas. E. Johnson, lessee of the Seaboard Air Line cotton compress at Hamlet and director of the S. A. L. Company, re turned to day from Hamlet He went to investigate the fire and on account of the horrible burning of his nephew, Jco. M. Wilson. Mr. Johnson says all the property damage ty fire was well covered by insurance. He thinks the old compress here in Raleigh, now out of use, will be moved to Hamlet The loss by the fire is estimated at $190,000. The general opinion seems to be that the fire started from a spark out of the engine of a wreck train, which passed a few minutes before tbe fire was discovered. The engine bad been recently changed to a wood bur ner. QRAHAME-000DWIN COMEDY CO. "In Indiana," the Opening Bill, Weil Pre sented at the Academy Last Night. To use a hackneyed phrase the cir cus "cut no Ice" with the Academy last night Regardless of the "big show" as opposition, a large audience greeted the inaugural performance of the Grahame-Goodwin Comedy Com pany and spent a delightful evening. The play presented was the beautiful drama, "In Indiana," and it was given a splendid production. Each of . the cast portrayed his or her role well and won the approval of the audience. Tbe specialties introduced between acts were exceedingly good and are one of the strong cards of the company. The vaudeville numbers furnished by Baby Edna were the features of the evening. Tbe engagement of the company, which is the first popular-priced one of the season, is for tbe remainder of the week. To-night the well known and roaring comedy, "A Thoroughbred," will be presented, with an entire change of specialties. Popular prices, 10, 20 and 30 cents, will prevail and seats can now be reserved at Plum- mer's ACCIDENT AT SHOW GROUNDS. Pennsylvania Man Employed by Clrcns Crushed by Cage Wagon-At Hospital. Dave Davis, about middle age, a native of Pennsylvania and one of the assistants about Forepaugh and Sells Brothers' shows, was run over by one of the mounted cages which was being driven from the tent to tbe train last night about 10:30 o'clock, and he received injuries from which is believed he will not recover. Soon after the accident he was taken in the police patrol to the hospital, here he is receiving careful atten tion. His right lung is rupturea, one more ribs are broken and his left side badly bruised by the wheel under its several tons of weight Had the ground been bard upon which the man was run over, the life wouldjhave been crushed out of him almost in stantly. Early this morning he was resting 1 4.1A. easy. He was conscious wnen ia.ou to the hospital, and sent for uatner Dennen to minlater to his spiritual needs. Lost Her Jib Boom. afc TT E. Thompson, which Sundaf. when three days out from Boston encountered a heavy 41 northeaster which parted ner marua. gale, causing the loss of her jib Doom, WILMINGTON N. C, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, DAY WITHOUT PICKPOCKETS. No Operations Here, Thanks to Diligence of the Authorities An Arrest Which May Prove Lucky. Profiting by the experience of sun dry Charlotte citizens, who lost amounts ranging from $13 to $50 at the deft hands of light-fingered gentry, who drifted in with the circus in that city Saturday, Wilmingtonians figur atively and literally "had their hands on their pocket-books" yesterday, and the last information was that their solicitude for their wallets stood them in good stead. Chief of Police Furlong and his men, and Chief Detective Green, also had their eyes wide open, and the street railway management early in the day placarded prominent places with "Look out for Pickpockets." Although by this diligence Wil mington people lost nothing, Chief Furlong and Sergeant George Smith jugged" a strange and well dressed negro, who is probably responsible for some of the work done in other cities. He was pointed out by a show man and was arrested as he was elbowing out of the tent after the after noon performance. The showman said he was hanging around in Char lotte and perhaps in other places and when locked up at the police station he gave his name as Ed. Green. On his person were two or three pocket- books, containing in the aggregate $56.20, and half a dozen or more Ex press receipts for money forwarded with striking regularity from several points to Emma Green and Ida Kent at Savannah, Ga. The last was from Charlotte for $50 on Saturday. He gave no account of himself. The Charlotte police appear to be non-communicative on'.the subject of pickpock ets and it is doubtful if a caseill be made out against the negro. Chief Furlong thought, however, he wa a good man to be kept locked up while the crowds were on the streets and on the circus grounds. It was fortunate Wilmington es caped. The showmen appeared to be as eager to catch the men out for the long green" as the police themselves. They countenance no such. PAVED SIDEWALKS WANTED. Chamber of Commerce Has Well Directed Effort to That End Meeting Yegter day Carnival Tobacco Booth. At a special meeting of the Execu tive Committee of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday at noon, Messrs. R. A Parsley (chairman), J. Van B. Moita and Geo. R. French were ap pointed as a committee to confer with the Board of Aldermen and ascertain what can be done toward an improve ment of the ' sidewalks of the city by putting down concrete. President Chadbourn, who was in the chair, stated that he had been requested by a number of property owners to have the Chamber consider the matter. The Executive Committee discussed the question at some length and during the progress of the discussion it was brought out that the cities of Colum bia and Orangeburg, S. C. have paved many of their walks at the municipal expense and that while Wilmington's city government has heretofore assist ed in brick paving, it has refused as sistance in the way of cement work. The committee appointed yesterday will take the matter up with the Al dermen at their earliest convenience. Among the other business transacted yesterday was the appointment of Messrs. H. W. Malloy (chairman), G. O. Gaylord and W. E. Worth, a cona mittee to make necessary arrange ments for a tobacco booth during the Pythian Carnival. Messrs. O. W. Yates & Co., in Class B., and Mr. W. M. Gumming, in Class U., were elected to membership in the Chamber. Those present at the special meeting were President Chadbourn, Secretary Kyle, Messrs. a P. McNair L. B. Rogers and G. J. Boney. Novel Carnival Advertisement. Mr. T. H. Thompson, salesman for North Carolina for thf Eagle Paper Co., of Richmond, Vs., has gotten out a novel advertisement for the Pythian Carnival. An attractive notice of the event is printed on several thousand of his famous raw hide paper bags and in his travels he is scattering them to the four corners of the earth. He has also donated a number of them for the Carnival country store. It is hard to get ahead of Henry Thompson and the raw hide paper bags and twine. Real Estate Transfers.

War ren for $1,300, house and lot at south east corner of Sixth and Nun streets, 66x105 feet in size, and Elisha D. War ren and wife transferred to Mrs. Em ma H.

Thousands Were Pleased With tbe Enter talnment and Anxiously Awaited the Trains Sunday-Probably 15,000 People Visited tbe Orounds. Well, the circus has come and gone, With all its joys and sorrows; all its gladness and disappointment, it came, saw and conquered. It wasn't the "greatest show on earth," according to the veteran enthusiasts, but then it was enough; everybody bad a good time, and there was no kick coming when the dusty pilgrim to Hilton turned bis face homeward after having feasted his eyes for an hour and a half on the glint and tinsel, which all goes to make up the well regulated, twentieth century American circus. The man with the red lemonade, the pop corn and last, but not least, the spieler with the come-on voice, who told you that the concert tickets after the 1 'big" show are only ten-a-piece they were all there, and it was much the same circus day that Wilmington has known for ten years. Of couse there were features, and the greatest of these was Diavalo, who "looped the loop." It proved to be tbe greatest individual circus act ever seen under canvas in Wilmiog ton exactly what the management claims for it In private life Diavalo is Mr. R. B. Vandervoort a native of Corpus Christ?, Texas, and a modest, unassuming, pleasant young man he is. He learned to do his act at Coney Island, and has been at it for eight months at the fair salary of $1,000 a week. He talks intelligently, and doesn't appear as the ordinary circus performer. "To say that I have no sense of fear when performing the feat," Diavolo said in answer to a question, "would not be trup. The stoutest heart that ever beat will quake, I believe, when taking this ride. My rate of speed at the highest point is sixty miles an hour, and when the conversion of force takes place just at the top of the loop, when the law of gravity seems to pull me down and the momentum hurlme forward, all sensation leaves the brain and momentarily I know nothing, But for all the rest of the trip I am perfectly myself and could see a pin on the side of the loop." When asked if he always followed the broad iron band in the inside of the loop, Diavolo said: "I usually do, but if there are those among the spectators skeptical of my ability to guide the wheel I will sometimes leave the band and take another track." "How did the idea come to me to make the ride t I had worked at Coney Island and the Pan-American Exposition on the loop the loop car. I supplied power for the car and was usually in it when it went around and in this way the sensation of making the loop disappeared entirely. I was as much at home when making it as when walking the ground. The notion came to. me," he continued, "that I could make a bicycle do what the car did, although I had never ridden pro fessionally. I proved that I could do it and got backing to build this loop. Then this show heard about it and en gaged me." The Aurora Zouaves were a feature also one of the very best of the show. Their work was magnificent The toopers moved as if eaeh man was part of a great mass of well regulated ma chinery. Next to Diavolo, the Zouaves proved easily tbe favorites. The horseback riding, the acrobatic feats, the trick bicyclists, the trapeze work, the Roman hippodrome and all the other stunts were well up to the standard. The tents of the show are the largest in the world certainly larger than those of any circus that has yet come south. The seating capacity of the main tent is 10,000, though, as, for in stance at Birmingham, 12.000 people have been crowded into it. The faculty of the help to handle crowds was well illustrated yesterday and it is stated that all resources were not even then brought into play. There were about 8,000 people under the tent for the afternoon performance and the three rings and platform kept them rubber-neckin' to see all that was go ing on. The circus came into the city from Charlotte after a series of delays, moving in four sections, the first of which arrived at 7 :30 o'clock. Anoth er came at 9:30 and the last two were far into the night m reaching the grounds. However, work was 1egun at once and everything was in readiness when the manager called for the parade to .ove between 12 and 1 o'clock. The hour appointed was 10 A. M. and long before that hour the streets were congested with peo ple from every quarter. They all clamored for points of . vantage and looked on eagerly when the great pageant moved down Front to Market street; up Market to Third and out Third to Red Cross, to Fourth and then to the grounds. There were va rious comments on the parade; some were disappointed ; some were not, but all thought enough of it to head for Hilton as soon as word was passed around that the doors were open. The street cars were overrun and carriages, hack and wagonettes were chartered at a moment's notice. The street rail way people pressed into service two of the long auburban cars, but even with this supplement there were some who had to walk. . It was just Impos- ; TAR, 1902. sible to take ten thousand people for the long haul in a single day Some idea as to the size of the crowds at the show may be gathered from the number of people who were trans ported to and from the grounds by the street railway company. The figures were over ten thousand, and that, of course, does not include hundreds who walked to the grounds or went by pri vate conveyance. Nine thousand is the highest figure for a single circus day's work, before yesterday, in the history of the street railway system. It is a sad commentary, generally speaking, upon Wilmington's idea of Sunday observance and a violence to the blue laws of many cities Char lotte, for instance but day before yes terday 8,700 fares were collected by the street railway from persons who went out to the grounds for no other purpose than to see the "animals un loaded." But in this they were sadly disappointed, for the first section of the circus train did not reach here until nightfall, and then it was several hours before any move was made toward stretching canvas. At 9:30 o'clock Sunday night there were still 1,500 to 2,000 people there waiting developments, To amuse the crowd in the afternoon there were several "scraps" between colored persons and a boxing bout for which a circus ticket was.the "purse. All these little "pastimes," . however, were promptly put an end to by the authorities. From Wilmington the show goes to Florence, then to Sumter, back to Savannah and through Florida. From Florida it goes to Louisiana, and will probably clos9 in New Orleans, jump ing from that point to Columbus, Ohio, where it will go intoSWinter quarter?. It has been on the road since April 5ib, when it opened the season in Madisou Square Garden. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Mr. Hall G. Whitney ia very sick at home with continued fever.
