HEAVY FROST THIS MORNIfiO.
Weather Bureau Issued Wsrnlnz to Tbst
Effect Early Yesterdsy Steps to
Protect Trackers from Loss.
Following the rather severe south
west storm which swept along the
coast late Friday night came a deluge
of rain yesterday morning about 5:30
o'clock, . which gave place very soon
thereafter to clear skies and a rapidly
falling temperature. In fact, Farmer
Felger, of the Weather Bureau, hadn't
arrived at hia office and looked over
the situation very well before he aaw
sighs of an approaching heavy frost
that early risers this morning will
likely find about their premises on
schedule time.
Now a frost at this time of the sea
son in a community blessed wttn a
large area of trucking like Wilming
ton, is a serious matter. The present
cold snap will likely result in thou
sands of dollars of loss to growers in
this vicinity, bnt the fault does not lie
at the door of the Weather Bureau,
for Observer Felger and Assistant Ob
server Gray did all in their power yes
terday to circumvent the injury. - -
A Warning Message of "Fair and
Colder To-nighi; Heavy Frost; Bun
day Fair; Brisk Northwest Winda De
creasing To-night,? was issued early
in the day and all truckers that could
be reached by telephone were Inform
ed what they might expect and were ad
vised to take every precaution against
the cold. The railroads also -did a
great serrlce to truckers on their lines
by telegraphing to the various stations,
not accessible to the Weather Bureau.
By those methods it is believed that
truckers were enabled to take such
measures for the protection of their
crops as will reuuee tneir losaea to a
a mininenm.
At any rate it will be several days
to determine what damage, if any, has
been done to the crops. The Weather
Bureau and the railroads certainly r id
their part.
The wind which kept up until early
laat night would have made the frost
impossible and many hoped that it
would do ao, but it didn't. The
Weather Bureau seemed to have the
matter pretty well sized up when it
said the wind would gradually de
crease. THB SCHOONER JNO. H. BUTTOCK.
Captain Spragae and Mr. C. 0. Maffitt
Back from the Wreck.
Mr. C. D. Maffitt and Capt. Charles
W. Sprague returned yesterday after
noon from a trip along the coast in
search of the body of OapL Sprague's
brother, First Mate E. H. 8prague,who
was drowned laat Monday morning in
the wreck of the schooner Jno. H.
Buttrick off Frying Pan. They found
no trace of the man and Capt Sprague
hopes to leave for home the first part
of this week. Mrs. Sprague who waa
with her husband in the wreck, was
not so well yesterday and that forbade
their leaving on the New York steamer
as was expected.
Capt. Sprague and Mr. Msffltt char"
tered a sharpie at Southport Friday
and went out to the wreck of Capt
Sprague's ill-fated veasel. The only
thing they found above water was
the main and mizzen masts and
the deck load of lumber. The
wreckage ia constantly washing
away and much lumber in strewn
along the coast. Mr. Maffitt is of the
opinion that a part of the lumber la
from another vesael than the Buttrick.
Oae piece picked up on Bald Head
bears the following mark "3,920-95,"
and is 3x6 inches in size and about SO
feet long. Three notches were cut at
one end with a knife. Mr. Maffitt
say a the wreck ia dangerous to naviga
tion in that it is liable to mislead ves
sels and he would advise that the
government take steps to remove it.
Friday night Capt Sprague and Mr.
Maffitt rode the gale out in the ahar
pie inside Corn Cake Inlet. Mr. Maf
fitt says the storm waa very severe.'
The wind reached a velocity of about
45 miles an hour.

for 15 years at the latter place and
came to Wilmington in 1889. During
his 40 years service with the
company, Mr. Oroswell rose to be one

ued offcials of the system. His' em
ployes were especially attached to
him and from every important point
in his jurisdiction there came yester
day messages of condolence. The , At
lantic Division embraces all of the At
