The Seashore has en gaged the finest orchestra that was ever on the beach and al! members of it have reported for duty; in fact, the orchestra is the best In this part of the South.

Position of Both Sides Stated Plainly and Hatter Adjasted Satisfactorily to All Concerned End of Unpleasaat lacldenls Other Notes. - The Stab on last Sunday printed the first detailed authentie account of a large organization of the negro la borers of the city and In connection therewith gave a portion of an inter view with the business agent of . the union, Oapt. Edgar Q. Parmele, with the added Information that the organi sation was not looked. upon with favor by the business interests of the city. Opposition to the organization of ne groes numbering In all more than four hundredjnen, rapidly began to crya- talize and a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce on Thursday for consid eration of the subj ect was advertised. At that meeting, as stated' in connec tion with the proceedings, notice was given that the matter was being satis factorily adjusted in another way. The adjustment came at a meeting of representative employers . yes terday morning and the basis of the adjustment was the resignation of Capt. E. Q, Parmele as business agent of the concern and his recommends-. tion for a dismemberment of the union. Among those in attendance upon the meeting were: Jno. F. McNair, W. H. Sprunt, a P. McNair, G. T. Flynn, R. A. Pars- ey, H. W. Malloy, a GL Ohadbourn, W. L. Parsley, W. H. Chadbourn, M. J. Oorbett, J. Allen Taylor, J. A. Arringdale, B. F. Hall, H. G. Small bones, Capt. Thos. D.

H. Northrop, W. G. Elliott, Jr., Jesse Wilder, G. J. Boney, CoL K. M. Murchison, Gabriel Holmes and L. Y. Carroll. Details of the meeting were not given out, but the following state ment was furnished for publication, showing that the manner of settle ment was satisfactory In every re spect: Wilmington, N. O., June 5th, 1903. It having been called to the atten tion of the business public that the re cent organization of a negro . labor union in our midst was producing a bad effect upon the Interests of both employers and employee, a committee from a number or representative citi zens was annointed to concur with the official head of the union, Mr. E. G. Parmele, and to acquaint him with the evil results consequent upon saia organization. The committee had a conference with Mr. Parmele, and pre sented the situation to him in a spirit of frankness and courtesy. Mr. Par mele met the committee with the same spirit and assured them that he had always endeavored to live In accord and harmony with the best Interests of the community, and had not, and would not, knowingly occupy any ojher position, or lend his influence to any project or undertaking which, in the opinion of the business men, was not for for the conservation and ad vancement of the welfare of the city. And that, in consideration of the rep resentations made by the committee, in whose conclusions he concurred, be would willina-lv sever his relations with the said union, and recommend Itsjdissolution. The committee, after a thorough investigation of the mat ters, are satisfied that Mr. rarmeie naa no unworthy motive in his connection with the union, and very gladly ex onerate him from any Improper intent. The committee further bears testimony to the fact that Mr. Parmele's action in severing his relations with the un ion Is at a pecuniary loss to nimseir, and he is to be commended for his course in the matter. Mr. Parmele's note is given herewith: WiLXiuaTON, N. C, June A, 1903. It having been represented to me by a number of my friends that my ac tion in organizing a laborers' union among the negro laborers of this com munity is against tne oest interests oi all concerned, I desire to state pub licly that it was never my intention or purpose to do anything to disturb the friendly relations that have existed for a number of years in this city be tween employers and employes,, and, upon the strength of said representa tion, I very willingly sever my con nection with the said organization ana recommend its dismemberment.

The Sumter correspondent of the Columbia State sends that paper the following In regard to the coroner's investigation into the deaths of those killed in the excursion wreck near Wedgefield, S. C, Wednesday morn ing : The coroner's jury was organized, with George W. Reardon as foreman, and went to the scene of the wreck to take evidence. The negro who tried to flag the train was one of the witnesses and gave a graphic description of his attempts. The jury returned to the city yesterday afternoon and went to Dr. Mood's infirmary, where the wounded were quartered. A number of them were questioned, but the testi mony of Engineer Wilson was the only one of interest He stated that he saw Robertson's signals plainly, but hav ing orders not to stop at any flag sta tion, he ran by Cain Savannah siding, where Robertson was flagging the train. He saw the washout just before his engine reached it and applied his emer gency brakes and then reversed the engine. When the engine went down into the washout he jumped back on the tender and when that fell in and turned up on the end he was thrown forward to the bottom of the hole' by the engine. When questioned why he did not heed the signals he said he was simply obeying orders not to stop for passengers at any flag stations. He said he would have stopped in stantly if the same aignala had been made any where but at aflag station. The jury adjourned to the court house and after a full consideration a verdict was reached that the said J. J. Clemmons, Joe Davis, Frank Ross, Minnie Ross and Ned Western came to their death In a railroad accident on the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, two miles east of Wedgefield, the said ac cident being the result of a washout NOTES FROM ATKINSON, N. 6.

Tourist trains via the Atlantic Coast Line will be operated to Jacksonville next winter over the new short line from Jesup to Folkston. The line'was opened up last year but on account of the newness of the roadbed the fait passenger trains were not brought over it. The management has now decided to make extensive improvements on the Jesup short line by laving the track with 80-peund rail, and using gravel as a ballast for the roadway. The road when finished in seven or eight months, will be one of the finest pieces of railway in the country. By operating the fast tourist trains over this short cut, Instead of via Waycross, the Coast Line will save considerable time in reaching Jackson ville and St. Augustine. The exact amount of time saved will not be ascertained until the schedules are made for the tourist season. The. work on the Jesup Short Line which extends 54 miles, is being . done under the direction of O. R. Knight of the roadway department. The 80 pound rail has been laid for 21 miles, and the work will be pushed rapidly from now on. In addition to ballast ing with gravel, Mr. Knight has de cided on a novel plan to make the roadway solid by planting of willow trees at the foot of all embankments and Bermuda grass on the banks. By this means the banks will be pro tected from washing and--the soil will be held together with the roots of the willow and the grass. The engineers expect to make this piece of roadway one of the finest on any railroad in the country. Masons Want Hither Pay, Brick masons employed by the At lantic Coast Line in Wilmington are reported to have struck for higher wages and shorter hours. They now receive 3.50 per day for nine hours and the demand is for an eight-hour day and $4 wages. Tbe Coast Line, it is understood, has refused the de mand and the masons have quit work.
