After a long and animated debate in the Sen ate to-day, the Ward bill, amending the Watts' act to "prohibit distilleries in towns of less than 1,000 Inhabl tants, passed second reading by a vote of 25 to 16. 8enator Scalei attempted to have It placed upon tbe third read lag, but his motion failed and the measure went over until , ta-mor.ro wt when there will be more speaking on the question. . " ' ; Wnen the bill came up, Senator- Fleming, of Pitt, addretsed the Sen ate in favor of his substitute, leaving out his restrictions as to the size of thff town, arguing that the Ward bill was a violation of party principles; that it djd not afford police protection and that it was a fraud upon the tem perance people of the Btate. j Senator Ward, of Craven, cham pioned his bill in a spirited reply to Mr. Fleming, explaining the features, and declared that the measure was ap proved by State Chairman and Sena' tor Simmons. Senator McLean, of. Scotland, sup ported the Ward bill. -. Senator Mason, of Northampton, made one of the most Impassioned orations, rallying the forces under the standard of "Education and Temper ance," which was the best heard in the Senate this session., Senator Stubbs, of Martin, also spoke, asking how far the Legislature proposed to go in these restrictive measures this confiscation of in vestments made under the sanction of the State. - Senator Emple, of New Hanover, opposed the bill, which he character- sa-BU uvs mm fa vvasaw vi m wituuiuue bill, but as tbe bill of Josiah William tJallry, a man who was not a demo crat. He asserted that the measure was the equivalent of stealing. He con sldered tbe bill a violation . of the Democratic platform. Senator Gilliam, of Edgecombe, elosed the debate with a plea against the confiscation of private property and money Invested with the sanction and approval and on the plighted faith of the Bute. Many Senators spoke when tbe qaestlon was called. on the amendment to atrlke 1 out the limit of distilleries to towns ; of over 1.000. It was voted down as was the amendment, eklsig the population requirement 600. , The bill was then amended to go into effect January 1st, 1906. and passed its second reed- Tbe largest number of bills of any dsy this session were introduced in both nouses to-day.

The; forecasts will come directly from Washington to all important! centres la the belt and the Association" is ar ranging for an agent at each of those points to display the predictions and warnings and to get them ' try tele phone to other sections of the country.

Without those features, characteristic of alj other fastivals of tbe kind,it was readily seen that the bszaar j would not be a pajmg venture ? and, therefore, it was , recommended that the affair be called . off and the money for fu' niching jtbe hall be raised from tbe membership 'direct.

After heroic efforts to save him by his engineer, Sverre , Roe, a Nor we- gisn, Mr. William B. Ellis, 34 years- old, of Freehold, N. J., was drowned from a gasolene launch, about ; one mile south of Topsail Inlet, and half t mile out at sea, Thursday, afternoon shortly after i o'clock. The remains were brought to Wilmington yeiteri day and will be snt to his home in New.Jersy this eTenine for inter Mr. Elfs was a man of ' means and intelligence and came down the coast sst Fall In a small yacht, seeking a ocatlpn for conducting certsin exper ments in agriculture and fruit grow ng. He located on Topsail Sound and was soon joined by- his mother, with whom he had made his home at the residence of Mrs. C M. Nixon for the past four months, f Thursday af ternoon, with his engineer, he started from Topsail to Wilmington in his 20 foot gasolene . launch. They had proceeded only a short distance be yond the breakers, around a promon tory, when the engine broke down and the launch was left help- ess upon a rough set, the weather being Intensely cold. Both men abandoned the launch and took to a small skiff, which the larger boat J carried, but the wind was blowing a gale and very soon tbe smaller craft was capsized and the two men were precipitated into the almost freezing water. Each realized the perilous po sition they were in and the Norwegian, a man of powerful phjalque and al most unlimited endurance, finally volunteered to swim ashore for assis ance, a distance of nearly a v mile, ad monishing bis : employer to cling tightly to the over turned boat until he could get back to him. The engi neer swam to the beach, but upon reaching there he was almost exhaust ed and by intuition,! lay down on the sand and rolled over and over to get his blood In circulation lest he should reeza.? Wth no thought" of himself and with an eye single only to the safety of his comrade out there cling ing to tbe boat, the Norwegian next plunged into the j sound there and started to swim across to the mainland where he knew there were some fish eraeiiwlio eratd-to asststaaasv However, before he got across tho channel, he stumbled on to a reef and from the shore sbouted to the fishermen Toey heard his cries of distress, came over to the reef and heard the brave man's broken story after which he fell over unconscious. Tho fishermen put out to" the beach as qulekly as possible and saw the overturned skiff, which had washed ashore, and thought they recognized the form of the man some distance out, but later when they went to the small boat and turn ed it over, the body of the drowned man was under It. The Norwegian, who had so bravely face d death him self, to save his employer was given every possible attention and will probably recover, r . Mr. Ellis' b3dy was carried back to the residence of Mrs. Nixon, where the mother heard ) the news of the tragedy and almost collapsed. ' A spe cial messenger was at once dispatched to Wilmington' for Undertaker Jas. F. Woolvin, who received the order to go to Topsail at 4 A. M. and left on a freight at 7:15 A. M. over the New bern road, returning to the city with the remains at 12:15 P. . M.. on the passenger train. The body was taken to his undertaking rooms oa Third street and embalmed for shipment to.New Jersey, upon the arrival of a brother of the 'deceased to day. The mother of the unfortunate young man will also come over from Topsail to-day and accompany tbe re mains North. ; : : I ' ' . Mr. Ellis was held la the highest es teem by the people of Topsail with whom be was generous and compan ionable. He was a man of intelligence, but of very ' reserved manner.
