repair shops and will afford ample
facilities for maintaining in first-class

Division of the- system. The company
at! present has small shops at Way-

Charged with the serious crime of
arson, IT. W. McGirt, white lately of
Conway, S. C, but for several months
a resident of Wilmington where he
has worked at odd jobs, was lodged
in jail yesterday by Deputy. Sheriff Cox
ind Constable W. B. Savage." : McGirt
is charged with setting fire to a small
one-story frame' building owned by
Mrs A. C. Wessell and occupied by
Ella Henry colored, bri Second street,
next to southwest corner of Second
and Market. 1
The (place 'was discovered on
Are
at 2:40 o'clock, and the department
responded to an alarm from. box 22;
When the firemen reached, the scene,
flames were shooting put of : the 'ton.,
arid had soon eoriimunicated to att ad
joining building, formerly occupied as
blacksmith shop and also belonging
o Mrsl WesselL : The damage to the
building was - about $200 - while the I
colored woman .' tost all her effects, j
in the room in which the fire originated-
. " "
L Inquiry as to the cause of .the fire
elicited the information that McGirt
had been seen a short while before
to have pushed open the door of -the
Henry j woman's house and gone in.
Other facts of a sufficient nature were
also obtained to justify Assistant Chief
W. P. Monroe in going to justlc .Fow
ler's office and swearing out a warrant
for the arrest of - McGirt. He was
found in short time at the. residence
of Mrs) Judge, on Front, between Dock
and Orange streets, where he boarded.
He appeared to be very drunk to the
officers, who had to take him almost
bodily jto jail. A very; short time be
fore he was reasonably sober and for
that reason the officers believe that
much of the drunkness was feigned.
Ella! Henry, who was away from
home at the time, said there had been
no fire on the premises for two days
and she was at a loss to know how
the place could have accidentally
caught W. H. McNeill, a colored
tailor, i who "., has a shop across the
streets, said he saw McGirt come up to
the. door and try to open.it Finding
it locked, he hesitated a moment and
then kicked it - open. The colored
man said he had a clear view through
and through the house from his shop
and there was no sign of fire on the in
side at that time. Presently McGirt
came out, stopped a minute on tne
sidewalk and went in the house a sec
ond lime. When he came out . he
pulled! the door to and started on down
Second toward Dock street He had
hardly gone as far as the corner be
fore the flames broke out 'A !
It is said, that McGirt had claimed
that the TIenry. woman had taken 15
from him,, but he was apparently too
drunk to talk when arrested.
The: preliminary trial of McGirt will
take place in Justice Fowler's court
at -in a M ttvdav. The witnesses
summoned for the State are Capt W.
P. Monroe, Deputy Sheriff W. H. Cox,
Mr. Joe Sandlin. John Bush. W. H.
Jones, A. O. Lyons, Edward High-

The department responded to
another alarm of fire at 11:58 A. M.
yesterday. It was from box 47 and
was on account of a blaze on the roof
of & two-story dwelling, owned and oc
cupied by Maria; Bonitz, colored. No.

to burn his store in that city in 1901,
to-day made his escape from the peni-

Superintendent Mann, notifying him of
the escape of Hauser. but no particu

learn nothing during the day as to
the presence of the fugitive j in this

gone to New York where he formerly
resided and where his wife Is now
living, although a year or more ago,
she applied for a divorce in the courts
of this, county.
It wilt be remembered that: Hauser
kept a :' jewelry . store on 4 Market
street near Taylor's Bazaar, and that
on a Sunday - evening, -wniie ngnuy
closed up, fire broke out When the
firemen "went in the store they found
a most cleverly devised scheme to burn
the bouse' by means of a -huge clock
of Hauser's invention. A burning can
dle was left in the clock so that at a
particular hour it would fall into some
excelsior, set fire to the material and
communicate rapidly by - means of
leaders to gasoline bottles in all parts
of the store. Hauser was at the beach
when the fire broke out but he was
placed, under arrest upon his return

BRIDE'S LONG JOURNEY."

She Loved.
The romantic marriage of . Miss
Claudia Hewlett, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. W. S. Hewlett, of this city, and
Mr. Edward Henderson, of the Mur
ray Comedy Company, which recently
played a week's . engagement at the
Academy of Music in- this city, was
celebrated last Saturday at Bellefon
tanie, Ohio. The ceremony was per
formed by the Rev. E. Davies, a Pres
byterian minister, at the residence of
the pastor of the church, 216 East
Chilllcothe avenue, in the presence of
members of the company whose
names are attached, to the marriage
certificate received by a member of
the family yesterday. The local pa
per at Belief on tanie has the follow
ing with reference to the marriage:
'Rozell, the musical artist with the
Murray Comedy Company, . whose
name in private life is Edward Hen
derson, secured a marriage license
here today to wed Miss Claudia Hew-
I lett wno came here from Wilmington,
N. C. to join him.T '
Back of the story of the wedding
is a pretty little romance which Is
worth the telling. Miss Hewlett be-
i came acquainted with' the groom- du
ring bis brief stay with the company
in this city and their engagement was
of only, a' few. days. . The ; weddl
could not take place before Mr. Hen-
I derson left with his company and bo
It was arranged that Miss Hewlett
should join him later. ' Parental ob
jection intervened and the young
lady " was '" forbidden jj to leave In re
sponse to repeated! and urgent re
quests: from' the . prospective groom.
But 'love laughs at locksmltha,"
as the old saying goes, and at length
"unbeknownst" to the "old folks," the
bride-to-be slipped away i and had
soon ended a long, journey following
which : the ceremony took place and
tidings were sent back yesterday to
the parents who forgave and sent
congratulations.
