A new lodge has just been instituted at Mt Airy with . membership of 26 while the. order has been greatly built un in other Darts of the State visited by the Deputy Grand Chancellor. A friendof the versatile, the irre pressible State Deputy told a good story at his expense, or rather at the expense of a party of Pythian friends with wMm he sawus- conversion at :he hotel in Charlotte a . day or two ago. jJoekr as we all know him In this part of the State, was the centre as usHal of a group of interested listen ers in the lobby. The "crowd was In clined to make sport of Charlotte and the way in which an over-conscientious recorder is wont to v"keep the lid down" in that good cradle of-Amerl- an independence. One thine after another that the sovereign voter could not buy in Charlotte were being enum erated by one and another when the Mecklenburg portion of the coterie of a sudden switched off In defence of their town. The "dock" was then in his element The crowd was thirstv and. the Wilmington man challenged them to know just what was the best thing that could be bought in Char lotte. The inference was Plain. Vis ions of Manhattans, Scotch high balls and sparkling Budweisec loomed up in the mental realm. The inference was that the "dock" was just up from the coast and, was about to-go Charlotte! one better and say "Whatcherave?" ! Members of . the party fell over one another in. an effort to say justwhat was the best .thing one could " hjiy" in Charlotte, but they all gave it up. The best thing the very best thing you can buy in Charlotte," quoth the dock" "is a ticket to Wilmington!" And "the Charlotte brethren mobbed him. .

Last week one of the latter class had been tried . and convicted in the Su perior . Court here and was told to stand up by Judge Webb. 'Can .you pay a fine?" His Honor rather sternly demanded. - 'How much is de fine, Cap'n?" promptly returned the-"old - negro.

LAMB TRIAL MONDAY End of First .Week in Superior Court Finds Docket in Good Shape IMPORTANT CASES NOW ON Seventy-five of One Hundred Venire men Are Summoned Matters Disposed of Yesterday Rhoe Goes to Brunswick County. : Seventy-five of the one- hundred men, j.'good and true," drawn as a spe cial venire from which to select a jury for the trial of the Lamb -murder case, beginning in the , Superior.- Court , to morrow morning at 9:30 o'clock, have been summoned by Sheriff Stedman and his ; deputies and indications are that the : hearing will begin . without d4ay.' Messrs.' Marsden Bellamytand Herbert McClammy and , CoL Alfred M. Waddell will appear for .the prison er and it is understood that the line of defense will be that the fatal shot - . .. was fired, not by the accused, but by another. Solicitor Duffy nas been careful in the preparation of his case for v the State and - the trial prom ises to rbe as vigorously prosecuted as Is consistent with the ends of jus- kice. The trial Will likely not be com pleted before the middle of the week and will be immediately followed by a trial of the Shockley case. Col. Wad dell has only been recently associated in the case of Lamb. It is stated that not one"of the coun sel receives a penny for his services in defence of the prisoner, having been touched by a recent visit of the prisoner's little sister from Florence, S. C, who offered from scant earnings $2.50 per week until the necessary fees were paid. Lamb is of a good family and wag formerly an employe in the tinning force of the Atlantic Coast Line. He became infatuated with a woman of questionable charac ter in this city and one night early last Fall, while drinking with compan ions in her room in the northern part of this city, she was shot and instant ly killed-- The trial promises to be quite interesting. Lamb is the picture of despair and excites the pity of all who have seen him since this shadow came over his life. Practically all of the cases on the docket with the exceptions noted were disposed of-by the close of the first week of the. term early yesterday af ternoon. Very rapid progress has been made by Judge Webb and Solicitor Duffy and a docket that seemed well nigh impossible on - Monday . has dwindled down to the proportions in dicated. Coqrt met at 9: 15 A.

"HONEST CONFESSION," ETC. Relative Freight Transportation of Wilmington and Charlotte Again. The article in yesterday's Star rela tive to the volume of freight handled by Wilmington and Charlotte in which was refuted an unjust comparison of figures in favor of the latter city, had not reached the Charlotte Observer be fore that paper with its characteris tic spirit of fairness, hastened-to exr plain that the. .figures quoted dealt only with railroad shipments. The Ob server goes on to say: i To deal with the. subject in per fect -candor the reader should be re minded that Wilmington does a large business in ocean freights and if these were included a somewhat different story would be told, but as to her ocean trade there are no statistics at hand." The Observer might have and doubtless would have 'said on second thought that the railway figures also do not include our tremendous coast- fwise shipments to Philadelphia, New i om, Kston, Baltimore ana otner places by Clyde Line and by sailing' craft of large capacity. Neither does it include freight transportation on the , river and along this immediate coast by the smaller sailing craft, all of which interests are now on their ascendency again. But these facts were spoken of yesterday. The Obser ver "admits the corn" and judgment is suspended. FELL FROM HILTON BRIDGE. Negro Employe at Almont Factory Drowned Saturday Night. Rivermen have been on the lookout the past week for the body of Paul Richardson, a negro employed as a mixer at the Almont guano-factory, who fell from Hilton- bridge last aSt urday night. Richardson was about 50 years old and was rather intoxicat ed. As he was on his way over from the city to the factory, the .A. & Y. train caught him on the bridge and he stepped on one of the abutments for the cars to pass. He fell over board and that was the last seen of him. Other factory employes in the vi cinity of the bridge ' heard the ' man cry out as he struck the water and heard him still shouting as the tide swept him down the river, but could render no assistance. , The body has not been recovered.

Wood and Associates Be hind Project That Augurs Success - Modern 200-Room Struc ture In Contemplation. A movement is on foot for the erec tion of another handsome hotel on Front street. Th& proposed site is the pliF'Seaboard Air. Line property, purchased ;pme time ago by Mr. T. W.Wood, and is most eligibly located. The proposed new structure would be modern in every respect and would be valuable addition' to" the - several handsome buildings that have been re mtly: located- on? thelclfy'pr!n&t horoughfare. :- " - ' ' "'' ' The existence of a movement: look ing to the erection of a .hotel on! the? site " mentioned was dearned dfll teo late last rnigfit to 'see Mr.. Wood, own er- of the property, in regard to the enterprise. Mr. Wood has been quite a successful operator in Wilmington real estate in late yearsand it Is learned that it is he who is behind the movement for the modern hostelry now in contemplation. It is said that he is interesting large capital in the enterprise and has met with marked success in this respect,: every one approached expressing abundant con fidence in the project and their willing ness to encourage the same in every way possible.- - The plan as presented is to form a stock company in which Mr. Wood would himself be interested in a large or small degree as would be accept able to others concerned. Ample capi tal would thereby be assured and a hotel of splendid proportions could be placed there with additional property to be acquired on the north. Messrs. J. H. Render & Co.., and J. W. Murchi son & -Co.?' own -the- property adjacent and it would be hoped to interest them in a probable sale of the addi tional frontage required. The present building on the site owned -by Mr. Wood and the Postal Telegraph office, also owned by Mr. Wood, would be removed to make way for the new structure. v . . The proposed, new hotel is to have 200 rooms and will be equipped essen tially as a tourist hotel, though the commercial patronage would , also' be catered to. Tne . railroad people have given every assurance that they will bring all the tourist hotel patronage to Wilmington that Wilmington "can take care of for at least six months in the year and this assurance in it self is indeed a valuable asset. Without prejudice to existing hotels which" already ' have about their ca pacity bHsfoestK -it- is hoped that the new enterprise-will become a certainty and that every . public spirited Wil- mingtonian will lend every encourage ment to the success of the movement. Good hotels are essential to the de velopment of any town or city and this onward movement by Wilming ton at the present should not be re tarded by the lack of abundant facil ities of every, kind for the "stranger that is withing our gates." If ad joining property can be acquired the proposition cf Mr. Wood is an invit ing one and one that means much for the city. This or some other like move ment is bound to materialize in the near future and if it can. successfully materialized by Wilmington people for thebenefit of Wilmington people, so much the better. s DEATH IN GLENN FAMILY.
