Plans are rapidly being made for" an early development of "Carolina Place," to the southeast of the city by the American 'Suburban Corpora tion, of Norfolk, Va., which recently purchased the property from Mrs . W. A: Wright An arrangement has just been made by Mr. W. D. Penderj presi dent of the corporation, by which the Clarendon Water Works Company agrees to extend its main to Seyen- teenth and Market streets, and a con- tract'has been made with Capt Wm. F. Robertson, who will lay out the system to cover the entire settlement, affording - the regular service of the company to all residents, at that re sort J ' : " ' - - ' - .' Mr.- Pender was recently here and withCapt Robertsou investigated the efforts that are being made with the filter plant to afford a pure water sup ply and hing a practical water works man himself ia connection with his extension properties at NoYfolk and elsewhere, decided to at once enter In to an' arrangement with the,' company for a domestic, supply for "Carolina Place. The extension will involve the lay ing of an eight-inch main from' Ninth and Market to Seventeenth and Mar ket a distance of eight blocks, afford ing water- service not only to residents at "Carolina Place" but also to prop erty, owners along, the route on Mar ket street, which is also being rapidly developed as a residence' section. There is ' now a six-inch main from Ninth to Tenth street, on Market, but that will be taken up and the larger pipe substituted. Along the extension on Market street, cross pipes will be laid with hydrant branches at all street intersections in case the fire service is later wanted hy the city in that territory. - The Market street extension and the laying of the lateral pipe system over the suburban settlement will entail an expenditure of several thousand dol lars , for material and labor and the work will begin within ten days or two weeks, contingent upon the delivery' of the pipe, etc.. by the railroads. The extension wiir be completed in 30 or CO days. The. Clarendon Water Works Com pany have been, asked for a service on Market street several times but un til the present arrangement with the Norfolk corporation was gntered into, it; was not thought that the patronage would jusify the expense of. the exten sion. r ; , . . In addition to water, "Carolina Place" will also have a first-class sew erage system draining to the east, al so electric light and street car service. This is definite. It is stated upoa au thority of one .who knows that if the arrangement for the car service can not be made with the Consolidated Company the Suburban Corporation will build and operate for .the resi dents of the settlement a carvlijiP'Of their own. This was the history of the company's unsuccessful effort to make terms with the water company in Nor folk. In Jacksonville, Fla., the cor poration has spent over $100,000 on. Riverside Heights since - January 1st It was recently decided in Norfolk tr give the corporation's suburban water plant there the contract for the ser vice on the Jamestown Exposition grounds.- " - - " : . ..The coming-Of the Norfolk corpora tion" to x Seventeenth - and Market streets means that all that part of the city is to e developed. he lines to the north and south befog limited, the Norfolk investment is construed to be the first step in the growth of the city toward the southeast, eventually tak ing in Winter Park Gardens, Delgado and --other favorite spots for develop ment. 4" - ' ''' '-' . - .. - - Front a" source that ?

ASSAULTED CRIPPLE, GIVEN THIRTY DAYS "Bill" McLeod In Peck of Trouble for inhuman. Act. Nothing New -j Fantopula Store Robbery. in In the police court yesterday Wil liam McLeocTpthe negro who made an unprovoked assault upon a man pn crutches in front of the skating rink early Friday night was given -a straight sentence of 30 days on the roads. McLeod was sullen and said he had nothing to say when asked by the Mayor if he had any statement he desired to make. The charge entered against the - negro was engaging in an affray. Bennie Cottle, the . drug clerk and- Fireman Handiford, who come to the rescue of the cripple when he was assaulted by. the negro, were aismissed.- The charge against them was not "even entered upon the police court docket when the circumstances of the affair came out at the trial. McLeod, it seems, bears a rather un savory reputation. At the time of the assault Friday night he was under bond to appear in the Superior Court to answer another charge. His bonds man, Mr. T. J. Gore, after the trial in the police court yesterday, withdrew from the bond and Sheriff Stedman has notified the convict camp authorities to send him to jail as soon as his term on the roadsis completed. -'. v The other cases in the Mayor's court yesterday were not important The charge of robbery again the young white man Walton was continued un til Monday with the hope in the mean time of recovering the remaining $200 of the $340 stolen from his employer, the Greek confectioner. Tony Fantop ula. Police Sergeant Burnett is at work on the case. Yesterday' young Walton agreed to show Sergeant Burnett- where the balance of the stolen money was hidden and the clerk was accompanied to his boarding house. Upon arrival there, however, Walton said the money had been"-removed from where he left it the night before. The- ease against - th9 Wilmingt on Sewerage Co-,- for non-payment of li cense tax, was continued until next Saturday week.' Hon. John D. Bellamy was present to represent the-sewer-age company. ' ST.

Strong Testimonial from Willard Bag " and 'Manufacturing Company. Wilmington, N. C, March 16, 1906. Mr. Andrew Smith, City. Dear Sir, We are pleased to in form you that we have made a careful examination of the vSand Lime bricks which were used in the construction of- our factory, and find that although subject to great heat the bricks appear to" be; in as good condition as neiore the fire. ' .. In. certain parts of our wall, we used. a mortar -rery rich with cement ana we find that the bricks were bound so firmly together that it is impossible to separate them without breaking the brick. In other parts , of tne wan, where the mortar was mixed with a lareer portion ' of sand, we find it is an easy matter to clean the bricks so they are practically as good as new. We see no reason why the sand lime brick should not prove as satisfactory as a clay brick and We would have net hesitancy in using them m our new factory. In fact we are having the entire lot cleaned at present and intend cer tainly to use what we have. Very truly yours, E.

Loose From Myrtle Tunnell being Borne out to sea May Have to Be Destroyed as Menace to Navigation Much Disappoint ment at Loss of Valuable Prize ,. . Othr Notes of Interest After having" hung manfully to the derelict all night and pulling with al her might toward the Cape Fear bar, the Wilmington, Southport and Little River Transportation Company ts tug Blanche, on account of the -heavy sea-. running and the weight, of the water logged tow; was forced to back up and cut adrift again "the big four-masted schooner Myrtle Tunnell, three miles off. Cape Fear lightship, at 5 o'clock yesterday .morning. The' derelict schooner, apprize of something lik( $25,000, is now adrift in mid-ocean and may never be recovered. The story of. the mishap to the Tun hell,, a brand new ship and elegantly equipped, has been toldin the public prints; likewise the news that in Fri day night's' northeaster she bumped afloat of her own accord and started adrift The Blanche, the only one-of the river craft except the pilot boat Isabel to brave the storm in search of the derelict, reached the Tunnell night before last and made fast a line. The vessel had come off on the east side of the shoal and the -tug had to pull her around the lightship, a distance of 25 or 30 miles. The tow boat hung to the big craft and made good head way toward the inside until about 3 o'clock yesterday morning when the seas began to run high and bfear the derelict off shore. - The Blanche pulled with all- herjnight, but in spite of the effort, in an opposite direction, the schooner and the tug were being borne out to sea three miles an hour 'all the while. It was a manful "struggle by the tug against the elements and the weight of the tow and the odds went with the vessel. Fuel on the tug was running low and seas were breaking all over her when she finally, at 5 o'clock,, had to back up and cut the hawser, three miles east oi; the light ship. It was impossible to get aboard the schooner and "drop the anchors as might have been ordinarily the case. The schooner's bow was very low in the water but the stern was well up. It is expected by this time that she is far to the eastward and will ulti mately have to . be destroyed as a menace to navigation. The Revenue Cutter Seminole proceeded "South yes terday morning but it is hardly ex pected that she will come up with the derelict When the tug left yes terday morning the. schooner was out of sight of Frying Pan light The Rlanehecame uo to WilminetoD jesieruay- anemoon ana tne captain ana crew were much disappointed, af ter the arduous effort put forth, that they were not able to bring the vessel in. THE COMING OF DAMROSCH. Solicitors at Work Upon Proposition for Big Musical Attraction. For four days solicitors have been working on the subscription lists foT the proposed Damrosch orchestra and they feel very much encouraged with the work accomplished. Up to last night about 150 tickets had beefisold and while that is comparatively a very small number, yet it is looked upon as a good beginning,, as in many cases a solicitor has to tarry in order to ex plain fully the attraction. About a meek more remains of the' option time and it is hoped by the end of this week to have enough subscribers to justify the management of the Acad emy in guaranteeing the $1,1500 requir ed in order to get . the orchestra to come to Wilmington. The music lov ers of the city are urged , to subscribe to -tickets as soon as possible, as the Academy management positively an nounces that if at the expiration of this week, it has not enough tickets In sight to come near covering the guar antee, it will decline, the offer, which is a most important one. A concert by such an organization as the Ney York sympnony urcnestra, or tne uamroscn Orchestra as it is now popularly known, means a big thing to a city the size of Wilmington,' as it is very seldom that the attraction goes with out the portals of the. larger' cities. The opporunny is only offered now as the orchestra w to maKe a Drier tourrOI Mr8 p. f. Duffy, has gone to St of the principal Southern cities after the Lenten season. However, If Wil mington is successful this year it will mean that In future, it will be very likely that other big musical attrac tions will be secured by the manage ment. In addition to the orchestra, it is proposed to present as the soloist Miss Marguerite Hall, the well known contralto, who receives a--large amount for each time she sings. -i: ; - The orchestra that is conducted by Walter Damrosch is the greatest in the country. Of that there can be no doubt and it will be the biggest thing of its kind Wilmlngon has ever had, : Tick ets are being offered for $2-50 each and should-find rarady purchasers. d rarady vfEETIN WHITE GS THIS WEEK.
