States Army,, has ap pointed Thursday, October the 18th, at noon, as the date and hour for a hearing of - persons inlterested in the proposed draw in the trestle of the Consolidated Railways, Light and Power Company over the Banks Chan nel at Wrightsville Beach: The hear ing . will take place in Maj. ' Winslow's office onthe.-third floor of the Post office Building and all interested will be given n opporitunity to be heard for or against the project. It is proposed to place in J the bridge, which now spans the water course, a draw having a clear width of opening of not less than 20 feet, the same to be located as to beslt serve the Interests of navigation. The com pany is given until the 1st. day of May, 1907 to put the draw in the event that after the .hearing it is deemed advisable. As all the papers will be aid before the Secretary of War for his decision, it is suggested that it will perhaps-best suit the purpose of hose to be heard to submit in wriit ng and in duplicate whatever they may wish to present. It is known that the Consolidated Company will strenuously oppose the draw In every legitimate way, inas much as such an arrangement would greatly hinder travel to the beach at all seasons. It will be further set up that there is no reasonable demand, for the draw and that vessels of no commercial importance would use the course in the event of its being open ed. It is hinted that if the company is required to put in the draw, it may change the course of its line to the beach, running across Masonboro from. Bradley's Creek to the southern end of the beach where only a fill would be required over the Sound and the line to Wrightsville would be made a, branch. It is - known tnat surveys- nave Deen maae across mtisuuuuru with some end. in view and it is be lieved that the purpose is to eliminate the cost of the expensive trestle work across the Sounds and reach a new territory by 'entering on the southern end of the beach. The action of the War Department in this respect will be watched wit$ a great deal of in terest, as it may change the map of the entire territory of Wilmington su burban resorts.

C, on the A. & Y. rail road, he endeavored to board a freight train of the defendant company to give some instructions to Conductor McCuiloeh in regard to the placing of some cars on a siding there, when the train came back on the crossing with much violence as the result of which his foot wasf caught between two" bumpers and fottr of his toes and a part of his foot, was cut off.

Short talks .were- made by. several of the pastors of the city and by Dr. McKanna. The meeting was full of en thusiasm and good fellowship abound ed wilthout limit, as it has done at all times during the time of treat ment, j At the conclusion of the meeting standing vote of thanks was Unani mously extended to Dr. McKanna and all of the city ministers who assisted in making it possible for so large a number to be treated here at this time, after which the meeting adjourn ed to meet in the same hall again next Thursday night at 8:30 o'clock. There only remains a class of twelve men now to finish the treatment. They will be finally discharged this after noon. Dr. McKanna left yesterday evening for Reidsville and will leave in a few days for Kansas City, Mo., to meet an appointment there. Dr. J. B. Gun ter remains in charge of the class now under treatment here, but will return to the" sanitarium at Reidsville . tonight. recess at 6 o'clock yesterday evening.

The di vorce was granted on the Biblical grounds provided by statute. , The de fendant made no response to the sum mons and is understood tovbe in an other State. The case was conducted" for the plaintiff by Marsden Bellamy, Jr., Esq. The case of Frank Meier against the Consolidated Company may prob ably be taken up to-day. In this case heavy damages are asked for the .kill ing of plaintiff's brother by a subur ban car near Greenville station, on the Sound. This case will probably require several days for trial and will be contested by very able counsel by both sides.

' The casual visitor to the 'Store this season is truck with the very mate rial enlargement that has been made to the building during the Summer, nearly half of which is given to the milinery. Altogether the flfrm has 26,000 feet of floor space under the one roof, ad everything is neatly and nicely arranged. From front to rear for the opening one finds a very tasted ful decoration of plants and flowers a distinguishing, feature in the milli nery salesroom being a very pretty autumn ( arch entwined, . With grape vines from ""wniclr large buncnes of the delicious fruit hang in clusters, the whoie lighted with incandescents, half concealed in the foliage. The ef fect here a3 we 1 as that all over the store, is very pretty indeed and com bines with the magnificent display of goods to make a beauty-place not to be despised. The decoraltions were designed by Mr. Rehder and Mr. E.. C. More and were executed under their capable direction. Miss Sarah Gardner assisted . by Miss Maude 'Lee Vaughan, for several years connected with one of the larg est millinery houses in Raleigh, and nine other young lady assistants are in charge of the trimming department of 'the millinery goods, and Miss Lot tie tlobbs, assisted by Misses, Burk heimer and Gerdes, is in charge of the salesroom. Miss Gardner and Mr. and. Mrs. Rehder spent some weeks North in the early part of. the season and they have made a beautiful and one of the largest selections ever brought to the city. More than 500 exclusive styles in hats are shown with a great variety of trimmings. The leading shades this season are brown, greeny gray and garnet, while some of the favorite trimmings are ostrich tips,' . feathers, aigrettes, wings, roses, fruits andr foliage, moline, velvets and all of the lighter materials. The leading patterns in . hats are the Georgette, Leonine, MacDiU, Gilbert, Rylelne, Vestillia, Julia Bonbon, Tambourine, Ashbury and the Czarina. A try-on room is an innovation in that in the rear of the salesroom is1 a quiet, secluded spot where any cus tomer may have any' number of styles ; presented for'aproval without the publicity so conJmon to the ordinary millinery establishment. - Just to the rear of the millinery de partment may be found a complete department of cloaks, furs, veils and the like in all colors and styles. This was made-possible by the enlargement of the store, 'which now ranks as one of the largest, best ventilated and most convenient in the State. The enlargement also afforded opportunity for adding another department, known as the Five, Ten and Twenty-Five Cent counters -where many useful ar ticles are attractively displayed. f The carpet room of the establish ment Is on the. second floor in the an nex. This loo is very complete and' the line includes every variety . and price of goods including rugs, cur tains, portieres and - the " like .Here the latest machinery is installed for sewing and matching goods so that Concluded on page" "four. 1 1 .1 wm ill !!''.. , i j -. 1 1 1 1 11 A I mm Ml ! hr.'lh hi 1 n ; 1 .!! . ; W -'t r f !:!;' V v- '.
