The railroads of Great Britain, see ing as how the abolition of rebating' helps the railroads of the United States, have agreed amonj; themselves to discontinue the practice. Their agreement went into effect esterday Rebating was a cut-throat business that hurt the railroads and placed one shipper at a disadvantage with an other. Says the Norfolk Landmark: "Whll.j wo an? taking In a million Immigrants i a year, chiefly of a doubtful sort, we are losing annually about 100,000 or our own citizens, who emigrate to Canada and these? emigrants are nearly all Industrious and law-abiding This process makes. the United States act as a filter for Canada's Immigra tion."

The benefits cf the or ganization for the betterment of the service was strongly urged and farmer Pcstmaster General Cortelyou was quoted, to show that the government sanctioned and approved of the for mation of societies and associations for the fraternal and social advantages to the men.

Death was in - stantaneous, adding another to the suicide of Monday morning and mak ing two within 48 hours of the New Year. According to all accounts the suicide .rm& w vw , , " " " of Merritt was perfectly deliberate and taf Kaon .arofullv nlnnnod Spvprfll x..v-....j f . days ago he was discharged for some cause from his position at the railroad riTnl th Ttiftttpr Rfpfmpfi to WGlen to weigh heavily upon his mind. He started to drinking to some extent and frequently spoke of his misfortune to those with -.ohww w whom he came In contact. For sev , d b a car inspec " - ter on the lower yards cf the company and wa3 generally liked. Yesterday morning the young man seemed more despondent than ever and left his home, going to a saloon on North Fcurih gtreet and drinking again. He remarked to some one about the sa loon that life was not worth living and lie would as socn end his exist ence as not. He walked back to his home after a while and went into the dining room where his wife was -ausy about her household duties. He told her that he would never drink any more and that he would dispose of his pistol. Whether his incoherent tail in this respect wap intended as an in timation, that he was.jroinff to commit suicide or whsthe.;ln-his abject de- 13 nortBon. At anyrate'lie weht from the dining room into a bed room !n tvft hon?ft anfl from tne nosition of suicide" or whsther ;in" his - abject de- In the house and from the position of hi8 body was found in later, it seems that he had carefully planned his rash act. He stretched himself out on the foot of the bed, placing his feet on a chair. A Cap on his head wa3 a little to one side as if he had turned it so to make the path of the bullet fired from the pistol more certain. The bul let hole, an ugly ghastly one, was just behind the 'right ear. The bed had been carefully made up and the cloth ing was swathed in blood in a few minutes. The ball entered the brain, portions cf it exuding through the wound. The pistol with which the un fortunate man had ended his exis tence was clutched in his right hand where U had fallen tne minute it was fired. Mrs. vMerritt heard the pistol shot first and suspected the worst had .hap pened. She was afraid to go in the room at first and summoned Mr. H. L. Stephens, who lives next door. Mr. Stephens immediately burst into the room but the man was beyond all hu man 'aid, death having ensued instantly-Very soon large crowds collected at the saddened horn and the coroner wnc summoned. It was a clear case of suicide and no inquest was deemed necessary. The remains were at once turned over to Funeral Director Wal ter E. Yopp and taken to his establish ment on Princess street, the agonized wife and the little children being dis tracted with grief at the gruesome sight in the house. When it had been nrenared at the underakers for bur ial, It was taken yesterday evening to the home of a sister, Mrs. M. a. lyn dall, on Taylor, between Third and Fourth streets.- from whence the fu neral will be held this morning at 10 o'clock and the interment will be in Bellevue cemetery. Mr. Menrltt was a son of Mr. Jeff Merritt. a foreman of the Streets and Wharves Department of the city, and a most excellent citizen. He ' was born in Sampson county, and was 36 years old on Christmas eve just pass ed. He married jmss js.ate sogers, oi Brunswick countv. about eight years ago, and she with four little children, the oldest not over seven years, being lpft to mourn their loss. The, young man is also survived by his father and the following sisters: Mrs. M. A. Tyn- dail Mrs. Kate Brown, Mrs. Ktta sai ling's, Miss Sarah C. Meiritt, of this city and Mrs. Emma Popecf Magnol ia. Thp father cf, the suicide is- greatly distressed over his son's rash act; and said that he had done all in his power Jo buoy him up in spirits since he l6st his position at the railroad. He once had a position, on the street force with his father, and onlythe day before he killed himself ; applied- for. 'work . Iff JMprrittUolrl hie son that he would-give him work just as soon as there vwas a vacancy and he hoped to dothis before very. long, uiit tne prcmie seemed to. detract, little from the depression of the man and he end ed -hig' life in -lthe horrible manner described. Tte greatest sympathy is expressed for the young wife and tne four little children for whom she must battle until they are old enough to take care of themselves.

A YEAR IN SHIPPING Annual Report of Harbor Mast er For Twelve Months Just Ended. AMERICAN AND FOREIGN Total Number of. Vessels Was 289, AU of 90 Tons and Over Showing Is Very Satisfactory to Business , Interests, The annual report of 'Capt. Etigar D. Williams, harbor master for the port of Wilmington for the calendar year ended January the first, shows a very gratifying increase in the ship ping of the port over the same period - in 1905. The statement has just bee completed for the twelv months an'G is quite interesting, taking into, ac count all vessels of 90 tons and over that entered the port during the year. For the period named .the record 'of American shipping is 126 steamers of a net tonnage of 153,273 ; tnree Darques 1,471 tons; two brigs, 726 tons; 11 barges, 16,730 tons and 94 schooners or 38,016 tons. The total vessels was 236; total tonnage,. 210,216. r The foreign, shipping consisted of 42 steamers" of f74,690 tons; five barques, 3,073 tons, and-six schooners, 1,207 tons. The total number of vessels was 53 with a combined tonnage of 78,970. The grand total number of vessels was 289 or an entry of an ocean-going- vessel for almost every business? day in the year, the grand total Of tonnage being 4f89,186. It is expected that the New Year will see a great improvement even in this rppord. There is an increasing num-. hPtr of vessels engaged "in freighting fertilizer constituents here and them other enterprises lust es tablished that contemplate doing an exportteg--an(r importing business, ax :; any rate the record for lyub is very gratifying and. if the record of 1907 doss no more than equal it, the con ditions will be perfectly, satisfactory. ; EMPLOYES ENTERTAINED.

At the regular meeting cf Carolina Aerie, Fraternal Order of Eagles,' last night, the installation of officers elect ed at the December meeting tkok nlace with the beautiful ceremonies of the order and following this a busi ness session of the lodge was held at which the general committee on the recent carnival made .report. Of this committee Ofpt. John J. Furlong was , . chairman and William J. Bellamy, ifisq. f was treasurer, the reports of these, of- fleers being of special" importance. 1 While the details of the statement was, not given out for publication because nf the fact that a number of bills are yet outstanding, it was stated that the Eagles , realized -several hundred dol lars from the carnival, the 'net amount being cut down by the heavy expenses to which the committee .was put. x rom the statement it was shown that the carnival was the most expensive given in the city in several years, the Eagles having paid every expense and having asked for nothing that they were not willing to pay. It is gratifying to -know that the ledger of the carnivar shows un a balance on the1 right side- and that the Eagles will have quite a nice little sum to carry on its cnarity work during the year. ' The forfeit-of $100 placed with the city for the proper restoration of-he streets, was released, the street having been inspected by the committee from the Board of Aldermen and found to be in every way satisfctory.
