In fact, he said it was the very best water Jfre could get hold of. Mr. Brown was not of the same opinion, and urged the appropriation for a pump,' but it was finally decided to non-concur in the appropriaUon and excursionists will have to come down to the "town pump." if they must i n i ii 1 1 jiave wilier vvuhb m uie cny. . r The approprlat on of,an unexpended balance of $800 in the" smallpox fund fnr thfl mnrovement of Ann ctcot ! .

There was freezing weather through out this section this morning, the mercury registering 28 in the observa tory of the Raleigh Weather Bureau. Killing frosts are reported from all the principal points in the western and satral. sections of the State, and it is feared that there Vs almost a clean sweep, of fruits and truck, al though the real conditions as to these jrops cannot be ascertained as yet ' The fact . that truckers, especiall ber- .ry growers, are enerary prepared to cover the vines and protect thecn from sudden cold and fro?t causes the hope to be .entertained , that the damage In the truck and berry sections will not 1 be so great. -.s " WEATHER FREEZING YESTERDAY ofclock, there " wasiitUe'imoveinent In the temperature over, the day be fore and the lowest point reached "by the thermometer was exactly freezing, 32 .degrees. Thehigh winds and over hanging clouds' prevented a frost "ear ly yesterday morning, and it is be lieved that there was little damage, if any, to truck crops, but tbe worst is feared in the heavy frost predicted by the Weather Bureau for this morning. Much lettuce, radishes, beets,-cucumbers and the like are growing in the open, and it is impossible to protect them. If there is a heavy frost as uredicted and the indications seem to " . . is certain that the. crops mentioned will be badly cut off, if not blasted entlre lj Up to this time, the prospect has hen exceptionally good and the truck ers are anxious, until the morning is passed.

States in connection with the gas developing steam engine. After months of thor ough investigation, pursuing his ex periments abroad, where he was - five times decorated by Eastern potent tates for his great scientific learning, Prof Holmes is convinced " that 'this engine is capable of producing three and one-half times as much power from a given weight of coal as can be secured 'under an ordinary X boiler. The fuel tests were made at the St. Louis home of Prof. Holmes to deter mine the fuel; values of different coals and also to demonstrate the compara tive economics of various methods of applying coal to the piuuuuuuu uj. power. . - - ' . The demonstration of the possibili ties of, lignite, 1 giving it a mew and striking interest by . Prof. Holmes, has led the government to send a party of thirteen geologists (to accurately sur vey and study the coal deposits of the Rock Mountain region in North Dako ta,' the eastern third of Montana and a. great area of .Wyoming and northwestern South Dakota, a prac tically unexpired area. Profiessor Holmes has demonstrated that prop erly used, a ton of lignite j- will produce two and one-half times as much power as a ton of the best steaming coal tinder an ordinary boil er ' - :. -'-. ;. " . v;.-; The gas producer is simply a dou ble engine, which combines the steam engine and the gas motor. The fuel is used in the ordinary way to pro vide steam; but the production of combustion is afterward drawn off as gas, and used in a gas , motor, where explosion produces a great -deal more power than in the first phase. - The ap pa ratus is pronounced entirely practi cal ; and successful cjpmmercially. -: n' -ff 7TH EJRECOpPf RCOJtJ RT hambe rr of Commerce as -N atR& TJbe:Staasl?perhap too indefinite yesterday: :in stating ! that iti was but ;"a few years"; since the Cham ber of Conumerce had : passed - resoluT tions in favor of a Recorder's Court for Wilmington..
