Governor Glenn saysr an error occurred in ' some of the press : reports of the. statement he made last evening relative to-the status or the railroad rate' litigation and the efforts that are being made to effect a compromise, in that "it appear ed that the individual mileage books at two cents per mile were limited to 2,000, while the books for firms and employes (to the. limit of five persons) were proposed to be fixed at 1,000 miles, at the same rate two cents per mile. The reverse of this, is true. The, individual mileage books, under the proposition by. the Governor, are to be 1,000 miles and the books for firms and employes 2,000 miles. So that the proposition from the Govern or to which the Southern and the Sea board Air Line have expresed their willingness to agree and which Is be ing held up by the refusal of the At lantic Coast Line and the non-committal attitude of other roads that would be parties to the: final settlement, Is that the railroads make , both the inter- and intra-State general passenger rate 2 1-2 cents - -with 2,000 mileage books, good for firms, and .employes and 1,000 mileage books for( individu als both good inter- and intra-State for -two cents I per mile- and family mileage books at 2 1-4 cents, good on North . Carolina lines, the railroads to bear all the expenses of the litigation including attorneys fees - in the rate litigation to date.

Important Matters Considered. An important regular monthly meet Navigation and Pilotage of the port of Wilmington was held Wednesday of" this week in this city, the' meeting navin& been deferred from December ! 4th. There were Dresent Chairman t James Sprunt, Commissioners M, C. Guthrie,. J; W. Harper, Richard Dosh er, Mr. L. Brown McKoy, the clerk, and Capt. J. W. Craig, pilot. A num ber of., important matters were con sidered, copies of the proceedings hav ing been furnished only yesterday to the press. Perhaps the most important matter discussed was the question of a wire less telegraph system between Frying Pan lightship and Wilmington. The matter has been up for some time and at the meeting Wednesday the chair-, man read correspondence with the Lighthouse Board, the Navy Depart ment and the commander of the Sixth Lighthouse District. However, no thing has as yet been accomplished and the chairman was instructed to press the matter further and, if . ne. cessary, to appeal to North Carolina's representatives in Congress to the end that the wireless service be establish ed as" soon as possible. ' After a, reading of the correspon dence between the chairman and Ma jor Schumm, commander of Fort Cas well, and after an inspection of cer tain blue prints furnished, the chair man was directed to inform Major Schumm that the . following, restricr tions were acceptable , to . the Board- as area J as an anchorage . . - , . . . "From Fort . CasVell wharf In a straight line to"N6;'7 buoy: from No. 7 buoy in a straight line-to No. 5 buoy; the area to be used by the military authorities' to be west ward' of this line and not to the east ward of it." The chairman was in structed . -to arrange ' with Major Schumm for the proper promulgation of the order, it being understood by the Board that the proposed -limitation will not interfere with the navi gation of the river. The Board received from the com mittee composed of Capt. J. W. Har per, Messrs. M. C. Guthrie and Rich ard Dosher, a communication stating that after a meeting and due consider ation of the matter under the present situation of the pilotage service at the bar and in - view of the regulations soon to be made effective by the Com missioners, the committee does not think the "naming of special stations for the reflation and observance of the Cape Fear pilots while on duty, is necessary. , The chairman was requested by the Board to ask the Lighthouse Board commander for a thorough reconstruc tion of the Cape Fear ranges "and lights, which have long been inade quate and frequently" useless for the navigation of the river. It was sug gested that the stake 'lights might be so adjusted with reference to the work of the U. S. Engineers in deep ening; the channel, as to make-them effective ranges for navigation , by day as well as by night. The chairman' related" the circum stances andV stated that Pilot I. S. Davis had been suspended for thirty days for intoxication. The' chairman was given full authority to act in the suspension- of license of, pilots In sim ilar n cases without calling a meeting of. the . Board for , its consideration, but that in cases of dereliction of du ty, involving the necessity for an in vestigation, that the Board be com municated with before action is taken. Communication of -Pilot O. D. Bur riss with reference to his claim tor pilotage outward on the ischooner Aet na was referred to the resident com missioner l at Southport with inquiry of ' Capt.4 Bur'riss if he desires" to- bring the matter before the .Board,' in which case v ther clerk : will summons Pilot Burriss and Pilot t.

State Slight Increase' This Year. Warrants upon the State treasury for the Confederate pensioners of New Hanover county were received yes terday from the State Auditor by Col. Jno. D. Taylor, clerk of the Superior Court, and these will be ready, for dis tribution to the old soldiers and wi dows of Confederates this morning., The warrants are payable ,at any bank and come in good time for mariy of the old soldiers for thelorious Christ mas holidays. y - The total amount of pensions re ceived by beneficiaries in this county is $2,822.00. There are 12 widows and 56 soldiers, all of Class 4, who receive" $25 per year each; three soldiers of second class who receive $60 each and four of third class who ach receive $48. There are no widows of: the sec ond and third classes. The amounts received this year by the old soldiers, and widows of soldiers are about 33 1-3 per cent, higher than last year, the recent General Assembly having made better provision for those who lost their fortunes as the result of the war. In addition to these pensioners, the State also provides a separate pension for those who are totally disabled. There is only one such in the county, Mr. James H. Hicks, and he receives a monthly pension of, $120 per year, which is paid in July.' ' Of the higher class of pensioners there are three of the second class in the comity, Messrs M. T. Davis, James E. Kelly and W. B. Wells, re ceiving each $60 per year. Of the third class, receiving $48 per year, are Messrs., Jno. A. Farrow, J. W. Gray, W. M. Stevenson and B. O. Watson. It - is ' hoped ere long that the 'State will be as well able to care for its old soldiers -as the United 'States is looking after its. veterans in the Civil War, many of the latter class receiv ing annually more than a hundred dol lars a-year CASTLE HAYNES CROSSING Question .Brought to - Attention , of CharnbeVrpf Commerce yesterday af ternoon; Mr. ' Marcus W. ' Jaeobi called to the attention . of.- that body the necessity for some action looking to the protection of the pnl 1 ic from the dangers of the Castle Haynes road grossing with the Atlan tic Coast Line at Ninth and Taylor streets. -The meeting of the Chamber was called for a special purpose and no action could be taken on the 'matter-yesterday, but It was the tacit un derstanding that later the subject will be brought up and the Alantic. Coast Line will be asked to provide .some safeguards at the plaqe mentioned. Mr. Jacob! stated that he felt that something should be done and he had no idea but that if the matter was presented in a proper manner to the railway officials, they would provide some remedy against the dangers which now exist. He spoke of the value of the Castle Haynes county road as a public thoroughfare and told of devices used by railways .in other cities. If the matter was brought to the attention of the proper Coast Line officials' he said that they would ap-j preciate the situation and do some thing to reduce the dangers to peo ple at that point. Bad Negro Arrested. Constable Savage yesterday, arrest ed at the Champion Compress a negro named Solomon Davis, Jr., who is said toy be badly wanted at Lake Wacca maw for shooting another negro in that vicinitj4ast July and for iselllng liquor there. The negro was arrested on a warrant tiereNmarging him with the larceny of $5 from another negro and upon this charge he will be given trial before Justice Furlong at 3 o' clock this afternoon but- he will be held' until ConstableSavage can hear from the Lake Waccamaw authorities as to the other " charges preferred against him. Davis appeafs to be an all-round " bad negro and has been drifting about the country for some time, working ; a. day now and then to keep up appearances. He was placed in -jail by Constable Savage yesterday morning until there are further devel opments in the 'case. The Convention Entertainment.
