During the last week egg prices m Washington have decreased from 60 cents a dozen to 50, the price they were quoted at yesterday for the first time since the egg boycott began here. Dealers declare the drop in price, while coincident with, is not due to the boycott but to the increas ed supply and a lighter demand. Cold Storage Eggs. Boston, Dec. 26.

He was not only universally esteemed but beloved by a large circle of friends, representing members and non-members of the fra ternal orders. Mr. Wilmoth was born in WTashing ton, Indian.-, October 26, 1859, and was therefore 54 years of age. In 1890 he married Miss Anna Huer of Taure hautte, Indiana,.

Th.is Offer Likely to Have Ma terial Effects on Local Situa tionSalisbury Industrial Club Backs up The Propo sition. Salisbury Presbyterians, backed up by the Salisbury Industrial Club, sent a special telegram to President John L Caldwell this morning askin gif Salis bury has any chance to get Queens College if she gives $100,000 in mon ey and a site. This telegram coming at the moment when the local committees have said that the raising of the desired $150, 000 for Queens College was lagging dangerously, and that unless addition al subscriptions are made the college will have to give up the fight, injects' a new element into the situation and it looks as if Charlotte will have to make a mighty attempt if she is to retain this institution with all that it means to this city. First Telegram. The first telegram received by Pres ident Caldwell from Salisbury today is signed by Rev. Byron Clarke, pastor of the First Presbyterian church ol Salisbury, and reads as follows: Salisbury, N. C, Dec. 6. John L. Caldwell, Charlotte, N. C.

An interesting point brought out last night by City Engineer Lee is that Trade .street has a tendency to narrow down beginning at the gov ernment property on' West Trade street and coming east through the city towards the underpass. The city engineer stated that the rear of the Central hotel property was out about 2 inches more than the. front, in ac cordance with this tendency of the building line, as now built up, to con verge towards the underpass. Negro Rebels Freed. Havanna, Dec. 6. The senate has passed the amnesty bill freeing the negro rebels and the former liberal of ficeholders of the administration of President Gomez who had been charged with various crimes. Some of these men are now serving sen tences and others have not yet been tried. The bill provides for their libera tion after six months imprisonment. It originally was intended solely to benefit the rebels in the negro upris ing ' and when the corrupt civil em nloves were included the United States strongly opposed it. have so splendid a " get' leman and so able a man at the bad of their Charlotte business. His vjpyaity, his devotion to his employe's was pro verbial. Their interest .vasf his. He failed not in duty or anr point that concerned his private bujiess life. It were but just and rue to say that the present magnitude of the Stieff business in this city was due to Mr. Wilmoth. This, the,, city recog nized. He believed inf advertising. and wrote so attractively that the public read. It might truthfully be said -that he revolutionized the piano business in Charlotte. His energy, his force, his pleasant, manner of handling the trade won success for his house in this city. , A year ago last October he suffered a stroke of paralysis while in his car with his family driving to the fair grounds. He never fully regained his strength, but was able to attend to business. Having resigned his position with the Stieffs, he engaged in busi ness for himself. For some weeks he had been losing ground, but no one anticipated so sudden a call for this true hearted, good-hearted and greatly good man. Mr. Wilmoth was a member of the Presbyterian church, his membership being at the First Presbyterian church. He was a Christian in mind and hea t. He never had a mean or even unkind thing in his life. His nature was true, pure, lofty, his ideals high, his exemplary and his hold on the affections of the community strong. Prominent in Fraternal Circles. Mr. Wilmoth was prominent in fra ternal circles. He was a member of Carolina Consistory No. 1, A. A. S. R.; a member of Charlotte Command- ery, Knights Templar, and of Phalanx Lodge No. 31, and a member of Oasis Temple the Shrine. Beside being prominent in masonry he was also a Pythian, being a mem ber of xithbone Lodge. Mr. Wilmoth is furvived by his wife and daughter. The Funeral. The funeral service will be held Sunday af srnoon at 3:30 at the resi dence and will be in charge of the various masonic bodies. Rev. D. H. Rolston, of the First church will con duct the usual service of the church. All the masons of the city are re quested to meet at the Maconic Tem ple at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The Pythians will also attend the funeral in 'a body. OJJGT OF- THE TRUSTEES OF KINSTON SCHOOL commissioner of New York city.

THREE DROWNED WHEN WATER MAIN BURST. GREAT EXCITEMENT AHG ULSTER I UNION ISTS John L. Caldwell, - - Charlotte, N. C. If Charlotte fails in the attempt to raise necessary funds for Queens Col lege Salisbury would like to have the opportunity to show what can be done. This business organization will co operate iwth Salisbury Presbyterians in this connection. i (Signed) JAS. H. WARBURTON, " Secretary. The activity exhibited by Salisbury in this matter indicates a live spirit on the part of the Presbyterians of that city and of the industrial organi zation, and it is believed that this offer will do more to stimulate local efforts than anything that has been said or done recently. President Caldwell stated that the two telegrams from Salisbury would be read to the committees this after noon at the Selwyn hotel. It is not believed that Charlotte will lose Queens College when the ! matter at stake is presented in its true light to the city, but the determina tion which is manifested by Salisbury in the matter, is a striking example of up-to-dateness and will stimulate the local interest in the college and the raising of the $150,000 required, it is generally conceded.
