Norfolk, Va., June 10. —Princess Anne Hotel at Virginia Beach wasj' destroyed this morning by fire origi nating in the kitchen. Over fifty guests had narrow es capes. Two negro chambermaids are re ported missing. The Norfolk and Southern depot and hotel bowling alley were destroy ed also. The total loss is over $lOO,OOO. Hero Saved fvTany. There A\ere 110 persons, guests and employes, in the hotel. All are thought to have escaped with the exception of Emma Clark, a negro chambermaid, and John Eaton, a white steward. There were no fire escapes. That a score or more persons were not lost is attributed to the heroism of Carl Boeschen, a sergeant with the Richmond Light Artillery Blues, who, rushing from room to room, awakened the sleeping occupants, many of whom barely escaped in theirnight clothes. Boeschen finally fell exhausted and had to be borne from the burning building. The loss on the building is $155,000, with ?53,000 insurance. Manager A. C. Mitchell, of Asheville, had no insurance. The hotel safe in which the heavy re ceipts of yesterday and thousands of dollars worth of valuables were placed therein by the guests was not locked and its entire contents were lost when the building collapsed. Women Did Fine Work. It is reported that an unknown guest, a friend of Manager Mitchell, who came in last night without regis tering, is missing. But for the work of a bucket bjigade made up principally of women cot tagers, and led by Mrs. Tucker, wife of the Episcopal Bishop Coadjutor of Southern Virginia, the entire ocean front of cottages north o£ the hotel would have been wiped out. The women worked with white men like Trojans, while negro men stood bv and offered no assistance. Salisbury, N. C., June 7—Mr. W. Ross Cox, formerly with A. W. Yvino coff's dry goods store, has purchased the grocery business of Mr. J. W. Sur ratt, on North Main street, and will continue the business at the same place. CASTORIA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Tears the // ?/? " Suture of DURHAM PUS FOR BIG HOTEL Durham, N. C., June R. —Since t':o de structive fire that completely de stroy ed the Hotel Carrolina the first of May, | Durham has been rather handicapped iii handling the traveling public, this being the only hotel in the city of any cor. sequence. Numbers of t raving men are constantly visiting the eiiy, seme of them rent rooms and take their meals at other places, and ethers make out the best way that is possi ble. To remedy this efficient neei Col. Julian S. Carr recently made a sugges tion to the people of Durham to form a stock company and build a hotel that .wiii cost several hundred thousard dollars. Iu his plans of this new move Ihe ilso suggested as a site for the j I building of tbis proposed hotel the site opposite the union station, which Is at I present, occupied by the court J)ou«r. jit would be quite difficult to estimate the time it would require for the ve rt'oval of the court house and the erct-j iing of the new hotel. This would be a rp.endid location, convenient fo; the traveling public and in the centre of 1 tie city. l or several years the removal of the court house has been a matter to'- dis cussion, and at the ast sesion of the State legislature a bill concerning this '.\as presented, and the county commis .sioners of Durham were given the l'.foor-, ty to select another site. .They have had several under consideration, but ii. will possibly be a year before any thing in this line will actually ma ture. During this time Durham wil tie ob liged to make out the best wav she can, but it wil be at a remote disad vantage. Crop Repo On Conditions Washington, D.

C., June 7.—A small wreck in the western part of the city this morning between a Seaboard passenger train and a Durham ana Southern engine came near resulting in the death of a number of lives and was only avoided by the Slow speed of the passenger 'train.

The passengers on 'the Seaboard train wer*} badly I shaken up, but none were seriously I hurt. The track was torn up for several yards and both engines were badly 1 disabled. Durham & Charlotte R. R. Co. Asks to be Exempted Raleigh, N. C., June 7 Major W. A. Guthrie and Frank D. Jones, attorneys for the Durham and Charlotte Railroad Co., appeared before the corporation commission and asked that the road i»c exempt from the operation of the 2 -4 cent passenger rate, passed by the last legislature. This is under the provision that the commission can exempt any road with less than CO miles of track where it 13 shown that the reduced rate would work a hardship on the company. No action has been taken by the commission. A number of the other roads with less than GO miles of track have filed applications for exemption including the Longdale road, East Caiolina road, East Tennessee and Western Carolina, South & Western, Aberdeen & Rock fish.

Pierpont Morgan and_ his allies in ' banking and railroad circles entered in to a conspiracy at the time the Termi nal -oad was sold and that a commit tee representing the bondholders bought the road at the set price of $2,000,000. It further charges that the creditors were prevented from bidding on the road by prearranged plan of Morgan and his allies. The bank holds a note against the Terminal Company for $15,039.77, and the petition sets forth that there are other unsatisfied claims amounting to $lOO,OOO. It is maintained that the road would have sold for a much higher price had it not been for this alleged agreement between railroad interests, whereby the road was to be bid in at the upset price of $2,000,000, thus freezing out unsecured creditors and holders of floating indebtedness. The petition avers that, should the r.ule of the road be confirmed, a scheme is afoot to organize a purchasing com pany and bond the road for only $6,: 000,000, the bonds to be secured by the Pore Marquette, Lake Shore and other railroads in the Vanderbilt system. The capital stock of the Terminal road was $3,500,000, according to the petition, and the majority being owned by the banking house of J. P. Morgan & Co., who also own the majority of the stock of the Pere Marquette. It de clares that a protective committee of the bondholders was organized, and it is alleged that this committee entered into collusion with the Commonwealth Trust Company, on the application of which the road went into the hands of a receiver, to prevent competitive hiddiug, that the road was knocked down to a low figure to prevent the collection of liabilities and prevent the unsecured creditors from being re imbursed. Further allegations are that the Fore Marquette will receive some of the bonds of the Terminal Company without compensation as a reward for its failure to oppose the forclosure of ihe mortgage. All the railroads entering Toledo, with one or two exceptions, are under the control and influence of Morga, it is alleged, and, as a result of this none of the roads opposed the bidding of the bondholders' committee, which purchased the road at the remarkable low price on May 28. SUITS OVER BOARD BILL Gastonia, June S.—Lester Coles, a hypnotic subject of W. M. Fayssoux, of this place, was arrested last night on a warrant issued by Mr. Pendleton, proprietor of the Pendleton House, charging him with an attempt to skip his board bill, which amounted to $l2. The trial was held before Squire P. 11. White, at midnight. The young man was found guilty and was placed in 1 jail in default of a $2OO bond, though the bond was furnished this morning and cole was released. This brought out a case against Mr. Pendleton. Mr. Fayssoux claimed that he had made arrangements with Pendleton for Cole's board and was, therefore, responsible for the bill. He at once instituted suit against him for the recovery of $17.19, a bill which Fayssoux claimed Pendleton owed him for groceries. He was awarded judg ment fo- this amount. Upward Jump on The i New York Market , New York, June 8. —The price of cotton for delivery in July made anoth er upward jump and within half an hour advanced a dollar and a half per bale. This placed the price of the July option at $3.75 per bale higher i than the low price of yesterday. Ru mors that a group of English and American interests have cornered the July option caused most of this ac- \ tivity. Trading in latef options was easy at slight advances.

C., June 8. —At the recep tion given at Trinity Collego on Wed nesday evening, nothing attracted so much attention ana comment as a re cently finished portrait of Sidney La nier by Miss Matiie Dowd, of Char-| lotte, who very generously offered it for exhibition on this occasion. To the large concourse of people it was a , source of joy that they could look upon 'the first real portrait of the great Southern poet, and of congratulation .that the artist is a North Carolinian, and has done her work admirably, i Miss Dowd has spent several months working on the portrait, having had frequent references with Mrs. Lanier and her sons, in New York, and with friends of the poet who knew him in Baltimore. Her task was a peculiarly difficult one for she had never seen Lanier and there is no adequate photo graph of him. With her artistic talent she had combined energy and patience and imagination, that makes her suc fcesa very marked. The fine complec 'tion, the delicate nose and the spiri tual eyes are especially noteworthy. Miss Dowd's portrait is likely to be come the standard portrait, and as such will be in demand wherever Lanier is admired. SKIN DISEASES HUMORS IN THE BLOOD "When the blood is pure, fresh and healthy, the skin will be soft, smooth and free from blemishes, but when some acid humor takes root in the circu ' lation its presence is manifested by a skin eruption or disease. These humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or sluggish condition of the members of the body whose duty it i 3 to collect and carry off the waste and refuse matter of the system. This unhealthy matter is left i to sour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged acid poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds. Eczema appears, usually with a slight redness of the skin followed by pustules from which there j flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. | It is generally on the back, breast, face, arms and legs, though other parts jof the body may be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks and bleeds; I the acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended ■ to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition and giving it a ■ hard, leathery appearance. Acne makes its appearance on the face in the ... . . . form of pimples and black heads, while I I suffered with Eczema for forty c c . , , , _ 1 years and could find nothing' to Psoriasis comes in scaly patches on diher -11 * . tri6 d S.
