NEW BERN'S BLAZE Heavy Losses by Fire With but Little Insurance New Bern. N. C July 9. Special. Fire burst from S. H. Scott's livery stables, last night at 10:30 o'clock. At one time it looked as if a portion of the business district would be laid' In ashes. But for the heroic work of the firemen New Bern would have suffered a great loss.

C July 9. Special. The management of the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad seems deter mined to give the patrons of the road the best service possible , and to at ford every opportunity for those who wish to visit North Carolina's fash ionable and attractive seaside resort at Morehead City. In addition to run ning two trains from this . city - to Morehead every day in the week there will be added another on Sunday, which will make three passenger trains each way Sunday. The public is famil iar with the regular schedule. The new train will leave hereout 7 o'clock Sunday morning, one hour ahead of the regular train, and will reach More- head City at 10.50. This train will leave Morehead at night at 9:50,, which will give eleven hours on the seashore. The regular Sunday morning train will leave here at 8 o'clock and return as usual In the evening. This new train will be an added con venience which 'the public will not fall to appreciate, but while the ex ecutive officers of the road are trj-ing to give their patrons such an excel lent service we hope they will permit a suggestion which would prove v?ry popular with the public; that4 is,: to make an accommodation train out of the special, which leaves here at 7 o'clock Sunday morning make all the stops with this train and have the train which leaves here at 8 o'clock to stop at LaGrange, Klnston .and New Bern. This order of service could be repeated in the evening.' l( Have the early train to make all the, stops and make a through train of the later spe cial. , The greatest objection to ' a . trip to Morehead City on Sunday is the long and tedious ride. If a through train were put on with a fast schedule this only one objection would be removed and the crowds would be larger.

Officers "of the army are opppsed to the promotion on j the ground that it will block for a great many yeara the advancement of some of the older-officers in the ser vice. General Wood will not retire until October 9, 1904, and his promo tion to major geheral will make him, in a few years, senior major general of the army and . in line ; for advance ment to be lieutenant general. Should he be given .this rank he will be In position to hold, it so long that no officer of rank above that of major now in the. service' would be able to secure the grade of lieutenant general before his time of retirement. PETTIGOEW STREET Another Durham Street That Promisesjto Make History Durham, NC,r July 9. Special. There was a st e'eial njetUjg. of th board of city aldermen this morning held for the purpose of passing an orr der forbidding the Southern Railway from taking possession of -Pettigrew street. It looks very much : like there was going to be more litigation and a lot of it a parallel case with the now famous,- Peabody street litigation. .. Pettigrew street runs alongside the Southern road, on the ODbosite side from Peabody street. A few days ago the board of aldermen received a re quest from the Southern for permission to put in a side track along the side of this street. It has since developed that it was the Intention of the South ern to run a track ui the street to Chapel Hill street, a distance of about the length of three blocks, and that, while a portion of the distance would be on the side of the street, at one place for auite a distance the track would be in the middle of th street, a newly macadamized street. j A special meeting of the aldermen was called for yesterday afternoon. but it was impossible to -et a quorum, and another meeting was called this morning at 11 o'clock. Tn the mean time the mayor and four members of the board of aldermen visited th lo cality and looked over the situation. At the meeting thl3 morning an o- der was passed forbidding the South ern to lay a 'track uo tn? side of tha street further than tha intersection of Carr street, about one-fourth of the distance to Chapel Hill street, and for bidding even any of this section to be on the macadamized part of the street. jj Just what will be done about the matter remains to ba seen. If the Southern respects the order of the board then there will be. no trouble; but if this is not done the courts will be ap plied to for protection. If , necessary, an injunction will be asked for by tne city authorities. Up to the present time, however, the Southern has shown no disposition to continue the track up the street. In fact that point has not been reached. Circulators Elect Officers Asheville, N. C, July 9. pecial. At the closing session of the southern, newspaper circulators this afternoon W. W.

England Gives President Loubet a Great Send-off - King Edward Cordial and the People Demonstrative. Sentiments of Friend ship at the Part ing Hour London, July 9. The visit of Presi dent Loubet to London was brought to a close this morning when the French chief magistrate left the Vic toria station for Dover. The scenes and incidents of his departure testified to how the republican president, by his unassuming dignity- and cordial sin cerity, had captured all classes and won that popular good will which sov ereigns have been unable to achieve. Despite the earliness of the departure crowds lined the route from St. James place to the railway station and Brit ish "hurrah3" and French "vive Lou bets" re-echoed through the streets un til the president had entered the sta tion. J As M. Loubet's carriage drew up Iving Edward - advanced with outstretched hand, and staking the president by the arm, led him through the waiting room dent on the shoulder. ouciar as weu tine Party Old Alliance of the Solid South and the Empire State Former Ob jection Out of Date ' BY THOMAS J. VKNCB Washington, July 9. Special. -Th Washington Times this afternoon, dis cusses at length the possibility of Shepard and Aycock as the nominees for the Democratic party next year. The Times says, among other things "A new Democratic banner has been flung to the breeze. It bears the names of Shepard and Aycock. For president, JSdward M. Shepard, promi nent citizen of .Brooklyn borough, N. Y., and - former candidate for niayor; for vice president, Charles B. Aycock, governor of North Carolina. This sug gestion for a renewal of the old alli ance of the solid soith and New York ought to cause Democrats to stop and consider. "Of the Hon. Edward ;M. Shepard. the general public knows much; it knows of his opposition to the regular Democratic ticket in 1896 because of the silver plank in the platform, of his return to the fold four years later, and his support of Bryan on the. issut of anti-imperialism, of his unsuccess-' ful canvass for mayor two years ago on the Tammany ticket, and of his re cent efforts to harmonize the divided factions of Democracy, and with it there is a suspicion that Mr. Sheprfrd,. who had never avowed himself one way or the other, is willing to be con sidered a candidate for president. , "Of Governor Aycock, probably not so much is known, although he is cer tainly entitled to careful consideration. He is regarded, by those who know him and his record, as one of the ablest men in public offic4 in the south to day. He is brilliant aid an orator of ability, and has givq North Carolina a clean administration. "The old : objection of a candidate from a secession state should not hold against him, for ie is so young as scarce to remember even in a vague sort of a way any of the stirring events of the early sixties. He is greatly be loved by the people of the state; schol arly, conservative, earnest and con scientious, and if a southern man Is to be chosen by the Democracy he is en titled to first consideration." Captain Robert Johnson,- secretary hand disbursing officer of the Califor nia Debris Commission, has been as signed to duty at Wilmington as officer in charge of engineering work there. He will relieve Captain E. E. Wins low. , , Thomas S. Rollins, chairman, of the Republican state executive committee, arrived in Washington today to take up with the post office department and several other departments appoint- . ments to -be made soon, Ex Judge W. S. O'B. Robinson, nation al committeeman, is expected here to morrow to confer with Mr. . Rollins about some of these.

After renewed handshaking his maj esty showed the president into the royal car and stood chatting with him until the train pulled out amid cheers and shouts of "Vive Loubet" mingled with the strains of the "Marseillaise." President Loubet stood, at a window I of the car, waving his hat in his gloved hand until the royal special disappeared from view. ; Upon his arrival at Dover M. Loubet embarked on the French, cruiser Gul chen, and the vessel sailed at once for Calais, escorted by a British torpedo flotilla, and followed by farewell' sa lutes from the fleet and castle. Be fore his departure from Dover Presi dent Loubet telegraphed to King Ed ward, thanking him for the hearty re ception accorded him "as the repre sentative of France, the friend of Eng land." The text of M. Loubet's telegram to the king follows: "At the moment of leaving British soil I am anxious to address to your majesty, an expression of my II vest gratitude for the reception your majes ty and her majesty, th queen, the . royal family and the British nation extended to me as the representative of France, the friend of England."
