Saturday, December 9, is the date set for the laying of the cornerstone (it Wilmington's new half-million dol lar customhouse, which will be done ltnder the auspices of the Wilmington Council of the Knights of Columbus. This detail, with others, was decided upon at a meeting last night of the committee of arrangements appointed from the Knights of Columbus. Mr. George P. Galvin, Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus, will ac-1 ed all with a vocal solo is being engaged in supposedly by members of the Seminole's crew at Wrightsville Beach and Mr. J. M. Hew lett, who owns and operates a fishing boat with two others was in the city this morning exhibiting steel bullets that he declared were pried out of his boat after having been fired across the inlet. Mr. Hewlett left a few of theae bullets in city room of The Dispatch office as souvenirs but kept enough to offer as evidence if anyone cared to dispute his assertion that the firing was of a reckless nature. The fisher man declared the boat had been almost riddled, adding that $100 would no more than repair the damage to his craft. Another statement of the irate fisherman was that the firing on the! beach had driven his crew from the boat and that it was fortunate that no one was hit by the missels which came screaming across the inlet. He added that practically all fishermen had been driven from the beach 'because of the reckless shooting. The biggest damage seems to have been done on last Tuesday but no com plaint was voiced because the fisher men did not know who was doing the shooting and as Mr. Hewlett express ed it all they could safely do was seek cover. He declared that drum fishing was fine on that day but no one cared to brave the danger of stopping one of the many steel bullets that were whin ing overhead for a few drum, regard less of their size and beatuy. The fisn ermen obeyed the law of self preser vation and sought cover, according to the spokesman of their party. As Mr. Hewlett explained this morn ing .the target practice would not in terfere with the fishing if the targets were so arranged that the firing would be out to sea and not across the inlet as he contends it is at present. 'Mr. Hewlett and the other fishermen did not know who was doing the shooting until the bullets were pried from the Hewlett boat and while this evidence was not conclusive the nature of the bullets caused them to suspect tWifrom the stockade to the point they - . . . - ,J i a JS X TTTlt the firing was being done by tne crew of the Seminole. ship at W-'-L. I. A handsome bronze memorial tab let of the United States battleship Maine, which was sunk in Havana, Cuba, harbor, February 15, 1898, has been placed on the walls of the en trance of the armory of the Wilming- during the bleak winter months. The ton Eight Infantry, on Market street, change means much to the prisoners as the warm shanties at the stockade bear no resemblance to the cages that are used for housing the convicts dur ing the summer months. On days when it is too cold and wet for the men to work they can be made comfortable at the stockade but such an arrange ment was impossible at the East Wil mington camp which was really noth ing more than a summer camp. The gang has been cutting a road from Winter Park to East Wilmington, connecting the Wrightsville turnpike with the Scott's Hill road and continu ing due north connects with the Gor don road. The county commissioners intend to continue road to Wrightsboro which will mean a cross country road running due north from Winter Park to Wrightsboro, a distance approxi mating six miles. Th'e road is what is known as a top soil rad and furnishes excellent driving. The new road is a very important lat eral connecting the Wrightsville. turn pike, Scott's Hill, the Gordon and the Castle Haynes road at Wrightsboro and furnishes the Truckers Co-opera tive Association with easy access to j Sub stations For Handling Parcel Post four different railroad sidings. j Matter to be Established.

A figure of the Goddess of Liberty, with head bowed down with sorrow, is shown overlooking the wreck of the Maine.

In fact they are en gaged just now in the work of widening the old mill dam on Smith's creek near the Roger Moore brick yard.

The committee have not yet secured the principal speaker of the occasion, but an invitation has been extended to a very prominent person in public life. Mayor P. Q. Moore has been asked to introduce the speaker. .Mr. Galvin, chairman of the com mittee on arrangemens, stated today that invitations would be extended to all government, city, , and county of ficials, as well as all of the local fra ternal and civic societies to partici pate. One of the big features of the occa sion will be the parade that will pre cede the laying of the stone. The de tails of this feature have not yet been worked out, but it is Ttnown that many organizations, societies, etc., will take part. The parade will take place at 3:15 o'clock, while the cor ner stone exercises will staft at 3:45 o'clock. The committee arranging for the Program of the exercises is com posed of tne following: Messrs. George P. Galvin, James Owen Reil b. Charles A.. Rodgers, J. J.

D., pastor of the First Baptist church, delivered a strong sermon at the Wtnter Park Baptist church last night on "Mis sions." Special emphasis was laid up on the words "go" and "so." The services were well attended and the musical program that was rendered was a distinct feature. The violin solo by Mrs. J. D. Edwards, accom panied by Mr. A. H. Yopp, was very pleasing and Mrs. E. G. Woody delight- She was ac companied by violin and piano. WILL PROBABLY REMAIN. Rev. O. T. Mattox Extended Another Call at Adventist Church. Rev. O. T. Mattox, who for the past several years has been pastor of the Advent Christian church, corner Fourth and Church streets, has been extended! another call by the con gregation of tljat church. Owing to the fact that this church selects its minister every year it is necessary to extend a call to a min ister each year at this time. Mr. Mattox has served very efficiently here.

It was not necessary for, Santa Claus to drill down Princess street yesterday afternoon to remind one that the Christmas season is almost upon us, but the appearance of the likeable chap, whose home is sup posed to be in the cold, drear North ern regions and who visits all chil dren yearly, with his bag of toys and candies, opened wide the eyes of the many children who happened to be on the streets and brought pleasant recollections to the minds of the grown-ups, for it has not been such an awful long while since they looked eagerly forward to the coming of Santa Claus. As stated above, it was not neces sary for Santa to appear in full rega lia to remind that Christmas is al most with us, for there is that some thing in the atmosphere that denotes the approach of the happiest season of all. The air seems to carry a tang of the happy season and the manner in which the young lady draws her furs closer about her throat reminds one that the Yuletide season is rapid ly drawing nearer. The display windows of the vari ous down-town shops are beginning to take on an appearance denoting the approach of the happy season and already counters and shelves are groaning under their burden of toys.

The Dispatch predicted that Field Deputy Kelly would be retained and that Office Deputy Cronly would be re-appointed. In officially announc ing his staff yesterday the incoming sheriff eliminated the gentlemen The Dispatch predicted he would and re tained the others. ' OFFICER KILLED HORSE. Animal Broke Hip When He Slipped And Fell Yesterday Afternoon. He was only a "plug," according to eye witnesses, but he was doing a well fed horse's work and when he slipped and fell at the corner of Grace and Sixth streets yesterday afternoon a broken hip was the result. The horse lay there all afternoon suffer ing intense agony and excruciating pain and early last night Officer Long ended his misery with a bullet from his Colt. The fall crippled the ani mal to such an extent that recovery was impossible and the act of the officer was a humane one. The horse was hitched to a cart and persons who looked upon his shrunken body did , not wonder that he was unable to stand up under the work he was do ing. He slipped and fell and crippled j himself and the officer ended his mis- I FOX HUNT THURSDAY. YOUNG GIRL TO BE TRIED FOR ARSON. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 28. A sixteen-year-old girl may-be tried for arson, which, is a capital crime, at the next session of the Superior Court in At: lanta.

The American-made doll will compare very favorably with the one manu factured in Germany and this means that litle difficulty will be experi enced in attending to the wants of the girlies. Already telegrams to local depart ment stores from Santa Claus are being flashed on the screens at the movie theatres which would lead one to believe that the white-bearded fel low is packing his various grips and bags and preparing for his long trip South. The many cartloads and wagon loads of turkeys that are to be seen daily on the streets is another re minder that Christmas is approach- The neighbors testified that they, ing, yet many of these will adorn saw the girl pour the contents of a the center of the table on Thanksgiv 'can, presumably oil, on a trash pile ing Day.
