PERU AND
BOLIVIA CLASH
Garrison on Froutier Surprised.
Many Reported Killed.
Boundary Dispute.
Lima, Peru, Dec. 9. According to
dispatches received here BoHf ian for
ces surprised and attacked the Peruvi
an garrison Guayabal on the Bolivian
fiui-ticr. A rtnnr engagement ensued
flaiJUJiohjnaDy of th-sTWuvlkns were
killed or wounded.
Peruvian troops have been .rushed to
the scene Tnere are fears that this
may lead to a' serious rupture between
the two countries.
The insurgents, under Ferro, have ta
ken refuge in Ecuador.
There was a serious boundary-dispuW
between Peru and Bolivia last year, but
on October 1909, a protocol, signed by
representatives of Peru and BoliviaJ.1
was ratified by the congresses of b"tb
countries. This apparently disposed of
the dispute arising from Bolivia's dis
inclination to accept the bourdary
award as mde by the arbitrator, Pres
ident Alcorta, of Argentina
Unity Is Strength
The bricks delivered on the Academy
Green, to be used for the walks, were
dumped by the teamsters in a disar
ranged manner. Noting this Supt
Craven made a brief talk to the pupils,
on how much and how quickly things
could be accomplished by united effort.
His hearers not only "tumbled," but
acted, and it was sho-t work for the
pupils, who turned out in numbers, to
have th scattered bricks arranged in
orderly piles.

J Burned.
i Wilmington, Dec. 9. Fire of suppos
ed ineinliary origin at Carolina Beach,:
summer resort, 15 miles below this
dty, late Wednesday night, destroyed
the hotel and pavilion, the property of
Captain John W. Harper, promoter' f
the beach, and bath houses, and two ' 2
story residences owned by H. A Kure-
of this city. The entire loss is estima
te i at $15, 0i)0 with practically no insur
ance.
It is almost certain that the Are was
or incenotary origin as there were no
people staying at the beach and no oc
casion existed for any fires in any of
the buildings.
The bio is quite a severe one to Car
olina Beach, as the season just closed
as a very successful one and Captain
Harper bad about closed negotiations
with northern capitalists for a lease of
the properties for pext summer. He
will rebuild immediately and on an even
more elaborate scale than before.

Mark Twain and the Preacher.
Upon one occasion lie was introduced
to a well known preacher, whose church
he had attended th'-) previous Sunday.'
The preacher vi niured to inquire how
he had enjoyed the discourse, when
Mark Twain replied that he would have
liked it better if it h id been original
The cleric looked at him in amazement
and inquired bis meaning, remarking'
that he pridad himself that every ser
mon he preached waa original.
Mark .Twain fixed him with a steely
eye. 'Then now comes it; sir, " he de
mMdad, sternly, "that I have in my
possession at home a book that contains
every word you uttered?" The preach
er looked more bewildered at tbis ques
tion thkn ever, and expressed a desire
to see Ibis' volume and TwajnlpromiBetf,
to post it to him the sarae evening. The
preacher waa greatly entertained to, re
ceive the neat day packet from the
humorist conta'cing a copy of an ordi
nary pocket dictionary.
