NEW COLLECTOR APPOINTED. AN ELOPING WIFE NEAR DEATH. ‘The North Carolina Internal Revenue | Determined to Kill Herself Because Muddle Settled by the President. ‘The internal revenue trouble in North Carolina has been settled by the action of the President in appointing Kerr Craige, of Salisbury, N.C. the | collector for the new fifth district. The three col- lection districts in North Carolina known as the fourth, fifth, and sixth were recently consolidated and two new districts created, named the fourth and fifth, The new fifth district included the whole territory of the old sixth, with the addl- | ‘tion of six counties taken from the old fifth, The effect of the consolidation was to leave Maj. C. | Dowd, the collector of the old sixth district, ; the only resident collector in the new fifth, and ; to make Collectors Yarborough and Boyd as resi dents of the new fourth district. ‘The recent order of consolidation designated Collector Boyd, a resl- dent of the fourth district, to be the colléctor of the new fifth district, in which Maj. Dowd resided. Senators Vance and Ransom and Representative Henderson recently called upon the President and laid the whole case before him. ‘The President considered the matter very carefully, and finally concluded that the only way out of the difficulty Was to select anew man. It was conceded that Collectors Boyd and Dowd had been faithful of! cers, Dut It was feared a decision in favor of either would necessarily wound the feelings of the other. Mr. Craige was therefore selected, tipon the rec- ommendation of Senators Vance and Ransom, who both heartily indorse him, He stands very ‘high in North Carolina and is a lawyer of ability. He enters upon the duties of his office on July 1. He fs a son of the late Hon. Burton Craige, member Of Congress for several successive terms. Mr. Kerr Cralge has served in the state legislature, and was nominated for Congress, but declined, The same convention nominated’ Hon. Jon 8. Henderson, who now holds the seat. 4 @0— PAVING AROUND THE A New Order for Direction of the Street Railway Companies. An important order was made by the District Commisstoners to-day. It authorizes the street railway companies to pave between the tracks with asphalt blocks, and between the rails of each track with granite blocks at the street intersec- tions. In his letter recommending this order Capt. Eugene Griffin states: “The law requires that inter-track spaces shalls be paved with Belgtan blocks, in case the Commts- stoners so direct, and at street intersections ‘the Pavement between the tracks of such railway Shall conform to the pavement used upon such street or avenue.’ The railway companies contend that this last quoted law does not apply to inter- Tail spaces, though the Commissioners’ order of May 14 ‘80 construes it. ‘They all seem Willing to, pave, with granite block and asphalt block, as I have previously recommended. Incase the compantes refuse to comply with the ‘Commissioners’ orders and the District undertakes the Work at the expense of the companies, we are met with the difficulty that there are no Belgian Dlocks on hand, and ‘the use of granite blocks might lead to dimiculties. Asphalt or distillate pavements could be laid bs the District at street intersections, but. in my opinion the asphalt pavement is preferable for sueh work. Capt. Grimin thinks that the asphalt btoc pavement, the first cost of which is less than the Belgian block, 1s, 80 far as the public 1s concerned, the best pavement of tke two for inter-track pur poses, War on the Caterpillars, WHY COL. WILSON IS NOT WILLING TO USE POISON IN; THE PARKS. Col. Wilson is in datly receipt of numerous com- munications requesting him to see that the trees in front of the writers’ residences are cleared of caterpillar nests. He is powerless in the matter, however, as his jurisdiction does not extend be- yond ine, teat cane Le SeuEeeD are still en; in hunt pests inthe par trees with ‘good results. Col. Wilson said to-day that he was adopting the best means of extermi- nation known to him. He did not doubt the effi- cacy of spraying the trees with a poisonous tone as has been proposed, but expressed an un- willingness tg adopt a measure that might do more ‘Tarn than good. “I would rather let every caterpillar escape than to harm one of the little children who thoroughly enjoy them- selves daily in the shady parks. One of their reatest pleasures is to Wander around under the tees and gather leaves. As children are not always ct ful about what they put in their mouths it would be very unwise to spray the leaves with poison, which might do more damage to the children than to the worms, There is no risk about finding the nests and destroying their contents, and that 1s the plan that we will pursue inthe parks. I agree fully with the man whosug- ssted that there should be a bug law just as here 1s a snow law.” ——-—_. ‘The Police Star Chamber. SECRET TRIAL OF POLICEMAN ROLFE IN THE FLOWEE- STEALING CASE. ‘The trial of Private Rolfe, of the Metropolitan Police, for taking magnolia bloom from one of the trees in the Capitol grounds was begun before the trial board to-day. Major Moore declined to allow reporters to be present ‘at the trial, because, he sald, the rules anc ulations do not provide for the trials to be In public, and because the pub- lcation of the proceedings would, in his opinion, not tend to the improvement of the force, but rather operate to 1ts detriment ‘The charge against Rolfe was the violation of one of the rules of the police manual, and it was Stated that he pleaded gulity and madea state- ment substantially the same as published in Tae Star yesterday. Several other officers were charged with violating the rules of the manual, and the members of the board were kept busy some time hearing the testimony. The cases were taken under consideration, and the findings will be promulgated in a few day: Ships for the New Navy. REPORT OF THE BOARD TO SELECT DESIGNS FOR TWO BIG ARMORED VESSELS. The board, consisting of Capt. Ramsey, Chief Engineer Kiersted, Commander Goodrich, Lieut. Knox, Assistant Naval Constructor Bowles and ‘Messrs. Burgess and Wilson, appointed to select suitable designs for a 6,000-ton armored cruiser and an armored vessel of the same size from the competitive designs received in answer to the De- Partiment’s offer Of $15,000 each for two accept- able plans, has reported in favor of the design of ‘an armored battle-ship submitted by the Barrow Shipbuilding Company, of Bara ‘This plan resents the somewhat remi ble feature of waving the water line well protected by heavy armor, and also the guns on the upper deck, Dut ot leaving the intermediate space between the upper and lower decks wholly without protection, there being nothing there of importance. The buoy- ancy of the ship is well assured by a deflective deck at the Lop of the water-line armor. The board came to no decision in the selection of a design for the armored cruiser, which ts practically an accept- ance of the Department plans tor this vessel, which ‘Were prepared by Naval Constructor Wilson, as Was confidently expected would be the case. It now transpires that the disagreement in the board ‘at the time of the first report was with relation to the armored crulser, but all were agreed upon the desirability of adopting the plans of the Barrow Co. for the battle-ship. The armored cruiser will probably be constructed at the New York navy- yard, and the preparations forthe great under- taking are well under way. It will be it by hired labor, under the supervision of Chief Naval Constructor Wilson and his assistants. Plans for the armored cruisers were received from the Barrow Ship-Bullding Co., England; Lieut. W. I, Chambers, U. 8. Navy; M."T. Clayton, Aukland, New Zealand; A. H. ‘Grandjean, st.

A Washington special to the New York World, June 14, says: “A case of a somewhat sensational nature is about to be brought upin the courts here.

Report of tho Investigating Committee. ‘The report of the committee appointed by the Doard of directors of the American Telephone | Company is as follows, with the exception of the Tesolution, which is printed elsewhere: “Wo first went over all the accounts; found everything right and square to a cent, The money used in procuring the concession, charter, books, ‘and conducting the business of the company, has been pald out of the original payments by the members of the board whoorganized the company. ‘There has been no need to use any of the cash re ceived for stock sold to others than the directors, The parties and outfit sent to Venezuela to put up lines and arrange for extensive operations are provided for, and are now in Cara- cas. We will hear from ‘our agent by the first steamer. The cash received for stock sold by order of the board isin bank. We found, after the Tuilest investigation of every paper and ‘fact _con- nected with the enterprisé, that the business of the company has been conducted with good judg- ment and fidelity. We found the concessions covers nine and three years, covering the exclu- sive right in this company 'to incroduce and use telephones in the United states of Vene- zuela, excepting four cities, and, in regard to those’ cities, without concession’ we have the right, though not the exclusive right, to put up ‘phones. And we are assured, by letter, the au- thenticlty of which we have no reason whatever to doubt, that the concession to Padron has been extended to cover those cities; and further, president of the republic of Venezuela has agreed to extend the term of the nine to twelve Years’ concession to thirty-five years. It 1s not complete, but the evidence before the board ed from Gen. Padron to Constl-General Gonzales satisfled us that the concession concerning such extension would be received by the next steamer. The exact fa were stated in the prospectus. ‘The circular the secretary, which stated that the thirty-five Years’ extension was secured, stated it toostrongly. We have had the fullest’ conference with thé highest oMicials of the Venezuelan government in {ns country. We went over each and every polnt in the concession touching the rights, privileges, and Mmitations granted and imposed upon thé company. We had full confirmation of the fact that the company which formerly had a ‘conces- sion had, by reason of bad service and breach of contract, their concession revoked. We were as- sured that our company would do a good business, though possibly not so lange as some parties inter sted anticipated. We ascertained that the gov- ernment and the people were anxious to have the introduction of the system begun at once, and prosecuted vigorously. In all these interviews we could learn nothing to discourage, embarrass, or annoy the company. We found competitors inthe feld here. They Were, and ure now, ready and willing to purchase the franchise now’ owned by Unis company, if by hook or crook we can be pre- Vented from ‘commencing operations within the time fixed by the concession, But, unfortunately for the efforts of our competitors, We have begun operations in the republic of Venezuela. ‘The press has been imposed upon, and very nat urally, DY reason of the fact that one member of the board is found to have a bad record im the past. ‘The inferences, since he had been the chiet promoter of the enterprise in its inception, were of course all against the company. But 1t will be observed that the board 1s composed of men who stand as high in the esteem ot their fellows and enjoy as clear character as any men in the coun- Uy, and, although it was natural to conclude that there was something wrong, there Is found nothing: save the fact above Mentioned to justify it. 1t1s a little singular that not one complaint has reached the company from the stockholders. The complaints come from those who have, so far as We know, no interest whatever in the enterprise.” PRESIDENT BUTTERWORTH STATED toa Stam reporter to-day that tne position made vacant by the resignation of Vice-President Tyrer would not be filled for some days yet. It was also stated at the office to-day that so far none of the stockholders had come in and asked to have their money refunded, Eee THE CLOSE OF THE SCHOOLS, The Colored High School Commence- ments—The Scholarships, The college scholarships offered to the High School pupils were awarded last night at the school board.
