Road has Been Sold Through Messrs. Unjth MacRae fc Co. It will be a Ills Thine: lor Wilmington and "Wrlchts Tllle Beach. X rumor was current early yesterday that the ."Wilmington Seacoast Railroad "between "Wilmington and "Wrightsville beach had been sold through the house of Messrs. Hugh MacRae & Co., bank ers and brokers, of this city. A Messenger representative on yes terday called on Mr. Hugh MacRae to ascertain whether such a sale had been effected. To a question in that con nection he said his house has closed a deal by which the road has been sold and that it will go into entirely, new hands. He said, however, he was not able yet to give out the particulars of the transaction. Mr. MacRae said further that it was the intention of the new owners to con vert the present steam railroad into an electric line, if it is found practical to do so. An electrical engineer has al ready been over the road and will report to the purchasers what his recommen dations are. It Is pretty certain, how ever, that the line will not only be con Verted into a trolley line but that "Wrightsville beach and the summer re Borts on Wrightsville and Masonboro sounds will be lighted by electricity. The Messenger learns on good au thority that there is little doubt that an electric line will be found practical and that it will be in operation by next sea Eon. Mr. MacRae says if the plans for a trolly line are decided upon, it is the intention of the new company to run its lines right up into the city so pas sengers can be picked up right on the streets and whisked straight through to Wrightsvile beach. "We hear on the outside also that in all probability the Wilmington Street Hallway Company and the Wilmington Gaslight Company's gas and electric lighting plant .will be consolidated in the scheme for an electric light to the beach. No definite information could, however, be secured on this point, and it Is thrown in with the real facts In the case for what it is worth. The Wilmington Seacoast Railroad runs from Wilmington by way of Wrightsville to Wrightsville beach, the line embracing about eleven miles of track including nearly two miles of track running down the beach to Ocean "View. The deal means a great deal for Wilmington and Wrightsville beach whether the line is to be an electric one or not. but if the plans for a trolly system are carried out it will be of still greater advantage. It ' will not only afford better facilities for reach ing the beach but a trolly line will make not only the visit to the beach enjoyable but the trip itself will be an exceedingly delightful one.

Virginia-Carolina Chemical Buys Oil Mills Savannah. Ga., July 24-The oil mill and guano factory at Washington, Ga., is reported today to have been sold to the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Com pany. The property will be transferred in about ten days. The price paid is not linown. The mills are among the larg est in the state outside of this city. A dispatch from Dublin. Ga., says the oil mill at that place, sold a few days ago to the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company, will be operated as a part of the Southern Cotton Oil Company. H. A.

Scattered thun der showers In the northern tier of sttates In the central west today gave some relief In that locality from the intense heat. These showers which generally were light in character oc curred In the Dakotas. southern Minne sota, northwestern Iowa, the extreme northern portion of Illinois. In Minne sota and in Michigan. More showers over a wider area are expected by the weather bureau tomorrow. Their ef fect, however, will be only temporary and warm weather is again predicted for Friday.' In the great corn belt the intense heat still continues and there seems to be no. immediate prospect of a general rain, though the fact that showers are becoming more general than for some days is encouraging to the officials here who hope they may be the forerunner of a general break up of the heat and drought conditions, al though the forecaster will not say this is a probability. For tomorrow showers are indicated for the region from the Dakotas east ward and there is a possibility of show ers in Nebraska. Colorado, northern Illinois. northern Indiana, and northern Ohio. If they come they al ways bring temporary relief from the heat and their reflex effect may be ex perienced in slightly reducing tempera atures in the southern states of the corn belt. " The maximum temperature line of 100 degrees today again encircled the up per Mississippi valley, lower Missouri valley and the middle and lower Ohio valley. St. Louis reported a tempera ture of 108 and St. Paul one of 104 de grees, both record breaking. Kansas City, Mo., July 24.

Between England and the Boers to be Undertaken by Emperor William London, July 23. "The rumor as to early peace negotiations which has per vaded the house of commons for some days", says The Daily Express "has taken the more definite form that Em peror William is soon to assume the role of peace-maker. Mr. Kruger and his advisors are represented as having empowered the kaiser to act for the Boers, and he is considered willing to take the initiative In order to popular ize his relations with the German peo ple who disapprove his friendship for Great Britain. Something apparently is on foot, whether Emperor William is in or not." Mr. Kruger's arrival at The Hague is connected. The Dail Press thinks, with the rumored peace suggestions. A Violent Storm In London London, July 25 A phenomenal thunder storm, accompanied by hail and incessant lightning, raged for a couple of hours In London this afternoon. The streets were turned into rivers. The water, overflowing the sidewalks, en tered dwellings and poured down every opening. The underground railway was flooded and trains were stopped. The storm flooded Mrs. Langley's new theatre, the Imperial, A number of public buildings were damaged. The crops in the country surrounding Lon don were laid low and the telegraph wires torn down. Several suburban transportation lines are temporarily blocked as a result of the downpour, the water, in some cases, reaching over the foot boards of the trains. Dwelling Wrecked by Gas Explosion Manchester, Mass-, July 25. The summer residence of James Means, of Boston, at Manchester-by-the-sea was burned tonight as the result of a gas explosion, seven of the eleven persons in the house being more or less injured, one possibly fatally Miss Kelms, of Philadelphia, who was a guest of the Means family. Both of her arms and legs were broken and her breast bone fractured and she was severely cut on the forehead. About 9 o'clock this even ing the odor of gas permeated the house and Mr. Means started for the basement where the gas machine was situated, to locate the trouble. As he entered the basement a terrific explo sion occurred breaking all the windows in the house which immediately caught fire and the flames enveloped the build ing almost instantly.

PORTO RICO ANNEXED THE ISLAND NOW MADE A PART OF THESE UNITED STATES. THE PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION Establishing Free Trade Between'tne Island and These United States and Declaring the Formation of a Local Civil Government lor the Island. Text of the Proclamation Official Notice to all Port Collectors of Es tablishment of Free Trade. Washington, July 25. The president today Issued his proclamation estab lishing free trade between Porto Rico and the United States and declaring the organization of a civil government for the island. The proclamation is purely formal, and only in the body of the resolutions adopted by the Iorto Rican legislature (heretofore publish ed) does it appear that the island is set free commercially today in commem oration of the anniversary of the plant ing of the American flag on the island. The proclamation is headed: "CESSATION OF TARIFF PORTO RICO." It recites that the act of April 12, 1900 (otherwise known as the Foraker Act) provided that whenever the Porto Rican legislature has enacted and put into operation a system of local taxa tion to meet the needs of the govern ment and by resolution so notified the president, the latter shall issue a proc lamation and all duties on goods pass ing between the United States and Por to Rico shall cease. As the legislature has complied with that requirement of the act in terms set out in resolutions, which are quoted in full in the body of the proclamation, that document says; "Therefore, I, William McKinley, president of the United States, in pur suance of the provisions of law above quoted, and upon the foregoing due notification, do hereby issue this my proclamation and so declare and make known that a civil government for Porto Rico has been organized In ac cordance with the provisions of the said act of congress. "And I do fuither deciare and make known that the legislative assembly of Porto Rico has enacted and put into operation a system of local taxation to meet the necessities of the government of Porto Rico. . "In witness thereof ,1 have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. "Done at the City of Washington this Twenty-fifth day of July, in the year of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and One, and of the Independence of the United States the One Hundred and 1 wenty-sixth. (Seal.) WILLIAM M'KINLEY. By the president. DAVID J. HILL, Acting Secretary of State." Washington, July 25. Assistant Sec retary Spaulding today gave tele graphic notice to all collectors of cus toms that free trade exists on and after today between the United States and Porto Rico. The telegrams read as fol lows : "Merchandise going into Porto Rico from the United States, or coming into the, United States from Porto Rico, withdrawn from warehouses is exempt from duty on and after July 25,1901, un der Section 3, Act of April 12, 1900, and resolution and proclamation pursuant thereto." The Fosburjrh Murder Trial Pittsfield, Mass., July 25 In the Forburgh manslaughter case today Mrs. R. L. Forburgh, the gray haired mother, went upon the witness stand and told in simple words how her daughter was killed. Her story was given with frequently uncontrolled emotion. Her voice failed her and she shed tears. Miss Bertha Sheldon, a guest in the Fosburgh home on the night of the tragedy was another important witness. By her testimony the defense wished to show that there were burglars in the house and that they were seen by little Beatrice Fosburgh. There was a long argument between counsel over the government's objec tions to the admission of this evidence, but the court finally allowed it to go in, because what was said was spoken in the presence of the defendant. Miss Sheldon was relating the s.ory of her awakening by a "piercing scream" and declared that she opened the door leading to May Fosburgh's room and cried: "What is the mat ter?" Robert. Beatrice and her father and mother were in the room at the time. Witness saw the body of May upon the floor and at that instant Beatrice replied: "Burglars have en tered the house and shot May." Mrs. Fosburgh was the last witness for the defense and immediately after her testimony was concluded the de fense rested. At the close of the session Judge Stevens, with the counsel for both sides, retired to the ante-room t where Mr. Joyner, for the defense, made a long argument on the question of his sug gestion that the judge order a verdict of not guilty. The result is not known officially but it is understood that ar guments will be made in the case at the opening of the session tomorrow. Burglar Bound Over to Court In the municipal court yesterday morning Mayor Waddell gave a hear ing to Mack Taylor, the negro who was captured in Mr. George R. French's residence on Wednesday night. He was bound over to the superior court in a bond of $250 and not being able to give it he was sent to Jail.. Ed Connor, colored, who was arrested at 2:15 o'clock yesterday morning on a statement made by Mack Taylor that he broke into Mr. French's house with, was also given a hearing. Taylor was the only witness and he testified that he was drunk when he made the state ment and that there was no truth in it. Conner was therefore discharged. Af ter being taken to Jail, however, Taylor reaffirmed that Ed Conner did, enter the house with him. The police department is satisfied, however, that Conner had no connection, with the burglary but that some one else was in the house with Taylor and succeeded in getting out while Taylor got caught. Taylor is an inveterate thief. He had only recently completed a term of 12 months an the county roads for steal ing harnesss from Mr. Geo. E. Pope. Before chat he had been in the peni tentiary for two years for stealing a mule in Raleigh and riding it to Wil mington to dispose of. He sold it to Mr. S.'W. Sanders. He went back to Raleigh on an excursion and was cap tured by the officers" and sent to the penitentiary. Mack's Wouderlnl Physical Power When .Newton languidly gazed at the falling apples, curiously wondering what unseen force put them in motion, he evolved the princlp'-r- of gravitation which the world has accepted In Its computations through all the years that have intervened since that ti m NO ne has dared to deny th thorv that he advanced, no one has produced a better one. If the day of miracles has passed, there has been a young man in this city during the past week who laughs at the rule of gravity and sets at variance scientific theories. R, H. Mack is a physical phenomenon. He has travel ed in every clime, exhibited in every large city of the old or the new world challenging any man to lift him from his feet. He has uiet all of the strong men of the world, Sandow, Cry, Ken nedy, Sharkey, Jeffries, Fitzsimons. and others, but none of these giants of strength have been able to lift his little 120 pounds from the floor. He has been examined by such famous scientists as Virchow in Berlin and Chacot in Paris and baffled them with his strange pow er. Virchow calls ability to withstand strength in the manner that he does "the force of nerve resistance." Pro fessor Sargent, of Harvard, would ad vance no theory beyond a sort of per sonal magnetism. He cannot explain Mack's peculiar gift, nor does he know how he acquired it. When Mack was S years old. then living in Brooklyn, he returned from school one day without the usual merit card which was given for proficiency in studies. His father reproached him for his lack of study. Toung Mack involuntarily threw up his hands to protect himself and touch ed his father's flesh; the father could not lift him to his parental lap to in flict the usual punishment, and, struck with surprise and awe, let the lad go. From that time on young- Mack was considered as a sort of spiritualistic marvel and traveled around as such with a local medium. After he was 14 he began for himself and traveled all over the world. He once exhibited before Li Hung Chang, and the vener able statesman remarked that he ought to be rich seeing that he had such a grip on the earth. In giving his exhibitions he does not seem to exert any force whatever be yond a sort of mental action which is invisible to the observer. He states that he feels a sort of mental weak ness after each exhibition which soon passes away. Mack is a slight young fellow without the slightest appearance of strength, and really has but little aside from his almost supernatural power. He weighs slightly less than 120 pounds, but giants in comparison cannot budge him- He will smilingly look at the modern Samsons, and with out evidencing any fatigne will be the strongest of them in their efforts to lift him. He has no reason whatever to give for his peculiar power; in fact, he has never stopped to .consider what it is. Besides the power he has himself, he can impart his power or whatever it is, Und compel them to resist the strength of strong men. By placing his hands on a dog he can prevent him from go ing to his master when called. He formerly could stop a horse from mov ing by simply laying on his hands, but as his power is decreasing with years he cannot always do this now. Mat Hinkel and several local athletes have tested the strange strength of the young man, but could not lift him. Mack gave an exhibition before a rep resentative of the press in a local gal lery in this city. When a person of nearly twice his weight attempted to lift him he did it easily, but when ask ed to do so again he could not do it, strain as he might. Mack, when he wishes to resist one, places one finger on the neck and one on the wrist of the other person. The mysterious force moves quickly, and whether it is mag netism or what not, the lifter is foiled. It seems the easiest thing in the world to one of ordinary strength to lift this frail boy, but he is not to be moved. It is not to be understood that he can not be pushed or shoved, all he claims is a straight lift, catching him around the waist and lifting straight up. During the exhibition Mack placed his hands on a little street urchin, probably weighing seventy-five pounds, but the lifter could not budge him. He next permitted two men to make an ef fort to lift him, but they too failed. During this he preserved a calmness and nonchalance that was marvelous considering the resistance that he had to overcome Cleveland Plaindealer. Discoverers ot America In Harper's, Professor Fryer, of the University of California, brings to light new evidence tending to prove that Buddhist priests discovered America 1,000 years before the sailing of Colum bus. The evidence is both documentary and substantial. Of the evidence of early Chinese documents Professor Fryer says: ''The narrative states that there was a Buddhist priest named Hul Shen, originally a native of Kabul, who in the year 499 A. D., during the reign of the Emperor Yung Yuan, came from the country, of Fusang to Kingchow, the capital of the dynasty of Tsi, situ ated on the river Yang-tse. The coun try being in a state of revolution, it was not till the year 502 that he had an op portunity of going to the court of the Emperor Wu Ti of the new Liang dy nasty. He gave presents to the em peror of curious articles brought from Fusang, among which was a material looking like silk, but the threads of which could support a great weight without breaking. This was evidently the fiber of the Mexican agave. He also presented a mirror of a foot in diameter possessing wonderful properties and re sembling those in Mexico and other localities in America at that time. The emperor treated him as an envoy from Fusang and deputed one of the four principal feudal lords, named Yu Kie, to interrogate him respecting the coun try and to take down his story In writ ing. This was accordingly done, and we have what is undoubtedly the orig inal text, with only perhaps here an4 there a typographical error which can be easily explained. "Among other things. Hul Shen said that the people of Fusang were form erly in ignorance of the doctrines of Buddha, but doing the reign of the Chinese Emperor Ta Ming, of the Sung dynasty, or A- D. 458. there were five bikshus, or Buddhist monks, from Ka bul, who traveled there and promulgat ed the knowledge of the doctrines, books and images of Buddhism. Their labors were successful, so that they or dained monks from among the natives, and thus the customs and manners of the people were soon reformed. "He gave particulars of the journey through the Aleutian island and Alaska with the length of the route and a de scription of the inhabitants. He describ ed the country of Fusang as 20,000 II. or 6.500 miles, to the east of Kamchat ka and also due east from China. It grows reat numbers of fusang trees, which when they first appear above groud are like bamboo shoou, and the people eat them. . Threads are spun from the skin of the plant, which are woven into cloth from which clothing Is made, or else St Is mad Into em broidery. They also use the fibrous material of the fusanc for maklnz pa- jper. These and many other ffaturcs seem to point unmistakably to the Mexican agave. Red pears are men tioned, which agree in description with the fruit of the prickly pear, while grapes are represented as plentiful- There Is plenty of copper, but no iron. and no money value is put on gold or silver. Their markets are free, and there are no fixed prices. "The manners and customs of the peo ple, their, forms of government, their marriage" and funeral ceremonies, their food and clothing, the method of con structing their houses, the absence of soldiers and military weapons- cities and fortresses are all particularly not ed and agree with what Is found in no countries bordering on the Pacific except on the continent of America In general and In Mexico In particular. To suppose that Hui Shen cculd have In vented all these statements and that his story can be satisfactorily explain ed upon any other theory than that he had actually made the Journey which he so truthfully and soberly describes. is. to say the least of it. absurd."
