Who Died on Friday Afternoon. On last Sunday Mr. B. J. Jacobs left for Charleston, S- C, to hecome acting general agent of the Atlantic Coast - Line in that city. He went there to fill the place of Mr. Robert tB. Grice. v who was desperately ill with typhoid - fever. Mr. Grice passed away on Fri day evening" ahd this means that Mr. Jacobs wni te permanently appointed . "agent. Mr. Jacobs has been in the employ of thre Atlantic Coast Line for more - than twenty years and is a most com peterit railroad man. He was for a long time In the freight department but during the past ten years has been in the auditing department. The Charleston News and Courier of ' the 13th instant contains the following in regard to Mr. Grice's death. To a great many people in Charles ton and elsewhere the announcement of the death of Mr. Robert B. Grice, which occurred at hi3 residence, 311 Meeting street, at 6 o'clock yesterday evening, will be a shock, for it is less than two weeks, since Mr Grice was attending to his duties as freight agent of the 'Atlantic Coast Line. He had been un well for some time before he gave up . and went to his bed. but his relatives and friends did not realize how very near he was to the. end. Mr. Grice was born in Charlestin in 1S61 and. after studying some time in the public schools, attended the Porter (Military Aceademy. His first work af iter leaving his studies was in a store, but finding that a mercantile life was not to his fancy he secured a position with the old Charleston and Savannah railroad, at Savannah, and spent sev eral years in the Georgia city. Later, -in 1S78 or 1879, he returned to Charles ton and took a position as receiving clerk with the Atlantic Coast Line. He was promoted to be cashier and af terwards appointed freight agent at Charleston on. the death of Mr. C. C. iWest, which occurred several years ago, and held this position at the time of his death. Of quiet and unassuming manners, Mr. Grice was best known among his intimate acquaintances and in his home circle. His disposition was such ?s to make him greatly esteemed by those near to him and his chief est happiness was in his family. His duties with the Coast Line were such as to demand a great portion of his time, and he be longed to but few organizations. A very popular member of the German Friendly Society, he had held the va rious offices, in turn, and was among its ex-presidents and most valued mem bers. Coming into manhood before""the fire department was organized, Mr. Grice was a very popular member or Stonewall Engine Company and served as president of that company during the last year of its existence. (Mr. Grice leaves a widow and four young children. Arrangements had not been complet ed for the funeral last night, but it will be held some time Sunday. SAVED BY ins BOG. House Was on Fire and Mr. A. M. McClurc Was Awakened by Ills Dog Licking His Face. Mr. A. M. CcClure, who is a son of Rev. Dr. A. D. McCIure, pastor of St. (Andrew's Presbyterian church and who at one time lived in Wilmington, had a narrow escape from being burned to death several days ago. The Louisville (Ky.) Evening Post of the Hth instant, contains the following account of the manner in which Mr. McCIure was saved: But for a cbllie licking his face and awakening 'him from a sound sleep while the house was in flames, Mr. Alexander M. McCIure, of 1697 Everett avenue, might have been burned to death at an early hour this morning.. Sparks from a passing engine caught the roof of the house, and the dog, rwhicbJ slep beside McClure's bed Bide, ivras awakened by the smoke. 'Crawling up on his master's bed, he licked his face, seeming to fully realize the dangerous position he was in. Hjx speaking of his experience, Mr. McCIure said this morning. "I was la wakened by my Scotch collie, Burr licking njy face, and jumping out or bed. found the room full of smoke. Without taking time to dress I ran to Jthe onlyj door of the room, but was cut -)of .there by the flames that were shoot ing from the walls and ceiling. Af Iter throwing all articles of value that I could find, out the window, which is in the second story, I jumped, landing -on my feet, but fell forward and cut a Ideep wound in my knee." The dog tftimped right after ihe and landed safe fry my side. ''All my law books were destroyed loausinsr a. loss of about $250. The sec )ond story where I slept was completely gutted " and almost every article of value oik the second floor, was ruined toy. sra-ter. The loss on the house and itg contents will so over $1,000. Tho house in which McCIure was Sleeping' is the residence of Mrs. Eliza beth Cumnock, wife of the late W. W. 'Cumnock, formerly president of the IliouiSTille Cotton Mills. Mrs. Cumnock 5s at present at her country home near West Point. Mr. yi. j. Boney, of Scott's Hill, was In the -city yesterday. Impaired Digestion May not be all that is meant by dyspepsia now, but it will be if neglected. J The uneasiness after eating, fits of nerv ous headache, sourness of the stomach, and disagreeable belching may not be very bad now, but they will be if the stomach is 'suffered to grow weaker. Dyspepsia Is such a miserable disease that the tendency to it should be given early attention. This is completely over rcomeby 'Hood's Sarsaparilla which strengthens thewhole digestive system .WAJfEED FIVE HUNDRED CORDS , FAT IilGHTWOOD. $3.00 per cord 'delivered at Wilmington.

C. Williamson Went to the You 115 3Ians Rerue The Sea Was A ery Rough and the Boat Came Near Being Swamped Mr. Moore Went Down Twice Before the Boat Readied Him. Mr. William Hull Moore, who is em ployed as a book-keeper at Wm. E. Springer and Company's came very nsar being drowned yesterday afternoon at Wrightsville Beach, but was rescued by two men who went out to him in a life boat. Mr. Moore went to the beach yester day afternoon and, in-company with a number of friends, went in bathing opposite the Atlantic Club. He is a good swimmer and he went out beyond the breakers and kept getting further and further out until he passed the reef. When his friends saw him getting so far cut they called to him and warned him of his danger, but he had often done the same thing "before and felt safe. One of his friends called to him again to come back and then it was that he found he could not (return. He call ed to his friends to help him, that he could not get back. Several of them started to his assistance but they soon saw that it would be impossoble for them to save him so they ran to the Club house and secured the life Doat. In the meantime Mr. aloore was be ing carried further from the shore. The boat was launched and Mr. John Hanby nd Mr. C. C, Willimson, who is janitor at the Atlantic Club, got in the boat and started to the young man's assistance. The sea was very rough and the two men saw at once that a desperate un dertaking was before them. At one time the boat, which was very small. came near being swamped. A high wart struck the boat and instead of riding the wave it went over the boat, almost filling it with water. For a few seconds the two men were bewildered and when they looked in the direction where young Moore had been last seen he had disappeared. It was the second time he had sunk and for a moment the men hesitated as to whether they should go on or turn back. They had about decided that the young man was lost and were ready to turn back when they saw him rise. They began rowing with ail their might then to reaJch him. To add to the "dangers of the situation the oar locks pulled out. After passing the reef the boat was carried out by the tide. When the boat reached young Moore he was several hundred yards from shore. As soon as the boat was near enough a large life preserver was thrown around him. He man aged to get his arms over the life pre server and kept his head above the water until the water could be bailed out of the boat. He was then pulled into the boat and in a few minutes was on shore. He was conscious when he reached shore .but it was some time 'before h2 was able to walk. Mr. Moore was. able to be oh the streets last night, but he was feeling very weak from his awful experience. He stated that he was ready to give up, but when he heard his friends calling to him and upon looking in the direction of the shore and seeing the boat coming to his res cue he determined to use all the etrength he had to try to keep his head above water until tne boat arriv ed. When he was taken into the boat his hands were purple and so Were his wrists. . The act of Mr. Hanby and Mr. Wil liamson was certainly a brave -one and they cannot be Praised too highly for their deed. There were many on the beach at the time, but the dangers of going out -in a frail boat were so great that no one wished to take the risk. At first Mr. Williamson was going Alone, but air. Hanby knew two men cdtlfct come far nearer hand ling the boat than one so in he jumped. It -was some minutes from the time young Moore was first seen to be in danger until he -was brought to the shore. There was a large crowd on the beach and many of them quickly assembled in front of the club house. For some minutes there was much ex citement and this lasted for some time after Mr. Moore had been rescued.

Th farmers of the Riverside section had their annual gathering on Thursday, and over 500 people feasted on the good things of., that hospitable country around a table 250 feet long. Dr. G. D. Kugler, aged about 70 years, died at his residence on HiiU- boro street yesterday, and hls-remains. ! accompanied Dy nis wife, were carried last night to Greenviile, Pa. Dr. Kug ler came to this city a .year or two ago, and bought valuable property on Har rington Hill, a commanding eminence north of town, for the purpose of es tablishing a sanitarium for consump tives, but. his ill health compelled him to abandon the enterprise. Mr." James Kirkpatrlck, a faithful Confederate soldier of Gray's Creek township, who has been in the High smith hospital some days for treatment, is now much improved The writer has just made a tour of the edifice, and extensive exterior and interior work which has been going on all through the spring and summer on the Highsmlth hospital has effected a complete transformation in that ex cellent institution, greatly increasing its capacity for efficient service in the care of patients and the alleviation of suffering, and adding to its equipment, while the correct taste which has car acterized the whole plan of improve, ments has made the entire extensive structure, main building and Cochran Annex, a model of beauty and elegance. Careful supervision has followed every step of this work, from the foun dation to the roof, that nothing might be left undone when all was finished, so that the lighting and heating ar rangements are faultless, the painting of the inner and, outer walls Is of fine finish and put on for years, the corrid ors and stairways laid in handsome linoleum, and the rooms made light, airy and cheerful. Special pains have been taken with the culinary depart ment, which is equipped with every appliance for convenience, the minimiz ing of labor, the economy of material, and. above all, for absolutecleanliness. The nurses quarters ..are so situated as to place them in instant communi cation with any part of the hospital, and yet give them a cosy home to them selves when off duty, and their parlor on the gund floor, with fountain and grass plot in front, will afford them a charming place to receive their friends, while the grounds in the rear are to bs cleared up, planted and made a pretty retreat for the recreation of convales cents and nurses. One. of the most desirable additions to the hospital will be the large sun parlor on the front, enclosed in glass, which will be used for the comfort and pleasure of patients, closed or opened at will, in cold or warm weather. The wooden floor of the lobby or main hall of the building on the. ground floor will be removed, and will be replaced ty a solid concrete base, overlaid with a beautiful tesselated, oavement in mo-1 casic. The medicine room, with a care fully locked and guarded department for the dangerous drugs; the operating room, equipped with all the appliances for the most difficult operations; the lavatories, the hot and cold bath all combine to make one of the mode? hospitals of the South. Captain J. D. McNeill, chairman of the city committee on finance, yester day formallv announced himself as a candidate for the State Senate, as j "plain, old fashioned Democrat," sub ject to the. action of the county con- ! ention. j At a meeting of the creditors of the ; S.

Matthews, the popular proprietor of the Hotel LaFayette, Is quite sick, the correspondent regrets to know. He designs going to Buffalo Lithia Springs next week for his rheu matism. Thaddeus Young killed a bald eagle yesterday on the east side of Cape Fear river, about 8 miles from the city, meas uring 7 feet, 7 inches across the wings. Three white men were arrested here today, charged with selling whiskey. Parker has now spoken and we know his views. Now, let democrats get together and elect hlm." That's the idea. To elect Parker should be an object with all democrats. The presidency of these United States Is a high and exalted position and it is a matter of moment who fills if. Therefore it behooves every patriot to use his influence and his ballot to place in the presidency the best man available. The democrats have put Parker forward as the best man be cause of his calm, judicial, conserva tive views we might say, to be brief, because of his old fashioned hard headed common sense and this being so every man who thinks that type of American citizen ought to be president will not be wasting his time if he puts in an oar in one way or another- in behalf of the sage of Esopus. Thei democrats ought to . get together in behalf of Parker and they ought to expend on him what national political energy they have and we believe also that it would help the case if those who have been pouring It Into Mr. Bryan would let up on him. Cut out abusing Bryan and turn the econmy of nervous energy thus affected to Parker's advantage-Richmond Times Dispatch. have it from the Nashville Amer ican that The Outlook editorially states that "the negro is really the most in telligent citizen in the south," and to this idoilc statement the Washington Post adds: He is also more intelligent than some people who are writing' editorials in the North.'-.
