He is creating a fine reputation at every court and is making the peo ple of this district feel proud that they made him their solicitor. -He is prov ing himself to be a capital solicitor and evil-doers will learn to look upon him with terror." 1 Telephone and Telegraph Poles . A meeting of the Board of Aldermen was held, on .Friday afternoon last to take into consideration the matter of the erection of telephone poles, with the viewjof regulating the same. so that they will not be in the way. Resolu tions were passed to that effect, requir ing the poles to be erected immediately withing the curb, or on a line with the outside of the curb, and in all casesin such position as to prevent the least obstruction to passage or traffic. The resolutions also require the W. U. Tel egraph Company to have their poles conform to the same regulations. As some solace to the the telephone and telegraphic companies, lor the trouble they will have to undergo, it was re solved that no person rshall be allowed to deface any of the poles referred to, by advertisements, printed or cut there on or attached thereto irr any mauner. . I , j 'I . 1 Two Ocean Steamers. Itf looks very much like Wilming ton's chipping business was improving when we have two ocean jsteamships at lone time lying at our wharves, besides the many coastwise steamers and sail ing ships. We are informed by the Collector, Capt. Pennybacker, that an other steamship is on the war here and . r -"f will arrive within the next few days. We are glad to. see this evidence of prosperity and hope it is not tempo rary, bat will prove only the beginning of a successful direct connection of this city with foreign countries. Why our opinioB, the merchants here can, if they will, provide cargoes of freight for the steamships to bring as well as cotton and naval stores for them to take away. We cannot compete with other American ports unless the vessels are loaded both ways, therefore our business men must have an eye to the import as well as the export trade. If thev will do this. We have no doubt of the success of this new business. The Wilmington Firemen. The reception tendered to the Wil " mington. Hook and Ladder Company by the Howard Relief and Wilmingion S. F. E. Companies, took place on afternoon. The Hook and Ladder Company, - with its new and handsome truck was escorted to the City Hall by the other two companies, where a speech of reoeption and con gratulation was delivered by Chief f the fire department, who was followed by Mayor Hall, jn re sponse to loud calls, who spoke briefly but earnestly and eloquently. Coionel Roger Moore was next called upon and delivered a stirring little speech, after which the procession was reformed and marched through a number of the principal streets, and finally drew up at the ball of the Little Giant Engine House, where a banquet was spread for them. CapUia John Cowan delivered a ahort address of welcome, on behalf of the two engine companies, and then all partook or the splendid cotiauon before them.. The Howard Belief aod.W. 8. F. E.
