School Boatd Will Meet To-night Hatter cf Pegram-Wadsworth School Site Will be Brought Up—AttorneysJoj Protest- ing Belmont Citizens Widbe t*resent. The board of school commissioners ^ill meet tonight at 8:30 o’clock In :he council chamber of the city hall. The most interesting matter for confrid- eration will be the question of locating the new $20,000 school building which has been planned for the benefit of Belmont, Villa Heights, North Char lotte and Sunnyside. The board some time ago adopted the minority report of Commissioner J. J. Wiliams, of the committee on buildings and grounds, which provid ed for the acceptance of the proffered Pegram-Wadsworth Land Company as a site for the new school, with the letention of the school building in Bel mont from primary grades. The peo ple of Belmont protected against this and asked the board by petition and delegation to accept the majority re port of the committee on baildings and grounds, which recommended that the $20,000 apportionment for a new school, building be divided 111,000 to improve and enUrg« the present building in Belmort and $9,000 to be used for a new building for the suburbs other than Belmont. The point made by the Belmont peo- pie Is that it is an injustice to them to take a'^ay the good school they al ready have and move it away to the Pi gram-Wadsworth land &ite. They say they voted bonds for school pur poses and with the understanding and belief that they would have improved school facilities. They employed council and gave no tice of injunction to the school board against its carrying out its purpose of building on the Pegram-Wadsworth site. They have retained some of the ablest counsel in the city, and, through them the Belmont people Avill ask that the board reconsider its action and adopt the majority report Instead. Memory of Jackson Honored by Soldiers **Our FejKihlts** of PhUadel* phia Honor Memory oj Stonewall Jackson And Pay Tribute to His Widow. Soldiers of every flag lower their colors to the memory of Stonewall Jackson. Yesterday as the Pennsylvania sol diery, Our Fenclbles, the noted batal- ion of that state, passed the home of Mrs. Stonewall .Jackson, on West Trade street, the colors were lowered and every man's cap was removed. Later in the day the visitors paid a special visit to Mrs. Jackson’s home, the battalion band, which Included 150 picked men, playing Dixie in front of the house. Mrs. Jackson wa» not at home, else her hospitality would have been cor dially extended the soldiers of the Quaker City. Mr. Chappelle, the right-hand man of Mayor Brazer, spoke of Mrs. Jack son as the widow of that illustrious soldier. Stonewall Jackson.” The Fenclbles also saluted when passing the monument of LI6ut. Wil liam B. Shipp, who was killed In the Spanish-American ward, and caps a^d helmets were raised by each soldier when the big tablet on Independence Square, commemorating the Mecklen burg Declaration of Independence, was passed. The visitors were delighted with Charlotte and the citizens of Charlotte esteemed it an honor and privilege to have them as guests. Said Mayor Bland this morning; "I do not know when I have met more thoroughly delightful men. They ex pressed themselves as being greatly pleased "^ith Charlotte.” The stay was very sho/’t, but Mayor Bland, the city councilmen, the local military and the Manufacturers’ Club did all in their power to make the time pass pleasantly. The club kept open house for the vis itors, and Manager Frick &aw that they lacked for nothing. Captains W. R. Robertson, John A. Parker, W. M. Rober afld Lieut. R. M. Johnston, and other military officials, representing the local military were assiduous in every particular. The march through the streets was a fine exhibition. The Fencibles are not a part of the I state or national militia, but are a special ?:uard, as it were, to the may or of Philadelphia, he alone having the right to call them out. The men were grplendidly equipped, and the band was superb. The “Old Guard,” which was organiz- ed^in 1812, Is a division of the com pany. This is the highest ranking divl- Sion of the battalion. To the Old Guard the place d'honneur was asigned in yesterday's parade. Their uniforms Were dark blue. Next came a division of the younger Fenclbles, W'ho wore the regular uniform, blue trousers and scarlet coats with the high fur hats. After these came the band, the only difference in their uniforms being in the shape of the hat, and that the members of the band wore white spatts. Then came another division of the Fenclbles and last followed the officials of the two cities in automo biles. Mayor Bland and Hon. E. R. Preston made short speeches of welcome. Mr. Chappelle responded for the visitors. He paid high tribute to the people of Mecklenburg, w’ho “set the example for Philadelphia and the nation in signing the first Declaration of Inde pendence.” The vi&itors left at 4 p. m.

Iter City and County Officials Con ferred Yesterday Afternoon in Ihe Office of County En- ginur Stowe—County Will Erect lempory Bridge. * At a conference held yesterday af ternoon at the office of County Engi neer Stowe, at the court house, be tween Chairman of the County Com missioners W. M. Long, the city wa ter board and the officials of the Re- quarth Construction. Cocmapny, the Ixing Creek bridge matter was set tled agreeably to the city, the coun ty and the construction company. The agreement was that the county would erect a temporary bridge across the creek in question in order that the city might not be delayed In. the laying of the new pipe line to Cataw ba river, which it appeared would be the case if the courfty went ahead tearing down the old bridge for the purpose of erecting a newer modern bridge there. The Requarth Company has the contract for the work and had already torn away the old bridge in part for the new structure. At this point it was discovered a bridge was absolutely necessary at this point If the work of extending the city water system to the river was not to be impeded. Consternation reigned in the hearts of the water board at this prospect of delay and a conference was hastily called. The county officials of course were unwilling to be the cauae ot any delay in the completion of the waterworks system and therefore agreed to erect a temporary bridge over the creek. By this arrangement the Requarth Company can go ahead with the construction of the new bridge for the county and at the same time the extension of the wa terworks system will not be inter fered with. The work of erecting a temporary bridge will begin at once. Mr, Ed. Latta lit The city in general will regret to know that Mr. E. D. Latta is sicS. He has been confined to the house for days. He was better today and hopes *0 be out in a few days. Naval Stores.

C., Winston-Salem, High Point, Monroe and Charlotte. Emma returned from Monroe last Friday night and ordei’^d the hackman to drive her to the home of Ella Phifer on Alexander street where Emma had boarded before going to Monroe. She went in the house and picked up one of the Phifer picaninles and was be stowing kisses upon it, while Carrie Sullivan sat at the Phifer table'eating aupper. Carrie, either from surprise or from the belief that her hated rival was about to fall into her hands, let fall on the floor a piece of the china ware^ of the hotel Phifer. Not a word wag uttered by her, but she crept out the door and crept back again. She crept up to Emma with a razor and be§^n carving hieroglyphics on Em- ma’i person. Dr. Davidsod put 20-odd stitches in her anatomy, one' of the gashes in her neck narrowly missing the Jugular vein. On the stand Emma stated, that she liad never had any fuss 'with Carrie and had no idea why Carrie should have wanted to carve her. She was married and her husband lived in High Point and she was expecting to go to him soon. “You are very fond of your husband, are yon act?*’ Mr. P. M.

The te&timony was viiried. It seems that the death of a i mule, exchanged for a broken-down plug iiorse with the distemper was the cause of action. The testimony was that the man who sold the mule to the last owner valued him at only about $30, though the owner of the departed animal valued him at $200, I when he was dead and gone. ( The animal was taken to the black smith shop of Mr. W. R. Stroupe to be shod. The negro who does the Boe ing for Mr. Stroupe testified that the animal, of his own free will and ac cord, rommitted suicide by butting his head against a post in a fit of unreas onable anger. When the negro tried 'to shoe .the mule, so the testimony went, the mule bacl^ed off and charged ior the post. The shock was too ipuch ,for even a mule’s head and constitu-| jtion. He sat back on his haunches, gaz-j ed at ths ix)g.t in an astonished way, j and then fell over, departing this land of blacksmiths and coming into the I realm of North Carolina lav.\ I j On the other hand a negro who j ' cooks just across the street, testified! that she saw Mr. Stroupe hit tlie mulej .across the head with a p^ir of tongs.i I Mr. Stroupe teetifled that he was not, i near the mule at the time of the ani-' i mal’s decease. i W'hen the negro who did the shoeing v.as asked if he had ever been in court he answered promptly, “Yes, ear!” “Have you ever been on the chain- gang?” “Yes, sir; fo’ or five times.” Yesterday Aftcr?ioon.

The suit was for ‘hu amount of R5,000 wliich the pia'i^ tiffs claim is due them a& the insurance on their property which was destroy ed last June by fire. The insurance company refused to honor the policy held by the plaintiff because the holdings of the pants com pany had been taken over by tli= American Ttust Company, as receivers of the Insolvent pants company, with out giving the insurance company no tice. This violated a clau&e in the contract between the defendent and the plaintiff, but the plaintiff claims that this violation was not enough to call for the nullification of the policv The jury decided in favor of tlie plaintiff. The case will be appealed. Mrs. Jackson, of A:,gusta D;ad Miss Sallie Davidson received a telegram last night announcing the death of Mrs. J. K. Jackson, widov, of Gen. J. K.
