We are glad to be able to state that
the report in circulation in this city last
week, relative to Col. V. N. Fcden
having received a strake of paralysis is
all a mistake. Wo have just been shown
a postal to a firm in this city from Col-
Peden's son-in-law. Mr. R. II. Hubbard,
of Clmton, which states that the gentle
man had a severe attack of colic which

The Pentbn Cotton Cases.
The six cases against W. J. Penton
and George McDougal, charged with
larceny, were arranged by counsel in the
Criminal Court to-day. The State's
JLttorney agretd to a verdict ,cf not
guilty of larceny, but guilty of tres
pass. The sentence of the Court being
one penny and costs in each case. It is
understood that the yerdict was agreed
to npon the condition that Fenton and
McDougal would never return to the
city. It will be remembered Fenton
was arrested some four or five months
ago and gave bond for his- appearance
before a justice's court for . preliminary
examination, and that he jumped his
bond. McDougal had not been arrested,
but left before the officers could come up
with him. -

The Board met in regular moathly
session at the City Hall last night
There were present Mayor Smith and
Aldermen Kowden, Northrop, Worth

Alderman VMth read a report of a
Committee of the Commissioners of Nav
igation recommending t'naV the dock fott
of Chestnut street be not Opened.
i Herman Bo wden moved that the
matter be deferred until the nex meet
ing of the Board, the city attorney to te
consulted in the meantime as to the
power of the Board in the matter.
Alderman Chadbourn moved that the
said wharf be immediately repaired and
the Committee on Streets and Wharves
be empowered to act in the premises.
Carried.
The committee on Streets and Wharves
recommeuded that the site of the old
market house, on Market street, be
paved. Alderman Worth moved that it
be balasted. The report as amended
was adopted.
The application of Cape Fear Fire
Kngine Company was granted.
Several applications for gas lamps
were not granted, the gas mains not ex
tending to the localities where the lights
were desired.
The Mayor called the attention of the
Board to the list of delinquents for
license tax amounting to over $4,000, and
on motion he was instructed to enforce
the collection of the same, as well as the
Butchers' monthly tax, in arrears,
amounting to $250.
The Chief of the Fire Department, Mr.
F. G. -Robinson, submitted the following
recommendations, which were . referred
for consideration to the Fire Depart
ment Committee:
'In addition to my estimate and re
commendations already submitted,
would recommend that your Board of
Fire Commissioners inspect, condemn
and sell what hose, reels. &c.-, (the pro-
nrtvf the city), that they may find
j mi' - -
unserviceable.
"I also recommend the placiig of a
hose reel and about 500 feet of the best
of the old .leather hose (now in use), with
Messrs. Hart. Bailey Co., to be used
by their steam pump in case of fire at
any point that can be reached from their
foundry it being understood that if the
hose and reel should be required by me
at any time, it will be subject t mv
orders.
'I would further recommend that 'gate
ways' be constructed at the runs on Mark
et and Fifteenth and Dawson and Fourth
streets. This recommendation was un
thoughtedlyleft out in my' general esti
mate, but I think enough can be appro
priated from 'miscellaneous' to construct
these gateways, which I deem very ne
cessary to the further efficiency of the
Fire Department."
The Finance Committee submitted the
following .report of appropriations for
the ensuing fiscal year, which report was
adopted and ordered to be referrred to
the Board of Audit and Finance: For
Streets and Wharves, $8,600; Police,
15,500; Public Building, 2,500; Fire
Department, $9,000; Prisoners, $200;
Lights, $5,74o Printing, Stationery and

Miscellaneous and Extraordinary, $1,000;
Water Works, $2,000. '

that his explanation of the matter to the

on our editotial pacre to-day. The Mass
achusotts Senator evidently mistook his
man. The Mississippitn was a new
tomer in the Senate and - Mr. Dawes
thought to brow beat him, and attempt
el like Hoar, of theifame State, once
tried to do our own Ransom, teach a
Soalhera Senator what goo J manners
was. It is needless to say that Haar re
ceived the reward ot hi3 impudence at
the hands of our distinguished Senator
then and there, and we think our readers
will agree with us when we assert that
Mr. Dawes received his just desserts at
the hands of the able Senator from Mis
sissippi. The senior Senator from Mass
achusetts had evidently not measured
his opponent good, in ibis instance, or
he would not hava rushed so heedlessly
on to nis own discomfiture. t any rate,
it is fair to presume that Senator Dawea
will be more wary in tuture.and not seek
a tilt with the distinguished Senator
from Mississippi forsom? time- to come,
or at least until he recovers from the
wounds received in his recent encounter.
