Shoal Water.
Steamboatmen report about 26
inches of water on the shoals in the
Cape Fear, which is hardly depth
enough for good and comfortable
boating. And the trouble is that
the depth is constantly growing lessj
and will continue to do so until the
rains begin to fall in the up-country
to swell the streams.
Contract Awarded.
The Committee on Fire Depart
ment of the Board of Aldermen have
awarded the contract for furnishing
a double set of drop-harness to
Messrs. Fennell & Daniel, their bid
being the lowest. The two sets,
complete, will cost $125. They are
intended for the Cape Fear fire
steamer.
Good Trade.
It is undoubtedly a fact that our
merchants are doing a much larger
business at this time than they did
at the corresponding date last year.
It appears that this is true in all de
partments of trade. Our stores are
crowded with customers aud the
salesmen are kept busy in display
ing the fine array of seasonable
go6ds with which their shelves and
counters are stocked and in packing
the parcels that have Ueen sold.
One large clothing-dealer stated to
us to-day that his average daily
cash sales at this time were more
than twice as much as they were at
the corresponding time in 1886.
City Court.
Charles Nolan was the first case
for the Mayor's consideration on
Saturday night, for which he was
required to pay a fine of $20 or work
30 days on the public streets.
Chris. Cummings, a gallant sailor
boy belonging on board the British
steamship Bcnacrc, was drunk and
disorderly at Front and Brunswick
street Saturday night, for which he
was required this morning to pay
a fine of $10 or work 30 days on the
public streets.
This closed the docket for to-day.,
Cliief of Police Hall having donned
his official harness was on hand to
look out for those who had violated
the city ordinances and to take and
receipt for any fines which might be
mulcted from defendants who might
be convicted.
In this connection it may be prop
er to state, for the benefit of all con
cerned, that Mayor Fowler is deter
mined to break up all rowdyism and
to suppress all noisy, profane or un
seemly language on the public street
and as a warning to others he will
impose the. heaviest penalties per
missable by lawr upon those who are
convicted before him of being guilty
of such offences.
