A Suggestion.
Here is a suggestion that we
commend to our worthy postmas
ter's attention. Get large cards
printed and hang them out in
front of the boxes to let people
knew when the mails have been
opened and distributed and when
they are noi. It is done in other
cities and always found a great con
venience to the public.
Newspaperial.
We have received the "Fourth
Anniversary Issue" of the Golds
boro Dally Argus and it is a model
of neatness and taste in its make up
and typography. It is a 24 column
sheet, the outside pages of which
are printed on tinted paper and em
bellished with several illustrations
representing some of the most prom
inent thoroughfares and public
buildings in Ooldsboro. The read
ing matter is appropriate to the oc
casion, and is characteristic of the
well directed energy and tireless
work of Bro. Robinson, whose sa
gacity and perseverance have es
tablished a paper of which he may
well feel proud and which is emin
ently deserving a most liberal pat-ronge.

WILMINGTON, N, C
BOARD OF ALDKRMKN.
Adjourned Meeting.
The Board of Aldermen met in
adjourned session yesterday even
ing. All the members were present,
Mayor Fowler presiding.
A report from the Chief of the
Fire Department was read, showing
condition of the fire engines, trucks,
hose reels and other apparatus of
the Department, and making re
commendations for the purchase of
additional fire hose.that a fire alarm
bell be placed at Fifth street mar
ket house, and for ten additional
fire hydrants and ten additional fire
alarms. Referred to Committee on
Fire Department.
Alderman Post said that the hose
of the Little Columbia Hose Reel
Company was worthless: that the
company was composed entirely of
boys who were often in the way of
the other fire companies, and he
moved that the hose be brought to
the City Hall and the company dis
banded.
Alderman Pearsall suggested that
as the company was a volunteer one
as a matter of courtesy they should
first receive some notification of the
proposed action. Alderman Morton
thought it a little hasty to disband
the company without notice, and
Alderman Lane also favored post
ponement of fiction until the j com
pany was notified.
Alderman Smith submitted as a
substitute for the motion of Alder
man Post, that the Chief of the
Fire Department be instructed to
make examination and condemn all
hose found to be worthless and
cause it to be sent to the City Hall.
This was adopted, wifhout discus-,
sion.
Petition from property owners,
asking for a fire alarm bell at
Seventh and Church streets, was re
ferred to the Fire Committee.
Contracts were awarded as fol
lows: For feeding prisoners, to William
Sheehan, at Ih cents a meal.
For Printing, to S. G. Hall, at $63.
For electric lighting, to the North
Carolina Power Company, for 51
electric lights at $10.50 each per
month.
For gas lights, to the Wilmington
Gas Light Company.
For lumber, to Parsley & Wiggins
at $10.50 per thousand feet, for mer
chantable stuff, and $13.00 for all
heart lumber.
For feeding mules, etc., to T. J.
Southerland. at $29.75 for each
team.
The Finance Committee through
Alderman Hicks, recommended ac
ceptance of bid of G. H. Green and
E. F. Johnson for tax listing at their
bid of $475.
Alderman Lane offered as a sub
stitute that the contract be award
ed to Col. Jas. G. Burr, and Alder
man Smith, while he disliked to
oppose the recommendation of the
committee, also favored the award
being made to Col. Burr. Consid
eration of the matter was finally
postponed until the next regular
meeting on motion of Alderman
Craft. '
The Mayor announced the ap
pointment of Aldermen Pearsall,
Morton and Hicks as the committee
on Permanent Street Improvements.
Petition of Wilmington Light In
fantry for an appropriation of $750
for the current year was referred
without debate to the Committee on
Finance The Mayor said that he
heartily approved of every encour
agement being given to the com
pany, and spoke of its value to the
city as one of its greatest safe
guards. Alderman Lane asked for the re
port of the City Attorney in the
matter of suits for delinquent taxes.
The matter was discussed at length.
The Mayor said the cost would
amount to $2,300. .
Alderman Hicks had been dispos
ed to submit to a non suit, but after
consideration he favored taking a
different course, and suggested that
two or three cases be tried at the
approaching session of the Supe
rior Court and let these decide the
rest. The City Attorney explained
that the 'calendar had been complet
ed and suits could not be entered at
this term of court.
Alderman Pearsall, also, thought
if would be a bad precedent to es
tablish to non suit these cases and
release those who had refused to pay
taxes.
Finally, on motion of Alderman
R
WEDNESDAY, APRIL
Smith, it was decided to postpone ac
tion until the next regular meeting
of the Board, and there being no
j other business for consideration the
meeting adjourned.

Hon. C. W. McClammy, represent!
ative in Congress from the Third
District, arrived in the city last
night.
The foundation for the new gov-
; eminent building has now reached
I the top of the ground and quite a
number of the ventilators have been
placed in position. Work on the
structure is progressing favorably.
This is delightful weather in
which to ramble in the forests which
I surround our city and inhale the
I balsamic odors of the pine and the
exquisite fragrance of the innum
erable flowers which bloom in pro
fusion on everv side.
A white man was found at the foot
of Dock street this morning so
drunk that he could not navigate
and he was loaded on a dray and
taken to the guard house where he
will have a chance to sleep off the
effects of his debauch, besides prob
ably having a splendid opportunity
of being a prominent figure at the
Mayor s Levee to morrow morning.
For the Navy.
There will be a competitive exam
ination, to be held at Warsaw on the
1st of May, for the naval cadetship
to which the Third Congressional
District is due. To the boys of the
glorious Third District, we would
say in the language of Capt. Cuttle.

City Court.
The proceedings before this tri
bunal to day were not of great im
portance, as the following will show:
Amos Talley, A. Bryant and Rich
ard Foster, all colored, were charged
with gambling, but the hearing was
postponed untd to morrow.
Thos. Payne, a colored youth
charged with disorderly conduct,
thought that he could not get jus
tioe in the City Court, and the hear
ing in his case was transferred to
Mr. J. Cowan, J. P., by whom judg
ment was suspended upon payment
of the costs.
More Fire Alarm Boxes.
The officers of the different fire
companies of the city have submit
ted to the Board of Aldermen,
through the Chief of the Fire De
partment, recommendations for sev
eral additional fire alarm boxes, to
be placed as follows: Third and
Red Cross, Chesnut and Water,
Fourth and Mulberry, Fifth and
Nixon, Sixth and Princess, Seventh
and Nun, Hanover and McRae,
Eighth and Orange, Fifth and Ches
nut, and Twelfth and Market. They
also recommend that hydrants be
placed at Twelfth and Market,
Eighth and Chesnut, lIlcRae and
Hanover, Anderson and Rankin,
Seventh and Swann, Fifth and Nix
on, Fourth, between Nixon and
Swann, Sixth and Castle, Third and
Queen, Sixth and Wooster and Fifth
and Queen streets.

A Real Improvement.
In the improvements which are
now being made on Market street
an entirely new and pleasant fea
tue was developed to day. Com
mencing in the center, of the street,
at a point 50 feet East of Front
street, the workmen began placing
a curbing, elliptical at the end and
enclosing a space 18 feet wide and
extending to within 50 feet of Sec
ond street, with the exception of
about six feet for the crossing which
is now nearly opposite 116 Market
street, but which is to be moved j
about 35 feet further East. This
plot will be turfed over and will be
the curbing, which will be raise
five inehes above the pavement ex- j
cept at the crossing where ifcwill be
on a level with the street. To add (
to the beauty of the street four trees
will be set out in this grass plot
which will be equi-distant from each
other and also from the ends of the
curbing. It will, when completed, j
add materially to the attractiveness ,
of the street, which is sufficiently
wide to. cause no inconvenience to
travel.
