THE POLICE.
Tha New Force Sworn In Address of
RIayorHaJl, &e.
The members of the police force, elected
by the Board of Aldermen Monday night,
were sworh in yesterday at 1 2 o'clock and
entered at once upon the discharge of their ,
duties.
Mayor Hall was present and made an ad
dress to the .force, which, while it was
couched in language which fell pleasantly
upon the ears of the guardians of the city,
was at the same time of a character to im- ;
press them with the weight of the responsi
bility resting upon them, and of his deter
mination to see the duties properly dis
charged. He commented at some length
upon his understanding of their obligations
to tbe city, and particularly dwelt upon
two points, as of supreme importance.
These were:
1st. Getting drunk while on duty.
2nd. Gqing to sleep while on duty.
For each of these offences the penalty
would be immediate dismissal, without op
portunity of appeal. The sentinel, he said,
who slept on his post and thus endangered
the lives of the soldiers he was guarding,
paid the penalty of the indiscretion with
bis life.. , The policeman who sleeps on his
beat, While treated in a more humane man-i
ner, should be made to know the extent i
and importance of the trust imposed upon;
him, as the guardian of the lives and prop
erty of the citizens. For the minor offences,
sueh as visiting bar-rooms, etc. , he said the
penalty would be suspension. In conclu
sion he stated, that he would offer as in
ducements, and at his own expense, a gold
medal worth $10 to the policeman who
proved himself the most efficient in the dis
charge of his duty during the year; and a
silver medal worth $10 to the officer whose
department should be the most exemplary
and who should be adjudged to have kept
himself the neatest in his apparel, etc., du
ring the yean Finally he told them that
he would . protect them at all hazards in
the proper discharge pf their arduous and
unpleasant duties.
The address was well received by the
foTce. . i
Accidentally Bun Over.
A little son ot Mr, Joseph Lewis, who 1
occupies rooms over Mr. J. F. Stolter's
store, on Second, between Market and
Princess streets, was accidentally knocked
down and rtin over by a baker's wagon, in
front of his house yesterday morning about
10 o'clock, and pretty badly cut about the
neck and face. As soon as the driver of
the wagon saw what bad happened he dis
mounted, picked, the little fellow qp and
carried hhn into the house, where he had
the necessary surgical attention. The soft
mud in the. street where the accident took
place no doubt prevented the injury from
being more serious than it really was.
Mr. A. A. Miller, Romfleld, N. C, saysr
"My wife has taken Brown's Iron Bitters
with excellent effect for nervousness and

1883:
CITY HOSPITAL.
- Bapart ot Manager Part af Coa
. t Board af Caat nty .OownaHaalanara
. InteraaUas: Statistics, dee.
: . Fjnm tbe report of Commissioner Roger
Moore, Manager on the part of the. County
of the City Hospital, presented at the late
meeting of the Board, we glean some facta
of interest The report -covers the period
from October; 1881, when the Hospital was
opened, to January 1st, 1883. Dr. W. W.
Lane, Superintendent and Surgeon in
chargehas octro of .the Hospital, and
grounds, and devotes his entire time to its
management and the treatment of the pa
tients' under hW'care. ' He has a competent
steward , and'ftitiifiU matron who give
every Stfe and attention, under Dr. Lane's
direction, to )hose under treatment. There
had been, up to the time stated above, 136
admissions, of which 122 were treated .suc
cessfully, and 14 had died. The entire ex
penditures i or the fourteen months were
$3,708.07, of which $453.70 were paid for
furniture, $60 for legal services (rendered
in examining and arranging titles to pro
perty) and $599.75 to public buildings ac
count, such as repairing houses, building
and repairing fences, building cisterns, etc.,
aggregating $1,113.45. Add to this amount
the further sum of $211.50, received from,
pay patients, for rents and for medicines
sold, and it makes tbe total of $1,324.95,
which deducted from the amount of total
expenditures, leaves a balance for operating
expenses of the hospital for fourteen months
of $2,383.12, or an average monthly cost
of $170.23. The number of pay patients is
expected to increase as the Hospital be
comes better known.
The immediate erection of a ward kitch
en or dead house is recommended. The
management has given the matter atten
tion, and is of the opinion that at an ex
pense not to exceed $1,500 a ward contain
ing room for eighteen beds, a bath room,
kitchen and small dead house can be built
and sewerage pipe laid. He considers
these improvements absolutely necessary
to the successful management of the insti
tution ; for. at present, in the absence of a
regular ward, the sick are scattered about
in the small houses of the premises, which
entails a great deal more care upon the Su
perintendent, and causes at times unavoid
able delay in attending to the sick. Mana
ger Moore, in conclusion, compliments in
high terms the management of the Hos
pital. The admissioBS to the Hospital from
Nov. 1st, 1881, to Jan. 1st, 1883, according
to an accompanying report of Dr. Lane,
embraced 45 white males, 27 white femaks,
43 colored males, 21 colored females. To
tal, 7 whites, 64 colored. Grand total, 138.
The deaths for the same period embraced
3 white males, 2 white females, 5 colored
males, 4 colored females. Total, 5 whites,
9 colored. Grand total, 14.

nilton Nobles in "The Phnlx
The crowd at the Opera House last eve
ning was much larger than on the night
previous, and the enthusiasm and enjoy
ment of the entertainment were unbounded.
"The Phopnix" has lost none of its attrac
tiveness, nor has Mr. Nobles' popularity
in the least decreased since his last appear
ance on our boards, a fact well proven by
the applause that was so frequently and
often boisterously accorded him last even
ing. Mr. Schwartz, as' Moses Solomons,
was no less a favorite, and hi creation
was as amusing and as mirth provoking as
ever. The support throughout was very
clever, and materially assisted in succes
fully, and capitally presenting this, as the
bills have it, "ever popular play."

FENNKLL At his late residence, in Sampson
connty, on the 128th day of March, 1883, Mb.
OWEN FENNEL L, Sr., aged 79 years, 4 months
and 26 days.
In the death of this venerable terventof Christ,
not only his family, bnt the church and the com
monwealth, have lost a most valuable and
worthy member. Besides being a most tender
and affectionate father, he bad woo the confi
dence and worthily bore the honors of his
Church and State, till aire and imflrmlty com
pelled him to lay these aside, to enjoy In quiet,
the felicities and enjoyments of a well regulated
household. The deceased was for many years a
consistent member ot the Baptist Church, a Ma
son of long standing, and before the late war he
held for more than sixteen years the post of
High Sheriff of New Hanover county, when the
county included Pender oounty and Franklin
Township in Sampson county; thus showing in
what estimation he was held by a large and in
telligent constituency. His many worthy deeds,
his many kind acts, may be ignored and forgotten
by the recipients, but the Kecordlng Angel has
chronicled them in the "Book of Remembrance,"
and which will inure to him for good in the day
of settlement, when the Master will declare,"Well
done, good and faithful servant, enter into the
Joys of thy Lord." A FRIEND.

BY GASTON JC. HOURS.
In evenness I glide along,
And always beautify a song;
Resolving chords must me obey.
And resolutions leave for aye.
The dullest ear would recognize
My voice, and all my beauty prize
When once my copy part you see,
It whispers "simply follow me."
