Thare Is Life in the Movement for New Cotton Factory It should Be Substan tially Enoouraeed- There is substance in the movement to build another cotton factory in Wil mington. It has men of means, men of energy, and men of practical experience behind it, and the prospect of complete success in the undertaking is highly en couraging. That cotton factories pay well in the South that they are more profitable tban those in tbe North is a fact so well established that it has passed be yond the arena of debate. What will be tbe pTan for raising tbe necessary capital for the new mill, pro vided the preliminary arrangements are successful, is cot yet definitely known; but it is almcst certain that the co-oper ative instalment, plan so long, so fre quently and so persistently advocated by the Star, will be adopted. Should tbe new movement prove a success, it will be followed by others similar in character; and it is not extrav agant to expect that within five or six years Wilmington may have a half dozen or more new manufacturing enter prises contributing to her prosperity. The Star will be glad to hear from men of good judgment on this subject. Arras PublishiDK Company.

Northrop, Jr., Elected a Member of the Board to Fill the V-aoanoy in the Fourth Ward Various Matters of Finance Discussed The Board of Audit and Pinanoe Criticised-A .Loan of $18,800 to he Negoti ated to Pay Coupons. The Board of Aldermen met last night in called session, with tbe Mavor and Aldermen Gore, VonGlahn, Harriss, Latimer, Nixon and Walker present. Mayor Fishblate stated that the fneet- ng was called to elect an Alderman to succeed Mr. Jno, J. Fowler, who had re signed, and to act on a loan from Messrs. Blair & Co., of New York. He poke ot the financial condition ot tbe city and the reputation this Board had upheld, notwithstanding the fact that the administration took charge with a deficiency of $50,000, and that since there had been a panic and the city's credit bad been sustained, and that Messrs. Blair & Co., of New York, had offered a loan (to pay coupons which would be due shortly) at 6 per cent, per annum. Alderman Latimer said it was with much regret that bis colleague from the Fourth Ward had resigned, and in a fitting speech nominated a young man who was his personal friend, Mr. W. H. Northrop, Jr., to fill the vacancy. The nomination was seconded by Alderman Harriss. Alderman Walker nominated as. W. Green. The Mayor appointed Aldermen Har riss and Walker as tellers. The vote was 4 to 2 in favor of Northrop, and he was declared elected. The following resolution offered by Alderman Harriss was adopted : Be it ordained by the Board of Alder men ot tne city, ot Wilmington (the Board of Audit and Finance concurring) and it is hereby ordained by the author ity of the same, that the Mayor and Cbairman of the Board of Audit and Fi nance be authorized and empowered to negotiate a loan with Messrs. Blair & Co., of New York City, for the sum of eighteen thousand eight hundred and ten dollars, payable April 1st, 1895, with interest at the rate of 6 per cant, per annum, and to execute and deliver therefor tbe note of the note of the city, payable in gold, for the purpose of rais ing funds to pay and discharge the in terest coupons on the bonded debt of the city maturing January 1st, 1895. Alderman Harriss then presented a bill, at the request of City Attorney P. B. Manning, for one hundred dollars,, lor investigating a claim against the Bank of New Hanover. Alderman Latimer said that he had noticed a bill from Mr. Thos. W, Strange, which had been ordered paid by tbe Board of Audit and Finance, for professional services amounting to $179.00. Inquiry was made as to whether that had been paid or not. Mr. Fennell said it had not. Alderman VonGlahn said that he didn't think the Board of Audit and Finance had any right to order a bill paid without its being approved bj the Board of Aldermen. Alderman Latimer said it had never been before the Finance Committee or tbe Board of Aldermen. Alderman Harriss thought the Board of Audit was going beyond its authority to pay bills before approval by the alder men. Upon motion ot Alderman Latimer, Mr. Strange's bill for $179 was disal lowed and the treasurer notified not to pay it. Every alderman present expressed himself, and some in strong terms, to the effect that the city ordinances allowed the City Attorney a salary and prescribed bis duties, and that he had no right to make extra charges, and that be should attend the meetings. After some discussion a motion was made to disallow his bill for $100 and it was carried unanimously. Alderman-elect Northrop was intro duced by Alderman Latimer and sworn in. Alderman Harriss said the Board of Audit and Finance had refused to pay M. Bellamy & Son a claim of $50 for defending tbe city in the case of not keeping Fourth street in a good condi tion. Alderman VonGlahn said, if they pay one, all should be paid. Alderman Latimer couldn't see why they should pay Mr. Strange and not Mr. Bellamy, and said that the City At torney, under the ordinance, should have attended to all this work. There was a general kick on the action of the Board of Audit and Finance taken in several business transactions recently. The Mayor said that there was about $7,000 of bonds not found in the bonded debt statement "as presented by tbe late treasurer, Mr. Wilson, to Mr. Fennell when he took charge, and a Mrs. Gra ham a few months ago presented two bonds one of $100 and one of $200 together with interest amounting to about $800, which was paid by order of the Board of Audit and Finance, with out the knowledge of the Mayor or Fi nance Committee of the Board of Al dermen. These bonds had their coupons on from 1870, not having been taken off, and the bonds were due in 1887 and called m at that time. Tbe money was in the city treasury at the time to pay all these bonds ($7,000), but was mis applied by the administration then in power, and now after twenty-four years of coupons due and the bonds seven years past due, they are paid without consulting this Board, no appropriation having been made to pay the same. These bonds will have to be added to the debt of tbe city, and without this ex planation at the next statement made it will appear that the debt of this city had been increased by this administration, while, to the contrary, it has been re duced. Alderman Harriss said the matter onght to have been put before the Alder men and investigated thoroughly, as it is further understood that this same Mrs. Graham has more bonds of the same nature. Alderman VonGlahn stated that the Board of Audit charged his appropria 19. 1894. tion with a note of $1,400, which was made by the former administration to the Howard Relief Co. There was no ap propriation made to meet this at the be ginning of the fiscal year by the Board of Audit, and it will now appear that he has over-spent this much, and also ap pear that this Board are spending more tban their appropriations asked for. Alderman Harriss moved to send a copy ot the ordinance sections 3 and 4 contracts to the Board of Audit and Finance, and also to tbe City Attorney the ordinance defining the duties of the city attorney. A bill was presented from H. Mc- Clammy tor $25 for professional service in defending a police officer in the Crimi nal Court, the City Attorney not being to be found at the time, and the case being called instanter it was necessary to have an attorney. The officer was acquitted of the charge of clubbing a prisoner for resisting. Alderman Nixon said he thought it should be paid by the City Attorney, and he was of the opinion that it should be taken from his salary. After some discussion the Board ap proved Mr. McCiammy 's bill. Alderman Nixon introduced a resolu tion that tbe Compton Hose Reel Com pany be recognized as a fire company. Carried. The Mayor appointed Mr. W. H. Northrop, Jr., on the Fire Committee, tbe Streets and Wharves Committee and the Market Committee. The Board then adjourned. Election of Officers. At the last regular communication held by Oriental Conclave No. 1, Order of Heptasophs or S. W. M , the follow ing were elected officers for tbe ensuing term : W. Ch.E. T. Jewell. E. A.

Tbe Brownies' entertainment was re peated last night with as much success as on Monday night. The little ones certainly acquitted themselves finely, both in their acting and singing. The Board of Lady Managers are as follows: Mesdames Roger Moore, Alex. McClure, J. F. Garrell, C. C. Brown and W. W. Hodges.

Garrell has begun the erection of works on his plantation ' Sans Souct," just bey end the city lim its, for tbe manufacture of fertilizers. The buildings for the factory have been completed, and the machinery necessary for the plant has been ordered. The es timated output will be fifty tons per day, and Mr. Garrell has already on hand a large stock of material with which to begin operations. Newbarn Growing The Star is gratified to learn, through a communication in the Journal, that Newbern is steadily improving. During the past four years 404 new buildings have been erected. This prosperity is no doubt largely due to the great devel ment of the trucktng interests in the Newbern section during the last ten years. Dempsey and Eyan A dispatch of the 10th from New Or leans says: "Tommy Ryan left this morning for Chicago.

Star Correspondence J Wkldon, N. C , Dec. 18 OI the five hundred guards and convict3 on the State farms near this place, not more than three are sick.
