After thirty-five ' years of public
life, ex-Congressman Holman, " of

The Chicago man is a hustler, of

a shining example, tie was- with a
firm only eighteen months as book
keeper but beatjit out of $10,000,

A mother's devotion and a woman's

badly frost-bitten.
Some years ago Steve Elkins, of

Younger boys shows that young men
cannot be too particular as to whom

Billy Mahone still retains his in
terest in that Washington dump pile,
although the U. S. Senate voted to
pay him $250,000 for it, a little job
which was very properly sat down
upon by the House, which also killed

tre too near his house.
The New York Press suggests that
Georgia sheriff s should haye some in
struction in the art of hanging people
tn avoid the necessitv of hanging A
man twice, as had recently happened'
in that State. But it is not clear that
the New York method has much to
boast, of in the way of cleverness,
when after being "electrocuted" the
doctors have to cut a man up to sat
isfy themselves that he had bejudi-
cially killed sure enough.

Bill to protect birds in Davidson
Bill to amend the charter of the city
of Wilmington came up and Mr French
offered two amendments which were
adopted as follows :
FIRST AMENDMENT.
Amend section 1st as follows : Strike
out all after the word "Wilmington" in
the fourth line down to and including
the words "both Houses" in the eighth
line, and insert f the said board Police
Commission! toconsist of Wm 11 Chad
bourn, John R Melton. Silas P Wright,
I ohn E Taylor and Frederick a Kice.
Also, add to section 1st as follows : "In

or otnerwise, the remaining members of
the Board shall have power to fill the
vacancies."
Amend section 2 by inserting after
the words "Harbor Master," the words
"the clerks of the various markets."
Amend section 3 by striking out "six
hundred dollars" and inserting "one
thousand dollars." Salary of Mayor.
Amend section 5 by striking out "six
hundred dollars" and inserting "one
thousand dollars." Expenses ot Board
of Audit. All work of a permanent na
ture upon streets, such as paving, grad
ing or "claying" or placing shells upon
the same, shall be advertised in like
manner as is now done for material, and
the same shall be awarded to the lowest
responsible bidder.
Add, as sec. 9, making sec. 9, sec.
10, section 11, "that all salaries and fees
of all city officers and employees, except
the salary of clerk of the Board of Andit
and Finance, shall be fixed by the con
current action of the Board of Aldermen
and tbe Police Board, unless otherwise
provided for by this act.
AMENDMENT SECURED.
Amend -by adding to section 8 the
following: That Jhe persons who may
be in officelas Mayor and Aldermen of
tbe said citv.ot Wilmington on the 28th
day of March, A, p., 1895, shall continue
in omce until tne regular election to be
held on the fourth Thursday in March,
A. D., 1897, and . until their successors
then to be elected, will be duly quali
fied." Mr MdrhhrV said it would be
remembered 'that be opposed the
change of charter, though the bill
introduced- by the Senator from New
Hanover ' and Brunswick was milder
than many Offered, yet he thought it was
unnecessary. -The charter of Wilming
ton remained unchanged till 1872, up to
which time schools were established, and
happiness reigned. ' Speaking of negro
policemen, Mr McClammy said that
Marsh Walker.' though as black as an
ace of spades, had a -character as pure
and white as stow, and was a consistent
Democrat, Tbat he was against ap
pointment of negro policemen. He saw
no necessity fprjhe change.
Mr r reach said there never was a bill
that granted so much tq opponents.
That a prominent merchant had said
that he never" saw ' before the victims
given the spoils. That no change was
made in the Board of Aldermen and
the Board of Audit and Finance, only a
few small offices taken. That the joint
caucus had agreed on this bill and hp
hoped it wOuld pass as amended.
The bill was thea put upon its second
reading and passed by a vote ol 60 to
39. It was then placed upon its third
reading, but objection was raised and
Mr French moved to suspend the rules.
Not a sufficient number sustaining him,
he moved that the bill be made special
order for 4.2 o'clock to-morrow.
- Special Star Telegram.
The House took up to-day as a spe
cial order the bill to appropriate $10,000
to the Ladies Monumental Association
of North Carolina for the completion of
the Confederate monument. The bill
has already passed the Senate. Many
elcquent speeches were made in fayor
of tbe bill, and among the speakers were
Messrs. Lusk, Lineback, Smith of
Stanly, Woodard, Winborne, Smith of
Bladen,. Peebles, McClammy, Robin
son, fleming and i nomas. Among
those who opposed the bill were Messrs
Henderson. Hileman. Cox, Hunter,
Bryan and Speer. The speech of Mr.
Lusk was an eloquent pleading for the
memory of North Carolina Confederate
soldiers,-and drew tears from his own
eyes, as, well as from his listeners, Mr.
Lineback's vigorous support of the
measure, as that of Messrs. Win
borne. McClammy, Howard and others,
drew enthusiastic applause, both from
tbe floor and 'the galleries. The gal
leries were .fairly overflowed with tbe
ladies. The ? first test vote waa taken
upon a motion to table an amendment
offered jbv Mr. Ewart. This would have
tabled the "bill with it, but the motion
failed by a vote of 45 to 61. The bill
then passed second reading by a vote of
60 to 38.i . '
The House to-night passed a bill for
the relief of certain county officials and
their sureties, including Robeson,
Duplin, lejK Hanover and others. It
enables- the boards of education and
county commissioners to compromise
and settle the losses suffered by failures
of the Bank of New Hanover.
The HoasValso , passed the Senate
substitute forcjtbe bill affecting the
Brunswick Ferry and Bridge Company.
It reduces charges and requires building

AN "EXTRA" DEMAND.
The People of Wilmington Were Thirat-
ins for Be liable News from Baleiab,
and They Got It Through the Star.
At 2 o'clock p. m. yesterday an
"Extra" was issued from the Star
office, which, while it contained bad
news, was in greater demand here than
anything of the kind has been in
several years. Everybody was anxious
to know what the Legislature would
do about our city charter, and some
news had been received early in the day
through private soufces, that aroused a
feeling of hopefulness as to the result.
This feeling was soon dissipated, how
ever, we are sorry to sayj by that con
tained in the Star "Extra," referred to
above, and which was as follows:
ALAS! FOR WILMINGTON.

second reading in tbe House to-day

amendment for continuing the old
Board two years. The vote was 60 to
39. It will be special order for to-mor
row on third reading. It is claimed that
Russell vanquished Skinner in the
Populist caucus last night, and that the
bill as passed to-day was as Kusseii ad
vocated it in caucus. The folice Com
mission will elect all the police, city at
torney, city treasurer, &c.
Cylinder Press Wanted.
