Newark Manufacturer Advances the Last Instalment of Fire Thousand Dol lars. The World iw. "It turns opt now that Bob Fitzsimmons was not bluffing when he told Phillip J. Dwyer he thought he could raise the $5,000 needed to- complete the stakes in the big match. Fitz discov ered a backer yesterday. . The man who has come to the front for the New Zea lander does not desire to have his name published. It is said that he is a wealthy Newark manufacturer. When Fitz got the big check he turned it over to bis lawyer, a., m. rnena, oi Friend & House, who will cash it on Monday and hand the money to Stake holder Dwyer. Fitz wants to meet Cor- bett's representative on that day to discuss the question of battle-ground. Like many others, bod oeueves mat Florida is out of the question in this connection. From all I can learn, he said last nieht. "this club has no existence. It is simply a bluff. The $5 ouo aepositea by Joe Vend lg will not be forfeited if his club fails to pull off the fight. Cor- bett and myself will divide the $3,000 to be advanced for expenses in that case,. and that's not much of an inducement, m sure.

The grand jury having concluded its labors made its report yesterday, and was discharged. The report is as follows: Superior Court, April term. 1895. To His Honor Judge Hoke:. we, your grand lury. bee to reoort that we have faithfully and dilieentlv investigated every matter broueht be fore us by the Solicitor or upon informa tion, and nave lound twentv-Hve true bills, five hot true bills, and have made one presentment. We have visited the county jail and county home, and after consultation with some of the pastors of this city, who have taken marked interest in the Associated Charities of the county, and also with some of the County Commis sioners, we nave decided in connection with our report to submit some regula tions, Which we would recommend be adopted lor the future government of these institutions. We find the county iail crowded with nearly twice the number of prisoners in the colored ward for which the jail was was built, and in this crowded state, with no change of clothes, and no facilities for bathing, and inadequate ventilation, ver min abound and foul disease and death must result if some change is not made before the hot weather comes. No hu mane man .would herd dumb animals so closely and in such an atmosphere. We Diame no one, as Mr. King, the jailor, has done everything in his power with the means at his hand to ameliorate their condition. J We would recommend that the county should furnish cheap clothes to every prisoner admitted, retaining his own clothes and returning same to him upon release, keeping the prison clothes thor oughly clean. We would also recom mend that bathing facilities be provided and that all the prisoners be required to bathe at least twice a week, and that steps be taken to exterminate the ver min that infest the premises and that no more prisoners be admitted to any ward than the, number for which the ward was built. The County Home we find possibly as well conducted as could be expected un der the present system of management, but in our judgment the present system, from a charitable point ot view, is radi cally defective, and even from a business point of view is capable of great im provement. The county has built and is maintain ing an extensive plant, but it remains, so far as the white poor are concerned, comparatively empty and great diffi culty has been found in inducing per sons, although alone in the world and abiolutely dependent, to consent to go to the Home under the present manage ment, and additional money has to be given to support outside of the Home, Charity experts everywhere have come to the conclusion that public institutions ought to be humanely and kindly con ducted and thus outdoor reliefs can be reduced to a minimum. In our County Home we find the su perintendent's family occupying a large two-story building with eight large rooms, while the male and female white patients occupy only the two wings, and no accommodation whatever for chil dren. The superintendent has free of rent a good farm and free labor, except for the obligation of giving them food and clothes. The inmates make no com plaint about the food except that those working in the fields complained of re ceiving only two meals a day. We could not hnd that the superintendent had given them any clothes or shoes and some did not have enough filthy rags on them to conceal their persons. The sexes have not been properly separated and immorality of the grossest kind has existed. In view of these facts we would recommend. 1. To cut off the Home lrom the farm, leaving only enough ground for the proper appearance of the Home, the recreation ot the inmates, and a vegeta ble garden in immediate connection with the Home. 3. At some suitable site upon the farm erect a simple farmer's house with nec essary outbuildings. 8. Rent out the farm to the highest bidder, due regard being had to respon sibility and humanity, giving the farmer as now the labor of the prisoners and re quiring occasional inspection to see that he feeds and clothes them properly. 4. Employ at a salary a suitable super intendent of the Home, making the selection entirely upon moral grounds and executive ability, The superin tendent should have for the use of his family the four rooms on the lower floor ot the central building, reserving for children or others the upper rooms. 5. The prisoners of the Home to be at the expense ot the county, and each in mate to have clothes furnished either in lieu of or in addition to their own, so that they could have proper changes and avoid the vermin which are so prevalent there now. 6. Bathing facilities should bs sup plied, and bathing at least every week should be compulsory. W. H. chadbourn. foreman. Anhneaer-Bnesoh Brewing Company. Mr. Louis H.

Cook vs. Mearea Baisell and Edwards Plead for Cook Bountree Holds the . Fort for Mearea The Court ,Deoides That Mearea la tbe Duly Commissioned and Qualified Judge Appeal to tbe Supreme Court. After opening Court Judge Hoke an nounced that he had examined tbe cer tified copies of proceedings of the Legis lature, as handed up lor his finding by counsel on both sides, and that they seemed to be the same, with the excep tion of one that went a little further than the other. He found as facts, that the election of Mr. Cook took place on the 11th day of February, and that the act creating the Criminal Circuit became a law two days later on -the 13th. Upon which finding Col. Edwards, of counsel for relator, Charles A. Cook, asked tor an intimation from the Court as to whether be should address the Court on the question of the right of the Legislature to elect a Judge of the Cir cuit. The Court replied that it would be pleased to hear frpm counsel on all questions involved in the case, but that he was rather of the opinion that the Legislature had the right to name The Judge of the Court after it was in exist ence, but that he wished to hear argu ment, especially on tbe right of the Gov ernor of the State to fill the vacancy, and as to whether a vacancy existed at the time of the appointment of the Hon. O. P. Meares as Judge. Col. Edwards then addressed the Court in a lengthy and exhaustive argument in support of the position of the relator, Mr. Geo. Rountree followed on behalf of Judge Meares, making a splendid ar gument and quoting numerous authori ties. A number of his fellow-members of the Bar spoke in the highest term of his effort. Judge Russell, representing Mr. Cook, made a good speech, plausible and in genious, and closed the argument at about 5 o'clock. Tbe Court then rendered its decision. that the relator, Chas. A. Cook, is not entitled to the Judgeship, and that O. P. Meares is tbe duly qualified and legally appointed Judge of the Criminal Circuit Court until his successor is elected by the next General Assembly. From this decision counsel for relator appealed to tbe Supreme Court. The case has excited a great deal of interest throughout the State and will continue to attract attention until it is finally decided. This it is thought will be done at the present term of the Su preme Court. Other cases disposed of in the Supe rior Court yesterday were as follows : The jury in the case of Beverly Scott vs. S. H. Fishblate, after remaining out over twenty-four hours, returned a ver dict in favor of the defendant. Final decree was made in the case of Junius Davis, receiver, vs. John Haar, Jr., et al, and Junius Davis, re ceiver, vs. Peter Mohr and wile and others. Tbe Court will meet to-morrow at 10 o'clock and take up the remaining cases on the calendar. AUDIT AND FINANCE. Tne Bond of City Clerk and Treasurer Bioe Br jeoted Upon Opinion of the City At torney That It Does Not Meet Require ments of the Law. The Board of Audit and Finance met in adjourned session yesterday after noon. The chairman, Mr. Calder, said that he had called the Board together for the purpose of receiving the opinion of the City Attorney upon the bond tendered by F. B. Rice in the Fidelity and De posit Co. City Attorney Sutton, in his opinion, recitecLobjections to the bond and said that it is insufficient to meet the require ments of the law. After the opinion had been read by the clerk. Chairman Calder said that it justified the action of the Board and made it impossible to accept the bond. Mr. McQueen moved that the bond be rejected. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hanby and was adopted, The $10,000 bond was not taken' up, Mr. Rice asking that it be deferred un til he had furnished a bond in. place of the one rejected ,by the Board. Mr. Rice asked, also, if a bond from a surety company would be accepted if it con formed to the requirements of the law. He was assured that it would, The following resolution was then adopted: Resolved, That it is the sense of this Board that if a bond ot a reliable se curitv company is presented complying with the requirements as set forth in the ODinion of tbe citv attorney to the Board such a bond should be accepted On motion of Mr. McQueen the com pensation of the Clerk of the Board, Capt. John Cowan.was fixed at $1,000 per year. He stated that this was all the law allowed and that it required a man of judgment and intelligence to perform the duties ot the office properly. Mr. Calder, the chairman, expressed the same appreciation of Mr. Cowan's ser vices. The Board adjourned subject to the call of the chairman. Coal Shipment!. The coal chutes at the C. F. & Y. V. R.

ALL THE MILITARY COMPANIES IN THE 8TATE INVITED TO THE UNVEILING CEREMONIES Cleik ot Court Young Bt fuses to Qualify a Magis'r.ie Appointed by the Governor The Penitentiary Equabble-Iiight Frost Hepubliean Mass Meeting. Star Correspondence. Raleigh, N. C, April 20. . Mr. George F. Kennedy, who wes ap pointed a magistrate by the Governor in place of an appointee of the Legislature who failed to qualify and who Clerk of the Court Young refused to qualify when application was made, to-day went be fore Mr. Young and demanded that he be given the oath of office. Mr. Young refused and cited Mr. Kennedy to chap ter 288 of the Acts of 1885, which Mr. Young says gives a magistrate ninety days in which to qualify. It is very likely that Mr. Kennedy will enter suit against Mr. Young. Marshburn, the man who was appointed by the Legisla ture, was in the city yesterday and failed to qualify. Mr. Kennedy says that Marshburn has told several of bis fi tends that be would not accept the office. btate Treasurer Worth, who has teen riding a very high horse for. the past lew days, came down a lew degrees yes terday. Mr. Worth told your corre spondent Thursday that he did not in tend to pay any penitentiary vouchers until the courts decided which of the two claimants was the legally elected one. To-day he said that he would continue to pay the expenses of the penitentiary as usual. 1 ventured to ask, was the matter of the different offi cers' salaries included? The Treasurer hesitated and finally said he was not prepared to speak about this matter. It is well known that Mr. Marion Butler influenced Mr. Worth in this action. Mr. Butler left the city and Mr. Worth got weak in the knees when the pressure was applied. Mr. Worth cashed a voucher signed by ' Mr. Leazer, superin tendent, to-day, which was in favor of a Raleigh merchant in the sum of $105. Capt. Wr Hr- Day, one of Kitchin s counsel, tells me that he and the other counsel for Kitchin have submitted the proposition of having an "agreed" case to Leazer's attorneys. There was light frosts here both yes terday and this morning. When the list ot magistrates for Wake county was first pubbsaed the statement was made here that a negro was ap pointed a J. P. This was denied, especially by Popu lists, but it now tyrns out that there was a negro appointed in Little River town ship. The Governor s Guards will soon issue invitations inviting all the military com panies in the Mate to attend the un veiling ceremonies of the Confederate monument here on the 20th of May. Companies will attend from several Southern States: Tbe Republicans had their mass meet ing last night and they decided to have primaries in the different wards Tuesday night, and a regular convention Thurs day night. Loge Harris, who favored holding a mass meeting and putting out a citizens ticket, was not present. Loge had an idea that the crowd was "agin him, so he remained away. John Nichols seemed to cut more ice than any one else. John has been the under dog for the past two years, but he rose up last evening. PRODUCE EXCHANGE. Meeting Board of Managers-Cel. J.
