Foster and Com mieeiooera Moore, Nixon, Dempsey and Alexander la their seats. After tha tha reading of the minutes by Assistant Register of Dseds Manly, Dr. W. D. McMillan appeared before the Board and recommended that tbe four-year-old child of one of the patients at the City Hospital be sent to the Coanty Home, as it was an annoyance to soma of tbe patients. His advice was taken, aad the child ordered to be sent to the Coanty Home. Tbe chairman exhibited the books. which, by order of tbe Board at a pre vious meeting, had been purchased for oae 10 keeping account of prisoners let out by the county. Tbe county attorney. Marsden Bel lamy. Esq., stated that Judge Allen rec ommended to tbe Biard the calling ot an extra session of the Superior Court about the first week la December for the purpose of clearing np the docket. This step was contemplated. Mr. B:l- lamy explaioed. lor the reason that there are certain cites which so clog tbe docket that other catet am deferred and civil justice practically denied to many of our citunt. He added that under the law the judge himtelf had the power to call the extra term, but in thiecaie Jadge Allen bad verv coarte oat'y referred the matter to the com- alstiooers. who could petition the Gov ernor for the extra term. WHAT IT WILL COST THX COUWTY. Ilia, of coarse, aaderstood that tbe contemplated term will not be near so mnch expense to the county as a atmilar term of tbe Criminal Court would be. the only outlay being the amount pud the judge and jurors. Oa motion, tbe chairman was au thorized to address a pstitioa to Gov. D. L Ratseli. atkiag for a special term of the Superior Court, if at tbe expira tion of the pretent term the coanty at torney, after making a careful examina tion of the docket, shall think such a atep necessary.

T BOARD OF ALDERMEN. Btcular Monthly M o tine Varl out Matters Coatldrrea Tha Matket Ordinances Am Bdad A rtetian Walla Be pcrta 1 1 Oonam'tteat Trea son r'a Statement. The Board of -Aldermen met last night at 8.80 o'clock In regnlar monthly sestion. Mayor S. P. Wright presiding, and Aldermen Twining, Green, Walker, Keith, Hewlett, Norwood and Benson being present. The minutes of two meetings held during the month of Sep tember, one regular and one called, were read and approved. Alderman Hewlett, of the Market Committee, reported that the stalls, stores, etc. in the different matket houses bad been rented according to law, and that they had been rented for more this year than last. Alderman Keith, of the Lights Com mittee, stated that there had been some complaint about the electric light sys tem, bat that he believed everything was now working all right. Mayor Wright stated that the city was at pretent in a better sanitary condition than for a long time. Alderman Keitb, of the Water Works Committee.said that they had contracted for tbe boring of an artesian well (as told in tbe Star) and that the work was to have been started on tbe 15th of last month, but that he bad been Informed by the Board of Health that they would not permit digging at present in the city, and consequently he had telegraphed tbe contractors not to come until Octo ber lit; that he had received a letter from the contractors saying they would commence the work of boring on the 15:b inst. Alderman Walker inquired about the placing ot several water hydrants in different parts of tbe city, which Ifae Board had decided to do. but which had not been done. Alderman Keith said he had ordered the hydraats placed and thought his order bad been carried out. Alderman Keitb said he would make motion to set aside $4 000 to pay tbe artesian well contractors for their work; not that the money would be needed shortly, but it would show the good faith ot the city. The motion was duly seconded and carried. A communication was received from Dr. W. D. McMillan, superintendent of health, stating that he had found it necessary to keep health officers Lee aad McFarland. who had been tempora rily appointed until September 15th, employed until October 1st. Oa mo tion. Dr. McMillan's action was ap proved and officers Lee and McFarland ordered to receive pay for fifteen daya extra work. A petition from a number ot retail grocers and others was read, asking that the ordinance prohibiting tbe sale ot meats not salted, six days instead of three, as before, outside the market house be repealed. After hearing the communication rei d, each of the Alder men seemed to think that six days was too long a time asked. Alderman Keith made motion to reduce the limit to foor days. Alderman Twining offered an amendment reducing tbe limit to five days. Alderman Walker offered a sub J s'.itute reducing the limit to three days Tbe motion, amendment and substitute ere all three daly seconded. E. K. Bryan, Erq., appeared before the Board and requested that the pres ent ordinance be not repealed. Before any intimation, he said, that the repeal of tbe ordinance was thought of, the stalls in the market houses bad been rented, and, according to tbe statement made by the chairman (Alderman Hew lett) of tbe Market Committee, had brought a larger rent than the year be fore, which plainly showed that the in crease was due on account of the butchers thinking they, tax-payers, were getting protection for what they were paying tor, etc, etc. Herbert McClammy, Etq , also ap peared before the Board and argued in favor of repealing the ordinance, saying that it was simply a monopoly on meats, which the butchers in tbe markets wisbed to secure, and compel the pro ducers to sell at their (the butchera") price, and for the city to give them the exclusive right to sell meats. Alderman Hewlett made a motion not to repeal the ordinance. Alderman Keith inquired how much greater the rent ob tained this year was over last year. Clerk Rice replied very little. Alderman Keith said then if necessary he thought the difference should be refunded, rather than cause a hardship on the consumers and producers of tbe meat. Alderman K eith withdrew his motion in favor of the substitute reducing the limit to three days offered by Alderman Walker. The substitute was put. but the vote was confuting, so a roll call vote was taken, which resulted in Alder men Keith, Walker and Benson voting for, and Aldermen Twining, Hewlett, Green and Norwood voting against; consequently tbe substitute was lost. After a brief consultation Alderman Norwood moved to reduce the limit to four days, and Alderman Walker aeconded the motion. Alderman Hew lett offered an amendment reducing the limit to five days, and Alderman Green seconded this motion. Alderman Keith spoke strongly in favor of tbe motion made by Alderman Norwood, and against the amendment offered by Alderman Hewlett. Alderman Hewlett's amendment was put and lost, and the motion was then . . . a nut and carried. Aldermen worwooa Benson, Walker and Keith voting for it, and Aldermen Twining, Green and Hewlett against it. A number of applicants were granted oermissioo to build dwelling houses and other buildings in different portions of the city, and several applications were reiected. The report of Dr. W. D. McMillan, superintendent of health, for the month of September, was read and ordered filed. Tbe monthly report of Chief of Fire Deoartment Charles Schnibben, show Ing that there were six alarms of .fire daring the month of September, was also read and ordered filed. Alderman Keith said he had been shown a sample of a gasoline lamp which cost only 13 cents to burn for eighteen hours; that tbe lamp cost about $2 80. and that he thought it would boa good plan, to replace tbe oil lamps in tbe city wherever necesiary, with the gasoline lamps spoken of. Alderman Keith then made motion to that effect, which was adopted. The monthly report of City Clerk and Treasurer F. B. Rice, for the month of September, was read and ordered filed. The report showed bilance from last re turn, 85.479 88; receipts, $10,595 68; paid out, $7,845 83; on hand. $8,629. 18. The Board at 9 50- o'clock adjourned. SUPERIOR COURT.

Counsel for the defendant made motion for a new trial, which was overruled, and then an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, which granted a new trial. In tbe action the complaint alleges, in brief, that Mr. Burnett was in a passen ger coach attached to a freight train at the Surry street depot of the W.. N. & N. railway to go to tbe seven-mile pest to see a friend; that in switching the en gine struck the passenger coach with such violence that the plaintiff was knocked down in the aisle and received a gash on the bead, which seriously in jured bim and laid him up for some time. It is charged that the defendant railway was excessively rough in switch ing and that through its negligence the plaintiff was injured and consequently sued to recover damages sustained to his person. Jno. D. Bellamy, Etq , and Col. A. M. Waddell, represent the de fendant, and C. P. Locker. Esq.. and Bellamy & Bellamy the plaintiff. Shortly before 6 o'clock Court took a recess until 10 o'clock this morning. with the case still on trial. HARRIS NICKEL PLATE SHOW. Fine Fcrformanoe Tettrdy Afternoon and Ereniag; to Appreciative Andlenoet To-Ntabt tht Itt Appetraoee. Harris' Nickel Piate show was in the city yesterday, and, although not the largest that has ever visited Wilming tonwhich Mr. W. Harris, the sole owner, does not claim the excitement was ust as great, and, baring the me nazerte, the psrformiocs was i ast as fine. The circus is located at Hilton, from where at the parade, a very creditable one. at 11 o'clock in the morning, started and pasted through the principal streets of tbe city, lined on both sides with crows of people. The first performance was given at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and although the was decidedly stormy, with aa occa sional down-pour of rain, yet a fair-size audience was covered by the main tent and came away thoroughly satisfied and pleased. Tbe first face the writer saw upon en tering the tent was that of genial press agent Barton, of the circus, who, per haps, does more towards obtaining a large attendance, by means of his polite wav and happy manner, than any other other strong feature of tbe show is tbe The programme consisted of daring bare-back acts by gaily decked eques trians mounted on fine steeds, thrilling aerial feats, daring acrobatic sketches, wonderful tricks by dumb animals, and side-splitting comicalities by numerous clowns. The "Three Brothers Act per formed by the Fiood brothers was a dar ing and skillful piece of acrobatic work, while the bareback riding of Mr. Albert Orton was both thrilling end pleasing. Perhaps the most humorous sketch in the show occurs near tbe last when Mr. George Motz, with the assistance of an intelligent donkey and a knowing beau tiful pony, makes his bow as a clown and proceeds to make "Rome bowl! An wonderful tricks peformed by a de cidedly large elephant. "Gypsey," and her baby. "Barney." Capt. Bernard Shea, the two elephants' trainef, makes both beasts, accomplish skillful tricks. Another performance was given to night at 7 o'clock, to a "tent full." The third performance will take place this afternoon at 2 o'lock and the last to night at 8 o'clock. Wreek of tbe Boribner.

The3 Temple Ctp'Contftt Between Balti more and Botton Flrtt Game Won , by tbe Iitter 8o:ra 13 to 13. As the summary below will show and from all accounts. Baltimore by far out played the Beaneaters, but Boston did some daring base-running, some lucky hits at the right tide, and assisted by the darkness, although the moon was shining brightly during the last two Inn ings, won the game. The Orioles batted "Kid" Nichols completely to pieces, and made Lewis, the Brooklyn boy, sea sick. Jennings, Baltimore's crack short stop, was easily tbe star. I; He batted at all times and with terrific force, while Long, bis opponent, did not at any time equal his work at the start. Hurst and Emslie umpired the! game fairly. The Beaneaters were helped to win the vic tory by many howling rooters and two extremely loud brass bands. v BOSTON. A B !
