Two Twelve Inch Rifles- Arrived the Atlantic Coast Line for Port : . Caswell. ' by Two twelve inch rifles for Fort Cas well arrived some time during Monday night via Atlantic Coast Line and are now lying on flat cars in the W & freight yard. They are sd extremely heavy that extra trucks had to be put under the cars. The .two guns and the two boxes f fixtures with each one weigh 233.031 pounds, v As the cars were of 100,000 pounds capacity each, it is easy to see that extra precautions had to be taken to prevent a break down.! ' ' ' IT- v - - The guns are tremendous m ; size. At the muzzle they are twenty inches n diameter, the bore being twelve inches in diameter; - At the breech the diameter is forty-two inchest I The guns are thirty-six feet long and at their greatest circumference measure 132 feet. They were shipped here from Farmingdale, N. J. The work of re- moving them from ihe.cars on ' board the lighters upon ; which--they "will be carried down the river is very difficult and it will be a day' or so before the : monster guns will ' be taken to the fort. The public therefore will havp an excellent opportunity to go and se I what Uncle Sam is ' sending to keep Spaniards and others out of the. pori of Wil m ington. : The projectiles : fired by the big guns weigh 1,000 pounds each and the charge of powder weighs 500 pounds. If the shot used is of the armor, pierc ing kind it will cost 40 cents a pound, and the powder osts 30 cents a pound. A single shot therefore " would "cost pver five hundred dollars. -I The work at Fort Caswell does not lag. - At the Atlantic Coast Line Wharf yesterday several cars of iron to be used in the fortifications were being unloaded.

I Unconditionally.; r DEMOCRATS NOW IN CONTROL Proceediozs-of the Meeting of the Rein "1ar i Board Committees Appointed. j ;i Disclosures of Illegal. Acts of j - - f the Bogus Board, i ir The long fight for supremacy be tween the Republican and Democratic Boards of County Commissioners was brought to an abrupt . close yesterday by the unconditional surrender of the Republican Board.?; The following en try made on. the eommissioneFs record book by order of; ex-Chairman F. W. Foster of the Republican Board and read before the Democratic Board yesj terday tells the story of the surrender in a most concise manner. The entry! is as follows: i i. "JudeeWi a-O'B. Robinebn hair-: ing declined to continue to the! hearing the restraining order issued bir him on: the application of this Board, and having intimated his opinion that this is not tne legal Board of Commis sioners, that from this date this Board will ne longer act as the Board of Commissioners of New Hanover county." : V. The above entry waa read before a called meeting of the Democratic Board : held at 2 :30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. There were present Chair man Roger Moore and Commissioners J no. L. Boatwright James Cowan. W. F, Alexander, John Barry. W. B. McKoy as County Attorney and Capt W. P. Oldham, as cleri to the Board : of Audit and Finance and tem porary clerk to the Board of Commis sioners were also present As soon as CoL Moore called the meeting to order Capt. Oldham was instructed to summons Register of Deeds G. W. Norwood to attenl with the records of the County Commis sioners and serve as clerk to the Board, an order that had been sent him at several previous meetings and each time declined; ; this time, however, Capt Oldham brought back news that the Register of Deeds would do the bidding of the Board. This was not altogether a surprise to the Board in asmuch as the surrender of the old commissioners on advice from Gov ernor Russell had been foreshadowed in the Stab's Raleigh correspondence yesterday morning and confirmed by subsequent developments prior to the meeting of the Democratic Board. When Register of Deeds Norwood came in with the records he advanced to wheriJ Chairman Moore was sitting and addressing him said that g he wished to present to the Board the Itey to the commissioner's room and . keys to the desk therein. This he did, he said, by order of CoL F. W. Fester, chairman of the late county commis sioners. He also stated to the Board that Col. Foster had written papt John Wl Galloway, late clerk to the Board of! Audit and Finance, instruct ing him to go the Court House! and give to CoL Moore the combination used on the iron safe in the commis sioner's office. The Board then preceded at once with routine business hy calling upon Norwood to read the records of all meeting held by Col. Foster, F. J. Dempsey and Jordan Nixon (RepubJ lican commissioners) since April 30th, when the fight which ended yesterday so ingloriously -for the Republicans was inaugurated. The object was to see what had been done, in order that they might form some idea as to what acts of the Republican Board they would endorse; as all their acts were illegal and if they stand- at all it must be by the endorsement of the legal Democratic Board. The reading proceeded without an incident of especial note until the minutes of a, meeting held July 12th was reached. At this meeting a reso lution was passed authorizing the sheriff to; pay all warrants drawn by the chairman of the Board (CoL Foster) for: necessary running expenses of the county," out of any moneys which might come into his hands for the several funds, and providing that these cancelled warrants should be law ful vouchers for settlement between the county treasurer and the sheriff. This was a surprise to Col. Moore and his Board.as no report of the meet ing was given to the press and . the proceedings kept a profound secret until read yesterday. - The purpose of the resolution .was to avoid the recent decree ! of L Judge: Allen requiring Treasurer Chadboum to honor only. warrants j drawn bjrf Chairman Mo . re of the; Democratic Board. It was known! that Sheriff' French was pay ing Col. 4 Foster's warrants, but his authority was not ,, known ' before. . Action in regard to all the acts of the bogus" board was deferred until the regular August meeting. " It was immediately after the read ing of ;tbe minutes of the July 12th meeting that the entry regarding the final surrender of the CoL Foster Board, ! quoted in the introduction to this article was- read and the Demo cratic Board learned beyond the per adventure of-a doubt that they were to be no ! longer molested in the dis charge ' of their duties in directing the affairs of . the county. The proceed ings of the last meeting of the Demo cratic Board were then read by - Capt. Oldham and were duly approved. ' -:CoL Moore reported that he had issued the - subpoenas for the appear ance of county officers, justices of the peace, etc., (23 in number) to appear before the Board as provided for at a meeting held June 25th, And that said ubpoenas had been presented to Deputy Sheriff G. Z. French, together with the fees, by county attorneys Jno. ENING ' D. Bellamy and W.' B.! McKoy and Mr. French declined to serve them or accept the fees. " . ; CoL" Moore also reported that he had a communication from Superintendent Skelding, . of the Wilmington Street' Car and Electric Company, saying that he was ready to put the fans in the vault of the Register of i Deeds and in the bffice of Sheriff French, provided the Democratic Board would endorse the contract with CoL Foster. V ; j Commissioners Boatwright and Barry were appointed a committee to investigate as to the necessity of such an expenditure $29 for the two fans and $1,50 month for the current j. " JailorKing was called before the Board and asked in regard to the num ber of prisoners a waiting trial at! the next term of the Criminal Court He re ported twenty of that class of prisoners. i Commissioner Boatwright r stated that Clerk of the Court W. R. French, the solicitor and the judge of the dis trict thought an extra term advisable. Commissioner Barry was, on motion of Commissioner Boatwright, ap pointed a committee of one to investi gate ; the 'needs la the premises and ascertain the will of the Wilmington bar. i i; ;" . - Col. Moore charged the Board that they iwere assuming the reins of gov ernment under adverse circumstances and lit behoved them to get to work immediately, and that with a depleted treasury a strictly economical admin istration was necessary.

Oldham be entered by the Register of Deeds upon the regular record of the County Commissioners was adopted, and also that an entry be made that the reason why the records had not been previously recorded was that the Board had hot been able to get posses sion of the records to so record them. Jailor King came before the Board and asked that he be allowed to com plete certain sewerage and other im provements in progress at the jail. And also for a supply of new jail keys, the oldones being badly broken up. The committee on public build ings was instructed to inspect the work at the jail and take any neede d action j'j JM. a-';; ' -j i r '-j !
