SPECIAL MEETING - r HELD LAST NIGHT White Laborers' Union Adopt Resolo " lions Relative to : New tlty Charter Bill No Endorsements. The White Laborers' Union held a well attended and enthusiastic -meeting in Hfbernian Hall last night. President M. F. Dowling presided, and Jno. G. Marshall was secretary. The president stated that the object of the meeting was to consider the matter .of the new charter bill now, pending in the Legislature The mat-, ter was briefly, and pointedly dis cussed by -President Dowling, : Secre tary Marshall, Messrs. R. M. Capps, V. Swann W. W; King, M. G. Silvia, Jno. A. Lockfaw, J. Smith. Capt. W. P. Oldham and others. : c .1 President Dowling. and Secretary Marshall were appointed a committee to go to Raleigh in the interest of the; following resolution, which . was unanimously adopted by a rising vote: - : .1 i ' Whereas, News has reached us of a movement on foot in the General Assembly of North Carolina to further amend the charter of the City of Wil mington, N. C, by changing the pro vision" in the bill as already passed by tne present Mouse of representatives, regarding the appointment of the Po lice and Fire Commission by the in coming Board of Aldermen;, and, whereas, the bill passed by the House of Representatives was a compromise agreed to by the majority of the white voters of this community in order to quiet a small minority, and -was the full limit of compromise to ; which a majority of the white voters of this community would agree. ; Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That we do vehemently protest against any change in the method of appointment of said Police and Fire Commission (if the same is not made an elective office) other than that provided in the bill as pass whereby the will of the majority of the voters cannot be expressed through the incoming Board of Aldermen, since the present. Board of Aldermen ap pointed by a committee in a time of turmoil, do. not represent a majority of the white voters. . , ' . -. Resolved further, That" a copy of these resolutions be sent our Senator, W. J. Davis, and our Representatives, Rountree and Willard, with a request that they urge the passage of the House bill, as passed, without amend; ment, and if it is necessary to change the number of days, for our Legisla ture to fix. the number, so as to surely have an election by a 'majority vote. In addition to the adoption ; of the resolution it was the sense of the meet ing than only those aldermen who were opposed - to the reduction of wages, should receive the support, of the laboring classes, and that while it was not' the policy of the Union to work any hardships on the employers, it was nevertheless its province, to pro tect the interests of the laborers. The committee appointed to urge the provisions of the resolution onthe Leg isture were instructed to report at a special meeting which is called for Friday night March 3rd, in place of the regular meeting Monday night. It was also decided to make no en dorsements of candidates for city officers. .: "UNDER THE RED ROBE.' An Especially Stroni Attraction at the Opera House Friday Night "Under the Red Robe," the greatest dramatic success seen in New York for many years, with its powerful company,- magniuce nt - see aery and his torically correct costumes, will be the attraction at the Wilmington Opera House on Friday night of this week. The play is said to be as fascinating as the novel, and there is every indica tion that a large and fashionable au dience will witness the performance. The play begins, as the book does, in Zaton's gaming house, and the scene which, in -the book, takes place in the palace of Richelieu, is transferred for dramatic reasons hither. The second act takes place at the Chateau de Cocheforet, where much of the story is vividly told. Then there is the scene at the cross roads, which is just as it is jvritten in the book, indicating wonderful ; dramatic pos sibilities. Here the court yard of the inn on the way to Paris is shown. The final act takes place in Richelieu's palace. William Morris, the eminent romantic actor, heads an unusually strong company. .j;"-V" A Priniary Called. , I . It beins- shown conclusively in an article in the Stab of yesterday that it was to late to call a primary in strict accordance with the charter bill unless the date for holding the city election were extended, the City Democratic Executive Committee met last night to consider the questiomof calling a pri mary, and decided to do sol During the session of the Committee the Stab communicated with Representatives Willard by telegraph and he replied that it would probably be best for the Executive Committee to call a primary at once, This information was" given to the Oommitte,The call for the pri mary, to be held March 13th, appears in this issue of the Stab. Thecall is framed as nearly as' possible in accor dance with the charter bill and notice was filed last night with the City Clerk and Treasurer. - ' Smallpox at Crooly and Brinkley. Dr. McMillan, Superintendent of Health, told a reporter of i the j Star yesterday that several cases of small' pox had been reported in -and around Qponly and Brinkley, tiie places through which Hysner, the man , re cently discharged from the pest house here, iad passed on his . way to Wil mington.!' The fact that there was no contagion occasioned here by the visit of Hysner speaks in no uncertain terms 6f the vigilance and thoroughness of the work of the city health officers. .
