L,ADUKCtta vmum. Candidates for Aldermen Recommended for All Except Second Ward Committee Reports Large Attendance. The White Laborers' Union held an important meeting last night, during which a number of matters of import ance to that organization were acted upon, notably the endorsement of can didates for aldermen from the Various wards of the city. L1 The at tendance upon the meeting was estimated at from 400 to 500. President Dowling presided and Sec retary Marshall was at his desk. The committee appointed to confer with certain employers with reference to the substitution of white; for col ored labor and to induce certain con tractors to give jobs of house-painting to white men reported progress. In the matter of inducing the county authorities to establish night schools for the benefit of minors who by rea son of having to work could not take advantage of, the public j schools, the committee, composed of Messrs. Jno. R. Marshall, Vran Swann and Jno. C. Walton, made a report which was very gratifying to the Union. In connection with the report a letter from the county Board of Education was read stating that the Board was desirous of establishing such a school as soon as practicable, if not during this school year then probably next year, and asking that the Union ascertain as acurately as possible the number of people who would patronize such schools. ; The committee first waited on the County Commissioners in Reference to the schools and were referred to the Board of Education a&the proper authorities, and the letter referred to was the result of a conference with the committee. - n The last feature of business to en gage the attention of the Union was the matter of recommending candi dates for aldermen of the various wards of the city, except the Second Ward, the naming of whom was left to the Democratic Club, with the under standing that two leading merchants are to be selected. The recommenda tions from the other wards are as fol lows:-'"'' ; First Ward Mr. Reuben Grant and Mr. Chas. H.Craig. i Third Ward Mr. W. N. Harriss and Mr. B. Frank Boy kin. Fourth Ward Mr. Jno. H. Hanby and Mr. W. E. Yopp, i Fifth Ward Mr. Jno. C. Walton and Mr. John Bell. I The Union decided to hold ! meetings every night from now until the Demo- crati ("Primaries are held. All mem bers andi friends of the Union are urged to attend. 1 New Building on Princess Street. Mr. ii. M. bummerell has closed a contract with Mr. Richard J. Jones lor the building of an office and store room just east of the old jail building :on Princess street, which is now occu pied by Brown's carriage shops. The new building will be of brick, two stories, and will be situated between the carriage shop and the livery stable apartment, on the site of a carriage store-room now located between these buildings. The lower floor of the new building will be occupied as a store room and the second floor will be used for j office apartments. , . It will have a frontaere of nineteen feet and will be about thirty feet in length. The work of clearing away the 'old building preparatory to the erection of the new one will be commenced next week. They Want A Sewer Placed. There is much complaint about the condition of Dawson street between Second and Third. It is said to be a perfect cesspool for filth and' miasma, so much so that the health of the poor people who reside thereabout is very materially impaired and deaths occur which are directly attributed to these conditions. Those interested in the well being of residents of that section insist that the authorities should place a sewer there before the Summer and thereby avert the germation and spread of infectious diseases. There is already a sewer just below this section of the street which can be connected. The sanitary and street committess would do well to inyestigate these con ditions. Funeral of Miss Stokley. The funeral of Miss i .Hester J. Stokley, whose death was announced iu yesterday's Star, was held from the residence of her brother, Mr. W. H. Stokley. on Wrightsville Sound yesterday afternoon at 3. o'clock, Dr. Calvin S. Blackwell conducting the services. ! The remains were brought to the city after the service at the i residence on a special train over the Seacoast railroad and the interment was made in Oakdale cemetery.

Interpretation of "Under the Red Robe" by William Morris Delighted a Large Audience. j The management of the Wilming ton Opera House is to be congratu lated upon the splendid success; which attended the presentation , of Under The Bed Kobe," last night py Mr. William Morris and an unusually strong company of . histrionic artists, There was a remarkably good audience despite the fact that the Lenten season prevented the atteadence of many who would otherwise haye patronized the play. And it is safe to say that it is the concensus of opimon that preted by Mr. Morris and his excel lent company, is by odds the best at traction brought here this season. The play is admirably staged and throughout every act the spectators were held with the closest and most interested attention as the thread of Stanley Weyman's thrilling story . as dramatized by Edward Rose was spun by the players showing hois' that "Bil De Berault's honor, rooted tin dis honor, stood, and faith, -unfaithful, kept him falsely true." r I Mr. Morris, as Dil De Berault. and Miss Frances Gaunt, as Renee de Cocheforet, were accorded especial praise for their interpretation of the leading roles. Their support was all that could be desired. Space will; not admit of detailed reference to the vari ous players; but commendation is especially due Mr. Frank McOlynn, as Richelieu, Mr. H. S. jNorthrup, as Henriile Cocheforet, and Misi Marga ret Kenmare, as Madame de Coche foret . They were all thorough mas-. ters of their different roles. I Wilmington theatre-goers i always appreciate really high-class- attrac tions, and none has received higher commendation than "Under the Bed Robe." The British Guard Band under the direction of Lieut. Dan Godfrey will be the next attraction. The engage ment is for the 16tb inst.. and will be the musical attraction of the sea son.' ". ; . " I .'

Mr. Hanna, his : foreman, is here now arranging for certain ma terial and preparing for the reception of appliances and workmen who will be brought from Knoxyille.
