County Pence Inspection by Committee and Its Acceptance Bonds Received and Applications for Redactions in Property Valuation Heard. A multitude of matters was brought up for the consideration of the Board of County Commissioners at their called meeting, which was held yes terday afternoon, the most important action probably being the announce ment of the various committees of the board for the ensuing year. These were announced by Col. Roger Moore the chairman, as follows: Auditing Col. Moore, Messrs. Holmes and McEachern. Hospital Messrs. Holmes, Mc Eachern and Col. Moore. Roads and Bridges Messrs. Alexan der, Holmes and CoL Moore. County Home Messrs. MoEachern, Alexander and CoL Moore. Public Building Col. Moore.Mesars. Holmes and Alexander. Another important matter was the receiving through a committee of the board, consisting of Commissioner Alexander and Capt Jno. Barry, road superintendent, the new county fence recently built under contract by the Wilmington Iron Works.- The com mittee, in its written report, says that the length of the fence is 6 37 100 miles and that it is strictly according to contract in every particular. Tne committee thinks the fence will stand twenty five years without repair. The other portion of the fence, which is constructed of rails and puncheons, a portion .of which extends into the sound and the length of which is ap proximately two miles, was also re ported in good order and fully up to contract. Aftr receiving the report of the committee, the Wilmington Iron Works was allowed $2. 14 5! 20 for their work in constructing the fence. The bond of W. L. Tharp, who was. awarded the contract for burying the out door poor, was tendered in the sum of $100 and referred back for completion. The matter of repairs and building of Whiskey Creek and Hewlet's Creek bridges was referred to the road sup erintendent. The contract for printing 1000 copies of the annual statement of the finances of the county was let to Mr. S. G. Hall at $24 50, the same to be used as a sup plement to the Dispatch. Mai. D- O'Connor was relieved of $55.60 tax paid by him through a mis apprehension that the property upon which the tax is levied be onged to EL G. Wadley individually when it was listed by the C. W. Pike Co. It was ordered that the amount be again taken up on the tax books as the prop erty of the Cf W. Pike Co., the same being in Cape Fear township. The bond of Mr. M. G. Chad wick as keeper of the County Home and House of Correction in the sum of $1,000, with Messrs. I. J. Bear, Geo.H. Heyer and H. P. West, as securities, each .ustifymg in the sum of $334, was ac cepted. The contract for keeping in repair the clock in the court house tower was awarded to Mr. H. Hauser for the year 1900, the consideration being $38.50 per annum exclusive of the breaking of certain wire ropes. At the request of Contractor A. G. Call, who had the contract for some bridge work for the county, the chair man was instructed to pay hands on the bridge 80 per cent, of thier claims until settlement in full is made. The estate of Isham Howrd, col ored applied for relief of tax on pro perty in all of block 36, the same hav ing been listed twice. The matter was referred to the chairman and county attorney with power to act, as was also an application of the same bearing from Lewis Chapman. Capt. E. G. Polley called attention to an error in listing his property in block 160. The valuation was ordered fixed at $1,750. Upon motion of Commissioner Mc Eachern it was resolved that the chair man be instructed to call the attention of the Board of Health to the condi tion of the city pound adjoining the jail property and ask that some steps be taken immediately to remedy the same. All members of the board were present a,t the meeting, Col. Moore presiding. Last night the auditing committee was in session for some time auditing bills for current expenses. A Holiday Marvel. The handsome show window of Mr. A. Shrier, "outfitter to mankind," on Front and Princess streets, is a mar vel of beauty in its decorations for the holidays.

An arch above, extending from one column to the other, is deco rated with the latest novelties in men wear. The display is quite attractive, and all passers-by stop to admire it The decoration is the handiwork of Mr. J. E. Benton, whose admirable taste is shown in the display. Let us bake your Cakes.

Mjths of Greece and Rome, a classical amateur entertainment, was presented last night at the Opera House before a very large audience. The performance was perfect in every detail, the scenic effect was brilliant, the dancing, drilling and acting of a high order, evincing marked skill and art, and a wonderful display of grace on the part of the participants. Mythological history was the theme and composed as 'it is of fiction, rom ance and traditions, gave the amateurs a wide range to which they adapted themselves in a thoroughly histrionic way. One hundred and ten of Wilming ton's most cultured and talented young ladies and gentlemen composed the company, which was under the super vision and direction'of Miss Lord. It was a benefit entertainment, hav ing for its object the improvement and maintenance of the Katherine Kennedy Home, a worthy charity in itself, a sufficient merit for the large patronage the performance received. In its nature the entertainment was a spectacular extra vagaBsa, superbly staged, savoring throughout of the metropolitan, and so charmingly pre sented as to elicit the applause of the audience from beginning to end. The play was divided into six scenes, as follows: First, "Love's A wakening ;" second, "Mount Olympus, the Abode of the Gods;" third, "Day and Night;" fourth, "TheVestalia;" fifth. "Hades," sixth, "Birth of Venus." All of the characters were repre sented in so perfect a manner that a discrimination is hardly appropriate. However, Miss Mary Black and Miss Bessie Gore, in 'the roles of Auro, Goddess of Dawn, and Flora, God dess of Flowers, respectively, deserve special mention. They were the em bodiment of grace and agility and danced most pleasingly, receiving long and continued applause from the audience. To night the entertainment will be repeated.- The ..performance begins promptly at 8 30, and the manage ment has announced that children under the age of twelve years will be admitted for half rate. A Negro Racket King Bell, colored, formerly Chief Schnibben's driver at Engine Company No. 1, had a warm ex perience yesterday morning in which a jealous negro woman, an ordinary table fork and sundry other things contrived to make life miserable for him for a time. Minnie Garfield, the jealous negro, by reason of Bell's attention to another woman, became infuriated yesterday morning went, to his room, snatched therefrom an eight dollar guitar and smashed it into kindling for revenge's sake. For this offence she was brought before Justice Fowler and allowed to give bond in the sum of $100 for her appearance for trial today. From Justice Fowler's court room she went back into an alley leading from Front between Dock and Orange streets and assaulted her paramour with a brick, ending up her racket by stabbing him in the hand with a table fork, which pierced his hand through and through. She was oa this record lolgid in jail by Constable Saeehan for trial on both charges trday. 'Bell sought treat ment for his wounds from a physi cian. Election of Officers.
