T NING WIUVUNQTON OAS AND ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY. Plans for Reorganization of Wilmington Gas Light Company Reach a Snc cessfnl Stage. The Star is informed Jthat the plans for the reorganization of the Wilming ton Gaslight and Electric Company have .been progressing satisfactorily, and have reached a point where suc cess in carrying them into effect is assured. Parties in New York and Wilming ton are interested in the deal, and, as first mentioned exclusively in the Star, the general plan they proposed to the stockholders of the Wilmington Gaslight Company was to take up the stock and issue bonds in lieu thereof to the stockholders. Nearly all the stockholders have accepted the propo sition to exchange stock for bonds, there being only, a few who have not yet been heard from. The details for the capitalization of the concern will be arranged shortly. The entire plant of the company is to be rehabilitated and the most mod ern methods put into execution.. It is learned that besides the "lighting branch of the business, the new com pany is to introduce gas ' for heating and cooking purposes. Early in January it is the purpose of the new owners of the company to in augurate in Wilmington the use of gas stoves and ranges which have proven so popular in other cities. The introduction of the new stoves will be under the supervision of an expert who will be here in a few days for the purpose. The Wilmington Gaslight Company was organized in 1851, with a capital stock of $60,000. The incorporators wereiP. K, Dickinson. John A. Tay ior, A. J. DeRosset, Jr., N. N. Nixon, Thomas H. Wright, Miles Costin, Ed ward Kidder and Peter M. Walker, all of whom are dead. Mr. R. J. Jones, who has for thirty one years been secretary and treasurer of the company, is one of the few living stockholders of the company at te time he became connected with it. In fact only three of the stockholders of that period are living. The presi dent and all the directors, and every man in the employ of the company when he was first elected to his office have passed away. The last of the old employes was Mr. J. H. Turner, fireman and engineer, who died in this city on Thursday last. TO KEEP ORDER CHRISTMAS. V Twenty Special Policemen Sworn ia at the City Hall Yesterday Morning. In addition to the regular police force of men, the following special police men were sworn in at the City Hall yesterday morning: A. J. Mott, Isaac James, Charles Morton, Dave tiver, Lewis Gordon, John Piver, Joe Bryan, S. J. Bryan, I. T. James, J. B. Harrell, J. H. Ruark, W. B. Bowden, J. Q. Herring, W. W. Young, T. G. Evans, John Hines, Ed George, W. T. Wil liams, Frank Chadwick, G. E. Haw kins. A Reformatory Needed. In the absence of Mayor A. M. Waddell, who went on a hunting ex pedition yesterday, Alderman W. E. Springer, Mayor pro tem, presided at the city court yesterday afternoon. He gave a hearing to Arthur Taylor, Richard Herring, Johnson Mills and Charles Hawkins, negro. boys, whose ages are from 8 to 12 years, charged with stealing brasses from the At lantic Coast Line shops. He held their case open till Tuesday to con sider what punishment could be meted out to them. The evidence showed that they were caught in the act, but they are too young to be bound over to the Criminal Court This is still further evidence that a reformatory is needed for young crim inals in North Carolina. Mayor Wad dell stated a few days ago that this is the only State that has not such an institution. How long will it be till North Carolina establishes this needed reform? The Football Game. The Fayetteville Observer of, yes terday, writing about the great foot ball game to take place here to-mor row afternoon at the Hilton Park grounds, between Fayetteville . and Wilmington teams, says: The sterner Hurt will leave here at in nVlrvb- tA-mnrmw fSundav) nierht. instead of 12, as originally planned.

The bad weather prevented the shag-. gy haired youths from. practising last night but anyhow the boys are all in fine physical condition for to-morrow's game with the Fayettevillians. It will be the best game of foot ball ever played in Eastern Carolina. The brawn and brain of the foot ball frater nity of North, Carolina will be pitted against each other for the mastery. Manager Scotchie Sinclair of the Wilmington team, last night received a letter from Fayetteville's manager, telling him he was yet unable to give the exact line up of his team, but that our. boys must be careful or another scalp would be found dangling from Fayetteville's belt. Among Fayette ville's line up will be found some of the stars of North Carolina, and this fact has been realized by our boys, so they have arranged to put forth their strongest team. Red and Blue are the colors of the Wilmington team, and Red that of Fayetteville. The game will be called promptly to-morrow at 3.30 P. M.

Bolduc, of North Adams, Mass., who is known as the "steeple climber" and who is here repairing the steeples of various churches, met with a serious mishap while ascend ing the steeple of the First Presby terian Church yesterday morning. While seated in his "sling," thirty five feet above the earth, some of the tackle loosened a brick twenty feet above him and it fell with terrific force on his head. He was badly stunned, but he retained enough pres ence of mind to have himself lowered to the ground. . Mr. C. C. Chadbourn, who was on the piazza of his father's residence, next to the church, hurried to Mr. Bolduc's assistance and took him into the house, where he was attended till Dr. T. S. Burbank called and dressed the wound. A gash an inch and a quarter long and nearly through the scalp, bled profusely. The steeple climber soon returned to work, how ever. Deep Hole ia the Ground.
