Mayor Waddell stated that at its annual meeting nearly a year ago the board appropriated $25,000 for street improvements, and yet the year was nearly - out and nothing had been done. Frequent complaint of the mat ter had been made to him. He said he felt that it was his duty to say that according to the city charter he (the mayor) is chairman of all the commit tees, but through courtesy he had ap pointed other chairmen and had not exercised his prerogative as chairman of any of the oommittees. He did not desire to criticise, but things, to his mind, were not going right As the executive of the city, he was re sponsible for the administration of the affairs of the city, and in the future he proposed to take a little firmer grip on affairs. He said he was not satisfied about this delay and while he did not nut the blame on any ont, he chafed under it. He remared that the board had decided to buy a rook crusher and had made provision for rock, and if something was not done towards the improvement of the streets, he did not propose to wait any longer he would buy the crusher and eet the rock himself and begin the1 work. He especially called atten tion to the fact that the board had made a large appropriation to improve "Princess street and it has not been touched. Mayor Waddell weat on to say that thejfquestion of sewerage was another important matter that this board was neglecting! The people want it, and a gentleman had made a proposition to him to furnish the money necessary for a system if the board could get up a plan and submit it Alderman Taylor to the Rescue. Alderman Tvlor said that in the absence of Alderman MacRae, chair' man of the streets and wharves com mittee, and as a member of the com mittee himself, he would say that the committee had done all that could be done. The committee had promptly made a contract "with the Castle fiaynes company for phosphate rock. but the State changed its system of leasing convicts and they could not be had to get out the rock. The commit tee, hoWever, had used every ton of rock ifcould get He also called at tentionto the difficulty of getting a crusher, as manufacturers have orders six months ahead. He did not think I one could be gotten immediately, as Srhs-kilew from expeiienoe in orderinsr wire and the iron tower for the fire bell, which had been ordered three weeks ago and not a word had been heard from them. Alderman Springer asked if it was proposed to improve Princess street with phosphate rock. He said that wa3 not the intention of this board when it decided on the improvement and neither the board nor the people would listen to anything like it either. Alderman Taylor replied that a petition was being circulated among the property owners along the street to ascertain if they would bear one third of the expense of paving the street. but that their decision in the matter had not been ascertained yet. Mayor Waddell stated that the peti tion was awaiting the sienature of Mrs. Currie, owner of the property on the southwest corner of Second and Princess streetr. He said it was pro posed to pave the street with vitrified brick or asphaltum, and he would say very plainly that if the improvement was not soon begun he would pur chase the material and have it done in some manner himself. He declared that he wanted something done. He gave notice to the board that it would be necessary for him to make himself chairman of each committee and after the next meeting he would be- chair man of all committees. A Sewerage System. As to sewerage. Alderman Worth stated that at the last meeting of the Board he had been appointed a com mittee of one to investigate and report back a plan for a sewerage system. He had a proposition from parties to furnish tlie necessary funds if the city would submit the plans. This, he said, he found it impossible to do now, as the plans and specifications prepared by Mr. Herring, the eminent sanitary engineer 01 iniladeipnia, could not be found. The plans had been found after a search, but they were useless without the specifications. He said he would be ready to submit a report at the regular meeting of the Board next Monday night. The matter then went over till then. a The Mayor presented a bill of $5 for Yopp & Helm for rent of a bicycle accompanied by a bill for $45 for the purchase of the same. He ex plained that a wheel had been rented for Policeman Guy to chase scorchers on Market street and that it had been decided that it would be better to buy the wheel outright than to pay rent for it On motion of Alderman Tay lor it was decided to pay the bill, less the rent, which he said was not fair for the city to pay if it bought the wheel. A communication was read from the Board of Audit and Finance inquiring about the action of the Board in ex empting the property of the Bruns wick Bridge and Ferry Company from taxation. N It was explained by Alderman Worth that only the capi tal stock of $10,001, whioh is invested in property already taxed, is exempted from taxation. On motion it was ordered that $1200 of the company's property which had not been listed for five years be listed for taxation. The Mad Dog Ordinance. Tne Mayor next took up the dog question and read a petition numer ously signed, urging the Board to make permanent the ordinance adopt ed November 25th, requiring all dogs for 30 days to be muzzled, closely con fined, or kept under control. He also read a counter petition, urging the Board not to re-enact the ordinance, whioh expired Christmas day, but sug gested that an ordinance be adopted increasing the tax on dogs as the best means of protecting the community from worthless curs. The Mayor in submitting the question to the con sideration of the Board stated that yes terday a dog bit a colored man in Front Street Market. By permission, Capt, A. L. De Rosset, who was bitten by a dog dur ing the recent mad dog scare, and who went to the Pasteur Institute in New York for treatment, addressed the Board in favor of making the ordi nance permanent. He opposed the views expressed in the counter peti tion. Alderman Springer moved to strike out the words "for thirty days" and make the ordinance permanent Alderman Taylor made remarks in favor of making the ordinance perma nent and Alderman Worth took the oDDOsite side. Alderman Springer's motion to make the ordinance permanent was then adopted by a vote of 7 to 2. Aldermen Worth and Parker were the only members who voted no. Upon suggestion of the Mayor, sheep were included in the ordinance for bidding cattle, goats, hogs, etc., from running at large. On motion, the matter of scavenger work was postponed till Monday night The question as to renting the Opera House for a term of two years was called up. Alderman Hanby, chair man of tne Public Buildings Commit tee, made the report for the committee. recommending that the c'ontract be awarded to Mr. S. A. Sohloss at his bid of $750. He explained that Mr, W. A. McGowan's bid of $555 "nel without renairs" was rejected. Mr. McGowan was present and ex nlained that his bid was misunderstood that he had informed the Mayor how his bid should have been con strued that the city would be paid $555 net and he would an r xr renairB. Alderman Tavlor took the ground that the bids were ambiguous, and moved that both be rejected and new bids be called for on a definite State ment of the conditions. After discus sion, the motion was rejected, and the report of the committee was adopted, on motion of Alderman Springer. The Board at 10.30 P. M. adjourned.. AT LUTHER MEMORIAL HALL. Brilliant Christmas Entertainment Last Night by Members of Sunday School of St. Paul's Lutheran Church. Last evening in Luther Memorial hall, corner Sixth and Princess streets, the members of the Sunday school of St Paul'sEvangelical Lutheran church gave their annual Christmas entertain ment which was thoroughly enjoyed by a very large audience.

The tree was handsomely deoorated, brilliantly ighted and the gifts were bountiful. The collection was takerrto aid in a fund for the purchase of a piano for the Sunday school. The members of the school inaugurated some time ago a systematic effort to raiaa $100 for this purpose before the new year. With the collection last night and other money already in sight the amount has probably been secured. Piano accompaniments to the musi cal selections were played by Miss Minnie Glameyer and Miss Gertrude Wessell. THE DOQ QUESTION. Counter Petition Urging the Board of Al dermen to Increase Tax 0a Canines. The Stab on Saturday stated that a petition was being circulated, re questing the Board of Aldermen to make permanent the temporary ordi nance adopted November th, in view of the so called mad-dog scare, requir ing dogs for thirty days to be closely confined on the premises of owners. A counter petition was gotten up, urging the Board of Aldermen to adopt a dog ordinance on the line sug gested by The Star that is, an ordi nance to increase the tax on dogs as the best means of regulating the dog question. The opinion expressed in these columns that the close confin- ment of dogs would aggravate their condition and tend to produce in them the symptoms of madness, was accepted by those who know anything about caring for dogs. The fact of the business is, many dogs in the city are in aterri ble condition from their confinement for the past thirty days. The counter petition has been ex tensively signed. It strongly presents the matter to the Board of Aldermen, and the higher tax idea is urged as the most practical way of protecting the community from prowling canines. EARLY MORNING MARRIAGE.

Price to enquire into the circumstances of the death of the negro Sam Campbell, whose peculiar case was referred to in yesterday's Star, met pursuant to adjournment at the office of Justice J. M. McGowan to hear farther testimony yesterday morning. Including the testimony of Campbell's mother, eleven witnesses in all have been examined, but the jury is yet unable to prepare a verdict for the want of further testimony, whi h will be heard at 9.30 o'clock this morning. Drs. Price and McMillan, assisted by Dra. E. J.Wood and G. Kir by Collier, concluded the autopsy yesterday morn ing and submitted the result of their investigation 1 1 the jury. The body was very much ea aciated and looked as if the negro was forty y . ars of age. when in reality he was only twenty- one. The left brain was slishtlv con gested and the right was badly so. An external congestion was found below the occiput. The lungs were also con- gestedf very dark, firmer than normal and exhibited signs of tuberculosis. Dave Green, colored, testified as to the striking of Campbell in Mr. Edgar Helm's bar-room in Paddy's Hollow on Thanksgiving night. Mr. Helms ordered him to leave the place and upon his refusal to do so struck him on the back of the head with a club. Deceased said the blow did not hurt him and repeated the assertion on the following morning at the fish market. On the night in question Campbell wa very drunk and Green put him on a car and sent him home. Jerry Crawford, a half brother of the negro, testified that Campbell on Saturday after Thanksgiving com: plained of having a chill and a severe headache. The other testimony bearing upon the circumstances of the blow was practically the same and of little in terest Dr. C. P. Bolles testified as to the negro's condition while in the City Hospital for treatment Dr. Mask, the colored physician, also testified as to having treated the case. The jury wiH convene for conclu sion of the investigation this morning at 9.30 o'clock. SAINT JOHN'S NIGHT. Joint Installation of Offcers by the Dif ferent Masonic Lodges In the City Last Evening.

Magnificent German. The annual Christmas german of L' Arioso German Club was danced last night in the beautiful ball room of the Masonic Temple. It was unques tionably the chief social event of the Christmas tide and was conducted in a beautiful manner. The Jloor was in good condition and the music furnished by Haywood's Capitol City Band, of Raleigh, was ex cellent. The ball room was handsome ly decorated with holly, long leaf pine, bamboo and bunting. There were two kinds of souvenirs one a beautiful purse made of seal skin, with fleur de lis thereon; an other, a beautiful sterling silver clasp used for a collarette or belt buckle. An elaborate supper was served at 12 o'clock. The german was led by Mr. H. H. Mcllhenny, who conducted the couples through the mazes of the dance in an artistic and graceful manner. About forty couples were in attend ance. Christmas Packages. Assistant Postmaster T. E. Wallace tells the Star that the postoffice force this year has been very successful in handling the large mails incident to the Christmas holidays. The number of packages, he said, was larger than ever before, and it is a compliment to the clerks and other attaches of the office that not , one of them was mis laid or carried over without delivery. A necktie and shirt probably, in tended as a Christmas gift to some friend, were left in the lobby of the office and may be had by the owner by applying at the window. Another yule tide giver mailed a package of socks, properly stamped but with no address. This package will also be re turned to the owner if his name can be ascertained. Christmas Tree. The Sunday School of Bladen Street M. E. Church had a Christmas tree in the church on Tuesday night and the house was packed with the little folks and their parents. The church was handsomely decorated with smi lax. The tree was a beautiful holly and it was lighted with wax tapers and loaded down with gifts. Each of the children received a present of real value, besides a. bag of oranges, nuts and candy. Mr. J. H. Hinton, appro priately costumed, played the role of Santa Claus. There was some splendid singing by the school, and talks by Mr. A. P. Merritt, the superintendent of the school, and the pastor, Rev, J. J. Porter. Junior Order U. A. M.
