CITY AFFAIRS.
Special Meeting ef Board of Aldersaea
Hitch la Princess Street LnBreire-
. meBt7-To Pay City Ughtlsg.
In pursuance of the call of Mayor
Waddell, the Board of Aldermen held
a special meeting' last night There
were in attendance Mayor Waddell
and Aldermen Springer,. Woolard,
Worth, Montgomery, : West, Hanby
and Spencer. - f! ..''..
Mayor Waddell stated that the meet
ing had been called to decide whether
to pay the bill of the Wilmington
Street Railway Company for lighting
the city for the months of October,
November and December. It will be
remembered that the. Board held up
the pay for the city lighting on com
plaint that the Street Railway Com
pany was not fulfilling its contract as
to the quality and candle power of the
arc lights. Mayor Waddell reminded
the Board that at its last meeting Al
derman Springer, of the lights com
mittee, made report without recom
mendation, and that no action was
taken on the matter at that meeting.
He said it was for this Board to say
whether the lights should be paid for
or shut off. J
Upon request of the Mayor, Alder
man Springer repeated his report,
which was to the effect that the lights
have been improved, the service is
better, and that the Wilmington
Street Railway Company shows every
disposition to still improve the service.
He said he was ready, to rote for a
motion to rescind the former resolu
tion holding up the pay for the lights.
On motion.of Alderman West, sec
onded by Alderman Worth, the former
resolution was rescinded and the bill
of the Street Railway Co. was ordered
to be paid. The bill amounts to $385
for the three months, the contract
being for $295 per month. j
Upon request of the Mayor an ordi
nance was adopted, to the effect that
hereafter the Board of Aldermen only
shall grant license to sell rice beer,
and that applications for license must
be sent in the handwriting of the ap
plicants. '
Mayor Waddell stated that hereto
fore the applications for license were
made to the clerk who made them out
upon payment of the license fee. This
method, he explained, was unsatisfac
tory, and objectionable parties could
take out license. He said he was
satisfied some of those who are
licensed to sell rice beer sell liquor
also. He stated that he had such a
case before him in the'eity court yes
terday. Upon the suggestion of Alderman'
Hanbv. the Chief ' of Police was in
structed, to use all possible diligence in
arresting and bringing to punishment
parties who injure personal property
in the suburbs by breaking out win
dow lights, damaging and destroying
fences, etc. j
4ayor Waddell stated that he learn
ed that three owners of property on
Princess street between Front and
Second streets, refused to sign the
agreement to pay their proportion of
the expense of paving the! block
ith vitrified brick. He said this
disposed of the paving of Princess
street with vitrified brick He said so
far as he was concerned he did not in
tend to delay the matter any longer
and suggested that the city harden the
road way on Princess street between
Front and Second streets in the best
manner its means will allow. The
season is now getting so far advanced
thatmuch further delay will make it im
possible for theimproments to be made
this season. j
After discussing other matters the
Board sjdourned. , .

The first of the season of what is
known in wharf parlance as a. "fruit
vessel" arrived yesterday. She is the
British schooner Julia Elizabeth, 130
tons, Capt. A, Sweeting, and she
comes from Dunmoretowa, Bahamas,
with a careo of 150.000 oranges, fifty
orates of tomatoes, 1,000 sappadilloes
and a number ox cocoanuu, consign ea
to Messrs. George Harriss, Son & Co.
She will begin discharging to day at
foot of Dock street Every year Wil
mington is visited by half a dozen or
more of this class of vessels with car
goes of fruits from the Bahamas and
West Indies, but this year they have
been conspicuous for their absence at
the wharves. The reason is that the
West India hurricane in the early
part of the Fall almost completely de
stroyed the crop in the islands, and
this branch of shipping ia thereby the
sufferer. Messrs. Harriss & Co. this
moraine advertise the sale of the
cargo of oranges in quantities to suit
purchasers.
Families Movlai la. j
SuDerintendent Jno. J. Blair, of the
Wilsaine-ton public schools, says that
he is now very much encouraged with
the attendance at the various Institu
tions. Yesterday there were enrolled
coodlv number, of new students
from families recently move4 to the
city and the attendance upon the
whole is now very much better than
at any time in recent year. This
should be very gratifying . to Wil-
mingtonians "who are anxious about
the educational welfare of the city
and it is certainly indicative of a for
ward move of .the city fa many other
respects. ! :'"-:'

TBE BRIGHTEST AND PRETTIEST.
So Ssys the New; York Htrald of the
The brilliant London and New York
musical success of last season, as ren
dered by Augustin Daly's Musical
Company, entitled "A Runaway
Girl," gives "full measure and meas
ure filled, with hilarity." Thus said
the New York Herald on the - occasion
of this opera's initial performance in
New York, and in one sentence this
not only hits off the truth of the mat
ter, but does so in a more conclusive
way than could possibly be furnished
otherwise, as the New York Herald
does not say such things unless they
are so. The very flattering critique of
thia paper headed their criticism of
the new opera with the one convinc
ing line, "The Brightiest and Prettiest
of Them All."
The scenes are laid in Corsica and
Venice - and every opportunity for
scenic effect and color scheme in cos
taming is seized and made use of. : In
the company are James T. Powers,
well known and popular in our city,
Mane Celeste, Van Rennsalaer Wheel

others equally popular and well known
as talented and forceful entertainers

, Have been the best investment I
have made in bns neas. 6e ling nothing but
well mad 4 goods from the best factories, 1 have
had to sell close to meet the prices or shoddy
stall, and sometimes have lost a sale; bnt I am
now reaping my ewartx, and can justly claim,
''once a customer always a customer." '
Values are up, but on many lines I antici
pated the advance by buying largely. That
my customers get the benefit of my foresight
you can ascertain by compiling prices .
