der, who took occasion to say that
Mr. Williams was from his ward and
a good man. This was. the only
nominating or seconding speech by
any member of the Board and the
whole proceedure did not consume
more than fifteen minutes time.
The court room was crowded when
Mayor Waddell called the meeting to
order and as each election was made
there was vociferous applause by
friends of the several candidates.
Aldermen present were Messrs.
Spencer and Maunder, first ward;
West and VonGlahn, second
ward;
ward;
ward;
Harriss and Johnson, third
Bailey and Skinner, fourth
Mann and Parker, fifth ward.
It will be seen that few departures

ficials as they at present stand. Messrs.

the Fire Department, are re elected ;

night sergeant of police, becomes cap

After the election of the officers last
night, the Board adjourned subject to
call of the Mayor and retired for an
other caucus.
It is understood that the other minor
municipal offices will be filled at a
meeting either to-night or Monday
night. There are a very large number
of these and numerous applications.
The matter of the appointment of
standing committees, Mayor Waddell
said he would defer to a subsequent
meeting. However, as there was a
matter relating to the sewerage before
the board for immediate action, he an
nounceda committee on sewerage as
follows: Messrs. Bailey, (chairman)
Mann and VonGlahn. The sewerage
committee he said would take the
nlfliw of a hosnital committee for
which there is no further need since
the organization of the Board of Man
agers of the James Walker Memorial
Hospital.
The sewerage matter is in connec
tion with the Sanitary Sewerage Com
pany, of Philadelphia, reference to
the plans of which has already been
made in these columns. Mr. Lewis,
a prominent official of the company,
has been here for the past few days
and has engaged Messrs. Bellamy and
Peschau as his attorneys.
The company asks the aldermen to
Brant certain franchises to it, wmcb are
mWled in an ordinance submitted
for adoption and which Mayor Wad
WILMINGTON, N. C, SATURDAY, MARCH 30,
dell said appeared to him a very fair
proposition, but one which he would
submit to the committee for more
thorough investigation.
Provisions of Sewertge Ordinance.
The ordinance sets forth the great
advantages of a complete sewerage
system, and of the securing of same
without an outlay of money on the
part of the city. The first section con
fers upon the Wilmington Seweraee
Company, its successors and assigns,
permission to lay sewer pipes and con
duits in the city upon the condition as
set forth in Section 2, that so long as
the system is constructed and main
tained pursuant to the ordinance the
city will not construct or maintain a
separate system on its own account
or enter into any contract for the
purpose of securing the construction
or 'maintenance of a system by any
other persons or cornorations. nrn
vided. however, that nothing in the
ordinance shall in anv wav aF aoi tha
right of the City of Wilmington to
acquire the system of sewerage there
in provided for in accordance with
terms laid down in Section 4, which
stipulates that after five years from
date of completion of the system the
city shall have the right to purchase
the same, after three months notice
prior to the expiration of that time
and that the price to be paid shall be
determined by a board of appraisers
two of whom shall be appointed by
the city authorities, two by the Sewer
age Company and a fifth by the four
members thus appointed, one of which
appointees each by the city and com
pany shall be an expert civil engineer
and none of them residents of the
City of Wilmington, stockholders or
bondholders in the corporation or in
anyway interested therein. The award
made by the appraisers shall include,
as a part of the valuation of the prop
erty, the net earning capacity of the
system, and the city shall within three
months after the award, pay the
amount of same in cash or, at the ou
tion of the city, in bonds of the city
bearing the then legal rate of interest,
at their market value. Upon the fail
ure of the city to exercise the right of
purchase as above set forth at the ex
piration of five years, then the same
right shall revert to the city at the ex
piration of each succeeding five
years upon the same terms and
condition. Section 5 makes it incum
bent upon the city to pass such ordi
nance as will protect the sewers and
their necessary cannections upon the.
streets. Section 7 makes it compulsory
on the part of the -.com pany to file
within thirty days Vnter adoption of
the ordinance, its acceptance of the
contractmbraced in the instrument.
In a previous section the company
agrees to throw all reasonable safe
guards against danger to persons from
excavations made and to indemnify
the city against losses in that particu
lar. It also agrees to place all streets
in as nearly the same condition a9 pos
sible as before the excavations.
The ordinance will likely be re
ported by the committee for adoption
by the Board at its meeting Monday
night
Board's Noon Session.
The Board first met yesterday at
noon in the city court room, but before
the transaction of any business repaired
to the Mayor's office. Mayor Wad
dell and all the newly elected Alder
men were present and the last named
were sworn in by City Clerk and
Treasurer B. F. King, as a justice of the
peace.
When all had taken and signed the
oath of office Mayor Waddell stated
that the election of a Mayor for the
succeeding two years was in order.
Alderman E. P. Bailey nominated
Mayor A. M. Waddell, nominee of the
primaries on Thursday of last week.
The motion met prompt seconds and
Col. Waddell was unanimously elected
by a rising vote. Col. Waddell then
addressed the Board, pledging his ef
forts to the best interests of the city
and expressing the hope that there
would be nothing but harmony in the
Board, The oath of office was then
administered to the Mayor and an ad
journment until 8 o'clock P. M. waa
taken upon motion of Alderman Har
riss. A caucus was then entered into,
which lasted from 12:30 to 3 o'clock
in the afternoon.
Ice Goes Up.
A number of the smaller consumers
of ice, including saloon and soda
fountain men, who have no contracts
for future delivery, are complaining
in view of the advent of the Spring
and Summer season of an ' increase
in the price of ice. While the
amount is small, perhaps not over
15 cents per hundred on retail orders,
and the extra expense is hardly notice
able, the consumers are beginning to
complain and say they see no war
rant on the part of the factories for
any increase whatever. The new
schedule as a whole may be prefer
able when it comes to the trade at
large, but the small consumers cannot
resist the temptation to register a
'kick." '
Peters Comedy Company.
Another big audience was at the
Opera House last night and showed
its hearty approval of this really ex
cellent company. The play presented
waa "A Dashincr Widow." A matinee
will be given at 3 o'clock P. M. to day,
when "Muee's Landing" will be given.
The prices will be 10 and 20 cents, and
the company should be greeted by a
packed house. This jolly company
will close its engagement in this city
to-night, presenting the three acfarce
"Mistakes," which is fun from start to
finish.'

before Judge Starbuck in Wake Su

was agreed upon for the trial. Martin

G. Ryan. Esq., as counsel. Notwith
standing the fact that Major Martin
confessed his guilt to the extent of
misappropriating $3,800 at the time
the shortage was discovered, there
seems to be some question as to whether
he will plead guilty or not when the
trial comes up. At last his coun
sel has intimated that such a
course would not be pursued. It has
been expected that he would throw
himself upon the mercy of the court.

Special Star Telegram.
Manager Poe, of the Southern Ex
press, tnis city, went with a hotel
waiter to Wadesboro fo night to
identify two men in jail there charged
with cracking thesa'e at Morven Wed
nesday night, and in the Express
office here Monday night. They were
arrested last night at Marsh ville. In
their possession was found a bottle of
nitro-glycerina with a peculiar funnel
to facilitate its use in safecracking,
together with a bundle of drills, bits,
chisels, etc Also, a peculiar instru
ment shaped like a horseshoe, with
which, by the use of powerful screws,
combination knobs are forced off
safes. There was a third suspect, who
evaded arrest. Description of the men
is identically that of three who were
around Raleigh several days before
the Express office safe was cracked.
The evidence against them as to the
Morven safe-cracking is very strong.

TAYLOR'S BAZAAR OPENING.
Many New and Pretty Designs in Spring
and Summer Millinery Are Now
Being Shown There.
The annual opening of Spring and
Summer millinery at Taylor's Bazaar,
No. 118 Market street, took place yes
terday and on the day before and a
splendid success was scored. The
store, handsomely decorated for the
event and resplendent with many
things new and bright in the millinery
art, was thronged during tbe days
with hundreds of ladies, who have re
garded for years Vie opening at this
popular establishment, an event of
much importance and one that they
could not afford to miss.
The opening, though the last of a
number that have b-sen given in the
city this Spring, was by uo means
eclipsed by its predecessors and many
ladies, ate view of mil the fashloa
able and pretty styles in the art were
constrained to exclaim "that it was
prettiest of them all."
Mrs. Taylor and Miss Hattie Taylor
recently spent some time in the lead -
ing market at the North buying the
atest and most fastidious of all of
fashion's fancies and they have suc
ceeded well, if one may judge from
the wealth of pretty things now being
shown at the store.

is the chief milliner, and was the re
cipient yesterday of many handsome
compliments upon her taste and abil
ity.
ALLEGED SAFE CRACKSMEN.
Arrest of Men at Marshville Verifies In
spector Connolly's Theory. .
The absolute correctness of the
theory of Postoffice Inspector. Jere
Connolly in regard to the numb r of
safe robberies that have been gf iog on
in the State for the past several eks,
appears to have been well vindicatd
in the arrest at Marshville, Union
county, N. C, on t ight before last of
two men, who robbed a safe in the
store of M. H. Li wry & Co , at Mor
ven, Anson county, on the night
previous to the capture.
Subsequently they had cracked a
safe at Clio, 8. C , and at Morven, they
first broke into a blacksmith shop and
procured the necessary tools with
which to place the dynamite, just as
Inspector Connolly anticipated. They
secured about $900 and went across
country to Liles ville awi boarded the
Carolina Central trainvgoing in the
directionof Charlotte. "They were
taken off the train at Marshville upon
telegraphic advices from Sheriff
Gaddy, of Wadesboro. and it is believed
that on their persons were found
enough to convict them. A third man
of the party who boarded 'the train at
Lilesvilie succeeded in making his
escape.
HAS SIGNED R.
STAFFORD.
Well Known National League Man for
Wilmington's Team Other Notes.
Wilmington's base ball team in the
new league continues to go "onward
and apward." Yesterday Manager
Peschau signed R. M. Stafford, an ex
ceedingly clever man with the stick,
who holds the world's record for home
runs. He is a native North Caroli
nian, who has in late years achieved
abundant success in the big leagues
and was last year with Syracuse and
for four years previous with St Louis.
He will hold first bag for Wilmington,
and is undoubtedly a strong man. He
is now at Oak Ridge, his old home,
and will be along with the team about
the middle of next week.
"Skeeter" Dent, of Baltimore, has
already been introduced to the Wil
mington base ball public since the
line-up was announced in Sunday's
paper and with another extra catcher
and extra pitcher, Manager Peschau
will have his forces complete. These
are in sight and will be along later.
NEW STEAMSHIP LINE.
Co-operative Movement on the . Part of
Wilflggton Merchants for Cheaper
New York Transportation.
The new steamship line from Wil
mington to New York in contempla
tion by a number of Wilmington's
business men is still being actively
promoted and is expected to assume
tangible shape very soon. The pro
posed incorporators are Messrs. S. P.
McNair, Sam'l Bear, Sr., and others,
and it is learned semi-authoritatively
that the plan is to have a mutual
operation of the line for the benefit of
Wilmington merchants generally.
An instrument setting forth the
plana of the new company and asking
for the co-operation of the shippers of
of this port was circulated and liber
ally signed yesterday.
Merchants composing the Wilming
ton Tariff Association appear to be the
most active promoters of the scheme.
which has abundant prospect of sue
cess.
