Bone of Contention Members of Bosrd Think Tbey Have Beea Refected Upon Strong Statement From Col. Waddell. The question of municipal authority as between Mayor A. M. Waddell and the newly eleoted Board of Aldermen with regard to the appointment of standing committees afforded a lively special session of the city council last night at the City Hall. In fact, bar ring a few other incidents of the mu nicipal campaign, it was about the warmest number" witnessed in this bailiwick for some time. The court room where the meeting was held was well filled with people and inter est in the proceedings was at a high pitch. The matter of conflict between the Mayor and seven of the ten mem bers of the Board of Aldermen had been pretty generally discussed on the streets since the appointment of com mittees Monday night and had been referred to in some detail in the news papers. The crowd quite naturally manifested a keen interest in the pro oeedings. The meeting was called to order promptly at 8 o'clock by Mayor Wad dell, and all members of the Board, ex cept Alderman Mann, who is confined to his home by sickness, were in their respective chairs. Mayor Waddell stated that he had been served with the required written notice to call a special meeting of the council and that he had done so. The business of the meeting he understood to be in relation to the repeal of cer tain ordinances relating to appoint ment of standing committees. He stated to the Board further that ac cording to the recess taken Monday night until the following Monday night, it was understood that the Board was in continuous session and he saw no reason for this calling of a special session, but he had complied with the request of the aldermen and the meeting was at their disposal. Sensation number 1 came in the off ring by Alderman Hamas of the following ordinance, carrying with it a resolution for adoption : The Board of Aldermen of the City of Wilmington Do Enact: Sec 1. That all ordinances hereto fore passed, if any there be, giving the Mavor the rieht and power to appoint committees for the purpose of carrying on and conducting the business affairs of the City of Wilmington be andthe same are hereby repealed. Bxo- 2. That all appointments . ot committees heretofore made by tne Mavor or Board of Aldermen be and the same are hereby vacated, set aside and declared null and void. Sic. 3. That this ordinance shall be in force from and after the passage of the same. Passed this the third day of April, A. D. 1901. Mayor Waddell asked if here was an ordinance conferring this authority upon the Mayor, other than an un written law covering a long line of precedents. He then called (attention to acts of the Legislature in the past and two in particular, which are still in effect, the one granting the corpo rate powers of the city to the Mayor alone and another to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen jointly. The mat ter of the appointment of committees, Mayor Waddell stated, was only one ot detail, ior wnicn no speemo act, of course, provided. The ordinance introduced by Alder man Harriss, he said, speaks for itself and deprives the Mayor of the power to appoint any committees, n ine Board desired to undo a work which had already been done, it was for the members to say. Alderman Harriss said that he thought the matter of appointment should be left writh the Mayor and Board concurrently, but not with the Mayor alone. Alderman Johnson raised the point of order that under adjournment last time there could be no special meet wg. nitv Attomev Bellamy, who was appealed to by Alderman VonGlahn, stated that it was simply a question of parliamentary usage and he could see no reason, as the call stated why the A-rtra session was desired, why the meeting was not legally constituted. Alderman West moved to proceed with the business. The Mayor then decided that Alder man Johnson's point was well taken. Alderman Harriss appealed from the decision by the Mayor and made a motion to reject the point. The Mayor asked the clerk to call the roll and seven votes were recorded against sustaining and two, Messrs. Bailey and Johnson, for sustaining. Alderman Johnson, in discussing the ordinance, said it was uncalled for and he wished to be recorded air, of ft Annointment by the pmiwi n w-.x Mayor was sustained by many prece dents for many years. l$o objection was made to the appointment by the Mayor when the committees were announced and the Board should go slow in taking this power away from CoL Waddell, who was the choice of the city for Mayor, and he should not k. A.AmilM). He closed with the ehawe that seven of the ten alder men had held private caucuses and had not invited their remaining three Democratic colleagues to be present. A slate had been made and they had noyoice in the making of it. Alderman Maunder asked Alderman Johnson if he was .not present when tk. ..loxtinni were made in caucus. n wmiied that he was. but that there had been other caucuses. WJLIjMINGTON, N. X THURSDAY. APRIL 4, 1901. Alderman Harriss in reply to Alderman Johnson .stated that he conceded the Mayor had been elected by the people and so had the Board of Aldermen with certain prerogatives which the members proposed to exer cise. They should have concurrent power with the Mayor. The question on Alderman Harriss' motion to adopt the ordinance was then called and a roll call by the clerk demonstrated that all were in favor of its adoption excent Messrs. Bailay and Johnson. Mayor Waddell then stated that he wished to make a statement. He then read as follows: To the Board of Aldermen: When the whole peonle of this citv elected me as their Mayor they did it with a full knowledge of the fact that it has been the unbroken custom ever since the organization of the city for the Mayor to appoint the commit tees of the Board of Aldermen, and to ecome mmseii the chairman of all or ich of the committees as he mioht select, and they- expected me to exer cise that privilege. d or tne first time in our history Vou have undertaken to deny to the Mayor that right,' and you have done this not oy asticipatiuer his action, but onlv after he has appointed the committees, and for the sole reason that some of you did not get certain chairmanships that , are supposed to carry patronage. Two of you, Mr. VonGlahn and Mr. Harriss, came to my house after the meeting Monday nieht. and nracticallv demanded the chairmanships respect ively of the Fire and Police Commit tees, and intimated" very plainly that unless I so changed the committees this Board would set aside my appoint ments and take the matter in their own hands. I told them that I had. after lone and careful consideration, arranged the committees with the best judgment possessed, as to the capscuv and fit ness of the various aldermen, and that each of them (Messrs. VonGlahn and Jtlarriss) was on the committee of which he now wished to be chairman. They said they (and I believe they said A. A I VTfc x V a majority or tne xxutraj regarded my appointment of myself as chairman of important committees as a reflection on the Board, to which they were not will ing to submit that 1 had not pursued that course with the last Board and had thus insinuated the inferiority of the present Board. My reply was that there were satis factory reasons for my action towards the last Board, but that even with them I discovered that I had made a mistake, and did not intend to repeat it. Tney still insisted on being chairmen, witbl the announcement that if they were not, the Board would appoint the com mittees. Under such a threat I per emptorily refused, and still perempto rily refuse, to change the committees. So that the issue the plain issue. without the possibility of mi-take is: Will the Board sustain the Mayor in the exercise of a Mght never before dis puted, or will ltVAisorganize the city government and introduce discord sim ply to gratify the peculiar ambition of wo f r three of its members to be chair men of certain committees ? Your action in settine aside the ar rangemeot of committees made by the Mayor and tnus putting him out or touch wiih the Board is not only un precedected, revolutionary and based upon no consideration oi the public nterest, but is based solely and ex clusively upon the pitiful and un manly whine of disappointed aspir ants for chairmanships. You are wel come to present that spectacle to the public to whom you are responsible, and with the result I am not at all concerned. Notwithstanding the evident and notorious antagonism to the sup posed wishes of the Mayor manifest ed by a majority of the Board from the beginning, I have hoped and desired to have and to preserve harmony in the administration. That hope seems vain, and I abandon it. All responsi bility except such as strictly and tech nically attaches to the chief executive officer is henceforth upon you. I shall as such chief executive, leave no doubt about my authority. I have nothing to do with making laws or ordinances for the Mty you have nothing to do with the execution of them. Higher authority than yours declares me to be "the chief executive officer to whom all others shall be subordinate." I in tend to be what the law says I am, and you may take notice thereof and govern yourselvea accordingly. When Col. Waddell had concluded the reading of the above statement there was much applause by the large number oUiis friends present in the court room: Alderman Harriss said that he would reply to the statement later, also in writing, He then moved the adoption of the ordinance, which was passed by the stme vote as above, Aldermen Bailey and Johnson alone voting nay : The Board of Aldermen of the City of Wilmington do enact: Sec. 1. That all the standing com mittees and all other committees neces sary for the better government of the City oWilmington shall be appointed by the Board of Aldermen of said city. Sec. 2. That the standing commit tees shall consist or the folio wine: Committees on Lights, Finance, Fire Department. Maraet, Ordinances, Polioa Public Buildings, Sanitary Af fairs, Jsewerage, Streets and Wharves, Water Works. Sec. 3. That each of said standing committees shall consist of not less than three members of the Board of Aldermen, and the members thereof shall be elected by the Board, and said members of said committees shall elect one from their number as its chair man. Sec. 4. All laws or ordinances in conflict herewith or repugnant hereto are nereoy repealed. Passed this third day of April, 1901. Alderman Harritc then moved for adjournment which motion was unai- mously adopted. Real Estate Auction Sale, Mr. A. H. Morriss, auctioneer for Jno. J.

Two New Players Have Been Signed and Are the Best in the Profession. Something of the Roles for the Coming Season. Seven members, all told, of Wil mington's base ball team in the new eague have reported for duty and have begun practice for the opening- games this month. Those that came in last night were Warren, of Washington, D. O, who will "plant his spikes" this season on third bag; Davie Crockett, otherwise' known as "Scissors,'" who came from Roanoke and will make things lively on second, and Ed. McGinnis, who has already been dubbed the "Frank Merriweather of the Virginia North Carolina League," and who will be found in center field. Those in the city yesterday after noon were eiveu some good exercise at Hilton by Manager Peschau at 4 o'clock and this will be kept up until the season opens, each morning and evening. The Star learns .that Cranston, of Washington, a strong catcher of the Georgetown University team, has been secured for a similar position on Wilmington's team and will be here as early as possible. Another new unform on the team will likely be that of "Kid" Clayton at short stop. He comes from Williams- port, Pa., upon the recommendation of Tacks" Allen, and mnst, therefore, be all right. He is a man of league reputation and was wanted badly this season by Toronto, Canada. Stafford did not come last evening as expected. He will likly land with Thackera to-day. An exchange gives changes in the baseball rules as shown by Reach's Guide as follows:. First To keep the catcher continu- uously under the bat he must always play within ten feet of the batsman. Second The pitcher is prohibited from throwing the balteo anybody but the batsman when the oases are empty; also from holding the ball more than 20 seconds at any time with the bats man in position; penalty a called ball in each case. Third All fouls to be strikes until wo strikes are called, after which the batsman can foul at his own further risk. Fourth The penalty for a pitcher hitting a batsman to be a called ball instead of a base as heretofore. Tne American Leaeue has decided not to adopt any of these rules and will play under the rules exactly as they were lsst sear. PLANINQ MILL WAS ABLAZE. Damage About $2,500 at Fore & Poster Company's Plant Yesterday. s Fire which broke out at 11:80 yesterday morning at the planing mill of the Fore & Foster Company, Sixth and Campbell streets, practically de stroyed two dry kilns and six or eight trucks of lumber and gave the firemen altogether one of the most stubborn fights tbey have had in many a day. It was 2 o'clock wheu the department left the scene after a work which is al together creditable when the violence of the wind at the time and character of the material is considered. The fire is supposed to have caught from sparks from the furnace, and Col. F. W. Foster, president of the company, estimates the loss at $2,500, against which there was no insurance. Chief Schnibben and members of the department desire to express un bounded thanks to Col. Foster for re freshments served during and after the fire. In Justice Fowler's Court. Isaac, Josh and William Simon, the three 8yrians arrested Tuesday for an affray, were given a hearing before Justice Fowler yesterday afternoon, and Josh waa found not guilty and judgment was suspended against the others.

Everett, col ored, was tried for a murderous assault upon Matthew Robinson, an old negro, who was found unconscious on the turnpike, and he was sent to jail to make his appearance at the Criminal Court. Paul Jones, the other negro arrested on the same charge, was ac quitted Assistant Engineer Wood. Assistant Engineer Horatio N. Wood of the Algonquin, has received orders to report at once to the Depart ment at Washington, presumably for special duty. Lieut. . Wood is a graduate of Cornell University and has seen service in the revenue cutter service In Alaska and Northwest Canada. He has a splendid educa tion and great ability and Is especially nullified for scientific work, which probably will be . assigned to him. Lieut Wood is popular with all who know him and during- his short stay in Wilmington has made many friends. Funeral ef Mrs. Norgard. The funeral services over the re mains of the late Mrs. Edward Nor gard were held from St . Thomas' Catholic Church yesterday moroingat 10.80 o'clock.

Parties who arrived in the city from Burgawyesterday, told of an supposed unsuccessful attempt at suicide there night before last by Dr. W. W.

Dr. Gaither came to Wilmington from LUesville, Anson county, about two years ago and was engaged here for some time as agent for a bath cab inet During the last few months he has been residing at Burlaw and had built up a fairly good practice' there.

About 11 o'clock Tuesday cieht parties at the Burgaw hotel, where he is boarding, are reported to have found that after retiring, Dr. Gaither had attempted suicide with chloro form, several linens well saturated with the deadly , fluid having been found in- his room.
