Differences Between Aldermen and Mayor Amicably Ad justed Last Night . A CLOSED CONFERENCE. Board Repealed Ordinances Passed Wed nesday Nlfht Regarding Appointment of Committees la Short Open Session General Opinion. A reconciliation of the differences between the Mayor and Board of Aldermen has at last been effected. This was the announcement by both sides to the controversy after a con ference of the two factions for a little more than an hour in the Mayor's office at the City Hall last nighOand the juews, it is safe to say, is welcome after the strife and bickering between sympathizers of both factions on the streets for the past two days. The meeting,, or conference as it was called, was strictly private and none other than the Mayor and members of of the Board of Aldermen were ad mitted. An eager gathering of citi zens crowded the hallway and city court room expecting an "open meet ing," but in this they were disap pointed, as it was announced at the outset that there would be no public session; in fact that none had been called. Even after this news had per- colated through the crowd there were many who lingered for news from the conference, which cam at about 9:30 o'clock, when City Clerk and Treasurer B. F. King was called into the room. All the members of the Board were present, and Mayor Waddell called the meeting to order. He stated that the Board was then in session by unanimous consent and asked the pleasure of the members assembled. Alderman Skinner moved to rescind the two ordinances adopted Wednes day night, the one abolishing the com mittees appointed by Mayor Waddell at the first regular session, and the other vesting the Board of Aldermen with power to appoint these commit tees. The motion met a prompt second, and the ordinances in question were unanimously declared null and void. The Board then, by unanimous con sent, adjourned, and members of the same quickly left the Hall. A Stab representative asked a prom inent member of the Board, regarded as a leader of the fight on the part of the Aldermen, if the action was not a complete surrender of his forces. He replied that he could say nothing; the matter had been amicably adjusted so far as -all parties were concerned. It would all be clear when the special meeting of the Aldermen is held Mon day night. In response to a question as to whether there were not concessions by both sides in the matter of committees, he still remained un satisfactorily mum for the reporter and nothing was learned. It will be guessing match with the average citizen until the period during which members of the conference are pledged to secrecy shall have been ended. In the meantime the Aldermen say they are perfectly satisfied and the Mayor is quoted in the same language. By the official record the power of appointment of committees is still vested in the Mayor, if it was so vested before the adoption by the Aldermen of the ordinance Wednesday night and the ordinance giving this power to the Aldermen is repealed. Hibernian Benevolent Society. The annual installation of officers of the Hibernian Benevolent Society took place Thursday evening and was a most enjoyable event for the large number of members present. Mr. Martin O'Brien, the retiring presi dent, extended his greetings in a hap py speech and was responded to by Mr. Timothy Donlan, who spoke of Mr. O'Brien's faithful work in behalf of the society. The committee on the grand Easter ball, which will be given Monday night, is composed of Messrs. Thomas Qumlivan, William Sheehan, Sr., M. O'Brien, T. Donlan, W. H. Coleman, James Allen and F. P. Donlan. Arrested for Fighting. Verne Pearsall, Isam Mack and Jackson Brown, all colored, were the principals in a very lively scrap which oceured at a quiet hour Thursday night at the corner of Red. dross and Tenth streets, and as a result of the combat, Jackson Brown Vas sent to the City Hospital to have wounds on his head dressed, which were caused by violent contact with a china pitch er, and Pearsall and Mack were lodged in jail, the former for striking Brown, and the latter as a witness. Police Officer E R. Chad wick broke up the fight and made the arrests. The case will be heard before the Mayor today. The Steamer Wilmington. The steamer Wilmington came off the ways at Skinner's ship yard yes day as bright and neat as a new pin and is in fine condition now for the heavy travel which her gallant mas ter, Capi. J. W.

When a spirit comes into this world bringing with it any rare gift it is said it is generally very eager to show what it has brought It does not often wait for the body in which it is to work out its mission, to become large and strong before it begins to use the tongue or the fingers that have been given to it to tell what it is here for. So with that of William Sherwood, who will appear in a splen did piano recital at the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday evening. Wnen scarce two years old, he began u devise snort musical phrases of his own- ' He waa as other healthy boys, a busy, happy, noisy child, with only this dilterence: be was always trying to make music and would stop his play at any time to listen to it. He was a lucky boy ! circumstance was as kind to him as nature had been generous. His en vironmentthe surroundings and con ditions of his boyhood could not have been more favorable to the cul tivation of his great gift. His grand father was an eminent man, judge and senator, his grandmother a ladyJ of the highest culture and refinement, (a descendant of the English nobility.) His father. Rev. Lyman H. Sherwood, M. A , is a highly educated man, a graduate of Hobart College, Geneva, New York, and his mother is equally accomplished. They were both musical, the father so much so that instead of following the vocation of a minister, for which he was -ordained, he resolved to give his life to music, in 1B54 ne iounaea, wiin me personal assistance of Dr. Lowell Mason at Lyons, N. Y., one of the first music schools in America. So there a music school all equipped and ready for Master Willie as soon as he was old enough. One of the most surprising things . about the young student was his musical memory, and bis father bestowed much atten tion upon the cultivation of this power. Instead of giving the boy two or three lessons a week and even a single daily lesson of a fixed length, he would require him to play, with close attention, one or more musical phrases, and when, he saw they were thoroughly compre hended he sent him away to practice them and come back for more when they were learned, or when he felt inclined. Each of these lessons lasted four or five minutes . and the little student rarely failed to come back three or four times each day for a les son. Mr. Sherwood is the former instruc tor of one of our prominent' teachers, Miss Hamme, who will have an en thusiastic greeting 'or her esteemed instructor on Tuesday evening. DEATH AT MAXTON, N. C.
