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Board Repealed Ordinances Passed Wed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. Harper, expects -to
handle during the Summer for Caro
lina Beach and Southport. The
steamer's bottom ahd decks were
painted by the Pannill Paint Com
pany and the other work was in
equally as competent hands. Begin
ning to-morrow week she will go on
the first of a series of Sunday trips to
Southport and sea, which will continue
during the entire Summer.

ing in the case of the two alleged safe

The State Penitentiary.
There is a general shaking up in
store for the penitentiary. A promi
nent director said something would
drop decidedly next week. Every
employe is over a volcano. He de
clared that the prison affairs are in a
very bad condition and hints at mis
managemeot, and even worse. One di
rector threatens to resign rather than
undertake to straighten out affairs.
The warden is the only officer yet
requested to resign, but other changes
will be made next week. Several em
ployes are already discharged. The
director said one man is receiving $20
a month and board to go a mile to
town twice a day for the mail. .
Major Martin, the embezzler, was
carried to the penitentiary this morn
ing. He was completely broken down
when he reached the prison, and wept
like a child. He will not be given
any work for some time. The direc
tors instructed the superintendent to
give him good fare and plenty of op
portunity for exercise. Will decide
the work to assign him later. Some
clerical work in the prison office
most probable.
The two men recently apprehended,,
charged with cracking the safe of M.
H. Lowry & Co., of Morven, were
given a preliminary hearing at Mor
ven today and were required to give
a justified bond of $5,000 for appear
aace at September Superior Court.
In default of bond they were recom

Ellsworth.

WILLIAM H. SHERWOOD.
Something of the Early Life of Eminent
Pianist Who Will Appear Here
Tuesday Night.
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.
