THE SEWERAGE PROPOSITION
Board of Health Yesterday , Considered
Plans ef Philadelphia Company, Bat
Took No Definite Action.
In compliance with the new law
adopted by the General Assembly just
adjourned, the Board of Health met
yesterday morning at the office of
Mayor Waddell for the purpose of
considering the plans as outlined by
the Sanitary Sewer Company, of
Philadelphia, which is now asking a
franchise 'Tor the establishment of a
complete system in the city. Nothing
definite- was effected at the meeting
and the plans were referred again to
the company for a further proposition.
Present at the meeting were Mayor
Waddell. Drs. GeaG. Thomas, C. T.
Harper, F. H. Russell and CspW-W.
R. Kenan, of the Board of Health:
Chauncey Ives, consulting engineer,
and Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy, attorney
for the Sanitary Sewer Company;
Mr. E. P. Bailey, chairman of the
Streets and Wharves Committee of
the Board of Aldermen, and Mr. W.
F. Robertson, superintendent of the
Clarendon, Water Works Company.
The principal question of debate was
upon the proposition of the Sewerage
company to have all sewers . east of
Seventh street empty into Smith's
creek. Superintendent Robertson, of
the Water Works Company, objected
to this arrangement upon behalf of his
employers, saying that while it was a
question as to whether such an ar
rangement would contaminate the
present approximate purity of the
water supply, many of his patrons
would object, and could not be con
strained to believe the negative; that
while his company had labored un
ceasingly to get a better water supply,
he could but object to the arrange
ment under the circumstances.
It appeared to be the concensus of
opinion that the best way to have the
sewers empty is by circuitous route .to
Wright street and thence down to the
river.
The matter will be considered at
more length at a subsequent meeting.
ALDERMANIC CONFERENCE.
Speculation Was Rife Yesterday as to
Alleged Terms ef Compromise.
"Who Was It Recedes?"
The public yesterday was on the qui
vive for information regarding the
terms of compromise, if indeed there
were terms existing, by which the
hsppy reconciliation of differences
between the Mayor and Board of Al
dermen was effected.
- Qpa,mao.aaid.thcwas iot the.
least recession on the part of the
Mayor;" another said "the Aldermen
got at least apart of what they
wanted;" still another said "both sides
receded;1 others said "neither aide re
ceded, they simply got toge ther,
found the breach not so wide as they
expected, transformed the battle scene
into a love feast and came out rejoic
ing." An Alderman said "nobody
know and the publio will not know
until Monday; we are satisfied.'
Another Alderman said: "We have
buried the hatchet, become harmoni
ous and will give you a good city ad
ministration." Thus was the subject discussed but
Monday night it is expected that all
will be clear and a town chock full of
curiosity gratified. Alderman Bailey
was yesterday approving the bills in
the streets and wharves department,
which is construed to)mean that he will
be shairman of that committee.

Safecrackers la Wadesboro Jail Likely
to Be Transferred 4o Wilmington.
There is a movement on foot to have
the two alleged safe cracksmen in jail
at Wadesboro for the Morvsn, Red
Springs and Raleigh robberies re
moved to Wilmington for safe keep
ing. As stated in yesterday's Stab
the prisoners were bound over to the
Superior Court in the sum of $5,000,
each, and as that court does not meet
for ' the ' trial of criminal cases until
September 2nd, ii is believed safest to
have them in New Hanover-jail.
, CoL W. J. Crosswell, superintend
ent of this division of the Southern
Express Company, who is interested
in the conviction of the prisoners for
the Raleigh express robbery, yesterday
called on Sheriff Frank H. Stedman to
ascertain if they would be admitted
here. He was informed by Sheriff
Stedman that he would receive them
at any time, and : it is presumed the
necessary legaJT steps for the transfer
will be had at once.

THE LOCAL PEANUT MARKET
Effected Very Little by Reported Corner
from New York Spanish Nets.
In view of an Associated Press dis
patch sent out from New York last
week to the. effect that a corner had
been effected in the peanut market, a
Star representative yesterday called
upon a number of the local dealers
and inquired as. to the effect the re
ported "trust" would have here.
It was ascertained that the dispatch
was correct so far as regards Spanish
nuts but that it did not apply to North
Carolina and Virginia varieties, in
which there is no rise in price.
Spanish peanuts, however are finding
sale at 80 cents per bushel, which is
an advance over quotations a short
time ago and-they are said to be very
scarce even at that figur The rise in
tne fcjpanisb. nut is said to be attribut
able to the fact that there has been a
patent granted recently upon an auto
matic device for selling peanuts in
bags and as the Spanish nuts are in
much more uniform size and more
palatable, they have been chosen for
use in the machines and hence the
result is large purchases which
amount, with the scarcity, almost to a
corner.

Raleioh, N. C, April 6. Mem
bers of the sub text-book commission
are putting in some hard work now,
examining text books with a yiew
toporWg7ApiiT gSrd" to the Text-
Book Commission (8tate Board -.of
Education, as to their merits and de
merits, so that' the commission may
adopt text books for use in the nublic
schools of the State in accordance with
the provisions of the Avcock school
law. A prominent member of the
commission tells me that the sub
commission will scarcely ber ready to
report oy tne Z3rd. Buch a srreat
quantity of books have have been sub
mitted in connection with the bids
that the sub-commissioners find them
selves in the midst of almost an end
less task. There are ten members, all.
prominent educators from various
parts of the State and thev are
11 here working like beavers. There
are also many representatives of book
publishers here who are, as far as
tney can, indirectly helping along the
work, in prexariner briefs of their
books, etc., so that the members of
the commission may the more auickly
arrive at their merits.
Chairman N. B. Broughton. of the
executive committee of the North
Carolina Sunday School Association,
tells me that the work of the associa
tion, which is an inter-denominational .
movement, bids fair to break all pre
vious records this year. With Prof.
8. H. Crowell, of High Point, at its
head, directing the field secretary
work, an aggressiveness will be in
jected into the work which will insure
greater usefulness.
Tne report prepared bv Chairman
John C. Dre wry, of .the Streets Com
mittee, and presented to the Board of
Aldermen, shows that Raleigh has du
ring the past six years macadamized
seven miles of streets, put down thirty-,
one miles of curbing, and paved nine
teen mues or sidewalk. The cost of
this work has been thirty cents per
square yard for macadam; eighteen
cents per yard for curbing.and twenty
five cents for Belgian block. Raleigh
is soon to vote another $100,000 for
Street improvements .
During the past six vears Raleigh
has spent $310,000 for permanent street
improvements: $ 150.000 from bond
issues and $60,000 frlto the general
fund. North Carolina's capital city is
pronounced by all visitors as rapidly
becoming one of the most beautiful
cities in the South, largely as a result
of these street improvements. The

to be completed Wednesday.
Hon. Frank I. Osborne is here to
