Committee Reported Adversely Oo Ordl nance Presented Last Week After Its Withdrawal Who Shall Prose cite the City's Cases? Those who expected sensational de velopments from last night's meeting of the Board of Aldermen, and there were many if one may judge from the large crowd that packed the inside rail in the city' court room where the session was held, they were sadly di. appointed. V '. The session was very tame and quite short not over an hour in length. Members of the Board were a little tardy in arriving, but all had token their seats when Mayor Waddell called the meeting to order at about ai5 o'clock Upon motion of Alderman Harriss the reading of the minutes of previous meetings were dispensed with and the Mayor called for the presentation of any other matters that were for con sideration. Alderman Bailey stated that he had a report from the committee on the sanitary sewerage matter. Alderman West at this juncture saidLthat he had been asked to with draw the ordinance recently referred to. the committee on the matter and thought a report unnecessary in that event - Alderman Bailey insisted on submitting the report and the Mayor stated that he aaw no reason why it should not be submitted. . The report was read aa follows : To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen. Gentlemen Your committee on sewer beg to report adversely on the passage of the ordinance presented by the Wilmington Sewer Company by this board. E P. Bailey, W. E. Mann. W. C VohGlahan, Committee. Alderman Harriss wanted to know of Mr. Bailey the depth of the com mittee's investigation, stating that while he did not want to be unduly inquisitive into the matter, the mem bers of the Board would probably want to know something of the plans. Alderman Bailey said thought it un necessary to go into the matter in detail as the ordinance had been with drawn, whereupon on motion of Mr. Harriss, the report was adopted. It was just after the adoption of the report that the curosity of the eager crowd of spectators in the room was satiated. They came to know about the committees over which there was a squabble between the Mayor and Aldermen last week, but which has now been happily settled. Mayor Waddell said in bringing up the matter that he had given much thought and consideration to the mat ter of appointments at the outset Since then events had taken place by which it became necessary to bring up the question again. With the single exception of Mr. Bailey, as chairman of the Streets and Wharves' commit tee, there had been no change what ever from the original appointments. He had, however, as stated at the last meeting appointed a Hospital com mittee to act conjointly with the county committee until the Board of Managers of the new James Walker Memorial Hospital take charge of the. institution. The clerk then read the committees as follows: . Finance Mayor, Bailey, West Fire Mayor, Harriss, VonGlahn. Lights West, Parker, Skinner. Markets Maunder, Harriss, Spen cer. . Ordinances Harriss, Sainner and Mann. Police Mayor, Mann, Maunder. Public Buildings Skinner, Von Glahn, Parker. Sanitary Johnson, Spencer, West Sewerage Bailey, Mann, Von Glahn. Streets and Wharves Bailey, the Mayor, Johnson. ' Water Works Spencer, Johnson, Parker. Hospital VonGlahn.Parker, Mann. The Seweraf e Proposition. When this matter had been disposed of, Hon. Jno. D. Bellamy, counsel for the Wilmington Sewerage Company, by permission, addressed the Board and stated that his clients had not withdrawn from their intention to es tablish system of sewerage in Wil mington and wanted to know to whom to apply for permission to extend its sewers. The Mayor stated that it was a mat ter for the Board of Health and read at the suggestion of Dr. O.T. Harper, the city physician, the general sanitary ordinance adopted a year or more ago. ' " Mr. Bellamy then offered the fol lowing resolution, with slight amend ment by Alderman Bailey making it apply to all sewerage companies, which the Board saw fit to, adopt and which Mr. Bellamy said would put the matter in formal shape for his com pany: -: ' - - Resolved, That hereafter all sewers laid by the Wilmington Sewerage Company under its- charter ratified March 6th, 1893 or any other corpora tion, shall be laid under the supervis ion of the City Engineer in accord ance with plana approved by the Board of Health. Other Board Proceedlcxs. Mayor Waddell called attention to the necessity for a meeting of the several committees for the purpose of making up the budget for their re spectire fiscal year expenses and for an early report to the Finance commit tee. - " ; -. . t ".. ' fly 1 WILMINGTON, N. C, TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 1901. A motion, duly seconded, was made to adjourn but as it was about to be put City Attorney Bellamy, asked to be heard for a few minutes. He stated that he desired to have some instructions relative to the prosecution and defence of the several city suits in the Superior Court which will convene next week. He spoke for about five minutes, and upon the conclusion of his talk, Alder man Bailey called for the question upon the motion to adjourn. The motion was put by the Mayor and carried. Board of Health Meet! or. The Board of Health held another meeting yesterday afternoon relative to the sewerage matter -before the Aldermen last night The following resolution was reported to the meeting of the Aldermen as having;' been adopted by the Health Board. - ; "Resolved, That the Board- of Health of the citv of Wilmington haa Oexamined and ' is satis fit d with the plan of sewerage offered by the Wil mington Sewerage Company through its representatives, Messrs. Lewis & Ives, as follows: "First One system or sewerage circuit embracing that portion of the city between Red Cross and Castle streets, north and south, and Seventh street and the Cape Fear - river, east, and west; provided that said sewerage' system or circuit shall be so built as to include in. addition that poition of the city bounded by Mulberry street on the north and Ninth on the east "Second. Also, a system or sewer age circuit to include the portion of the city not included by the limits above mentioned; said System or circuit to empty into the Cape Fear river at a point not further north than the foot of Wright street "Provided, that both of these sys tems shall be built and equipped in the manner set forth by the representa tives of the Sanitary Sewer Company, of Philadelphia, and according to the plans submitted by them, and that all such work shall be subject to ihe su pervision of the city engineer and shall receive his approval as to the quality of material used and the work which may be done. ''Provided, however, that it is the understanding of this Board of Health in giving its approval of the scheme for sewerage aa submitted by Messrs. Lewis and Ives for the Wilmington Sewerage Company, of Philadelphia, that said sewer company or the suc cessors in establishing this new system of sewers shall not use any part of the sewers in use in this city, whether owned and operated by corporation or private citizen or citizens." A member of the Aldermanic com mittee on sanitary sewerage was asked last night asjto the reason for the adverse report on the ordi nance submitted. It was gathered from him that the city would probably waut to realize tjveral thousand dol lars as a bonus for the sewerage fran chise and that another reason for the adverse report was that the ordinance did not state when the system would be completed and did not contain other restrictions which the commit tee deemed necessary to the city's wel fare. BEAUTIFUL FAVOR GERMAN. Day Class of Miss Lord's Daacioz School Oave a Splendid German Soiree in Germaala Hall Last Nlrht. The favor german given in Ger mania Hall last evening by Miss Cammie Lord, complimentary to her day class, was a brilliant success and the large number of spectators were most pleasantly entertained. Every feature of the entertainment was characteristic of the many delightful dances which Miss Lord has so suc cessfully arranged from time to time, and she is due unbounded praise for the very efficient manner in which every part of the programme was ex ecuted. The dancers all acquitted themselves most admirably, and the occasion was pronounced by all to have been one of the most enjoyable of its kind ever given in Wilmington. The german was beautifully danced by about seventy-five children. The intermissions were taken up with fancy dances which were entirely graceful as well as very pretty. The following young ladies were awarded prizes for excelling in the fancy dances: Misses Virgina Bailey, Blanche Parsley, .Emily West and Lina DeRosset Master Eugene Lucas was awarded a gold medal for the best all-round dancer.

Hsrdlsos Fired On film While He Was Retreating; then Made Good His Es cape Quarrelled Over Petty Police Court Case. A. L Hardison, a young white man aged about 21 years and employed at times, ia the weaving rooms of the Wilmington u Cotton ' Mills, last night at 7 o'clock shot and almost in stantly killed Mannie Breece, an -associate, aged about 18 years, with whom he had a quarrel at Front and Wooster streets, ovtr a trivial matter in the po lice court yesterday morning, in which Hardison's father prosecuted a man named Keeterforan assault Hardi son made good his escape and despite the most vigilant search by the police, he had not been apprehended this morning. Mr. B. M. Wilson, who keeps a grocery store at corner of Front and Wooster streets, was an eye-witness to the shooting. He stated to a Stab reporter shortly after the murder last night that Breece and Hardison began quarrelling in front of his store and were using very violent language He told them to stop their quarrelling or move on. Breece said all right and Mr. Wilson stepped back into the store. Very soon they began again and Mr. Wilson heard them get to gether be fore he could reach the door to reprimand them a second time. Breece had a knife when he first heard them quarrelling and he judged from the sound of the scrimmage that they were fighting with instruments of this kind. When Mr. Wilson got to the door they had broken loose and Breece was running sideways down tfront street toward Dawson and looking backward at Hardison. Mr. Wilson says that to the best of his recollec tion Hardison then stepped back, drew his pistol and fired twice, at the same time exclaiming "Let him come," with an oath. Breece stagger ed on down the street to Mr, Marcus Gray's store and fell into the propri etor's arms, saying "Hold me." He died in a'few minutes and before Mr. Wilson could telephone for a physi cian and the police. Dr. Wright Hall came quickly but Breece had-in the meantime died. When Mr. Wilson went to the tele phone he says that Hardison left. He had an ugly gash about his temple, but he did not sec otherto juries. - Policeman J. A. Martin soon came upon the scene and traced Hardison down Wooster street to a house occu pied by a Mr. Bar field, where it is said he washed the blood from his fore head and jumped over a fence and disappeared. Chief of Police Furlong, who was very soon upon the scene with a special detail of five men, com pletely scoured that section of the city for Hardison, but failed to find him. He lives with his father and other members of the family at Second and Dawson streets. Breece lives with his mother and several sisters at Front and Wright streets. Coroner Stokes was then notified of the death and after viewing the body ordered it sent to the young man's home. He also gave an order to the police for Hardison's arrest The wound which caused Breece's death was from a 32 calibre pistol and the ball entered just under the left shoulder from the back and, it is pre 8umed,penetrated the heart A coroner's inquest will likely - be held this morning, Ia the meantime the authorities are using every effort to effect Hardison's arrest He is easily identified by the wound about his temple. EASTER MONDAY BALL Hibernian Benevolent Society Gave a Most Delightfal German Last Night. The grand Easter Monday ball by the Hibernian Benevolent 8ociety last night was an auspicious' affair and the attendance was gratifyingly large. The dance was given in the Hibernian Hall on North Third street and the music was furnished by a select string orchestra. The occasion was all that could be desired and everybody spoke words of praise for the very pleasant and successful manner in which the ball was conducted. The ball committee was composed of the following v gentlemen : . Messrs. Thos. Quinlivan, Martin O'Brien, P. Donlan, William Sbeehan and Capt Robt Green.

Daggett, Formerly of Wil mington, Met Trsglc Death by Con- tact With Live Electric Wire. The distressing news of the .tragic death of Mr. Jas. S. Daggett, youngest son of the late W. T. and Mrs. Eliza beth R. Daggett, of this city, was re ceived by members of the family here in a telegram from Bluefield W. Va., last night at 9:18 o'clock. The tele gram stated that young Mr. Daggett bad been killed by coming in contact with a live electric wire, but beyond this no pardculars of the sad and iin timely death were received. The telegram was addressed to Mrs. Daggett and read as follows: "Your son, James Daggett, was killed to night by live electric flight jvirey Please advise what so "do. Bluefield Telephone Company." It is useless to state that the sad news, especially coming so quickly after the death of his sister, Mra.B. O. Stone, two weeks sgjr brought universal sorrow to his numerous friends here and members of the family were simply- overcome with grief. He was a boy of very bright promise, and had only on last March 8th attained the age of 21 years. He was manager of the Bluefield Tele phone Company and was '.highly esteemed by the people of his adopted home, whither he went from Pulaski, W. Va., about a year ago. He left Wil mington only about two years since and is favorably known to many Wil mington people for his sterling quali ties in young manhood and his many admirable traits of character. Last Wednesday night he left Wil mington after a visit to his old home on account of the death of his sister and had hardly reached his place of business when the heart-rending news of the fatal accident came back to his already grief-stricken mother, sister and brother, in Wilmington. No funeral arrangements have yet been made but it is expected that the re mains will arrive here to-morrow morning. The announcement will be made later. Deceased is su- vived,. besides his mother, by two brothers and two sisters;. Mr. W. W. Daggett, of Pulaski City, W. Va., comparatively a short dis tance from Bluefield; Mr. WalteFH. Daggett, of Wilmington; Mrs. J. B. Norwood, of Newberry, S. C, and Miss Beth Daggett, of Wilmington. They all are receiving the deepest manifestations of siccerest sympathy. CALL TO REV. BLACKWELL. Considering a Call From Prominent Bap tist Church at Newport News, Va. ' The members of the congregation of the First Baptist church are some what exercised over the fact that their pastor, the Rev. Dr. Calvin S. Black well, is considering a call to the pas torate of a prominent church in New port News, VaMembers of the con gregation with whom a reporter talk ed yesterday, however, expressed the hope and opinion that Dr. Black well would not accept but will remain here with a congregation by which he is so universally beloved. There are, however, many ties which bind Dr. Blackwell dearly to Virginia, and it is feared that this view of the question and the fact that Newport News is a more promising field will induce Dr. Blacswell to accep?.. Such an announcement would evoke very great regret, not only his own denomination but by the com munity at large. Another Pitcher Signed. J. Lawrence Stewart, of Monroe, N. C, has been signed by Manager Peschau of ihe Wilmington baseball team and he will report for duty in a day or two. Stewart is a pitcher with an enviable reputation and will be a valuable acquisition to the team. He played last season with the Abbeville, S.

He is highly recommended by several members of the Wilmington team, who played with him last season.
