He Will Advise Tax Listers As to Their Duties As Assessors Under the Act Adopted by Last LeglsUtnre. : The EqaallzttioB Board. Pursuant to Section 717 of the CJode of North Carolina, Chairman D.- Mc Eachern, of the Board of Ooun ty Commissioners, has called a meeting of the justices of the peace of New Hanover to be held at noon Monday. June 3rd, at the Court House for the purpose of passing upon i the tax levy for the ensuing fiscal year as fixed bv VOL. LXVIII.-N(X the XJounty' Commissioners, . and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meet- The tax levy has not yet been an nounced by the commissioners owing to the fact of the bond issue election, the campaign for which is now on, but it will be arranged and presented to the magistrates for acceptance at the time indicated above. There is no election of County Com missioners at this meeting, as these omciais, pursuant to Section 716 ' of the Code, Vol., L", were , elected for two years at the - meeting last year. Section 716 under which the meeting Monday week is called provides for a joint session, of the commissioners and magistrates and a majority of the qualifed justices of the peace in the county constitutes a quorum For attending these meetings the magis trates receive no compensation but the register of deeds, who is an ex officio clerk of the meeting, will receive such compensation for his services as the Board of Commissioners shall provide. After the levy is fixed the new Revenue Act of 1901 provides that the Board of County Commission era as an equalization board shall " meet on the first Monday in July and revise the tax list and valuation reported to them. It shall be the duty of the Register of Deeds, without additional compensa tion, to complete the list by computing the tax payable by each person and af fixing the same opposite his name. The commissioners at this meeting will hear all complaints of over-valuation and will have power to summon and examine witnesses and will correct the list of list takers as they may deem equitable "and just. They will have power, after notification of the owner or s gents, to raise the valuation of any property they deem unreasonablyelQw. o Confer With Tax Listers. Another important meeting that will have much bearing upon taxation matters in New Hanover is the con ference at Wilmington to morrow of Chairman Franklin McNeill, of . the Board of State Tax Commissioners, a creation of the last Legislature, with the several tax listers of the county. Mr. McNeill will meet the listers at 1 o'clock in the morning at the Court House and will advise them as to their duties as assessing officers officer under n "Apt to provide for the assessment of property and the collection of taxes." The three mem bers of the Board of Tax Commission ers are holding meetings at principal Dointe throughout the State for this purpose. Yesterday Chairman Me Neill was at Kinston: to-day he is at Newborn and he will leave to-morrow afternoon for Charlotte. CORONER'S JURY OF INQUEST.

Sturdy young Allen in the box for the locals, was winding up his long string of victories for the home aggregation. and had downed two men of the three that would have made the "white wash" complete. Then the rain came harder and the three hundred and fifty spectators be gan leaving the park and Capt. Barley Kain was heading a string of the Grays toward the gate. Traeger had' flown out on a beautiful "flow" to Sebring and Manners had gone out from Allen.. Bass came up and per ambulated; then Darby got a single and Fillman got first on Clayton's juggling with a wet ball which gath- )d "moss" as it came to him. The bases were then full, and Barley Kain and-his boys turned their faces back to the bench. It was not the fault of Tacks'1 but Saffte gathered one of his "finest" on the nose for three bases, according to Ashenback's vocabulary, and Bass, Darby and Fillman, a form idable looking trio, galloped across the plate. Kain came up, but went out on a beautiful catch by Sfbring. "Right After 'em" was the clarion call shot across the lot to his men by Capt "Bob" when Richmond opened up with the stick and this injunction was scrupulously complied with until the almost fatal ninth, which is told of above. Darby went out to Stafford ; Fillman was hit and 8a fie flew out to Sebring, who doubled up to "Davy", and Capt "Bob," retiring the side. Wilmington went out in its batting order. In the second by a wild throw of Warren and an error by Crockett Richmond filled the bases with Garrett, Bigbie and Manners after Kain had popped out and Traeger had sacrificed. Bass came up and popped out to Allen. TXrl..4nn nnt aa far ab iMtnnd hilt Wilminirton got as far as second bu was unable to get past that point About the same story could be told of the third inning and the fourth was featured by a star catch by Se bring of Bigbie's long drive and a two base hit of Traeger, which however, did not develop into a run. Crockett led o for the Giants with a beautiful two-base hit to right; Clayton sacri flees Crockett to third but he is caught on a bad " coach to home plate on a hit bv Stafford to short? Devlin flew out to short In the Fifth Bass led off with a two- base hit to left and Darby saenncea him to third.

Warren got a long single 1 and Sebring running for Stafford and I Devlin, who was hit and walked, I score. McGinnis let drive to second I ana w arren was caugnt at nome on a I daring run. Thackara flew out to left In the seventh a fishy decision by Mr. Staley allowed' Traeger to run in home and much discussion ensued which resulted in Traeger's being put out on the bench by Allen, Mr. Staley holding. , that he . did hot - touch the plate. , The "rooters" unanimously argued that he was put out in - the first instanceand put out a second time when Allen touched him on the bench. Darby forced Bass at second. For Wilmington Sebring got the only single, Allen having gone out from third, Crockett to right and "Capt Stafford having fanned after Capt Eainhad dropped a beautiful drive by Clayton to centre." In the eighth, Fillman flew out, Saflie promenaded, Kain flew out to Sebring; Baffle stole second ; Garrett got first on Clayton's error and Bigbie flew out to McGinnis. For Wilming ton, Devlin went out from short; Warren singled by short; McGinnis flew out to right and Warren scored on ; Thackara's two bagger. Allen walked but Sebring flew out to first The story of the ninth in which the rain and a bunching of . hits by Rich mond cheated Wilmington out of a shut-out, has already been told and it would be painful to repeat it here.

The Giants made . a fine catch when they signed Sebring. He was enthusiastically applauded for bis fine work yesterday. Old man Thackara drove a "beauty" into centre field yesterday. "He's a good one." The very threatening weather ma terially reduced the number of "March hares" at the Park; but, after all. the rain was accommodating enough to postpone active work until the ninth inning. Then it raised Kain. The rain which began falling at the close of the eighth inning, had a re juyenating effect on the Grays, en abling them to make three runs in theminth. But "enough is a plenty." If the horse editor can get a second he will move that we - make it three straight to day. What say "the doc tor" and "Cousin Sam?" The horse editor told you yesterday it was on the cards for Portsmouth to beat Raleigh, and that the Giants would beat the Grays to-day. That puts Wilmington "top of column and next to reading matter,'1 Wilmington is now.34 points ahead of Rjdeighin the percentage column. TO morrow Portsmouth comes and Richmond goes to Raleigh. Next week Wilmington goes to Richmond for games, and the following week Ashenback will be with u again. Features of yesterday's game for Richmond were Darby's short and Traeger's fielding for Wilmington, Sebr in fir's star work in left and the stick work of Warren, and Thackara. It is probable that Foreman will go in the box to day for the home team. Delaney left last night for bis home in New York State. The closely contested games here with Richmond are evidence of how well matched are the teams in the league. The "bottom of the ladder" plays the "top notch" and it is nip and tuck between the two, ' Richmond Will Strengthen. The Richmond Times of yesterday says: ; ; ... : "Catcher Ganns was released b Manager Kain Saturday. He wi robably catch on In some other team n the league. Bishop did , not go on 'Treasurer Traneri will leave for Washington this morning to secure new players to strengthen his team. He will confer with Manager Manning, and will act largely on his advice. Every effort will be made at once to strengthen the team, and it is quite likely that a winner will be made ox the club by the time it returns to .Richmond from North Carolina next Monday. J Mr. Trafien telegraphed for a Wilmington (Del.) pitcher to meet him in Washington; and if his record proves satisfactory he will sign him at once."

CLERK OF MUNICIPAL COURT. here Was Non-Concurrence In Action of Aldermen City Attorney's Salary Restored Salary of Health Of ficersBack Tax Books. Several matters of very general public interest came up ' at last night's regular meeting of the City Board of Audit and Finance, at which Chair man McQueen presided and upon which all the members were in attendance. Mayor Waddell appeared before' the Board and asked for concurrence in the action -by the Aldermen . in pro viding a clerk for the municipal court, who also is qualified as a magistrate and therefore vested with the power of making out warrants, etc., in the Mayor's absence. He stated that he had appointed, by power given him by the Aldermen, Mr. F. T. 'Skipper, and that in addition to his duties as clerk of the municipal court Mr. Skipper would assist with the work in the city clerk and treasurer's office. Mayor Waddell asked that his appointment be confirmed and that a salary for the clerk be fixed. " The matter, upon motion of Mr, W. A. Riach, was not acted upon ana the gayor and Aldermen were referred to the action of the Board of Audit and Finance at its meeting of May 14tb, when an increase of one extra ser geant of police was allowed, provided that the duties of the clerk of the police court be performed by souie member of the police department. The action of the Aldermen in pro viding for three permanent and one temporary health inspectors and the arrangement of the salary of perma nent officers at $45 per month was not concurred in, it having been agreed upon the fixing of the budget that there should be two permanent and two temporary officers at salaries of $40 per month each. In regard to the extra $1 per day allowed street laborers by the Alder men for working in sewer pipes, it was decided by the Audit and Finance Board to allow only 50 cents per day extra, and their action in sa doing was understood not to be establishing a precedent in this particular. The donation of $5e to the Jack sonville fire sufferers was cheerfully concurred in. Upon the advice of the Streets and Wharves Committee that the bid of the S. P. Cowan Livery Company for caring for the city mules included shelter for the vehicles, the bid for same was accepted. The action of the Aldermen in au thorising the Fire Committee to rent a lighter for the fire department was referred back to ftie Aldermen with inquiry as to the cost to the city of buying such a lighter, instead of rent ing. The. salary of the City Attorney, upon motion of Mr. Riach, was restored to $500 per yf ar and in regard to the back tax books, the matter was re ferred to the Chairman with instruc tion to consult a disinterested attorney as to the legal status of the question as to whether the commissions on the collection of same would go to the present city attorney or the retiring official in this capacity. After the examination and approval of bills for current expenses, the Board adjourned, subject to call of the chair man. . PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Capt. J. L. Autrey, of Autreys- ville, arrived in the city last evening. Mrs. J. O. Shepard and chil dren left yesterday morning to visit at Kenansville. . The Stab is glad to note that Dr. W. O.
