Ordinance Adopted Closing Saloons at Mid- Blfht Something Said About Re- -:; - movint Saloon Screeas Aider . v nea After Ice Manafsctarers. The Board of Aldermen held: a de cidedly interesting session yesterday afternoon. It was a special session called for the express - purpose of pass ing 6n liquor licenses and to consider, the racommegdatiott of the Bbard of Audit and Finance relative to a recon sideration - by the Aldermen of the license tax ordinance. The meeting was called to order about 3:30 o'clock by Mayor Waddell with Aldermen Bailey, West, Harriss, VonGlahn, Mann, Maunder, Parker and Johnson present. After the Mayor had statedVbe two fold object of the special session, - the applications for liquor licenses were taken up. All of the applications, numbering sixty odd, were passed without objection, .'except three, of B. HL J. Ahrens, corner Seventh and Market streets; J. K. Hinnant. No. 6 South Front street, and Westbrook & Co.., just north of Fourth street bridge on the eastern side of the stree't. The applications of the first mentioned two were for renewals of licenses. Alderman Harriss thought it fair that all objections be specifically stated and suggested that upon each objection a committee of three be ap pointed to make due investigation and report to the next meeting of the Board; such a committee to consist of three aldermen and two of the three to be the aldermen from the ward in which the applicant wished to do busi ness. Alderman Maunder objected to a license being granted Westbrook & Co. on-account of the location. He stated that a saloon had been located once before where Westbrook & Co. desired to carry on" business and that it had been a public nuisance ; that at times ladies couldn't sit upon the piazzas of their residences, so great was the disorder. He then ' presented a petition of about twenty-five citi zens living: in the vicinity of Fourth street bridge sustaining his objection. Alderman Harriss did not think the locality should be considered, as one persoki might run an order ly saloon- while another might not be able or have the inclination to run such a place. He then placed his former suggestion in the form of a motion, which was carried, and Mayor Waddell named Alderman West to act with .Aldermen Maunder and Spencer. The objection to Mr. Hinnant's ap plication was next taken up. It was raised by Alderman Johnson, who characterized Mr HinnanV place on Font street, near Market, as dis orderly and also stated that Mr. Hin nant had been . convicted of selling whiskey on Sunday. Alderman Mann took exception to Alderman Johnson's objection. ' He said in his opinion that Mr. Hinnant kept as orderly a saloon as any one. He also said that Mr. Hinnant had been convicted .of selling liquor on 8unday, but that it had only been on a technicality and . that the circum stances deserved commendation .rather than condemnation as Mr. HinnaLt had only sold whiskey to a man for immediate medicinal purposes Mayor Waddell verified Alderman Mann's statement relative to the evidence upon which-- Mr. Hinnant was convicted. Alderman Bailey spoke in favor of granting a license. Alderman Parker thought that AJ derman Johnson's remarks relative to Mr. Hinnant's keeping a disorderly place was a reflection on tbe police force Whose, duty it was to observe order Mayor Waddell assured the board that tbe policemen would not have permitted any disorder at a saloon. Chief Furlong stated when ques tioned in the matter, that Mr. Hin nant's saloon was always kept orderly and that people bad not entered the place on Sunday since he had been chief. Alderman Harriss wanted his former motion relative to an investigation committer t o be appointed to pre vail,but Alderman Parker saw no necessity I9t such a fttp and amended the motion to "grantiDg the license." Alderman West seconded the-amend nnent, which was carried. The objection to Mr. Ahrens' obtain ing a license was raised by Alderman Harriss. He stated that at times he considered Mr. Ahrens' place very dis orderly, and that upon several occa: sions he'had been compelled to tele phone for the police to preserve jordet among the negroes who nightly con gregate Jit his place and drink and carouse. - Mr. Ahrens, who was present at the meeting, stated that he always pre served order at his place and called upon Alderman-Johnson to substan tiate bis statement. x Alderman Johnson said he had al ways thought Mr. Ahrens place thor oughly orderly, but thought it best to refer the application to an investiga tion committee. ; . Alderman Bailey favored granting the license, and so amended the "in vestigation committee" motion, which had been made by Alderman Harriss. The amendment failed to receive a second and the motion was carried. Mayor Waddell, appointed Alder man Bailey as the committeeman to act with Aldermen Harriss and John ion. i y ' : : .- ; j . . Alderman Parker said he didn'tVe the necessity of such an ordinance and together " with Alderman "Mann opposed the adoption. . - The ordinance, however, was adopt ed, 'Aldermen West, VonGlahn, Harriss, Johnson, Maunder anoT Bailey voting aye. Mayor Waddell informed the board that there was an ordinance of long standing prohibiting the use of screens in saloons, and several of the Alder men spoke in favor of enforcing it. The following recommendation, the result of. last Monday night's confer, ence between the Board of Audit and Finance and the Finance: Committee of the Board of Aldermen was read by the Mayor.

"The Board of Audit and Finance having been advised that the city could not levy over one per cent, tax. except by special authority, and the only special authority being the act authorizing bonds which gives authority to levy a tax to poy them, and the interest, we de cided to confer with your committee and met them last evening. After discussing tbe matter" at length we came to the following agreement "Your committee agreed to recom mend to the Board of Aldermen at a special meeting to be called to morrow afternoon, that they reconsider the tax ordinance and pass it in the fol lowing shane : "For debts contracted prior to 1868 SO cents on the $100. For debts con tracted since 1868 and general running exnenses 1.32. For sinking fund 3c On noils 3.96. -'The tax'en liquor dealers to be in creased to 25 ner month. The mem bers of the Board of Audit and Finance present agreed to concur in the above and any other reasonable increase in the license taxes adopted by the Board of Aldermen." Mayor Waddell stated that the budget would run short this year a"bout $8,000 or $10,000 and that in order to adhere lo the different appro priations, why, of course, the neces sary amount naa to ne raiseu. Alderman Harriss opposed raising the fianor dealers' license tax from $22 tT$25 per month, and while speaking on this question stated that he thought the board should stand on its own doi torn: that the Board of Audit and Finance had been grinding and dictat ing to them too much and that he didn't for one propose to stand it. Nearly all the aldermen were op posed to increasing the tax under dis cussion, ao, on motion ol Bdaerman Harriss, that part of the recoxnmenda timi was "tamed down." Alderman Johnson thought that there were other industries that could bMr increased taxation better than liquor dealers, and said he had pre nnrftd such a list. Alderman Harriss eagerly inquired if thci "ifiBmin" was on the list. Alderman Johnson replied in the affirmative, and Alderman Harriss sat Hnn natiafied. ' Alderman Johnson moved an in crease of ice manufacturers' tax from .75 ner annum to $125- Alderman Harriss, backed up by the nth? members, except Alderman Maunder and Aldermen Bailey. who had been excused,- wanted the increase tUV) ner annum. A lHnrman Maunder oooosed the in crease and said he thought , they had nfinirh of the ica Question. Alderman west aryiy remarsea. "vA8. hut not enough ice." Alderman Johnson stuck out for Lis suggestion and thought that $300 was exorbitant Alderman Harriss' motion was car ried. Aldermen Wert VonGlahn,Parker Harriss and .Mann voting aye,' and Alderman Maunder and Johnson nay. The nortion of the recommendation relative to $L-65 property tax was -adonted. v " On motion of Alderman Harriss, the increased ice manufacturers' tax was reconsidered and left open 'until the next meeting.' He stated that he did not recede from his position, but owing to the absence ol several : aiaermen, etc. . thought it best to take such action. The Board adjourned .about 5:30 WILMINGTON, N.

Wil mington won the third' game from Tarboro to day in a game full of close plays, mingled with costly errors, and Allen and Ashenback were both hit hard at times when hits meant runs. Goldsboro, N. C , June 26. Wil mington won to-day's game at Tar boro in the one of the poorest played games of the season. There- was a continual kick from both sides at the umpire, as there were decisions on both sides that were too plain to be missed by any one with average eyes and ability. Ashenback was in the box for tbe Tartars and Allen did the slab work for Wilmington. Ashen back was wild and was hit rather free ly ; and but for the many errors be hind him Allen would have had little trouble in landing the game. Though the game was poorly played, there was a great deal of excitement among the fans of Tarboro. as their team gradually ; closed up the gap in' the score. Twice during the game, with a man on first and third, Allen caught his man trying to go to second, and both times the man scored from third. With the score 9 to 7 in our favor, in the ninth Tarboro scored one on hits, leaving Gilligan on first He attempted to steal and was thrown out at second by Thackara. Foster, the next man up, -made a two base hit which would havescored Gilligan had he remained at first, and tied the score.

Umpire, Mr. Staley. Two Out of Three Is Good Enongh. So Say We All. Kelly is putting fire on the backs of his Turtles, and they are crowding right along. The horse editor is delighted with the' result at Tarboro. Two out of three is good enough. The Southerner of Tuesday gave a long and very creditable story of the game at Tarboro Monday. Tarboro made twelveand Wil mington thirteen hits yesterday. Too much ton did all their "stick" work. If yaa cannot meet the boys at the train this morning give them a rousing greeting at the Park this after noon. Good morning, Mr. Btaley. Wil mington has no storage batteries loaded for you. Richmond has the monopoly in that line. The""Jampions are charged with seven erWrs in yesterday's game. Glad they didn't bring 'em along "down home." The tall and terrible twirler sur named Yorhees will probably be the centre-piece on the diamond for the Giantto day. The Hornets play at- home with the Turtles the remainder of the week. It is hoped they will do better than they did at Raleigh. The Star's special story of the game yesterday was "caught on the fly" at Goldsboro while our Giants were on their home-ruin. Though the hour is somewhat inconvenient, th confirmed cranks should meet the Giants at the A. C. 1Z depot at 9.25 this morning. No, the fellow who is .suffering from an attack of paresis is not satis fied. He thinks' the Champions ought to have won at least three of the three games. Don't you know that 'old man King Kelly is happy over the three games won by his pet Turtles. Well, three stiff "straights" will make mo&t any fellow feel "happy." The Observer seems inclined to to name the Charlotte team the "Spin ners." Well, they do seem just now to be in a "weaving way." The horse editor trusts, however, they will soon be "out of the kinks." ' The Great and Only American Ashenbach Aggregation will appear at JETAlton Park this afternoon.

' Recess Term Cut Short Yesterday Decree of Mortgage ForecloBore Agaiost the Street Railway. The recess term of the United States District Court was brought to a sudden close yesterday on account of the serN ous illness of one of Judge Purnell's daughters, which necessitated his pres ence at his home in Raleigh. He left the city yesterday afternoon. The important matter before yester day's session was the signing of a de cree of mortgage foreclosure in the suit brought by the Morton Trust Co., of New Yorlcagainst the' Wilmington Street Railway Company. Argument was resumed in the case when court re-assembled yesterday morning at -9 o'clock, and speeches were made by George Rountree, Esq., Junius Davis, Esq., and Hon. John D. Bellamy. Upon conclusion of the argument Judge Purnell signed tbe decree, with a few exceptions, as presented by Messrs. Rountree and Carr, represent ing the plaintiffs. . Tho decree gives the railway compa ny forty days to settle the $150,000 mortgage, which, if not paid at the expiration of that time, is to be fore closed, the property being advertised for sixty days and then sold. Mr. A. B. Skelding. the general manager of the railway, was appoint ed a receiver to take entire charge and deposit all receipts if tbe railway in the Atlantic National Bank, subject to orders signed by the court.. Mr. Skelding's receiver's office commenced at noon yesterday. The judge ordered stricken out the order made at the last term of court in the suit brought by O.L Parker vs. the Clarendon Water Works Co. The rule was for the company to show cause ' why judgment should not be entered up against them for failure to file an answer to the com plaint. The answer was filed two days after the rule was made. Iredell Meares, Esq., representing Mr. Parker, opposed the order being stricken out. The suit brought by London Cotton vs. the New York steamship Saginaw, was left to a referee to take testimony, the referee to be selected by mutual agreement of counsel. John H Gore, Jr., Esq., was intro duced to the court and sworn in. Pythian Election of Officers.

LEGAL FRATERNITY. The Third Annual . Session of the North Carolina Bar 1 . Association AT yRIOHTSVILLE BEACH. Called to Order by Hon. Clement Manly. Address of Welcome, by Robt. Roark, M- Esq Senator Prltchard Hon. Cbas. M. Stedman The first meeting of the. third an nual session oft the North Carolina Bar Association wasvheld last night in the spacious, ball room of the Sea shore Hoiel- -The meeting .was called to order by Hon. Clement Manly, of Winston, chairman of the Executive ipommittee, and the major part of the evening was taken up with speech making. Those occupying, seats on the rostrum were Hon. Clement Man ly; Major Charles M. Stedman, presi dent of the Association ; Senator J. C. Pritchard, Robert Ruark Esq., and J. Crawford Biggs, Esq , secretary of the Association. As the chairman of the Executive Committee rose to call the meeting to order, and just as his gavel fell for order, his voice and the sound of the rap for order were drown ed by applause and titters of laughter. An apparition in white flannels had appeared in the hall, and was leisure ly strolling to a seat at the front. The chairman gasped for breath, and tbe Hon. George Rountree, in a brand new suit of white flannels, with slip pers to match, smiled benignly on the assembled crowd. "Gentlemen of the Bar Association," continued Mr. Manly, after recovering from his surprise, "I would have spoken sooner, but something white "appeared." Laughter and applause. In calling the meeting to order, Mr. Manly in his speech spoke of the Association as "an established institu tion, destined in future days to carry out its high functions." His speech was well received, and in concluding he introduced Robert Ruark, Esq., of tbe Wilmington Bar, who delivered the address of welcome onxbehalf of the bar and citizens of Wilmington and Wrightsville. Mr. Ruark spoke for about fifteen minutes and his address was a gem of its kind. We regret that want of space will not per mit us to publish in full his speech and the reply of Senator Pritchard which followed it. The address delivered by Hon. Chas. M. Stedman appears gn the third page of the Star, He nlld his audience spell bound for about three-quarters of an hour and concluded amid pro longed and deafening applause. Senator Pritchard, In his address in reply to the addressjef welcome, paid a glowing tribute to the hospitality pf the Cape . Pear section, and of Wil mington in particular. He set out the aims of the Bar Association, describing it as an organization which has for its object the advancement of the interests of the legal profession, as well as the enforcement of the laws, in such a manner as to insure the en joyment of the many blessings vouchsafed to us by the Constitution of our State. "An Impression," he continued, "has been created in the minds of many that an antagonism exists between citizens of the State and the legal profession. A more erroneous impression has never found lodgment in the mind of man. , It is as essential to the welfare of the people that we should have an enlight ened and honest legal profession as it is that we should have good laws in intelligently administered by an en lightened and honest judiciary. It is therefore the chief object of the Bar Association to keep the legal profession on a plane where its rule of ethics will exclude the shyster and en courage the- lawyer who sacredly observes the oath which he took when he assumed the important trust that has been committed to him by the le Court of our State. , No law can bemcessiuny eniorcea wmcn does not have the sanction of the good citizens of the State, and above all things we should remember that no one will respect the settlement of any litigated question when the ver dict upon which it is based is the re sult of unprofessional methods prac tice by the lawyer who has entered the profession with the 'commercial .idea'- uppermost in his mind. If the members of the bar ' maintain that high standard whlchshould charac terize "our profession in the trial of causes, then indeed will we succeed in popularizing the enforcement of the laws. It is with these things in View that we have formed an -organization composed of the lawyers of the State, and we are here for the purpose of conferring with one another as to the best methods to be adopted in or der to attain the highest professional standard." . The routine business of the ev was quickly disposed of.. The Secre tary announced, the appointment of the following Committees: Committee to reeommend officers Chas. A. Moore, a W, Tillett, John D.
