Held Their Last Meetiar Yesterday Atter aoon aadNow Comes, the New Sa ' perlateadeat's Report. .. . ; - -; The chief feature of yesterday after; noon's regular monthly meeting - of the Board of Managers of the City Hospital was the reading of the monthly report of Dr. A. H. Harriss, acting superintendent of the institu tion. The report covers 'the conduct Of the hospital up to the night of July 23rd, at which time the management passed oyer into the hands of the Board of Managers of the .James -Walker Me morial Hospital. The report shows that during the month 43 patients were treated,, of which number 23 were colored and 20 were white." ; There were remaining at the hospital June 30th, 18 patients and 25 were admitted . during the month, makiug a total of 43r TbirtT nine were discharged during July, in cluding the number passed over to. the new hospital, and 4 died. Pay patients, were treated 74 days and charity, pa tienta , 398 . days.. Rations - were fur nished to employes 345 days, making the total rations 817. The average cost per capita was 22 cents per day. ' The amount expended for subsistence dar ing the month was $187.18; general expenses, $143,01; psy roll, $163.43, Total, ' $493.62. The ; receipts - were : Pay patients, $142.30; prescriptions, $36; city, $166.66; county, $250. Total, $594.96. V The receipts over; expendi tures were $10L34. , Upon motion it was ordered that upon payment of current expenses for this month, the balance on hand to the credit of the .City Hospital be turned over to the treasury of the new institution. The amount turned over is approximately $400. Upon the conclusion of this business Chairman McEachern stated that the board had been supplanted by the new board and there was no further use for its existence, whereupon an adjourn ment sine dit was taken. There were present at the last meeting, which was held at the Court House at 3 o'clock. Messrs. McEachern, Holmes and Montgomery. Just before adjournment Chairman McEachern had occasion to say if Mr. James M. Hall, the popular interne at the institution who was present at the meeting, that his services at the hos- pital had been most satisfactory and he had great pleasure in expressing the sentiments of the board to this effect, His reports were always neat and correctly kept; he hoped that there would be-no change in the in terne for the new hospital. - In this connection it is well to state that the new board has notified.: all employes at the hospital that where services had been conscientious! j. and faithfully performed all would be re tained in the employment. -" "J ' TALKING ABOUT FRANCHISES. Discnssloa On Streets Shifted Prom Sew erste .te Street Railway Opioloas. The sewerage question received a much needed rest on the streets, in offices and in stores yesterday, the discussion having been' transferred, temporarily at least, to the practica bility of the issuance by the city of a franchise to the Wilmington Seacoast Railroad to extend its proposed trolley line from the oeach into the city. There ' was a diversity of opinion as to the duty of the aldermen in the matter, and it will require several days for an" official in that capacity to determine the exact wishes of his con-, stituency in the matter. Some people even went so far as to question the sincerity of the Seacoast people in asking for the franchise. , One man said : "The move on the part of the Seacoast railroad is easily understood. They , simply aht a franchise to lay tracks, so that when the Street rail way is sold under fore closure on October 7th, its franchise in this respect will be greatly deteriorated in value. Then they will buy . the Street railway, as it is their purpose to do ultimately any way, and not much, if any, more than the $100,000 will have to be paid for it It is a shrewd move." And thus it went Chaages is County Court Room. : When the Buperior Court for New Hanover convenes Monday.attepdants upon tne . same wno nave noi Kept track of events will be surprised to find the wonderful transformation that has token place in the court room. The job was completed yesterday by carpen ters under the direction of Mr. H. E.

The entire plan of the court room is changed, with thejudge'a bench, etc., facing the north instead of the east as heretofore.

As the date for the event approaches the prospects are growing brighter and brighter for the annual reunion of the North CarblihaDivision; United Confederate Veterans, at Wrightsvilie Sound,- beginning on the afternoon of Wednesday, Aug. 14th, and continu ing for three days. r: : : The gist of. the general order issued about two weeks ago by Major Gen eral Julian S.I Carr, - officially calling the encampment and reunionr Jhas al ready been published in these col umns and it is now unnecessary to repeat -v :. " During the encampment -.the. an nual election of division and brigade commanders will lake place, to wit: A major general and four brigadier generals. Only those will -be entitled to vote at this election who are duly accredited delegates from camps which are reported b Adjutant - General Moorman as having paid their dues. The attention of camp commanders is especially galled to this, and they will at once see that their camp dues are paid, as required by the constitution of the United Confederate Veterans. " At Camp Aycock where the encamp ment will be held there are accommo dations for about 1,000 persons and those who do not desire the novelty of camp life may find boarding places with reduced rates. All the railroads have given a rate of one cent a mile in ' each direction for the occasion. Tickets will be on sale Aug. 12th, 13th and 14th and- are good for one continuous passage until the 24th. The agent at any station will give the exact price of a ticket from his station on application. This rate is given to all visitors as well as to the veterans.. Brigadier General F. M. Parker, oi the Third Brigade, North Carolina Division, U. C. V., has issued orders for the annual election of officers for his division, from Enfield, N. C, under date of July 30th. In concluding- the order General Parker sayS: "My comrades, with these induce ments, let us turn out . in full force. This may" be . the last reunion for many of us before we cross the river; The brigadier general commanding will be disappointed if the third is not the largest brigade of the division." One of the greatest features of the encsmnmeni will be the speech of General Matt W. Ransom. As pre viously noted in these columnsT' his speech will be made on the 15th inst and a very large . crowd of his old comrades and friends will very likeTy hear him. - CONFERENCE AT ROSE HILL.
