Committee reports were called and
the Mayor, for that on finance, report
ed concurrence in the : suggestion of
the Board of Audit and Finance ' re
ducing the tax rate to $L60, as has
been previously . noted. It was : con
servatively estimated that; with the
rate at that figure $170,000 in revenue
would be raised, whereas only $166,
000 is appropriated."' The report was
adopted. The Finance Committee
also - took - up - the account of former
Citv Attorney Iredell Meares, showing
a ' balance due the city of some $3,900,
which had been paid after deducting
fees and commissions amounting to
$1,528.94. The Finance committee
recommended that all items be paid,
except where it was stated that 20 per'
cent had been charged on judgments
obtained, but no actual collections
made. The '.Mayor stated that the
committee did not deem it equitable to
nuMr. Meares 20 per cent except on
actual collections. '"Alderman Harriss
made a motion ' that V Mr. Meares
be requested - to . turn into ; the
treasury both the amount dne
the city and his commissions and that
the commissions then be returned to
Mr, - Meares. At this juncture the
question of back taxes came up and
Judge Bryan, who was ; present, took
occasion to J explain his connection
with the matter in the past to the en
tire satisfaction of all present Judge
Bryan stated and was agreed with by
all present that unless all the circa in
stances were understood, he might be
placed in a false light in the matter
and his statement to the board was en
tirely satisfactory. :f --i i --:-The
vale of old "Dick Jones,", a
veteran fire department horse, was au
thorized, he being unfit for service.

The first experience on the sewerage
question came from an adverse report

investigate the petition of sundry cit
izens to allow excavations for sanitary
and other necessary work in r ail sec:
tions of the city : st of Seventh,

minority report favoring the granting
of the petition.; Mr. VonOiahn movea
for the adoption of the majority report
and Harriss for the minority report as
a substitute.. Onrthe latter proposition
Messrs. Harriss, Maunder, West and

and the passage of the ordinance pre--
company the right to run trolley lines
through the streets 'of the citv men
tioned in the said ordinance. .It has
been found necessary : to employ ex
perts to make a physical examination
of the line of railroad of the Wil
mington Seacoast Railroad Company
and its equipment, with a view to as-,
certaining the cost and expense which
tne company would oe put to in con
verting its nresent railroad into an
electric or trolley line. .This exami
nation will cost the company, we are
advised, not less than $1,200 and per-
naps as mucn as 2,uw. xne company
does not feel like going to the expense
of making this examination and pay
ing out this large amount of money
unless it is assured in advance of ' the
street privileges asked for by the . pas
sage of tne ordinance. .
We are very desirous of making
the change spoken of and of convert
ing the Seacoast railroad into a trolley
line, and it is our intention to do so if
the report of the experts is favorable
and the cost is not too heavy .The city
can lose nothing by the passage of the
ordinance, while it may be of great
personal advantage and benefit to the
citizens at large. .. v
It will be easy to secure tne cirr m
this matter and to prevent any abuse
of the , privileges granted - by provi
ding in the ordinance that It shall be
void and repealed unless this company
commences work upon its road within
six months. Respectfully, (signed)

Messrs. Hugh - MacBae -and Junius
Davls.addressed the Board at length in
favor of the petition and Hon. Jno. D..
Bellamy representing a large majori
ty of the Wilmington Street Bail way
bondholders, spoke against the petition.
Mr. MacBae gave the Board to under
stand that the success or failure of tne
project to build a '"trolley; line to the
beach depended entirely upon the ter
minal facilities. From $50,000 to $75,
000 in new capital must be interested
and poor terminal service will kill the
possibility of such a thing. He said bis
ceonle had no reasonable expectation
of purchasing the street railway at its
sale in October, though they would
llkelv bid on it: the proposition was
entirely problematical and the sinceri
ty of their purpose should not be qnes-
tiftned. --Zi-'i :'"S.:'-" " :'.- V-'.'

:t': r; A;p Declared laiane;-.; -:;:v
Because : he haa a .rather peculiar
and mad infatuation v f or -. several
young :. ladies whom he has lately
met - and insists upon imposing his
company upon them-whether desired
or not, T. H. Bobbins, aged ; S5 years
and a stshmaker at the Fore & Foster
actory; was the principal in arather
sensational ; investigation by a com-,
mission of lunacy in the office of OoL
Jno."D- Taylor yesterday afternoon.
The- physicians in attendance were
Drs. D. W. Bulluck, Jos. C. Shepard
sud a D. BelL Wf -r'A -
The proceedings grew out of a dis
turbance which resulted, from young
Rob approaching a youne. lady on
her return home from Grace Church
Sunday afternoon and icBisting upon
accompanying her home, notwith
standing that she had company in the
person of her first cousin, Mr. James
Davis, and that the young lady was
not desirous of receiving attentions
from him. Bobbins insisted upon ac
companying the young lady and was
dealt a severe blow by Mr, Davis, who
' " a '
nad knowledge 01 uoooins persistency
In paying attention, to the young lady
before., - - j - : U' - - :
The case originally came up in Tthe
police court yesterday morning and
Mavor Waddell sent the young man
over for the lunacy commission. He was
represented at the hearing by Marsdeh
Bellamy, Jr., Esq., and L. V. Grady,
Esq.,- appeared for the prosecution.
He was adjudged insane after bearing
a number of witnesses and the opinion
of the medical experts: .who said that
he was perfectly conscious of wrong
doing but was powerless to prevent it
Mr. Bellamy, intimated that 11 . there
was any further, legal step to take to
save his client from the asylum', he
would do so as he is perfectly confi
dent that the young man is sane. ' He
has a brother and two sisters living in
the city and is regarded as one of the
most skillful and well paid employes
at the sash factory." r . ;. '.'" ;;
Several years ago be Is said to have
become so infatuated - with - a joung
lady who scorned his attentions . that
he procured a marriage license, drove
to her home and demanded that she
marry him: The police interfered and
he had ; since dropped from, public
notice until yesterday. 5 1 '3 : 'A ?
