Enthusiastic Meeting Last Night of Execa
tlve ComiBltteC"How to Erect Booths.
The Executive Committee of the
Elks' Carnival held a most enthusiasm
tic meeting last night at the Temple,'
Mr. H. J. Gerken presiding. All the
sub-committees were well represented
and with few exceptions by a full
membership. Encouraging reports
were received from every department
and new work was mapped out for the
; coming week. The territory contigu
ous to Wilmington has been well
worked in an advertising way and
travelling men say the crowds will be
large.
Merchants in the carnival district
are expected to erect booths in front
of their stores and that all may be
creditably represented, Mr. F. C. Huff
man, the fair promoter, and Mr. H. J.

the visit.
NEGRO CARPENTER INJURED.
Toomer Dixon Pell From Elevated Gang

Toomer Dixon, a colored carpenter
engaged on the gangway of The Coal,

yesterday morning about 8 o'clock and
badly fractured one of his legs below

large wheelbarrows to pass him on the
gangway, he lost his footing and fell
to the ground, a distance of about
twenty-five feet. In falling he struck
a box car on the track beneath him
and this saved, him, perhaps, from
more serious injury. He was attended
temporarily by Dr. T. 8. Burbankand
later sent in the patiol wagon to the
Walker Memorial Hospital. '
Dixon is very well known in Wil

committee consisting of Rev. Dr. Cal

and Rev. R. H. Hewlett, was appoint
ed to ask for letters of dismission from
the Eastern Association and to meet at
Burgaw on Thursday following the
third Sundav in November for the
purpose of forming a new Association
to be named, perhaps, the "Wilming
ton Association."
The Eastern Association now com
prises a very large area and there has
long been on the part of the churches
in the Southern division a desire to
withdraw from the old and form a
new association. This desire will prob
ably be gratified in the - formation of
the new organization as will be out
lined by the committee in charge.

Directory Ordered.
Yesterday afternoon at 12:15 o'clock
the regular monthly meeting of the
Board of Managers of the Produce
Exchange was held in the Exchange
rooms on Water street. Mr. P. Pear-
sail presided and those in attendance
were Messrs. KB. Rogers, Q. J.Boney

Messrs. J. H. Chadbourn? Jr., H. W.

L. Cantwell having been busily en
gaged with his stock report, Col.
Taylor acted as secretary.
Mr. J. King. Corbett, commercial
agent in Wilmington of the C. & O.
railroad, was unanimously elected to
membership in the organization in due
form.
The secretary was instructed to pur
chase a classified business directory of
New York for the use of members of
the Exchange.
The service of the Inter-State tele
phone Z which was recently discon
tinued, was ordered reinstated.
Messrs. H. Q. Smallbones and J. A.
iCrringdale were elected to represent
the Exchange at the River and Harbor
Congress to be held at Baltimore Oct
8th and 9th. These gentlemen will
also represent the Wilmington Cham
ber of Commerce.
The most important matter con
sidered by the meeting,- perhaps, was
the desirability of extra mail and pas
senger train facilities on the Wilming
ton, Columbia and Augusta Railroad .
xnere is now one passenger train on
the road between Wilmington and
Florence, but the Exchange managers
think it would be a great benefit to se
cure another train and the Atlantic
Coast Line Company will be petitioned
to that effect. The Chamber of Com
merce will be asked at its meeting to
morrow afternoon to join in the re
quest. It was stated at the meeting yester
day that a train reaches Mullins, EL C,
each day from Charleston and that it
would entail very little more expense
to bring it on to Wilmington, reach
ing here about 10 P. M. and returning
n time to reach Mullins and go out on
its regular schedule as now. It was
also pointed, out that it would greatly
facilitate the work of travelling sales
men from Wilmington's wholesale
houses.
Upon motion, Mr. G. J. Boney was
appointed to confer with the railroad
authorities relative to the improved
service.
Other routine business was trans
acted of no general interest and the
Board adiourned.

AFFAIRS OF THE CITY
Board of Audit and Finance Held
Semi-Monthly Meeting Yes
terday Afternoon.
THE BUSINESS CONSIDERED
It Was Principally of Minor Importance.
Suggestion Prom Alderman Johnson
as to Health Officers Salary of
Messenger Increased.
At the regular semi-monthly meet
ing of the City Board of Audit and
Finance yesterday afternoon at 3
o'clock a number of matters were con
sidered, but none of them was of un
usual importance. Present at the
meeting were Chairman McQueen and
Messrs. Yates and Wilder; absent,
Messrs. McNair and Riaob. Alder
men Harriss and Johnson were also in
attendance.
Action of the Board of Aldermen in
increasing the salary of Melvin Dent,
messenger to the Mayor, from $20 to
$30 per month was not concurred in,
but in its stead, upon motion of Mr.
Yates,' the salary was made $25 per
month. Alderman Harriss was present
to urge the increase.
Alderman Johnson was present to
urge a shange in the system of health
officers, by which three men will be
on permanent duty the year round
instead of four in Summer and two in
Winter as now. Mr. Johnson ex
plained that it would cost only $10 per
month more in Winter to have three
permanent officers, whereas in Sum
mer the saving in salary would
more than overbalance the exces in
Winter. The Board was of the opin
ion that if the change is desirable at
all, it is best to defer the same until
the beginning of next Summer.
City Attorney Bellamy, who was
also present, stated to the Board that
Mayor Waddell had admitted all the
allegations in the complaint of the
o. P. Cowan Livery Company in its
suit against the city for oavment for
the police patrol wagon and asked the
Board as to the method of his defence
of the suit in court. He was instruct
ed to defend the suit to the best possi
ble advantage. It will be remember
ed that the Board of Aldermen au
thorized the purchase of the vehicle
and the Board of Audit and ' Finance
refused to concur in the contract.
The matter of fixiner the compensa
tion of the tax lister was deferred un
til a subsequent meeting, which will
be held as a special session in a few
days.
The contract and agreement with
the city attorney, which had previous
ly been referred to the chairman for
examination was found correct in
every detail and was' formally apr
proved.
Bills of tbe Wilmington Live Stock
Co. for $385 for two mules for the street
department and $150 difference in ex
changing two worn-out horses for a
new pne for the fire department, were
approved.
A bill in favor of the City Attorney
for $143.19 for collection of $1,374.53
back taxes, was also approved.
No other bills were approved at the
meeting and adjournment w as- had
subject to call of the chairman.
