AUDIT AND-P1NANCE BOARD.
Special Meeting Yesterday Afternoon at
Which Important Matters Were Con
sideredMr. J. A. Orrell Quali
fied as Member of Bosrd.
Two important measures were pass
ed upon by the Board of Audit and
Finance at a special meeting held yes
terday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock.
The first was the approval of the
contract of Wm. McLean & Co., for
the extension of the water works sys
tem into Fifth ward and another im
port ant step was the approval of the
bid of Messrs. Roger Moore's Sons &
Co., for the paving of the two blocks
of Princess street between Second and
Fourth. The award of both contracts
had previously been made by the
Board of Aldermen, but were held up
by the Finance Board for a short time,
the first contract for an amendment
and the second for the submission to
that board of all the bids for the street
work. Work on both contracts will
now begin at once and be rushed
through to completion.
In these columns yesterday extended
reference was made to the extension
of the water works system and the
property owners of Fifth ward will re
ceive gladly the news that nothing is
now in the way of its early comple
tion. The contract with Messrs. Mc
Lean & Co. was made at $4,975.
The paying contract, as let to Messrs.
Moore's Sons & Co., is at $1.74 per
square yard, and this work will be
commenced at a very early date.
Another important feature of yester
day afternoon's meeting was the quali
fication and entrance upon his duties
of Mr. Jno. A. Orrell, who was re
cently elected a member of the Board
to succeed the late Wm. A. Riach.
The oath of office was administered to
him by Mr. W. H. Northrop, clerk of
the Board and a justice of the peace.
He then took his seat and participated
in the meeting as a member of the
body.
No other business was transacted at
the meeting, the routine work and ex
amination and approval of bills hav
ing been left over until the regular
meeting Tuesday night. In attend
ance upon yesterday's session were
Chairman McQueen and Messrs.
Yates, Wilder and Orrell.
ORREENWOOD REVIVAL MEETINGS.
Services Yesterday More Larrely Attended.
Increased Interest-Two Conversions.
The Greenwood meetings were
marked yesterday by an in

part of the people. It was noticed
yesterday that the congregations were
more largely made up of people from
the various churches of the city, and
pastors of several of them were also
in attendance.
The congregation last night was a
very large one, and the service was a
very tender one. Mr. Greenwood
spoke from the theme, "Looking to
Confession and Uniting With
Christ." At a very largely attended
after meeting" there were two con
versions and professions.
The down town prayer meeting to
day will be held from 11 to 11:30 A.
M. instead of from 12:30 A. M. to 1 P.
M. as before. The other services will
be as usual. To-morrow, Saturday,

town or at the church, but the usual
services will be held on Sunday.

COUNCIL TO DIE T0-M0RR0W.
Cumberland County Rsplst Will Pay Pen
alty On tbe Gallows at Fayetteville.
Preparations Complete.
To-morrow between the hours of 10
A. M. and 2 P. M., Lewis Council, the
Cumberland county rapist, will pay
the death penalty upon a gallows con
structed in the jail at Fayetteville.
The case of Council has become fa
miliar throughout the State for the ex
traordinary efforts that have been put
forth to save him and the unusual
number of respites that have been
granted him from time to time.
A few days ago an error was dis
covered in the death warrant in that
it read for the negro to hang on Satur
day November 1st, when the calendar
date comes on Friday. Governor Ay
cock promptly forwarded a corrected
copy to Sheriff Burns and now the ex
ecution will take place on Nov. 2nd,
as stated. The hanging will be private
and only 26 persons in all will witness
the hanging. Sheriff Burns has de
cided to have the execution as near 10
o'clock as possible. Concerning the
case the Fayetteville Observer of yes
terday afternoon says :
The rope, which is suspended from
the roof with the drop down the stair
case, nas been tested with a sandbag
attached, and it was found to work all
right. Council's cell is .attached not
ten feet away fiomtbe place of execu
tion, and, every time the trap is
sprung, he jumps like one shot. On
two previous occasions, he had to go
through this same ordeal, just .previ
ous to eleventh hour respites.
He sent for Deputy Sheriff Mona-
ghan yesterday and requested him to
state through the paper that he did
not desire to see any one but his rela
tives before the day of his death. He
said he had no statement to make, ex
cept that he was innocent, and that
that is all he would say on the gal
lows. Deputy Sheriff Raynor told him this
morning that anything he desired to
eat he could have, no matter what it
was. He replied that he did not jrant
anything at all, and only hoped that
he would die quietly.
Uev. Father Marion snent an nour
with the prisoner this afternoon. He
will baptise him on Saturday morn
ing at 9:30 o'clock.

NEGRO FISHERMAN POISONED.
Drank Nox Vomica From Bottle Offered
Him by an Associate.
Early yesterday morning at the
Front street market house Herbert
Mills, a colored fisherman from Top
sail Sound, was poisoned by swallow
ing nux vomica from a bottle offered
him by a colored associate, Muncey
Pearce, who made it appear to Mills
that the bottle contained whiskey.
After taking one or two swallows from
tne bottle. Mills became weak and fell
upon the sidewalk. Officer B. R.
King, who was on duty at the market,
found the negro helpless on the side
walk and laid him in a cart in which
he had driven to town with the Pearce
negro. Dr. F. H. Russell was summon
ed and upon his arrival the negro was
taken to the City Hospital, where he
was given an antidote. He recovered in
three or four hours.
The Pearce negro was arrested by
Officer King and placed in the station
house pending an investigation.- He
tells conflicting stories of how he came
into possession of the liquid and ad
mits that he could not drink it because
it was bitter. The flask was labelled
"Nux Vomica."

SENSATIONAL ARREST
Former Manager of Ludden &
Bates' Music House Taken
Jnto Custody.
BROUGHT FROM GEORGETOWN
Mr. N. L. Smith Charged With Embezzle
mentFriends Claim His Entire in
nocence and His Action for
Personal Protection.
On a warrant charging embezzle
ment, Mr. N. L. Smith, formerly
manager of the Ludden & Bates South
ern Music House in this city, was
brought to Wilmington yesterday
from Georgetown, S. C, where he
has been conducting a music store
since leaving here a few month since.
He was arrested in Georgetown by
Constable Wm. Sheehan, who went
for the prisoner after requisition pa
pers had been properly signed and
honored by the Governor of South
Carolina. Mr. 8mith, in charge of the
officer, reached Wilmington at 1:45
o'clock yesterday afternoon and is
confined in jail pendiDg a preliminary
examination before Justice Jno. J.
Fowler this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Bond-was fixed at $2,000, but as yet
has not been given by Mr. Smith.
The warrant is sworn out by the
Ludden & Bates Company through its
Wilmington manager and the amount
of alleged embezzlement as stated by
L. V. Grady, Esq., attorney for the
prosecution is $1,430 47. Mr. Smith
came to Wilmington Jan. 1, 1901, and
opened a branch store for the company
on Market street He remained in con
trol until July 18th, 1901, and during
this time it is alleged that he unlaw
fully retained the amount of money
named. The warrant was sworn out
before Justice Fpwler several weeks
ago and upon application, through
Solicitor Duffy, a requisition was pro
cured from Governor Aycock, and
Constable Sheehan waa appointed to
go to Georgetown for Smith, which he
did.
Upon his arrival in Wilmington Mr.
Smith secured the services of Bellamy
& Pescb.au and Judge E. K. Bryan to
defend him, and a number of his
friends here are confident that he will
prove himself blameless in the trans
action, which is a very complicated
one.
Those who claim to understand the
case fully do not regard Mr. Smith
guilty of any wrong" dealing inten
tionally or otherwise. It is claimed
that the company owed him over
$2,000 in contingent commissions,
L e., commissions to accrue in the
course of a year or a little more. He
collected and retained nearly half of
this amount out of funds paid to Lud
den & Bates through him, and in do
ing so he claims to have followed a
precedent of long standing. His
friends further state that his course
was largely due to the fact that at
that time Ludden & Bates were in
volved in a law suit and he, not know
ing the outcome, desired to protect
himself. In Georgetown he wss ar
rested and brought to Wilmington be
fore he had time to arrange bond with
his New York friends, but it is be
lieved that this will be done this morn
ing and he will be liberated from cus
tody. His friends regard it as an exceed
ingly unfortunate affair and express
themselves of the opinion that the dif
ferences between the two parties to the
controversy are more.of a civil than of
a criminal character.
It is understood that L. V. Grady,
Esq., has associated with himself in
the prosecution, Herbert McClammy,
Esq.
A Wilmington Photographer.

Philadelphia Parties Have Grant to Large
Area in Adjoining County,
According to the Southport Stand
ard Messrs. Herbert Lex, W. S.
Samuels, Jr., and Howard Samuels,
of Philadelphia, are in Brunswick
county to look after the interests of
certain Philadelphia parties who hold
State grants under date of 1792 and
1795 to David Allison for about 40,-
000 acres of land bounded by the Cape
Fear and Lockwood's Folly rivers and
the Mill Creek settlement, and sea-
coast Tbe grants appear from the
records in the office of the Register of
Deeds of Brunswick, and the Phila
delphia parties have engaged Mr. J. EL
Mintz, of Shallotte, to survey it for
them. The lands were sold to the
Philadelphia gentlemen in 1897 by B.
F. Fisher, Esq., of Philadelphia,
trustee.
Some consternation has appeared
among the people inhabiting the land,
as may be gathered from the following
from the Standard: 1
In the century and over, since the
grants were issued, no known evi
dences of ownership have been exer
cised under these grants; and it is
well known that lands within this area
have been entered by citizens, who,
in good faith, have exercised evi
dences of ownership after securing
State grants, have held the property,
paid taxes on the same, and, in num
erous instances, have reared families,
and even grandchildren on it; and
perhaps great grandchildren now hold
some of the same property, which has
regularly made descent from genera
tion to generation. These well known
facts make it highly improbable that
but very little of the land can now be
reclaimed by the Philadelphia parties
under our existing State laws.
Messrs. Rountree & Carr, of Wil
mington, are attorneys for the Phila
delphia people.
