taxed with the cost in the several
cases: Owen Burruss, assault and bat
tery with deadly weapon; Joe Drew,
affray and assault with deadly
weapon; Isaac Nixon, assault with
deadly weapon; Susan Royall, assault

day from New Haven to testify for the
prosecution and Mr. Jaspersen Smith,
a broth er of the defendant and at one

TBE CITY COUNCIL.
Regular Meeting for November
Last Night Was a Very
, Lengthy One.
ACTION OF CAUCUS CONFIRMED
Multitude of Matters of More or Less Mo
ment Were Considered Police Will
be Provided With Firearms.
Progress of Street Work.
The City Council was in session last
night from 8 to 12 o'clock and during
those four hours it transacted a vast
deal of business, none of it, however,
of very general importance. Mayor
Waddell presided and, singular to say,
every member was in his seat.
The action of Friday night's caucus
in the election of Mr. John H.Sweeney
as a member from the Second ward to
succeed the late H. P. West, which has
been previously reported in these col
umns, was confirmed unanimously
and after taking the oath, administered
by Mayor Waddell, Mr. Sweeney took
his seat amid 'the congratulation of
members.
Committee reports were then called
and a multitude of minor matters acted
upon.
The contract for the steet (tower for
the Fourth street fire alarm bell was
let to S. J Haywood & Co., at $140. f
A request for an electric light at Mar
ket street M. E. church, Ninth between
Market and Princess streets, was re
ferred to the Light Committee.
On motion of Alderman Bailey the
salary of the assistant at the Front
street market house was increased
from $10 to $20 per month.
Alderman Parker moved a repeal of
the ordinance requiring bar-rooms to
close at midnight. The motion was
lost, Messrs. Maunder, Sweeney and
Parker alone voting aye. Alderman
Harriss moved a substitute, which was
finally carried, and is to the effect that
where food is served at bar-rooms and
ordered before 12 o'clock persons may
remain in the bar to eat the same until
1 A. M. This motion was first lost, but
was taken up again and carried with
the remain der of the ordinance requir
ing the closing at midnight.
Alderman Harriss moved that a
committee of three be appointed to in
vestigate the merits of the "sanitary
plumbing ordinance, "offered by him at
the last meeting and referred to each
individul member for his personal ex
amination. Alderman VonGlahn
offered a substitute to "table," and thel
substitute was carried.
J. G. Carney was elected to the posi
tion of third sub-policeman.
Mayor Waddell's very comprehen
sive report on the progress of the
street work evoked a long discussion
as to which streets should be im
proved after Princess, each Alderman
advocating his particular idea of where
the work is needed most urgently.
Orange street was warmly advocated
by Mr. Bailey ; Fifth between Church
and Castle and Castle between Fourth
and Seventh by Messrs. Parker and
Mann, and Red Cross by Mr. Von
Glahn. A motion at length prevailed
deferring specific instructions to the
committee of which Mayor Waddell is
chairman.
Mr. Bailey asked, since it appeared
impossible for the Board to define its
duties, that the standing committee
on the much mooted question of sew
erage be dismissed. A motion re
stilted in a discharge of the commit
tee, the vote being unanimous with
the exception of Mr. Skinner.
Mr. Johnson called attention to the
condition of Chesnut between Ninth
and Tenth streets.
Mr. Bailey moved to go into the
election of a Mayor pro tern, and the
result was a unanimous election of Mr.
VonGlahn. This was iu confirmation
of the action of Friday night's caucus.
The nomination was by Mr. Johnson
with second by Mr. Bailey. The Mayor
congratulated Mr. VonGlahn upon his
election.
Mayor Waddell called attention to
the unarmed condition of the police.
Bids were read from several hardware
houses offering to furnish Smith &
Wesson revolvers, blue steel, five inch
barrels and guaranteed.The committee
asked for an appropriation for 25 of
the weapons and it was at length car
ried, each policeman to be charged
with the pistol upon receipt and the
cost ef same to be taken out of his sal
ary when he retires from the force un-.
less the weapon is returned. Alder
man Johnson favored having the po
licemen pay for the pistols in 90 days
or more with the condition .that the
city would buy them when policemen
desired to leave the force or were dis
missed. The former arrangement
was, however, adopted.
Mayor Waddell called attention to
the incrense incumber of bills sent
to chairmen of different committees
with request by merchants that the
same be collected from city employes
in the different departments. The
Mayor stated that this branch of work
had well nigh assumed the propor
tions of a bill collecting agency, and
that there were a number of cases
where, misfortune had overtaken an
employe and it was impossible for them
to nay a bill. A dismissal from the
force, according to police regulations,
would work a great hardship on many
of them. Alderman Harriss advanced
the idea that the matter of dismissal
was discretionary with the chairmen,
and he presumed none of them would
be dismissed without investigation.
Alderman Spencer advocated the idea
of allowing no employe to draw sal
ary during the month. No action
was taken in regard to the matter, it
beingthe concensus of opinion that
the matter of dismissal was entirely
in the hands of the chairmen.
Mayor Waddell called attention to
discovery made a short time ago that
the private acts of the Legislature made
it mandatory for the Aldermen to sub
mit to a vote of the people the new
City charter drawn last year by former
City Attorney Iredell Meares and
about which there was such a contro
versy during the late city campaign.
The act does not provide when the
election shall be called but makes it
imperative upon the Aldermen to call
it at some time.
The City Attorney expressed himself
as favorable to its passage as also did
Alderman Johnson, who favored
calling the election at once to be held
on the second Tuesday in January.
Alderman Bailey thought members
should have time to inform themselves
of the measure and offered a substitute
postponing action until next meeting.
The substitute was carried.
A communication was read from
former City Attorney Meares support
ing his position in regard to a contro
versy over some $600 commissions in
his back tax collections. Tbe Board
asked Mr. Meares in a former commu
nication to turn over all funds col
lected and then secure his commis
sions afterwards. Mr. Meares declined
to do so and claimed a harmony of his
action and his contract with the city.
The Mayor explained that Mr. Meares
had reserved the regular commissions,
amounting to about $600, on judg
ments obtained and not collected.
while the city understood that the
regular per cent, was to be allowed
only on cash collections. The Finance
Committee had previously recom
mended half commissions on judg
ments and these were thought ample.
After much discussion City Attorney
Bellamy was instructed to proceed
against Mr, Meares to secure a settle
ment according to the understanding
of tbe Aldermen in the matter.
J. D. Steljes was granted license to
retail liquor at Tenth and Market
streets ; the application at No. 5 North
Front street has been withdrawn.
An error in listing taxes of A. C. L.
was ordered corrected and $16 re
funded. Application of Mr. E. B.
Pleasants for erasure of $500 stock,
twice listed, was referred to the
Finance Committee.
The matter of the payment of fines
imposed in the police' court into the
county school fund, reference to which
has been made in these columns, was
introduced by the reading of a letter
from the County Superintendent. Col.
Waddell said the only point in con
troversy was as to whether the law
required the payment of fines accru
ing from strictly city violations as
opposed to common law or statute
violations, and that he had written a
letter to Attorney General Gilmer
asking for an opinion on the subject
Ool. Waddell said the payment into
the school fund of all the fines would
cripple the city revenue from $3,000
to $3,000 per year.
A communication was read from
the Board of Audit and Finance rela
tive to its recent action upon alder
manic matters, after which the board
adjourned.

JOHN ROBINSON'S.
The "Old Reliable" Shows Were
Here Yesterday for Two
Performances.
GRAND STREET PAGEANT.
Parade Most Creditable and Exhibitions
at Hilton Plessed Two Immense
Crowds, Afternoon and Night.
Menagerie Complete.
" The ordinary observer will agree
with tbe Charlotte Observer that a
great big rlTFroaring, up-to-date circus
once a year is one of the best things
that can come -to. a community. It
gets overworked brains out of ruts
and inspires fresh conversational
topics for months to come.
John Robinson's tried and lime-
honored circus has come and gone
and with it the good wishes of the
many thousands who enjoyed the two
excellent performances that were
given here yesterday. The parade
was undoubtedly the finest circus pro
cession that has been witnessed in. this
city in many years. Kentucky and
John Robinson are famous for their
fine horsps and thousands were on
hand to see the beautiful stock and
the many expensive and originally de
signed wagons. Every one of the
equipages, including horses, (4 to 24
horse teams) harness, and animals
within, represents an investment of
$5,000 .or upwards and as there were
thirty-twp cages in line the value of it
can easily be approximated. ,
The performance began with tne
brilliant spectacle of King Solomon's
temple, whicA would cost a dollar to
see on any stage but is thrown in with
the rest of it for fifty cents.
John Robinson's menagerie is the
most complete collection of animals
travelling to-day and contains, besides
the ordinary lions, etc., 'several speci
mens that are fast becoming extinct
and are well worth going a long ways
to see. His cosmopolitan set of an
telopes is the principal feature of the
exhibit.
The circus performance kept the au
dience in an uproar from start to finish.
The best way to judge the merits of a
circus or any entertainment is by the
effect it has upon the audience. If
they enjoy the circus they have their
money's worth and yesterday's exhi
bition was certainly enjoyed by 99 out
of a hundred who saw it, the odd per
son's opinion goes down on the min
ority side of the sheet.
The performing pigs of Prof. Holder
are absolutely a new feature and never
were seen here before. The six per
forming elephants are fine and taxed
the credulity of one's eyesight. The
riding acts are snappy, well dressed
and difficult. Three somersault riders
turning at once make the place look
as if there was something doing. The
races, for once, are earnestly contested
and are very exciting.
The Robinson circus is a big one,
ranking easily among the three big
American circuses. Two years ago it
was about the same size as several
others exhibiting in the State this sea
son, numbering about 20 cars, 100
horses, 15 cages and four pole canvas,
but when it arrived yesterday morning
the size had been increased to 46 cars,
250 horses, thirty cages and six pole
canvas ; so that now for same admis
sion fee, Mr. Robinson is giving the
people just double what he used to
give.
LOCAL DOTS.
Steamer Mhelaida, hence for
Cork, arrived yesterday at Queens
town. Salisbury's Elk Carnival began
yesterday and will continue until the
9thinsi.
