Another case of importance that will come up at once, perhaps to.day, is that of Mr. N. L. Smith charged with embezzlement by tjxe Luddea & Bates Company. The ease was called in Justice Fowler's court yesterday after noon, but word came from the Court House that a true bill had been found by the grand jury there, hence there was no need of a preliminary hearing in the Justice's court. Two officers of the Ludden & Bates fir m arrived yester day from New Haven to testify for the prosecution and Mr. Jaspersen Smith, a broth er of the defendant and at one time secretary and treasurer, of the Ludden & Bates Company, arrived to testify for the defendant.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Large Number of Unimportant and Routine Items of Business Transacted Cor rections Made In Tax Lists. Yesterday afternoon at tbe regular monthly meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, upon which all members were in attendance, an avalanche of routine and unimportant business was transacted. Eugene S. Martin, Esq., attorney for Wilmington Underwriters' Insurance Co., addressed the board in regard to the collection of certain back taxes on insurance companies, considera tion of which has been pending by the Board for some time. It was at length decided to refer the matter as to construction of the revenue act touching the same to the State Tax Commission. Capt Donald MacRae asked for a re duction of the tax valuation on the "MacRae building" on Front street, the same being assessed at 114,000. Nonaction was taken by the Board. Among the unimportant items were the approval of the liquor license of J. E. Hinnant, Princess street; ex emption of Ed. Moseley, colored and insane, from poll tax; failure to ex empt from poll tax J. L. Wilkins and E. A. Chad wick, white, of Wilming ton township; correction of error of $1,000 in taxable income of Dr. J. E. Matthews; permission to E. N. Edens to remove his bar from the "Wright place" to the store lately occupied by Paul Caase at Wrightsville Sound; allowance of a continuation of the monthly allowance of Josh Garrell, of Masonboro township; instruction to tbe chairman to call for bids for re placing county rail fence with wire; erasure from the tax books of certain stock in the Greensboro Loan and Trust Co., listed through error by M.

Harriss and J. M. McGowan. Messrs. Vollers and Montgomery were appointed to investigate the ap plication of the New Hanover Land and Improvement Company for a re duction in the tax valuation of prop erty at Castle Haynes. The report of Dr. W. D. McMillan, superintendent of health, was read and approved. It covers the months of September and October, and shows the county to be in excellent condi tion from a sanitary point of view.

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. HYDRAULIC BRICK COMPANY. Organization Effected Saturday Night and General Manager Gone North to Pur chase Machinery for Plant. It was noted in these columns a few days ago that the Hydraulic White Brick Company, of this city, had been chartered by the Secretary of State. The charter has been re ceived by the company, and Saturday night an organization was effected by the election of the following officers: President D. C. Love. Vice President and General Man ager Andrew Smith. Secretary and Treasurer Roger Moore. Directors Andrew Smith, J. G. L, Gieschen, H. E. Bonitz, M. W. Jacobi, Roger Moore, D. O. Love and J. A. Springer. It is learned that work will be com menced very shortly on the factory site; near the 8. A. L. depot. Mr. H. Huennekes, of Germany, owner of the brick patent, has been in Wil mington for several days conferring with members of the local company and left last night, in company with Mr. Smith, for Richmond, Va., and Northern cities, where they will pur chase an outfit of machinery, which will be installed during December. Officers of the company expect to have the factory in operation by Jan uary 1st Funeral Yesterday Morning. At 11 o'clock yesterday morning in St. James' Episcopal church the order for the burial of the dead was impres sively Baid by the Rev. Frederick H. T. Jlorsfield over the remains of the late Beverly Tucker French, whose death was announced in these columns Sunday. The interment was in Oak- dale cemetery, the following having acted as pall bearers: Honorary, Messrs. B. F. Hall, Samuel Northrop, Capt. Wm. Stevenson and Col. John D. Taylor; active, Messrs. S. P. Col lier, L. B. Sasser, H. M. Foard, J. D. Smith, Col. Walker Taylor and Capt. L.;S. Belden Real Estate Transfers. Deeds were recorded yesterday transferring from F. A, Montgomery and wife to W. J.

George H. Rogers and wife to Paul Caase, lot on Wrightsville Sound, on south side of the Turnpike road adjoining the lands of Giles Weatbrook -and containing about one acre; consideration, $200. 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. Owen Quince, a negro despera do, was sent to the county roads for thirty days yesterday for resisting Po liceman Leon George Saturday night. Friends will learn with sincere regret of the death of the infant child of Capt. and Mrs. H. O. Mc Arthur. Its death occurred yesterday morning. A new tower car has been ad ded to the equipment of the Wilming ton Street Railway Company. It was designed by General Manager Skeld ing and constructed by W. B. ' Sav age, chief electrician. . The Interdenominational Min isterial Association met yester&ay morning and the committee on consti tution and by-laws reported pi ogress. Those present were Dr. C. S. Black well, Dr. A. G.
