Olivel say a, that four years ago he ; landed at New Orleans as an evange list, local preacher and teacher of the Pennite" faith to which he was con verted in his South African home and which he desires very much to eatab Iish among the ; colored people . of America. He came here from South , Carolina last week, he said, as he learned North Carolinians were more aosceptible to adoption of "a new faith" than the 8ouih Carolinians. One of the principles of his belief is that marriage is a sin, and a luxury only to be enjoyed by the wealthy. He spoke as if a poor man had no right to take unto him self a "better half," as these two per sons would suffer, - He said that his health was now broken down, but after returning from the hospital he would do some mis sionary work.

TflAT INJUNCTION. Restraining Crder Served Upon Board of Aldermen, Lively Topic of Discussion. COMPLAINT IN THE CASP. Served Yesterday On yer Wadell.U Gives laUrestlsx Review ef the Mat tcr City EapUys Aidldesal Cosasel Maay Ramon. The injunction foisted upon the Board of Aldermen If onday night by the Sewerage Company was the most engaging topic of conversation on the streets yesterday. It came upon an unsuspecting pub- lie with much the same thunder-clap surpr sa did upon the City Coun- 1 a a - mi; twelve nours before and manv were the rumors regarding retaliatory steps upon the part of the Board. None of these, however, took definite sbapa bftfore night, but interesting develop- menta are expected to day. Judge Allen ia atOoldaboro holding Superior Court and it ia believed that to-day some citizen will sacrifice his personal feelings to the extent of suing out . an ib junction against the aewerage people restraining them from making further excavations. which can be legally done according to best ad rices. It is also likely that in the event it is decided not to enjoin the Sewerage Company that Judre Allen will be asked to dissolve the in junction, which may be done for cause and after both sides are given a hear ing. It is understood that an informal meeting of the Board of Audit and Finance was held yesterday for the purpose of reviewing the aituation. The result of that meeting and numer ous ones on the part of the "majority Board of Aldermen" waa the associa tion with City Attorney Bellamy of aiestrs. Junius Davis and Maraden Bel lamy to look after the city's interest in the matter. A pretty accurate history of the sewerage controversy is contained in the complaint aworn to by President W. E. Worth in the injunction and served upon the msy or yesterday : Section 1 of the complaint alleges that the plaintiff ia a corporation duly existing under the laws of North Carolina; Section 2, that A. If. Wad dell and members of the Board of Aldermen are the duly elected and qualified officers of the city. - Section 8 is as follows: "That by virtue of the act of the General Aasembly, ratified March 6 in. 1893 .incorporating the Wilmington (Sewerage Co., this plaintiff waa given the right and power to establiab a sewerage system in, through and un der the streets and public lanea. roads snd alieya 01 the city or. w imington, and to that end is given the power to lav all such necessary pipes, conduits and mains under and through the public streets, lanes and alleys of the c ty or Wilmington ss msy oe deemed necessary and requisite for the establishment of a complete system of aewerage in the city of Wilmington and that in accordance with the powers granted to this plainVff by its charter, it has from time to time been engsged in and is now engaged in constructing a complete system of aewerage in the city of Wilmington by laying the ne cessary pipes, mains and conduits under and tnrougn tne streets 01 w u-mina-ton. and that in order to lay the said pipes, mains and conduits, it is necessary tor tola defendant to mass excavations along the aides of the streets snd across the intersections of the streets of the city. "Section 4 That In laying the said pipes and mains and making excava tions lor mat purpose piainun nas at all times kept the streets of the city of Wilmington open lor ingress ano egress of all persons passing through and over said streeta on toot or wiin vehicles; snd in excavating across the intersections of the various streets. plaintiff haa at all times kept one side or tne said street open for the passage of vehicles and passengers, snd haa at all times complied with all reason able and lawful rules, regulations and ordinances that msy have been estab lished dt the City of Wilmington in reanect to dif arinar and making exca vationa in and through the public ttmet of the Oitv of Wilmington.

It is apparent thst many of thestreeta of the city of WiK mington on which excavations have reeeatly been msde ro now in a dangerous condition, and in many places where said excavations have been covered the filling up of said ex ca rations haa failed utterly to restore said streets to their former condition; and, whereas, it is particularly msni f est since the recent heavy rains thst She so-called restoration of the streets is inefficient, superficial and totally inadequate; therefore, 'Be it ordained by the Board of Al dermen that the Mayor la hereby in atrueted to atop further excavationa until all the ordinances passed by this Board regarding excavation .and re storation of streets are fully complied wltn.' And the plaintiff ia informed and believea that the aaid defendants con stituting the Board of Aldermen, in tend to pass said resolution and make it effective from and after its next meeting and thst if the said ordinance is passed, the Mayor will obey said or dinance, and will stop this plaintiff, its agents, servants and contractors from in any way digging or making excavationa in the atreets for the pur pose 01 isying its system.

"Section 10 That unleaa the de fendants are restrained from the pass age of the aaid resolution, this plain tiff will be by the Mayor stopped from going ahead with tne construction or its system of sewersge, as it has a right to do, regardless of the fact whether this plaintiff is in defsult or not, snd this plsintiff is informed and believea that the said resolution ia passed, not in good faith, but for the purpose of harassing and annoying plaintiff, and for the purpose of pre venting this plsintiff from establish ing its system of sewerage, as It haa a right to do, under ita charter, and the plaintiff ia Informed and believe that the defendants, constituting the Board of Aldermen, have no right, power or authority to pass any such resolution or ordinsnce; thst the effect of the passsge of said resolution will be to compel this plaintiff to keep in repair practically every street in the city for the term of one year from and after any excavations hsve been msde therein by them; and that nnlessthe defendanta are restrained. this plaintiff will be compelled to atop ita work for the term of 12 moatha and ita money to lay idle and ita sys tem of aewerage, which is incomplete at the present time, will be impara bly injured ; that the bonds of this plaintiff which have been issued are coupon bands and are bearing interest, and unless this plsintiff is allowed to proceed with ita work and complete ita ayatem the interest on aaid bands will mature before it can complete its system and begin to derive revenue from it system of sewerage and wui cause this piainun to nave to maze default upon the payment of th In terest on said boida. thereby giving theriehtto bondholders to foreclose the mortgage upon its property, anu ill cause this plain tin to lose its en tire plant and svstem under a foreclosure sale, all because of the wrongful and illegal conduct of these defendanta wnererore tne plain tiff nrava judgment: (1) That the defendants, their agents and servsnts and all of the officials or tne city ano all other persons be enjoined and re strained from in any manner inter ferring with thia plaintiff in the prog ress of said work in laying aaid ays- tern of sewerage until the further orders of thia court (2) For the cost of this action.
