Lucas, in charge of the United States Engineer Corps, this city, will have the supervision of the work of the se werage contractors and all exca vations and restoration of streets must have his approval. The difficulties that existed between the Aldermen and the Sewerage Company have been adjusted and the work of constructing the system of sewerage will now go on without interference rjf the city fathers, provided the agreement is lived up to, and the litigation exist ing between them will be rectified without delay. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Waddell, and the following aldermen were in attendance: Messrs. Mann, Spencer, Skinner, VonGlahn, Sweeney, Maunder, Johnson and Harriss. ' At the meeting were also City Attorney Bellamy and special Attorneys Junius Davis and Mar&den Bellamy, who were employed by the Audit and Finance Board to look after the city's interests in the trou ble. Clerk King was asked to read an agreement which was offered by the Wilmington Sewerage Company. By said agreement the Wilmington Sewerage Company is held and firmly bound unto the city of Wilmington In the sum of $15,000. Tbe condition of the obligation is sneh that the Sewer age Company will be required to re store and repair to as good condition as before, the streets that have been excavated or dug up by said company Without tearing up and rebuilding each entire street; that the injunction issued restraining the Board of Alder men from passing at y ordinance re tarding the company in its work shall not ba construed to prevent the said Board from enforcing any of the ordi nances of the city already passed, and which are now in force, save such or dinances as require the work of exca vation and restoration to be done un der the supervision of the superintend ent of streets and require such rt stora tion to be done in Jess thsn 60 dsys and riq jire said company to maintain said streets for 12 months after such restoration ; that the bond shall be exe cuted with good and sufficient sure ties, to be approved by the Board of Audit and Finance, conditioned that tbe company shall restore all portions of the streets heretofore exca vated and all streets that may bs excarated to as good condition and order as tbe said streets were in before tbey were dug up, and shall also re pair and -restore all cisterns, which may have been or may hereafter be in any way : damaged by the company, within the space of 60 days from the date of tbe digging; that the Sewerage Company shall indemnify the city of Wilmington for damages arising from the laying of the sewerage system whether prior to or after this date pro vided such cause of action arises prior to the date of the certificate herein after provided for; that the restoration of aaid streets and cisterns, both that have been and shall be excavated and damaged, shall be made and done un der the supervision and direction of E. W. VanO. Lucas, who is selected and agreed upon as a fit and compet ent person for such purpose; that the decision of CapL Lucas, as to whether or not the said streets or cis terns have been restored to as good condition as they were in before they were excavated and damaged, as is possible without tearing up and relay ing and building each entire street, shall be final and binding upon the Sewerage Company; that the-full com pensation of Cspt Lucas' services shall be made by the company.' After reading the above agreement, signed by the officers of the Wilming ton Sewerage Company and the Uni ted States Fidelity and Guaranty Com pany, with which the required bond was given, Alderman Johnson Intro duced the following, which was read by Clerk King, and it was adopted by a unanimous vote of the Board; An Ordinance Ratifying and Approv ing tbe Draft of the Bond Between the City of Wilmington and the Wil mington Sewerage Company.

Qrest Saccess The forty-sixth anniversary ball of the Howard Belief Company, one of Wilmington's oldest and most popular organisations, was given last night at Germsnia Hall under the most au spicious circumstances and the festive occasion passed off most pleasantly for every membsr of the very large party present The ball waa one of the most delightful and successful ever given by the company and long will it be remembered for the pleasures afforded. The Howard Belief Company is probably tte oldest fire organisation in the State, and although its active ser vice in protecting the city against fire ceased when the volunteer dcpirt ment was replaced by the paid' de partment, the paat noble and heroic deeds of the organisa tion are fondly cherished by the members and they take great pride in keeping the company together and in keeping fresh in their hearts the mem ory of those deeds performed in the past. The dance last night was participa ted in by at least fif y couples. Mr. O. F. VooKampen acquitted himself most admirably as floor manager. At mid night the merry dancers were invited into the banquet hall where a most sumptuous repast was "served by Mrs. P. N. Fick. After supper the German was danced. It was led by Mr. John Dosher. The hall was prettily decorated and everything was arranged with the greatest possible taste. The arrangement committee was composed of Messrs. M. S. Tienken, chairman; G. F. Von Kampen, J. W. H. Fuchs, H.Gieschen and P. N. Fick, and to them is due great praise for the success of this anniversary celebration. The officers of the company are: President, Martin Botbjen; Vice Presi dent, Jake Duls; Secretary and Treas urer, J. G. L. Gfesehen; Foreman, Martin Schnibben ; 1st Assistant Fore man, H. T.

The battery meets in its armory at the City Hall every Mon day night, and Major Davidson carefully drills the boys. Drills will be held weekly from now until April, and tbe commander says that by that time the battery will be in condition to run up against anything in Charles ton. During the last term of tbe Leg islature the State appropriated 110,000 for tbe equipment of tbe battery.

Bosrd Met Yeslerdsy aad Decided to la stall Oss la BalMIag aad Kerosene . Lasint Wul be Sshstltated by Electricity The Qroaads. The regular monthly meeeting of the Board of Managers of the James Wal ker Memorial Hospital was held yes terday at the hospital. Toe report or Dr. Thos. B. Little, physician, in charge of the institution, was approved Other reports, routine in nature, were adopted. The Wilmington Gas Light Compa ny will extend a nuin . from Fourth and Bed Crosastretti to the hospital and the new building will be supplied with lights. This will give the hos pital gas as well as electric lights, the latter having already been installed. The Gas Company will begin the work of laying the new main at once. The extension of the gas pipes will give property owners on that section of Bed Cross street an opportunity of tapping the main, which will be a four inch pipe and amply sufficient for other connections. The old hospital building will be supplied with electric lights. They will replace the kerosene lamps which have heretofore been in use. This will be a great .convenience and will be a much welcomed addition. The lights will be put in without delay. When the gas has been installed in tbe new building and the electric lights in the old building, the entire institution will have the best possible light facilities. Three-fourths of the furniture re cently ordered for the new hospital has arrived and been placed in posi tion The greater part of the equip ment yet to arrive is now on the road. All tbe orders could not be filled at once, hence the slight delay. A mem ber of the Board of Managers said to; day that the building would soon be completed and ready for occupancy and as soon as all the furniture is in stalled they will move into the mag nificent new hospital. A fence has been built diagonally across the grounds in front of the hos pital, extending from Bed Cross to Ninth streets. This will make the. in stitution much more private and will cut off a great deal of the back view which is not so attractive. The grounds in front will be laid off and planted in grass and will make a very pretty lawn. No pains will be spared to make the hospital ground as handsome and attractive as possible. The Board of Managers are taking the greatest in terest in the institution and it will be made second to none in the South, FUNERAL YESIERDlY AFTERNOON, Remains of Mrs. Ellzsbctb Davis Tea- derly Laid to Rest la Oakdsle.
