Loos Drawn Out Session of the
Board o! Aldermen Upon
Two Questions.
THE COMMITTEES NOT READY
America! aid Bell JPraschlses Favored,
Bat a Special Meeting Called for To
nlrit to Tiaally Pass Upon toe
Request of the Latter.
After much parleying and commit
tee work in open council, the Board
of Aldermen last night tackled the
question of telephone franchises, the
net result of the session having been
to give countenance in effect to both
the Telephone Company of America
and the Southern Bell Telephone
Company with such proper safeguards
to the public good as were deemed
necessary. The franchise asked by the
Telephone Company of America, with
amendments accepted by the company.
was granted outright, while the ordin
ance asked for by the Bell Company
had legally to be laid .over until
another special called meeting to be
held to-night.
In opening the meeting last night
Mayor Waddell said he had two writ
ten requests for the called ssssion
one promulgated by the Bell Co. and
one by the American Co., so that
matters pertaining to either -could be
considered. Aldermen present were
Messrs. Murrell, VonGlahn, Cooper,
Hashagen. Johnson, Bailey, Tiencken
and Mann. Mr. Sweeney, chairman j
of the Ordinance Committee, was
detained and did not arrive until
ater.
Mr. Cooper and Mr. Mann, of the
Ordinance Committee, said they re
gretted Mr. Sweeney was not present:
the committee hadhad nominee ting and
they were at a loss to know what to
report.
Mr. Hashagen said that the special
committee composed of Mr. Bailey,
Mr. Cooper and himself to whom the
American petition had been referred,
were ready to report; that he and
Mr. Cooper had a majority report while
Mr. Bailey had a minority report
Marsden Bellamy, Esq., counsel for
the Bell Co., was present, and viewed
the delay his client had experienced
in getting action on its request
simply to be allowed to put its wires
under ground. An engineer was wait
ing the action to come down and pre
pare an estimate of the maVirial need
ed, so that everything could be in
working order by Oct 1st when
ground could be broken.
Mr. Bailey regarded the matter as of
almost as much importance as the
sewerage franchise and recommended
that a competent electrical engineer
be employed to ferret the matter.
Mr. Johnson moved a continuance
of the entire matter until the Board is
informed as to the regulations gov
erning such matters in other cities and
that the question remain in the hands
of the committee until further investi
gation for report at a subsequent meet
ing not later than the first Monday in
June.
Iredell Meares and Robert Ruark,
Esqs., counsel for the American Co.,
urged action upon their proposed
measure. Mr. Tiencken said if the
committees were not ready to report
how much more unprepared are indi
vidual members. He moved to ad
journ, but the motion met wltn no
second. Mr. Mann said the meeting
had been called too hurriedly. Mr.
Cooper said he and Mr. Hashagen
were ready to report on the American
matter and the clerk read the pro
posed ordinance with amendments
thereto, indemnifying the city against
loss, throwing safeguards about the
municipality and providing that the
company give place to the police and
fire alarm wires in its conduits.
Mr. Meares was plied with numer
ous questions regarding the new com
pany and answered them. Messrs.
Murrell. Bailey. VonGlahn and
Tiencken led in the "cross-examination."
,At Mr. VonGlahn's sugges
tion the committee amended its report
making the maximum -toll for mes
sages one cent instead of two. Mr.
Johnson renewed his motion to de
fer. This led Mr. Hashagen to say the
committee had completed its work
and would refuse to act further in the
premises. Mr. VonGlahn then moved
that the report carrying with it the
adoption of the ordinance, be received
and approved. All voted "Aye" on
the question except Messrs. Bailey and
Johnson. Mr. Mann did not vote at
all. It was suggested the adoption
might not be legal, as the ordinance
was introduced and passed the same
night The Board's attention was
called to the fact that the measure had
been before the Board several times
before.
Mr. Sweeney came in at this junc
ture and the Bell 'Phone Committee
got to work. The ordinance
with the same amendments as to the
American proposition was at length
submitted to the Board. Several asked
unanimous action so that the measure,
having not before been introduced,
could be passed upon at once. It was
soon seen that unanimous action could
not be had despite the pleadings of Mr.
T. S. McManus, local manager of the
Bell Co., and Mr. Bellamy, his conn
seL The action of the Chamber of
Commerce was referred to as argument
for its passage and Mr. McManus re
ferred to the excellent service that
would be given. Mr. Johnson favored
an amendment to the effect that it be in'
serted in the ordinance that the compa
ny agrees not to advance present rates
for ten years. Mr.Bellamy said the ques.
tin of rates was fixed by the Corpora
tion Commission and any action along
this line would be superfluous. Mr.
Johnson insisted it could do no harm.
The question was at length called and
all voted "aye" on the passage of the
ordinance except Messrs. Bailey and
Johnson. Mr. Johnson refused to vote
either affirmatively or negatively, and
explained his vote.
In order that the ordinance may be
passed to-night Mr. VonGlahn moved
for an adjourment and it was had after
a special meeting had been called as
desired.
NEGRO MURDERER CAPTURED.
Afterevea Yesrs Mifsni Slaie Will Be
BroagBt Back to North Carolina sad
Tried for His Crime.
Another Wilmington murderer has
been apprehended by Sheriff Burch,
of Florence, S. C. and Chief Furlong
will likely send an officer for him to
day. He is a negro and lias been iden
tified, by one Jim Venie, also colored,
a refugee from the North Carolina
law, who is seeking to ingratiate him
self into the favor of the local au
thorities so that he can come back
here. Only a week ago he caused the
arrest of another murderer in Florence.
The negro now held gives his name as
McCormick.
"McCormick" alias Magnus Blade,
alias John Dixon, as he has been call
ed at different times is wanted for
foully murdering Lee Jones, a respect
able colored man, in his store on north
Fourth street towards Hilton on the
night of June 5th, 1895. The mur
derer is a desperate character and visit
ed the store of Jones about 11 o'clock.
The weapon used was an old army
musket loaded with duck shot and the
murderer stood within a few feet
of his victim when he fired the gun,
literally tearing to pieces the body.
Jones and Blade, as he was known
then, had had. a quarrel the day be
fore about a sum of money. They
were first cousins and employed at
Parsley's mllL As a result of the
first quarrel Jones had Blade arrested
and that brought ou the killing. Blade
was then about 46 years old, was born
at Long Creek, Pender county, and
had served four years in the peniten
tiary for killing another negro near
his home. Immediately after he shot
Jones, he walked away from the place
and was not heard of afterwards until
arrested by Sheriff Burch. Various
posses went out in search of the negro
at the time and the County Commis
sioners offered $100 reward for his ar
rest but without avail until now.
The crime was a jnoit atrocious one
and the community was greatly
stirred up over it at the time. The cor
oner's jury promptly returned a ver
dict placing the responsibility on
Blade and a proclamation of outlawry
was issued by Justices R. H. Bunting
and J. M. McGowan.

From one extreme to the other.
In marked contrast to Saturday's
game came the one yesterday after
noon. Perhaps 'twas that that makes
o ir disappointment more ' keen. It
was a one-sided exhibition, decidedly
so, with our end of the jee-goggle
always up In the air. Perhaps "in the
air" better, describes the character of
ball the Giants served up than any
thing else. But then the best of teams
have their off days, so let us hope yes
terday was ours: for it certainly was
not that of the Hornets, our victori
ous adversaries. They were in the
game from start to finish, giving their
slab artist Bishop, almost perfect sup
port and pounding Brandt the Wil
mington twirler, hard and often.
The Giants could not reciprocate, for
Bishop puzxled them sorely and only
yielded one hit, which was a gift as an
energetic attempt would have saved
even that. Of course, it would have
been impossible to have won with a
ingle hit but better slab work by
Brandt and "cutting out" two ridicu
lous errors by Hutton would have
greatly reduced Charlotte's run get
ting and perhaps put some excitement
n the game.
The first inning opened rather nice
ly, though save for Capt Dommel,
the Giants were decidedly lacking in
ginger, while Ashenback's aggregation
were lively and full of jest It was
one, two. three out except for a pass
presented Armstrong, who was left on
base. Wilmington's half netted noth
ing, as did all her other halves, except
the fourth, when a gracious muff by
Cooper of ;Dommel's fly to left after
two men were out gave the locals
their one, their only run. The visitors
commenced their successful bombard
ment in the second by scoring t wo runs
on three singles, a pass and a man hit
by pitcher. In the third Brandt fanned
three men, which saved a scorer for
two passes and a single by Osteon had.
filled the cushions. The fourth gave
the Hornets two more singles which
chalked up another run. In the fifth
they obtained naught but made up
for it in the sixth and seventh by
getting six runs off four passes, four
singles, two two-baggers and an error
by Hutton. This ended the run getting,
though another single and a pass was
obtained before the end.
Harry Mace umpired the game in his
usual perfect style.
This afternoon the young southpaw
Dunn will be in the box. There's no
consolation in these figures but you
get the idea of how It was done, and
here they are:
