Special Meeting of City Council Last Nlxbi Maay Substitutes aad Amendments Offered. With more talk over technicalities, further airing of individual prefer ences, and a general discussion or various aspects of the case, the Board. of Aldermen last night adopted the or dinance permitting the Southern Bell Telephone Company to place its wires under ground along the principal thoroughfares of the city. The ordi nance is carefully worded and throws every possible safeguard around the city's Interests and provides that the police and fire alarm wires shall be allowed places in ,the conduits and where the . wires are not under ground, they will have places free of cost on the poles of the company. The meeting was. called to order at 8:30 o'clock, and there were , present Mayor Waddell, City Attorney Bel- amy and all members of the Board except Messrs. Spencer and Bailey. The motion' to adopt the ordinance was unanimous, all members having voted in the affirmative ; except Mr. Johnson, who preferred not to vote at all. Mr. Sweeney, chairman of the Ordi nance Committee, presented the meas ure and after an opinion from the City Attorney that it was in due form, a dis cussion followed. Maraden Bellamy, Esq., counsel for the Bell Ca, was heard, as waa also Mr. Hanna, of the construction department, and Mr.T. 8. McManua, local manager of the com pany. Mr. YonGlahn took the position that the city should not ask the Bell Co, to provide for its fire and police alarm wires; that the municipality could ill afford to be under obligations to aay corporation, or, in other words, that the ordinance should hare the very east semblance of a contract with the company. He moved to s truce out that section pertaining to the provision for the city's wires, and the same was seconded by Mr. MurrelL Mr. John son renewed his motion to defer action until regulations governing such mat ters could be secured from other cities, but the motion did not meet , with a second. He asked to go on record on the question. Mr. Tiencken discussed the matter of the cost of the change of the fire alarm system and suggested that the Board of Audit and Finance would likely have to pass upon any financial feature of the case. Mr. MeManus said he thought the purpose of the company was to put the wires under ground on Water and Nntt streets; Front, from Bed Croas to Nun; Princess, from Water - to Sixth, or Seventh and cross sections where the lines are heavy. Ultimately the underground, system would ex tend all over the city. Question was called and Mr. Von- Glahn's substitute, striking out the provision for fire and police wires, was lost. An amendment by Mr. Cooper, as to the number of wires space in the conduit should be given for, waa like wise lost, Mr. Johnson' and Mr. Cooper alone voting for the same. The proposition to adopt was then submitted and was carried, after which an adjournment waa taken. J. H. CHADB0URN PRESIDENT. He Succeeds Mr. C. W.

The necessary machinery for boring the battery of deep water wells from which the Clarendon Water Works Co. proposes to furnish the system in Wilmington arrived Monday night and Engineer Jno. H. Sweeney was busy yesterday getting it in place for begining work.

Herein is chronicled, or rather re-chronicled defeat for the locals. The Jonah was again ours and the Hor nets, of course, knew well how to take advantage of it And just to think we opened up" with four runs, but it was a good beginning with a bad, very bad ending. Collectively lightning strikes our team in the same place defeat but individually it darts hither and thither, consequently it is to say the least mystifying. Yesterday afternoon it struck Dunn, the young southpaw, and so dazzled him that he could neither locate the plate or focus his wits. To his door alone, almost should be placed the defeat;; for save a j very "punke? error by Dommel at first and one of corresponding descrip tion by Laltin at short the team gave him almost perfect support while their batting ability far over-reached that of their opponents. The excep tion to Dunn's twirling, responsible for defeat was our very prevalent quantity of poor headwork and our j proclivity for running bases, either in the dark or as if the light hurt our j eyes. In the first two Innings Dunn pitched great ball, retiring the Hor nets in one, two, three order, save for a single by Ashenback. Oar first was productive of four runs and likewise productive of great hope and much : "rooting." Brown, Dommel and Lattin each obtained a two-baesrer. which combined with a pass to Mathi- son and an error by Person chalked up the four. In the third Dunn de veloped very unpleasant and' heart rending symptoms of the dreaded at tack of wildness which in the fourth nning served the game up on a silver salver. With two men out he passed two . men to first and yielded up to "Red" Armstrong a two-bagger. Then came the fourth, "when everybody walked." Brouthers got --a pass and went to second, while Dommel was asleep at the switch. Ashenback also got a pass and Hempleman obtained a scratch hit Thus were the bases fall with only Dunn two-thirds and Dommel one-third to blame, , Lehman waited patiently and got his looked for pass, which forced Brouthers in. Parson, next up, hit to second forcing dare" Ash out at the plate, i Follow ing the order of things Cooper got a pass and Hempleman , came home. Next Weaver goes out third to first while Lehman scores. Then, "Red" Armstrong again bobbed up serenely and singled to right, scoring Person and Cooper. Osteon ended the agony by flying out to catcher. -Total runs for this, Charlotte's inning and Wil mington's outing, five. This ended the Hornets' run-making- until the ninth when with two men out and a man on third, Dunn had a relapse and with second and third bags cover ed, allowed Weaver to score the tie breaking, winning run on a wild pitch to the batsman, which struck the plate and bounded over the fence. After obtaining four runs in the first Wilmington rested from its la bors until the fifth. Then ona pass to Mathison, a sacrifice .by Brandt and a single by Lattin, the Giants crawled up a peg. The next inning, the sixth, they tied the score and likewise .put Eddie Person out of the business. Brown singled to left, Hutton fanned, McGinnis singled to lef tDom- mel went out short ! to first, while Brown scored. Then Mathison sin gled and McGinnis scored. Brandt retired the aide with an out from box to first l : . li The ninth was the time to do or die. and for lack of a ooaeher on third-base line, the Giants died. ' Here waa the chance, the last ray of hope. Bishop. who waa substituted for Person at the befirinninflr of the seventh inning. fanned DommeL but hit Mathison. Brandt flew out to left Fisher made a beautiful slnaie to right which would have scored Mathison, but "no coach" at third lost the run and in nil probability the game, as Mathi son struck like glue to that cushion. That's all, but decidedly enough. Here are the "tabs":! !

Twelve hits for Wilmington and six for Charlotte, and yet beaten by one run. ! The horse editor is making no predictions; but he'll , be there if the creek don't rise. Little Lattin made but one error, but this was more than counterbal anced by two hits. The Wilmington boys meant nothing Person al by knocking the Hornet pitcher out of the coop.. With one exception every man on the home team made a hit Brown made three out of four times up. Why did not somebody coach our runner on third base! Had he known where the ball was he could have easily gone home. ; "Tis thus with all things earth ly, and all things we have cherished. 'Tis thus our joys are blasted, and all our hopes are perished." Dunn did some fine pitching, but he lost control of the ball, giving too many bases on balls, and thua losing the game, j Manager Bear has gone to work to strengthen the team. Boucher and Handibou, j recomended by Umpire Mace, have been telegraphed to come from Washington and an effort is be ing made to get Venable who was last year with Raleigh. Fisher will likely be made captain of tbe reorganized team. j DROWNED NEAR ROCKS. MlracoIoaslyE8caped Watery Urave Satur day, Small Boy Drowsed Yesterdsy. Johnnie M. Btubbs, the 11-year-old son of Mr. ! David Stubbs, watchman at Norlhrop's mill, whose miraculous escape and rescue from drowning last Saturday at foot of Wright street was told in these columns Sunday, was drowned yesterday noon near the Rocks," down the river. It appears that fate had decreed that the boy should die in that manner. After the resuscitation on Saturday, his mother, who is now almost dis tracted with grief at the home of Mr. W. EL H. Todd, in the southern sec tion of the city, left with her son on Mr. Andrew McDougald's sharpie Leo for a trip down to the "Rocks." They arrived there safely, and yesterday after having fished for some time off the "Rocks," got into a small boat and started to row to the shafpie, which was anchored about 150 yards off the shore. In the boat were mother and son and her rela tives Amos Matthia and George and June Harker. They had proceeded but a little way when the small boat swamped i and the boy quickly drowned.! Mrs. Stubbs was rescued with great difficulty by Messrs. Rowan Green and E. EL Freeman, who were in another boat some distance off. The men swam to the sharpie. . Messrs. W. EL EL Todd, Archie Bryan, Andrew McDougald, the father of the boy and others chartered a tug last night and went in search of the body of the bay. NENRO MURDERER IN COURT.
