AN EX-SALOON FOR A CBUKCS.
Novel Method Arreed Upos for Breakiox
Up Disreputable Locality.
Carrying out a determination to
break up the disreputable locality
known as "Fourth and Castle streets,"
the building known as the "Klondike
saloon," in the midst of the settlement,
has been rented and will be converted
into a church, where services will be
held regularly each Sunday and
prayer meeting during the week.
Prominent persons belonging to the
First Presbyterian congregation are
said to have originated the movement
and in their novel effort toward a sup
pression of vice in the vicinity named,
they have enlisted the co-operation
and support of leading respectable
residents near the neighborhood, who
believe that the moral effect of the un
dertaking will be to rid the commu
nity of its undesirable residents.
The "Klondike" is at present ten
anted for living apartments, but the
agency from which it was rented
promises to dispossess the tenant before
next Sunday, when services are ex
pected to be held by some prominent
city pastor.

ALDERMAN BAILEY RESIGNS.
Mr. VoaQlaha Also Went Out as Mayer

lere Tax-Rock Qsirry Leased
to Mr. L. A. Weedon.
!
More than a hundred liquor dealers,
lawyers, citizens, etc., were present
last night at the regular meeting of the
Board bf Aldermen to see what the
Council "had up it's sleeve" in the
way of a high lice ne;pro position about
which there has been so mueh talk
recently. !
The show.down on the part of the
high license advocates came when Al
derman Hashagen, of the Finance
Committee, began reading the general
tax ordinance for the ensuing fiscal
year as agreed upon by two members
of the committee. The two members.
when the liquor clause was reached,
recommended that the license remain
at (23 per month as now, but Mr . W.
B. Cooper, the third member of the
committee, submitted a minority report
which in addition to the regulations of
the traffic now in force, provides for
a classification in the license rate ac
cording to location of bars as follows:
Classification A (1,000 per annum.
payable quarterly In advance.
Classification B (720. payable quar
terly in advance.
Classification C (324. payable semi
annually in advance.
For tne nurnoses of this section
Claulflcation.A shall be deemed to ap
ply to all places where spirituous, malt
or vinous liquors are sold in that ter
ritory bounded on the east by the east
ern line of Fourth street, on the south
by the northern line of Church street,
on the north by the southern limit or
line of the right of way of the Atlan
tic Railroad Company, and on the
west by the Cape Fear river: provided.
however, and it is expressly intended
that all that portion of territory with
in the oity limits situate west of the
Cape Fear river shall be deemed for
the purposes herein expressed to be
part of Classification A.
Fori tne purpose of this section
Classification B shall be deemed to
apply to all places where spirituous,
malt or vinous liquors are sold in that
territory bounded on the west by the
Eastern line of Fourth street, on the
east by the Eastern line of Eighth
street, on the south by the northern
line of Church street and on the north
by the right of way of the Atlantic
Coast Lane Railroad Company.

to; that is to say not included in Clas
sification A and B.
Every shop, building, ahed or tent
or open stand where spirituous malt or
vinous liquors are retailed as above
snail be deemed a Bar.
Mr. I Cooper spoke in favor of this
report and Mr. Sweeney warmly at
tacked it He said he didn't want to
create a liquor monopoly and moved
that the license remain just where it
is. -Mr. Spencer seconded the propo
sition of Mr. Cooper. Mr. Bailey op
posed itand asked for an opinion as to
its constitutionality from City Attorney
Bellamy. N
Mr Bellamy said he hadinvestiga-
ted the measure and was satisfied it
was all right in principle but might be
defective technically in its phraseology
it was drawn hurriedly. He said
the classification scheme was effective
in New York and cited authorities
to its legality.
At the request of Mr. Cooper, Mr.
George Rountree was present and gave
an opinion exactly coincident with
that of the oitv attorney, whom he
said had explained the law perfectly.
Mr Rountree said, however, that he
did not pretend to say as to the policy
of adopting such a regulation. Mr,
Iredell Meares was also present for Mr.
Goober and concurred in Mr, Ronn-
tree's opinion.
Mr. Tiencken, of Fifth ward, oppos
ed the measure and said what applied
to New York would not ap
ply to Wilmington. Mr. von Glahn
said! he heard rumors on the streets
that the effect of the ordinance would
be to seriously impair the revenue of
the public schools. He said it was a
'nrettv nass" when our children are
educated from the sale of liquor.
Mr. Mann wanted consideration de
ferred until Thursday and Mr. John
son seconded it The Mayor ruled
thai there was a motion already before
the house.
Mr. Johnson read from a paper, de
fining his position and saying tne
effect of the license would be to in
crease blind tigers, the law against
which wasnot enforced. Mr. Sweeney
took him hotly to task for the last re
mark and called in vain for Mr. John
son to specify charges and call names.
Mr. Bailey had previously moved a
substitute for the whole that tne
license remain as it is and wnen
the question was put Messrs. Johnson,
Hashagen, Sweeney, Bailey and
Tiencken voted "aye," while Messrs.
Cooper, Spencer, VonGlahn and Mur-
reU voted "nay." Mr. Mann did not
vote and the motion to continue the
license same as now was adopted.
The remainder of the tax ordinance
was taken up seriatim and the follow
ing increases made: Billiard, pool,
bagatelle, ping pong or Kiondyxe
tables for hire (3.25 per month; bill
postern and advertising agents, (20 to
(50 per year; bottlers of non-alcoholic
drinks, (12 to (20 per. year; brokers
In money or money lenders, stocks or

itinerant peddlers, (2 to; (3 per day.
An effort to double the tax of (75 per
year on ice companies failed. A new
license tax was' imposed on Sewerage
companies soliciting business, of (120
per year, payable quarterly. The rate
on real estate was allowed to remain
same as last year. j
The usual Summer loan of (40,000
was authorized, i
The Goal, Cement and Supply Co.
was7 awarded the contract for coal.
cement, wood, and terra cotta piping.
upon motion of Mr. Johnson it was
ordered, that the tax books be written
up in the City Clerk and Treasurer's
office at no extra cost and not by j the
lister as formerly. "1 !
Mr. Cooper reported the purchase of
1,000 feet of new fire hose at 70 cents
per foot and a new alarm box for Sec
ond and Market streets. !
The contract for caring for the 108
oil street lamps and furnishing same
was awarded to W. B. Duke for (800
per year. J. B. Oasteen, the present
Incumbent, bid (925.
Mr. j Tiencken asked that crushed
rock be placed in the "fish cart alley."
at the Market House.
Chairman VonGlahn, of the police
committee, reported the election of T.
G. Evans to fill the place on the force
of W. F. Furpless. resigned, and- the
putting on as "subs" of .D. A. Rowan,

Bid: of Ii. A. Weedon to rent the
city rock quarry for (25 per month,
pay the six cents royalty and furnish
7,000 tons of crushed material on the
the streets at (LOS per ton, was ac
cepted. C. EL Dock offered the same
rental, with exception of royalty and
to furnisn material for i (L42 de
livered. M. Y. i Johnson offered (25
rental and material at (LS9 per ton
delivered. A. R. Stewart, of Colum
bia, S. C, offered to deliver rock,
f. o. b. ears in Wilmington, for (L52
per ton.
Mr. Tiencken presented i a majority
report accepting the Fifth ward water
works, and said the money for same
had been paid. Mr. Bailey submitted
a minority report. ; , !
The city made a formal! application
through Hon. John D. Bellamy for
two parrot guns and balls for pyra
mids to be placed on the W. L. L
grounds.
Mr. YonGlahn tendered his resigna
tion as Mayor pro tern, and same was
accepted with regret. Mr. Bailey
later in the meeting tendered his re
signation as an Alderman and that
also was ; accepted with regret. Mr.
Z. E. Murrell was unanimously elected
chairman- of the Public Building
Committee to succeed him, but his
successor as an Alderman was not
chosen last night. Mr. Bailey said a
change In his business made it impera
tive for him to devote all his time to
that! It la learned that the change in
business is a dissolution of the com
pany owning tne Wilmington iron
Works, Mr. Bailey retaining the
foundry and machine shops and Mr.
EL A. Burr, the other member of the
company, assuming control or tne
mill supply business, j j
The Bell Telephone Co. filed Its ac
ceptance of the ordinance recently
adopted and a slight change at the re
quest of Mr. Meares, attorney, was
made in the ordinance passed relative
to the American Telephone Co.
The following Board of Commis
sioners of Navigation and Pilot
age j was re-elected; Thos. Evans,
James Sprunt, O. W. Worth, a F.
Craig, J. W. Craig, Geo. Harriss and
Samuel Northrop. i
Messrs. Cowan Bros., lessees of the
Opera House, were authorized to ex
pend half of the annual rental of
(85L50 on furnishings for the theatre,
an inventory of all fixtures to be filed
with the city, i This action also settles
the controversy between! the Messrs.
Cowan and Mr. S. A. Schloss, the for
mer lessee.
At the suggestion of Mr. Tiencken,
the Ordinance Committee and City
Attorney were instructed to de
vise some regulation for - the proper
control of the alleged bawdy houses
in the city.
The Mayor characterized as a lie eer
tain reports that were suggested as to
his non-enforcement of the law per
taining to any .subject. His remarks
were put strongly and repeatedly, and
very soon the Board adiourned.

The 84th annual commencement of
St.! Thomas' Parochial School, taught
by, the Sisters of Mercy of the parish,
was held last night and the exercises
were seen and enjoyed by a large
audience.
The programme was well rendered
and the Sisters deserve much praise
for training the children in such an
admirable manner as to enable them
to execute their parts with so much
skill and grace. The programme was
as follows:

Sweeney was excellent, as usual, while
Leonard was ratheroff. Raleigh made
three double plays, each being short
stop to second to first. Wilmington
lost two good chances for doubles
through:' errors by Lattin. Holland
made the batting record for Wilmingt
ton. Fisher was at his best. There is
a marked improvement, Sweeney says,
in the work of the infield, while the
outfield Was also good. Raleigh
cranks are very anxious over the pos
sible outcome of the next two: games.
Wilmington startled them by the
work to-day. " I
Raleigh, N. C, June 2. Neither
Wilmington nor Raleigh deserved to
win to-day as neither played fast bait
Sweeney did better work at the slab
than Leonard. Fisher's work behind
the bat was extra good and Holland
with the stick, five times up, made
four hits. Lattin at short, made two
costly errors, but Raleigh beat Wil
mington at the error game. The team
showed plenty of grit and a few vic
tories will aid them. Their behavior
to-day was much to their credit.
The umpire gave both teams black
eyes on several decisions. He is a lo
cal man and did the best he knew how.
The game was won in the ninth on"
Hook's sleepy play, letting ajball get
away and . looting at it. sweeney
reached first ' and advanced when
Mathlson went out, short to first, scor
ing on Holland's hit in centre, i Mc-
Ginnis flew to Hook; Dommell walk
ed and Fisher fouled out to Smith.
Raleigh did nothing in its half, j j
Two hits in the second, scoring: a
run, and three hits in the third, scor
ing two runs, really did the business.
It is likely the game to-morrow will
draw a larger crowd.

Raleigh, N. 0., June 2. The game
at Greensboro with Durham was
stopped during the last half of the

fusal to play longer on account of
rank decisions of Umpire Proud. The
game was forfeited to Greensboro, 9 to
0, with the actual score 4 to 4. McTeer
first up in the last half; of the ninth,
singled to right field, Mangum bunted
and on error of Durham, McTeer went
to third and Mangum to second; Kel-
! ley hit to short stop, who ran to third
base, touched Mangum: and also Mc
Teer, who was near. Umpire Proud
ruled Mangum safe, and McTeer out.

field. !
OUR CUSTOM H0USB
PRIVILEGES.
Mr. Bellamy Introduced
Bill Yesterday
i
Tending to Increase Imports Here.
Hon. J. D. Bellamy has been in
formed by Deputy Collector J. E. Tay
lor that the port of Wilmington is not
a port to which dutiable merchandise
may be shipped without appraisement,
under the act of June 10, 1880, while
Charleston, Mobile, Norfolk and Sa
vannah have this privilege. Acting
upon this information, Mr. Bellamy
prepared a bill which he introduced
yesterday, as follows: j
An act to make Wilmington, N. C, a
port through which merchandise
may be imported for transportation
without appraisement.
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United
States of America, in Congress as
sembled, that the privileges of the first
section of the Act approved June 10th,
1880, governing the immediate trans
portation of dutiable merchandise
without appraisement, be and the same
are hereby extended to the port of
Wilmington, N. C.
In talking oyer the matter with Mr.
Chance, the supervising special agent
of customs, Mr. Bellamy was further
informed that Wilmington had no
bonded warehouses and that when the
government owns a warehouse, on ap
plication of the collector, a part of the
warehouse may be used as a bonded
warehouse without a regular store
keeper, a deputy doing'the duty when
required. It is necessary to have this
done in order to make effective the
bill Mr. Bellamy intends to have
passed. The special agent also called
Mr. Bellamy's attention to the fact
that Wilmington has not even custom
house premises which are used for the
storage of imported goods in bond.
Funeral of a Child. ! .
The funeral of little James Qil-
j Christ Smoot, whose death in Fayette-
ville was announced in these columns

i No. 110 South Sixth street, in the pres
ence of many friends of the bereaved
family. The services were conducted
by Rev. John H. Hall, assisted by
Presiding Elder R. B. John, and the
remains were tenderly laid to rest in
