Held Their July Meeting Last Night for a Couple of Hours. TWO INTERESTING FEATURES Fifth Ward Aldermen Disagree-Drinkiog Fountain to Be Established for Ex cnrslonlsts Liquor Applies tloss Recommended. The most prominent feature of last night's Aldermanlo meeting, which was the regular monthly one, was a division and consequent fight between the two aldermen from the Fifth ward over the bawdy house question. Alderman TIencken thinks he has at last solLthe problem, and pre sented: the solution in the form of the following ordinance, which he strong ly advocated: ' AIT AMENDMENT To Article 53 of the General Tax Or dinance for the City of Wilmington, kj., ior tne year ii: "Be it enacted bv the Board of Al dermen of the City of Wilmington, ana it is hereby enacted bv the au thority of the same that Section 53 of the general Tax Ordinance of the City of Wilmington, N. C, for the year iauz snail do as iouows : Section 53. Hotels and Boardinc nouses. Two to four rooms. SI uer month in advance. Five to fifteen rooms. 13 ner month In advance. Sixteen to twenty-five rooms. $4 per month in advance. Twenty-five to fifty rooms. 16.25 per month in advance. More than fifty rooms. $12.50 per monin inaavance. Provided, as a prerequisite to the granting of such license that written application shall be made by all per sons desiring license under this sec tion to the Board of Aldermen of the city of Wilmington, and the. granting of all such licenses shall be left to the discretion of said Board; Provided, further, that this ordinance shall not go into effect until the first day of October, 1902." Alderman Mann took issue with Alderman Tiencken upon the grounds that the ordinance should not be passed until some locality was defi nitely obtained where these houses of questionable character could be situ ated. Thus was the fight on between the Fifth ward aldermen. Alderman Tiencken, in presenting the ordinance, made a strong appeal for its passage and; stated that it was the artlw nlan tn rid Fourth and dsstla streets and vicinity of these houses. He also stated that he was backed by the best people of the Fifth ward in the course he was pursuing. Alderman Mann said the aldermen had no right to scatter the houses and that until they obtain a certain and fixed location for such places he would oppose the ordinance. until such trme, he said, the city should stand "hands off." Alderman Tiencken said he pro posed to get the ordinance passed if possible, as he felt that it was a part of his work. Alderman Mann said he had never been asked by a tax-payer of tbe Fifth ward to advocate such a measure. AidermanlTiencken replied that he had. After the discussion Mayor Waddell reminded Alderman Tiencken that ac cording to the rules the ordinance would have to lay over a meeting un less adopted unanimously, so the mat ter was deferred. The ordinance was drawn up for Al derman Tiencken by City Attorney Bellamy,' who vouched for its legality. Another interesting . and profitable feature of the session was a resolution suggested, by Alderman Bailey and presented by Alderman Johnson, pro viding for the 'establishment of a drinking fountain for excursionists. The fountain will be situated on the plaza on Market street between Front and Second, and very likely at the Second street end. The water will be furnished gratis by Alderman Bailey. The resolution also instructed the Streets and Wharves Committee to see about sanitary accommodations for the excursionists. Besides these two matters, other bus iness was transacted as follows:, Upon motion of Alderman Bailey all teams of the city, except those of the Fire Department were placed un der the control of the superintendent of streets. Alderman Murrell, of the Fire De partment .Committee, reported the re ceipt of bids for the erection of a Cen tral. Fire House, as follows: T. F. Tyler, $5,000 ; D. Hanna, $5,250 ; Wil mington Towing and Construction Company, $5,854.50 The contract was awarded to Mr. Tyler. Alderman Johnson, of the Streets and Wharves Committee, reported the curbing ready to be laid on Bed Cross street and that sidewalk work had been done on Fourth street near St Andrew's Presbyterian church. He also reported that the machinery was rapidly being placed in the rock quar ry and would be ready Tor operation in a few days. Alderman Bailey called Alderman Johnson's attention to two trees on Orange street near Fourth, that are a. menace to : life and property in case of a storm. Alderman Tiencken also called at tention to two trees that are dangerous on Church, near Third. The matter of granting A. B. Schloss a liquor license, to do business at No. 105 Princess street, : which was de ferred from the last -meeting, was taken up and rejected. ' - Mr. Schloss presented a petition in his behalf signed by business men In the vicinity of his proposed saloon, buf ex-Judge E. K, Bryan successfully opposed It with a counter , petition 1902. signed by near-by residents. - He also raised opposition on account of the nearness to the switch to be placed at Front and Princess streets by the Street Bail way Company. All the Aldermen voted for its re jection, except Aldermen Hashagen and Tienken, who did not vote. The application of Mr. John EL Woebse to conduct a saloon, corner Fourth and Nixon streets, was recon sidered and allowed on the strength of a strongly endorsed petition. B. G. Empie, Esq., appeared before the meeting to present a petition in fa vor of allowing Frank Brown to con duet a saloon, corner Ninth and Bla den streets. The license was granted, all the Al dermen voting in the affirmative except Aldermen Murrell. Reports were received from City At torney Bellamy, Chief of Fire Depart ment Schnibben, Cattle Weigher Bland and Superintendent of Health Harper. Chief Schnibben reported six alarms during June and a total damage of about $1,200. Cattle Weiarher Bland reported weighing 133 cattle the pasKmonth. He turned over to the city $20 fees. Dr. Harper reported 59 deaths, of which 20 were whites; 3,702 inspec tions by health officers; 616 acid or ders issued ; 1,037 loads of trash hauled ; and 195 closets cleaned. He also recommended a city crematory for trash. City Attorney Bellamy reported the collection of $472 back taxes. Upon Alderman Johnson's motion, Alderman Sweeney was placed on the Finance Committee, Alderman Tienck en on the Ordinance Committee, Al dermen Hashagen on the Light Com mtttee, and Alderman Bailey on the Streets and Wharves and Public Build ings Committee.' Dr. Harper was granted a leave of absence of a week or ten days and Dr. F. H. Bussell selected to act in his stead. Shortly before 10 o'clock the meet ing adjourned. There were present at the session Mayor Waddell, Clerk King, City At torney Bellamy and Aldermen John son, YonGlahn, Mann, Hashagen, Tiencken, Bailey and Murrell. The very first business of the meet ing was the swearing in of Alderman Bailey, re-elected. ELKS A-COMING.

Next year, some time during the month of June, the State Association of the Benevolent and Protective Or der of Elks, will hold its annual con vention in Wilmington, all business sessions being held at Wrightsville Beach. This comes as the result of an invitation extended to the State Asso ciation at its meeting last week in Asheville by Exalted Buler W. J. Bel lamy, special representative of the Lodge in this city. Mr. Bellamy returned home yester day morning and speaks enthusiasti cally of the interest taken in the meet ing last wees, which was the second annual one,' and says that the sessions were of a most profitable nature.

Other officers elected were: Presi dent B. S. Davis, of Charlotte; Vice President, Harvey ML Dickson, of Asheville; Grand Marshal, Walter Murphy, of Salisbury, and Deputy Grand Marshal, H. W. Wilson, of Charlotte. Among' the distinguished visitors present were Philip Kelly, chairman and committeeman of the Grand Lodge of the United States, and John O.

Fayettbtvtlle, N. O., July 7, 1902. Mb. Editor We notice from the reports of the Cumberland County Convention, as published in some of the State papers yesterday, that a mis take was made relative to the county's vote for Associate Justice. The facts were, that 110 voting out of 120, Judge Connor received 85 votes, Mr. Piatt Walker 70 votes, and Judge Brown 65 votes, the convention hav ing voted by townships for two candi dates on each ballot. If you consider the entire vote as 110, then each of the candidates received a majority of the convention's vote. If you consider the vote as a proportion ate part of 220, then neither candidate received a majority. The truth of the matter is, that each of the gentlemen named is entitled to his proportionate part of the vote of Cumberland county, to-witr Judge Connor, 17.44; Mr. Walker, 14.44, and Judge Brown, 13.44. The writer of the articles alluded to was in error in saying that according to the rules of the convention, Messrs. Connor and Walker are entitled to the unanimous support of the county. Under the rules of the county conven tion, each of the above gentlemen will receive his proportionate part of the vote of Cumberland county in the State convention. Yours, respectfully, H. MoD.
