Another question that Is agitating
the minds of the Aldermen, and from
which will, no doubt, arise an ordi
nance at the next regular meeting of
the board, is the sanitary matter, rela
tive to the work of scavengers. It seems
that the idea is to. form some plan by
which this matter may be governed
and bettered from a legal standpoint.
Of course, it will have to be different
from the law in vogue several years
ago, which provided for the city being
divided into districts and only on e
man being allowed to be licensed for
work In each district, as the Supreme
Court held such a law to . be unconsti
tutional and consequently it .was abol
ished. Just how the question, which is a
difficult one to successfully consider.
will be solved in order to better the
present scavenger system is yet un
known.
DATE SETTLED UPON

The date for the coming of the br-

makes it necessary to make a change.
This has been the date agreed upon
by the committee and . an invitation
extended accordingly.
The committee Is organized with Mr.
M. W. Jacob! as chairman and Mr.
John E. Wood secretary, and is work-ins-
earnestl v in the matter. A meet
ing will be .held next Wednesday af
ternoon at 6 o'clock at the Postal Tele

THOSE B06DS CHECKS
Further Procedure of the Prolific
I Buyer and Giver of Bogus
Bank Checks,
THE JAIL STILL AWAITS HIM.
Rand Is No Doubt the Same Sharper
Who Visited Columbia's Merchants
Last Week He His Depsrted
to Parts Unknown.
The whereabouts of the sharper and
bogus check giver, J. M. Band, whose
nefarious doings were related in yes
terday's Stab, is still unknown. It
is almost certain he has left- for parts
unknown, as a search of the city by
officers have resulted in naught. The
last known of him was Wednesday
morning, when he - was seen on the
streets by a porter of Whitlock's es
tablishment. In addition to the number of checks
put afloat by Band mentioned in yes
terday's paper, is. one of $118.69 to
Sam'l Bear, Sr., on Market street, and
one for $126.71 to L M. Bear & Co, cor
ner Front and Grace streets. From the
latter firm he obtained, after ordering
a bill of goods, a handsome dress pat
tern and an umbrella. The pattern he
got Mr. Peter McQueen, Jr., to express
for him to his alleged sister, Mrs. L.
O. Winston, 1004 Broad street, New
ark, N. J.
Band's boldness is without an equal
After telling Mr. McQueen that he
was a contractor from Vicksburg,
Miss., and had a large camp at Ham
let, consisting in all of 0Q white men
and 250 mules, he went to the office of
Oapt. T. D. Meares, the Seaboard Air
Line's agent here, and with which road
he claimed he had a contract for road
ballasting, and tried to arrange for a
special car to carry his purchased mer
chandise to Hamlet. He also inter
viewed Messrs. WiUard and Giles
relative to insuring his alleged camp.
and negotiated with Swift & Co. for
a quantity of meat.
Band did not get away with the
shoes given him by the firm, of Geo. B.
French & Bon. They were in the va
lise recovered by Messrs. C. W. Pol
ogt and Henry G. Haar.-
The sharper Is, no doubt, the same
one the Columbia State Wednesday
morning told about, as follows:
"On Saturday last a smooth, young
fellow successfully worked several
merchants here with worthless checks.
Among the victims, it is said, was Al
derman David, who let the fellow have
a suit of clothes and considerable
pocket money in xhange. The man
who passed the checks has quietly dis
appeared."
ALGONQUIN IN PORT.
Came Up Yesterday to Bid Adlea Before
Qoiag to Porto Rico.
The revenue cutter Algonquin came
up from Southport yesterday morn
ing for supplies and to bid farewell to
this port, as she leaves to-morrow, for
Baltimore to prepare to go to Porto
Bican shores, where she has been or
dered by the treasury department
The cutter will remain in Baltimore
about six weeks, having an ica plant
insulled and ventilators put in be
tween decks to better adapt the craft
for comfort in a warmer climate.
The people of Wilmington will re
gret exceedingly to see the Algonquin
go, for they have grown very much
attached to the staunch little cutter
during the last two years and a half,
the life of the boat here, but they will
regret more to lose the clever gentle
men who composed the official staff.
Many of the officers have families, in
fact two of the officer's wives are Wil
mington daughters, and they will all
have to move away.
It Is generally understood that an
other cutter will be ordered to this
port, though not immediately.
