Several Offers to Sell Bloodhounds, But Commissioners Took No Notice of Ssme-Qreenville Citizens Want x Public Rosd Tsx Books. The Board of County Commission ers held its regular monthly- meeting yesterday afternoon, Chairman D. Mc- Eachern and all members having been present, viz: Messrs. F. A. Montgom ery, Gabriel Holmes, W. F. Alexan der and-H. L. Vollers. A. Millie was allowed to list land in Cape Fear township without liability to double tax, provided the tax is paid during the current two weeks. Messrs. M. 8: Willard, O. W. Worth, James and Frank Canady, residents of Greenville Sound, ap peared before the Board and requested the laying-out of a public road leading from the turnpike near the Martin place to Lietgen's landing. The mat ter was continued in the hands of the committee. Thos. J. Ashley, white, of Wilming ton township, was relieved of poll tax on account of physical disability. The action of the chairman and a ma jority of the Board in appointing L. D. Cherry to Buryey certain lands for O. M. Fillyaw and W. M. Cherry in Cape Fear township, was approved. Mr Cherry was also appointed to survey lands of 8. E. Carter in the same town ship. The reports of the Register of Deeds, Clerk of the Superior Court and Su perintendent of Health were received and approved. That of the health superintendent shows that during August 194 patients were treated in the office and 40 visits were made to 33 patients at their homes. The county institutions were reported in good san itary condition with no acute sickness in the home or in the jail, and only a few cases of chills and fever in the convict camp. A few cases of typhoid fever are reported. The tax assessment on property of Mrs. Rebecca Slernberger on W rights -ville beach was reduced from $250 to 100. It appearing that the tax on proper ty of John G. Daniel in Blocks 307 and 312, sold by S. H. Manning, sheriff, or non payment cf taxes in 1890, had , been paid, as evidenced by receipt for same, dated Sept, 17ih, 1890, it was or dered that the tax deed be cancelled and the property restored to its proper owner. The action of the permanent road commissioner in furnishing the city of Goldsboro not exceeding five carloads of road material from the Castle Haynes quarry at $1.50 a ton, was ap proved. The Goldsboro authorities desire the material to repair certain streets built of the same .material, when the quarry was under State con trol. The application of Mrs. Bertha Jus tice in reference to the admission of her child into the Deaf and Dumb In stitution was referred to the Finance Committee with power to act. The substitution- of the name of Mr. Matt J. Heyer for that of Mr. J. W. Norwood on the bond of County Treasurer H. McL. Green was ap proved. County Attorney W. B. McKoy was allowed $75 for professional services n the county road bond litigation. Sophia McKenzie, colored, of Har nett township, was allowed $1 per month and her name was placed on the out-door poor list. Offers from several desiring to sell bloodhounds were read, but the Com missioners took nor proposed any action.' One of them was an offer from ''Hurricane" Branch to sell two thoroughbred pups sired by 'Tiger," the famous man trailer used in the Cropsey case. After drawing the list of jurors for the October term of the Superior Court aa published in another column, an adjournment was taken until Thursday, when the tax books will be received from the compilers and turned over to the sheriff for collec tion. The compilation is complete, but the sheets are now being bound and will not ba ready until later in the week. , Police Statistics. August was a busy month with the police. The report of Chief Furlong, submitted to the Board of Aldermen last night, shows that during that period 119 arrests were made, 35 of the offenders having been white and 84 colored persons. Twenty-eight were sent to the county roads for terms ag gregating 670 days and five were held for the higher court one for burglary. August is usually a dull- month in all lines, but the number of arrests indi cates that the police put forth special effort. Steamer Rosewood la Port The Britsh steamer Rosewood, 1104 ton, Capt. McGregor, arrived yester day from Villa Real, consigned to Messrs. Heide & Co., with a cargo ot pyrites for the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co. After discharging at the factory up the river, the Rosewood, will receive a cargo of cotton from Messrs. Alexander Sprunt 8c Son at the Champion Compress. The British steamer Torgorm also arrived up yes terday from quarantine and will re ceive a cargo of gumi timber for the Acme Tea Chest Co. Morning WILMINGTON, N. C, TUESDAY SEPTEMBER uTvDL?fD.D Local Carpenters and Joiners and Those of Soathport Made Delightful Occa sion of It Annoal Oration. Labor Day 1902 will perhaps go down in the annals of Wilmington as having been more generally and ap propriately celebrated yesterday than ever before. The more elaborate oh seryance was by the laboring people themselves and as the holiday was especially set apart in their honor. it is nothing but mete and proper that they should have made the most of it In ihe celebration in Wilmington yesterday, however, all citizens joined the workingmen in the spirit of the hour and were glad to see them have a day of recreation and patriotic ob servance. About 150 members of Southport Union, Carpenters and Joiners of America, their families and friends came up on a special trip of the steamer Wilmington at 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning, accomp panied by the Post band of Fort Caswell. They were met at the wharf by a deputation of prominent mem bers of Local Union No. 899, of this city, and escorted to local headquar ters in the MacRae building, where a cordial address of welcome was de livered in pleasing manner by Mr. J. E. 8mith. The exercises at the Hall having been completed, the two unions formed in line, and, after a short parade, headed by the band, the party left on the cars for Wrightsville beacb, where the chief events of the day took place. One of the notable features was the annual address by the Rev. R. B. John, presiding elder of the Wilming ton District, M. E. Church: Rev. Mr. John spoke in the pavilion at the beach and was introduced by President Gordon, of the local Union. Mr. John began his highly entertaining address by saying this is the best age the world J has ever seen. It appreciates the man more than ever for what he is doing. He cited the pro gress in surgery as an instance, referring back to the time not long ago when operations were performed by the ordinary barbers of the day. Gradually the profession advanced un til now it is at the head of all profes sions. o it is witn all lorms or man ual labor, for the happiness and com fort of mankind has made them all honorable callings. The study of so cial questions has given dignity to all kinds of labor. It is from the ranks of the sons of toil that all great men have sprung.. To-day it is the sons of the rich that are to be pitied rather than the sons of the poor. Rev. Mr. John quoted from President G. Stanley Hall, at the head of an eminent New England college, who said that there is no strong char acter unless there is a strong will and there can be no strong will without a vigorous muscle. The fact is well re cognized now throughout the world and it has become so that no edecation is complete without industrial train ing. Mr. John's remarks were listened to with great pleasure and profit. The address was followed by a sumptous dinner at the hotels on the beach and the afternoon was given over to athletic sports of a lively na tare. It waa late in the afternoon when the carpenters and friends re turned to their homes, all voting the day one well spent and enjoyable in every particular. In the city the day was marked by the closing of the banks, Custom House and Produce Exchange and sev eral departments of the Atlantic Coast Line. The holiday was well kept, and it is right and proper that it should have been. SEASON'S COTTON RECEIPTS AS POSTED YESTERDAY. Excepting Yesrs of 1S98 and 1899, When Yield in Territory Wis Phenomenal, Figures Break All Records. The actual receipts of cotton at the port of Wilmington for the crop year ended Sept. 1st, as posted yesterday on the exchange of the Chamber of Commerce, are shown to have been 284,722 bales against 258,561 bales during the year preceding. With the exception of the crop years ending in 1898 and 1899, when there .was a very large production in the territory con- tieuous to Wilmington, the past season's receipts break all records since 1890 as will appear from the follow ing table covering 13 years at this port: Years. Receipts. 1901-02 284,722 1900 01 258,561 1899-00 zaz.aou 1898-99 291,365 1897-98 323,273 1896-97 234,664 1895-96 175,447 1894-95 234,631 1893-94 189,840 1892-93 160,098 1891-92 161,510 1890-91 189,325 1889-90 134,916 The grand total exports for the past year were 269,652 bales against only 259,495 on the year previous. The do mestic exports were only 7,816 bales against 35,359 in 1901, but what was lost in coastwise shipments was made up in foreign exports, the figures being 261,806 bales and 225,136 bale, the difference being in favor of -the year just ended. The monthly statement of cotton and naval stores for August is printed in the commercial columns of the Stab to-day. Mr. Charles "price left yes terday morning to spend a few months at Washington, N. C. MANY MINOR THINGS. Board of Aldermen in Regular Monthly Session for Sep tember Last Night. SEVERAL WARM DEBATES. Reports from All Committees and Depart ments Were Without Specisl Pes tores Hot Flint Over Liquor License Application. An avalanche of routine and unim portant matters was tediously cleared from the Aldermanic docket at last night's regular monthly meeting of the Board, upon which there were in atlead-iice Mayor Waddell, presiding, and Messrs. Z. E. Murrell, W. O VouGIaho, J. H. Sweeney, E F. Johnson, W. B. Ooopsr, F. E. Hashagen, E. P. Bailey, M. G. Tienken and W. E. Mann. Before the meeting was over Mr. Bailey was ex -cused. Mr. Spencer was the only mem ber absent. Committee reports were first called, and under the head of 'Jfinaaca" Mr. H8'jitfa reported tde tax bDks for the current yeir would ba ready to go into the hands of the City Clerk and Treasurer oa Wednesday. Mr. Cooper, chairman of the Fira Committee, asked that the Baard au thorize $60 out of the regular appro priation to defray the expenses of Chief Schnibben to the International Convention of Fire Chiefs, to be held in New York in October. Mr. Mann strenuously objected to the appropria tion. but said he would ba willing to allow the Chief his time to attend the convention. The appropriation was allowed. Upon recommendation of the com mittee, J. H. Litgen and S. W. Ketcham were elected firemen to suc ceed J. C. Bawden and W. H. Merritt, resigned. 1 Mr. Mann reported that the Con solidated Railways, Light & Power Co. was at work installing the en closed arc light system and that the other lights were in very satisfactory condition. Mr. Hashagen, as a mem ber of the-cammittee, took exceptioa to tho latter clause of the report and said some of the lights were very poor. Upon motion of Mr. Johnson, $66.50 was appropriated for the main tenance of a light the remainder of the fiscal year at Third and Harnett streets. A similar motion by Mr. Tienken for a light at Fourth and Castle streetswas also carried. The report of the Committee on Mar kets precipitated a discussion as to the granting of a license to J. F. Garrell& Co. to conduct a meat market at Fourth and Nun streets. Mr. Marsden Bel lamy, counsel for Mr. Garrell, was present and urged the granting of the license. He presented a petition from several citizens in the neighborhood n support of his contention that the application should be granted. Mr. Hashagen presented a counter petition and Mr. Bailey called attention to the fact that the opening of these outside markets had a tendency to depreciate the renting value of the city markets. t was finally decided by the Board to grant the license. The rote was 6 to 2, Mr. Mann not voting. Mr. Sweeney, of the Ordinance Committee, said that he would look into the matter of a proper ordinance regulating the storing of gasolene in the city, as requested at the last meet ing. Mr VonGIahn, for the Police Com mittee, reported the installation of the police telephone alarm system, pro vided for in the late budget. Under this head, Mr. Johnson called atten tion to the great used of bloodhounds for trailing criminals, and upon his motion 'the chairman of the Police Committee was requested to investi gate the purchase of dogs. Mr. Murrell, of the Public Building Committee, outlined the repairs going on in the Opera House and said the matter of the city's ice supply was still a stumbling block. At this juncture Mr. Hashagen arose and said he thought the matter had been referred to the Finance Committe, of which he was chairman, and that only the Inde pendent Ice Company would submit a bid and that was 25 cents par hundred, delivered in any quantity and any where. Mr. Murrell said the Public Building Committee was glad to be relieved, and upon motion the contract was ordered to be made with the Independent Co. Upon motion of Mr. Tienken it was resolved that the Board adhere to its former action in regard to establishing a water hydrant at Sixth and Castle streets and not at Sixth and Church as proposed by the Board of Audit and Finance. It was explained that one of the chief desires in having the hydrant located at Sixth and Castle was to furnish water for the engine station on that corner. Later in the meeting, the Board agreed to appro priate $387 for extending the main to that point, that amount being the bid of the Clarendon Water Works' for extending the main. It was further explained that the water rental of $50 per year for 9 years would not haye to be paid, according to Ithe city's water contract. Mr. Johnson, of the Streets and Whvrves Committee, made a very ex haustive report of the work being done In that department. It was shown that 1,912 tons of rock had been used for macadam and repair purposes during the month and that the Red Cross improvement was about two thirds complete. He recited the Inci dents leading np to his demolition of the "res ice signs" at the public foun tain at Front and Market streets some time ago and said that since that time he had furnished ice for the fountain 2 1902 under contract with the Independent Ica Co. He also reported the pur chase of two mules from Mr. F. T? Mills at a cost of $375, and a cart from Mr. P. H. Hayden. Mr. Tienken called attention to a cesspool at Fourth and Wooster streets, which Mr. Johnson said would receive attention. Mr. Sweeney called attention to the need of the permanent improvement of the northern end. of Second street, south of the railroad, along which there are a number of fine residences and ad abominable street. He asked that work next be commenced on that That let down the gap for a perfect fu sillade of requests for street improve ment by the several Aldermen for their respective wards and Mr. John son, chairman of the committee, cried out for no instructions if possible; the committtee would do the bsst it could and might be hamp ered in its work by instructions. Mr. Johnson said he thought the most urgent need upon the completion of the Red Cross improvement was on Chesnut, between Seventh and Tenth streets, where grading had been done, and-the city was in danger of damage suits by washing rains. No instructions were giver, and Mr. Johnson later asked to supplement his report by saying that lately an expert paver naa come irom uoiumois, a. and was laying some splendid con crete sidewalks down town, notably in front of J. W. Murchison & Oo.'s store and the Atlantic National Bank. As chairman 'of the committee he said he had agreed for the city to pay part of the expense inasmuch as the sidewalks in that section had already gone to pieces. The work was costing 90 cents a square foot. Mr. Mann said ho was a member of the Streets and Wharves Committee, and that'wds the first he had heard of any agreemeat fo- the city to pay a part of the cost. EI a was opposed to it, and said he thought he could express a similar sentiment for his colleague, Mr. Bailey, also a mem hereof the committee, who had retired previous to the repori. Mr. VonGIahn said he had never heard of such a proposition or prece dent as Mr. Johnson had claimed for the idea. The city did have a general understanding that it would lay brick sidewalks when citizens furnished all material, but as for the city's paying a part for a sidewalk around private premises he had never heard of it. The Mayor also said that Mr. Von Glahn's idea was his understanding of the standing agreement. Mr. Johnson said he thought the. laying-, grading, curbing, etc , was about one half the cost of a sidewalk and he would recommend the payment by the city of that proportion for the concrete work. The recommendation brought forth a perfect storm of disapproval and Mr. Johnson withdrew his recommenda tion, expressing the hope that some thing might be done by which the city could get a good long stretch of this concrete sidewalk. In Columbia, the city laid at its own expense about four miles of such sidewalk. The reports ot committees having been exhausted, reports from other de partments were called for. The Su perintendent of Health, Dr. C. T. Harper, reported that during the month 42 deaths had occurred, 14 white persoas and 28 colored; 52 births, 19 white, 33 colored. One case of scar let and 7 of typhoid fever occurred during the month; 3,310 inspections were made by the health officers; 732 ime and acid orders issued ; 5 fumiga tions made; 1,120 cart loads of garbage removed; 1,518 premises attended by scavengers. The chief of the Fire Department reported four alarms during the month and a total damage of not more than $50. The cattle weigher reported 250 head of cattle weighed and inspected and the payment into the treasury of 37.50 revenue therefrom. The City Attorney reported the col- ection of $446.09 back taxes since last report. The Local Board of Fire Under writers reported an infraction of the building ordinance by the erection of frame, composition roof structure near the yards of the Coal, Cement and Supp !y Co. The matter was referred to the Fire Commission, composed of the Mayor and Chiefs of Fire and Po lice departments. Two propositions from John H. Whiteman to lease for ten years the city wharf back of Front street market house, at a rental of $100 per year, were not granted. There was a warm fight over the granting of a liquorlicense to Elijah Walton at Tenth and Grace streets. Petitions pro and con were presented and the relative merits of the two af forded a subject of rapid fire discus sion. Mr. Johnson led the movement against granting and Messrs. Mann and Hashagen for granting. A. J. Marshall, Esq , appeared as counsel for Mr. Walton, and a vote resulted in a tie. The Mayor cast the deciding vote in favor of granting the license to Mr. Walton. Those against granting were Messrs. VonGIahn, Johnson, Cooper and Murrell. Mr. Thomas J. Gore presented a proposition to the city endorsed by property owners in the vicinity, ask ing that he be allowed to convert the Dock street dock into a wharf; extend the sewer pipe under the same further into the river, and erect a substantial building thereon, he to have the occu pancy of same for ten years for his outlay in the improvement. Mr. A. J. Marshall also appeared as counsel in this matter and it was referred to the Streets and Wharves Committee for report. The application of J. D. Dennis to retail liquor at Fourth and Taylor streets was allowed, Mr. Murrell hay ing withdrawn his objection, WHOLE NO. 10,928 TO-DAY I Please remember that money deposited with us to-day, Tuesday, September 2nd, will draw 4 per cent, interest, com pounded quarterly from September 1st.
