Conductor Beaton had for his car driver Motorman Ed. Cunningham, and another young man, Leon Nixon, was running on the car with the con1 due tor to learn the business. When tbe Princess street junction was reach ed the apprentice was told to bring the trolley around for the return trip and in doing so, he missed putting the trolley wheel on the wire and the pole flew straight up in the air, disarrang ing the spring which held it in posi tion. Conductor Beaton went up on top of the car to get the trolley springs adjusted, and had Nixon with him. In some unaccountable way, while he had hold of the iron pole, the conductor was thrown on .the wire, which struck him across the eyes and severely burned one of them. The bridge of bis nose was also badly burned and his right Land with which he was holding the pole was badly charred. Beaton was pitched forward by the shock and would have fallen from the top of the car to the brick pavement, had not Po liceman Frank George seen the acci dent and rushed to the side of the car in time to catch him and break the fall. Drs. W. J. H. Bellamy and F. H.

Both matters were referred to the Board of Audit and Finance to-night for concurrence. The Board met at 8 o'clock, those present having been Mayor WaddelJ, presiding; Messrs. F. E. Hasbsgen, E, F. Johnson, C. L.. Spencer, W. C. VonGlahn, John H. Sweeney, Z. E. Murrel), M. G. Tiencken, W. B. Coop er and E. P. Bailey. The Fire Commission to which was referred the matter of .granting a permit to thelOoal, Cement and Supply Oa, to store oil and other petroleum products in the warehouse at north east corner of Ann and Water streets, recommended that same be granted provided a brick wall on the north side of the building is completed. The recommendation of the Commission waa adopted by the Board, and the permit granted. The oil is to be stor ed in quantities not larger than 350 gallons. R F. Warren and Geo. W. Penny were granted permission to build a small yacht house on the South side of Ann street dock. J. W. Capps & Co. were allowed to receive the license of B. F.

Petition of sundry citizens for an extension of the water mains to Tenth and Orange streets, was referred to the Water Work Committee. Chairman Haahagen, of the Finance Committee, made a statement in re gard to the F. A. Applegate claim. Mr. Applegate expressed himself in a communication, read to the Board, as not satisfied with the adjustment at last meeting, which adjustment was approved by the Board of Audit and Finance. The claim is for balance on a contract for repairs to the City Hall another buildings two or three years ago. Mr. Bailey made the point that city contractors in the future should give bond for the faithful execution of any work attempted. Upon motion of Mr. Sweeney the matter was left open for a conference with Capt. Jno. H. Hanby, former chairman of the Public Building Committee. A communication was read from a large number of citizens, asking that the Board make -some provisions by which the city would defray at least one half the expense in cases where parties desire to lay or have already laid cement pavements around their property. A communi cation of the same tenor was read from a committee recently appointed by the Chamber of Commerce to confer with the Aldermen in regard to the matter. Chairman Johnson, of the Streets and Wharves Committee, made a statement favoring the plan and said he thought the proportion named waa about -equitable. Mr. Sweeney favored the plan outlined in the communications and said he thought about one-third would be the right proportion. Mr. Bailey aaid he favored, the sidewalks but thought that bids should be advertised for as re quired by law Mayor Waddell also favored the plan and said that some uniform legislation should be secured to cover the matter. He cited the cases of the cities of Atlanta, Baltimore and others. Geo. L. Peschau, Esq., as attorney for "the petitioners in this matter, asked and was granted permission to 'address, the .Board favoring the plan. Mr. Peschau also spoke in behalf of those who have already laid sidewalks. City Attorney Bellamy thought that the Act of 1855 in regard to the Im provement of street by the city and property owners 'jointly, applied to sidewalks. Mr. Cooper moved that the city al low the property owners 40 cent per square yard for any cement paving that they may do. Mr. Sweeney moved that bids be advertised for 5,000 square' yards and that the first sidewalks improved he along Front street Mr. VonGlahn .moved as a substitute that one-third the coat , of these sidewalks be allowed to property owners, who would hare sidewalks laid...;-" . :: - -" - - r Mr. Sweeney said he wanted the City Attorney to draw an ordinance, making the laying of the sidewalks compulsory, and he would take it to Raleigh and get It put through the Legislature. He said he had "pride in the old town yet and wanted to see her go ahead," He was cheered upon this latter remark by a larger number of . spectators in the-room wherethe Board was in session, , J-- i- Mr. Johnson moved as a substitute for the whole that- for the sidewalk already laid of concrete 40 cents per squara-yard ba paid and that some other plan of action be formulated for the future . , Mr. Bailey rose to a point of erder and called for the question on bis sub stitute for the whole that a special cammiltee be appointed by the Mayor to investigate the matter and report at the next meeting.

Gore Company asked permission to lay an iron bridge from their store on east aide of Water street to their warehouse on the opposite side. The petition was referred to the Fire Commission and Streets and Wharves Committee, with power to act. The Cattle Weigher reported $45.30 revenue from his office during the month of November. The City At torney reported the collection of $1,333.54 back taxes during the month. The Chief of Police reported 133 ar rests during November, 59 whites, 64 negroes. Six were sent to the county roads and 15 defendants were sent over to the Superior Court, one with out bail. The Superintendent of Health reported 55 deaths, 33 colored and 33 whites; 48 births, 19 colored and 39 whites. Ten scarlet fever quarantines and 7 for diphtheria were established during the month; all the cases of a mild type and under perfect control. Twenty fumigations and 3,964 inspec tions were made. The trash carts re moved 1,074 loads and the scavengers attended to 1,693 premises. Committee reports were next called for. Mr. Murrell reported that the re pairs to the city prison were about completed and some improvements would soon be made to the Mayor's office. Mr. Hashagen, of the Light Committee, called attention to an ap parent laxity on the part of policemen in reporting street lights that are out during the night. Mr. Johnson, of the Streets and Wharves Committee, reported that numerous breakdowns at the quarry had occurred and conse quently little work had been done. Only about 700 tons had been secured during the month, whereas the con tract was for 300 tons per week. The Fifth street bridge, he said, had ar rived and was being put in place. The first payment of $3,300 on the bridge has been made. The contractor for the Sixth street bridge had apparently abandoned the work. Nothing had been done in two or three weeks. The street force had been engaged in filling In the approaches to the Fifth street bridge. Mr. Sweeney asked if city hands were not employed In restoring streets torn up by the telenhone com. pany, which is lsying conduits for underground wires. Mr. Johnson re plied ' that they were, but at the ex pense of the telephone company, which has deposited the money with the City Clerk and Treasurer. Mr, Sween ey said the restoration of tbe streets was being done in a very poor man ner. He favored making the tele phone company employ experts in this work of restoration. He did not favor city hands doing the work any way. Mr. Hashagen expressed the same opinion. The attention of the Chief of Police was called to an alleged blockade- of Surry between Church and Castle streets. The Chief said he would look into the matter; he knew of no block ade other than that which alwavs is incident to the construction of new buildings. The ordinance relative to the res toration of the streets by the telephone company was read, sustaining Mr. Johnson in putting the street hands at work on the same. Mr. Sweeney asked to withdraw his previous remarks In the matter. The Wilmington Poultry Associa tion wss granted the use of the City Hall for the poultry show from Jan. 6th-9th, upon motion of Mr. Bailey. . Mr. Johnson made a motion that $30,000 be appropriated for permanent street improvement, including what has already been spent, amounting to between $9,000 and $10,000. MONDAY'S MUNICIPAL COURT.
