The Wilmington charter bill is still in the hands of the conference committee where it went on account of Senator Bellamy's amendment to strike out the third section as to electing the Chief of Police by the people and because of some complication as to the time of the election. City Attorney Bellamy and Alderman EL F Johnson arrived here to-night looking after the matter with a view to . having the date of the election fixed beyond a possible doubt in May. Morton says he has not been ableto get the bill out of committee. The only hope is to get it out Monday morning and get concurrence on the amendments. ' This - Is thought by Morton at midnight to be, impossible and the status of the whole affair will have to rest on the laws of 1901 in their complicated , form, which, how ever, have been construed by the At torney General as fixing the election the first Tuesday in May. ' The House and Senate will meet Monday and pro bably adjourn sine die at 10:30 A, M. Even should Senator Bellamy with draw his objections now or Represent ative Morton concede the striking but "bf Section 8, relating to the election of chief of police. It is hardly thought either house will care to take the matter up in the limited time at their disposal. . The House bill is No. 1110 and Sen ate bill No. 748. The House refused to accede to the Senate's amendment,' striking out the election of chief of po lice Thursday, and the House conferees are Messrs. Morton; Nissen, of Wins-ston-Salem, and Dockery, of Rocking ham. Those of, the Senate are Messrs. Bellamy, of Brunswick, and Brown, of Columbus, v U la ftaalclpai Politics. . .- Rumors yesterday that failure of the charter bill in tbe Liegislature would probably encompass the forthcoming city election with serious complica tions brought the municipal pot politic to the boiling-over point last night and candidates at once overcame .their 4imidity in expressing their desire for the support of the people. Alderman K. F. Johnson was the first to an nounce his intention to run for the mayoralty, but others will come for ward this week. ' - Indicted For Perjury. :,- ; i.

PleasanU Against The Wil mington Sewerage Company.", The plaintiffs also complain aa well on' their own behalf as on behalf -of all other patrons who may be similar ly interested in the matters set forth and who shall in due time come in and seek relief by, - and contribute to the expenses of their action. -r - ; -x The con; plaint sets forth as a cause of action lite incorporation of the .'Wil mington Sa wersee Co., by the Gen eral Assembly under the Private Acts of 1893, Chapter 883, and the salient points contained in Its charter; that the plaintiff- and great many other citizens, desirious of : ' obtaining the benefit of an efficient sewerage system for their respective premises and at what they regarded was a ' reasonable cost, approached tbe proper officers of the company and made application for connection; that after some negotia tions, the company : proposed to the plaintiff that if they would pay $50 for connection lee, that the defendant would charge teacn one of them, so navine. for the use and service of the sewersge system annually the sum of $3 and no more; , or, alternatively, that if persons desiring to connect with and use their system preferred it. thev mleht pay an entrance fee of $25 and an annual , rental of $4 and no more ; tnat some or tne subscribers accepted the .$50 proposition and others tbe $35 proposition, and both parties faithfully kept and performed their part of the contract up to about ' Jan. 1st, 1903 ; that the control of the stock of the defendant company recently passed into . the . hands of others than the original stockholders, , and although, the contracts -set forth above were still existing and binding upon both parties thereto, . the defendant on or about Jan. 1st, 1903, in utter disregard and violation ot the contract rights of these plaintiffs undertook to raise the rate of annual rental for the service. greatly in excess of the contract to an unreasonable and exorbitant degree and aerved notice that unless payment was made in accordance with the ad vance charges, that the defendant would disconnect the premises of the person so refusing to pay with the main sewer. It is further set forth that the plaintiffs have tendered the various sums due by each one of them as annual rental and that upon its refusal at the original rate, they believe that if, the threat of the de fendant is carried . out and their premises are disconnected, the injury will be to them irreparable, and an action for damages would be, as they are advised,: totally inadequate, as plaintiffs are informed, believe and. allege, the defendant is insolvent, in that it has an existing mortage unon Its entire system for $150,000, which Is greatly in excess of the sum for which the said system would bring upon public sale. For a second cause of action, after reeitinir the historv of the cornora- tion and its contracts, it is set forth that plaintiffs are informed and be lieve that the rates, demanded are not only unjust and unreasonable but that they are discriminating. In that some of the patrons of tho defendant. who are situated with reference there to as these plaintiffs, have been offer ed more advantageous terms and more reasonable rates than those exacted of the plaintiffs in the present action. The plaintiffs demand judgmedt that the defendant and its agents and each and every one of them be restrained from charging and exacting more, for the use of their sewerage sytem than is collected for by the respective contracts of the plaintiff and all those for whom, this suit is brought, and that , the de fendant be restrained and enjoined from disconnecting the premises of, or in anywise interfering with tbe proper use of said sewersge system by the plaintiffs and all others for whonrthe suit is brought- - . ; c - The complainant was heard by Judge Root.
