LIGHTING CONTRACT. Audit and Finance Board De clined to Concur in Award by Board of Aldermen. MEETING HELD YESTERDAY. Appropriation of $20,000 for Permaneat Street Improvements Concurred la. Seversl Mstters Deferred, Is clodlot Money for Park. By a vote of two to one the Board of Audit and Finance yesterday after noon decided not to concur in the award of the city lighting contract to the Turrentlne Light Co. as recom mended by the Aldermen and the mat ter now goes back to the latter Board for another disposition. Messrs. Yates and Orrell voted nofto concur, Mr. Wilder voted for concurrence, Chair man McQueen was, of course, not re quired to vote and Mr. S. P. McNair was out of the city. The matter was easily the most important before the meeting yesterday afternoon. Presi dent Hugh MacRae, General anager A: B. 8kelding, of the a R., L. & P. Co. ; Mr. Jno. R. Turrentlne. Jr., of the Turrentine Light Co., and Mr. F. E. Haahagen, chairman of the com mittee on lights from the Board of Al dermen, were present, in addition to members of the Board of Audit and Finance mentioned. Mr. Turrentine was heard in behalf of his proposition to instal 125 Kitson lamps to take the place of the present enclosed arc system. He offered to give bond for the mainte nance of his contract and the efficiency of the lamps and said the percentage of deterioration in the value of the plant would be only about 2 per cent ; that the minimum cost of "wear and tear" was one of the strong points in favor of the Kitson lamp. The city, he said, could buy the Kitson system, ute them for "three years onthebaais of his proposition, then destroy them and still save money from present contracts for the arc lights. Mr. MacRae spoke against the propo sition in favor of are lighting, say ing that the percentage of deteriora tion in all machinery he had know ledge of was at least 10 per cent. Three plants had been used up In Wilmington during the last decade and in 15 years no company had made any money from the city lighting con tract He also argued against muni cipal ownership of a plans, saying very few cities try to operate their plants now. They are subject every few years to change In management with each new political administration and no enterprise could succeed under similar conditions. Mr. Turrentine, in reply, ssid that over 5,500 of the Kitson lamps are now in use in Baltimore and in New York city the company pays operating ex penses of more than $10,000 per week for lamps owned by that municipality. Mr. Skelding said If the enclosed arc lamps now In use on the streets hsd not given satisfaction he was not aware of it Although the contract only called for a moonlight schedule, nine lamps In important districts were kept burning all the time. When the arguments had been con cluded Chairman McQueen said the question before the Board was whether to approve or disapprove the award by the Aldermen. Mr. Wilder moved to concur In the award by the Aldermen, but his motion failed to meet with a second. Mr. Yates moved for non-concurrence, with the resutratated above. Chairman McQueen asked Mr. Mac Rae if the a R , L. & P. Co. would continue the lights now being fur nished until the Aldermen take fur ther action. Mr. MacRae said that Mr. Skelding had agreed to something of that kind before the Board of Al dermen meeting in his absence, and that while the company was not dis posed to deal arbitrarily with the city, it was not business to continue such an arrangement indefinitely without a yearly contract He said he pre sumed the Board of Aldermen would get together and attend to the matter speedily. The bid of the C. R, L. & P. Co. this year was the same as last, and it Is reasonable to suppose that the same bid will be submitted again when the Aldermen meet to consider the matter. The license tsx ordinance, which had been further abridged by the Al dermen by striking out certain sec tions, wss referred again to that Board, with the information that the Board of Audit and Finance would approve it just as It had passed It be fore; that while aome of the sections might be obsolete, they would do no harm by remaining In force. Upon report of the chairman, the Board declined to approve bills of A. D. Wessell and estate of the late H. VonQlahn for damage to their prop erty by reason of excavations and street repair on Fifth, between Market end Dock streets. After lengthy discussion of the mat ter, an appropriation of $20,000 for per manent street improvements was con curred in with the understanding that if an additional amount can ba appro priated for that purpose it will be done. Last year, Including a balance on the Princess street paving and the build ing of Fifth street bridge, only about $28,500 was expended during the year. While It Is estimated that the Increased valuation of real estate in the city this year will be from a half to three-quarters of a million dollars. It wss also taken into consideration that the rate has been reduced and the amount of revenue will be about the same aa usual. Confidence was expressed In the 8treets and Wharves Committee of the Board of Aldermen, and Mr. Yates especlslly favored making the appro priation as large aa possible, to that material could be purchased In larger quantities and, therefore, at a mini mum rate. Bill of W. B. Dukes for eight day's care of the oil lights in June was de ferred fpr information. Bills of City Attorney Bellamy, for extra appear ance in certain suits were also deferred for further Information. The bills amount to $190 aa follows: City vs. Worth in dray badge suit, $25; Hull en vs. City, $100.00; expenses to Raleigh in election matter during May, $15, and professional services therein, $50. The appropriation of $500 by the Aldermen for the building of accom modations for Summer excursionists was deferred for further information as to locality, cost, etc HEAVY CARGO OF ROSIN. Perhsps Larfest Ever CUarcd from Wll snlsftoa oa SalUsg Craft A Brig Askore Schooner Arrives. The Norwegion barque 4lKotka", 857 tons, Capt Erlksen, cleared yes terday for London with perhaps the largest cargo of rosin for foreign ex port ever shipped from Wilmington on a sailing craft; certainly the largest during the past six or eight years. 8 he carried 9,586 barrels, valued at $18, 061 and consigned by Messrs. Peterson, Downing Sc Co. to parties in London, Eag. The ususl csrgoes on barques from Wilmington range from 3.000 to 6,500 barrels but the "Kotka" broke the record with about twice the aver age consignment The same veasel was here in June last year and carried the next largest cargo 9,550 barrels, consigned by Murchlson & Co. The vessel went down the river yeaterdsy drawing 19 feet 10 inches of water. The large four-masted schooner "Bradford a French," 968 tons, Ospt. Rogers, arrived yesterday from Phila delphia and will receive a cargo of cross ties for Boston from the B. F. Keith Co. Telegrams from Southport yester day brought news to tug boat ownera that an unknown brig was reported ashore on Frying Pan shoals. Later a telegram stated that the brig had float ed without assistance and was on her wsy in. She subsequently proved to be the brig "Sullivan," 295 tons, Capt. McNeil, bound to Wilmington for cargo. She arrived at anchor at South- port at 8 P. M. She sustained no damage whatever by grounding. Bid TEMPERANCE MEETINQ TO-NIGHT. Delegates Bsck from Stste Cosvestloo. Address by Rev. W. M. Vises.

DURHAM SUN'S COMMENT. Commercial Present and Future of North ' Carolina's Chief Seaport Interest tally Treated in an Editorial. ! Oh Vast Resonrces, Etc. ; Editor J. A. Robinson, of the Dur ham Sun, who attended the Press con vention at Wrlghtsvllle last week, writes of Wilmington in his editorial columns as follows: "Every visit made to Wilmington' reveals the fsct that our hospitable city on the Cape Fear, ia developing in. Importance and making improve ments Inst tend to give her great Im portance as a Southern port. This is gratifying to North Carolinians, who have a patriotic pride in the growth and progress of every section of our Btate. "Mr. Iredell Meares, an exceeding ly talented and affable member of the Wilmington bar, delivered the address of welcome to the editors at Wrights- ville Beach, at their recent meeting. and in behalf of the Chamber of Com merce, and the people of Wilmington, it was a real pleasure to hear his words of encoursgement, and his facts and figures on the volume of business done at that port were as interesting as they were as tonishing to those who had not given the matter more careful attention. A great future is ahead of Wilmington, and her climate and advantages are year by year being recognized in an ever widening circle. The fact that Wilmington does a business of $32,- 000,000 a year was a surprise to many and a very gratifying surprise. .This port annually exports 320,000 bales of cotton and does a cotton business of $15,000,000 a year. In the matter of trucking, the one item of strawberries alone, in a radlua of eighty miles, de veloped the fact that 5,000,000 crates were shipped, and there was dis tributed among the growers $750,000 a season. Tne city Is tne neadquartera of a great railway system the Atlan tic Uoast Lilne one or tbe most mag nificent financial institutions in the country. It is also the terminus of the Seaboard Air Line, another splen did road, which will eventually have a coaling station at Southport. "The condition ol the water at the bar on the Cape Fear 27 feet at low tide and from 23 to 23 feet In tne chan nel between Wilmington and the sea gives a most gratifying outlook for a vast amount of business. Tbe trucking business in that section is said to be in its infancy, and Is yearly growing In Importance. The people are fast beginning to realize the possi bilities within their reach for a great active and prosperous community, and the years to come will give Wil mington and her various Summer re- aorta a place in tbe front ranks of a grand community of commercial in terests. The city and its tributary waters are full of historic lore which is weaving itself into the warp and wool of a busy, active commercial fabric. Her people are patriotic and hospitable to a marked degree. Her climate, it haa been demonstrated, is the most salu brious this side of New Orleans, and possesses manyxf the elements of that of Florida. It is a grand old city, with grand people, and it is a source of pride to every native or the State to see tne seaside city coming up tne pathway of progress and pushing her self in the forefront of commercial Im portance a place she should have held years ago. "The Sun finds great pleasure in visiting Wilmington occasionally and mingling with her people, and witness ing tbe developments she makes along all lines. It Increases our pride In the historic place." PRETTY WEDDINQ LAST NIGHT. Miss Jsnie Parrow Wedded by Mr. John Johnston at 9 O'clock.

The following from the Mobile Register will serve to throw additional light upon the scheme to manufacture paper pulp from the refuse product of saw mills, which has been discussed from time to time in these columns: "In every saw mill cutting on aver age 100,000 feet of lumber a day there Is a minimum of twenty-five tons of waste a day that is burned in the slab fire. The majority of the Southern saw mills are situated on the banks of some stream where logs may be trans ported at a minimum of expense. "Each saw mill of the yellow pine section In the South sawing 75,000 feet daily and situated on a running stream of aoft water can introduce a paper pulp mill averaging from 25 to 50 tons dally capacity and they can absolute ly figure on 20 tons a day, at a cost of not over $1 per ton. This would be the cost of pulplfylng the slabs, saw dust and refuse matter. In the course cf its logging operations this material would nof cost more than $1.25 per ton. Paper pulp at the very outside would cost $6 per ton placed on the cars, and the lowest grades are now worth St cents a pound, showing a fine profit all from what Is now a waste In the yellow pine industry."
