The matter of the $300. appro priatlone for' extenaioa Of the water main along Orange atreet to Eighth, and the $500 appropriation for provi ding conveniences for 8ummer excur sionists were deferred for further la vestigatlon.

There were also In attendance Mayor Bpringer, City Attorney Bellamy and Aldermen Tiencken, Bebrends, Haahsgen and Murrell Official notice of Ue proceedings of the Board of Aldermen, so far as they concerned "the Finance Board, was given In a communication from the City Clerk and Treasurer. Mr. Murrell referred to the call upon the Public Building Committee to do aomething la Ue way of provid Ing accommodation for Bummer ex eursionlats and 'said Uat heretofore Ue Board had refused to concur In the Aldermanie appropriation of $500 to provide a place for the visitors.

Ia regard toUe $350 for repair of tbaroad roller. Mayor Springer said Ust an expert opinion was that the machinery only needed more steam power; that It had been partially ruined by being ' used aa a atatlonary engine at the rock quarry; that aimiiar rollera were la service la Raleigh and Goldsboro and the one here could be put to good use, if re paired. The appropriation with that of $500 for repairing Ue rock quarry machinery according to terms of Ue proposed contract with Mr. Door, was approved anaaimonsiy. . Messrs. Bebrends. Tiencken ana Hashsgea each spoke In advocacy of the $300 appropriation for the exten sion of Ue wster mala oa Orange from sixU to elghU street. It was argued that property oa Uat thorough fare badreoeotly beeo much increased la value for taxatloa; that while the pipe became' the property of The water company upon the expiration or toe lease eight years hence, tne benefits ia Ue meantime would warrant Ue ex penditure, and property owners in Uat section hsd a right to expect ade- aaate protection. After farther dis cussion, aU agreed It would bo best to defer action for farther Information. Mr. J. T. King, of Ue Atlantic Coast Line, wss present aad presented a small claim for demurrage oa ears of material for street Improvement, but by consent, action waa deferred.

Bun- day while Neill Freeman who lives nesr Kingsdale, was at church four negroes hailed at his gate and acted in such a manner as to greatly alarm his daughter, who sent her little brother n haste for herlfatber, the churCb be ing only a short dlstanceway. Mr. Freeman came at once, got his gun and shot at the negroes,'; who had gone down the road a short distance. Mr. Freeman shot but once, but made a good shot and hit all four of the ne groes. . Tne snot were small ana omy served to teach the negroes good esson. Eariv reports of the shooting were very much distorted and. caused much excitement in Lumberton. Sheriff MeLeod arranged for a special engine and car which came from Hamlet. stopped at MapKon, took Mayor J. O. Parish,and Deputy Sheriff T. L. Smith, with their bloodhounds and brought them to Lumberton where they were met by the Carolina Northern train and carried at once to Kingsdale. Before the hounds ' were placed on the track, however, Freeman had Capt. McNeely to call the sheriff, and stated that to put Ue hounds on the track would cause serious trouble; Uat he knew who did the shooting and he would have him at trial Mon day or at any date. that might be fixed. This was not satisfactory, and Mr. Freeman being told that the man must be known, said: "lam the man." He was at once taken under arrest by the sheriff and placed under a justified bond of $500 for his appearance' to--morrow for trial. Hatch's Big Excursion.
