LAYT0N COMPANY ENGAGED.
The Committee at First Divided, Bnt Una-

The joint committee from Jeff

, V , "7, , .7.
f whanlca, of this city, held an-
fit nets nrtsaenf I via vekaataavflaw el ft: nrvn Aftf
other meeting yesterday at noon and
decided positively to give a street fair
and carnival in Wilmington this Fall,
the exact date to be determined this
week ; probably to-morrow.
There was strenuous objection 'upon
the committee to the carnival ides, but
those with an ear still attuned to the
sou sic of tbetquedunck and a linger
ing taste for confetti, finally triumph
ed in a vote of six to four. Two mem
ber, of the committee, Messrs. J. F.
Woolrin and W.L. Coney,, the former
opposed and-the latter favorable to
lie csrniva', were absent, but had
paired on the qutstion, so that Mr.
Woolviu'i vote counted '?, nay,
Pauline," while that of Mr. Coney's
was counted in the sffirmatire. Mr.
Wool Tin was appointed on the com
mittee by George Washington Council
in the absence of Mr. C. B. Anderson,
who could not serve on account of
other business. The vote of the en
tire :committee stood as follows: For
the carnival. Dr. J. 1. Webster,
Messrs. Jno. E. Wood, W. L. Coney,
W. EL Yopp, A. J. Hewlett and J. T.
Barke. Against, Messrs. James F.
Woolvin, O. L. Spencer, William J.
Bellamy, Esq. and Dr. M. H. P. Clark.
A subsequent motion to make the
committee's decision unanimous was
carried, all those present voting In the
affirmative, Mr-Edmonds, of the Lay
ton Fireworks and Carnival Ca, now
exhibiting In Durham, waa then heard
as to the merits of his attraction and
with other information In the hands
of the committee, a contract with him
to bring bis shows here was Imme
diately signed. The date of the Wil
mington Carnival will be either the
week or Oct. 19-24 or Oct. 28-31, most
probably the latter. Tte matter will
will be definitely decided upon receipt
aa m 1 a
a telegram from sur. camonai to
morrow. The Junior Order cf United Amer
ican Mechanics, while not under any
thing like as large a guarantee as
other lodges which have held carnivals
here, will nevertheless lneur consi
derable expense, but no eaavass of the
business house for subscriptions will
be made. However, any voluntary
contributions will be thankfully re
ceived. The committee meeting yesterday
waa presided over by Mr. Jno. E.
Wood and Dr. J. D. Webster kept the
Mrnrdi a aaerfltarv. After the car
nival had been decided upon at the
meeting, William J. Bellamy, Esq.,
waa unanimously elected permanent
chairman over his protest and Mr.
jno. EL "Wood waa elected secretary.
At first it was believed that Mr. Bel
lamy would serve s chairman, but he
stated last night that other buaineaa
would nosltlvely prevent hla doing so
and that at the meeting Monday he
would Insist upon being relieved of the
chairmanship.
Before deciding upon giving the
contract to the Lay ton people yester
day, the following exchange of tele
grams took place between Messrs.
Wood and Bellamy, of thla dty, and
Mr. Thos. B. Edwards, a prominent
