Bellamy, Esq., attorney for J. W. England, a large genk' fur nishing dealer of New York, late yea terday afternoon caused to ba Issued from the office of the Clerk of the Su perior Court la tbk city, summons In a ease asking for the appointment of a receiver for the Fisbbkte Clothing Company, of Wilmington, which was recently forced to sell lk stock and go out of business because of lk Inability to rent asulteble store in which to continue. Mr. Bellamy left last night for Raleigh to lay the complaint be fore Judge Peebles, holding Superior Court there, and to secure the ap pointment of a temporary receiver and get an order citing the defendant com pany to appear at the term to be neid here OcL 19th and show cause why such receiver should not be made per manent. Tbe complaint makes the usual allegations as to Insolvency, etc, aad cities the recent sale of the entire Block to B. & B. Solomon, of thla city, aaaa evidence thereof. The amount of the claim represented by Mr. 1 Bel lamy k $349.28 bol he kuea la behalf of all others who may come In and be come parties plaintiff to the action. The Board of Aldermen was in ses sion only about an hour last night. The proceedings consisted chiefly of the transaction of routine business, each as hearing committee and de partmental reports, granting the usual licenser, etc. AU members were present, .viz : Mayor Springer, pre siding; Aldermen Z. E Murrell, J. A. wrtrP.hoTlSwFeliey; P. QTMbtw, a Behrends. W. H. Yopp, F. E. Hs hagen, W. E. Yopp, M. G. Tiencken and W. P. Gafford. Ex-Judge E. Ki Bryan was present in ' the absence of City Attorney Bellamy, who was called to Raleigh yesterday on profes sional business. The BSard came to order at 8:15 o'clock, and after reading the minutes of preceding meet ings, committees were called. Chairman W. H. Yopp, of the Fi nance Committee, reported that no re port was ready aa to offer of compro mise of back taxes of Mrs. Mitt Moore on a bask of 50 per cent. Chairman Sweeney reported sanita ry conditions good. Chairman Tiencken reported the rental of the public markets, the amount received having been $3,016 rents and 1455 premium; total, $2,471. Three stalls heretofore vacant were rented thi year increasing the fixed amount $19.25. An Increase of $66 in premiums was also secured, making a total gain of $85.25. Mr. Tiencken was complimented upon the excellent show ing made. Chairman Hashagen said the arc lights had improved considerably aud, in response to Inquiry from Mr. Gafford, that he had repeated promises that the extra lighk to be installed gratuitously would be forthcoming very soon. AldermanJJweeney reported for the Streets and Wharves Committee, that Contractor Dock would deliver, rock from thequsrry for repair purposes to day; that it would be the policy of the committee to restore all streets before making new permanent improve ments. He explained the delay in getting parte for repair of the quarry machinery and begged the Indulgence of the public a short while longer. In response to inquiry from Mr. Beh rends he said he thought the quarry would be in full operation by the mid dle of the month; the supply imme diately available doesn't have to go through the crusher and is for repair work. Alderman W. H. Yopp sup plemented Mr. Sweeney's remarks by saying tbat Contractor Dock had 25 men at work at the quarry and would deliver daily in the future 80 or 40 tons of repair material until the quarry is in full operation. The committee had recently had the "fish" alley at Front atreet market paved and had laid 430 feet of drainage from Water and 'Walnut streets to the river at a cost of $125, the pipe having been fur nished by the A. O. L , and the repair work having relieved the flooded con dition of those premises during rainy weather. Permission had been given the O. R., L. & P. Co. to extend a switch at Ninth and Orange streeto Into the company's yards there, the effect being to facilitate tbe handling and to relieve the congestion of cars on Princess street. Mr. Yopp also re ported that the committee had twice called for bids for the Market atreet drainage, but that on botb oc casions the proposals were re garded as excessive and were rejected. It was the committee's idea that the city could do the work itself and save $1,000.
