Franklin McNeill, chairman r the North Carolina Corporation Commission, was here yesterday and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon In the Mayor's office held a star-chamber conference with city and county officials and members of the General Assembly from New Hanover and this Senatorial district, presumably with reference to taxation matters. It was decided in the conference to give out absolutely nothing for publication. Present at the conference were Mayor W. E. Springer, Mr. M. W. Divine, acting chairman of the Board of County Commissioners; Mr. H. C. McQueen, chairman of the Board of Audit and Finance; Representatve elect G. J. Boney; State Senator-elect Brooke G.

CARNIVAL UNDER BAN Rumor of Movement on Foot for Mandamus to Prevent Its Coming Here, A PAPER DENOUNCES IT. Carolina Trackers' Journal Voices Sentl meat Against Proposed Street Fair by Jr. 0. U. A. M.-Hlstory of Permit from Aathoritie?. The Carolina Fruit and Truck Grow ers' Journal evidently has no stomach for the street fair and carnival as is evidenced by the following from Editor Whitehead's pen in this week's issue of that periodical under the heading 'Wilmington Wants Nothing or the Kind:" "From the morning papers we see that another effort la being made to inflict another street fair and carnival on the good people of Wilmington. For one we have always cheerfully advecated everything that would tend to the upbuilding of the city, but this street fair and carnival business has been run in the ground, and the -people of Wilmington are aick and tired with their past experiences in this line. We must confess surprise at the Board of Aldermen, with the lights of the past before them, in granting permis sion for such performances within the corporate limits of the city. Three or four years ago Wilmington had a street fair and carnival that was a credit to the community, but every- attempt since that time of a similar programme has been a dismal failure, and the de cent people from the adjoining coun ties no longer visit Wilmington on such occasions. They simply bring to town the ragmuffin brigade and a class of people in the main that require an additional poliee force to protect their homes and places of business from burglars and the torch. We under stand that the law-abiding people of the community are going to ask for a mandamus to prohibit any part of the city's streets or vacant lots from being used for any such purpoie. We hope that such action will be taken ana in ample time to nip the proposed street fair and carnival in the bud. Wil mington wants nothing ot the kind." It should be stated in justice to the Junior Order of .United American Mechanics and to the city and county authorities, who have already granted permission for the carnival to be held, that it is proposed to have the fair on a vacant lot beyond the bridge over the Carolina Central tracks, at the terminus of the street car line, and not in the city proper at all. It should be further stated that the proceeds are to be used, according to the beautiful and patriotic custom of the Junior Or der of United American Mechanics, In presenting flags and bibles to each and every public school in the county. The Board of Aldermen, after the car nival last year, adopted an ordinance forbidding the use of the streets of the city for carnival purposes in the future, and when the application this year came before that body, the Mayor suggested that the request of the Jr. O. U. A. M. could not be granted unless the ordinance of last year was repealed. It was pointed out, how ever, that it is proposed this year to use no streets of the city and, there fore, a granting of the application would not be in conflict with the reso lution of the Board cited by the Mayor. The application of the unanimously passed. "Juniors" was BIO SEABOARD EXCURSIONS. Nearly 2,000 Visitors Brought Here Within the Past Two Days. Over a thousand excursionists were brought to the city yesterday by the Seaboard Air Line on a two section train from Charlotte and Butherford ton. The first section arrived at 2:45 P. M. from Charlotte with BOO people from the Queen City and points this side, and the second section came late in the afternoon from Rutherfordton, bringing nearly 700 more.

With the big excursion from Ra leigh over the Seaboard on Wednes day, nearly two thousand strangers were here prior to the departure of thn -Rtleteh train last night at 7:30 o'clockand there was decidedly "something doing" at the Seaboard station all day long.

Reprint f an Interesting Old Map In City , Clerk and Treasurer's Office Loca tion of Public Balldlofv. City Eagineer 8. P. Adams yester day completed for the city a blue print of an old map of the town of Wilmington as it was laid out In 1733. The draft was from a rare old map which has hung for years in the office of the City Clerk and Treasurer and which was made officially nearly 200 years ago. The boundaries of the town were shown then to have been Wooster street on the south; Camp bell street on the north; the river on the west and Fifth street on the east. The principal buildings of. the town at that time are shown on the map and form an interesting study of the Colonial period. Wilmington was then popularly known as "New Town.'' The town hail was situated In the middle of Market street, where It Inter sects Second, while the-Court House stocd at the Intersection of Front and Market streets. Near the foot of the Bame street was the. public market. The Episcopal church is shown on the map to have been located on Market street, near Fourth, instead of at Third and Market streets as now. The "Academy" was located on north side of Princess, between Third and Fourth; the county jail on the site of the pres ent old Court House building; the Custom House where it now stands; St. John's lodge building at Front and Red Cross streets; the BaptUt church, on Front, between Ann and Nun streets, and the Presbyterian church on Front, between Dock and Orange. The old State bank occupied the north east corner of Front and Princess streets where the store of Mr. I. Shrier is now located . The old Cape Fear bank was on Front, between Market and Princess street. The Methodist church stood at the northeast corner of Front and Walnut streets. In addition to the reprint of the map for the city Mr. Adams made a num ber of copies which he has for sale at a reasonable figure. WITH CONFEDERATE HONORS. Remains of Late Josish Merritt Will Laid to Rest This Afternoon. be The remains of the late Joslah Mer ritt, whose death at Moultrie, Ga., on the 10th Inst, was chronicled in these columns yesterday were expected to arrive last night on the train from the South, accompanied by members of the bereaved family, but owing to some delay they will not reach here until this afternoon on the 1:45 P.M. train and from the station the funeral will probably be held with Interment in Bellevue cemetery. ... Mr. Merritt was a gallant Confed erate soldier during the civil war, having entered the service when a mere boy of 15 years of age, as a pri vate in Co. I, the Wilmington Rifle Guard. 18th N. O. Regiment. After 12 months service with that command durin? which he was present at the seven days' engagement around Rich' mond, he was honorably discharged from the company on account of his age, but he immediately re-enlisted as a member of Co. F, Second North Carolina Battalion of Cavalry, serving during the remainder of the war as courier and bugler and being present at all of its engagements. He was a member of Cape Fear Camp No. 254, U.

JAIL'S CROWDED CONDITION. Forty'five Prisoners Now Confined There With Room for Only Few More. "We have room for a few more," remarked Capt. "Bob" Capps yester day when asked about the crowded condition of the county jai). How ever, Capt. Capps made no conceal ment of the fact that within a very short time the county will have to make other arrangements for the con finement of a considerable overplus of prisoners. As stated in these col umns a few days ago, the crowded condition of the jail Is due to the long interim between the Superior Court terms, and the County Commissioners are already facing the emergency, and have msdo arrangements for the ac commodation of any overflow In the city prison . It is also not Improbable that a number of the prisoners will be sent, for confiaempnt only, to the convict stockade at Castle Haynes. There are now 45 prisoners In the jail, 15 of whom are colored females. The male population of the jail consists of 26 colored and four white prisoners. -lonthport Quarantines,' At a special meeting of the Board of Aldermen of the town-of South port, Tuesday, it was decided to estab lish a quarantine against the small pox Infected district of Brunswick county, described as being "all that territory south of Town Creek from the Green Swamp to the Cape Fear river and north of Smlthvllie town ship line from the Cape Fear river to Pinch Gut Swamp."
