Bill Posters Foniht. , Advertlaing Oar No. lof Forepaugh & Sella BrotheraV Circus which will be here Oct. 15tb, arrived yesterday from Newborn. The proximity of the dates of the two big shows touring this part of the State this year has brought on a clash between the bill posting squads who are out in ad vance and striving for supremacy in positions. Yesterday squade from both John Robinson and Forepaugh were at Newbern and the customary strong fight developed with the result that a Robinson man is reported to have . stabbed and perhaps fatally wounded a Forepaugh poster at the depot as the latter's car was about to leave for Wilmington.

Entering Saloons sod Other Places Sixth Street Brldxe Repaired Nttes. The usual monthly exhibits of de partments, reports of standing com mittees, the adoption of one or two unimportant ordinances and- the re newal of licenses to private markets for the ensuing fiscal- year., were the matters of chief interest at last night's regular- monthly: meeting ' of the Board of Aldermen. Mayor . Springer, and all tbe members of the cltyboun dl, except Alderman- Bweeney, were present. Committee reports were first called tn their order. - V v ; 5 Markets OhalrmanTieacken report ted the lease of the city markets at an increase of 896 rental and $95 premium over last year. -'Sy- '.---rv Y- -; Finance Chairman ,W. H. Yopp reported adversely upon application of Street Banking Co., for refund of taxes, and favorably upon request of Qeo. L. Morton Co., for refund of poll tax paid erroneously for two- em ployes, both of which recommenda tions were adopted by the Board. Chairman Yopp also reported that the tax books had been turned over to the Treasurer for collection, the work having been done very satisfactorily. Lights Chairman Hashagen exhib ited.16 police reports of 18 arc lights out during the month and favored a system of fines against the company for fail ure to comply with contract. In a die cussion which followed a majority of the members appeared to favor some method of deducting from the contract price for lights not burning, but the difficulty of arriving at the loss by the city was suggested. Alderman Beb rends said he thought the lighting was very good and he had heard no com plaint from citizsns affected by the alleged poor service. The chief of police was requested to Instruct the patrolmen In the future to make re port not only of lights that were out, but the length of time each light failed to burn, as far aa possible. Streets and Wharves Alderman W. H. Yopp made a very exhaustive re port of the work being done on the streets. The completion of Dock from Third to Ninth and the macadamizing of the same from Second to Third aa a temporary expedient was reported; also the work now being . done on " Fourth, be tween Dock and Chesnut. The block on Dock, between Fifth and Bixtb, will be recrowned later. A drain of 100 feet had been laid on Green street near the tobacco warehouse. The committee hoped to begin work at Front and Church, going south, this week. -During September 2,300 tons of material or about 90 tons per work ing day had been used from the quar ry and three carts had been kept re nairlne streets dally. Sixth atreet bridge, which was in a very danger oua condition for several months, had been repaired at a cost of about $350, whereas the lowest bid of three con tractors consulted waa more than $500. The hand atreet sweeper re cently purchased was doing as much work much more , economically than the large sweeper, and in the near fu ture the committee would ask for au thority to purchase another. Mr. Yopp read a resolution requiring all persons or cornorations excavating in the streets to restore those streets and keep them in repair for 60 days under penalty of being : debarred from further permit to excavate and paying the coat of having same restored by the city In case of default, The resolution went over to the next meeting for further consideration. Fire Chairman Moore reported the sale of an old horse for $56 and recom mended passage of an ordinance rela tive to firemen to be offered later by the proper committee. ! Public Building Chairman Murrell reported the repairs to the Hook and Ladder station complete and read three bids for building the boiler room for the Academy of Music heating plant- Skipper &Rountree, $135; J.

The ordinance was adooted. -' - " ' '-' Chairman Gafford also introduced n nA miiM.- recommended and en dorsed ' by the Fire - Commission, amending the : ordinance of July, iftni. TftlatiTe' to? the restriction-of frame structures to certain sections of the city and adding a proviso that buildings may be erected on wharves of the city by permission of the tJoara of Aldermen, the same to be not more than 24 feet high, the roof and aides to ba covered with alate, metal or t. nd that the location of such, WILMINGTON, N. C. TUESDAY, OCTOBER -4, .sb'! less than two feet property line of the abutting property and that all openings on or near the property . line shall be pro vided with standard fire proof abutters. Alderman Hashagen favored a delay in passing : the latter ordinance, the building being erected by Oapt. Har per at the foot of Market atreet being taken as aease In point. Herbert Mc- Clammy, Esq., counsel for Oapt. Har per, spoke In favor of the amendment and Mr. Hashagen being assured that the passage of the act would in no wise increase the Insurance rate, he withdrew his objection and the ordi nance passed unanimously, with the addition of the words that 'all tin or metal on such buildings contemplated in the resolution should be subject to inspection by the 1.

The jail yard presented a scene very much like that about train time at one of the big union passenger stations, yester day afternoon when Superintendent Shearin and a force of guards came to take the prisoners out to the stockade at Castle Haynes to begin their sen tences. Wives, mothers, 'sisters, brothers, and sweethearts from the colored copulation gathered at the jail entrance dressed in their finest. and as the prisoners filed out with much cv irting and gusto, they bade their friends a farewelLmuch like the white population would bid adieu to a straw- ride party.

Fooled Higher fonrt Jndfe bat Mayer Sprisfer Said "Sliy" Yesterday. About the allckeat proposition the Mayor ever went up agalnat is Parson Thompson, colored, who faced HIa Honor oh a charge of vagrancy yester day at noon in the police court and was sent to the roads for 30 days. Parson Is the voluble negro who liter ally talked his way out of the Court House Saturday and temporarily gain ed his liberty to the chagrin of Judge Moore, who was so favorably Im pressed that he yielded to the negro'a plea that all he wanted to raise a fine imposed on him in the Superior Court for an offence previous to that one yes terday was to "git his feet on de ground an' k'lect de money dat was comin to him." Judge Moore, knowing noth ing of Parson's predilection for lying, and having an abiding faith in the sin cerity of his speech, allowed him to go upon promise to return at once with the cash. Parson never returned and Judge Moore confessed to members of the bar at the adjournment of court that he had been fooled. Parson was picked up Sunday night by the police In the northern part of the city. Yesterday the negro was confronted not only with the charge of vagrancy but also with two additional warrants from Justice Fowler, another from Justice Bornemann anda capias from the Su perior Court. He made the same plea of wanting to "git. hisj feet on de ground," but. Mayor Springer hap pened to be over at the Court House Saturday when the "parson" succeeded so adroitly in pulling the wool over Judge Moore's eyes and ' the plea availed him hot. - . - r REGISTRATION NEXT THURSDAY.

State Press Notices of To-aiint's lifrac uoa. j ne jumare er tMVtr 7 ' From the press notices given- "Hap py Hooligan," which will be present In all its merriment to-night at the Academy, the company and perform ance must be superb. Sunday's Ra leigh News & Observer pays high com pliment to both , and last Friday's Winston Sentinel says: . "The laughter and applause that greeted the performance of "Happy Hooligan" . at the Auditorium last night were all that the company could have desired. The people were pleased with f Vi A aT,MlaBBj ltU n.au .ub iuu rr ciiaGU tt l.u iud tuny which was of the broad farcial order pleased with the swift action, the songs,, the, dancing and the - pretty chorus girls In pretty costumes doing pretty drills. The exhibition of en thusiasm was at times uproarious, ac counted for In part by the presence of a number of children in the audience and they greeted 'Happy' as an old friend. "Mr. Frank McNish, who won the International .championship . several years ago as the originator of . the ac robatic turn known as "Silence and Fun," was Happy Hooligan and made a humorous one. He met the requirements of the part. The Irish lady and the Irish gentlemen were good and aang particularly well, while the tough girl was as graceful a dan cer as one sees in a long time. Other characters were well taken." "Marriage of Kitty" The most promising amusement announcement for the near future Is that of the com ing of the brilliant semi-musical corn edy, "The Marriage of Kitty," to the Academy, Saturday evening, with those favorite comedians, Bettina Ger ard and Max Figman, in the lead ing roles of Katherine Silverton, otherwise known as "Kitty," and Sir Reginald Belaize. Bettina Gerard's beautiful singing to her own accom paniment baa been pronounced every where as one of the most attractive features of the performance. This charming artiste's many successes as the prima donna of the most cele brated comic opera productions dur ing the laat ten years will be generally remembered, and Manager Jules Mur ry hits given the comedy an unusually attractive and spectacular setting, an exact duplicate of tbe one so much admired during the long run this at traction enjoyed at the New York Hudson Theatre last season, when the New York News said: "Everyone will want to see It. It Is tbe best cure for blues offered New Yorkers in I years.' SHOW COMES IN TO-MORROW. Work of UBlaadisf Roblosoa Circus Will Reqnlre Three Hoodred Men.
