of Cruelty to Convicts
REGULAR' MEETING " HELD
Sensational ; Paper Gone Over Care
fully and Several Important Orders
Passed Relative Thereto Other
t Prpceed i n gs - of BoardT -
The Board of CJounty Commission- :
ers will-ineet in special session at the
Court House to-morrow jnornin&. at
10:30 o'clock for the purpose of in,
yestigatlng . thoroughly thai portion
of the grand jury's -report; at last
dealing wfOf;the "alleged vcrueity"td
convicts at the county . stockade- at
Castle Haynes. The inquiry!; however,
will not touch upon the charge, as to
Foreman -Hocutt as. the public pre
sentment in the report of ithe grand
jury takes that matter Into the court,
relieving , the County Commissioners
of any burden of investigation..
The report of the grand jury came
officially to the attention of the Board
of - Commissioners at its . regular
monthly meeting yesterday afternoon
and"" after some discussion, the action
recited above was taken. If necessary
the Commissioners will visit Castle
Haynes in a body to pursue the in
quiry to : the. fullest extent. When
the report as to cruelty was read . by
Chairman ; McEachern at .r the Board
meeting yesterday, several members
made the point that an investigation
by a granoV jury -is always on behalf
of the State or the prosecution that
being the ' ordinary method of proceedings.-:
Superintendent Shearin,
whom the grand-jury , recommended
be severely reprimanded, had asked
for an opportunity to defend himself
and the Board was unanimously of the
opinion that he should be heard with
any witnesses he may have to testify
has to his official integrity- It was
ordered that Mr. Shearin be notified
of -the-time. and place of! thfifurther
inquiry' and he will be present Wed
nesday morning.
In this - connection Commissioner
Wm. F." Robertson offered the follow
ing which was seconded by Commis
sioner Vollers, viz: . - .
, "It shall be the duty of the super
intendent of the convict camps to to
keep a true and accurate record of all
whippings administered ( to convicts,
the name of convict, the date, cause
for which punishment was made and
name of guard or foreman administer,
ing the punishmenL"
Chairman McEachern said Superin
tendent Shearin had already provided
himself with a record book for that
very purpose, but he was glad to have
the matter go on the books as an offl
cial act of the County Commissioners.
The order was unanimously - passed.
Commissioner Robertson next offered
the following
; "The body of no convict, person in
mstody of the county, or county
charge, shall be buried before the
county physician shall have examined
same, and should the death appear to
have been in any way sudden or un
usual, the said official shall at once
notify the -coroner. In every case of
illness and resultant death, full and
detailed report shall be made, to the
Board of County Commissioners.
It was explained that practically
the .same regulations as outlined in
the above order now obtain at the
camp, but it was the unanimous opin
ioiTof the Board that a formal order
to that effect should be made and
rigidly enforced. The resolution was.
thenunanimously carried..
" Taking up other recommendations
of the grand jury, .it was decided that
the proposed room for the grand, jury
upstairs is not sufficiently large and
besides the sittings of the body so
near the court , room would interfere
with the regular -proceedings In the
main court room.
As to the typewriter for the Clerk
of the Superior Court, the Commis
sioners took the ground that the. of
fice was one supported by fees and it
was not proper for the county to pur
chase: a machine for that officer lt
was expressed as the opinion that the
Commissioners would be liable to in
dictment if an appropriation for .that
purpose iwere made.
It was found impracticable to build
an enclosed passage, way from the
jail to the Court House, but upon mo
tion of Commissioner Divine, it was
ordered that in the. future the sheriff
have prisoners brought .In through
the county enclosure and up the back
steps of the Court House instead of
around by-the street, in contact with
the public, as heretofore.
With reference to the separation of
conicts at the camp, it was stated
that the recommendation of the jury
Is impracticable r that it is done in no
other county in the State nor in the
penitentiary; that it would cost f 1,000
extra for guard service. -The convicts
are now --given separate Sleeping ac
commodations in the same room but
to build partitions would bring about
a much greater, expense for ' guard
duty. . ':: , v .
Telephones at ; the County Home
and at thi road convict camp were al
ready 'being put in when the grand
jury recommended the same.
Bids for i county supplies are "now
called for annually., and contracts so
awarded as far as possible. Accounts
of county officials are now audited re
gularly by ther County Commissioners
in . lieu of an . expert accountant as
recommended. ...The county . physician
is already carrying out the recommen
dations of. the juryas to frequent vis
its to the convict camps and County
Home. The jmatter -df ; the corrugated
iron ceiling In the. jail Was referred
to the Public Building Committee. As
to the oell for & certain insanQ patient
atthe 'County Home,'It was stated by
Chairman Divine, of the committee in
charge," that a contract had already
been made for a "concrete lined-tcel
for the prisoner,
v. The Commissioners expressed them-
seles -as highly favorable" to the Idea
of a Recorder's Court, a recommend,
ed br the jury, and steps to' establish
one. in this county will no doubt be
taken by the, next session of the
General Assembly. " 1 v: - -.

to the State under the - same condi

adopted as a permanent encampment
site for the white troops of the State.
The site with additional lands that
may be bought and a cash cbnsidera-

tion will be offered through the Mer-

bid for the encampment site, pursu-
ant to the invitation for proposals re.
cently published by Adjutant General
Robertson- Mr. Cooper, Mr. Worth
and others of the delegation spoke of
the great advantages of the perma
nent camo site here and the resolu
tion or ordinance, tendering the land
on Summer Rest was unanimously
adopted by the Board upon motion of
Alderman Moore.
Application of Supt. R. L. Thomas,
of the Wilmington Cotton Mills, to
lay a sidetrack to the mill; down Daw
son street, was referred to the Streets
and Wharves Committee with power
to act
Wm. J. Bellamy, Esq., attorney for
Wesley Mitchell, colored,' a huckster
at Front street market, asked the
Board to provide an extra stand for
him among the others that were re
cently rented there. Chairman King,
of the Market Committee, explained
that one reason the stands rented so
weii the Dast week was because the
I number had been made ; limited and
he thought it unjust to 1 the present
tenants, Vho had paid high premiums,
to add competition now. ! The matter
was -reierrea to tne MarKet uommu-
tee with power to . act. v
Upon recommendation, of Chairman
W. H. Yopp, of the Finance Commit.
tee, it was found impractical to re
duce- the license on private markets
as the tax ordinance had already been
made up for the current fiscal year
and it was. not deemed j advisable to
chancre the same at present Later
in the meetine aDDlication for re-
newal of license was read from all
the private market owners and the
applications were granted.
An exhaustive typewritten report
of the Streets and Wharves, signed by
Chairman O'Brien, was read by Alder
man W- H. Yopp. Wharves at foot
of Market street and below the mar
ket house -were repaired during the
month ; temporary . repairs were also
made to the bridge over the S. A. L.
J tracks on North Fourth street but ul-
timately it was expressed as the in.
tentlon of the authorities to have an
iron or 'steel structure; placed there
by the railroad company. A concrete
sidewalk has been laid in front of the
new. market house by the Cape Fear
Paving and Construction Co., - at
i cost of $1.35 per square yard or $145
J for the complete work, j' Glavin Bros
the contractors, stated; that tne re
pairs to the machinery at the city
rock quarry will be completed by Oc
tober 15th. It will then require 10
or 12 days to pump the water out
of the .quarry but the committee
hopes to have material on the street
by the last of the present month. One
block and .a half of th$ .North Fourth
street paying has been laid and the
I construction of a drain made neces
sary by the pavement. City Engi
neer " Matthew was present and sub.
mitted -a .map of the proposed .drain
tge which he explained. The water
from the railroad bridge to Brunswick
street would be carried down., the
latter street, to the river but. beyond
NixOa-to Fifth, with the same pipe
1 thence, from Fifth to ; Sixth with 18
inch Dipe and thence, to Howard street
emptying into a natural drain with-24-
1ECU Dipe uaiu nuuu, uieuve uuu
Smith's creek.' Mr." Matthew thought
he drainage -could" be done for $2,400
by I contract or a little - less by - the
city's supervision. Taking the water
that way instead of to the river, he
thought,' had the. added advantage of
draining all that section ofBrooklyn
j and taking npff an overflow of water
4 that came down the Finn street maca-
dam.' Mr.: Johnson," who investigated
the conditions there,! took issue with
ithe City Engineer and said the wa.
ter could be taken -off downNixon
Street to a natural drain and . on down
to the river at a cost not to exceed
$800, in his opinion. Later the drain
age of the other street couId.be look
ed' after when necessity required it.
He was opposed to, spending $2,500 or
more .when $800 or less would sufficfe
Mr. Moore asked what the city engi
neer was for if not to advise the Board
oh such matters and took Mr.- John
son tc" task for interposing hia views
against those" of - the city engineer
and m6ved to refer to the Streets and
Wharves Committee with "power to
act; seconded by Mr. Rathjen. Mr.
Johnson moved as a substitute that

The committee was authorized to
proceed with the pavmg of Grace
street, from Water to the river front.
Bids- for Belgian block, ranging from
ZS to $47.50 per thousand with $15
additional . for freight have been re
ceived for that work.- ' -.
Mr. D. L. Gore, one of the abutting
property owners, having refused more
than an 18-foot roadway - on Water
street, the Board" rescinded Its action
looking to the paving of that, section
of the thoroughfare, from Orange to
Nun street, unless " a 30Joot way is
given the city. All. the other proper
ty owners interested . are understood
to have agreed to a sufficiently wide
street, Mr. "Gore "being the only ex
ception. It was stated that the Mayor had
notified 27 property owners in the
down town section that they must
repair their sidewalks at once or ac
tion would be taken against them,
pursuant to - the new law constitut
ing a lien uponjhe property for the
work.
An extra appropriation of $140 for
extra repairs to the machinery-at the
rock quarry was voted.
The matter of compensation for the
city engineer was referred to the:
Streets and Wharves Committee with
power to act.
Alderman Karr stated that at the
last meeting in figuring up the assess
ment against the Fourth street prop,
erty owners for their proportionate
part of the vitrified brick pavement'
there, the rate had. been made $1.00
per square yard as the difference be
tween the cost of Macadam and brick
as stipulated In the law. It was evi-
dent to evervbodv that the rate was I
too -high and he moved a reconsider-1
ation and the fixing of the rate at 60
cents per square yard or $1 per front
foot. The matter was referred to the
Streets and Wharves Committee with
power to act.
Mr. Karr said further that the law
stated that amounts paid back by
property owners as their proportion-
ate share of the cost of improvement
should be expended in further per-
manent improvements. There would
be $6,000 or $7,000 coming back to
the city from the Fourth street pav-
ing and he suggested, later putting It
in. the form of a motion, which was
seconded by Mr. Moore, that the the. Water Committee was progress

favored including Dock, between Chairman Price offered an ordi-
Front and Second. Mr. Johnson, bit-
terly opposed the .'proposition saying
there was work to be done in Fifth
ward and that it was a crying shame
nothing had been done to Seventh
street where curbing had already
been laid, and on Eighth street be--
tween Princess and Chesnut and be-
tween Market and Dock where a num -
ber of handsome residences had been
recently hunt. Mr. Johnson said the
money that came back from property
owners , could be used for macadam
as well as brick, for he" believed the
Supreme Court would hold that one
was as much a permanent improve
ment as the other. Alderman W. E.
Yopp poured oil on the troubled wa.
ters by getting a motion through, re
ferring the whole matter to the Streets
arid Wharves Committee to
back to the Board.
