Formal Call Will be Issaed Soon For Special , School Tax Election in May. MISAPPREHENSION OF RATE Will Not Require Maximum Named in Act Resolution of. Appreciation of Sheriff's Record Exhibit of Needle Work. Atth'e regular meeting of the Coun ty Board of Education on Monday" af ternoon at the office of the Superin tendent at the Court House, a very satisfactory conference was held with Chairman D. McEaohem, of the Board of Commissioners, preparatory to is suing the formal call for thd. election on a special tax for the support of the schools of the county on May 21st. The conference was especially with reference to the proposed rate Of the special tax, it being pointed out that an incrase of 15 cents on the $100 val uation and 45 cents on- the poll would not be' required to raise the $18,000 nee ded by the schools, though the special act by the Legislature autho rizes an mount that high. It is ex pected that about half of that rate will be required anfd the issue will go to the people In a very much more fa vorable light on this account. The idea the Board meant to convey to the Commissioners in requesting the elec tion was "not exceeding 15c on the $100 valuation and 45c on the poll," leaving the Commissioners to deter mine what -levy would be required in side that amount to provide sufficient revenue for the schools. This matter is now under consideration and . the Board has planned an active campaign in "favor of the special tax which will be undertaken between now and the election. - There, were present at the meeting Monday Chairman George Rountree and Messrs Wm. H. Sprunt, Donald Mac Ra-a and Superintendent Catlett, of the present Board; Messrs. Jas. H. Chadbourn and John H. Han by, of the incoming Boardr and County Treasur er H. McL. Green. The report of the latter showed a? sufficient amount of money on han'd for completing the full Spring term of the schools, the tax collections this year having been un usually good, the Board having ex pressed its appreciation of the phe nomenal record of Sheriff S. P. Cowan in this" regard by the unanimous adop tion of the following resolution, a copy of which was forwarded to Sher iff Cowan: "Resolved: That the Board of Edu cation of New Hanover County desires to put on record this, acknowledgement of its high appreciation of the faith ful, efiicient and Vdeeply gratifying work of Sheriff S. P. Oowan and his able assistants in so successfully col lecting the taxes of last year; as to assist this Board In giving the child ren of the city and county a full term of the public, schools for this year." The Board was much gratified at an exhibition of needle work done in the colored school at Masonboro Sound, Of which Theresa Peirce, of Wilming ton, is principal. The BoardT commend ed the work done at this school and the interest nd efficiency of the teacher. There being no further business, the Board adjourned subject to call of the chairman.

C WE STEAMER "WIlfflNfiTON" Just Off Ways After Overhauling, Re painting and General Repairs. - Outlook For Season at Car olina Beach Bright. As bright and as pretty and as staunch as she was when she came from the yards of her builders not many years ago, the steam-sr "Wilming ton is just off the ways at Skinner's marine railway where during the past three . weeks she has undergone a thorough overhauling and repainting from stem to stern preparatory to the Summer season soon to open on the "placid waters of the historic Cape Fear." . ( The steamer came up to hr wharf at foot of Market street yesterday af ternoon and excited jnuch admiration from those along the water front about that hour. She will resume her regu lar schedule to Southport today with the morning trip. While the steamer was on the ways, her bottom was thor oughly cleaned and a heavy coat of paint added. The engine and boiler has been thoroughly overhauled, many new parts and fittings were added and the machinery put in as good condi tion as" when new, the contract having been with the Wilmington Iron Works. The superstructure and saloons on both decks have been beautifully fin ished in pure white and trimmed in the regulation colors, the decorative woods being all handsomely, reoiled and revarnlshed. . The work was all done and most artistically done by Wilmington workmen, a fact which Captain John W. Harper, the ownsr, refers to with special pride. A pret tier job could not have been done in any paint shops on the Atlantic coast. CaptainjHarper, after taking a survey of the steamer from the wharf after she tied up yesterday afternoon, said if there was. anything more he .could do to her, he would like tg know, but he could think of nothing. She Is in deed "a thing of beauty and a joy for ever." , The steamer will begins, her Sum mer schedule on May 20th and the season on the river and at Carolina B-saeh promises to be a gay one. Not only has the steamer been placed in order f or ' the Tnau-TrratlOfi- of the" sea son, but since last August Captain Harper has had a force of workmen rebuilding the Carolina B-cach pier and trestle, which are now in readi ness. The cars of the beach railway have all been repainted and repaired and the track improved the entire length of the point. The hotel at the beach has also been overhauled and improved and will be leased for the season within a few days. Captain Harper has prepared for a great sea son on the river and at the beach and thre is no indication of any waning 01 tne popularity of this1 splendid Sum mer amusement. DESCENDANTS OF SIGNERS.

Yesterday morning when court con vened the defendant introduced sever al witnesses both to fix the plaintiff with the knowledge of the hole in the sidewalk, into which he is alleged to have fallen and expert witnesses, in cluding Dr. E. J. Wood, as to the plaintiff's injuries. The plaintiff put on several witnesses in rebuttal, in cluding the plaintiff himself and sev eral character witnesses and then the argument was begun shortly before the dinner recess. Jos. W. Little, Esq., opened for the plaintiff, concluding his address of ..something more than an hour in the 'afternoon, his having been a remarkably strong presentation of the case and having won for him a high standing as an advocate before the jury. Mr. Little was followed by City Attorney Marsden Bellamy, who spoke a little less than an hour fn an adroit and yery clear presentation of the issue in behalf of the municipality. William "X- Bellamy, Esq., for the plaintiff, followed in an address of over an hour, which was. fully up to the high standard, ox his known abili ty for marshaling facts and - delivering I them in eloquent convincing manner. Judge Bryan's address, which will be concluded this-morning was regarded' as the strongest possible array of -the contentions of the defendant and -is manifestly having a strong impress upon the jury. , Your v money will do double . duty this- week afr Polvogt's.
