Enjoyable Concert. ' The concert given last evening at Luther Memorial building under the auspices of the ladies of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran church, was an enjoyable affair and grand success.

The band is better than ever and Wilmington sliould be proud of this organization. It has been kept up by the earnest efforts of Pres ident James W.

Approval of the Contract of the Street Railway Company to Furnish Electric Llfht The Wilmington Gaslight Com pany to Famish Gas and Light the Mar kets. A conference of the board of audit and finance was held last night to con sider the contract for lighting the city All the members' were in attendance, viz. : Chairman William H. Chadbourn and Messrs. H. C. McQueen, C. W. Yates, H. A. DeCover, and John H. Webber. Eugene 8. Martin, Esq.., representing the Wilmington Gaslight Company, George Rountree, Esq., 'President H. A. Whiting, and Manager M. P. H. Gouve- neur, representing the Wilmington Street Railway Company, and Mayor S. P. Wright were present. Chairman Chadbourn stated that un der the act creating the board, the number of meetings authorized for a month had - been exhausted, but the board would have a conference and at the next regular meeting to be" held next Tuesday would approve whatever was agreed on in the conference touching the jaward of the contract for lighting the city. Captain . John Cowan, the clerk read a communication from the board of aldermen, stating the action of that board in awarding the contract to the Wilmington Street Railway Company for lighting the city with electric lights, and in awarding the contract to the Wilmington Gaslight Company for lighting the city with gas. The clerk was then called on to read the bids of 'the respective companies, upon which the board of aldermen took action. The bid of the Wilmington Gas light Company was to furnish 73 arc street lamps tat $9 each per month, to light the three markets as now wired, at $28.50 per month, to furnish gas for lighting' the street lights at $2 per month for each lamp, to furnish gas for lighting the alley lamps at $2.50 per month for each lamp, and to light the city hall with gas, at $18.50 per month. The bid of the Wilmington Street Rail way Company, (Electricity alone), was to furnish 73 arc street lamps at $7 per month each, two arc lamns at Front street market, at $10 per month each, and incandescent lights' at 50 cents each. Chairman Chadbourn stated that the question to be considered in connection with the bids was as to the competency of the Wilmington Street Railway Com pany as a bidder. Mr. Gouveneur submitted to the board the proposition that the proposal of the Street Railway Company to give bond for the faithful performance of the contract settled the matter of the company's competency. Mr. Martin addressed the board and explained his contention before the board of aldermen that the Wilmington Street Railway Company was not. a competent bidder, as it did not have a plant ready for carrying out the con tract and that its proposition was to begin lighting the city June 1st. He submitted that the law required the contract to be awarded annually and and urged that the custom is to date the contract from April 1st. that his company has been lighting the city since April 1st, and being a competent bidder should be awarded the contract. He proposed that the bid of his com pany could be revised to meet the wishes of the board. He spoke of the fairness of his company in years gone in reducing the charges for arc lamps from $12 to $10 and then to $9, without being solicited to do so. Mr. Gouverneur in response to a question of Chairman Chadbourn said his company in a day or two could get the- lights along the street railway line ready, that in two weeks thev could have 30 lamps ready, and in two weeks .more they could be ready .to fulfill the contract. He stated that his company has sufficient dynamo power, and that the newest arc lamps, such as are used in Washington would he put up. George Rountree, Esq., attorney, for the Street Railway Company, read the law, providing that the contract for lighting the city shall be awarded an nually or at such other time aa may be necessary and spoke at some length as to the competency of his company, and its ability to give bond and carry out the contract. He submitted to the board that his company was the lowest bidder and there could be no other course but to approve the contract. After further discussion by the at- torneys, the members of the board agreed, at its next meeting, to approve the contract with the Street Railway Company for furnishing the ;73 arc lights, and to approve the contract with the Wilmington Gaslight Company for furnishing the 'city gas lamps, gas at the city hall, and for lighting the three markets.

Successive fail ures of crops resulting from repeated lack of rains have brought 80,000,000 of human beings to the very verge of star vation; and millions will succumb to the terrible fate which has destroyed already the lives of great numbers. The appeal -in their behalf is pitiful; and the facts brought from this region of untold misery are indeed heart-rending. The demand is urgent that these stricken people should receive support and aid from the- Christian countries that can well spare a, little out of their abundance. The United States government has very generously placed 4,000 tons free transportation to India at the disposal of Dr. Talmage and his co-workers, and a resolution has lately been passed, by congress to allow two more vessels to carry aid to the starving people of India. We know that there are a great many of our people who are awaiting an op portunity to contribute something to this caue. We should be glad to re ceive any contributions for the pur pose. Mr. James Sprunt,Britlsh vice con sul; Messrs. C. W. Yates & Co., Mr. W. M. Cumming or Mr. Andrew J. Howell, Jr., will also be glad to receive and forward contributions. Do not fall to co-operate generously with the other sections of our country that are contributing so promptly to this cause. Remember that 11,000 peo ple are now dying dally in India of starvation.

Sen tenced to five years in the state peni tentiary. Johnson is a mulatto and came here three or four months ago, representing himself to be the- body ser vant of General Robert E. Lee. When he landed in town he told a pitiful tale about having his . home " in Virginia burned together with his three children, and his story induced many persons to give him money and extend him favors. A colored' woman gave him a dollar to- change so she could give him some change and he disappeared with the money. The stealing of the dollar con stituted the ground for the first case against him. He stole a watch from another colored woman, and this was the second case. While playing his game around the city Johnson kept soaked full of mean liquor and he was the man of whom The Messenger said that his breath smelled so loudlv of rum that he did not get near enough with his petition at this office to get a contribution. State vs. Charles Fisher, colored, abandonment' of his wife, verdict guilty. Sentenced to six months in the county workhouse. The county commissioners were authorized to hire him out. State vs. William Fisher, colored, lar ceny, verdict guilty. Sentenced to 12 months in the state penitentiary. State vs. James Davis, colored, lar ceny, verdict guilty.

Foster, chairman of the board of commissioners of New Ilano- vre, accompanied by Judge Thoinas H. Sutton, of the circuit criminal court. Solicitor M. C. Richardson, and a Mes senger representative, drove out to the county home and .workhouse yesterday afternoon. - Colonel , 'Foster took the judge and soliiitor out to Inspect the honie, . . ' Mr. T. A. Watson, superintendent of the home, cordially welcomed the party and showed them over the home. Every thing about the premises was neat and clean and the appearance of ' things was highly creditable to the superin tendent. There are now twenty-four inmates in the home. ; " The workhouse was also inspected, and in this department Superintendant Watson is making some commendable Improvement by putting bunks in the. cells for the prisoners. J udge Sutton's visit to the holme was especially to ascertain what disposition is made of the convicts sent to the home. When told that the convicts were hired out, he said the county shoulsj have the benefit of their labor on the roads Or in some other manner. He stated last evening that he will made a recommendation to, the grand jury along this line. Miss Robeson appointed Court Steno - . grapher. . Miss Edna Robeson, 'who was en gaged by Colonel F. W. Foster as sten agrapher for this term of the circuit criminal court of New Hanover county, has so pleased Judge Sutton by her efficiency that he has appointed her stenographer for the entire circuit com posed of New Hanover. Mecklenburg, Cumberland, Robeson, Craven, Wil son, Halifax, Warren, Nash and Edge combe counties. ( By the way, Robeson county was named for Miss Robeson's great-great grand father, Colonel Robeson, who was one of the heroes of the revolutionary war. Readers of history will see his name mentioned along with those of Lillington and Caswell as heroes of the battles of Elizabethtown and Moore's creek, , , Miss Robeson is a very competent stenographer and Judge Sutton is. to be congratulated upon his selection. While he was in the last legislature it was he who amended the circuit criminal court act providing for a stenographer. The employment jf a stenographer is an economical step that all the counties named will endorse, for it facilitates the work of the court and saves witness and jury fees, and not to mention the usefulness a stenographer is to the judge and lawyers- of the courts. THE COAST LINE CASE. The Atlantic Coast Line Can Now Unite and Operate its. Roads as One System, , (Columbia State, April 27th.) The test case to determine whether or not any of the railroads now operat ed by the Atlantic Coast Line Com pany are parallel or competing was heard yesterday morning before Judge Aldrich and a verdict returned in favor of the roads. Attorney Barber repre sented the railroad commission and Mr. J. T. Barron the railroad. Only the officials of the Atlantic Coast Line ana Chainnan W. T. Evans, of the railroad commission were Witnesses, The last legislature granted a char ter consolidating the railroads const! tuting the Atlantic Coast Line Com pany, provided that none of such roads were parallel or competing in the meaning of the constitution. To de termine if any of the roads were tar- allel or competing the case had to be taken to the courts and left to a jury to say after the facts had been laid before it. This was the test case tried yesterday. . Colonel W. G. Elliott, president of the Atlantic Coast Line, was the first wit ness called. He explained that his company, of which the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta was the princi pal road, through leases or by holding a majority of the stock in the North eastern, the Cheraw and Darlington, the Florence, the Manchester and Au gusta, and the Central roads, controll ed them and operated them as one sys tem. Each road was run In the interest of the others, though each had its own rates, had to pay its own expenses and the earnings of each were kept sepa rately. This being the case, he did not think that in the meaning of the con stitution any of them were competing or parallel. - . , While on the witness stand, Colonel Elliott explained how the present suit arose. The legislature before the last, said he, passed a law requiring all railroads operating as one system to put into effect a straight mileage rate. Prior to then the Coast Line Company had in effect different rates on each of the lines leased or operated by the company. When the freight passed over two roads, for example, the rate was the sum of the rates on both roads. After the enactment Of the above men tioned law the railroad commission in sisted that a continuous mileage rate be put on all the roads run by the Coast Line Company. This, he said, would have made a considerable reduc tion in the profits'of the roads, .which would have worked to the advantage of the public Continuing, Colonel El liott said that the management of thJe Coast Line Company explained to the railroad commission the injustice that would be done to the stockholders, for if one road did not make expenses; none of the others in the system con tributed to its support. The proposi tion was made that action be deferred until the legislature met, when a new charter consolidating the railroads into one system could - be obtained. This would reduce the expenses of the road and insure fair treatment to the stock holders. In conclusion, Colonel El liott said that too much was at stake for the question of whether or not any of the roads which the charter pro posed to consolidate were parallel or competing, the consolidation of which is prohibited by the state constitution. General Manager J. R. Kenly said that since his connection with the At lantic Coast Line Company all the roads which it was proposed to consol idate had been operated as one system. None of the roads, in his opinion were competing, as they worked together for their mutual advantage and would of- course not compete with each other. Mr. T. M. Emerson, traffic manager of the Coast Line Company, did not think the roads were competing. On either of the two roads that left Dar lington the rate was the same to the same point. r ',- ' ; ' Mr. W. J. Evans, the only witness for the state, testified to virtually the same facts as Colonel Elliott. This closed the case and after arguments the Jury re turned, a verdict In favor of the rail roads which permits them to consoli date, ; ' f" - - ' "; Death of" "weWoa." " 'Many of our citizens and the travel ing men especially, will 'be sorry to learn of the death of Weldon Perring ton,' the ever polite porter In the Orton house bar. He was taken sick on Satur day and died yesterday morning of a strange affection which seemed to baffle the physicians, but which they Anally determined -was erysipelas.
