THE TROUBLE AMONG FIREMEN; Tit Fire Committee of the Board of Alders men Ref bm to Recommend an Increase In the Appropriations for the Fir Com. panics They Will Probably Disband. Mayor Wright Says He Will Reorganize the Companies. Y-r When the budget of the appropria tions for the ensuing year were passed by the board of aldermen "and were concurred in by the board of audit and finance, the appropriations for the sev eral companies of the fire department wars out down about 80 er cent as compared with, the appropriations last 7ar. - ; :vy;y.Vy i Wilmington fiteam Fire Engine Com pany, Cape - Tear- Steam Fire Engine Company, Wilmington Hook and Lad der Company,- and Fifth Ward Hook and Ladder - Company held meetings last week aiid appointed committees to urge upon the mayor and board of aldermen that the opproprlatlons would not be sufficient to pay the expenses of the companies. The committees ac cordingly appeared before the board of aldermen, and it was arranged to have the committees confer about the matter with the tire committee of the board of aldermen. The committees of the four compa nies met Mayor S. P. Wright and Al dermen D. J. Benson and. A. J. Wal ker yesterday, at 12:30 o'clock, in the mayor's office, at the city hall, - and held an hour's conference. Among the representatives of the companies pres ent were W. C. VonGlahn and E. G. Parmele.of Wilmington Steam Fire En gine Company, R, H. Northrop, of Wil mington Hook and Ladder Company, T. J. Gore of the Fifth Ward Hook and Ladder Company, and Valentine Howe, of Cape Fear Steam Fire Engine Com pany.

Nor throp, of Wilmington Hook arid Lad der Company, and Captain W. C. "Von Glahn, of Wilmington Steam Fire En gine Company, as to the expenses of their Companies. He did not inquire, however, as to the expenses of the Fifth Ward Hook and Ladder Com pany", the appropriation for which is $225 per annum, although Captain T. J. Gore of that company was present and ready to give information. The How ard' Relief Steam Fire Engine Company and Phoenix Hose Reel Companies did not have representatives presentK and it is presumed that they are content with the ammounts allowed them. After hearing the reports ef the com mittees, Mayor Wright stated that they had decided that, the appropriations made for the different companies were ample and that they would not increase them. He also explained how the com panies might feed their horses for less and shoe them for $1 per month, and also dispose of a number of expenses which he deemed unnecessary. In giv ing this advice he several times quoted Mr. W. H. Chadpourn. who was not present as authority for prices given. After thanking Mayor Wright for the information furnished, the committees withdrew. The companies were to have met last night to hear the report of their commit tees, but we are not yet apprised of what action they took. It is very prob able that they will disband. - A reporter, yesterday asked Mayor Wright what he would do in the event they disbanded. He said he did not think they would disband but if they did, he would reorganize the companies on as good a basis as their present or ganization.

Many of you have given us noth ing; soma who have given heretofore, have refused this year. Our funds are exhausted, a deficiency stares us in the face, when we think of the bills to be paid Jn June. If we do not receive substantial aid scon, we must close our office. - . After four years experience, we sav. without vanity, that we are working 1 at. me prooiem or pauperism in our city in the wisest way. - Shall we give it up? Shall we let the very poor take care of themselves, suffer and starve? Shall we go back to the old helter skelter, over-lapping, overlooking way? Shall we say to the paupers, "Go, beg from house to house; from store to store, and get what you can?" Shall we so offer a premium to deceit and self-degradation?

Armistice of Seventeen pays Declared. Athens, May 2t. Ah armistice to ex tend over a period of seventeen days was formerly concluded today between Turkish and Greek troops. It includes the laud and sea forces of both com batants. The ambassadors of the powers mot this afternoon to consider the terms of peace. Amiliere Ciprjani, the Italian social ist leader who headed the first detach ment of Italian volunteers which cross ed the Greek frontier in Macedonia and who subsequently disbanded his followers, has landed here. He was wounded in the knee and lay six hours on the field of battle, losing much blood before he .was rescued, . London, May 21. The armistice agreement stipulates that a mixed com mission of officers of superior rank shall establish a neutral zone between the two armies and that no advance on either flnak will be permitted. It is understood that Turkey wants the com mission to be constituted of the foreign military attachees with the wo armies. Crown Prinee Constantine, it is said sent a personal appeal to the czar not to allow the Greek army, to be crushed by a force four times greater than it self and that fn consequence the czar insisted on the armistice. The numerous suggestions as to the conditions of peace now coming in from all quarters may be dismissed, for the most part, as unreliable. It is proba ble that a majority are prompted from Constantinople with the idea of sound ing the powers. In all likelihood the negotiations will be protracted. The . alacrity -with which the sultan consented to an armistice at the behest of Emperor - Nicholas shows his own desire to stop military operations, and especially as compliance with the re quest places a great power under obli gation to Turkey in the negotiations. A Startling Affidavit as to Blanch La mont's Murder. Monte Vjsta, Colo., May 20. William T. Bryant, an aged inmate of the sol dier's home at this place, today made a sworn statement to the effect that Theodore Durrant, who is under sen tence of death for the murder of Blanche Lamont, in Emanuel church, San Francisco, is not guilty of the crime, but that Rev. J. George Gibson, pastor of the church, is the murderer. His statement is as follows: "My name is William T. Bryant. I am 63 years old. I. have lived in Cal ifornia since 1849 up to March 1, 1896. I am familiar with the location of the Emanuel Baptist church, in which Blanche Lamont was murdered. I was in the church the night of the mur der. I saw Rev. J. George Gibson with a woman in his arms in the body of the Church, going to the south corner of the church. I heard him sayr This kills that evidence - "I know Rev. J. George Gibson per fectly welL I heard the woman groan a number of times as though In mortal agony. I. .make this statement as an act of Justice to an innocent men. The odore Durrant did not murder Blanche Lamont but Rev. J. George Gibson did. ' ' : . ; (Signed.) WTLLlAiM T.

President Mc Kinley is not likely to be called upon to take action upon the Cuban resolu tion passed by the senate today for some- time and, perhaps, not at all. The resolution would not be sent to him for his approval until it had been adopted by the house, and whether the house takes It up, must be declaea hereafter. It Is known that Mr, Mc Kinley desires the postponement of final congressional action on the "Cuban question until the report of Mr. Calr houn, who is on the island to investi gate conditions there, has been made. Mr.- Hitt said guardedly in the de bate today that the adoption of the Morsran resolution at this time might embarrass negotiations which, "the pres ident has in mind to secure the inde pendence of Cuba, and, although Mr. Hitt expressly disclaimed that he spoke by authority, it was well known that he had been in consultation with the president on Cuban affairs and his ut terance was taken as a reflection of the wish of the executive. The sehr ate resolution.: can be brought before the house only by a special rule and Speaker Reed is known to be opposed to its adoption at this time, There way be much pressure brought to bear by the republicans, who think early ac tion on the Cuban question advisable, to have the resolution acted on by the house; but so long, as the leaders con sider that it may embarrass President McKinley' plans it is likely to lie j on the table. ' . " : ' AJS iWSJ Death of Senator Earle. Columbia, S. C, May 20. United States Senator Jos. H. Earle; who was elected last January, died at his resi dence in Greenville this afternoon at 5:35 o'clock. He had been 111 for sev eral weeks, but until yesterday hopes were entertained for his recovery. Bright's disease was the cause. He was born in Greenville April 30, 1847. He was. elected after a hard fight in which he pursued a manly course. His death is universally deplored. Governor El lerbee will have to appoint a successor to serve until the general assembly meets next winter when it will elect a senator for the unexpired term. Con gressman McLaurin and Attorney General Barber are mentioned in con nection with the appointment. As yet, the public sorrow is" too great for the question of a successor to receive much attention. Governor Ellerbee is absent from the city. Greece Will Cede No Territory. Athens, May 20. M.
