TWO ALDERMEN FINED.
MayorRvuM Springs a Surprise by
Fining Aldernien Bouehsll and
Johnson Flues Remitted.
The Board of Aldermen got to
gether last bight, after postponing
the meeting from Friday night, and
transacted quite a lot of important
tmsiness. The roll call developed
the presence of all the members, ex
cept aldermen Johnson, Bonshall
and Stronaoh. Mayor Pass sprung
a sarprise by fining aldermen Jphn
son and Bousball $3 each for bniDg
absent. Hr. Stronaoh was excused
on account of being detained home
by sickness. Later the fines of alder
men Johnson and Bousball were re
mitted as they were only a little late
and pardonably so Mayor Rues is
to be heartily commended in thus
npholding the law. A full attend
anoe will in all probability be assured
hereafter, as Mayor Russ means
business. '
The report of the Finance Commit
tee was submitted by Alderman
Bonshall and showed a total expend
itore of 15,248 80 for the past month.
The report of the Street Commit
tee was read by Chairman D re wry.
As usual it showed a careful atten
tion to the interests ol the oity and a
study of the question of street im
provements, which now confronts us.
Mr- Drewry is the right man in the
right place.
The Street Committee's report
showed that since the last meeting
the placing of maoadain on Hiilsboro
street had been nearly completed.
Person street is now being graded so
as to bring the street oar company's
track to a orooer grade.
The Chief of Police was ordered
to give notice to property owners cn
Wilmington and Hiilsboro streets to
repair their sidewalks.
Correspondence iu regard to build
tag the railroad orossing over Mor
gan street was read. Manager
Winder, of the Seaboard Air Line,
stated that he would meet a commit
tee of the aldermen in regard to the
matter.
In regard to pavements the com
mittee reported :
"Your committee has given con
siderable time reoent'y to investigate
the paving of streets with vitrified
brick, and we have received letters
from a number of towns where these
brick have been nsed, in whiob it is
stated that a pavement of this kind
far surpasses anything ever tried. It
is stated that it is equally as durable
as stone and muoh oleaner and
smoother, and probably muoh cheap
er. We therefore recommend that
the paving of Hargett street from
Fayetteville to Salisbury be left with
the committee to decide after thor
ongb investigation which will be
most advantageous to the oity to use,
belgiam blocks or paviog brioks.
We also recommend that Hargett
street from Wilmington street to
Blonnt street be paved, either with
belginm blocks or paving bricks, and
that this also bs left with the com
mittee to deoide which should be
nsed in order to advanoe the best in
terests of the city and the property
owners at the same time."
The report of the Police Commit
tee was submitted by Alderman Fer
ralL It showed that the force of
police was in good condition, with
the exception of several oases of siok
ness awhile baok. One hundred ar
rests were made during the month
of September, most of them being
for disorderly oondnot. An appro
priation, at the request of Chairman
FerralL, waa granted for the pur
chase of fourteen belts. . ,
Requests for lights on Manly street
and one on the. corner of Saunders
and Lenoir streets were referred to
the Street Committee. ,
The resignation of Alderman Ivey
was submitted by Mayor Rnss, Mr.
Ivey giving as his reasons for resign
ing, that he bad moved to Norfolk.
On motion of Alderman Ferrall, Dr.
D. S Everett' was unanimously
ohosea to succeed him, as the Pbjhs-
Vuitok stated several days ago he
would be. The selection is a fitting
one, certainly. No gentleman to
this city is better prepared to dis
charge the duties of alderman than
Dr; Everett.! W'ife
A petition was read signed by Al
derman Drewry and a large number
of the best citizens of Raleigh, ask
ing that Dawson street be extended
to tha city limits. The property-
owners through ; whose land the
street would inn an willing to de
Vote the land, and it is only a matter
of tne near future when the street
will bs opened up. Tbe matterwas
referred to the Street Committee.
The opening of thia street will entail
comparatively no Jost to the oity
and at the same timttopen up a valu
able addition to tbef city, which will
be greatly appreciated by those liv
ing in that community.
A license was granted to G. A.
Lampkin, of Greensboro, to sell
liquor in the Prairie building. Mr.
Lampkin is a wholesaler and will
not dispose of quantities of les than
one quart.
Alderman Drewrv stated that
since the woman with her infant
ohild was refused admittance in the
Hospital, several noble hcalrted wo,
men had In Wrested themselves In
the case.. "They-found," said Mr.
Drewry, "that there are no accom
modations at the hospital for infants
and ohildren, so they have set about
to build a ward in connection with
the hospital for infants and small
children. They have already raised
a part of the money and will furnish
the room themselves." When com
pleted the ward will be turned over
to the hospital. The matter proper
should have come up before the
-trustees.
A request by Alderman Mills for
alight at the orossing under the
Union Depot shed was referred to
the S 'refit Committee with power to
aot. Mr. Mills thought that the po
lioemau sbould have one Sunday off
in eac'i month. This matter was al
so referred to the Street Committee.
Alderman Bousball read the paper
prepared by Attorney Holding call
ing for an election in January to
submit the proposition of voting
$50,000 for permanent street im
Mr. B. usb. a!1 favored the issue,
provemeats. The election was
ordered.
but stated that he was not in favor
of going to the expense of calling an
eleotion, if a majority of the people
were against it. He was afraid that
some of the people were not farsight
ed enough to see that taxation
would be decreased by the issue.
Alderman Drewry favored the issue
as the best thing for Raleigh. He
daid that the population was inoreas
iug every year and Raleigh was go
iug forward every day.
Alderman Robinson opposed the
issue for numerous reasons. Alder
mauFerrall favored it. He said that it
was not only in the interest of work
ing men, but also property owners.
Alderman Hoover eaid that he
thought the colored people wonld be
in favor of tbe issue instead of
against it. As fur himself he said
that he was open for oonviotion.
Tbe Standard Oil Company have
been released from the contract to
keep a nightwatohman at their
building on condition that they put
in a new system of fire alarm.
The market Committee was au
thorized to connect stalls in tbe
Market with the water works.

St John Discharged Col.
Winder's Chief Clerk.
HEADS CHOPPED OFF.
A Number or High and Well Known
Officials Put Under the Axe
Cbas. Voorbeea Out,
Hr. B. St. John Vise President of
the great Seaboard Air-Line has got
his tie chipping apparatus in motion
once more and he Is doing basinets at
bin old stand la Portemoaih. Asa
head stopped he eaa give a fourteenth
fourth elsee Aesiant Postmsster
spsd-s and best him. Saturday was
a bad day for Seaboard employees.
The deerae went oot and many em
ployees ill looking for jobs. A Ses-
board employee will hereafter look on
Saturday with suspieion and awe.
The fact that Mr. St. John bad taken
up the halobet was made known when
it was given oat that Mr. R H. Elliott,
the popular and clever Chief Clerk to
General Manager Winder, had "re
signed." The ei'oamstanoes attending
the dismissal of Mr. Elliott created a
sensnti o uot only among railroad
men, bnt. aleo among all clauses. It is
ow tie la Ik ot nearly everywhere in
tjwn.
The story goes that Mr. St John
entertd the office of General Manager
Winder. Mr. Winder was not in. Mr
St. John polled a paper from the in
side of bis pocket and presented in to
Mr. Blliott requesting him to sign
Mr. Windrr'a name to it.
Mr. Kliiott, after glancing over the
paper tbe contents of whiob have
never been known declined to sign
it. He gave as hie reason that the
oonlenis contained, were not iu accord
ance with Mr Winder's polioy.
Mr. Elliott is a cervy and plaoky
young man. It is said that it would
have been almost criminal for him to
have signed the paper. He has a
nerve which is nearly equal to St.
John's gall.
Mi. St. John became enraged, so the
story goes, when he learned that Mr.
Elliott refuvd to sign Mr. Winder's
name to the paper. He uas told by
Mr. St John that he ould get out of
the baildiug, as he was no longer
the employ of the 13. A. L.
Railroad men say this act ia unpr. s
edented. It has eaused a big sensa
tion. Mr. Winder was in the city yes
terday with Mr. Elliott. Both left for
Atlanta Unit night. Mr. Winder did
not speak of the affair while here.
At. St. John dismissed, or, in rail
road vernaoular, "resigned" several
old and popular employees Saturday
night.
There is Cbas. J. Voothees, Travel
ing Passenger Agent. Hs is one of
the cleverest and most popular men
that ever engaged in th buslneie. Mr.
W. P. Clements, the General Agent at
Washington, D. C, was also tumbled.
John L. Burton, the csr traser, is oot.
Mr. W. L. O'Dyer, Aesistsnt General
Freight Agent, also wentont Baluday.
Mr. C. L. Heard, .Southern Freight i.od
Passenger Agent, at Anguata, was one.
The official order was also given out
that the Superintendent of Motive
Power had been removed from Raleigh
to Portsmoitb.
When such men as tbs above lose
their positions, there can be no dis
honor attached to it.

FOUND ILL IN A MEADOW.
Story or a Woman Tramp, Dressed In
Man's Attire Their Wedding Trip.
Last Sunday persons who were
strolling in Devereux's meadow, were
astonisbed to find two men, as it was
thought at first, reclining under a
tree. One was deathly sick, and the
other was doing what he could for his
companion Aid was given, aad the
sick tramp lemored to a summer house
on the Deversnx place. A rough
bed of straw was prepared for tbs sick
body; then the fsct was discovered that
it was not a man, but a woman in dis
guise.
The man, whose name is Phillips,
said that the woman is his wife; the
tale he tells is one i f the most re
markable. They were married in the North, he
says, where he worked at his trade of
boiler making. Then he lost employ
ment and husband aad wifa tnraed
tramp. They started for Atlanta, both
dressed as men, the woman with her
hair rolled op under an old, slouch
hat. Tbey bad visited th Exposition
snd were on their way to Richmond,
when the woman was taken ill.
Phillips aays that his wife Is a good
a tramp as ever rode a box car, or a
"blind baggage." They had arrived
Sunday morning on the blind baggage
of the vestibule, aad intended to leave
for Richmond the same morning, when
his wife was taken ill.
All day Sunday the poor woman lay
on her bed of straw and suffered
agony. Early yesterday some kind
woman visited her, gave hr woman's
clothing and did other kindly acta of
a womanly character. Id the after
noon ths sick woman waa taken into
the city to a place from where she
might be removed to Bex Hospital.
She was talen there this morning.
This, says Phillips, waa their wedding
trip.
