Board of Aldermen.
A special meeting of the Board of
Aldermen was held last night, princi
pally for the purpose of considering
Alderman Holding's resolution rela
tive to the reduction of certain special
tax licenses.
The Street Committee was author
ized to make provision for carrying
water off the lot of the North Caro
lina Wagon Company.
The Park Committee was author
ized to spend $20 j for repairing a
house io Pullen Park, and to pur
chase two dozen beuches for Nash
Square.
The commiitee was instructed to
look into the matter of the indebted
ness of the city to the electric light
company and report at next meeting
This matter arose from the fact there
is a claim that the electric light com
pauy is not giving lights of the candle
power demand e 1 iu the contract, and
that in consequence of this, the city
had not paid the company anything
in tive months.
The committee on apportionment
recommended the following appro
priations for the year 1890:
Olfloers and police force, $13,000;
fire and water, $9,500; parks, $500;
medicine (charity, etc), $900; print
ing, etc, $500; sundries, $2,000; com
missions and interest, $1,576; fuel,
$253; streets, $12,500. Total, $16,380,
Adopted.
The resolution of Alderman Hold
ing being taken up, Alderman Ward,
from the finance committee, submit
ted a verbal report on behalf of the
majority of the committee, which
was unfavorable to the repeal of the
licenses.
Alderman Wilder submitted a mi
nority report favoring the;repeal of
.licenses.
The matter was then widely dis
cussed, Alderman Holding.. leading,
A vote being taken, the result; was
the repeal of the license tax on'phy
sicians, hotels, and a reduction of the
license from twenty five to ten dol
lars on stock and bond brokers, junk
dealers,' pawn brokers, sewing ma
chine companies, dealers in musical
instruments, sales stables and stock
yards.
Alderman Holding then moved that
the Board ad journ to next Thursday
night when the whole question shall
be opened again and reconsidered in
full. His motion was adopted.
Some people are of opinion that a
man shouldn't take his wife on a
wedding tour to Niagara or any of
those sublime looking places. She is
generally so apt to be impressed by
them that he is small in comparison
and if there is ever a period when a
wife is likely to consider that her
worse half amounts to something it
is the week or two following the wed
ding. The custom of these journeys
ought to be called in for repairs.

OUR GALLANT AND MANLY POLICE.
Faithful Guardians Brief
Sketches of Who They Are.
JOHN A. BA.SHFORD.
Since 1881, Mr Bashford has been
one of the faithful patrolmen of Ral
eigh. He was elected under Mayor
Manly at the same time Chief C D
Heartt was, and is therefore also en
titled to a tin reception next month.
He is forty five years of age, weighs
two hundred and thirty six pounds,
and 's five; feet eleven inches high.
He too, left the blacksmith's anvil
for the policeman's star and billy,
having enjoyed a full apprenticeship
at the R & G R R shops. A man of
quiet but determined manner, born
and reared in Raleigh, and therefore
knows it as few in the city does.With
John Bashforfl on one side of an of-
tender and f acl tfeasiey on the other
nothing shtyt of a cycli ne could keep
that man out of the lock up. His ten
years continuous service is the best
evidence of his qualifications and ef
ficiency. We have never heard a
complaint against him
w. W. WILLIS, ,
also began service iu 1880, under
Miyor Manly. He is thirty nine
years of age, weighs one hundred and
seventy six pounds and is five feet ten
inches high. He came to this city
from Newbern, N C, where he was
very popular There are but few
better built men than he, and at one
time we know he could throw a heavy
weight farther than any man in a
large crowd gathered for the purpose,
and had muscle after the John Sulli
van sort. He is eood looking and
clever, and hardly knows what fear
is. In a'l the ten years he has been
on the force he has had only one
spell of sickness, and his vigilance
and faithfulness entitle him to the
reflection he has enjoyed from term
to term without any question. He
despises wrong doing and is the soul
of honor.
W. E. HOGUS
was placed on the force in October
1882, under Mayor Dodd. He is thir
ty nine years old.weighs one hundred
and eighty pounds, and is five feet
four and a half inches high. In some
cities he would be under size for a po
liceman. But he is every inch a man
and as good grit as ever wore a star.
Courageous and firm, he knows only
duly, when on his beat, and is justly
considered one of the best of the force.
He was elected to fill a vacancy, at a
time when there were a great many
worthy applicants, and if there has
ever been any cause to regret it we
have not heard it.
Q. A. STRICKLAND
was chosen to fill an unexpired term
in January 1883, under Mayor Dodd.
He is thirtv four years of age, weighs
two hundred and thirty five
and is six feet one and a half inches
high. A fine looking man in every
way, and seems born for the business.
He is also good in detective work and
a terror to evil doers. No man on the
force has gained more popularity
than he for fearless and faithful ser
vice. Like some of. the other.-", his
Bize specially marks him for his work
and yet like Jack Beasley he is as
gentle and kind as a child when gen
tleness is needed. Quick, intelligent,
upright and honorable he well de
serves his popularity. Better keep
out of Strickland's way or quit your
meanness.
There are four remaining that we
shall notice in a future issue.
A young man, recently married,
suggested to his wife that they should
argue some question fran k ly and fully
every morning, in order to learn
more of each other. The first ques
tion happened to be: ' Whether a
woman could dress on seventy five
dollars a year?" and he took the af
Amative; and when last seen he had
climbed into a hay loft and was pull-
I ing a ladder up after him.

Crady Cigar Yet?
They are good, as is attested by
their enormous eale. Five cents
strictly, at J Hal Bobbitt's.
Drapery Nets.
A real silk black LaTosca net forty
six inches wide at 83 cents per yard;
looks cheap enough surely. This is.
shown at W H & R S Tucker & Co's,
with another still better forty eight
inches wjde at $1.00. Colored nets
for evening wear begin as low as 60
cents, and the black silk lace flounc-
ings of excellent value and beautiful
designs at 75c. 90, $1.00 and so on up.
A Luxury.
Messrs Sumner & Watts, the enter
prising barbers, 'earnestly solicit the
patronage of the public. Their new
shop, 230 Fayette ville street, oppo
site the city market, ia fixed up in a
style unsurpassed by any establish
ment of the kind in the State. Those
wishing a good shave, or hair dress
ing cau b8 served with the utmost
satisfaction. They have the latest
invention in the way of patent ad
justing chairs, rendering it a most
enjoyable comfort in the way of the
tonsorial art. We speak from expe
rience in the matter having been ben
eficiaries of the comforts dispensed at
their establishment. These chairs are
unsurpassed for convenience and can
not be equaled in this city. Give
Messrs Summer & Watts, a call and
take our word for it they will pleate
you. You will leave their shop con
tented with yourself and the "rest of
mankind."

The Matter Of
Children's and boy's clothing is a
source of great perplexity to those
who have little sons. There are few
stores where you can get childrens and
boys clothing to suit you, and at
the same time get prices to suit you.
Now we make ir our special business
to keep this particular kind of cloth
ing at Swindell's Racket Store, and
we know the price is from one to two
dollars less on each suit. Now this
is quite a saving. We are sure that
we handle more clothing both of
men's and boy's than any other store
. in Raleigh, and as for gent's furnish
ing eoods, we do not fear com petition,
