Hitherto there has been a conflict of opinion among lawyers and magistrates concerning the jurisdiction of viola tions of city ordinances, some contending that the general law of the State gave magistrates as well as the mayor cog nizance of these offenses, while others insisted that the city charter, as revised by the legislature of 181H, gave evelu sive jurisdiction to the mayor. A ease in which these points were involved came np today. Two boys were arrested for violating a city ordinance (disorderly conduct) on a warrant issued by a mag istrate and then came up for trial.

This view was sus tained by Mr. Powell and the prisoner discharged. COTTON. ' . ; -: New Yorkj Ang. 10.

INCREASE ASKED i $14,500 Per Year for Police De partment TELEPHONE SYSTEM i Chairman Parish Says If Not Adopted ' Four More Policemen Will be i Required Patrol Wagon. Alderman W. W. Parish, chairman of tlie Police Committee, requests that the appropriation of the city to the police department for the next two years be made $14.rMl per year. The finance committee is still working mi the budgetl assigning specified amounts for each department for two year's expenses, and will make their report at a special session of the Ahhr incn tomorrow night. hast year the police department was run on .f 10. lint Chairman Parish now asks for .f4,iKKl more than the previous apportionment. Chairman Parish stated this morn ing very clearly the reason for this increase. Iu the tirst place, the Police Captsiiir's anil the Turnkey's salaries are now .$10 a month more than formerly. I But the intention of the police commit tee is lo give the city a more efficient service. To this end the committee wants to put in an up-to-date telephone and telegraph police service, which will he located in every section of the city. This will not only give the citizens a chance to summons an officer at any hour by going only a short distance, lint the iMilicemen will also have to register at these boxes at certain hours while on their beats. The committee will also purchase a patrol wagon. Chairman Parish says that the in creased apiwutionineiit asked is a ne iivssity, for if this telephone system is not put in then four new policemen will have to be added to the force. This would cause an increase of $2.4011 a year. t Hence it can readily lie seen that the telegraph system, which will cost the city J0.O00, will really be a saving, since the four additional policemen would, in a little over two years, cost more than tin' system will.

The Raleigh cotton mill has set the pace that will, it is thought, bring in twenty thousand dollars towards eslal lishing the textile department in the Agricultural and Mechanical CoJIcge. The mill in question has given its check for one hundred dollars for this ob ject and a request has been made that ouch mill in the State do likewise. It is said that quite a number of mill own ers have signed their intention of doing as the Raleigh mill has and it is more than probable that every mill in the State will give at least one hundred dol lars towards this, object. As a rule the mill owners in 'Xorth Carolina are very liberal and patriotic, and the Durham cotton mill men are especially so. They are ever ready to give their money for tlie cause of education or for auy ob ject that will make better citizens of the people, and this move on the part of the cotton manufaciirers deserves the high est praise and credit. The textile de partment is now assured. SPECIAL NOTICE. Yon should go to Richmond on the 23d of August. Not another such chance will be given this season.
