Our Children's Stock is com plete. We do not mean by that to tell you we keep the low-price shoddy goods, but we do have a good quality at a very low price, and yet we sell more of our suits from five to ten dollars. In our Boys' Department wc have some very stylish gar ments to show you, while the young men cannot help being pleased by making a selection from our nobby styles We have over Forty Styles to show you in our Men's De partment, and now, kind reader, just visit us at your earliest convenience and let us show you our goods, and see if it will not be to our mutual interests to deal with each other.

Just who to blame for thi* piece of caielessnees ia not known, but it appears, from tho statement of Dr. West, that the Chief of Police is blameless. Tbe Doctor told the Chief that Hamilton could he removed on Tuesday morning, mud then the Chief suggested Tuesday evening, but the doctor InsUted that the patient should not be moved until Wednesday morning. Hamilton, no doubt, that a warrant had been Issued for Ms arrest, and therefore decided to take his chances and get away from town at the earliest pos sible moment. The Chief denies that he in timated that Sergeant Blackburn incited the riot, but says that had been severely reprimanded on that even ing for btaudlog and uot Interfering duriDg the lieht of tho night before, and »ays that tbe Mayor had threatened to . dismiss the officer if such a thing occurred again.

Mr. Eastburn, chairman of the commit tee, would 6ay In reply to Mr. Blake that the committee had triod to make arrangements with Johnson & Miles for the completion of the 6ewer witnout advertising for proposals. They have now been over a year at it, aud have not finished their portion yet. If Car berry is awarded the contract he agrees to dig out 14 feet and allow Johnson & Miles to finish their contract.

Mr. Garrett said tho work hal only been under way since March last and the contrac tors had been stopped by the committee several times. Tho committee had gotten themselves into a hole and they should get out of It the best way they could. The firm would be very foolish if they did no: claim damages. Mr. Pickels said he know two weeks ago the committee had offered Johnson & .Miles the contract for completing the work at the same price per lineal foot that they getting.

The majority of the ' smaller am les usel at the gymnasium 1 were procured of Kemble <fc Davis, the new firm ou Market street «car Eighth. . j Resolved , That tho Chief Engineer of tho Wu ter Department bo author lied to advertise for proposals tor building two boilers for ttie ülty Pu inpin< Station, bids to bo received from Wilmington builders only. Mr. Taylor desired ti know what tbe ob ject was !n not receiving bids from outside parties, Mr. atevenson in reply said that the com mittcc thought that ns the people of tho city would have to pay for the boilers they should be built here and give our workmen a chance. Another object was that should anything happen to (be boilers the me chanics who made tln|un would be right here to repair them. Air. Pickels also was In lavor of doing all work here. He believed in home protection. Air. Blake (interrupting)—"Why did you not think of that when you bought the bul I ?" Mr. Pickels— "I do n|jt. want any bulls ex cept Irish bulle, und there is plenty of them." Mr. Blake—"I meat) the English bull, and there 1s plenty of tjicm." Mr. Pickels, continuing his argument, said he heartily favored the resolution and would vote for it. Mr. Taylor—It may Ihj all good enough to have them built here, but give others out side a chauce. If people of other cities would do the same thing, we would not be sending s hips and cars all over tho world. Why It has only !>cen a short time ago that Hilles & Jones put boilers in the Philadel phia water works. Ono car firm sent to the Brooklyn bridge, and machinery made has been sent tu all parts. If those people should say no work should go out side, what would become of Wilmington ? It may be good in sentiment but notin principle. Mr. Johnson also favored the resolution. Me. Taylor moved to strika out that por tion of the resolution referring to Wilming ton bidders only. Mr. Pickles moved to lay tho motion on the table. Adopted. The resolution was then adopted by the followirg vote : Ayes—Messrs.
