BOARD WILL ACT TODAY Death of Mr. .John Benthall. Democrats to Choose Delegates. Hospital at Old Point. Slapped the Chambermaid. At the regular monthly meeting of the Board of Supervisors held yester? day morning it was announced that a telegram had been received from Messrs. C. A. "White & Co.. of" New York City, stating that they were will? ing to take the bonds of the county to be issued for the purpose of erecting a new school building upon the terms proposed some time ago. When nego tions with the New York bankers were begun they insisted that the bonds should contain a gold clause, but this the Board of Supervisees would not agree to, giving as a reason for their declination that other loans contracted by the county had been secured upon a coin basis and hence it would be mani? festly unfair to persons holding such bonds to make those desired by White & Co. payable in gold. As the Hoard of Supervisors are borrowing plain, every? day. Williarn J. Bryan silver dollars they argue that the New York firm ought to be willing to accept the in? terest and principal of the loan in the same coin, no matter what the relative standing of the white and yellow met? als may be at the time the bonds ma? ture. This Messrs. White & Co. have tinally decided to do. The board will meet In adjourned ses? sion this morning and take definite ac? tion upon the revised proposition of the bankers. The probability is that the matter will be speedily disposed of. This done the scores of people who have been looking forward to a new school building before the opening of the fall term will take part. The school loan amounts to $15,000. but it Is doubt? ful If that sum will be sufficient to com? plete a first-class house. There is talk of using a portion of the money in re? pairing and enlarging the old building in Pee Dee. but as that would be a waste of funds it ought to be nipped in the bud. If every penny of the $15,000 were expended upon that antiquated and unhealthful structure it would still be a discredit to that community. The wonder is that Professor Cowles and his assistants have been able, in its cramped and unventilated rooms, to bring the school up to the high stand? ard it has attained since they took charge of it. The Pee Dee building is the only thing connected with the pub lid ??&8S>AvSystety; here, that the people have reason to be ashamed ot antLthey ought to put on sackcloth and ashes and bow with their hands on their mouths and their mouths in the dust until a cheerful, commodious and healthful structure rises in place of tltat ramshackle educational shack. HOSPITAL AT OLD POINT. Preparing to Treat Sick and Wounded Soldiers There. Fort Monroe is to become the most important hospital point in the United States. Steps to that end were taken more than a week ago and Tuesday, it is learned upon good authority, final arrangements were completed. The first plan contemplated the erection of a large wooden building, but this idea was soon abandoned in favor of tents. The tents will be large and will be provided with every comfort and con? venience known to modern medical and surgical science. They will be located on the moat near the fori hospital building. A corps of twenty surgeons has been detailed for service at the new station and will arrive in a few days. It was learned yesterday that be? tween 600 and 800 sick and wounded soldiers from the South will be sent to Fort Monroe for treatment. Some of them may be here next week. This news caused some apprehension on ac? count of the danger of introducing yellow fever. While ordinarily the dis? ease could not exist so far north as Fort Monroe. It would undoubtedly thrive in such weather as has been ex? perienced here during the past week. It is not known, however, that yellow fever patients will be brought to Old Point. But they have to be treated somewhere, and as the citizens of Tampa and other Florida cities are vigorously protesting against the es? tablishment of hospitals in that state, it may be necessary to send the sick soldiers north. SLAPPED THE CHAMBERMAID Because She Pulled a Chair from Under His Mother. A few days ago a young man named Cook, who lives in Portsmouth, accom? panied his mother and sweetheart on an excursion to the Soldiers' Home. They came over on the steamer Hamp? ton Roads. Upon the return trip young Cook secured a couple of camp chairs for the use of the two ladies. They had been occupying them but a few minutes. however. when Mamie Hudgins. a chambermaid on the steamer, approached and commanded them to surrender the chairs. Cook told her that she could not have them, whereupon she jerked them from under the women. This angered the young man and he slapped the girl, and when the steamer returned to Hampton she swore out a warrant charging him with asaaul t. Officer Diestll went to Portsmouth Tuesday evening and arrested Cook and yesterday morning he was arraigned before Justice Richardson, who bailed him in the sum of $100, with his father as security, for his appearance here next Wednesday. A minister and sev ral other well known people will appear as witnesses for Mr. Cook. The young man is a member of one of the best known families In Portsmouth and is a near relative of Mr. T. A. Cook, the Queen street dry goods merchant. JOHN BENTHALL DEAD. One of Hampton's Most Popular Citi? zens. Mr. John Benthall, one of Hampton's most popular citizens, died at his home in the West End at an early hour yes? terday morning after a long Illness. Notwithstanding Mr. Benthall suffered from a complication of diseases hopes of his recovery were entertained until a few days ago. He was fifty-five years old. John Benthall was esteemed as "one of Hampton's most upright citizens. He was ever ready to aid any movement which had for Its object the good of the community. Mr. Benthall took an active interest in moral and religious work. He formerly lived at Fox "Hill, coming to this city a number of years ago. He is survived by his wife and several children. The funeral will take place today from the residence. The interment will be at Oakland. TONIGHT S DISTRICT MEETING. But Little Interest Manifested In Eliza? beth City County. But little interest has been shown in this county in the district meetings to be held tonight for he purpose of se? lecting delegates to the congressional convention. Mr. Young's friends, it is said, have been conducting a still hunt on a small scale, but Dr. Bryant's sup? porters say that he will have a major? ity of the delegates. Wythe district and Fox Hill precinct are said to be solid for the Southampton candidate. In Hampton district and Phoebus precinct sentiment is divided and It is not easy to say which of the two Dem? ocrats has the advantage. Dr. Bryant has many ardent admirers in the city, but he may fall short when the votes are counted. Phoebus. It is said, will certainly be carried by Mr. Young, but he will not have the solid support of the precinct. BRIEF ITEMS. The funeral of Colonel W. B. Lane will take place this morning. The in? terment will be at .the new national cemetery and will occur at S o'clock. Mr. Richard Hudglns is reported se? riously ill at his home In the West End. Yesterday was the coolest day expe? rienced here for many a week. A copi? ous shower Tuesday night sent the mercury down and kept It below Sfi. There was no storm here. The ladles of the Christian church are preparing for an interesting social event this evening. The new pastor is much liked. Assistant Postmaster Sydney Darden was well enough yesterday to leave his room. He hopes to resume his duties in the ofllee in a short time. Henry Vaughan, brother of Mr. W. S. Vaughan. of this city, who has been away from home four years, has been heard from. He Is at Jacksonville. Mr. Vaughan first left Hampton in 1S75 ant'/ since then has traveled extensively. Fay Curtis, son of the sheriff of this county, who has been In the hospital at Camp Cuba Libre with fever, has al? most recovered. He will be back in camp in a few days. Curl Phillips' horse Ginger was the winner In the races at Hunt's Neei?. York county. Wednesday. An animal owned by Captain Storrs took second money. Letters received from Jacksonville yesterday say that the health of Com? pany D is good. There have been a few cases of mild fever, but no one has been seriously 111. Quite a number of people here are anxious for the Seaboard Air Line or the Atlantic Coast Line to run an ex? cursion train to Jacksonville. It is said that a party of at least a hundred would go. The Y. M. C. A. tent at Fort Monroe has been supplied with 'jfimfortable seats and the meetings are well attend? ed every night. A number of persons have asked for prayer. .Secretory Irons is in charge. ' "-v. Officer Knewstep narrowly escaped serious Injury a few days ago while at? tempting to board the steamer Hamp? ton Roads. He slipped as he stepped from the dock and fell intb a small boat below. Besides being well shaken up he came out with a double column of bruises on his right leg. Notwithstanding the fall in tempera? ture yesterday afternoon Etuckroe Illach was thronged again last night. GEORGIA DEMOCRATS. War Overshadows All Issues In the State Convention. (By Telegraph.) ATLANTA, OA.. June 29.?The Dem? ocrats of Georgia today formally placi d in nomination this ticket, chosen by' them at the primaries June 3: Governor?Allen D. Candler. Secretary of State?Philip Cook. Treasurer?W i 11 iam Speer. Comptroller General?W. A. Wright. The war with Spain overshadowed all issues. Patriotic utterances and refer? ences to a united country began with the first speech. Hon. E. T. Brown, temporary chairman, in his speech said: "The world looks on in amazement. Less than thirty-five years ago one sec? tion was arrayed against the other in internecine war, the like of which was never witnessed on the globe, and yet when the first foreign foe would dare insult the national honor or lay his un? holy hand upon the national nag these two, as if they had never been apart, rush together with one accord, with one purpose, to see which can do greatest honor to his country's cause." Hon. F. G. Dublgnon. of Savannah, was made permanent chairman and an? nounced Hon. Clark Howell, of Atlanta, as chairman of the committee on res? olutions. The ticket was then put through with a rush and after a short recess Mr. Howell read the platform. It pledges the state of Georgia to "the tlag of our country" and affirms the cause for which the United States is en? gaged in war with Spain is just and righteous and on the subject says fur? ther: "There is cause for universal congrat? ulation in the fact that the patriotic uprising of the whole people has ob? literated sectionalism from the politics of our country: and while the people of the South unite with those of the North in cordial enthusiasm over the marvel? ous victory of Dewey in annihilating Spain's Asiatic fleet, it is gratifying to observe that those of the North are no less cordial in bestowing praise and commeda'tion upon the heroic deeds of the two brave young Southerners, Bag ley and Hobson, who with their in? trepid comrades, have won distinction which will render their names immortal and add new lustre, to the American navy. "Notwithstanding the war Is upon us, we urge upon Congress and upon the administration to leave nothing undone to push it to a speedy and successful conclusion. The volunteer forces should be increased to meet the emergency and neither the army nor the navy should lack for want of funds to secure decisive results and force at the ear? liest practicable moment the abandon? ment by Spain of its possessions In any part of the western hemisphere." The construction of the Nicaragua canal is urged and the free coinage of silver at the ratio of IB to 1 demanded. The election of Senators by direct vote of the people is favored and profound esteem and undiminished confidence is extended Hon. W. .1. Bryan. CAMARA'S REQUEST REFUSED. ' (By Telegraph.) CAIRO, EGYPT, June 29.?Admiral Camara has asked permission to coal 1 his fleet at Port Said, but the Egyptian government, believing the Spanish ships have sufficient coal to steam to the nearest port of their own country, 1 has definitely refused his request, in ac cordance with the neutrality laws.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. '. NEW YORK. June 29.?Midsummer dullness was the prevailing character? istic of the trading In stocks today, and there was scarcely a single feature in the list of sufficient interest to war? rant mention. There was a movement to cover some of the short contracts that were put out by professional trad? ers yesterday afternoon on the rather daring assumption that trouble was brewing with Germany over that gov? ernment's alleged intended interference in the Philippines. This covering sent prices up quite sharply in the early trading in some stocks. Time money was nuotably higher, .rating at 3 per cent, for four months and 3 1-2 per cent, for six months. The demand was said to be due to some apprehension that the war loan cannot be taken up with? out a congestion of funds in the treas? ury and also to some apprehension that the proposed forms for call loans de? signed to avoid the tax will prove un? availing.
