Relief Of the Poor (Mr Otley chair
man, held at the almshouse yesterday
afternoon. the following resolution was
offered by Mr.. Montgomery and

BE it rcsolrcd Gy the Committee on

the appropriation made by the Commit

lower branch OF the City Council Of the
sum of $500 for ministerial SER
vices to be performed by giving
Christian burial to the poor Of
our city, and since they have offered
their services to perform the sacred
duty, that the Superintendent Of the
City Almshouse be, and is hereby, in
structed not to bury or have buried any
of the poor who come under his charge
until he has notified the clergy that their
services are needed that he shall alter
nate between the different denominations
as shall be mutually most convenient /;
that he is instructed to keep a recorded
list of all who are buried with or without
Christian services, ana report the same
monthly to the committee at its regular

The committee expect the ministers

1.-THE Main Line" at fhe Academy
Inst Might.

The realistic drama "The Main Line
was seen at the Academy last night with
much satisfaction by fair-sized house.
Applause was liberal and the interest in
the piece, especially at the numerous
clima1es, ran high. The plot is laid in
Colorado, and the company's scenery,
showing mountains with railroad trains
running around them and stations with
different colored lights, is pretty.
Miss Alice Allen, in the role OF Possy,
the Western Union telegraph operator,
gave a very good picture of girl who
all her life had lived in the mountains
and around mining-camps and she can
sing and dance, too. Her support was
creditable throughout.
In the last act the scene changes and
Possy is transformed into young lady
with long dress. and then everybody
except the dude gets married. The play
will be repeated to-day.

should DO three whites and three cOlOred from
each ward. hut in the Third Ward there was a
split, and the chairman and most OF the wbite
men present left in a body. The split was caused
by q negro moving that the six men nominated
for delegates receiving the highest number Of
votes be declared elected but the whites being
in the minority. and knowing that this would
mean the election Of all colored men, bolted the
meeting.
After some delay the negroes Of this ward
elected a cOlorcd man chairman, and elected
delegates, but instead Of all negroes elected
three white men who are favorable to the party
whom the negroes want 70 nominate. There
was considerable opposition 20 the denomination
OF Mayor I. j. Jarratt shown at the ward meet
ings tonight, ono OF the wards (Fifth) going so
far az toinstruct her delegates against him. The
convention will consist Of eighteen white aud
eighteen colorcd delegates
The colOred people defeated the machine poll
