LAST EDITION
CITY COUNCIL TONIGHT.
Financial Matters That WIN Come up for
Discussion and Settlement.


Discussion and settlement.
There will probably be slight ripple
in the proceedings of CITY Council to-
night over the bills of A. Il. Roberts, pub
Usher of the Wilmingtonian Democrat,
for printing. The bills amount to $64 ~
and s10S and were referred back to Mr..
Roberts at the last meeting Of council for
correction 1t is claimed that they exceed
the contract price and are irregular in
other ways. MIR. Roberts will make a
statement tonight and city Tax Collector
Martin j. Mealey will be present.
City Council will probably settle the
trouble over the $50,000 check for the
intercepting sewer. which City Treasurer
Griffith refused to sign beceuse there
was no appropriation to charge it TO- as
was stated on the face of the
check. 1t is probable that a new
check will be drawn, ordering it to be
paid Gin accordance with the act. City
Treasurer Griffith said this morning that
he would sign it when it was all right,
but would not say whether he would con
slider a check drawn as stated all right, OF
whether he would still insist on an ap
preparation being made
Ii is not probable that Council will take
any action on the communication of City
Treasurer Griffith asking for instructions
regarding the depositing Of the Street
and Sewer Departments moneys in the
Security Trust and Safe Deposit Com
pany. The department instructed
Mr. Griffith to that effect re
Gently. The action Of Council on tn,
Sl2O. 600 check virtually settled the mat
ter and the city treasurer will hereafte
deposit the Street and Sewer Depart
ments funds in whatever bank tn

Another Race War.

CAIRO, ILL.,, Sept. 13.-There are
symptoms of race war in Missouri
at Dexter, forty-two miles from here.
The people in that section have for
wears excluded all negroes from
among them. A short time ago a
man named Williams settled on a
farm near there and engaged a dozen
negroes to work for him. Fifty armed
white men waited ON him this week
and told him he must get rid of
the negroes. He said they might
kill him first. The armed men re-
turned to the town, where they circu-
lated paper, pledging signers to
stand by the regulators. About five
hundred men signed the paper.
About fifty men side with Williams,
among them, q hardware merchant
who has imported Winchesters and
ammunition sufficient to arm his
side. Further trouble is expected.
