Commissioners Elected.

The Justices of the Peace of the
county met in the court house Monday
and elected Board of County Com
missioners FOR the ensuing two years.
J. A. Fleming. Middlebure, and Thos.
Taylor, Townsville, of the old board,
were reelected. The new members
are Geo. w. kittrell. Kittrell, J. E.
Burroughs, Dabney, and J.R. Young,
Henderson. The new board speaks for
itself. 1t is composed Of good men and
is strong one at every point. They
will qualify in December.
The retiring members are James
Amos, chairman, J. H. Dunn and J.
A. Kelly. There was opposition to
Mr.. Amos, as we understand it, on
account Of the appointment Of list
taker in his township, causing pique
and dissatisfaction on the part of some.
AS regards this matter, however, it is
due Mr.. Amos to say he was not re-
sponsible for it; and the Board had
been instructed by one of the members
to vote against the various candidates
for reasons satisfactory to them, and
what he did was solely in the interest
of the tax payers and the welfare Of
the county. Mr.. Dunn having re-
signed at the May meeting his name
was not allowed to 60 before the meet
ing, while it appears that Mr.. Kelly
was turned down because of his politi
cal views.
In justice to these gentlemen it must
be said that they have made capable
and efficient officers, discharging their
duties with credit to themselves and
profit to those whom they served.
Their official acts have been marked
by conservative yet wise and judi
cious spirit, capacity for the business
in hand and fidelity to the trust reposed
in them. AS presiding officer Mr..
Amos has demonstrated his fitness for
the place and made as capable an Off
cial as he is good man and valuable
citizen.
Among the business disposed of a
new tax levy was made. This was
the work of a joint meeting of the
County Commissioners and Board Of
Magistrates.

A program sparkling with fun has been arranged by Miss Justine Inger- soil for the "Kleine Kinder Christmas Carnival" to be given at the Hyperion tomorrow. New Years day. matinee and evening" Among the numbers to be given will be the polka love songS "The Love Letter." sung by Miss Gertrude Roy. a young lady of ten. Miss Rita Smith. another young prima donna. will sing Boarding School Delights" from 'Dr. syntsx." and the wonder. Baby Ruth. four-years-old. will sing
 The Lily and the Rose" They way in which these young artists execute their songs and dances show with what care ful training they have been brought to their present state of perfection. and they will most assuredly captivate the audiences. Edith Barr, the clever child actress, as "Columbine." will tell Hans Andersen's Story of Punchinello" to the assembled "Pierrots." and those who have had the privilege of seeing this useful star declare her to be a perfect art jewel. This occurs in the opening ballet. "The Ballet of the Pierrots." A fine vaudeville performance is then giv- en by the children, assisted by MT. Nor gan, the grotesque clown, and La Ca mellia." the Spanish dancer.
 La Camellia" is a most beautiful woman, perfect brunette with beauti- ful dark eyes, which seems to have an electrical effect upon the audience, and when seen in her magnificent costume of pink and gold, tapping her heels in unison with the castanets she Is bound to capture the hearty applause and good will of the audience, making her performance gigantic success.
 Wherever this charming dancer has ap- peared she has left behind her record equal to, if not better than her rival, Carmencita. Morgan, the grotesque clown, will own all the little ones after they have seen him in his clever per formance of Fun and Silence" The costumes are marvels of the costumers' art. and have been made by Mrs. Sol tau. The musical portion of the pro- gram has received special attention, and will be furnished by the Philhar- monic orchestra under the direction of the we'll known leader, Frank Fichtl. Miss Ingersoll earnestly requests that no flowers be sent to the theater, and has given positive orders that no floral offerings shall be passed over the foot lights, and those who know Miss Inger- | soils good judgment in matters of this kind will no doubt heartily respond to her request.

The n. II. Douglas. Failure.

Said one of our prominent, business men yesterday. the real facts pertain ing to the B. H. Douglass & Sons financial trouble should be known. The firm were doing as fine business as any concern in New England in that line. The business was conducted with unusual ability and the concern was a credit to New Haven enterprise. But the house became unexpectedly ham, pered by want of sufficient working capital.
 In 1888 they acquired the premises 26 and 2s Crown street. from the as- stgnee of the bankrupt estate Of E. 8. Wheeler & Co. at n very low price.
 They made arrangements in 1890 with a capitalist who had for years furnished large amounts of funds to other par ties, to loan them what they required to adapt the premises for store and shops for their use. Sooon after the contracts for the alterations were signed. the Barring Brothers failure took place. and the capitalist on whom
 
 heavy losses. and In consequence the ourtailment of bank accommodations consequent on the Barring failure. B. IT. Douglass & Sons were obliged to complete the contracts. using their active capital and credit. Soon after the hard times came on and the dlmin- ished active capital was felt. owing to delayed collections, and the many losses from failures of their customers in business. The tying up of their capital, the high price of material used in their manufacture for good part of the last three years. and the more than usual number of bad debts owing to the hard times. are the causes of their difficulty. Their plant is very complete and satisfactory. They have done a large business. and until above causes interfered. they were pros- porous.
