THE BOARD gOF ALDERMEN.
The Contract to Number the Houses
and Residences Given Out.

The Board of the city Aldermen met
in their regular monthly business meet
last night at the mayors office. There
was much business to attend to and the
session lasted until 1870 o'clock. On
account of pressing business it was de-
cided to hold a semi monthly meeting
instead of monthly, until further notice,
to 60 into effect at once. The meetings
will be held on the first and third Mon
day nights OF each month.
The Board decided to rebuild the city
stables, which were destroyed by fire on
the morning of October 22d, at once and
appointed committee to consider the
matter. The losses on the old stables
have been adjusted.
The contract to number the residences
and business houses of the city was
given out to Messrs. Niche Il Edwards
for 1925. The houses of the city I'M
doubtedly needed numbering, and the
aldermen have repeatedly asked the
property owners to have it done, but
only few complied with the request.
Finally the aldermen decided TO have 1t
done at the expense of the city, and the
contract was given out. Durham has
free mail delivery, and heretofore it has
been very hard for the carriers to find
the places wanted.
A hydrant was ordered placed at the
junction of Mangum and Cleveland
streets, in the extreme northern part of
the city. The idea was advanced that
the city needed more police officers, but
the alderman failed to see the point and
no action was taken in the matter.
The different committees made their
report, some of which were quite lengthy.

DEATH OF A YOUNG PRIEST.
Rev. Edward J. Kelley Has Gone TO Lis
Eternal Reward.

49,
Eternal Reward.
Death at S O'Clock yesterday morning
ended the young life Of Rev. Edward
j. Kelley at his fathers home, S14 Mon
roe avenue.
The departed priest was the son Of
on Nov. .. 1876 He was ordained on
Jan. Il. of this year. at st. Peters
cathedral. and celebrated his first mass
here on the following Sunday, Jan. 20.
1t was his last time at the altar as a
celebrant Of the holy sacrifice OF the
mass, the strain of the ceremony being
too much for his weakened and debih-
tated system to stand.
Entered ST. Charles College.
At the age Of II, after finishing a
course in the common schools, he en-
tered st. Charles college, conducted by
the Sulpician fathers at Ellicott City,
Maryland. They are noted for the
strictness and regularity OF their lives,
and the rules of the college are in ac-
cordance. The future priest was in q
congenial realm, for even in the heyday
of youth, he loved to be obedient and
to conform to all the exacting rules and
regulations imposed upon students
Six years of hard study passed ac-
quiring a classical and philosophical
knowledge in the college. and in Sep
tember 1890, he entered st. Mary's
seminary. under the same fathers. at
Baltimore. Ill health forced him to
come home in February, 1894, but he
was so jealous to obtain the crown of
priesthood that at home he studied hard
and was rewarded with the fulfillment
OF his hope, when on the day mentioned
he was ordained priest Of God.
Been Confined TO His Home.
Since his first mass he had been con-
fined to his room. and his final hours in
this world were peaceful and happy;
he passed to region where the eternal
sun Of happiness is shining just like a
child dropping off calmly to sleep.
The home was visited in the after
noon by Right Reverend Bishop O'Hara
and very many priests Of the diocese.
The remains will repose In the late
home until tomorrow evening. when
they will be removed to st. Peters
cathedral until 10 o'clock Thursday
morning, when solemn high mass Of
requiem will be cslebrated. Interment
VIII be made in Hyde Park Catholic
cemetery.
