At the last meeting of the Wildwood
Borough Council the following letter
was submitted by the Solicitor:
435 Drexel Building,
Philadelphia, Feb. %, 1899.
To the Mayor and Council of the Bor-
ough of Wildwood:-In reference to
the items pertaining to Assessor and
Collector in the Proposal of the sum of
money deemed necessary to be raised
by taxation for the ensuing year, as
your Solicitor | beg to call your atten-
ton to the provision relating to COM
pensation of Assessor and Collector con-
tanned in Section 20 of the General Act
Relating to Boroughs, approved April
oath, 1897, which provides as follows:
1.-The Assessor and Collector shall re-
ceive such yearly compensation for
their services as the Council shall by
ordinance fix and determine, which
compensation shall not be increased or
diminished during the term for which
such officer was elected
As the salaries of these officers were
fixed at the beginning of their term of
office, the same cannot be legally in
creased, under the provision above re-
ferred to, during the continuance of
their present term.
Permit me to say that in addition to
my duty to make suggestions to your
honorable body on such legal matters
as may come to my attention, it gives
me pleasure to guard as far as possible
the interests of the taxpayers of the
Borough of Wildwood; and to that end,
while l fully appreciate your compli-
ment OF an increase in my salary for
the ensuing fiscal year, | feel that |
must decline same at the present, as
the extensive public improvements are
requiring heavy expenditures on the
part of the property holders of the
Borough.
By careful management you were
able to reduce the tax rate during the
present fiscal year from the previous
year; aud if the present rate eau by any
possibility consistent with progressive
movements be still further reduced, it
will undoubtedly be heartily appre-
ciated by all u taxpayers. And that,
together with the excellent financial
standing and condition of the Borough
largely due to the care and fidelity OF
its officials who are entitled 10 the
thanks of the people, will prove one OF
the best advertisements the town can
have. Your obediant servant,

Borough Solicitor.

from acknowledging the fact that ne
uses oleomargarine instead of pure
butter. Broadwell was a witness before
the senate pure 1000 investigator
committee today. .
It's the strangest kind Of a game"
he said to Senator Mason, who is
chairman of the committee. this de-
ception that is going on simply because
a man is too proud to let his friends
know that he is using anything that
is not the real article. 1t would surprise
you if you could learn Of the million
aires that come into my store every
day and carry home their little pack
age Of oleomargarine and then pass 1t
off on their swell friends as the real
butter"
Broadwell was called before the COM
mittee to explain why the internal
revenue law regulating the stamping
of al packages Of o~leomargar1ne were
not enforced.

Place of Next Confederate Reunion.

= Charleston, May 1.-THE Louisville
delegation is tonight claiming that the
selection of that city for the next meet
ing of the United Confederate Veterans
is practically assured and it is said that
she has already secured the promise of
the solid vote of Arkansas, Alabama,
North Carolina, Maryland, West Vir-
ginia, and parts of other state dele
cations. In fact there seems to be a
lack of organization on the part Of the
other candidate cities, though Norfolk
and Baltimore are said to be actively
in the race. There is some talk of st.
Louis and Memphis wanting to receive
the veterans, but this is as yet rather
indefinite. There is an amendment to
the constitution pending which provides
that no reunion shall be held in any
but the seeding states and II this is
carried some confusion will result

NO DOUBLE LYNCHING
False Kumor Yesterday of Lynching
In Pitt County.

In Pitt County.
Several of the northern papers yes
terday morning had their correspon-
dents in this city wildly chasing a. ru-
NOR Of a double lynching in Pitt coun-
ty, this state. The report, which was
probably based ON a special from New
Bern to the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot. to
the effect that it was reported that two
negroes had been lynched in the county
mentioned, got into circulation early in
the morning, but proved to be false.
Wher the rumOr became current it was
Thought to be a true one, as during the
past fortnight negroes in Pitt county
have committed several horrible crimes
Last Saturday night at Bethel Consta-
ble Bryan was dangerously shot by a
crowd of negroes, three of whom were
arrested and jailed at Greenville, and
ten days previously at Dongola the
store of a white man named Turnage
was burned and his nephew killed.
For the commission of this crime sever
al negroes were arrested.
The Messenger wired to Greenvllle
about the reported lynching and re-
ceived the following reply:
Constable Bryan living and lnprov-
ing. Three negroes in jail for the
crime, but there has been no threats OF
lynching. Detectives still at work upon
the Dongola case, and made three more
arrests yesterday, but the parties were
Afterwards discharged, there being no
evidence against them. Six negroes
now in iail for the crime and will be
given a preliminary trial Monday.
