MEMBERS TIRE OF
THIS COMMITTEE.
Council Committee on Electricity
Without Authority and It's AboIi-
ton Has Been Suggested.

Some of the members of the Council
committee on electricity are tired of be-
ing "fgure-heads." and there is a strong
sentiment growing in the committee for
it's abolition. The work pertaining to the
inspection of electrical work could easily
be transferred to the committee on light,
the street committee, or to the board of
fire commissioners.
The committee has no power to do any
thing excepting the inspection of wiring
and the granting of permits to the electri-
cal concerns Of the city to install a cur
rent in q, house.
AS to the stringing of wires sin the
streets, which some think should be in the
hands of the electricity committee. the
committee on streets has Jurisdiction and
sometimes there is conflict between the
two committees
When asked for his opinion yesterday
concerning the abolition of the committee
a member said that it was a good propo-
sition, and that he thought the committee
could be dispensed with without being
missed by any one.
When the application of Captain Andrew
Pizzini, Jr., and others for the right to
install a burglar alarm service in the city,
comes up before the Council Committee
on Streets this afternoon. 1t is expected
that considerable fight will develop upon
il. There are some Of the members of the
Council who think the proposed ordinance
is altogether too general and too liberal
and it is proposed to contest it if it is not
made more conservative.
Under the rules of the committee the
franchise will have to be taken up at e
meeting called specially for the purpose.
The general impression. however, is that
the proposed franchise will go on the
table to await the enactment, OF laws by
the General Assembly putting into full
operation the portions Of the new Consti-
tuition relating to the granting of new
franchises by the cities. A number OF
franchises that have been asked for since
July 10th are sleeping with Clerk STRAIT
ton in this manner.

ARGUMENTS IN wILcox,s CASE.
Three Speeches Yesterday-To Close
Today-Jury to Take the Cace To-
morrow.

Elizabeth City. ". c., March 1s.-The
court house was crowded TODAY during
the arguments in the Cropsey murder
trial Many women were present
Three lawyers were heard today. The
closing speeches will be made tonor-
row by Solicitor Ward for the state
and E E. AydIett for the defense. The
case will probably go to the jury on
Friday.
w. j. Leary concluded his speech, be-
gun yesterday, in behalf of the defend
ant. He asserted thai Nellie Cropsey
committed suicide. Suicide. he said.
had been suggested and discussed the
night before and Nellie took part in it.
j. Haywood Sawyer followed for the
state. He reviewed the evidence tend
ing to show that the girl had not
drowned herself and asserted her death
was due to a blow.
w. NJ. Bond, of Edenton. followed Mr..
Sawyer. He spoke for the defense.
Among other things he said.
There are only two questions in this
case. Was the girl killed? If so, who
killed her? Is the evidence sufficient
TO convict the prisoner? / say that it
is not. There was nothing certain or
positive about what the expert doctors
said. DR.. Fearing went to work on the
case with distorted judgment. He be-
lfeved that Wilcox mad done the girl
whatever wrong had been done. This
is shown by the fact that he left the
body after the first examination with
out having found single mark of vio-
lence. DIR. Wood said the absence of
any one of the symptoms OF drowning
could not be taken as positive evidence.
Or. Lumsden swore that he could not
give expert testimony in a case where
a person had been dead thirty-seven
Gays and the body buried in the water.
There is nothing positive in the evil
dence. 1t is all circumstantlal."
