GREEN GROCERs COMPLAINING.
A petition from the green grocers. com
planning that their business is seriously
injured through the nOn-entorcement OF
the city tax ordinance, was read and re-
ferred to the Committee on Market. The
petitioners claim that many dealers doing
a green grocers business only pay a re-
tailer's license; that many carry on the
green grocery business between October
and March without paying license, and
that hucksters ana street hawkers peddle
their wares on the street as "A regu-
larry organized business without being
required to pay the license fee fixed
in the ordinance. They therefore asked
that the Council provide for strict en-
foTcemeut of the ordinance.
Alderman Thomas introduced an ordi-
nance prohibiting the hauling Of sand,
manure, slops, or any other substance
through the streets which tends to OBJ
struct or change the grade, or render the
streets uneven.
The Finance Committee, in its report
upon the petition in regard TO resident
drummers, recommended the enforcement
Of the tax ordinance, which fully covers
the case.
A number of other matters were dis
posed Of, occupying the Council until
nearly II o'clock, when an adjournment

SHOT FOR A BEAsTLY CRIME.
Policeman Makers Vengeance on the
PerpetratOr of a Villainous Deed.

PerpetratOr of a VillainOus Deed.
jeremiah Seaman, well-known engi-
neer of the Savannah, Florida and West
ern railway, was on a regular spree yes
terday, and celebrated the occasion by
beating a woman named Angie Belmont,
living on Hull street, near Houston. He
afterwards ran her out of her house and
followed her into the street, where he was
flourishing a broom in a threateningman-
ner toward anybody who came within
range. While he was in the midst of his
demonstration word was telephOned to
the barracks and two policemen were dis
patched by way of the Habersham street
entrance to the barracks yard to secure
his arrest. The police were making good
time down Hull street when some one
called Scanlan's attention to their pres
euce, and he Immediately took to his heels
and made good his escape through the
alleyways adjoining the houses in the
vicinity, and the officers returned to the
barracks without their game. After they
had gone, Seaman came out from his
hiding-place, and, about 2:30 O'Clock, Sc
cured the little six-year-old son of Police
man Maher and, taking the child
into an clubhouse, compelled HIM
to commit an immoral crime.
The act was witnessed by two women
who reported the facts to a policeman.
The affair was kept from Officer Maher
until he went on duty last night when the
horrible story was told to him at the bar
racks. He Immediately asked the officer
on duty TO relieve him from his tour of
duty in the evening, which was granted.
He returned at once to his home, and put
ting on his citizens dress, started out in
search of Seaman. About $50 O'clock
he spied him on East Broad street talking
to some women about what he had
done. One of the women told
Seaman that the child's father was APP
proaching. Seeing Maher he took to his
heels again, and ran through a negro
barroom on East Broad street at the
corner Of South Broad street lane, with
Maher after him. He was Just In the act
of going over "A fence when Maher fired,
the ball from his pistol striking him in
the calf Of the leg. The wounded man
dropped TO the ground, and his pursuer
was prevented from firing again by his
wife and Policeman Neye, who had ar
rived Just in time. Seaman was taken
into custody and lodged in the barracks.

CROwNING THn MAY QUEEN.
The May Pole Dance and Festivities at
the United States Barracks.

the United States Barracks.
The May festival given yesterday and
last evening at the United States barracks
for the benefit Of the Industrial Relief So
ciety attracted n large assemblage of
people, VINO participated with the chill
dren, misses and masters in the pleasures
of the occasion. The lady managers of
the society, consisting OF Mrs. William
Wade, Mrs. Wilbur, Mrs. Cohen and
others, provided a number OF tables,
which were laden with refreshments
and a very prOfuse and handsome
collection of flowers, which proved
to be one Of the most attractive features
of the entertainment. About 30 young
people met on the parade ground in the
barracks inclosure and joined in the Nav
pole dance during the afternoon and
evening. The children's Nav queen was
to have been crowned at 5 o'clock, bat as
the ballots were not all counted in time
the pleasing ceremony was postponed
until O'Clock, when it was announced
that Miss jamie Cunningham had re-
ceiYed 100 votes. and, having a
large majority of the whole number Of
ballots cast, she was escorted to the
throne that bad been imprOvised for the
occasion and was crowned and received
the hearty congratulations of her many
friends. The ceremony was concluded
with the May pole dance, which appar-
emily was as much enjoyed by the specta-
tors as by the juvenile participants.
The honor of the young ladies queen
was accorded to Miss Annie Lynch, who
received 1877 votes. and made a very pretty
address from the throne. After the May
pole dance the assemblage entered the
hall in the second story of the building
overlooking the parade ground, on the
DraytOn street side, where dancing was
kept up until a late hour. 1t was esti-
mated that the receipts from the enter
tainment would approximate 5000.

One Dismissed, the Other Required to
Give Bail.


Give Bail.
Some time ago DIR. w. L. Hope leased
a farm and residence from Mr.. Frank
Grimball, at Isle of Hope, but it seems
that the duration of the lease was not
agreed upon. A few days ago the parties
had misunderstanding, when Grimball
seized all the tools and farming imple-
ments on the place and locked
them up. Hope at first intimated
that he would take the articles
by force, but finally decided to
consult a lawyer. BY advice he obtained
two warrants from Magistrate NJ. +. Mo-
lima, one against Mr.. Grimball, charging
him with breach OF good behavior, and
the other to regain possession Of the tools.
In the meantime Mr.. Grimball had a war
rant issued charging Mr.. Hope with
breach Of good behavior. This paper was
prompted by the threat which, II was al
legged, Hope made to retake the imple-
ments by force. The matter was brought
before Justice Molina yesterday for adu-
dication on the three respective warrants
above referred to. The statements Of the
parties showed that the lease they had
agreed upon was "A yearly lease under the
law. though not so expressed, and that Mr..
Grimball could not. of his own vOlition,
terminate it before the expiration of the
term or eject Mr.. Hope from the premises
or lock up the implements. Mr.. Grimball
was required to give a bond in the sum of
$500 to keep the peace, while the warrant
issued against Mr.. Hope was dismissed.

"a HEALTH CITY,

rum Scheme.

DIR. W. Chew Won Bibber, who, with a
number of other eminent physicians, Wis
tied South Florida some time ago, with a
view to reporting upon site for the cree
tiOn of a sanitarium, read an interesting
paper before the American Medical Asso-
citation at New Orleans upon the subject.
The NEWS, few days ago, gave an out
line Of the scheme advanced by an Eng
lish syndicate for the establishment of a
sanitarium at Piellas, on Tampa bay.
DR.. Won Bibber, in his paper
touching upon the matter, saws:
"What is wanted to complete Florida as a
sanitary and pleasure resort is a 'health
city, built after the ideal model drawn by
DR.. 7. b. Richardson, OF London. at the
Brighton meeting of the Social Science
Association in 1874. This projected city
was for 100000 inhabitants, living in
10000 houses, built on 1900 acres of land.
Every house is to be built on arches,
through which air flows freely, and down
the inclines of which all the water is
carried. The roofs are but slightly arched,
