TO CLOSE UP THE WELLS
THE SANITARY BOARDS RECON-
MENDATION ADOPTED.

The Pumps to be Removed from the
Streets and Squares, and Hydrants
Substituted Wherever Practicable
The Council Undecided Whether to
Fill Up the Wells, or Cover Them
Over to be Used in Case Of Emer-
gency.
The city council held short session last
night. There was very little business on
the clerks desk, aud what there was
was gone through with in a
hurry. The committee on water
reported resolution adopted
at a recent meeting of the sanitary board
recommending the removal of the city
pumps wherever practicable, and the substi-
tuition of hvdrants. The resolution passed
by the sanitary board is a follows
In the matter of removal of surface pumps
and the substitution Of hvdrantS, 1t was re
solved that the pumps be removed where II IS
practicable to supply hydrauts, and to replace
the pumps with hydrants when deemed neces-
sary by the city authorities.
The matter of removing the pumps and
filling I'D the wells in the streets and squares
was brought before the council some time
ago The members were not inclined to
shut M the wells unless the water in them
was deleterious to the public health. The
matter was referred to the sanitary board,
and the Georgia Medical society also took
up the question. The result was the adop
tion of the resolution embodied in the water
committees report.
The council is now undecided whether, in
substituting MIGRANTS for the pumps, tho
wells should be filled up, or whether they
should be covered over SO that they may be
used in case Of an emergency, such as the
temporary failure of the city's present
water supply Alderman Wells plan was
merely to remove the pump handles so
that the pumps could not tie used. Alder
man Myers, acting chairman of the water
committee, is il favor of filling up the wells
altogether The matter is with the water
committee, and will probably be decided in
a daY or two.

William f. Williams Brutal Assault
Upon Two Boys

William +. Williams Brutal Assault
Upon Two Boys.
William F. Williams is type of the most
brutal negroes, if the allegations made
against him be true. Two warrants were
sworn out against him yesterday for a
vicious assault last Tuesday upon two col
ored boys, Frank Days and a boy by the
name of Mills. DAYS was standing at the
junction of the City and Suburban railway
at Sand Fly station, when Williams is
alleged to have come up and asked, Amt
! a bullyf and without waiting a reply
knocked the boy down and beat him until
he was insenslble. Going a little further
on he accosted Mills, a lad of Is years, who
drives a City and Suburban car, and
asked Mills the same question, "Ain't
bully9n Mills said he didn't know, he didn't
want any fuss, and started to get away,
when Williams knocked him down and
drew pistol on him.
Justice Molina told the boys to point Will
Jams out to the first policeman they saw, as
Williams would be likely to dodge con

out TO Policeman Monk, and the latter

IN THE SUPREME COURT.
A Decision In the Policeman Burni
Case.

Among other decisions which the SUI
preme court handed down this week, is that
in the Policeman Burns case The case was
appealed from the superior court upon the
ground that the jury was not properly made
up also upon the charge of Judge Adams
TO the jury. The Judgment of the lower
court was affirmed. and Judge Blecxley in
his opiniol says:
l. Charles W Foster, a coored person un-
der 2l years of age, who was not upon the
official jury list of the county, but who was
actually serving upon the regular panel
under tho name of Charles Foster, should
have been challenged for cause proper
6etectUm before he was accepted and sworn.
The discovery atterward that he was not
another Charles Foster white man, who
was competent juror and whose name
was on the official list. but who was not
sworn on the panel, will not work new
trial Due diligence would have led to the
discovery in due time.
?. The charge Of the court that the police
man might use all tho force that was neces-
sary TO eifec,uate the arrest and overcome
resistance, sufficiently covered the facts in
evidence tending TO show that the object Of
beating was 20 prevent escape, or to arrest
and keep under arrest, or IN Suf-defense
And the remark Of the judge in respond
ing TO a request 10 charge further on the
first Of these topics, that he did not con-
slider the request applicable 10 the case, was
not such error ~ TO require new trial
3. An officer OF the law cannot Justify an
assault and battery upon his prisoner, on
the ground that the beating was provoked
10y the use u Opprubrious words or abusive
language. Section 1924 OF tho code applies
between private persons, not between pub

that the instruction had been TO leave it on
the port side, and under the rules they could
not award the prize. much as they desired TO
do 50, but they felt confident the board II
stewards would SEQ that thsy got the prize.
Although the Ocean Queen and Glance
