A Special couueII Meeting.

A special council meeting was held
on Monday morning, mainly for the
purpose Of considering and adopting
sanitary measures. The ordinance
adopted was one proposed ut the last
meeting, and IL somewhat milder In
It's provisions than the one which
was defeated . week ago.

for the walk ordered q week ago on
the east side Of Fifth, from Mulberry
to South streets.
Mr.. Godfrey called the attention
Of the council TO the fact that but
few persons had complied with the
order Of the street commissioner In

After considerable discussion the
question was disposed Of In :he old
familiar way, referred 10 committee
with power TO act"
The committee appointed TO con-
fer With Mr.. Baum about the electric
railway matter reported. It will be
remembered that at the last meeting
there was considerable dlssatisfact-
lon manifested ut the delay In the
matter Of construction, and . COM
mIttee was appointed to look into
the matter. The committee found
that Mr.. Baum was doing all he
could to push the work, and that the
delay was unavoidable. The COM
mittee was assured that the road
would be completed and In operation
by the time appointed.
The Sponsler claim was brought
up by Mr.. Levitt, who represents
Sponsler. This claim IL for some
lots on North santa Fe, that were

A Good Story SPOILED,

The Saturday Sun had . good story
In 1t on city Marshal swartE, which
turns out to be Q eanard, according
to Mr.. SwartE's own honest-to-good-
ness statement. The story was that
O man encountered . haekman at the
Junction and wanted to know where
he could get drink. The hsckman
being q thirsty soul himself, and
seeing In IL Q drink, told him to
come along with him and he should
be clothed rs the lily Of the valley
and decorated with diamonds, and
80 they both mounted the box and
drove away. Meanwhile SwartE
with that old Sleuth like way Of his
took q seat In the rear ostensibly
unbeknown to the haekman and his
client. They drove north and when
about 9 mile and q half from the
junction the hackman stopped aud
went back TO collect his fare, aud on
the marshal's refusal to put up he
was ignominiously fired and COM
PEELED to walk back.
When Q JOURNAL reporter call
ed on Mr.. SwartE he had not seen
the item In the Sun, and was totally
surprised. And after the reporter
related tn, story to him he laughed
so loud that the people ran out Of
their houses as far away rs South
street, thinking there was an alarm
OF flre. The story WIS . fake, he
said, and the only shadow Of truth
there was In Il was that . couple Of
weeks ago he was engaged In the
noble work OF cleaning up the morals
Of the city by expelling from our
midst pair Of women that Solomon
likened unto . deep ditch. That q
haekman with two suspicious look
ing lotharios on his box, was driving
toward the hAunts Of these women,
and that when under the glare Of the
light at the NJ. p. depot the hack.
man claimed he saw him on the rear
steps and cut behind with his whip,
driving him OF. Mr.. Swartz says
he was about thirty feet away at the
time, and the hackman must have
been suffering from the nightmare.
