Drowning at Bethsny Park.

The first accident hat ever occurred
at Bethany Park was the drown
ing. Saturday night. of Mr.. Joseph Tilford,
of Martinsville. About midnight shouts
on the lake aroused many people and it
was quickly ascertained that somebody
was drowning. All efforts at rescue proved
unavailing, and after working three hours
the body of the unfortunate young man
was recovered. With several companions
Mr.. Tilford had gone bathing. and. swim
ming out too far, became exhausted before
he could reach the shore. lie sank be-
fore help could reach him. He was twenty
years old, and had been spending the sea-

That Illegal Salary Raise.

It is probable that mt to-nights meeting
of the Council another resolution will be in
troduced inquiring into the legality of the
salaries of the city officials raised by ordi-
nance shortly after the charter went into
effect. The charter clearly says that the
salaries of officials or employees shall be
neither increased nor decreased during the
terms for which they were elected or ap-
pointed. A resolution Of inquiry into this
subject was presented q month ago. but the
Democratic majority was afraid Of an in
vestigation. and promptly tabled it by q
strict party vote. Since that time, how
ever, the Democrats have heard from their
constituents on the subject and another eff
fort will be made to have an investigation.
