PONDER NOT A GOOD WITNESS.

The negro, Ponder, did not prove salts
factory witness for the city. He had evil
IDENTIFY been caught ia q trap and had made
up his mind to know as little as possible.
He testified TO meeting Baughn and his two
companions, and going with them to Mey-
er's place. On getting inside. however,
he said that he gave 30 cents
around through horse stable and after
ward came back with the whisky. He
didn't know where he got the whisky from,
nor anything else about it. He said he
didn't know anything about Meyers place.
and he had never bought whisky there on
Sunday before, and that he did not know
that whisky was sold there on Sunday. He
went in there because he heard people talk
ing inside, he said.
MEYER TELLS HIS STORY.
J. F. Meyer the saloonkeeper was sworn.
Meyer speaks very little English. and made
some very ri iiculous statements upinten-
tionally. He was quizzed good deal by the
aldermen and appeared to be willing to say
yes or no, either one or both, to anything
that was asked him He swore that he sold
no liquor on the Sunday in question, knew
of none being sold, and never allowed it to
sold in his place on Sunday.
Otto Geffcken, another West Broad street
groceryman and saloonkesper, testified that
he was at Meyers place all day Sunday and
that there was no liquor sold there to his
knowledge,
Geffken's English was not much better
than Movers
John Geffken, a young German boy. who
clerks for Meyer. was put on the stand. He
could not speak English at all and was ex-
amined by Officer Fahrenbach. He testi-
fled that he did not work on Sunday and
that Meyer had told him number of
times that he must not sell liquor on Sunday.
Mr.. Chisholm, attorney for Meyer,
argued that the city's witnesses had con-
tradicted themselves, and that the evidence
did not sufficiently point to Meyer as the
man who sold the liquor.
On motion TO sustain the sentence of the
mayor the yeas and nays were as follows:
Yeas-Bailey, Mcclure, Reid, Harris,
Cam and Carson.
Nays-Harmon, Myers and Harris.
Mr.. Chisholm gave notice that he would

THE STRIKERS MEETINGS.
There was another big meeting Of the
strikers last night at the Duffy Street Odd
Fellows hall, and speeches were made by
leading members of the union. The PROPOSE
ton of the commercial committee which was
rejected in the morning was brought up
again for consideration and was promptly
rejected.
''Our demand is very plain" said one OF
the strikers after the meeting, land the
railroad might as we'll understand at once
that we want nothing more nor will we ac>
cept anything less. We will carry on the
struggle quietly and peaceably and rely
upon God for our rights
At midnight everything was quiet on the
wharves. The police were patrolling with
their riees at shoulder arms, and most of
them said they were tired of that sort of
duty.
Supt. Wade OF the Cotton Press Associa-
ton called at the barracks last night and
told the officer In charge that the hands en-
ployed at the presses bad Informed him that
they would not go to work this morning
unless they were given protection. Supt.
Wade asked that two officers be placed at
the entrance to the presses and his request
will be granted. Two mounted men will be
stationed just below the gas house this
morning to see that the laborers are not
interfered with by the strikers.

GoULD's POND GONE Day.
The Ogeechee Canals Upper Lev
Fes6e- Thing of the Fast.

The Ogeechee Canals Upper Level
Fes6e- Thing of the Fast
Goulds pond, the reservoir which has
supplied the upper level Of the Ogeechee
canal, is probably thing OF the past. The
recent heavy rains caused the dam to give
way and the pond is as dry as bone. 1t is
estimated that it will require IS 900 to re-
pair the damage, and it is doubtful if the
company will be willing to expend that
sum, as the canal is now but little used.
The banking up of the water in this pond
has inundated the pine lands for miles
around, and has made them virtually unin~
habitAble. If Gould's pond is not again
used as a back water many thousands of
acres Of land in this county can be drained
aud made valuable, which, for the past
seventy-tive years, have been not only
valueIess, but detriment to the public
health.
Gould's pond has been for years the resort
Of the disciples Of Isaak Walton, and many
fish fry and chowder has been cooked
upon its banks.

THE COUNTY, RATF,

The county rate has beea kept within
bounds each year. considering the demands
made for school purposes, which in 1873
amounted to SIS, 900 per annum, and which
now call for SIS. 900, an increase of $40, 900
over the assessments made the first year
The county was required to bear the burden
alone, which had previously been borne by
the city and county conformity.
AS the increase in county valuations keep
advancing the rate of county taxation will
further decrease. and as soon as the new
court house, which cost, complete, about
$4,000, shall have been paid for, an ans
nual decrease in the rate may be looked for.
In 1888 the total valuations wore S19. $50, =
000, and in 1891 they were $50, AIS, 900, an in
crease of nearly $l1 100000 in eight years.

Ingersoll on California.

In recent magazine article. Mr.. Ernest
Ingersoll, the noted writer, says:
1.-The climate of Southern California in
winter closely resembles that of Egypt.
Its equability is constant, and its dryness
is proverbial. The only complaint made is
that it is too nearly perfect. Residents
bred in the eastern states confess now and
then that rousing storm would give them
grateful sensation But this sentiment
meets with no favor from the man who has
chilling gales. To him perpetual summer
seems perpetual paradise, and to the in
valid dreading the advance of disease, the
still. arid atmosphere is as the breath of
life''
