ON TIME OR NO MEETING.
Mayor McDonough Adjourns Council
for Want of a Quorum.

Mayor McDonough last night carried
out his threat that the failure of alder
men to be prompt for council meeting in
the future would mean no meeting.
The meeting adjourned from Memorial
day was set for last night and Mayor
McDonough sent out notices that there
would be 10 caucus and that the meeting
would be called promptly at $ 30 o'clock.
At that hour there were only six mem
bCrs present, Alderman Wells, O'Brien,
Mcmillan, Cam, Folliard and Screven.
The moment the minute hand of the
clock in his private Office covered the half
hour mark Mayor McDouough rolled back
the doors leading into the long room and
marched in at the head of his six col
leagues. Taking his seat at the head Of
the table the mayor said:
Mr.. Clerk, count the members"
Only six present said Mr.. RebaTer
"Gcntlemen,' said Mayor McDonough,
las a quorum has failed to respond, de
clare the meeting adjourned subject TO
call of the mayor
Then he walked out, the aldermen fol-
lowed and five minutes later the exchange
was in darkness. Under old GUS
toms, with the caucus arrangement,
the aldermen were given fifteen
minutes grace after the called hour of
meeting but hereafter Mayor McDonough
will not give one minute grace. His
motto in the future is to be: Either
punctuality in attendance or no meeting. "
If any of the delinquents showed up after
5: 30 they were probably surprised TO find
the exchange in darkness, but no doubt
they will be more prompt next time.
Mayor McDonough says he does not know
when he will call the meeting.

Mention has already been made of the
closing of the private charity of Mrs
Charles Green, knownas Little Minnie's

its good work of caring for homeless little
ones will be continued by that cstimable
lady. 1t is not proposed, however, to
abandon the work heretofore done in this

DANGER FROM THE WIRES.
One of Them Fell Yesterday on
Broughton Street Near Bull.

bEOuBhtOn SLfeet near Bu4l.
One of the telephone wires crossing
Broughton street near Bull broke ycster-
day from some cause or other and in fall
ing lodged on the electric car trolley
wire, from whore it ran down to the
ground. This established a complete cir
cult of the strong current used by the
electric cars, and a long coil of the wire
laid on the ground for some time, being
menace to any teams that were passing
or any one who should happen to cross the
street at that point.
Fortunately the wire was discovered
by the police as it fell. and they remained
on guard until man could be sent for to
cut it down ard remove it. One team
that was in somewhat of hurry barely
missed driving over the wire. The cur
rent, while hardly strong enough to kill a
man under all circumstances, is almost
certain death to an animal whose nervous
temperament is differently constituted
Some provision should be made by which
this source of danger from electric wires
would be removed

RAIL AND CRossTTE.

An Atlanta dispatch says it is probable
that the Macon and Birmingham road
will be valued for taxation by arhitratOrs.
Receiver Sparks has sent the controller
general a statement which repreS 3nted
the road to be worth only half as much
as was shown by the return of last year
The controller rejected this, and the re-
ceiver now calls for a board of arbitra-
tors He makes an affidavit which is very
striking, considered in connection with
the shrinkage in value of railroad proper
tv in this section. 1t says that if the
rails were pulled up from the rOadbed of
the Macon and Birmingham they would
sell for a better price than the line as it
stands, including the iron, can be sold for.
The management of the Kansas City,
Fort Scott and Memphis has decided to
establish hospital for the benefit of the
employees of the road. The scheme is one
that is meeting universal commentator
and may be in the end adopted by all
roads in the south. Three surgeons and
one physician will be kept in connection
with the hospital which will be located
at Kansas City. An assessment of 30
cents and 30 cents every month will be
made on the salary of each employee for
the purpose of defraying the expenses of
the institution.

AS the hour wore away, however, Mr..

quietly and there were no indications of
immediate dissolution and advised them
to retire. They did so, and DR.. Hyatt re-
turned home, leaving DR.. Johnston in
charge of the patient.
Mr. Blaine's rest continued unbrol1en
until daylight, and, from all indications
apparent outside, none of the watchers
were disturbed at any time.
At o'clock DR.. Johnston responded TO
an inquiry at the door by a reporter that
Mr.. Blaine was likely to die at any time,
but at o'clock he stated that there was
then no probability of death occurring
for some hours at least. An hour and q
half later, theIdoctor left the house fol
his own home to gain a few hours

the following statement:
"Since o'clock Mr.. Blaine has rested
