Regular Meeting of Salem Council

The regular Decem Der meeting of tho
town council of Salem took place
Thursday night. The usual reports of
the regular committees were read but
contained nothing OF any interest to the
public except that the mayor reported
the number of fines collected for the
past month to amount to S3975.
The resignation OF J. M. Smith as
councilman for the first ward was &C
cepted, and w. b. >wles was elected
in his place. Cons derable discussion
was raised by the Offering by Mr.. Hans.
brugh, OF the finance committee, on the
grounds of economy and difficulty in
collecting taxes, the following resolu.
ton: THAT, during the months OF Jan
uary, February and March, 1894, the
services OF street foreman be dispensed
with, and that the street force during
SAID months consist only Of sufficient
men to work and care for the live stocks
unless the services of more men should
at any time be needed, when the street
committee shall be authorized to en-
ploy sufficient force to do any work
requiring immediate attention."
Councilman Strayer in opposing this
did so on the ground that it would be
false economy as there would be a good
deal OF work which must be done this
winter on the streets, and upon the
ground that il would be unjust to take
employment away from faithful Off
Ger without giving him timely notice.
If" said he, we're going to make a
cut, why let us cut all round. II we
dismiss the street foreman let us put
out all the mules to winter except one"
The mayor thought that head man
was needed to look after the tools and
feeolng OF the stock, besides which a
great deal of gravel must be laid on Ger.
tain streets this winter, and this,
Councilman Snuff indorsed.
Councilman Shipman moved as an
amendment that the matter be referred
to the street committee to report
thereon at regular meeting. This
amendment and the original motion
were both put to the vote and lost.
The ordinance regarding fireworks
was ordered to be suspended from 1 a. m.
Monday, the 25th of December to 10
o'clock the same night and the usual
order was made authorizing the treas
urer to issue pay warrants to the en-
ployes OF the town on the 23rd OF De.
cember. The use OF the town hall was
granted free OF charge to the Baptist
Orphanage on the night Of the both of
November.
An application from ID. l.. Coon for
certain rebates was laid on the table.
The use of certain incandescent lights
in the Bank of Salem building was
granted free for four nights in January
to the Roanoke Valley Poultry Associa-
ton.
The council then adjourned.

Election between these mirrors produces

them, the principle being the same as that
of the ordinary kaleidoscope. The original
face is made in profile, and the reflections
give the full face, opposite profile and two
rear views. The result Is curious and in

be useful in identifying criminals and an
improvement upon the single photograph

Hollow House Walls.

In building brick houses where they are
not protected by surrounding property it
should be considered that hollow walls will
add greatly to the convenience of the occu-
pants. Hollow walls will render the house
cooler in summer and warmer in winter
and will assist materially in keeping the
house dry. The cost of hollow walls is only
very little higher than that of walls built
solid. says The Canadian Architect.

SENATOR MURPHY threatens to resign
because his colleague in the Senate, Da-
vid Bennett Hill, insists that the noto-
rious Judge Maynard shall be nomina-
ted to succeed himself on the bench OF
the court of appeals. This sudden
spasm of political virtue which has over
come New York's senatorial brewer is
touching to behold, but it is to be feared
it will be of short duration. The man
who paid so much in money and CHI
canery to obtain a seat in the higher
branch of the national legislature is not
likely to throw it up because OF any con-
scientious scruples he may entertain OF
the fitness of candidate who has the
