OTHER LOCAL NEW 5.
THE SALOONS CLOSED,


 Governor Jones issued an order Sunday night closing all saloons. This power is given him by an act of the general assem- bly, of Alabama, for the prevention of riots, mobs and tumults, passed and approved February 28, 1888, page 100. This act gives very large powers in times of disturbance to the authorities. It requires everybody who sells liquor, arms or ammunition or explosives to close whenever the governor has reason to believe that a mob or riot has occurred or is likely to occur, and a failure to comply with the order forfeits the license and forever deprives the party from engaging in the business and subjects him to fine of not less than $500 nor more than 5000 and be may also be imprisoned for not more than one year.
 It imposes imprison meut in the county jail for six months and fine of $500, with forfeiture of license, to any person who sells liquor to any troops on duty without written order from the commanding officer of the troops. It authorizes the governor or commanding officer of the troops to close up barrooms, etc., for such length of time as is deemed proper. and forfeits the license of the party offending, and punishes him with imprisonment in the county jail for not exceeding six months.
 A number of liquor dealers held a meet ing in hall on Twentieth street, between First and Second avenues, yesterday morn ing and discussed the governors order to close the saloons. They appointed a com. mittee to wait on the governor and see if he would not rescind the order.
 The committee called on Governor Jones in his room at the Morris hotel and pre- sented their views. The conference lasted for some little time and was of pleasant nature. Governor Jones assured the com mittee that soon as he deemed it wise to do so he would permit them to open their places of business.
 Another meeting of wholesale and retail liquor dealers was held in the same hail last night to hear the report of the com mittee. The report was discussed, but no action taken.
 About thirty dealers were present, and they resolved to go into a permanent or ganization, and committee on constitu- tion and bylaws was appointed. This committee will meet at 10 o'clock today and will report to meeting to be held Wednes- day.
 OFFER OF VOLUNTEERS.
 The governor is being flooded with let ters and telegrams from all parts of the state, rendering services of volunteers. As the suffering becomes more intense in the commu mites from the blockade the more angry and determined the people get.
 A detachment of about twenty five sol diers from Mobile came up on the Louis- vile and Nashville train at midnight in command of Lieutenant Mitchell.
 SOLDIERS KISSED.
 A large crowd of strikers and sympa- thizers assembled at Twentieth street and the railroad about o'clock yesterday evening, and when ordered to disperse hssed and ieered the soldiers. They were dispersed aL the point of the bayonet.
 Between 2 and o'clock yesterday after noon a detachment of soldiers had to charge mob at Eighteenth street before they would disperse.
 With those two exceptions everything was quiet among the troops.

TELEGRAMS AND LETTERS.

These telegrams in themselves give some idea of the overwhelming loyalty and cordial sem timent of the people in support of law and order. Some of them were from labor or- gauzations, approving the step taken here and protesting against any assumption that the criticisms of the measures taken 10 preserve the public peace and enforce ob- servsuce of the law of the lend represent the views of any considerable numberg oL these people. nr
