ing, by the mayor and city clerk and
the executors of the will of John w.
Cole, deceased, aud the legatees and
devlsees of John W. Cole, deceased, :,
OF an agreement as recommended in a
report OF a committee appointed by
this council adopted this date; and the
city attorney is hereby instructed to
enter into a stipulation with the attor-
neys for the respective parties discon-
tinuing said litigation.
The matter of vacating that portion
of Bailey street lying between Fifth
and Sixth streets, and opening mar
row alley through it, was taken up
and discussed at length. A petition
praying for vacating and a 10 foot
alley was presented, signed by John
Habhegger, w. d. Sproesser and
other First ward taxpayers. The
committee on streets and bridges, to
whom previous petition had been
referred, recommended the vacating
of the street and the opening of a u
foot alley in the center. a resolution
was finally parsed, unanimously. pro-
viding for the institution of vacation
proceedings and the laying out of 10
foot alley. The object of this action
is to add more room to the high school
property, which is considered very
necessary. Fifteen feet will thus be
added on the south side of this pro-
perty, while at the same time the
property abutting the north side of
Bailey street, owned by j. w. Wiggen-
horn and the S. r. Sleeper estate,
will likewise be benefited. The pro-
position to close up the street caused
some opposition at first from Aid.
Wertheimer, but he finally was won
over.
The committee on public buildings
reported in favor of having water sys-
TENS placed in the city hall and Phoe-
nix engine house. The matter was
referred back to the committee to as
certain the cost of such systems.
The Judiciary committee recon-
mended that a settlement be made
with William Behring'S attorney by
offering $50 damages and the costs
thus far accrued. The recommended
tior was approved. Behling sued the
city to recover damages on account of
the board of public works having tres
passed on his property last fall and
illegally removed his fence, which
was thought to obstruct William street,
Seventh ward.
The contract entered into by the
board OF public works with Henry
Willenbockel for repairing Main street
bridge was approved by the council
and white pine planking and stringers
ordered to be used.
AID. Needham introduced resolu-
tion, which was unanimously adopted,
requesting Harlow Pcase and John G..
ConN ay to render their bills for fees
as counsel for the city in the Cole will
case litigation to the council within
the ensuing fifteen days.
By resolution the city attorney was
directed to take legal proceedings to
have a dwelling owned by Mrs. w.
Quis, at College avenue and Eleve nth
street, removed from the highway,
into which it projects about four feet.
Aid. Skinner explained that he and
Aid. Needham had done all in their
power to prevent the obstruction, but
without avail.

A DEAD STRANGER,
Unknown Man Selects Refrigerator
Car In Which to Die-Body Found
Yesterday at st. Paul Depot

The lifeless body of an unknown
man was found IN a refrigerator car
standing in the Chicago, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul railway yards, south of the
depot, yesterday afternoon about 3
o'clock. The discovery was made by
Yardmaster Usher, who had gone to
the car with the switch engine, intend
ing to remove it. The car had stood
on the siding for nearly a week.
The city authorities were at once
notified and the body removed to the
morgue, in charge of Chief of Police
Block. Nothing by which to identify
the man was found on his person.
He had no papers of any sort. A
pocket book containing a penny, a
spool of thread and some needles were
about all his pockets contained. His
coat and hat were removed and lying
medicine was also found in the car,
with the label of a Columbus drug
store on it. The man appeared to be
about 80 or 80 years Old His clothes
were light colored.
1t is said the deceased was seen in
the railway yards Friday evening, and
in response to a query said he had
walked in from Waterloo. He COM
planned of being i'll and asked to be
directed to a barn where he could lie
down. 1t is also claimed he was
seen again Saturday. AS the body
was not decomposed at all, it is prob
able the mans death occurred within
a day previous to the discovery.
A coroner's inquest held by Justice
Henze disclosed no particulars. Drs.
Field and Moulding testified that in
their opinion the man met natural
death. The medicine in the bottle,
they said, was a harmless laxative.
This morning the body was taken to
Jefferson for interment at the county
farm.

Fire Extinguisher Test

An exhibition test of the power of
the Stemple fire extinguisher, manu-
factured in ST. Louis, was given n
this city Monday afternoon by our
former townsman, Lee B. Skinner,
general agent for the Stemple COM
pany. A small shed of pine boards
was erected near the corner of West
Main and Water streets, and on the
interior shavings, paper and other
light cOmbustibles were stacked, the
entire structure being saturated with
kerosene. At a given time torch
was applied and tongues of fire sprang
upward, the result being a hot blaze
in very short time. When the fire
had gained good headway Mr.. Skinner
applied the contents of one of the ex-
tinguishers to the flames and in an in
stant they were subdued, the charred
frame work remaining intact. The
Stemple extinguisher had performed
its work SO quickly and satisfactorily
that all who witnessed the feat mar
veled at the efficiency displayed.
There have been other fire extinguish-
er tests here, but none, we believe,
showed such instantaneous success as
this one. Mr.. Skinner expects to
establish an agency here and at other
places in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

The Hoppy Will Case.

Last Tuesday Judge Christensen
decided not to admit the will of the
late Carl Hoppy, of the town Of Shields,
to probate. When application was
made few weeks ago for the proof
of the will, objections were filed to
the proceedings, by Malone & Bach
huber, attorneys for two of the heirs
and legatees, Mrs. Sumner Lewis and
Mrs. Z. Thibbits, of this city, daughters
of Mr.. Hoppy The will bequeathed
to each of them $3.50, which they con-
sidered less than just share. The
property consists of 140 acres of land
in the town of Shields, besides some
personal property. The total value is
between ten and twelve thousand dol
lars and there are the widow and eleven
children in the family. Some of the
children had been provided for prior
to the death of Mr.. Hoppy. 1t is
probable that the property will now
be divided equally among the heirs. =

THE INTELLIGENCER has just put in
a new and larser press, and this week
greets its reader, in a new form. This
will give us much more space and con-
sequently much more reading matter,
which we believe will be appreciated
by our patrons. We propose to make
the 1NTELL1GENCER more interesting
than ever before, and from time to
time add new features to it. AS is
well known, the INTELLIGENCER is not
the organ of any organization or of
any man, and will continue to advo-
cate the principles Of true Democracy
and work for the best interests Of
Anderson County and the State Of
South Carolina, Politics, however,
are not our forte. The INTELLIGENCER
has always been a model family paper,
and we shall continue to make it such
in future. We can still boast of hav-
ing the largest circulation Of any
County weekly in the State, and we
hope to merit in the future the liberal
patronage that has been given us in
the past. In making this change we
have gone to considerable expense,
and we trust our patrons will show
their appreciation Of our efforts by d
prompt response to our calls for re-
numeration for services already rem
dered

We are afraid that there will be too
many cotton seed sold this fall on account
of the low price Of cotton. If the farmers
will make compost out of their, seed and
put it under corn and manure high and
not work 80 much land and work it Oft
ener, they would make more progress at
it, and then plant the whole county in cot
ton and want a ton Of fertilizer to go over
it. Why not plant small crops and ma
nure high and work it oftenero You can't
raise cotton and pay old debts at present
price, 6 cents.
