Were Principally Qualifications of
Plumbing Ordinance.

Alderman Smiths ordinance against the
use of automatic flush tanks in closets,
and requiring that all globe valves now in
use be substituted for hand-pull tanks, was
placed on it's second reading at the meet
ing Of Council yesterday afternoon and de-
feated The object of the ordinance IS
claimed to be for the purpose of stopping
the constant flow and waste OF water
through automatic tanks, but it was sug-
gested all the provisions in II were cover
ed by the new plumbing ordinance.
The ordinance was killed piecemeal
Alderman Owens first took exception to
the great expense on property owners in
making changes from the automatic to
the hand-pull flush tanks. 1t Is esti-
mated there are 1920 tanks TO be changed
at an average cost Of SO each. Accord
ing to the ordinance this work, costing
property owners 81 60 was to be done by
Sept. l. Alderman owens believed it was
too great a hardship. and, therefore,
moved the ordinance be laid on the table
This was lost, after which it was moved
that section 2, requiring the work
done by Sept. l. be stricken oue- The
section was stricken out. and then the
ordinance failed on its passage Alder
men Duncan, Owens. Reid, and Charlton
voted nay, while Aldermen Smith, Davis
and Wen voted aye
Changes in the plumbing ordnance were
made by an ordinance introduced by AL
derman Duncan and passed, an account of
which has appeared in the Morning News.

required by plumbers, who seek license

SOME POLITICAL SECRECY.
Names of New Committeeman Seem
to HIVE Been Carefully Guarded.

There Is much secrecy thrown around
the selections Of executive committeeman
to represent the two local factions on The
new executive committee Of the county to
be chosen in the coming primary on June
9Th.
Each side appears to be afraid that its
committee will get ont first and that is
looked on as somewhat OF terrible ca
lamity from a political standpoint. 1t is
difficult 10 get at this Occultness, so to
speak, but 1T appears 70 be part of po-
liucal policy, a mysterious thing which
only leaders know anything about.
The subcommittee from the Liberal Club
executive committee, appointed by DR..
VIM. Duncan, of which Mr. John Power
is chairman, has made its selections Of
twelve men TO represent that faction, but
Mr.. Powers positively refused to give out
the names yesterday. Mr.. j. S. Collins,
chairman of the subcommittee appointed
by Chairman duBiguOn, likewise refused
10 say anything about who the members
representing the Citizens Club faction
would be- It was understood yesterday
that they had been selected, but alter in
formation was to the effect that there was
stil one name to be added to the list, and
upon that point there was to be a little
discussion, growing out of some dispute
as 10 who that other member should be.
1t was learned, however, that the follow
ing VIII be eleven of the names of those
who viii represent the Citizens Club fac
ton: J. S. Collins, George w. Parish, w.
T. Leopold, c. A. Lamotte, George Pc
tronoYich, d. L. Christian, NJ. Drury, John
Juchter, A. N Manucy, Ambrose Ehrlich
and Adoph Letter. The other name has
not yet been settled on, There has been
some discussion of Messrs. Harry Willuk
and George w. Wylly and one or two
others in that connection, and a settlement
of the situation may be reached to-day
The matter will have TO be announced
pretty soon as tickets for the primary Will
have to be printed in time to get them
thoroughly distributed before Monday. 1t
is expected that there will be meetings of
the TWO executive committees tomorrow
afternoon fer the purpose of appointing
managers and making final arrangements

NO ALDERMAN CHOSEN.
Council Has Not Yet Filled MIR. HuII's
Place

There was no election for alderman yes
terday to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Mr.. Robert NJ. Huh. 1t
has not been determined when the cleo
ton will be held.
Mr.. c. Wallace Howard has been men
toned for the place, and 1t is probable his
name will be presented by Alderman T. J.
Davis. Mr.. Howard is a young man, thor
oughly capable in every way of filling the
office. Ee is senior member of the firm of
c. W. Howard & Co., which conducts an
extensive shipping business. He was sec
rotary of the Board of Trade four years,
where he distinguished himself for faith
ful attention to business, and has occu-
Iied other positions of trust and import
ance. 1t is said his election would prove
generally satisfactory.
II is rumored Alderman Hamilton con-
templates resigning on account of i'll
health, though he has made no statement
to this effect. Should be decide to do so,
Council would lose one OF its most relia-
bic members.

CAPT. MORGAN GOES OUT.
Efiin CHAM Hussars' Commander
Handed in His Refrigeration.

EHingham Hussars' Commander
Handed in His HesignatiOn.
Gen w. W. Gordon returned last night
from Springfield, in EflRsham county,
where he went yesterday as colonel of the
First Georgia Regiment of Cavalry to rem
der what assistance he could in unraveling
the troubles of tho bingham Hussars.
AS stated in the Morning News. the Hus-
sars have been on the verge of dLsorganiza-
ton for some months owing to the strong
feeling existing among a large part of the
company against the commander, Capt.
Morgan. When Gen. Gordon rrived at
Springfield, he was met by Capt. Morgan.
who put his resignation as comma, nder OF
the Hussars in the hands of his colt mel at
once. This simplifed the situation ANNE
diately and rendered it possible to esln
the work of reorganizing the company at
once. The members Of the company pr IS
ent were lined up, the dates of their enlis, =
ments secured. and a statement was made
by Gen. Gordon of the captains resigna-
ton and of the steps that would be taken
toward putting the company on a proper
footing for service under the state.
The resignation of Capt. Morgan will be
forwarded to Gov. Atkinson at once. First
Lieut.. Homer Dasher of Guyton will be
acting commander until an election is held,
which viii probably be on Saturday, June
1S In the meantime Lieuts. DasheT and
Neidlinger will recruit the company up to
as large a membership as possible. The
minimum under the state service is TWEEN
ty-nine men and two officers.
1t Is probable that within two weeks the
Hussars viii have fifty men on their roll.
It is believed that the company will now
take on new life, and that the dissensions
will be entirely thing of the past.

More Augusta Gravel Arrived for
Bull street.

Work will be resumed this morning on
the paving of Bun street. Several car
loads of gravel arrived yesterday from
Augusta and will be laid to-day. No
work has been done this week on the
street, owing to the non-arrival of gravel,
due to an accident at the mines, it is said.
There are three blocks of the street yet
to be paved. from Seventh TO Tenth street.
1t viii take about sixty car loads Of gravel
to finish the work, making a total of about
three hundred car loads used in the paw
ing of Bull street. From New Houston
TO Anderson streets the paving was done
with the so-called gravel from Liberty
county, which was practically a hard clay.
This has since been covered with granite
screenings.
Chairman Davis of the streets and lanes

the paving of the street at Tenth street. 1t
is his ambition to have the work complet-
ed to Twelfth street. He is anxious to

Having had long experience at the local

Mr.. Ravenel will make fair. Just and
impartial judge. Quite a compliment was
paid him shortly after the resignation of
