the line to Central of Georgia junction,
may be carried across eaid Gwinnett
street by means of bridges; and will also
grant to your petitioners the right to con-
struct across Gwinnett street the bridges
necessary for such tracks.
I'd That the city viii grant on reason
able terms the three lots of land known
as lots Nos 65. Sc and 81, Springfield plan
tation. located on the south side of Gwin-
nett street, west of the present city Gre
matory.
(e) That the city will close up Wilson
street, between Stewart and Roberts
streets, and will grant the right TO lay
and maintain tracks upon and across It;
ana VIII also grant the right to relocate
West Boundary street from the northern
line OF Roberts street to the northern line
of the city lot mentioned In sub-paragraph
"a" above, and that the city will change
the location of that portion of West Boun-
dairy street so as to make it run west
along the northern line of the said city
lot aforesaid and then south along the
western line of said city lot to Gwinnett
street, over which last mentioned street
when so relocated the railway track lead
ing to said union station, together with
the connecting track to the line leading
means of bridges; and also grant to your
petitioners the right to construct and
maintain such bridge or bridges over said
street thus relocated.
20 That the roads may be permitted 10
extend their property line and buildings
for distance of eight feet over the space
now used as sidewalk, but which has
thus far never been recognized and treat
ed as such by the city, along the north
side OF Roberts street from West Broad
street to the bend in Roberts street nearly
opposite the termination of Huntingdon
street; and the roads show that all the
property along the north side of Roberts
streets Is now owned by them

rangement of the grade of Roberts street
alongside of said union station and of the
train shed forming a part thereof as is
considered necessary by your petitioners
engineers and Is shown on the map here
with submitted marked exhibit "a"
Your petitioners show that Roberts street
has never been graded by the city and that
because of the confguration of the ground
and the decided variation in levels in that
part of the city, as well as the hight there
of above the neighboring country to the
westward, 1t Is necessary to depress the
track and platform level of the proposed
union station below the present ground
level of Roberts street, which necessitates
the grading of the portion Of Roberts
street as herein prayed for.
With the petition was submitted map
showing the property asked for and also
a small map of the city, showing gener-
ally the proposed site of, tho station. to-
gether with the lines of railway connect
ing it with Southover Junction on the
south and with the Central of Georgia
junction on the west.

"THE SHAMROCK AND THE ROSE"
Presented by Fleming Dramatic As
ISOLATION at Sacred Heart Hall.

Presented by Fleming Dramatic As
ISOLATION at Sacred Heart Hall.
The Fleming Dramatic Association in the
Shamrock and the Rose gave most en-
joyable entertainment at the Hall Of the
Sacred Heart Church last night. The play
is a story of Irish life with plenty of love,
patriotism, and humor; the parts were
well played, the work showing careful
preparation, and possibilities OF each scene
were made the most OF.
There are four acts TO the play and
though the hall was so crowded that many
had to stand, the interest in the perform
ance held the crowd until the curtain went
down on the final act after the happy I'M
ion of the lovers.
Between the acts music was furnished by
Raskin's Orchestra, which also played for
the dance that followed the performance.
The following were the characters of
the play: Barney O'Brady. Mr.. William
j. Riley; Squire Fitzgerald, Mr.. Fred
Mair; John Desmond, e. ii. Shea; Shaun
Carey, Mr.. ]. N. Smith; Capt. Beck, Mr..
w. A. Robinson; Lieut.. Douglas, Mr. T.
+. Davis; Thornton. Mr.. Warren Thorpe;
Rose Fitzgerald, Miss Agnes Bell; Ileen
ORouke. Miss Maggie Rahilly; Nano Des-
mond, Miss Teresa Cook. The show was
under the direction of Mr.. William Flem-
ing.
After the performance refreshments were
served and the remainder of the evening
was spent In dancing.

would necessarily entail damage to the
walks. DR.. White states In his petition
that he made all these facts known 10 the
marshal, but that the latter had the work
done and required him to pay the cost. A
portion of the walk so paved has since
been purchased by the city.
A petition was received from a number
of green grocers, requesting that Council
amend the Sunday ordinance, so as to
permit the delivery of meats sold the pre-
vioEs day between the hours of and a .
m, and calling attention to violations of
the present law by dealers in the same line
of business.
The petition of property owners on Bay
street, east, asking that railroad tracks
be allowed on Bay street, with the condi-
ton that the tracks be extended to East
Broad street, was referred to the Commit
tee of the Whole.
The offer of B. D. Rosenbrook of lands
for the opening of Anderson street at East
Broad street for the sum of s., 25G, was
accepted as was also the offer of A. Ehrl-
ich guardian of Mildred Dillon, of certain
lands needed for the opening of First
street, at the rate of Is cents per square
foot. ----
The petitions of Eichberg & Witcover
and Henry Urban for the refunding of
amounts paid by them as special tax 10
the city, were reported upon favorably, 1t
being found that under the state law the
payment of professional taxes 10 the state
exempts from the payment of any other
special taxes.
The city tax ordinance for 1900 was put
on its first reading, this being a mere
matter of form in order to enable Council
to take up changes in the act by sections,
as may be deemed advisable.
Acting Mayor Tiedeman presided at the
meeting, the other members present being
Aldermen Williams, Mills, Thomas, Dixon,
Schwarz, farrell and Bacon.

DUFFY STREET REVEALS.
Large Congregations at Yesterdays
Services.

The services at the Duffy Street Baptist
Church continue with undated interest.
The attendance at last nights meeting
was good. Rev. Mr.. Walker is a strong
preacher. Congregational singing is
special feature of the evening services.
Mr.. Walkers text last night was Irom
I Corinthians, 3:16: know We not that We
are the temple of God and that the spirit
of God dwelIeth in your" in connection
with Philippians, 2:12-13 Work out your
own salvation with fear and trembling.
For 1t is God that worketh in you, both
TO will and to do of His good pleasure"
Mr.. Walker said that the spirit dwells
in all of Gods children. In some, how
ever, He dwels there and His light is as
a CANDLE in others He dwells with full
ness of power. 1t is the privilege of Gods
people to be full of spirit. Before
they can be filled, however, they must be
emptied-made clean. God will not dwell
in a heart that is corrupt and full of I'M
cleanness. Conservation is an act that
takes place only once in a life. 1t is
setting apart ourselves for Gods service.
Santifcation is a process and comes after
conservation. God works In us. He gives
us salvation; then He tells us to work out
our salvation. We can only work out
what God works in. A prisoner in our
county jail might be told 10 work himself
out of prison, but that would be mockery
to him. If one comes and batters down
the bars and tells him to walk out free
man, then he is able 20 walk out. Con-
secration batters the bars of sin down
around us, gives us the power of saliva
ton and tells us to work 1t out.
Services to-day will be at 1880 in the
morning and at o'clock in the evening.
