CALLED MEETING OF
 COUNCIL TONIGHT
SouthSide Market House May
 Be Reopened.
THE COMMITTEE FAVORS 1T
And Will Make Such a Recommenda- tion at the Meeting Tonight-Ram- bow Backing Auditor Camp
 to Succeed Ward

Several matters of interest are coming Kp at the called meeting of the board of aldermen tonight. It is not certain that the question of the new hose contracts will be brought up, as it is understood the commit tee has not as yet held meeting.
 The market committee has decided to recommend that the Southstde market, at Nineteenth street and Avenue D, shall be opened again about October l. In 1893, when the hard times came, the butchers in that market requested that they be per mitted to sell meats in South Twentieth street, saying that they woud pay into the city as much or more than they were doing in the market. AS the latter was being run at a loss with only four butchers in 1t, the board thought it best to close the mar ket and stop the expense of operating it. Now, however q number of the butchers have petitioned that the market be opened again, and although there is some objec- tion, the committee is in favor of opening il.
 Successor to Alderman Ward
 The campaign has already begun among the candidates who want to succeed George Ward of the Second although that alder man has not yet resigned his seat in the board. Several applicants are out solicit ing votes. Alderman Rainbow, the other representative of the Second ward, has come out in favor of Gus Camp and says he is sure to be elected.
 Lew Lazarus who was he second choice of che citizens in the Second ward in the last election and who ran neck and neck with Alderman Tom Parker in tae previous election and withdrew in his favor in order to prevent 8 contest, is also being urged to become candidate He expresses him self freely on the subject and says that if he is entitled 10 the place and can get it without a wraaeio ne Will become a can diiate, but not otherwise.
 The ordinances submitted by H5e market ccnnittea edHe55ay night are now in the hands of the judiciary committee, and wI1 very probably be acted on and passed to- night. City Attorney Lowe was eassged nearly all of yesterday examining tnam and setting taem in lesal sAape.
 Chairman Ram5ow of the market com mittee says that 1t will require about three months to build the pig asaatoh at North B.ymiHsham, and that public slaaghterins Will not begin until its completion, about December l. Of course. no meat can be Inspected untn after that institution Is put in opera ten.
 Mir. Rainbow says now that it is known that the position of inspector is a very scientific one, and the applicants must pass very rigid examination, there has been great falling off in the number of candidates. They will probably be given their examination about two months be- fore Che abbatoir opens.
 Mr Rainbow is thoroughly enthusiastic over the inspection laws. He says after he had seen the apparently healthy cattle at Chicago cut open and examined and found so diseased that even the uinitiated eye could tell the meat was defective, he determined that in future he would have a feeling of assurance ewhen he ate his meat in Birmingham that it was pure and wholesome.
 He says that G6 per cent. of all the cat tie condemned in Chicago are afflicted with tuberculosis, that great disease that is so poisonous in beef and in milk
