COMMISSIONERS PROCEEDINGS
Mondays Meeting Of the BOard-A
COrpulemt Contract in bangor


Mr.. Hamilton, who is now op-
Grating the Eureka ferry, ap-
peared and explained his bill
which was refused at the last
meeting. His explanation proved
satisfactory and his bill Of $14 O8
for November and December was
paid.
Chairman Carney made a ver-
bal report Of the DunnellOn
bridge, which was, ga good, sub
stantial structure, approved by
Mcleod, when on motion of AL
len $500 were ordered paid Nc
Iver x McRay on the order of
the Dunnellon council in payment
Of the amount of money the
county commissioners agreed to
pay to the town of Dunnellon to
assist it in erecting this bridge
across the Withlacoochee river at
that place.
Mr.. Moore appeared regarding
the sunken fiat at Stark'S ferry,
which led to quite discussion as
to whether it was not better to
bridge the river at that point, as
1t seemed almost impossible TO
keep a fiat atlOat.
Justice Ora wfOrd was called on
to explain his bill for inquest ser
vices on the bodies Of Smith and
| Hamilton, who killed each other
at Shady Grove several weeks
ago. 1t was very evident the eX-
PLANTATION was satisfactory as Mr.
! Carney moved that both bills be
paid. Mr.. Allen thought no in
quest was needed, and hence an
unnecessary cost, but Justice
! Crawford remarked that if he
had known as much before he
was summoned IS he did after
the Jury made it's report, he would
have thought so too, yet it might
be that the second inquest was
not needed, though two new wit
neSScS were summoned. The eX-
pensc Of the inquestS amounted
to 81! 30.
Tie following bills were then
ordered paid: w ID Mathews,

Vinita il fast becoming the Gretna
Green Of lovc-Sick >wains and Eouuy

Missouri, just west of Quincy, H.,
Ben Cant and Maude Vanlandingham
started TO Sunday school, just as they
had done scores Of other times with
out in any way arousing the suspic-
ions Of Maude's doting parents as to
the intentions of ''the children" But
Ben was fixed" with railroad tickets
FOR two, and they, instead Of going to
sabbath school went TO the depot at
the little town on the Katy with the
romantic name and took the train for
Yinita. The couple arrived on the /
O'Clock train Monday. After get
ting breakfast at the Western they
lost no time in hying themselves TO
the clerks Office and securing IL

and performed the ceremony without
deiay. and the youthful and unsO-
phislicated bride and groom walked
away as happy and cOntented as two
turtle doves Oh spring morning.

WEDNESDAY.

Judge Springer, sitting in cham
bers yesterday afternoon heard the
application for writ of habeas cor
pus in the case of Lula Pullien.
convicted in the commissioners
court OF petit larceny and sentenc-
ed to pay a fine OF s25, and 90 days
in jail at Fort Smith. Judge Deni-
son represented the petitioner
and Assistant District Attorney Lu-
man F. Parker, Jr., appeared for
the L. S. marshal. The position
of counsel for the prisoner was
that the commissioner did not
have jurisdiction to try cases of
petit larceny, but that grand jury
indictment should have been re-
turned, and trial had on said in
dictment. The contention was
that petit larceny was an infamous
crime, conviction of which dis
qualified the person from testify
ing in the courts and exercising
the rights of citizenship. The
court held that the line OF distinc-
ton between a crime which is in
famous and one which is not is
drawn by the punishmentimposed.
In case of a sentence of imprison-
ment in the penitentiary it would
make an Infamous crime. So I'M
prisonment in the penitentiary was
made the dividing line between
the two grades of crimes. \ sim
pie Jail sentence and fine would
not make the crime an infamous
one and the petition for the writ
was denied, and sustained Judge
Don-Carlos' ruling on the subject
yesterday.

A session OF the city council was
held yesterday and it was decided
to take 20 further action on the mat
ter OF establishing public schools until
such time as the people at a popular
election so order. The law provides
that an election shall be ordered by
the mayor when 20 taxpayers so re-
quest in writing. He has i've days in
which to act and seven days notice Of
the election must be given 1t is es-
timated that there will be no votes
cast against the school proposition
and il is not improbable the petition
will be prepared, signed and presented
today.
An order was passed authorizing
the taking up Of all registered Down
ingville warrants, aud warrants Of the
town Of Ninita issued instead. This
vas felt TO be squitable. in view Of the
