war, in which many interesting events
are noted. The AndersonvilIe D ison, or
as it was called by the Yankee soldiers,
"The Georgia Bull Pen. embraced some
seventeen acres, in which at one time
during the war over $4,000 prisoners
were confined.
NTheir sufferings were almost beyond
description, and were largely added to
by the cruelty of Col. Wirz, the Confed
crate official in command, who was
afterwards tried by the Federal authori
ties and hanged An almost utter lack
of sanitary arrangements. poor food, and
very little of that, made the prison a
veritable hell-hoie. The death rate was
about forty per cent.

Five of Them Arrested and Property
stolen at SpeedweIl Recovered
The parties who entered the house of
the Lakeside Boat Club and the pavilion
of Manager Melick at Speedwell Lake,
last week, have proved to be five boys.
They are George Quimby, Kenneth Rig
by and Mahlon Fredericks, aged Is;
James Maloney, aged 13, and John
Quimby, who is but 10 years old. The
stolen property was found at the home
of Fredericks and the Quimby boys, who
live near the lake, and consisted of skates
and some small articles from the boat
house, and cigars and candy from the
pavilion. The arrests were made by
Chief Holloway and Sergeant Morrison.
Melick's pavilion has been entered on
two or three occasions before, but it is
not known positively that the boys were
the offenders. Each of the boys was re-
leased on bail being given for $3.50.

MORRISTOWN LIBRARY.
Report shows That Residents are Not
Great Readers


Great Readers.
The report of the Morristown Library
for the year 1898 would indicate that the
residents of this place are not very great
readers. During the past year the num-
Der of books taken out wa} 12,176. This
means that the weekly den sid for books
did not average more than S34.
In the library there are 21 900 volumes
OF these, 1900 are devoted to history,
I 900 to biography, 600 to references,
2, 500 to fiction, and 1900 to travel. The
other 1890 comprise the subjects of
agriculture, art, drama, general litera-
ture, encyclopedias, languages, law, poll
tics, theology and juvenile
A number of new and interesting books
have been added to the library during
the past few weeks. The books of refer
ence have been removed to separate
room, where there is good light and ample
desk space. Many persons appreciate
this arrangement and are taking advan-
tage of it.
The officers elected by the stockholders
of the Library and Lyceum to serve dur
ing the present year are John White

dent; DIR. F. w. Owen, secretary; J. e.

Excise Board Did Not Hold Special Meeting
to Pass Ordinances.
! The meeting Of the Excise Board an
nounced for Wednesday evening did not
take place. The session was to have been
a special one for the purpose of passing
new ordinances to govern the board 1t
was abandoned at the suggestion of Town
Counsel Muir, who believed it not i'm
probable that any ordinances made at
this time would have to he reconsidered
when the courts shall have decided as to
the status of Morristown.
A writ of error was sent to the Secre-
tary of State by the Town Council on
Saturday last, and as testimony has al
ready been taken in the case, decision
will probably be rendered soon
The Excise Board has passed but four
ordinances, the first being relative to ap
plication for license. The second was
passed in conformity with the law re-
quiring that the amount to be paid for
license when the population reaches
10, 600 shall be $3.50. The third ordinance
concerns the transfer of licenses and the
fourth is supplemental to the third.
What the board needs is new code
of ordinances at least, this is the opin-
ion of several lawyers who have ex-
pressed an opionion in the matter.
