The Board of tiayor and Aldermen
held another "railroad meeting' at the
City Hall Thursday night, and did a
good nights work. Mayor Cameron and
Aldermen Brownlow, White, Voss, Payne
and Nicholson answered to roll call,
which gave the constitutional quorum.
The railroad question was brought up
by the report OF the committee appoint
ed at the last meeting to confer with the
railroad officials in regard to furnishing
better protection at the crossings of
Garden and Main streets. Chairman
Payne stated that they had met with
Superintendent Geddes of the L & NJ,
and talked matters over, but that no
agreement had been reached. Mai
Geddes had asked that the Board defer
the passage of the ordinance requiring
the placing of gates at the crossings,
and suggested that hagman placed at
each crossing would give ample protec
ton, and asked that the Board give this
method trial. '-~
j. @. Voorhies, Esq, was given per
mission to address the Board, and pre-
sented petition signed by nearly all of
the business men of Columbia, asking
that the Board demand the erection of
gates at these crossings. Mr.. VOORHEES,
made an earnest talk in support of the
petition, speaking of the danger to pub
lie life by reason of the inefficient pro
lection, and urged the passage of the
ordinance in the interest of the people
of Columbia, and for the safety of the
travelling public. He said that in view
of the fact that there was an almost
unanimous desire among the citizens
for gates, he could not see why the
Board would hesitate to require them,
regardless of what it might cost the
railroad company.
Alderman White also addressed the
Board in favor of the gates, and moved
the passage of the ordinance. He said
he was for the gates, and nothing. BIT
the gates would satisfy him. Nearly
every man in his ward, he said, was in
favor of the ordinance. and he felt it his
duty to vote as they wished. He hadn't
found anyone opposed to it unless it
was an employe of the railroad or fel
low who had pass in his pocket What
he wanted. and what the public wanted,
was the very best protection the rail
road could give He didL't care how
much it cost them, and the Board
should not stop to consider that; they
were plenty able to pay for it, and he
placed public safety and the life of one
individual, above money. Referring to

1T WAS DARK.
The Wind Blew, the Rain Fell, and
the Lights Went Out.

Saturday night in Columbia was
about as dirty" night as one could
imagine. The wind blew a wee gale
during the early part of the night, and
about 1890 O'Clock the rain began TO fall
in torrents. To make matters worse.
the electric lights went out about IL
1'clock. caused by a wire being blown
down and breaking the circuit, and for
several hours the cit- was thrown into
inky darkness. Lats pedestrians de-
clare il was ''the darkest night they
ever saw" ana those who wended
their way homeward through the black
ness had to feel their way along,
stumbling over sidewalks and into
diuches and running against telephone
poles and fences.

CAPTURED THIEF AND MONEY.
A Successful Bank Burglary at MAN.
chester, Tenn, Followed
by Capture.

Tullahoma, Tenn, Dec. 22.-The
vaults of the Coffee County bank, at
Manchester, were blown open by five
robbers, and all the currency in the
bank, amounting to $1,000, stolen. The
robbery was discovered shortly after
it's commission, by the town watch
man, who notified the authorities at
Tullahoma, towards which place the
robbers fed on handcar. A deputy
sheriff and policeman from Tullahoma
met the robbers a mile from town,
and after a short fight captured the
thief with the money. His four COM
panions escaped.
The captured robber refuses to dis
close his name or the identity of the
other four men. He claims to come
from Ohio, and it is believed that this
is the gang which has been operating
recently in that state. Bloodhounds
have been put on the trial of the es.
capped robbers.

ST. Petersburg. Dee. 23.--The infiu-

A meeting of physicians was sum-

the rest being overlooked, or them
selves victims of the malady. The

Relatives of the Aged Prisoner
Working For His Pardon.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 23.-There is
another movement on to secure the par
don of Col H. Clay King, serving life
sentence for the killing of David Pos
ton, in Memphis. King has served
about eight years. He is now over
seventy, and is doing light work at the
main prison. Col. Kings wife and his
son in law, X. W. Brooks, of st. Louis,
have held several conferences with Gov
McMillin, and when Brooks left for
home to night it was said he had reason
to believe the aged prisoner would be
pardoned.

the conference with Maj Geddes, he
said that he told the Major that his
people we're demanding gates, and that
they must have them. During the con-
ference, the subject of new depot was
brought up, but Maj. .Ge ides did not seem
inclined to talk about that. The trouble
with the railroad seemed to be that they
could not decide upon the locality"
Some further discussion ensued about
which would be better-gates or flag
men-but vote being called on the
ordinance, it passed on it's first reading
unanimously.
The ordinance requires that the gates
shall be erected within hrty days
after the passage of the act, and i'm
poses fine of not less than 50 nor more
than $50 for each day thereafter that
the railroad fails to comply with the
law. The ordinance could not be
brought up on its second reading at this
meeting, as the law requires two
thirds majority to suspend the rules.
Alderman Payne then introduced a
esoution requesting the railroad to
place hagman at both the South Main
and South Garden street crossings until
the gates are erected; the resolution
was adopted.
Explosive Liquids
The ordinance regulating the handling
of gasoline, benzine and other explosive
liquids, when carried in quantities of
more than five gallons, was passed on
its third and last reading.
The Light Question.
The light question was then brought
up. Alderman Payne stated that he
had heard a great deal of complaint
about the poor service of the Light

CATION be had to see if the contract with
the city was being complied with.
Mr.. w. B. Dobbins, manager OF the

the Board, stating that the entire light

that an idea seemed TO prevail that the
