td. Matthews, JaiOr, ...................... 10 80
Mr.. Wall, of Ordinance Committee,
offered resolution prohibiting the
use of cess pools within the corporate
limits. The ordinance was laid on the
table for the usual time.
The council ordered that the Street
Committee purchase street sprinkler
at a cost not to exceed $3.50, and to
carry not less than six hundred gal
Ions. Mr.. Bugg, Of the Street Com
mittee, strenuously opposed the pur-
chase Of sprinkler with capacity of
more than $50 gallons, as he considered
the smaller size ample and much
more inexpensive.
Mr.. Gillian reported that the armory
walls are crumbling, both in front and
rear, and on his own motion the coun-
ell instructed the chairman of the
Opera House Committee TO employ an
engineer to devise plan for remedying
it.
Mr. Cralle, chairman Of the Poor
Committee, reported dire restitution
among some Of the towns poor. Mr..
Cralle narrated some of the most dis
tressing circumstances in which a
number Of the colored poor are living,
and the council after hearing them
readily agreed that the Poor Commit
tee should have more latitude in the
matter giving aid to the towns desti-
tute.
Mr.. Herbert Rice submitted an esti-
mate of $40 for copying the towns
charter and ordinances and putting
them in suitable form for the printer
The matter was referred to the Ordi-
nance Committee.
On motion of Mr.. Wall the mayor
was authorized TO have hauled sufli-
cent quantity Of rock to the lot in the
rear Of the Jail to be broken up by law
breakers who will not pay fines inn
posed.
Captain Martin, of the Farmville
Guard, came before the council and
asked for the use Of the armory build
ing for the recently organized company.
The members of the council were
prompt and enthusiastic in granting
the use of the armory to the Guard.
The saloon keepers Of the town,
Messrs. Joseph Mannoni, Hugh O'Gara
and G. w. Blanton, presented alengthy
petition representing that great hard
ships will accrue to them by the en-
forcement Of the ordinances recently
passed restricting the privileges of the
sale of whiskey. 1t will be recalled
that at the April meeting of the coun-
ell an ordinance was passed requiring
saloon keepers to keep open fronts to
their places Of business, limiting the
sale and drinking Of intoxicants to
within 80 feet of the front, closing OF
side and rear door entrances and pro-
/ hibiting the carrying on of any and all
games within the same building. The
petition to the council asked that all
these restrictions he recinded, except
as to games.
The council unanimously agreed to
acquiesce in the request of the petition
ers only in so far as the present law
relates to limited space and the use OF
side and rear door entrances. The two
clauses Of the ordinance were stricken
out and all others were left for the
strict enforcement of the mayor.

that the attorneys had not prepared
the cases under their personal super
vision.
Mr.. Barney, of Wisconsin, in charge
or n bill, said the commissioned of
pensions estimated the bill during the
coming year would largely decrease,
but the appropriation should not be re-
duced, owing TO the tendency OF $4,000
Spanish war claims, which five or six
millions OF dollars would cover.
Mr.. Talbert, of South Carolina. sug-
gested that the pension laws were now
liberal enough to dispense with the
Friday night sessions at which special
Dllls were passed to pension bounty
jumpers" and coffee coolers"
MI Curtis, of Kansas, raced some
or the rulings of the commissioner of
pensions to the startling, false and fc-
titious charge made in 1893 thu thou
sands of fraudulent pensions were on
the rolls"
If the present commissioner is not
conducting the office properly, is not
the remedy in the hands of the admin
istration?" asked Mr.. Bartlett, Of
Georgia.
Il do not believe the president en-
dorses the acts of the commissioner
replied Mr.. Curtis. Il do not believe
he knows what is going on"
rs it not his duty to know?'
He has not the time to examine into
minor Details"
Mr.. Gaines, of Tennessee, argued at
some length in favor of his scheme to
break up trusts by denying them the
use of the mails. This method, he said,
had e~ffectually suppressed lotteries in
the United States.
Mr.. Talbert, of South Carolina, gave
notice that hereafter there would be
no Friday night pension legislation
without a quorum.
Mr.. Mahon, of Pennsylvania, paid his
respects to the pension sharp lawyers"
in this city who robbed the old SOL
diers.
The bill was then passed and the
house adjourned.

Charges Against One Made to the Pres
ident in 1897 Ignored.

Washington, January 19.-The inves-
tigation as to the alleged polygamous
status of certain federal appointees in
Utah was resumed today by the house
committee on posloffices and postroads.
Postmaster General Smith who had
been summoned, detailed the circum-
stances so far as they had come to his
knowledge, although the two appoint
ments under consideration were made
prior to his administration. He found,
however, hat attention had not been
directed to any charges prior to the
appointment, . although subsequently
papers which had been submitted were
brought to the attention of the higher
officials.
One of these was a letter from N.
E. Clemenson, pastor of the Presbyte-
rian church, of Logan, Utah, addressed
Personally to the President, and dat
ed Logan, November %, 1897. In this
Rev. ClemenSon states that Mr.. Smith,
the postmaster at Logan, is a high &C.
clesiastic of the Mormon church, living
in a pelygamous status" There was
also a petition received.
Mr.. Smith presented a letter from
Private Secretary Porter, dated yes
terday, saying that at the White house
there is no record of any letters, pc
titionS or protests regarding the ap-
pointment of Postmaster John c.. Ora
ham, at Provo City. Utah, n that as
to the other appointment, Orson n.
Smith, at Logan, Utah, a letter and
some petitions had been received and
forwarded to the department.
Mr.. Bristow, assistant postmaster
general, stated that he made up a brief
relative to the presidential appoint
ments to postmasterships and when
these Uta cases were briefed he had
no knowledge of any polygamouS
charges against the parties. The
Clemenson letter had not at that time
come to his attention, nor did it get
before the postmaster general as the
clerks who handled it did not so brief
it as to call special attention to it.

San Francisco, January 19.-The

lulu comes news Of a fresh outburst of
