BEER CHARGED AS POTATOES.
So Mr.. Williams Refused to Pay Bill
and Is Sued.

An interesting case in Magistrate Wick
hams court yesterday was suit for iJ5
brought by Mrs. NJ. A. Prenty, against
similar goods, and the punishment pro-
ceedings brought to secure the payment
of the amount
The account. according to the testimony
of the plaintiff. had been running since
December, 1898, until March 1899. The de-
PENDANT, through his attorney stated his
willingness to pay for the groceries, but
denied that all of the goods charged I'M
der this head were groceries. According
to the testimony of the plaintiff and Mr.
Beytagh, her former clerk, the Williams
family ran an account with Mrs. Prenty
for groceries and other comestioles, but
it had been Mr. Williams Instructions
that on no account was either beer or
whisky to be charged on this account
This instruction, according to the wit
nesses, Mrs. Williams got around by hav-
ing the liquors sent and charged under
the head of groceries; beer and whisky be-
ing sometimes charged as potatoes meal
cabbages, or under any name other than
it's real one.
After the bill had been standing some
time and had reached considerable sum
the defendant to the suit called on the
plaintiff to pay it. He was preceded by
his daughter. however, with a message
from her mother to Mrs. Prenty, asking
that the full bill be not presented to her
husband. but that the amount be made
not over s25 and that she would pay the
remainder. This Mrs. Prenty did not do,
but showed a statement for the total
amount, and this on the grounds before
mentioned, Mr.. Williams refused to pay.
Garnishment proceedings We're then re-
sorted to by the PLAINTIFF, but the defen-
dant. through his attorney claims that
being laborer his salary is not subject
to this process of collecting. This ques-
ton also was argued at length. The mag
istrate reserved his decision until to-mor-
row at noon

SHOWED Up IN FINE SHAPE.
Trial of New Fire Engine Demon
strated Its Excellence.

The new fire engine recently purchased
by the city from LaFrance Fire En-
CINE Company was twice tested yesterday,
once in the morning and again at l30
o'clock in the afternoon. The second test
took place az Bay and Bull streets, in
front of the City Exchange, and was
witnessed by crowd of three or four
hundred persons.
The test was most satisfactory from
every view point. The company manu-
featuring the engine, had sent on MIR.
Charles Armour 20 conduct the trial, and
It was under his directions that the exhi-
bition of the fire-hghter's points was made
The force of the pumps sufiiced to throw
a one and three-quarter-inch stream If
teen or twenty feet above the vane Of
the Exchange, end two one and one-quar-
ter-nch streams, the size usually used
for lighting fire, to the top of the vane.
Supt. Mcguire of the fire department,
who witnessed both experiments with the
new engine, expressed himself as perfect
ly satisfied with its performance. In ;hs
patent relief valve, with which it is
equipped, ii possesses an advantage over
ali the engines in use by the city, even
the one last before purchased, as the
stream may be turned off at the nozzle
and the engine kept at full speed. BY
means of the valve the water is forced
around and around the reservoirs. instead
of through the hose. This will permit
easy and quick handling of the apparatus
when it is demanded
The engine is located temporarily at
No. Engine House, while the engine that
does regular duty there, almost the twin
of the new one, is being repaired. It
is probable that after the repairs are COM
pleted the new engine will still be retain
ed at No. 2, while the one it thus re-
places will be removed to No l.

Mr.. J. Randolph Anderson returned yes

The purchase Of the property obtained

officers of the Plant System and Southern

and it is probable that the organization
meeting will be held some time next week,
or as soon as Mr.. Mackan returns 10 Sa-

Within ninety days, Mr. Anderson
thinks, ground for the depot will be bro

pare final plans and estimates and get
things in readiness for beginning con-

Within six months after construction
is begun the depot will be completed and

MATTERS BEFORE COUNCIL.
Ordinance TO Compel Removal OF
Weeds Will he Introduced

Weeds Will Re Introduced
At a meeting of Council this afternoon
an ordinance will be introduced making
it incumbent upon property-owners to re-
move weeds from vacant lots, and pro-
viding that if the owners of the lots fail
or refuse to have the weeds removed, they
shall be removed by the city and the lot
owners charged with the expense.
The bill will be introduced at the re-
quest of the sanitary board, the practice
of permitting weeds to grow throughout
the city being considered by it detrimental
to the health of the people. At this sea-
son of the year the weeds begin to die
and then to decay, and the decaying vege-
tation breeds disease. Then, too, they
cover a quantity of fifth, that would be
discovered and removed if the ground wera
kept clean.
1t is these considerations that have in
duced Health officer Drummer and the
sanitary board to recommend the adop-
tion OF the ordinance that is to be intro
duced this afternoon. The public mind
does not s en- TO be altogether made Up
on the subject and it may he that some
opposition to the passage of the ordinance
will develop
The ordinance already introduced, pro.
viding for tie repeal of the ordinance or
resolution of Council under which Depu-
ty City Marshal Kelly holds his office,
will also be considered at the meeting this
afternoon. 1t is generally believed that
the Introduction of this ordinance con-
templates the removal of Deputy Kelly

of years. His friends are watching the de-
velopments in this situation with close In

SCARCITY OF EGGS.
The Effect Has Been to Run the
Price Way Up.


Since the scarcity in the egg market
prices have jumped sharply. and are now
around the top notch. The market seem
ed firm yesterday at IS to 20 cents for
irst-class candled stock, and the stock to
pick from was limited. 1t is estimated
there were probably not over hundred
cases of eggs in all hands during the day
There is ordinarily a large demand for
eggs in the local market and when a
scarcity comes il is attended with Jump
in the price. Unless supplies come from
Tennessee or some other market, the
chances are present prices will be main
tanned.
The receipts yesterday were small, and
what came were not in satisfactory con-
dition. due 10 the warm weather. know
ing the risk of loss on account of che
weather, shippers will be slow to sonslgn
stock
Conditions never favor a continuance
