 han City Court.
 |. Municipal corporations; when mu- aicipality has authority under it's char ter to create the office of Treasurer, and require him to give official bond Where. the act establishing a charter st municipality provides that the Mayor and Alderman thereof "are authorized to create all such, and to appoint all such, officers as may be necessary to sarry into effect the powers conferred by this act and to regulate and control them in the discharge of their duties" the Mayor and Aldermen of such municipality have the right and power to elect or appoint Treasurer thereof, and to require him, before en- tering into office, to give bond condi- tioned for the faithful performance of his duties as such officer; and, there fore, an ordinance enacted by the May or and Council of such municipality, creating the office of Treasurer and requiring the execution of bond by such officer before entering upon his duties, are authorized and within the powers conferred by the charter of such municipality.
 2. Same; same: such bond not with out consideration.-In such a case, a bond given by the Treasurer. regularly and duly elected by such municipality, conditioned to faithfully perform the duties of his office. imports a consider ation and is obliga tory upon such Treasurer and the sureties on his off- cial bond.
 8. Same; same; action against Treasurer of municipality should be brought in the name of person ag- grieved. An action against the Treas urer of a municipality and the sure ties on his official bond, to recover dam- ages for the alleged breach of such bond, should be brought in the name of the person aggrieved. and not in the name of the municipality for the use of such person.

BLALocK TO SOLVE Problem

The following resolution by Mr. Bla-
lock of Fayette has aroused the iegis-
lature on the constitutional question
again:
whereas, There is in the state
treasury the sum of four hundred and
forty-four thousand two hundred and
eight (s444, 2O8) dollars arising from the
sale of public property; and,
Whereas, None of the principal
of the bonded debt of the state natures.
until Jan 1, 1915; and,
"Whereas, it is not desirable for
said sum to remain in the treasury
until the maturity of the principal of
said bonded debt, therefore be 1t
"RosoIved by the house, the senate
concurrlng, That the sum of three hun
dred and twenty-five thousand eight
hundred and eight (f325, $500 dollars of
said sum arising from the sale of public
property be, and the same is hereby,
appropriated to and for the payment of
the interest on the recognized valid
bonds of the state falling due in the
year 1902.
Be 1t further resolved, That the state
treasurer be, and he is hereby, author
lied and directed to transfer upon the
books of the treasury, within one day
after the approval of this resolution,
the said sum of 1926, $50 from the pub
lie properly fund to the interest fund,
and pay out same as such interest may
mature during the year 1902"
Mr.. Blalock claims that this will
solve the financial embarrassment of
the state
Mr.. Miller of Muscogee, who has in
troduced similar measure, says that
the one of Mr.. BIalock is the best, and
if that is passed he will withdraw his
two bills, but if 1t is not he will press
the passage of his two. Mr.. Hall of
Bibb has already announced his inten-
ton of fighting the resolution of Mr.,
BIalock, and he may even filiIbuster to
keep the resolution from coming up
before the house. But il the public
property fund is used to pay the inter
est on the public debt large amount
of money can be paid to the teachers,
to whom the state owes nearly 81,
900, 900.

KILLING UP THE BOYS.
By the Governor:
Secretary Executive Departmer

This has been fatal year for football
players in the United States. Seven
men have been killed on the gridiron,
which is way ahead of the average for
past seasons, and, according to a
northern paper, the y ear 1901 promises
to "be one os-the blood1est on record
in the American football field
''Besides the dead at least 40 men
have received injuries that will, more
or less, cripple them for life, aud the
ordinary injuries, such as broken limbs,
collarbones, legs, arms and noses, num-
Der up in the hundreds Some of the
boys have been injured in peculiarly
painful way. Hugh McDermott of
Binghampton, N Y, has just gone
blind from hurts received almost
year ago to his spine. Frank Harding
of Yonkers is suffering from internal
injuries, splintered collarbone, and
q badly bruised head from recent
game in New York. Although he may
live it will be many days before he can
leave the hospital and Harold Holmes,
the full back on the Montclalr Military
school team, has become a paralytic
from injuries TO his spine, received in
9 contest three weeks ago.
A football expert calls attention to
the fact that most of the serious in
luries are on the minor teams. The
men on the leading university elevens
undergo rigid training and careful
physical examinations. They are strong
and seasoned. The superintendent of
public schools In New Mexico recon
mends IN his annual report that foot
ball in the territorial institutions be
prohibited. He thinks it Is too rough
even for the Indians on the plains. He
presents figures to show that 10 boys
were killed and 400 seriously injured
last year. -Savannah Press.

The Senate yesterday afternoon sus-
tanned the Governors veto of the anti
vaccination law, by a vote of six to
nine. The House has passed the bill
over the vote by large vote, but the
action of the Senate settles it's fate and
vaccination must remain compulsory.
The committee on the fire claims

ground that it had no provisions for
paying claims and did not provide for
a proper court of claims. Bill 30 was
recommended as a substitute.

4 Trolley Fight in Chicago.

Otherwise progressive Chicago Is far be-
hind the times in the matter of street trans
portation. The railways there are equipped
with the cable, and the service Is made
quate in consequence. Long trains are run,
against which objections have been urged
and the companies are now advancing the
proposition that they will abandon the
cable if allowed to use overhead electricity
The city objects to being enmeshed in a
network of overhead wires and insists that
if any change is made it be in favor of the
underground electric system. The street
car men demur, saying that the under
ground system is impracticable. The city
points to the experience of Washington.
where the underground trolley has demon
strated it's practicability and economy for
several years OF almost uninterrupted serv-
ice. The company officials ignore the OBJ
ject lesson and hold fast to their dogma
that exhaustive tests have demonstrated
that the underground trolley is impractical
BILE Just what Chicago is going to do
about 1t remains to be seen. That ag
gressive municipality has not usually al
lowed the selfishness of a corporation to
stand in the way of public betterment.
Some of the most promising experiments IN
municipal housekeeping are in progress
there now, as result Of this spirit. Chicago
went at the Embarrassing problem In such
fashion that the railroads quickly surren-
dered from previously defiant attitude
and accepted terms which will ultimately
give the western metropolis perfect sys-
tenn of underground and elevated tracks
practically without cost to the city. 1t Is
hardly likely now that in the face of the
Washington and New York demonstration
of the effectiveness of the underground
trolley Chicago's citizens will permit few
street railway officials to bluff them out
and secure the adoption Of the antiquated
overhead system. Washington will watch
the renewed struggle with interest.
