A JOB
Will Be Hunted For. Unfortunate
Joe Greeley.

John Gleeley has lost both his limbs,
and is supported largely by sister
who works hard that he may have
the same comforts as other people
Greeley was arrested for begging, and
was at first inclined to plead not guilty
when arraigned in Police court Thurs
day morning, but after the Mayor had
read him lecture Joe became less de-
fiant and was more willing to listen
to reason.
The Mayor told him that he could be
arraigned on charge of petit larceny,
as proof had been produced that he
had stolen the dresses of his sister and
sold Them for drink, and Greeley ad-
mitted that this was true. An effort
will be made to get some kind of
work that Greeley can do, as he has
promised the Mayor that he will do
better. A suspended sentence of 80
days was imposed to make sure that
Greeley keeps his promise.

CAPT. HOWELL INELIGIBLE.

Aldermen and CounciImen Not Eligt-
BILE for Any other City Office Dur
ing Term for which Elected.
Atlanta, Aug. 7.--Under section T39 of
the state code it is claimed by some
lawyers in Atlanta that neither Capt.
Evan P. Howell nor Alderman James
G.. Woodward is eligible to the mayor
atty of Atlanta. This section of the
code prescribes that no Councilman
nor Alderman OF any city in the state,
with population of more than 1000,
shall be eligible to any other city Of
fee during the term for which he was
elected. Capt. Howell and Mr.. Wood
ward, were elected for two years at
the last election, and it is claimed their
resignation, even, will not make them
eligible.
Other lawyers take a different view
of the case, and there is much interest
In the matter. Capt. Howell has re-
signed while Alderman Woodward still
remains a member of that body. The
settlement of the mOoted question will
be awaited anxiously.
City Attorney James L. Mayson gave
an Spinion this afternoon to the effect
that both Capt. Howell and Alderman
Woodward are eligible to the mayoral-
ty. He says he has investigated the
law, and that it does not apply in their
cases
