New Decatur. May 7.-(Special.)-A the regular meeting of the City Council last night an ordinance was passed levying a tax of 3-10 of 1 per cent on city real es- tate for the benefit of the public schools.
 Alderman James Pire who will go to Louisville, Ky, to reside. resigned his office as Alderman and man will be elected to take his place at the next reg ular meeting of the Board
 An ordinance granting the right to J. T. Cross of Chattanooga. to construct an electric street railway and light and pow CT plant here came before the City Coun- cil last might. At the outset Mayor Turn CT stated to the City Council that now was the time to either kill or pass the ordinance" Alderman Pirie made a mo- ton that the ordinance be passed section by section. The motion was lost. After this action of the Council MT. Cross. who was present. withdrew all propositions and taking the ordinance he tore it into thousand pieces and then took the first train for Chattanooga. He stated he had no further time to spend here as there were too many places open for him to invest his money.
 Many of the best citizens regret and censure the action of the Mayor and Board as they fully expected to have elec- tric street cars here by fall Some weeks ago Decatur granted MT. Cross a fran chise and it was hoped that New Decatur would do likewise.

Judge Mccall says that the citizens of Choctaw had rather see the Louisville and Nashville extend the Birmingham, Selma and New Orleans to Hattiesburg. than to Meridian. as 1t will traverse a larger section of the, county by going to the former place. The Judge says that when he reads the railroad articles in The Advertiser he can almost see the headlights of the engines crossing the proposed bridge over the Tom Bigbce. He bought 1,20O acre farm on the strength of the road running through the county. but says that Choctaw dirt Is good, railroad or no railroad. The Judge will not have to wait long, for in the course of six or eight months, twelve months at the extreme, those in a posi- ton to know say the Louisville and Nash vile will be extended across the river and will tap the New Orleans and North eastern at either Hattiesburg or Meri- dian, with the chances largely in favor of it's going to the former place.

MIR. FLYNN PAYS A FINE
HIS TROUBLE WITH HEATH IN

Shooting at the Recent Session of the Federation of Labor Now Closed Ineident--Cen- tral City News.
Advertiser Bureau.


 s Selma. May [.
 The Leath- Flynn shooting which took place at the Pavilion during the State convention of the Federation of Labor. came to an end in police court this morn ing. MT. Flynn came down to Selma last week, accompanied by Mr. DeB. Hooper, and tried to settle the matter out of court. but City Attorney Walter R. Shafer re- fused to listen to a settlement without going into the facts. Mir. Flynn was un- der bond to appear in the police court Of Selma yesterday morning, and he had MT. Hooper's and Mr. Flynn's word that he would be here. MT. 6hafer was a lit tie angry at MT. Flynn's not keeping his promise and he sent Mir. Hooper tele- gram with the words: Flynn must be here Tuesday morning at S:so.''
 The telegram had the desired effect and MT. Flynn was in Selma early this morn- ing. He sent a note to MT. Shafer's room at o'clock to let him know that he was on hand. Mr. Flynn made another at tempt to get Mir. Shafer to settle the case out of court. but the City Attorney told him very emphaticaliy that he would have to go to trial. The only thing that he would promise Flynn was that he would not urge the Mayor to make him pay his forfeiture bond, but would make a state ment to-the court and leave 1t with His Honor to collect the forfeiture or not.
 When the case was called. City Attor- ney Shafer said that he had not summon ed his witnesses, as he did not know when MT. Flynn was going to appear. but he would be ready by F m.. and they would then go into the trial of the case. MT. Flynn said that his witnesses were scat tered all over the State, and he could not go to trial in ten or fifteen days. MT. Shafer told Flynn he did not want to take advantage of him in the least and to select any day for the trial that he his convenience.
 Mr. Flynn said 1t would cost him great deal to have to bring his witnesses here. and begged the Mayor and City Attorney to allow him to plead guilty to an assault with a weapon. Chief Walters tnterceded in Flynn's behalf and begged Mir. Shafer to agree to the proposition. which he finally did. though 1t was evident that the breech of faith with the City Attor- ney was ranking in that officials breast. Mayor Mcleod then reduced the offence from assault to murder to assault with a weapon, and assessed a fine of $35. He said he could not overlook the fact that MT. Flynn had failed to show up in court on the day that his bond said he should be here, and had sent no telegram or written an excuse as to why he had not l appeared. and he would assess an addi- | tional fine of s on that score. Flynn was glad to get out of the scrape with a | fine of $40, so he paid up and went on his way rejoicing.
 Of course the Dallas County grand jury | can indict him for assault with intent | to murder. but it is not likely that 1t will | be done, unless Mir. Flynn goes back to l Birmingham and commences to abuse Selma, as he Is reported to have done | while here
