Especial New York letter.

JOHN CRUGER, the first pres

could stand in Liberty street to-day
and gaze upon the magnificent struc-
ture of white marble, the first home
that the organization has owned since
t was inaugurated 100 years ago, his
widest dreams of the commercial ad-
Vancement of his country would ap-
pear prosaic and insignificant. 1t is
along cry from 1902 to 176S, but when
we consider the wondrous progress
made by the United States compared
to the pace of other countries; the
span of years seems like a thousand.
Inc palace that has been reared in
Liberty street is in marked contrast
TO the humble structure at the south
east corner of Pearl and Broad
streets, which was the first meeting
place of the chamber of commerce,
but the difference between the two
buildings is by no means 50 great as
that between the struggling city of
$4,000 inhabitants and the mighty
metropolis verging on toward 4,OOO,-
900 souls.
Wecan picture to ourselves this John
Cruger. with his high forehead, his
long curls, smooth face, black velvet
coat and white ruffle-more like a
poet than a merchant. We can un-

IN SPECIAL SESSION
COUNCIL HOLDS A TWENTY
MINUTES MEETING.
Session Called for Purpose of Con-
sidering Matter of Letting
Stores in City Building.
Bids to Be Submitted.

A special meeting of the City Council
twenty minutes long was held yesterday
afternoon at o'clock.
The meeting was called for the purpose
of considering the matter of renting the
stores in the City Building, end to con-
slider the report of the Water Commit
tee.
There was but little discussion and the
Aldermen quickly disposed of the ques-
tons before them.
Those present were President Fleming,
Aldermen Haygood, Kohn, Mcintyre
Roeder. Toole. Gunter, May, Anderson
Rushton and Hartley.
When the objects of the meeting had
been stated. Alderman Roeder said that
the renting Of the stores in the City
Building was a matter that ought to have
immediate attention, in order that the
preliminary details could be arranged be-
fore the beginning of the business year.
He one, ed the following resolution:
BE IT resolved by the City Council of
Montgomery, That the City Treasurer be
ano he is hereby instructed to advertise
in the local papers for one week for sealed
bids for the renting of all stores under
the City Building, bids to be in the City
Trcasurer's hands by Il noon on Monday,

The Council was ready for the question
without debate, and the resolution was
unanimously adopted.

The Railroad Commission.

1t Is always a sound principle that the
people should elect the officers who serve
them. If mistakes are made in the Sc
lection the responsibility is with the peo-
pie. Therefore, the Railroad Commission
should be elected by the people.
Those who serve the public should
draw their compensation from the public
treasury. The Railroad Commission Is
the servant of the people of Alabama and
should be paid. as other public officers
are paid, out of the funds of the people
A Railroad Commission that has not
the power to correct injustice and to
hold the railroads to a proper regard for
the rights of the public, is travesty
upon common sense.
A Railroad Commission should never be
created for the purpose of depressing
the railroads. but it should always be
clothed with the power to prevent the
railroads from depressing the public.
Therefore, the Railroad Commission of
Alabama should be granted more au-
thOrity by the Legislature.
The Railroad Commission. in a few
words, should be elected by the people,
paid by the people and given authority
to make it's services of value to the peo-

EXCESS WATER BILLS
COUNCIL REFUSES TO ALTER ITS
STAND IN MATTER.
Turns Two Petitions for Remission
Down Flat-one Was an IN
usual Case--Coal Bids
to Be Asked.

In its action upon the petitions Tor re-
lief from excess water charges, the CITY
Council at its special meeting yesterday
afternoon reaffirmed it's position that me
water user should pay for all water lost
through defective plumbing.
The petitions were based upon the claim
that the defective plumbing was nm
known. and both were turned down.
"A small fight against this action was
made by Alderman Roeder but he had no
assistance and a motion Of his to allow
the first petition died without a second
The committees action on the petition
was reported by Chairman Anderson.
Upon the application of II. Levy of 4OS
Monroe Street to be relieved or paying
so excess charges an adverse report was
submitted. The chairman explained that
the excess charge grew out of an I'M
derground leak on Mr.. Lewy's premises
which he did not find until 1t had been
examined by inspectors from the water
works department. The committee, 1how@
ever, did not see any reason for depart
ing from it's old custom of relieving ex-
cess charges only where mistake in
bookkeeping or reading the meter had
been made.
Mr.. Roeder was opposed to the report
of the committee on this particular case.
II dislike 70 take issue with the conf
mittee," said Mr. Roeder, but 1t appears
to me that 1t would be unjust to charge
a man for water that was lost on account
of a leak underground, which did not
show on the surface and of which he
could not possibly have known. l move
that he be relieved from the excess
charges"
Z Mr.. Rushton, a member of the Water
Committee, took the floor in support of
the committees action. He began by
saying:
THE Council should think carefully be-
foe it establishes a precedent of this
kind
He was interrupted by Chairman Ander-
son making the point that the Roedcr
motion had no second whereupon the
committee report was adopted only one
vote being cast against it, that Of AL
derman Roeder.
A similar petition from r. Dreyfus of
Is Adams Street for $3.50 excess charges
was adversely reported upon. The ex-
cess water charges in this case had been
run up on account of leak in the base
ment OF Mr.. Dreyfus's house. The COM
mittee's report was adopted.
The following resolution was presented
by Alderman Anderson:
Resolved, That the City Treasurer be
instructed to advertise for period of ten
days for sealed bids for supplying the
City Water Works with coal for twelve
months from August 1, 1902 to August
/. 1903. as per specifications to be fur
nished by the City Water Works De-
partment.
The resolution was adopted and the spe-
cial meeting adjourned.

1t is matter of wonder that far
more accidents do not occur out shoot
ing. 1t has been calculated that in the
British Isles some 30O,0UO persons (of
whom 100000 take out either game
or shooting" licenses) shoot more or
less in the course of the year; and it
has been estimated that no less than
50,000,0 900 to 100000 of cartridges are
annually fired. Yet the accidents are
few and far between. We have all had
escapes; others, perhaps, may: have
had escapes froH. us. I have myself
seen one fatal accident. I was near by
when another one occurred-the two
within four days of one another. But
the actual accidents, great or small,
that have come within ones own OBJ
servation or knowledge are,.. think,
extraordinarily and providential1y few,
