a BEHEFAcToR.

The people of Ocala, who pay taxes
and are interested in the city's fiscal
affairs, owe a debt of gratitude to
Mr.. Herbert A. Ford.
As chairman of the finance COM
mittee of the city council, he has
laboriously plodded through books
and papers of years standing and
has succeeded in thoroughly I'M
tangling its financial condition and
the same can now be easily under
stood by any one who has a '-Iow-
ledge of figures.
Such a thing has never before been
undertaken and the labor it entailed
is known only to Mr.. Ford's fellow
members of the committee.
The receipts of the city from all
sources under different headings have
been carefully collected and collabor-
ated and the expenditures under all
heads were treated in similar man
ner, and the exact status of the city's
affairs is established, and those con-
nected with its affairs can now go to
work in an enlightened manner in
fixing its annual budget. In the
language of the Alabama statesman
the lefty fathers" know exactly
where they are[at."
We know the hard work Mr..
Ford has expended in his researches
and the good work he has accom-
plished, and on behalf of the tax pay
ers and the city's good wishes return
him a vote of thanks.

All Arrangements Complete for

All Arrangements Complete for
Ceremony Thursday Night.
At the hall of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians Thursday night the mem
bers of Division No. will be formally
initiated. Many members of Divisions
Nos. l, and will be in attendance
These, with the seventy-five charter
members of No. 3, will insure a large
gathering.
After the initiation ceremonies are
over the newly elected officers of Di-
vision No. will be installed by the
members of the county board. Mr..
John ]. Powers, county president, will
preside Mr.. P. j. O'Connor national
director. and Mr.. NJ. ]. O'Leary. state
secretary will also be present.
A refreshment committee, consist
ing of Messrs. w. ]. Dempsey, James
Corish, ]. j. Dillon, w. +. Whelan and
Thomas r. Gleason, will attend to the
wants of the members after the bust
ness part of the programme is over
Division No. bids fair to be the
banner division of the A. o. H. in
Chatham county, not alone for the
large number of charter members, but
for the prominence of the men enrolled.
Too much credit cannot be given to
Mr. Maurice Buttimer and his able as
sistants for the energy they have dis
played in organizing this division.
On Tuesday evening. June Z, the
members of Divisions Nos. l, and 4,
who have not taken the different de-
gres, will be initiated jointly. The OBJ
ject of these two limitations being given
so close together is to make all men,
bers possible, eligible for the trip to
Charleston on Sunday, June II.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
p. j. O'Connor, ]. j. Stafford and H.
p. Walker, will make all arrangements
regarding trains, etc. 1t is necessary
that all members who contemplate
making this trip give their names TO
the secretary of their division at once
so that the lover home" brothers will
know how many they will have to pro-
vide with necessary accommodations,
etc.
Much interest is being taken in the
picnic to be given by Division No. at
Tybee on Thursday, June 16. Judging
by the large sale of tickets already re-
ported it promises to be the success of
the season.

SETTLE ALL TROUBLE
OUTSIDE OF COURT.
West Broad street SaIOOnists Have
Reached an Agreement.

West Broad street SaIOOnists Have
Reached an Agreement.
An agreement has been reached be-
tween the proprietors of the "West
Broad Street Saloon whereby all diff
ferences are patched up and the case
is settled out of court. When this
announcement was made to Judge
Cam yesterday he passed an order dis
solving the receivership and dismissing
the case.
The difficulty arose owing to dis
agreement between the partners. L. c.
Rehm instituted proceedings against
]. H. Rainwater and G. A. Spinks, ask
ing that an injunction be granted to
prohibit the defendants from disposing
of the business, that they be compelled
to render an account of their business
to him as a partner, and that a re-
Ceiver be appointed to wind up the
business of the firm. A temporary in
junction was granted and Mr.. ]. c.
Shaw was appointed temporary receiv
er and directed to take charge of the
business of the firm.
This was done and the question of
appointing a permanent receiver set
for argument yesterday. When the case
was called the announcement that an
agreement had been reached was made
to the court. Accordingly the case was
dismissed and the receivership dis
solved, the money, already taken in by
Mr.. Shaw being applied to the costs
of the legal action,

ANTI-SCALPING
TICKET LAW
TO BE PASSED BY COUNCIL.
MAYOR ORDERED ALL APPLICA-
TIONs FOR LICENSES HELD UP.

Matter VIII BE Brought to Attention
of Council at Next Regular Meet
ing and Mayor Snys He Is Con-
hdent Aldermen viii Adopt an
Anti-ScaIpinE Ordinance, If Rail-
roads Will Agree to Give COnces-
siOns.
Mayor Herman Myers has instruct
ed the city treasurer, not to accept
any payment on a ticket scalper's Ii
cense in the future.
The licenses are to be held up. if any
applications should be made, until
Mayor Myers can bring to the atten-
ton of the City Council the benefits
to be derived from passing an anti
scalping ordinance, as has recently been
done in a number of other cities.
The matter is to be taken up at the
next regular meeting, and the chances
are that the aldermen will agree on
such an ordinance. though it will not
be passed in one meeting.
Council VIII Favor 1t.
II have no doubt in the world that
Council will enact such an ordinance .
said the Mayor yesterday, If the rail-
reads give us the assurance that We
will derive the same benefits that other
cities are receiving from similar ordi-
RANGES. The matter will be brought to
the attention Of the aldermen next
waek."
Atlanta recently passed such an or
dinance and numerous concessions were
made that city in return. The chief of
these was the allowing of stop-ovec
privileges on through tickets without
the annoyance of having 10 have the
tickets validated. When called on to
do it the railroads readily grant special
rates to the cities, which have an anti
scalping ordinance, while o'ner cities
obtain these concessions with the great
est difficulty.
Railroads Want Ordinance.
Railroad men here assert there is no
doubt that Savannah would be grant
ed all the concessions given to other
cities, if such an ordinance were pass
ed and enforced.
That Savannah has more to gain by
such an ordinance than almost any
other Southern city is the opinion of
almost every one who has investigated
the matter. There are so many inter-
esting places in and around the city,
that visitors would take advantage of
the stop-over privilege. Every line Of
business in the city would be bene-
fitted.
Mayor Myers is very much in favor
of such an ordinance and that there
might be no complications, when it
comes up, he issued orders yesterday
to hold up any applications that may
be made for a license for a scalpers
office.

DOG LAWS HAVE BECOME
OBSOLETE IN SAVANNAH.
Decision by Recorder in Favor of
Owner Given Yesterday.


Owner Given Yesterday.
Paying one dollar for a dog badge
will probably protect the owner from
fine If the dog bites anybody, unless
its viciousness is clearly shown.
This would seem to be part of the
ruling yesterday morning of Recorder
Myrick in the case of Richard Hearst,
colored, who was charged with allow
ing a vicious dog to run at large. The
dog bit a negro boy Saturday. The
evidence tended to show that the boy
had thrown sand in the dogs eyes to
tease it. 1t was further held that the
owner would not be liable for his dogs
bite unless the animal was mad or
vicious.
While the statute protecting citizens
from dogs has been on the books since
1882 1t has never been enforced and is
what might be called a dead letter.
The following is the language of
Section 1878: mo dog shall be per-
mitted to go at large within the said
city unless he has around his neck
collar, with the owners name plainly
expressed or engraved thereon; and If
any dog is or shall be discovered go
ing about without being so muzzled
and without a collar, as aforesaid, the
owner of such dog shall forfeit and
pay a sum not exceeding five dollars
for each and every offense: and any
person being bitten, or injured by any
dog running at large, or without the
enclosure of the owner thereof. the
owner of such dog. or the individual
in whose enclosure the dog is usually
kept, shall be fined in a sum not ex-
ceeding twenty dollars"
In the section preceding it is pro-
vided that dogs must be muzzled dur
ing the months from June to October
inclusive. This act will be in effect
tomorrow, but like the one quoted 1t
has become obsolete by disuse.

The Savannah tugs w. F. McCauley
and Jacob Paulsen were engaged Sat-
urday afternoon in an effort to haul
into deep water the English tramp
steamer Belford, which had become
stuck off Sapelo. The steamer was
loaded with lumber and was bound
for transatlantic port. 1t ran
aground and called to its assistance
not only the Savannah tugs but the
Sophie and the Mallonee, both of
Darien.
The combined efforts of the tugs
were insufficient to get the tramp off

believed that if the deck load were
discharged the rising tide would be
sufficient to float the ship and the Sa-
vannah boats left the scene

the purpose of restoring the charter
and installing the new officers, the cleo
ton of which was made necessary by
the action of the Grand Lodge.
The lodge room was crowded with

ATTACKED PRISONER
IN PATROL WAGON.
Lively Fight Over an Alleged Debt
of Three Dollars.

Ot Ihree DOilars.
Disappointed in not being able to
collect an alleged debt of 50 from w.
L. Fountain, who had taken advan-
tage of the bankruptcy act, 1. Malever'
yesterday caused trouble in the store
of J. C. Slater on West Broad street,
where Fountain is employed as city
salesman.
When the trouble was quoted down
1t was found that 1. Malever had re-
ceived a bad scalp wound from an axe
handle welded by Fountain, who also
used the same weapon on r. Malever,
a son of the first man struck. The
blow which was aimed at the head,
was warded off and fell upon the
young mans arm.
After Fountain had been arrested
and placed in the patrol wagon, r.
Malever made a vicious attack on
him, knocking him down and infiict-
ing painful bruises on Fountains
head. The son was placed under ar
rest by Patrolman Collins, who
brought in the two prisoners and also
the injured man. The scalp wound
was sewed up at police headquarters
by DIR. w. E. Norton.
Fountain, according to his story,
was in the store of Slater, making up
his order book The elder Malever
came into the store and after talking
with the proprietor turned TO Fountain
and began abusing him for not paying
an alleged debt of So, calling him
thief and a robber.
There is a diversity of evidence as 20
what followed. Fountain claims that
Malever saw a man coming towards the
store and called out, son, come and
-. H. Ina a zra q
ing with a piece of board. At this
Fountain grabbed an axe handle and
struck Malever on the head, laying
open the skin for several inches.
Just at this instant r. Malever, the
son, came up, and Fountain turned
on him with the axe handle. The
newcomer caught the blow on his arm.
Before anything else could be done by
ISLANDERS interfered and separated the
combatants. Fountain was placed UNI
der arrest.
The patrol wagon was summoned and
after Patrolman Collins had put Foun-
tain into the wagon, r. Malever rush
ed at the prisoner and before his in
tentions were understood he had struck
Fountain a singing blow on the side
of the face.
He was then placed under arrest and
taken to the police station, I. Malever
was also placed in the wagon. At
the police station the cut in his scalp
was sewed up by DR.. Norton. He
was then taken to his home. No. 10
St. Gaul street. His injuries are not
considered serious.
The trouble originated over an al
legged Indebtedness of SO incurred by
Fountain some months ago in having
some hauling done by Malever. Later
he went into bankruptcy. cutting out
the claim. In the patrol wagon yes
terday the old man continued to be-
wall sise loss of his SO.
