And after so bril- liant career she died in the Actor s Home in Amityville, Staten Island, NY, where for five months she had been a private patient as a charge of the actors fund. This gifted woman whose deathbed scenes on the stage have chilled the hearts and inspired thesen- thusiastic admiration of the thousands who enjoyed the fruits of her genius has made her last appearance in that role.

 Tn 1876 she came to the United States and played Medea and other roles in German and later made q success in tragic roles in English. She assayed such parts as Deborah, Blanca, Mary Stuart. Queen Elizabeth. Lady Macbeth and Meg Merrilies.
 Mime. Janauschek had not played regularly for several years, although until seven or eight years ago she would return to the stage for brief seasons. In July. 1900. she had her first touch of paralysis. Later she went to the home of Mrs. Alston in Saratoga, N Y.

 Reimbursed.

Anniston, Dec. 1.--(special) )--This morning Judge Coleman rendered de- cree authorizing Treasurer H. B. Glover to pay out several thousand dollars, the residue of interest on a debt paid some time ago.
 Some years ago a considerable sum of money was loaned to the county by the Anniston National Bank, the First National Bank of Anniston, W. J. Mar tin of Gadsden, Walter Deane of Jack sonvilie. and John Ramagana Of Jack sonville. Commissioners warrants were taken by the creditors. It devel- oped that the loan was without the pale of law, and an act was passed in 1901 validating what had been done. The debt and part of the interest were paid some time back, but there was a balance of interest of between $3.00o and $5,000. about which there was some question of the authority of the coun- ty to pay.

CITY COUNCIL TO ACT
WILL INVESTIGATES ALLEGED TAM
 PERING WITH ORDNANCE. q
1t Is Charged That Water Company Has Been Compelling the Payment of Ten Times the In-
 tended Rate.

Pensacola, Fla, Dec. 1.--(Special. )-- A sensation was sprung in the meet ing of the City Council last night by the introduction of a resolution by AL derman McHugh citing that Whereas. charges have been made publicly that the ordinance granting certain fran chises to the Pensacola Water Com pany had been illegally and feloniously tempered with" and calling for rigid Investigation
 The resolution is in charge of the City Attorney for the time being, and will bs properly considered before go- ing fitally to the Council.
 2 The resolution is the outcome of a series of articles from the pen of c. Fl. Bliss, of this city. who attacked the methods of the company in doing bus. mess here and finally brought out the statement from the President of the Water Company that the charges as made by the company were In line with those mentioned by the originally drafted ordinance, which could be found in the minute book and in the proceedings of the meeting when the ordinance granting the privileges was adopted. This was in the year 1888.
 The statement of the Water Company President impelIed Mir. Bliss to look up
 
 made that there was a discrepancy. The originally drafted ordinance had been tempered with. one of the ciphers in the clause making the rate at a cents per 1000 gallons" having been changed to read "3 cents per 100 gall lons," one of the ciphers having been erased.
 The discovery was noted In the Bliss articles, and the Council took oficial cognizance of the matter last night when the resolution was adopted with not a dissenting vote.
 should the allegations that there had been any irregularity practiced prove true, the resolution calls upon tho Council to ascertain if possible who Is responsible for the erasure, and 1t also calls for the punishment upon such knowledge being ascertained.
 The adption of the resolution caused considerable discussion in the city to- day. It means, if the charges of an erasure proves true. that the citizens of Pensacola have been charged ten times as much for water as the ordi- nance prescribed for many years.
 Dawkins was Acquitted.
 Presley c. Dawkins, the convict guard who has been on trial for mur- der fin the second degree for the past two days in the County Criminal Court. was acquitted last evening at o'clock.
 September 20 Dawkins left the city with two negro convicts for a trip to the camps, fifteen miles west of the city. Before the stockade was reached both negroes were dead. The State. upon the finding of coroner's jury, charged that the death of the two con- victs was attributable to culpable neg ligence on the part of Dawkins.
 Two indictments for murder in the second degree were found, but since the first was not proven. the State agreed to quash the second informa- tion.
