Punctual Aldermen CriticiSe
 Tardy Ones.
Police Chief Instructed to Enforce Sidewalk ordinance-Several Contracts for City Supplies
 Are Awarded-Ordi-
 nances Adopted.

The Montgomery City Council at its regular meeting last night in a two hours session transacted a mass of rou- tine business and adjourned at the un- usually early hour of 9:ao ?. m.
 The Council narrowly escaped a con- fiict as to the legality of any business transacted at last nights meeting. Four of the aldermen. aggravated at the tar- diness of several members of the Coun- cil, called the Council to order, had the roll called, and adjourned for lack of a quorum. They started to leave the chamber, but a question arose to whether the Council should meet at p. m. or 7:3o p. m.. and the Aldermen came back to the Council Chamber for fear of lack of leganty of their action.
 Four Punctual Aldermen.
 It has been announced that the Coun- cil meets at p. m., but upon the occa- sion of every meeting no quorum has been present until after 7:3o. At 7:l5 last night only four aldermen, Messrs. Gunter, Maddox, Sullivan and Coins had reached the Council Chamber. To tm- press punctuality upon the other mem bers of the Council, the Council was called to order, Alderman Maddox talk ing the chair. The roll was called and the clerk reported that no quorum was present.
 On the motion of Alderman Gunter the Council adjourned. The four aldermen left the Council Chamber, but before get. ting out of the building they decided that, perhaps, the hour fixed for conven- ing by the city ordinance was 7:S0 p. m. This question was not satisfactorily de- cided, and all of them returned to their seats.
 The Council was regularly called fo order at 7:3O, a quorum being present. After the roll had been called Alderman Gunter made the point of order that the proceedings were out of order, declaring that the Council had already met and adjourned for lack of a quorum.
 President Mcintyre ruled the point not well taken.
 MT. Gunter said that he would refrain from taking an appeal from the decision of the chair to avoid obstructing busi- ness.
 The following alderman answered to their names: President Mcintyre, Sulli- van, Ryan, Griffith. Roemer, Maddox Gunter Jackson, Coins, Teague, Kohn and Forbes.

OF them were taken ILL., The victims
suffered agonizing pain and there were
not enough well people TO care for the
sick
Help was summoned from this city and
the half dozen doctors who went over
were kept busy until this morning admin
isterins TO the sufferers. At first IL was
thought that many CO those afflicted
would die but the physicians now think
thar all Of them VIII pun through all
right
The cream It is said was. poisoned by an
unclean freezer that was used. Ice cream
had been made in IT about two weeks be
fore and il had not been properly cleaned
before being put away, the result being
that poison accumulated in it which the
new cream absorbed. There was a verit-
able reign of terror in AIendon all last
night, for the sufferingS of those affected
were terrible. Among those poisoned
were many Logan and Wellsvilie people
who were visiting with friends in Men
don. in consequence of which there was
quite a scare in both those cities.

John J. Ryan, of Get-Rich- Quick
Fame, Arrested on New
indictment.

New York, July 26.-John J. Ryan,
owner of race horses, was arrested at
the Brighton Beach race track this aft
ernoOn on a warrant charging the
larceny of $500, 900 by means of an al
legged get-rich-qTiick scheme, of which
it is alleged Ryan was the head. The
warrant for Ryan's arrest was exc
cuted at St Louis. The arrest was
made by a central Office detective. w o
was accompanied by a St. Louis detec-
tive and George Fickesson. assistant TO
Circuit Attorney Folk of St. Louis.
st. Louis, No, July 26.-New indict-
ments have been found against John J.
Ryan, operator of an alleged get-Tich-
quick race concern, and Lumpkin A
Gill. manager Of the Arnold company.
BY the grand jury which has recently
heard considerable evidence against the
men in question
There are seven of the new indict-
menrs. -Four are against Ryan, three
charging grand larceny and one charg-
ing embezzlemeut, and three against
Gill, two charging grand larceny and
one charging embezzlement.
u is stated that the charges are SIM
liar to those returned some months
ago and thrown out Of court on q de-
murrer. II was then held BY the court
that Ryan, the only defendant who was
tried. was acting as trustee for the de-
pOsitors and not subject to indictment
for embezzlement. When this ruling
was made the cases against Gill and
Arnold were discontinued
Since then Mr.. Folk and his assist
ants have been conducting a systemat-
ic and thorough search Of the statutes
for a means By which an Indictment
could be drawn that would withstand
the technical objection Of the defense,
and they believe that they have found
the way.
