Virgin & Faunce. Brokers, Make New
 Arrangemente.

Arrangements
 Virgin & Faunce. brokers at 11s and i2t Bibb Street. who were temporarily embarrassed by the failure of J. Wal ter Labaree & Co., their New York correspondents. resumed business yes terday and announced their association with Hayward Wick & Co.,. one of the really strong establishments of the country.
 The Montgomery firm suffered little financial loss by the failure of Labaree & Co. The local embarrassment was due to the fact that Virgin & Faunce received their telegraphic service from Labaree & Co, and the failure of that firm caused suspension of the wire service. All creditors of the local firm were paid promptly and in full.
 In a remarkably short time for such an important undertaking Virgin & Faunce secured connections with Hay ward Wick & Co. who are regarded as one of the most reliable firms doing business on the great exchanges.
 The local firm re-enters business with private wires to New York, Chicago, New Orleans and the principal cities of Alabama. Texas, Oklahoma Territory Louisiana. Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee.

WILL REFUSE
Treasurer Instructed to Decline
Telephone Company's License
Toe City will Investigate the Matter
of Franchise. Also, 1t Is Said.

The finance committee of the gem
eral council, has instructed the city
treasurer not to accept the 500 Ii
cense money from the East Tennessee
Telephone company should il be pre-
sented. II seems some of the members
are sore because the company took out
an injunction against the city TO pre-
vent the collection of license on
poles, and will investigate the com
pany's right to do business without q
franchise. 1t will probably not be
until after the license suit now pend
ing is settled, however.
Nearly every administration for the
past several years has investigated the
same thing, end the present admins.
tration will probably find out what
the others did, that the telephone
company is doing business under
state grant and had perpetual permit
from the city years before such thing
as franchise was known The Padu-
cab Gas company does the same thing.
Neither has franchise because each
came into existence many years before
the franchise law was passed, and the
court of appeals has decided in num-
Der of similar cases that such laws
cannot be made retroactive.
The telephone officials Claim that
their suit to prevent the city from col
lecting the license is simply to settle
the question of the city's right to as
sess a double license. II the license of
800 a year is legal, the one requiring
g tax on each pole, cannot also be-,
and If the latter is legal, the 300 Ii
cense is illegal. The company simply
desires to know which it 10 liable for,
believing that it cannot be required to
pay a double license.

gard to the bids for the K. of p.

the bids was opened, and it was de-
cided not to open them until August
90. 1t is supposed this was done at
the request Of Louisville Pythians,
who, on account OF the large fund
they are raising for the big conclave
in August, have not been in q posi-
tion to give the subscription for Sc
curing the home the desired atten-
ton.

day were: W. q. Quinby, of Dayton,
