Interesting to Many.
THE SEWER Is DISCUSSED.
Assessments Are on File at Clerks
Office and May Be Inspected by
Property Owners Of City.

The Tuesday evening meeting of
the city council was marked by the
rapidity with which that body wad-
ed through the amount of accrued
business, Notwithstanding that it
was at an early hour the following
morning before the labors of the
body we're complete.
In addition to the routine work
the third reading of ordinances 81
to 45, inclusive, occupied the atten-
ton of the council for a time, four
of this bunch being passed. These
four were those certain ordinances
referring to houses of ill-fame, the
hitching or weighting of horses
when left unattended, prohibiting
females from lettering in or being
entertained in saloons in the city
and prohibiting the use of slot ma
chimes in the city
Ordinances 46 to 40, inclusive re-
ceived their second rea ding, while
ordinance No. 80, regulating sewer
and water connections and the lic-
ensing of plumbers was given it's
initial reading.

F. J: Rinnert has purchased the
old Liebrock block, on west Chest

early spring. This block is the
first solid brick erected in the city,
being built after the fire of 1893, and
through lack of drainage the
foundation has given way and the
building partially wrecked. Mr..

premises. and Contractor ~McDon-
nell being present. The method in
whlchSthe work has or is reported
to have been done drew out some
pointed remarks on the part of
Mayor Fay and members of the
council, and it was shown peradven-
ture that the letter of the signed
contract was passed up like white
chip by the contractor in many re-
spects. The claim was openly made
that the trenches were dug much
narrower than the specifications de-
manded, that the joints were not
properly cemented, that in the fill
ing OF trenches the contract terms
were is gnored and that the sewer
was not in conformity with specifi-
cations in being so laid as to be
water proof against surface water.
All Of these poi4 4ts were practic-
ally admitted by the city engineer,
Mr.. McGilvery, who warmly defend
ed these discrepancies in the per-
fornance of the contract, seeming
1y appearing in behalf of the con-
tractor instead of the city.
The council provided for the issu.
ance of sewer warrants to Mr.. Nc:
Donnell in the sum of $500, in lieu
of al equal amount of city orders
ordered issued by the former coun-
Gil; qut which were held up on ac-
cou1t of the lack of funds in the
city freasury.
Engineer McGilvery also submit
ted q list of special tax assessments
for sewer improvements, which will
be taken up for proper considera-
ton. at future meeting of the
council.

n. hinUd Shooting (dQ.

The preliminary hearing OF the two
Berbrich boys, Harry and Louie,
charged with shooting Enoch Lewis,
a sheepherder, on the range near Min
eral several weeks ago, was set for
Thursday morning, but was abruptly
postponed on account of disappear
ance of Lewis some time Tuesday
night. The two defendants and their
father, and Messrs. H. t. Wiley, W.
Abbott, B. jackson and o. P. Griffith,
witnesses in the case, arrived In the
city from Mineral Wednesday. Lewis,
the principal witness, also arrived
Wednesday, but it is thought he was
SO badly frightened and worked up
over the approaching trial that he de-
cided, with the aid of friends, to
leave the country. The case was dis
missed for want of prosecution.

Harrow [5(dpe from Tire.

What might have been disastrous
fire was nipped in the bud early We'd
nesday morning at Billy Blacks
cigar store. Between the end of the
confectionery case and the wall a
cloth sign had been deposited, and it
is thought someone carelessly tossed
cigar or cigarette stump there on
the evening before, igniting the cloth,
which smouldered until next morn
ing, when it was famed into flame.
The blaze was leaping to the top of
an eight-foot partition when discov-
cred. Aside from slightly scorching
the wall and case, no damage was
done.

Military Letter.

To the Young Men Of Palatka and
Putnam County:
The first day of August is the last
day upon which man may be en-
listedin Company d, for the coming
encampment, therefore l. deem it
proper to call your attention to the
same, and ask all who have the in
terests of militia, and this cOuntry's
protection at heart to consider the
matter of giving in their names for
election ut this time. The company
and state need well drilled, high
toned and fearless young men, and
these great, interesting, instructive
and healthy camps give splendid OPP
pOrtuuities for the state militia to be-
come cOnyersant with practices of
field and camp life; moulding them,
as near us may be. in the art and
knowledge of tactics of modern war
fare, in order to further assure their
ability to protect our locality and if
necessary to command respect to law
and honor to the flag. Please meet
us at 8 o'clock on Tuesday or Thurs
day evenings. Attend our drills
and give us your enlistment, you
will never regret it.
Yours faithfully,
E. n. CALHOUN,
Capt. End Inf. F. S. T.

,JustiiiabIe Homicide

Chas. Feaster a colorod cmploye of
the Palatka Ice company died on
Saturday last of conclusion of the
brain, the result of blow dealt him
on the head on Tuesday previous by
John Jackson another colorcd en-
ploye of the same company.
Feaster and Jackson drove ice
wagons. The latter was new to the
work. When he unhitched his
horse last Tuesday week he unwit-
tingly hung the harness on peg
which Feaster claimed rs his own.
Feaster came along later and seeing
the harness on his peg threw it to
the floor. When Jackson saw his
harness on the floor he asked how it
got there. Then Feaster savagely
told Jackson and added the ugly
information that if he found the
harness on his peg again it would
be similarly treated. Feaster got
very abusive and ugly and called
Jackson vile names which the latter
resented in kind Then Feastcr
picked up an empty beer bottle and
made motion as if to throw it at
jackson. But jackson was too
quick for him. He grabbed Il heavy
stick and brought it down with con-
considerable force on Feaster's head
The blow laid him out. From
Tuesday to Saturday Feaster grew
worse and then died.
Justice Rowton held an inquest on
Wednesday when all the testimony
was presented. 1t was shown that
Feaster was belligerent, quarelsOme
and Overbearing man and that Jack
sou was obliged to defend himself.
The fact that he used Il little more
force than was necessary seems to
have been overlooked by the jury.
Anyway, the jury called it "justifia-
Bile homicide" and Jackson has been
discharged
