$4,000 PAID
For Loss In the Recent Tobacco
Warehouse Fire.

The Insurance adjustors who are
here settling the loss of the Farmer,
Graham, and others who sustained
losses in the warehouse fire last
week, have settled all but a few hum
dred dollars of the entire loss
II is said that the total figures in
settlement will amount to $4,000.
The loss of the dealers on all full
insurance was paid but some buy
ers had more insurance than tobac-
co on hand, and these losses were of
course apportioned and not paid in
full.
One matter with the Graham COM
pany is hanging fire but this only be-
cause the adjustors have to go over
some books before adjusting the
loss.

JUDGE EVANS
SUMMONS THREE TO COME UP
AND EXPLAIN.
May Fine Them for Working Mines
in Livingston County.

Clerk J. r. Puryear. of the fed
eral court of this district, this morn
ing received an order of an unusual
nature.
1t Is in the case of w. H. Mann
against the Marion Zine Co.. and
others, a suit to settle the ownership
of mineral property in Livingston
and Crittenden counties. During a
recent sitting of court the Judge sus-
tanned an injunction restraining any
one in the suit from digging or work
ing the mineral property. Nothing
was done with the property until
several weeks ago when il is claim
ed w. II. Mann, w. l.. Kennedy and
c. s.. knight, parties in the suit, be-
gan digging.
This is in direct conflict with the
instructions of the court. and the
order received this morning sum
moned the three above mentioned
persons TO appear in Louisville be-
fore Judge Walter Evans ON Sep
TENDER s, and show reason why they
should not be punished for contempt
of court In failing to carry out the
provisions of the injunction.
The suit has been in federal court
for sometime and has been one of
great interest

Heat" in Franchise Ordinance
Causes More vexatious Delay.
Mayor Discovered II and Refused to
Sign-Morc Called Meetings
Necessary. lkf1
IT Is DUE TO CARELEssNEss

The city seems to be having a
great deal of trouble getting its or
dinances inshape before they can be-
come laws and be enforced. 1t was
not long ago that the "anti-spitting"
ordinance, after going the rounds OF
the boards, had to be passed over
again because the word walk" had
been left off Sidewalk" making the
ordinance meaningless.
Yesterday the aldermen discovered
that the word general had been
left off general council" in the quar-
antine ordinance, and decided that
1t would have to go in.
The ordinance was then amended
and the previous three passages of
the measure were thus rendered use
less, as the ordinance had to be pass
ed all over again.
1t was only short time after
wards that Mayor Yeiser, in read
ing over the two FRANCHISE ordinan-
ces, discovered that there was SUI
perfluous word in the title of one of
the ordinances. 1t was in the ordi-
nance providing for the sale of a
light and power franchise. The board
of aldermen yesterday gave final
passage to the two ordinances for the
sale of a street railway and light
and power ordinance, and the coun-
Gil having already passed them, they
were handed to the mayor to sign.
He found the railway ordinance
all right but in the title of the light
and power ordinance, the superfu-
Gus word heat" was found The
company already has a heat fran
chise and there was nothing in the
body of the ordinance referring to
heat, but Mayor Yeiser declined to
sign the light and power ordinance
until the word "heat' in the title
was eliminated
This morning the board of alder
men held another called meeting,
and gave second passage to the quar-
antine ordinance, as amended yes
terday and first passage to the light
and power franchise ordinance, as
changed today by taking "heat' from
the title.
The board will meet again tomor-
row morning to give second passage
to the light and power franchise or
dinance, and then the council, which
has already passed it twice. will have
to pass II twice again, with the word
heat" stricken out.
The board of aldermen came near
killing the quarantine ordinance to-
day. 1t seems that the board is OPP
posed to a quarantine under present
conditions, and had one member to-
day agreed to vote against the ordi-
nance with the others. 1t would have
been killed. He is opposed to a quar-
antine, but advised the members to
go ahead and pass the ordinance and
let the question of quarantine
come up later.
All this error and confusion in
the transaction of public business
seems to be uncalled for. and is due
entirely to carelessness on part of
the solicitor in preparing ordinances
and the Indifference of members of
the boards who seldom pay any at
tention to the ordinances read, and
when they do catch mistakes. 1t is
usually by accident.
These called meetings cost So for
each member present. but the street
railway company has been paying for
them.
