COUNCIL MEETING ToslcHT.

The city council will meet in regu-
lar session again tonight and it is
expected that several matters of some
importance to the city will come up

other things it is expected that City
Engineer J. P. Harper will submit his
written report to the council of his
survey of the railways of the city, as
ordered some time ago, with view
to ascertaining their assessable valua-
ton for taxation purposes. 1t is now
known that the Iron Mountain compa-
ny operates in this city about four or
five miles of trackage, including side
tracks. The company, according to
the statements Of Alderman Chas.

tyackage This has been going on for
several years, and it is one of the prob
abilities of the present investigation

PRISON FOR CONGRESSMAN

sentence of the court is that you shall

months and pay a fine of $500"
Congressman John N. Williamson
listened with set features as this SEN
tence was pronounced upon him by
Judge Hunt. A last futile effort had
been made by his counsel to avert the
impending judgment by the plea that
sentence would interfere with the de-
fendants performance of his duties as
a member of congress. The objection
was overruled. Squaring his shoulders
as if to gather himself to meet the
impending blow, Williamson turned to
hear the penalty of his violation of the
law.
The words were soon spoken and

former United States commissioner
rose to their feet to hear the sentence

to be the guest of honor, as intimated
by Governor Davis. General Clay
ton has been invited to participate in
the ceremonies incident to the presi-
dents visit, and it is declared that
the invitation will not be recalled.
The Republican leaders held an in
formal conference yesterday in the
office of Judge Jacob Trieber, but it
was not productive of any results. 1t
was decided that as the matter is in
the hands of the executive committee.
it would be unWisme for the Republi-
can leaders to take any part in tn,
matter.
The executive committee will hold
another meeting Monday, when the
matter will again come up for discus
sion.
Judge John H. Rogers. whom Gov
ernor Davis objected to, has not been
named on any of the committees con.
nected with the visit of the president,
but has been invited to occupy a seat
at the presidents table at the lunch
con to be given at the Scottish Rite
consitory. The invitations to neither
Judge Rogers nor General Clayton
will be recalled, and unless the gov
ernor recedes from his position. it is
the luncheon at the consistory. In
case the governor is not present. it is
probable that Lieut.. Gov. John P. Lee.
who has been invited, will act as the
representative of the state on that
occasion.

drunk and raising quite disturbance
is said to have had all the negroes
scared of him and flying in all direc-
tions. by brandishing his gun promis-
cuously about the house. Someone
suggested sending for John Wilson,
the colored policeman, and Koontz
seems to have heard them, for he be-
gan a TRADE of abuse against the Off
Ger, and wound up by pleading with
someone to send for the policeman.
"Jes' send fer dat niger officer"
he is quoted as saying: 'Td jes' like
ter see him comm now. Wouldn't I
fix him. thought"
Just at this particular juncture he
happened to cast his optics down the
street, and there he saw coming John
Wilson, accompanied by Big Ivan
Parnell. Doubtless the big blue coats
and brass buttons didn't set we'll with
him, for he made a break for the
rear. and both officers were unable to
catch him.
They laid for him. however, and
soon had the man located in another
part of the town. One of the officers
went to the front of the house, while
the other went to the rear and sta
toned himself in the entrance to the
alley. The negro saw the officer com
ing in the front door, and made his
exit out the rear, and ran squarely in
to the arms Of Ivan Parnell He was
the worst scared negro in the state
about that time, and submitted very
tamely to being carried to the Gala
hoose and being locked up.
