council's Special Meeting.


 At a special meeting of the city council which convened at 5:30 o'clock this afternoon. two important questions
 were considered. The first question
 taken under consideration was that
 of the paid fire department and the
 getting of a new insurance rating for the city.
 The body was called to order by President of the Council Peacock and then Mayor Atkins in a speech ex- plained the purpose of the meeting.
 He went into the matter of the rat
 ing of Selma as a second class city as it had been considered by tho city and the Southeastern Tariff Associa-
 tion. and told what was required for
 this city to get a rating with that body. Special Agent Mcdowell of the Southeastern Tarin Association then addressed the council and illustrated the difference in the rating of a second class city and the rating as 1t now is. He also assured the council that the Southeastern Tariff Association would carry out its part of the contract if the city of Selma would put in a paid fire department and make such im- provement as was required. and inn provements that the water works company had said it would also make. MT. Mcdowell told the council that the new rating which he had explained was much lower than the present rat ing. even after adding 25 per cent on account of the alleged excessive taxation which the insurance compa-
 nies paid In this city. He recently went over the city and said that the new rating would save the assured at least s8.000 per year.
 The matter was thoroughly discussed by the members of the council and finally Councilman Agee made a motion that 1t was the sense of the meeting that paid fire department should be established. This also was dis cussed at length and after the mo- ton was adopted MT. Mcdowell prom ised to get to work re-rating the city at once. The new rating will go in effect on the first of October.
 The question of the municipal own ership of the water and lighting plants l was then taken up and considered at length and the meeting finally ad- journed without anything being &C., | complished.
 The question as to how to prlchase these pla rts received considerat.e at | tention and some members wanted bonds issued before it was found what the plants could be bought for. Vari- ous clauses in the contract with the | water company were questioned and | no one appeared to thoroughly under stand the contract that the city had with the company. It was thought
 that an excessive price for the plant | would be asked and that the price would not be based on what the plant has cost the company. but on the in terest on the money which the com pany had invested and Is now receiv- ing on the investment.
 Councilman Meyer finally made a motion that the special committee which had been appointed to investi. gate purchasing the two plants should get the contract with the water com pany and study it and report back to the next meeting of the council. The meeting then adjourned.

Hungary. Political Troubles.

Budapest, July 1S.-The coal ition majority of the lower house of the Hungarian Par liament today issued a manifesto at- tacking the Fejervary Cabinet as un- constitutional and holding that the present Government of Hungary is act ing unlawrully.
 Therefore, the manifesto says, it is the duty of all good citizens to refrain from paying taxes, rendering military service or otherwise obeying the man dates of the Government. It warns mu- nicipal officials not to perform the du- tics laid down by the State authorities and pledges that if they should be dls- missed for failure to perform the duties they will be reimbursed by the consti- tutioral government when 1t is finally formed. The Catholic Bishop of Tran sylvania has had prayers to be said in all churches for the speedy re-estab-' Iishment of confidence between the kinS and the nation.

 Rumor was busy with an alleged meet. ing of Erie directors to declare an initial dividend on the second preferred stock. but these also were unsubstantiated. Pittsburg Coal preferred suffered from the passing of its quarterly dividend. The poor annual showing of the International Mercantile Marine Company was not without some eff feet in the market, although its securities are not dealt in on the Stock Exchange. and in the same way the. initiation of divi.. dends on Bethlehem Steel preferred was of sentimental benefit to the iron and steel for the second week of July uniformly higher than last years similar period.
 The recent more active demand for money in loans on time perceptibiy relaxed and the proceeds of loan bills in the ex- change market increased the supply so that the tone for time money became easy. Rates for call loans were also inclined to yield.
