COUNCIL PASSES RESOLUTIONS ON
 DEATH OF MAYOR.
Alderman Gaston Gunter Delivered . Brief Tribute to His Memory and Measure Was Adopted
 Standing.

By a standing vote, the City Council of Montgomery last night adopted reso- lutions of sorrow for the death of the ute for his valuable public life
 Nearly every alderman was present to do honor to this distinguished man who had been providentialiy stopped from rounding out one of the most pro gressive administrations the city gov ernment has ever known.
 Alderman Gunter delivered brief adoption of the resolution. He said that he did not have the pleasure and honor of knowing Mayor Carr for any great length of time, but that during the time his acquaintance lasted he was impressed with the sturdy character of the man. It was chiefly in public life that he could speak for the character associations with the highest oficer of Montgomery he. saw the straightfor- ward element in the peoples servant that always meets with success.
 The text of the resolutions adopted is as follows:
 whereas, an all-wise and divine Providence has removed from our midst our honored and respected Mayor. Thomas H. Carr. at the zenith of his usefulness as citizen and as an official of the city of Montgomery, now, there fore,
 Montgomery, that by the death of Thomas H. Carr, the city of Montgom- cry has lost one of its most distinguish ed honored and patriotic citizens.
 That the Council recalls with pride and pleasure his straightforward and honorable conduct in his dealings with his fellow men. his tireless fidelity to the interests of the city of Montgomery on all occasions and the energy exer- cised in its behalf; his natural ability as man and his executive ability as shown in long public service as an all derman and as Mayor of the city.
 That the Council and the public at large mourn the loss of MT. Carr and extend to his family their sincere sym pathy in their bereavement
 Be 1t further resolved, that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the fam fly of Mir. Carr and that the resolution be spread on the minutes of the Coun-

Acting Chairman Lobman of the Waterworks Committee read an ex- change of correspondence attached to the report of the committee on the sub pany of Rirmin gham. for the delivery of the air compressor. The letters read were from the executive officer of the contracting company and Consult ing Engineer B. B. Smith. The con tractors urged the city to pay one-half or three -fourths of the contract price for the compressor at present. They argued that this is due in view of the fact that the delay in shipment of the machinery was not the fault of them that the city had not prepared to re- cefve the compressor when 1t was ready for shipment
 The letter had been referred to En- gineer. Smith. according to the. com mittee,s report, and, he advised that Hardie-Tynes Company what they ask ed for at this time. The engineer said he was informed reliably that the plant of the company was burned at about and that it could not have been ship ped on time If the city had been pre- pared. Further, the engineer wrote that the foundation bolts for the com pressor had not been furnished by the contract provisions for receiving the compressor at the time specified.
 The company claimed that the com pressOr had been completed according to order six months before 1t was ship ped. Ii could have been shipped at dations had been completed. The city engineer also contended that the spe- cifications for the foundation had been altered and this accounted for much for the Judiciary Committee. and was referred to it.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

Uncle is enjoying more of the real old
prosperity this week at Recreation Park
than he ever had in his life before. They
are just handing 1t out to him in punches
as big as his bonnet. Yesterday was the
fifth without hesitation. 1t was pres
ent from Mr.. Kelly and other members
of the Oakland team, and it came in
handy. Score-San Francisco IL, OAK
land 2.
AS usual, 1t all happened in one inning.
That is the way Oakland is always get
ting beaten. Just as soon as Kelly made
dummy play by throwing to the plate
instead of tagging the runner at second,
and letting a bunch of runs through, the
whole team said goodnight and proceed
ed to Law down. The Seals hammered In
enough runs to hold them for a week.
The fourth tells the sad little tale.
Spencer opened with hit, but was faded
trying to steal. Waldron could not make
good, but Wheeler swung through, and
then little fun was on the menu. Irwin
bingled and so did Nealon. That meant
a run, and when the ball began to get
hit lively the Commuters went skyward.
Lohman winged to second and had Neal
ON a mile, but Kelly insisted on winging
the ball to the plate. even though two
had been chased. Hogan took the throw
and dropped 1t. That finished the Com
muters for the day.
When the game had been cinched Hank
took Whalen out of the box to save him
for this afternoon. Wheeler went into
action. Spencer took up the burden at
second and Williams trotted out to the
right garden That combination worked
quite as well as the former, for the COM
muters secured no more runs. while the
Seals made just as many as they wanted.
Oakland started off the game WELL
After two had been slowed away In the
first Dunleavy, streib. Kelly and Deve-
reaux chopped out good ones, scoring a
pair of tallies in jig time and giving the
Commuters lead which looked good.
Up to the time of the disaster young
Hogan pitched good enough ball to go in
any mans league. 1t was not his fault
that the crash came, though he did keep
the bali a little too much in the grove
when the Seals got their batting eyes
focused on the leather.
Old Peter Lohman was not quite as
good as he used to be behind the bat
one of his wild pegs let in two runs
pete tried to catch man off third IN the
f,fth and threw the ball out to left field.
TIE bases were filed at the time and the
result was heartrending. Old Van Hal
trsn tried to convince Davis of his
vronrdoing in the sixth and got chased
70 the bench for his trouble. The score:
