chased by Contractor Lowrey for col
ored school house.
Councilman Scruggs favored pay
ment, and CounciImen Startling, May
or Yerger and Wilczinski favored al
lowing the courts to settle it, and the
city hold money until it was decided
Councilman Nelms thought that Mr.

The question Of the colored Kings
Daughters was set to be discussed
Thursday night before the committee
appointed by the Council
Mr. Lake brought up the question
of renting his building to Mr.. Isen-
berg for a saloon and argued at length
as to the wrong Of making him move
and allow Objectionable characters or
places to remain on the opposite side
Of the street
Councilman Wortham said that the
minds of the Council were made up
on this question and that the other
places would also be removed.
Mr.. Lake then replied that the only
thing he saw to do with his building
was to turn it into a church and to
keep it going the members OF the
Council would have to join.
He asked if the decision OF the
Council was final, and in reply Mr.
WiIczinski stated that it was agreed
that when they granted the last Ii
cense it was decided by the Council
that they would grant no more licens-
es for that side of the street in the
future.

fered to place pipes OF the City Hall
building for So 90, and the Council

BLACK RULED OUT.
Holiday moved the adoption Of the
resolution. Black had a resolution on
the same suhjec- which he wanted read
but President Hewlett ruled that the
council could not consider two different
resolutions on the same subject at the
same time.
Fernstrom suggested that the reso-
luton be laid over until Thursday, as
the company would have the deed nXc1
up satisfactorily by that time. Preece
then moved that the matter be referred
10 the municipal laws committee and
the city attorney with Instructions to

an amendment that the matter be re-
ferrod to the council as a committee Of

Fernstrom stated that the resolution

to be made a week ago, but II was not
done He said that as nothing was done
by the councilmen up to yesterday in
regard TO naming the judges he had the
Democratic committee name the Demo-
cratic judges and then sent the list
to the Republican committee for It to
name its Judges. I'VE are satisfied

New Experience for Greedy.

Gen. A. w. Greedy, chief of the army
signal service. has strung telegraph
wires in the wilderness, has fought
in many battles and has led an Ill
fated expedition to find the north pole,
but he is of the opinion, after think
ing over his long and active career,
that he never had any real trouble un-
til this winter. Two months ago one
of the ash inspectors told the general
the ash can in use at his house was
too small. Greedy bought new one.
Last week the ashes were not re-
moved and the general made com
plant to the department An inspec-
tor went up to investigate. He re-
turned and reported to the general: 81
am sorry. sir. but the reason your
ashes have not been taken away is
because your ash can is too large"
What Gen. Greedy said to the inspec-
tor would be best expressed in the
dashes his telegraphers use.
