A Young CoIored Woman on Trial for
Murder.

Gertrude Jordan, a colored woman
reputed to be only sixteen years old
was on trial before Judge Bullock
Tuesday, charged with having muir
dered Albert NIXON, a young colored
man in Ocala some time in June last

Leitner, w. P. Williamson, Geo. B.
Tyler, G.. D. Hogan, H. c. Davis, John
Knoblock, S. L. Redding, A. II. Moo
dy and A. w. Braley.
The state was ably represented by
State Attorney Davis, who made a
very grave arraignment Of the prison
er, arguing that there were no pail
iation for the crime and no extenuat-
ing circumstances.
Mr.. Raymond Bullock represented
the defense and did so in his usual
earnest and vigorous manner. He
held that there was no evidence
against the young woman except neg

the city carts.
Motion to have full report Of pro-
ceedings published carried.
Motion made and carried that a
committee be appointed to see Mr..
Woodrow and others who have the
management of the library. to find out
whether or not anything could be
done by the society in the way OF
securing the library and reducing the
subscription from five dollars a year
to one dollar, which would give the
general public an opportunity to be-
come members of the Library Asso-
citation and to have the benefit of
the books and magazines. The society
had been informed that the library
was not paying expenses and was in
debt for a considerable sum and was
requested to take the matter up.

mittee.
Mrs. Bittinger made motion that

wro left for home Wednesday.
Miss Adams came down to be Miss
Mary Anderson's maid-of-honor at her
wedding to Mr.. NJ. ]. Roess on the
twenty-eighth of last month. She is
a very vivacious and lovely young wo-
man and has many friends and adj
mirers in this city.

pathy of the council we might as well
disband. That we had built a walk
to the new cemetery, and had con.
tracted for trees to be planted along
the same this month; that seats had
been promised which would be placed
in position as soon as they were fin
clean the city and were asked to de-
sist; that we had placed barrels, as
many as we could secure, around to
receive the trash and paper which
was thrown out on the streets and
scattered everywhere. Being handi-
capned we were powerless to do any
thing further without their assis-
lance.
Mr.. Owen arose and stated that he
thought the society should have the
cooperation of the council.
Mr.. Weathers said that he was
greatly annoyed by the COWS with
bells that roamed at large at night
and disturbed his slumbers. He was
informed that even in a small town
like Leesburg the stock law was en-
forced. and that the citizens of that
pla = could sleep serenely.
Mr.. Biggs, city attorney, said that
the laws of the city of Ocala were
g. tficient and that there ought not to
be any trouble to have them enforced.
Mr.. Gates stated that our mayor
was not in sympathy with the society.
Mr.. Robertson said that he under
stood that there was an understand
ing between ethe mayor and the mar,

DR.. Chace stated that it was not
GENERALLY known that the city was put
to considerable expense to enforce
this law, and that there was not sui.

Mrs Groves. member of the com
uittea stated to the council that she
would like to get behind that street
committee for one day. In her neigh
borhood. and all over the city for that
matter, limbs of trees and filth were
left on the streets for days to decay
and endanger the health of the

s e y buildings and that it was up to
the council to have it done
The ladies requested the use OF
the carts one day in each month.
Mr.. Weathers asked for a motion to
that effect giving power to act.
DR.. Chace objected and wanted the
matter referred to the street commit
tee.
Mr. Weathers withdrew his motion
which placed the matter back in the
hands of the council.
DR.. Chace was asked by the ladies'
If nc objected to the c. |. Society and
its purposes. His reply was inaudable
to the ladies.
They then withdrew from the coun-
Gil chamber.
Mrs. Bittinger's report was accept
ed and a discussion followed. 1t
was the voice of the society that if
the laws Of the city are not suf-
ficient to meet the wants of the cit
liens, that it is the duty of the coun-
Gil to repeal the present laws and
make new ones. The officials are the
servants of the people and it is their
duty to have the laws enforced; and

the agitation of this matter would
bring down the censure or disapproval
of the people in general! it was the

Mrs. Maughs stated that she had
interviewed the agent at the A. c. l..
depot about the trash and paper
which is scattered broadcast over the
streets and that he said the railway
company did not furnish a porter to
keep the depot and surroundings
clean. She ought to see Mr.. Charles
Rheinauer and get him to have re-
ceptacIes placed there to receive the
trash and lunch papers which are
thrown out every day. The chair re-
Quested her to go to Mr.. Rheinauer
and have the matter attended to. The
barrels were placed around the city

Mrs. Hooker was instructed to draw
up a petition in the proper form and
present it to the county commission
ers at their next meeting to have the
trees along Lovers Lane and other
drivewayS which are almost ruined
by excavations properly protected.
Mrs. Bittinger, chairman of the
committee to appear before the
council, made the following report:
Madam President and Ladies of the
c. /. Society:
The committee of ladies, Mesdames
Smith, Austin, Munroe, Weihe, Groves,
Strunk and MacKay, of whom l was
appointed chairman, assembled with
the exception of Mrs. Smith and Mrs.
Strunk. The former was represented
by Mrs. Maughs, and marched in a
body to the council chamber, escort
ed by Mr.. G. l.. Bittinger and Mr.. H.
c. Groves. The last named gentle
man introduced the ladies to the
council.
AS chairman of the committee
stated that we did not want the coun-
Gil to be frightened by our appear
ance, that we came as representa-
tives of the City Improvement Society
and to request their cooperation in
having the stock law enforced, the
streets cleaned, all unsightly build
il gs and other nuisances removed,

and happiness of the citizens, but if
