Butchers VIII Protest.

When the city council meets next Monday night 1t is very probable that the butchers of the city market will file a strong complaint. growing out of the meat and milk inspection ordi- nance which went into effect Septem- Der 1.
 The butchers are united upon what they term the injustice of the cost of the inspection of meats. The price of inspection, they say. is unreasona- ble and which they can not afford to pay. They will petition the coun- ell to revise the meat inspection scale. This matter has been discussed by the butchers ever since the law went into effect. The question of petitioning the council came to a head today.
 The law requires that the inspection fees shall be paid in advance. On the first of the month when pr. Con- nor. the meat and milk inspector, took charge of his office he had no receipts to issue if the fees were paid. He was unable to secure the blanks until today and in the mean time has been charging the fees against the different butchers. To- day pr. Connor secured his receipts and went around to collect the fees. From some of the butchers there came a most emphatic protest about the charges All the bills were finally paid, however, and very probably the matter will rest until the city council meets next Monday night.

n,AIemherte,s Answer.

Alderman A. H. d'Alemberto of pre- cinct 12 against who euo-waranto pro- | ceedlngs were besought last week by residents in that precinct, today filed
 his answer to the charge in the cir cult court.
 It was the allegation that d'Alem- berte was not resident of the pre- cinct or qualified voter. when he was elected to the position and that though over 9 year has passed, he still resides in another precinct. He was cited by the court to show cause why he should not be removed and today in his answer denied all of the allegations stating that he was both a resident and qualified voter of the precinct when elected and that his residence in another precinect is only temporary. Furthermore, that he is preparing to build in the precinct which he represents.
 Judge Carter who presides over this circuit is expected here tomorrow and this Is one of the cases which he will decide during his visit Much inter- est has been aroused by the proceed ings besought against the alderman who is one of the most prominent in the council.

Engineer Hatton Employed.

The City Council last night con- tracted with Consulting Engineer T. Chalkly Hatton to have supervision oi the paving work which is shortly to be- gin in Pensacola, and on which several
 hundred thousands of dollars will be spent. Mir. Hatton proposed to the
 Council some weeks since to supervise
 this work at 3 per cent. of It's cost,
 but Mayor Bliss opposed the matter, stating that the engineering services for improvement work had already reached a large amount and to add to this per cent of the paving work would make the sum fabulous. In his opinion a competent engineer can be secured for $3,000 or S4,000 per year to do the work for which Pensacola Is paying many thousands. Last night Mir. Hatton addressed a letter to the Council in which he stated that he was not particularly anxious to supervise this work, but inasmuch as he al- ready had the contract to. supervise the sewerage work he thought 1t would be to the advantage of the city to em- p1oy him. The Council after discuss ing the matter, decided to accept his offer.

before large congregation, advocat-
ed the building by the municipality
of Y. M. c. A. at a cost of $780,
600, and a similar institute at the
same cost for the young women of
the city. ~.-.
He again took occasion to de-
nounce many of the popular places
Of amusement in this city. "If the
skating ring, vaudeville, public
dances, pool rooms and card parties
are beneficial, they are all right but
if they are detrimental, then they
should be eliminated" said the
speaker. He then plainly stated that
he thought that they should all be
eliminated. He said that all places
of amusement should be under the
control Of either the state, church or
family. He advocated more play
grounds for school children.

THE DEAD BODIES ARE FOUND.
Two of the Students Sufocated
While They Slept-Another
Student May Die.

Fire which broke out early Satur-
day morning in Minor Hall at Ken
yon Military Academy, Gambler,
Ohio, totally destroyed that building
and caused the death Of three stu
dents, James J. Fuller Of Warren,
Winfield Kunkle of Ashtabula and }.
Everett Henderson of Chicago and
serious injury to other students, one
of whom may also die.
Warren Clements, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. B. Clements of North Thir-
teenth street, attends kenyon Col
lece, which although not affected by
the fire, is at Gambler and Mr.. Glenn
ents witnessed the fire and the horrl-
BILE spectacle that followed. In talk
ing over the long distance telephone
last night, he gave graphic account
of the fire to the Palladium:
A story written from Mr.. Glenn
ents' message follows:
The bodies of the three students
who were burned to death were found
Yesterday afternoon. The bodies OF
Henderson and Fuller, who were
roommates, were found in their DOM
at two clock. The body of Kunkle
was found an hour later at the end
of the long hall on which his room
was located. Hs
1t is thought that Henderson and
Fuller were suffocated by the smoke
while they slept. Kunkle, it is
thought, tried to escape but was over
come before he could get out. Some
of the students say that they saw
Fuller at his window, trying to get
out.
S. w. Nicholson, who was badly
burned while sliding down water
pipe on the outside of the building,
was so badly burned that it Is
thought that he cannot live.
The bodies of the three dead stu
dents have been taken in charge by
their parents and they will be taken
to their homes after short funeral
services are held by the college this
morning.
The financial loss from the fire will
total $4,000. School will be contin-
