 It was decided to let the devil take that hs niheH the last mi man a of the the three three left round Alderman Cox who protested the assce Council i % was dropped % 't in the tenth and MT. Benjamin was left out after the fifteenth resulting the committee of the whSie dsciding by one vote s,dn in in the final scene.
 The secret ballot was taken as an excuse for. voting for almost any per successful candidate, to the Advertiser representative having ardent support CTS who had the advantage of blush ing unseen, Those without the pale votes during the fifteen secret ballots were Aldermen Ruth. A. L. Tyson, Hud- son. Jones, Strauss and Sullivan Clerk Farley and the Admertiser man.
 At 10 o'clock. Alderman Strauss. who had been called to the chair, rapped long and loud for order and reminded the Council that it had better be good or 1t would make itself ridiculous and would be made fun of in the newspa- pers. He reminded the city fathers that they were a dignified body and should transact business in more se- date way. After this announcement the spirit of the cap and bells got an even tighter grip on the statesmen and several new names appeared in the tellers' hats. On one or two ballots some of the aldermen voted in both hats and the result was about twenty. votes when only fifteen aldermen were present. Those ballots were solemnly declared null and void.
 After the committee of the whole had decided on Mir. Jackson, it arose and reported to the Council In open session what action had been taken by the committee and this was unanimously concurrad in.

SENATOR PULLMAN WILL INSIST
 UPON ACTION.
Conference Report om Railroad Rate BiIi Is Considered and Much 0b- jectiOu Is Had to Anfi-Pass
 Provision.

Washington, June 6.--When the con- was taken up today. tod s the sh antilpass con- - ference received the attention of Sem ator Spooner. In the main he endorsed the prohibition of passes but he con- tended that there. should be exceptions, including railroad employees. Congress had no right, he said, to step between employer and employe
 the railroads should carry their em- not.
 There is no sense in the provision should be allowed to perform the acts tic"
 Senator Knox suggested that the law of 1895 is inadequate. Thereupon MT Tillman asked why the senator had broken out in new place and had run amuck on the pass question" but MT: in that pastime," he could not reply.
 Senator Cullom. one of the Senate conferees, said he had not advocated the stringent provision reported and ent law MT. Spooner also spoke on the importance of including the members of the railroad r. M. c. A. as persons entitled to passes and MT. Tillman sug- gested that 1t was necessary to draw the line somewhere. He would have the exceptions limited to railroad em- ployes and their families and Senator Hale presented the same View. 5
 Senator Lodge criticized on other grounds the action of the conference committee in emitting the words will fully and knowingly" from the penal clauses of the bill. saying that to leave the words out would work great in- justice to railroad officials through in advertence, carelessness or malice on the part of others
 Senator Bailey found fault with the omission of sleeping car companies from the bill, saying that the sleeping car company is the only absolute mon opoly in the country Mir. Morgan con tended that under the proposed law the railroads would give passes from one State to another.
 According to that reasoning sug gested Mir. Tillman, Congress is pow erless to suppress the abuse"
 Tt Is not an abuse, retorted the Ala bama Senator, who added that Congress has TO more right to deny to a street ear company the right to entertain guest than to say the same thing to a hotel proprietor.
 Senator Tillman gave notice that he would insist upon the conside ation of the conference report tomorrow to the exclusion of all other business and that he would make an effort to get vote before, adjournment tomorrow.
 Senator Hale presented u resolution instructing the conference that 1t Is the sense of the Senate that railroad passes should be confined to actual employees of the railroads. but 1t had not been acted upon when the Senate adjourned 0t 6.25 n

 The work of tearing down the interior or the Dothan National Banks building at the corner of Main and Foster Streets. where preparations are being made for costly reno vation has almost been completed. and ae- tual work on the improvements VIII be De gun within the next day or two.
 The Houston National Bank. the youngest of Dothan's five financial institutions pub fishes a statement showing it's rapid growth since its organization. and the statement speaks well for the banks popularity.
 Jesse Hughes, a well known and prosper ous farmer living near Dothan. is dead at his home after an illness lasting but a few days wife and several children survive Mir Hughes.
 There will. in all probability, be no picnic of the three Dothan Sunday Schools this year The weather interfered on the date which had originally been selected. and an indefinite postponement followed. Now it seems that the event will not be held until this time next year. and there Is consequent disappointment in the hearts of the children of Dothan.
