 An ordinance reported favorably from the sidewalk and baby bonds commit tee was adopted calling for the pave ment Of the sidewalks on both sides of Caroline Street with Schiliinger blocks.
 Debate on Contracts.
 The report of the Committee on Side walk Paving and Baby Bonds on the awarding of contracts for the paving of numerous sidewalks caused probably the most acrimonious debate of the evening. The report awarded major ity of the contracts to the Byron Sou ders Company, the Atlanta firm which has been getting practically all of the city business lately. although Hodgson & Hannon, the local contractors got the work in several streets.
 Alderman Foster thought that some time the limit ought to be placed on the contract.
 Alderman Roemer, Chairman of the Committee On Sidewalk Paving and Baby Bonds. agreed to this. He said that the work could easily be completed by September 1, and he moved that this time limit be set and that a penalty be enforced if the contract was not completed by that time.
 President Gunter called Alderman Cox to the chair, and moved to amend so that the firms be charged cents per square foot for all work not completed on September 1.
 To this Alderman Roemer objected. He said that right now the Byron-Sou- ders Company has much uncompleted work on hand and it would be unfair to charge them if this work was not com pleted on September 1, as no stipulation of that kind had been made in their nt1fr nt EJn hoE he nff ff1r was under obligations to the Byron Souders Company; that previous to the time they had entered the bidding the city was having the work done at an advance of 15 or 20 per cent. of the present price and that the city had been saved $25,O00 or s30,0OO by the com pany.
 He declared that there was a we'll directed effort to run this company out of the bidding and said that powerful influences had been at work to this end in the lobby.
 This amendment caused protest from Aldermen Foster and Sullivan,
 Alderman Roemer then moved that the penalty be reduced to 3 cents per square foot but this amendment was lost. The original amendment was carried.

J. Kirk man Jackson, private secretary to Gov ernor Jelks and former Alderman at 1 large, and M. H. Hudson, a former AL derman and well-known business man Alderman Sullivan thought it would | be improper to elect a successor at the | first meeting after the death of the | Alderman, and he moved that It be postponed until the next regular meet | ing.
 Other Aldermen agreed with him, but l Alderman Foster finally moved to amend so that the election should take place at a special meeting to he held | tonight.
 Alderman A. L. Tyson, who seemed to have been heading the Hudson faction. moved to table this amendment. The motion was defeated by the fol- lowing vote:
 Ayes-Goins. Grihhth, Holloway, Roe mer Ruth, Tyson, A. L., Tyson. J. CT. Nays-Gunter, Cox, Foster, Jones, Lobman, Ryan, Strauss, SulliVan-6.

against members of the Cousa faction and friends of Yeumis.- Justice eAb- ernathy will determine the guilt or if1- nocence of the Youmis faction, the Cousas swearing out warrants in that court, while the Cousa tribe will be given a preliminary hearing before Justice Martin.
 From what could be learned an art icle was recently published in a Syrian paper, printed in New York about a member of the Youmis faction. They did not like it and 1t seems they placed the responsibility for the article at Charles Cousa's door. At any rate, it is said that when Cousa visited the house of a friend last Friday night about s o'clock. seven men secreted themselves under the house and waited for the exit When he took his leave, it Is said. a general fight followed. Cousa and Youmis were hurt, and the others escaped unhurt. Next day. however, the whole thing was made public by the swearing out of many warrants.
