oue.tion os salaries.


 At the regular monthly session of the General Council held November IS, Al- dernan Norville introduced resolu- tion for an investigation of the refusal of Mayor Lyon to sign the check of a city official, the Council at previous regular session having awarded the increase.
 The official was the assistant to City Clerk Danner. The resolution was adopted. It has been charged since the adoption of the resolution that Mayor Lyons Secretary's salary has been increased. thereby showing dis crimination. Much discussion has arisen relative to the alleged refusal of the Mayor to sign the check for increase of one employe and signing of that of an- other. Mayor Lyons was seen today and asked relative to the matter at is- sue, 4s
 The Mayor said the salary Of the as sistant to the City Clerk had been in- creased during his absence and that had he been here he would have vetoed it. The increase in question made the cost of maintaining the City Clerks of fee $3,000 per year, entirely out of proportion with the amount of work done in that office and the compensa- tion allowed other departments of the city government.
 Further, that this office could be abolished entlreiy WtInout any lnJuFy to the service or hardship to anyone except the present incumbent He had during the previous administration in- creased the salary of his Secretary from $50 to $40 per month to compen- sate him in a reasonable way for the services rendered, and said salary had been placed on the regular pay rolls and passed to payment monthly by the General Council without any objection on the part of that body. and was therefore confirmed by it.
 This official had been carried for years on the police pay roll with the idea, 1t would seem, and 1t had been so stated of placing his salary at the same amount as allowed police officers.
 With this idea In view and consider ing the increased services demanded from this official owing to the execu- tive office being kept open practically all day and the greater amount of work arising from the growth of the city, etc. it was considered that $60 per month was only a reasonable allow ance, especially when it is remembered that the salary of this official in other cities of the State is much greater and the further fact that under previous

Six months for killing a man was the penalty imposed in the Criminal Court today upon man named Jim Forest. alias Candy Jim,' who stabbed negro known as Buster" Young In saloon in the western section of the city some two years since There were circumstances, however. that caused such a light penalty to be imposed. 1,
 Forest fled after killing the negro and was caught in Alabama and given a term of six months in the coal mines for train riding. When his time eX- pired he was turned. over to the local authorities, and at the preliminary hearing was held upon the charge of manslaughter
 Today he pleaded guilty to this charge after remaining in Jail for ten months, and the court in passing sent ence took these matters into consid- eratlon, and also the fact that the kill ing was evidently partly in self-defense, as the man killed bore an unsavory reputation.

 The bill provides for four dispen- saries--one each at Tuscumbia, Shef- feld. Cherokee and Leighton, the prohts 10 be divided among the cities and county, 50 and 40 per centa respect ively.
 The bill Is framed pretty much as that adopted in Tuscaloosa County which Is said to be one of the best conducted in the State.
 Notwithstanding the preparation oi Representative Carmichaers bill. there are a great many people in Tuscumbin and Sheffield who do not believe that dlspensnries will ever be established in Colbert County Sheffield is so vir- ulently and notoriously opposed to the dispensary that it is commonly talked that Sheffield will not submit to,a dis- pensary and that if Sheffield will not have 1t the other three places will also oppose it.

 Mobile this morning has close call from one of the most serious fires in recent years, and one which. but for timely discovery. might have put 2 magnificent ocean steamship entirely out of commission, besides the complete or partial destruction of great quan- tity of cotton. and perhaps. the loss or lives.
 For several days the Elder Depstcr SteamSiiip Companys British steamship Horinsea has been lying at the foot of Dauphin street, at the Mobile and Ohio Railroad cotton wharf. loading T cargo of cotton for Bremen. At the time of eeasing work last night. 5000 bales had been stored in the hold of the vessel Great quantities of the staple were be- meath the shed on the wharf awaiting storage in the steamship.
 At the usual hour this morning, the crews of cotton andlers prepared to re- sume work. When the gang working in number 2 hold opened the hatches, the smell of burning cotton reached the well-trained nostriIs of the handlers. Soon smoke began pouring from the hold where hundreds of bales of com pressed cotton had been tightly jam med
 The alarm was promptly given and the ships crew at once got busy and had line of hose from the ship'y "don- key" laid and the donkey at work. Water in great volumes was poured into the hold until the smoke ceased to exude. Then the work og removing cotton from inc hold began. While only four bales were found to have aeen badly burned. 800 others were also re- moved as a safc guard
 Where the fire originated was not ascertained. but 1t is thought by ex- perts that one of the bales must nave been on fire when loaded into the hold, and, finally made it's presence felt Timely discovery by the cotton hand IeFs and promns work on the part of the crew, saved great loss hy fire
 The vessel was not in the least dam- aged, but the cost of unloading and re- loading -he cotton. together with the necessary delay in loading the full cargo of the steamship, will foot up a very considerable sum.

 Will the flag of truce. now flying. result in an amicable adjustment be- tween the opposing factionsg, was the question along the river front among those interested in river steamboat traffic this morning.
 The white fiag was hung out yester- day afternoon immediately after the declaration of Captain Norman Staples to operate his two boats. the Mary S. Blees and the Mary l.. Staples. on the Aiabam and Tombigboe Rivers. respee- lively.
 This morning Mir. Winston Jones', representing the Qutll-M Moore Jones in terests. and Captain Staples, the inde- pendent. held a long conference. The latter maintained the other parties to the eariyyear contract had broken the faith and until they showed a willing and proper spirit in the matter he would hold ou for what he maintained to be his just rights. He brought up the question of the steamer City of Mobile entering the trade and also q division of the proceeds of the Ala barna River business.
 Tn the meantime the Mary F Staples. due to leave last night, for Demopofis, had taken on an immense freight. The City of Mobile was also prepared to leave. but with much smaller cargo. Both vessels were held over pending the conference.
 It was understood that in event an adjustment was reached. the City of Mobile should be withdrawn and the Staples take her freight and pull out
 At 12:15 o'clock this afternoon the two factions got together and adjust ment was reached whereby the origi- nal contract would be lived mp to and the City of Mobile was at once with drawn from the trade. Her cargo was transferred to the Mary E. Staples and. with flags bying. the lines were cast off and up the river she steamed as soon as the transfer of cargo was completed.

A RECORD MONTH
PENSACOLA COTTON EXPORT BUs-
 MESS ON BOOM.
PaueIfy of Mem Skilled in Loading staple May Interfere With PrO- gress But L2bOr is Kse~
 lmg Provided.

Pensacola, Fla, Nov. Especial. l-- December promises to be the record breaking month for cotton exports in the history of the port, provided noth- ing occurs to retard or interfere with the contemplated shipments.
 Aleady both of the. immense ware houses of the Louisville and Nashville are packed with the ieecy staple, and each day brings big shipments to the port Two big cargoes are now load ing, the Lord Stanmore taking on about 1000 bales and the Cayo Largo almost an equal amount with other steamers due to arrive during the next ten days.
 The scarcity of skilled men to store cotton has retarded the work to some extent, but the cotton serewmen are now being assisted by large number of baymen who are accustomed to hard work and are strong and able men who can stand the class of work that Is nee- essary to load the cotton m ships
 Arrangements have also been made whereby cotton screwmen from sa- vannah can be secured if the present forces are not able to handle the bus mess when the biggest rush comes. but as the men receive S4 per day for this class oe work it is probable that the help of outsiders will not be necessary, The movement of cotton from Pensa- cola during this month has been very heavy, but it Is anticipated that the exports of the staple during December will double those of this month.
