SALOON L.
CENSE $1,000
CITY COUNCIL EARNS SALARY
MANY TIMES oVER-IS AT
PRESENT $3.50.
Change Takes Effect January I, and
Some Doors Will Close.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen
earned their salaries Tuesday after
noon many times over, and there is
Consideration among a number OF sa-
loon keepers of Columbia, for on JAN
Iuary LIST every man who proposes to
sell whiskey in Columbia must pay
cash down $1,000 for his city license,
instead of $3.50 as heretofore.
The increase in the license fee came
as surprise except to a chosen few.
The Revenue ordinace, which had
been passed without change from last
year, on it's first two readings was up
for passage. A special meeting of the
Board had been called to pass this law
that it might go into effect August 1.
When the ordinance had been read
Alderman fowler arose and moved its
amendment by changing the annual
license on saloons from $3.50 per year
to $1,000. The amendment seemed
to meet the approval of nearly every
one present and there was little or
no debate, the amendment carrying
by a vote of Z to l, Alderman Sellars
being the only man to vote against it..
There was a provision in the amend
ment making is effective January J.,
and no saloon keeper will be allowed
to evade the law by paying\the pres
ent rate beyond that time. Mayor
Guest signed the ordinance and it is
now the law
There are at present fifteen saloons
in Columbia paying an annual city
license of $3.50. 1t is estimated that
possibly five saloons will be forced to
quit business on January l as the re-
suit of the high license, and that the
town will be that much better off by
these five closing. In addition the
ten which remain in business will
pay $4,000 a year, or an increase to
the city revenue of $6,250 over the
present receipts. This will be quite
an item. Then there is a movement
on foot in the Board to pass other re-
strictive legislation relating to sa-
looms and see that the laws are enforc-
ed, thus doing away with some of the
Objectionable features of the business.
1t is said that some of the larger
dealers favor the increase, but that
it is decidedly distasteful to some of
the smaller dealers.

LADIES NODDED
And Each Nod Meant $1,000 More
A Record Auction Sale.

LONDON, July 29.-The record sum
realized in one day at any of the re-
markable auction sales in London this
season was $1,755,OOO, which was OBJ
tanned for a collection of beautiful
jewelry belonging to Lady A. Mont
gomery and others. 1t took exactly
four hours to establish this record.
When a magnificent necklace of AZ
matchless Oriental pearls was put up,
two ladies' stood in the background
and nodded at intervals to a dealer
who was bidding for them. Each nod
sent up the price a thousand dollars,
but ultimately the necklace was
knocked down to rival bidder for
$25O,0OO There were about 20 other
beautiful pearl necklaces sold.

100000 San Francisco Losses.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.-The

Hamburg, Germany, has refused to
pay San Francisco fire insurance less
ess approximating $4,O00,00O The
following statement was given out
last night by the local officials of the

ground that the losses arose from an
overwhelming catastrophe, due to a

LOYALISTS ANGRY
DON'T LIKE WAY FAYETTEVILLE
BILL is KEPT DARK.
Counsel Meet at Jackson, and Hon.
Joseph Russell Gives Out
an Interview.

JACKSON, Tenn, July 31.-The
loyalists of the Cumberland Presby-
terrain denomination are much wrought
up over the injunction against them
at Fayetteville, Tenn, restraining
them from using the name Cumber-
land Presbyterian or church property.
Eminent counsel from two States met
here today to see what answer should
be prepared
Chairman Russell, in the course of
an interview tonight, said: THE
fragrant wrongs of injunction have
been intensified by the suppression
of the bill on which the fiat was grant
ed. The unionists filed this unjusti-
fable bill against the loyalists more
than ten days ago, seeking thereby,
in a general way, to close the church
houses and the mouths of the loyalists
from one end of 5he country to the 9th
er. This bill was filed at Fayetteville,
Tenn, and from there proper writs,
and copies of the bill should have
been promptly issued and served, so
THAT the defendants and their counsel
might know what was in fact alleged
against them, and what they were in
fact prohibited from doing, but after
ten days have elapsed no single de-
lfendant and no counsel of any defen-
dant has been permitted to see the
original bill or been furnished an
authenticated copy thereof through
counsel, for some of the defendants
have repeatedly asked both the Clerk
of the court and the counsel of the
unionists for the poor privilege of see
ing the original bill or being furnished
copy as the law requires.
1.-The counsel for the unionists and
the Clerk have offered no other rea-
son or excuse for this unparalleled
course except desire on the part OF
the counsel to change the bill since
the fiat was granted by putting in the
names of other defendants. Writs OF
injunction have been served on num-
erous persons in several counties,
but in no instance has copy been
furnished so that the defendant might
know what was alleged against him,
and prepare his defense thereto. The
defendants who have been servd with
defendants who have been served with
the injunction do not feelthat tits fair to
withhold from them copies of the bill
until the unionists may exhaust the
long list of loyalists in this State and
elsewhere by adding name after name
as defendants to the bill. A holder
scheme of persecution cannot be
found in the annals of church his
tory"

cally all the old leaders going into the
union. experienced in managing de-
Inominational interests, can new lead
ers. though unusually strong do so
well for a long time? AS public sentl-
ment is now so strongly against null
tiplying denominations and for COM
bining them, will the separate churcn
stand we'll before the unsaved world
and other churches? And as the
ground is now so we'll covered by pow
erful and active denominations, where
can the separate church hope to make
Roadway? There is no promise OF re-
suits. So this test Of what is right is
against disunion. The other two are,
also. The Decatur decision is so rea-
sonable, so backed by other decisions
and so likely to be confirmed by all
the higher courts, that it is practi-
cally final. The outside public has but
one voice, so widely speaking through
press, conventions, and local indiv1-
duals. and that is joyously for union.
"Are we willing to do right? Are
not these tests safe? What must we
lido? There is no undoing what has
been done for union? If a mistake
was made in springing it too SOM, had
we not better forgive? When we say:
Too soon,' we say we favor it some
time. Should just having our time
outweigh so many considerations?
Come. get under this benediction;
BLESSED are the peace makers, for
they shall be called the children of
God That is better than being call

GEORGE STURGISS
ON THE STAND IN
FULMER CASE

Parkersburg, W. Va, Jan. 25-
George c. Sturgiss, Of Morgantown.
once the president and virtually the
owner Of the Morgantown and King
wood railroad, was again the occu-
pant of the center of the stage seat
in the Fulmer Coal Company case in
United States court yesterday.
Mr. Sturgiss was originally the
plaintiffs witness but he was also
summoned BY the defense and it was
in behalf Of the defense that he tes-
tilted yesterday. His testimony in
behalf Of the defense was begun, but
not completed.
II bore on the contract. or alleged
contract or more particularly the al
legged traffic arrangement existing be-
tween the B. & o. railroad company
and the NJ. q x. railroad. The plain
tiff company holds that such an
agreement exists, and this it has held
would make the NJ. & w. a carrier
Of interstate commerce, which is a
condition necessary 10 the success of
its suit.
The defence placed Mr.. Strgiss
on the stand to testify to the .act
that no such contract or agreement
has existed. lie testified but he was
not asked, whether or not there was
a virtual agreement, which would
induce the B. & 0. to handle the
traffic coming over the NJ. & H.,
without any hitch.
The defense today will hy cross
examination draw from Mr.. Sturgi3s
Just what this agreement is and
whether the cars ''blew in" or came
down from the skies, or whether or
not there was any understanding.
The defense maintains that if there
was any understanding whatever, it
will be properly characterized as a
working arrangement and that this
will make the NJ. & X. a carrier Of
interstate commerce.
II is not unlikely that the defense
will finish most Of its testimony t.
day if the session is uninterrupted.
Then the plaintiff company will 3ircr
some testimony in rebuttal. It is
not likely that the trial of the CASE,
so far a. the taking of evidence i
concerned, viii be finished before
Saturday.

MILLER TAKES
HIS OWN LIFE

Wheeling, W. Va, Jan. 20
Frank W. Miller, who came here re-
Gently from aPrkcrsburg. and whose
wife and child are still there, killed
himself last night at his room on
EoiT street.
Miller came to Wheeling the sixth
of January and bought pop c,m
and peanut wagon from Roy Ray,
giving him 81 900 cash and note
for $3.50 for it. Miller had been
wanting to get into business and
thought this a good opportunity. but
he did not understand the mcchan-
ism Of the wagon nor did he seem
able to grasp the idea. Ray made
several attempts to show Miller how
to operate it, but he could not catch
the idea and worried great GeaI
about his investment.
He was not at his usual place Of
business at all yesterday and worried
over his trouble until be became
frenzicd. Early last evening lie
went to the home Of Ray. on Wheel
ing Island, and entered the house
without knocking. He carried a re-
yolyer and it was his intention TO
kill Ray. But his courage failed
and he tried to get Ray to buy the
wagon back. Ray said that he had
already spent part Of the money and
did not want the wagon any way,
but would explain it to him again.
Miller left and went straight to-his
room.
At $50 o'clock shot wa- heard
and il was soon found that Miller
had killed himself. The ball enter
ed the right temple, passed through
the brain and came ont the left tenn
pie.
Miller left letter addressed TO
the Public" In it he told that lie
had been gold bricked and had made
i bad bargain in getting the Wagon.
lie said that he went to RAYS home
with thci Intention Of killing him,
but that lie cooled off while in Rays
house and left without killing Tim.
