election of a Police Commission was mentioned only in "a motion, which was unanimously carried, that 1t be postponed to the next regular meet ing, and except for the ordinance re- garding the refunding bonds the only business transacted concerned the im- provement of the streets.
 The ordinance relating to refundipg taxes on solvent credits went over to next meeting.
 Ordinances authorizing the issuance of s3S, ,0Ao of paving bonds to pave the sidewalks on both sides of Bell Street. from Moulton Street to the city's lim- tts: S4,200 to pave sidewalk on the west side of Pleasant Avenue. from Jefferson Davis Avenue to Mildred Street; $2,200 to nave sidewalks on both sides of High Street, from Union to Decatur Strets, were adopted. Oth- CT ordinances authorized the appropri- ation Of necessary moneys for the inl- provement of sanitary sewer connec- tions.
 A resolution, offered by Mir. Sulli. van, that the Firemen's Benevolent As- sociation be permitted to give car nival without payment of the usual license, was adopted.

Installing Wireless System
 to Tell Bleachers of Game.

eficent management has done the best thing that they could do under the circumstances. An arrangement has been made so that the bleachers will be notified within a few moments as to whether batter or base runner is out. or whether the play of the iniield was messed up.
 As fan said yesterday. it would cer- tainly be unreasonable for the patrons of the bleachers to ask for or expect anything else.
 we were given to understand" he said that the bleaehers would be moved a reasonable distance nearer the plate or infield. They have been moved probably fifteen feet parallel with the fence and not one inch nearer the in- field. making us as bad off as we were at first"
 The installation of the Mareoni sys- tenn will probably stop the grumbling.
 Another big improvement that is be- ing considered is the putting in of com- fortable park benches on that famous eighth of a mile walk from the car line to the grandstand. These benches will be placed at intervals along the walk so that on a hot summer day lady or gentleman can break the journey by sit ting on one of these benches under the shade of sheltering umbrella.
 Of course the broiling sun may bring out the resin in the benches and make things sticky and disagreeable, but how can the management regulate that?
 And in the event there is rainstorm towards the end of the game, the man. agement has made arrangements to have a lot of taupaulins installed along the fence ,and during a rain they can protect the patrons of "the board walk from the dampness.
 Shelters will also be built at the car line to protect the waiting crowds from sun or rain. Of course there cannot be any confusion under this arrange ment.

TO SELL THE BONDS.
COUNCIL AUTHORIZES KOHN AND
 SON TO BE EMPLOYED.
Mayor Teague Empowered to Secure Local Firm for SI2,50O to Place s46s,OO0 of Refunding City
 Securities.

The City Council, in special meeting last night, adopted an ordinance thar the Mayor authorize F. M. Kohn and Son, of Montgomery, to place the S468,000 of municipal refunding bonds before April 1, and that to compensate them he be empowered to pay them the sum of $12,500. The ordinance had the recommendation of MT. Lobman, who is Chairman of the Finance Commit tee, of the Mayor and of the City Att torney, and when it was introduced by MT. Lobman, who spoke briefly in Ia vor of it, under a suspension of the rules it was adopted without dissen- sion.
 MT. Lobman's speech upon the bond issue, which was the only speech made during the entire session, was suc- cinct statement of the transactions of himself and his associates in handling the refunding bonds. The plan to have the bonds handled by Messrs. Kohn and Son, he said. was deemed by himself, the Mayor and the City Attor- ney, to be the most feasible. Upon in- terrogation Mir. Lobman said that the Finance Committee had not passed Judgment upon the proposed scheme. The ordinance was then put upon pas sage and adopted.
 The amount of the refunding bonds is s46s, ,o00, part of which was due on January 1, and the residue of which will be due on July 2, 1907. By an ar- rangement with the First National Bank of Montgomery the bonds have been taken care of for the city since January 1.
 Present at last nights meeting were President Gunter, Aldermen Jones. Ryan, Sullivan, Tait, Roemer, A. L.. Tyson, Foster, Strauss, Lobman and Ruth.
 The session was almost without sa- lient feature. The absence Of debate was notable. The hearing of the Ju- dietary Committees report upon the

Was Poured Into Tub By Mistakes And

The ignition of quantity of gaso- line in large metal tub in the rooms occupied by the Acme Pressing Club at 1-2 South Court street caused the entire fire department to be called hur- riedly to the heart of the city aI : o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 By the effective use of the chemical engine, the blaze was soon put out and the resultant damage was only the par tial destruction of a wooden partition in the rear of the establishment
 The gasoline was poured into the tub with a quantity of water by mis- take and when a negro passed near the tub with n burning charcoal fur mace in his hand, the explosive took fire.

base, Connors some at third and Nye some at short that puts an extra coat on the smile that is growing on the faces of Malarky and the local fans.
 Kid Busch and Wye take turns in digging them up at short, Perry play ing a swell second base and Connors and Biggers the other corners of the diamond.
 Both Maxwell and Burnum look lots better than they did at the close of last season. Both of them have too much flesh on, but the hard work that they are doing will soon take it off
 Brandt also looks too heavy but he says that his arm Is better TOW than it has been in several years and if that is the case. he is going to be one of the winning pitchers of. this league this year.
 Malarky is the same Smiling John." 1.-the. quick and progressively business like, with the snap and vim that should have, won so many more games than it did last summer
 others Win Not be Missed.
 Nothing has been heard yet from Sweenv or Evans and there is a bare possibility that neither of them will be here this year. Both of them are good men. but 1t Is not going to hurt the team if neither of them come. There is Perry on second and from the way he is playing that bag he will lead the Southern League this year, as he did on third last year.
 At short there Is already Busch and Nye-- Busch Is one of the most reliable infielders in the South, but he don't hit like Nye. who Is showing himself to be equally as fast man as Heine
 So it will be seen that neither of the men mentioned will hurt the team even if they don't show up.
 Building q Club House.
 The two mile run from the grounds fa Iaolr- CsfaOcy'a hotel is doing the men as much good as the hours of practice work at the park.
 Way out in the extreme left field a club house Is being built with a stove. several shower baths. etc. It will be a great improvement on the old method of having the dressing room under the grandstand. Then the smoke from the stove toward the end of a game would start an epidemic of sneezing.

THE LATEST VICTIM

High, was the only Japanese to step
off a car backwards yesterday. She
did the trick from a moving Punahou
car just as it was rounding the curve
at the corner of Fort and Beretania
avenue and was thrown heavily to the
ground and rendered unconscious For
tunately DR.. Moore was close at hand
at the time of the accident and took
the case in hand at once, hurrying the
woman off for treatment. She recoV-
cred from her swoon before the doc
tors office was reached, however, ana
declared that there was no pilikia.
Those who saw the accident feared
that the car had run over both the
wonan's feet and her escape IN this
respect was most narrow one.
