ALDERMEN IN DARK
LIGHTS ExTrNGUIsHTD DURING
 SESSION OF COUNCIL.
convened Only short Time when Pro- ceedings Are Terminated - Few
 Matters Receive Connidera-
 tion Before Adjournment.

There were dark doings by the Coun. cil last night. The aldermen had been in session only a short time and were busily engaged in the transaction of the City's affairs when the electric lights were extinguished resultantly from some defect of the illuminative apparatus, and after working for while the aldermen voted to adjourn until next Monday night.
 The aldermen had received and act ed fayorably upon a communication from Mayor Teague Accommodating that City Clerk John J. Farley be given a vacation of thirty. days that he might recover his strength after a siege of unprecedented hard work, 1t being un- derstood that Mfr. Farley will take the vacation about July 1: the Council had adopted several ordinances of local bearing and had received a few re- ports, when darkness came.
 Tn the meantime d great mass of matters for consideration and transac- ton had been heaped upon the clerks table. But it seemed impossible to work longer in a haze.
 Among the matters determined last night was the awarding of a contract for the paving of the sidewalks on both sides of South Hull Street from Jefferson Davis Avenue to Cramer Ave- nue. the amount involved being be- tween sS,0o0 ana $4.000. The side- walks to De paved lie between sections for which contracts had already been let.

 Besides reviewing the concerts re- gently given by the students of the conservatory. The Musical Courier says these pleasant things about MT. Ellen berg:
 Musical progress in the South Is a matter that has aroused widespread wonder in other sections of the coun- try. The enervating climate Is suppos- ed to kill commercial and artistic en- thusiasrn, but the statistics refute the supposition. It may be well for North erners and westefners to investigate what is being accomplished for the art of music south of Mason and Dixon's s line. Next to New Orleans, there is perhaps no city in the South more pro- gressive along artistic lines than Mont gofnery. Ala. At least one man In that city, Robert Braun Eilenbefg, has wrought great things for the advance ment of music. Outside of New Or leans.

Report that Pickett Springs Would Be
 Closed is Denied.
 The report. slowly but rather gen. orally current yesterday. that Pickett Springs Park would be closed. was de- hied by Manager W. H. RagIand of the Montgomery Traction Company. NF. Ragland said that not only the re- sort would not be closed. but that if any changes were made they would be for the enhancement of the attractions there.
 One rumor was so radical as to in- form the public that the Traction Com pany intended to remove its tracks from the right-of-way between Pickett Springs and the city. The one more generally given credence was merely to the effect that the refreshment and amusement booths at the Springs would be closed.
 Both reports were denied.
