circles as to just when the term OF
Prison Commissioner Eason ensd.
His siX-year term will be up Oct.
%, 1908, but it is also provided that
he shall hold until his successor is
elected and qualified. Capt Wiley

succeed him in Wednesdays election.
The dispute is as to whether he
can qualify before the Governor, fol-
lowing the consolidation of the vote

wait until next summer and qualify
before the General Assembly
Each side of the contention has
SUPP tiers and it looks as if an

TO BEGIN ST. RAILWAY
OCT. 20 UNDER PENALTY
Council Agrees to Accept
$4,000 Bond.

All the kinks in the building of the
street railway were happily straight
ened out last night at the meeting of
the City Council Three papers were
drawn up and presented, covering ev-
cry phase of the undertaking, a con-
tract, resolution and a bond.
The only question raised was as to
the definition of what constituted a
beginning of the street railway. This
point was raised by President Walker.

pany, so that his company could know

order the machinery and get the polls
ON the ground would fully meet the
requirements of the case, and all of
this Pres. Walker agreed to have
done by Oct. 20, as provided in the
contract submitted
Aldermen Childers, following the
meeting on Wednesday night, had con-
ferred with City Attorney Maynard
regarding the proper contracts to be
drawn up, and as soon as the City
Council convened last night these doc
uments were ready by Clerk Hawkes..
Ihree Papers Submitted.
One was a form of a surety bond
under which the Americus Railway &
Light Company, as principal, with
bonding company to be selected lat
er, bound themselves to the city of
Americus in the sum of SIS, 900, to be-
gin work on the construction of the
street railway on Oct. 20, and contin-
ue the work until its completion not
later than AApril Is, 1909, the penalty
for delay either in beginning or
finishing the work being 500 for ev-
cry day. Another paper was the con-
tract to be entered into between the
Mayor and City Council and the COM
pany, under which the work was to
be begun and completed as heretofore
state, including the street railway the
gas and electric light and power fea-
lures. The third was the resolution
of the City Council.
After the various papers had been
read, Alderman Furlow moved their
adoption. Aldermen Allen objected,
reviewing the recent history of the
City Council in dealing with the mat
ter He declared that things had
turned out just as he had prophesied,
and that the company was getting
away from the demand that $4,000 be
der aited. Without attempting to pass
cne merits of the bonds, which he
supposed were all right, Alderman
Allen spoke of the difficulty of collect
ing on criminal and civil bonds. He
thought that the promises of the
company had been broken with great
regularity
The discussion of what was meant
by beginning work was taken up, and
the question defined in an amendment
drawn up by Alderman Eldridge and
accepted by Alderman FurlOw

jurymen retired for further consid-
Grafton.
New York, Nov. 5.-Breaking the
reserve of weeks and overcoming an
apparent enmity, fright and suspense
today brought together Mrs. Charles
w. Morse, wife of the ice king, and
Mrs. Alfred H. Curtis, wife of the
Bank of North America. The two
women sat through the long days of
the trial without exchanging the least
sign of recognition. The climax
came with a dramatic scene that fol-
lowed the retirement of the jury
again after the foreman had asked
the court for further instructions.
Mrs. Curtis, who has been called
the heroine of the trial, was unable
to withstand the strain under which
she had waited for I . hours, as the
jurors debated the fate of her hus-
band and that of Morse, WHO were
tried together on the charge OF vio-
lating the banking laws.
AS the door closed behind the Jury.
Mrs. Curtis broke down completely
and wept. Mrs. Morse, who has shown
greater strength and power to with
stand the suspense, was so affected
by the condition of Mrs. Curtis, that
she arose and went to her side.
Through her tears, Mrs. Curtis
looked up at Mrs. Morse, saw her cx-
preston and extended her arms. The
women embraced each other, sobbing.
Mrs. Morse then placed her arm
about Mrs. Curtis, and led her from
the court room.
To those who have seen the atti,
tude and dislike of the two women
throughout the trial were greatly af-
fected by the dramatic reconcllla-
tion.
The hatred between the two wo-
men was increased during the trial
by the efforts of each financicr TO
throw the blame for all wrong doing
upon the other but when the hus-
bands overcame their differences the
last week. the wives remained more
frigld than ever, until the scene to-
