COUNOIL MEETING,

Owing to several important matters
which will claim the attention of the
City Council 1t is proposed to have a
called meeting on Thursday or Friday
night of this week, If this is done it
will obvia,e the necessity of two meet
ings next week. The tax law is now
pending in the Common Council, and
the appropriation bill If presented this
week in the Board Of Aldermen can be
considered In the Common Council next
Tuesday. These bills cannot pass the
two branches on the same night, and II
is thought beat to have one meeting this
week aud one next, instead of two in a
week. In addition to this the health,
street and building ordinances are TO be
considered. The committee meetings
will be many next month, especially the
finance; for in addition to matters now
before them, examination and settlement
of license and tax accounts with the
mayor and tax collector, they will also
have to examine the annual statement
for the year bow ending of the city
auditor.

SATISFACTORY EXPLANATION

1t will be remembered thst Abe
Douglas, cOlored, was at the April term
of the Corporation Court convicted of
assaulting and cutting Isaac Hackley,
also colored, and was sentenced to serve
one year In the peniteptisry. About
the fret of the present month a guard
came here from Richmond to take
Douglas to the penitentiary and when
at the station awaiting the arrival OF the
train a dispatch came here from the gov
ernor directing that the prisoner be held
here till an examination could be made
of the case by the executive. This was
somewhat unusual bat the incident WAS
soon forgotten and Douglas is still in the
city Jail. A cOlOred man who calls at
this Office every day on little matters OF
business this morning gave out the fol-
lowing explanation Of the whole affair I:
"You see, Abe is a fellow brother OF
the governor in the MasODs, Elks and
Odd Fellows. He has a silent tongue,
a listening ear, q true heart and stands
by the plumb, and has trodden the burn
iug sands and travelled the rough and
dangerous road. When he left the Jail
with his guard for the railroad station
'he tbrowed the signal and the COVER
nor answered quick by wire, saving his
brother FROM the penitentisry."
This is an explanation which should
satisfy the most skeptical and the
wonder is that no one thought OF 1t be-

SMALL CROWD SEES
 "WOMAN OF MYSTERY.

The attraction at the Elks last night "A Woman of Mystery" although a high class drama, brought forth only a fair crowd of the theatre goers, who desired to see Miss Courtenay Morgan in her strong emotional play Miss Courtenay Morgan is a born actress and has the genius which is essential to success before the foGlights. Tn the performance hast night she showed her gift of nature and long experience in the emotional role of, Ashyea. The company also included few othef artists of fairly good ability, but not worthy of mention. The meetings for the four acts were also very good for as small a company that of the '.Wo- man of Mystery" but as a whole the show was very good for one of it's kind.
