 Want New Waterworks.
 A special to the Star from Jacksonville says the city council last night by vote of four to one passed a resolution to submit to the people of Jacksonville the right to vote on whether or not the city shall issue $120O0 worth of bonds for the purchase or building of new system of waterworks The old system is entirely inadequate to meet the demands of a rapidly expanding town. There is a reasonable prospect of the city's secur- ing plant that employs from 150 to 200 skilled laborers in the not distant future. Negotiations said to be under way that will very probably result in the es- tablishment of the industry here.

MONEY FOR C0OSA RIVER

Gadsden, February 5.-(Special)-T preliminary of Bob Poe for the murder of William H. Hawkins on the night of December 24 last was begun this morning before Probate Judge Penn and continued all day. A number of witnesses were examined for the state whose testimony tended to connect Poe with the crime. He was pretty thoroughly identified as a negro who was seen in the vicinity short 1y before the murder was committed. He was employed at the furnaces from where the hammer was taken with which the crime was committed. Some Of sthe cloth ing worn by the negro was shown to GOT respond with that of the negro who was seen lettering where the murder was done. Unless the negro can make an explanation of his whereabouts at the time flaw kins was killed he is almost certain to be held to the grand jury.
 A dispatch received here today from Congressman Burnett stated that he had succeeded in having $l5,O00 appropriated for survey of the headwaters of the Coosa with view of aiding in the devel opment of the river through conservation of its waters by storage reservoirs in- cluded in the general rivers and harbors bill and passed. This means much to the river, for if the proposition of storing the headwaters meets with the approval of the government engineers the prospect of an early improvement of the stream will be greatly enhanced.
 The annual meeting of the fire depart ment will be held next Tuesday night for the purpose of electing the officers for the ensuing year. W. G. Bellenger will no doubt be again elected as president and Tom Fullington, who was made chief on the resignation of Chief Woodliff, will also be elected to succeed himself
 A three-weeks term of the civil division of the city court will convene next Mon day. A jury term for the court has been called for March s, when the next session of the grand jury will also take place. The repairing of the first steel cars sent to the local works has been accomplished with marked success, and Superintend- ent Portner makes the assurance that this class of work will now be a regular feat ure at the shops. This will insure a sub stantial increase in the working force.
