Council Committees Ready to
Begin Work.
FORMAL NOTICES GIVEN
Clerk Hudsins Advises Members OF
Their Respective Appointments
Probability of Some Contests-low'
er Branch Has the Advantage

City Clerk Floyd Hudgins yesterday
urepared the formal notices 10 the
members OF the city council OF their
appointments to the council commit
tees and they will be delivered 10 the
solans today. All of the committees
are expected TO meet and organize De
fore the regular meeting OF the low
or branch two weeks from today.
Last night was the regular stated
meeting night of the committees on
buildings. grounds and lights; fire
department and water, and ordinance
and police. but no meetings were
held as the membes of those commit
tees had not received official notice
Of their appointments. 1t is expected
that they will hold special meetings
this week TO organize and get down
to work.
The committees on almshouse and
moor. highways and sewers and
health will meet on the night of Fri
day. September 80, to organize and
transact any other business before
them. The committees on finance
and schools will not meet until the
Monday night before the meeting OF
the common council.
Some interesting contests are anti
cipated when the committees meet
There is some speculation as 10 the
Craftsmanship of the finance commit
tee. the most important committee OF
the council There are three mem
ters from each branch of the coun
Gil. but owing to the fact that Alder
man Caleb d. West is out of. the city
the common council will have a ma
jority in the committee on the regular
meeting night.
According to authenticated reports
the members of the common councl
expect to elect chairmen of the com
mittees on finance, highways ant
sewers. fire department and watel
and almshouse and poor This would
leave the chairmanships of the com
mittees on buildings, grounds ant
lights. ordinance and police, health
and schools for the members iron
the upper branch.
1t is expected that the joint com
mittee on rules will hold a meeting
within the near future to get to wori
on a new set of rules for the TIVE
bodies. In all probability there viii
be but little change in the rule
adopted by the old council.

KILLS CLARKE COUNTY MAN.
Tragedy at Merry-GoRound in eoyce
Va.

STAUNTON. VA. Sept. 19.-Hugh
Curtiss, of Washington. Rappahan-
mock county. Va. was shot and In
stantly killed Saturday night at
Boyce Clarke county, Va. by James
Feltner. a well digger.
Trouble started between the two
after Feltner had persisted in jump
ing on and off a merry-go-round which
was run by Curtiss. Repeated warn
ings TO Feltner had no effect and a
few words passed when Feltner shot
Curtiss through the heart with a 80
calibre revolver.
Feltner claims that he acted in self
defense, as Curtiss hit him several
times with a black Jack. Both men
had been drinking.
Feltner is lodged in Jail, and has
employed as counsel Marshall Nc
Cormick and A. Moore, Jr., two OF
the best criminal attorneys in this
State.
