 The potato famine here and consequent high prices have been broken by the ar rival of a supply of northern grown tu bers that have brought the price down from 9 to 50 per cent in just a day or two. The crop was very short here and until the northern supply arrived the home growers commanded whatever price they wished for their crop. The whole sale price is now $1 a bushel and this price will no doubt be lowered soon IS big crop has been raised in some of the northern potato growing sections.
 The matter of large trunk sewer to care lUr lHe WdSte Ol lnt tHTte cllleS utre is being agitated and such an enterprise will likely be undertaken within the next few years. Already there is trouble over the sewage from Alabama City and that from Attalla will soon become a more serious problem, as that city is just now putting in a water system which will in- crease the need for proper sewage facili- ties. The waste from these two cities is being emptied into the creeks at the pres ent time, and as these are not large there is certain to be trouble.

Marsh is engaged in making a typographical map of the city park located at the foot of Broad street surrounding the Emma San som monument for the purpose of hav- ing a plan for the improvement pre- pared by a landscape architect in the employ of the City Beautiful club This club took the courthouse park in hand two years ago and made an astonsh- ing improvement in the place, and now hopes to undertake a similar work with the larger park at the river side.

MeeRATH CHARGES.

Street Commissioner James Hosllinp
was LAST night completely exonerated
by the common council, i'm eXecutiv,
session, of any wrongdoing as charged
by Joseph McGrath. A resolution was
unanimously passed, after the hearing
of two Witnesses summoned on behalf
of McGrath, ana i've who appeared for
Hosking. repudiating the charges re-
ferred TO as follows:
Resolved, That we, the council of
the city of Hancock, acting as com
mittee on the whole this twenty
eighth day OF June. TO hear evidence
in the case of Joseph McGrath VS..
James II. Hosking, do not find evil
dence sufficiently well-founded To JUS
tify as in any further consideration
of the case, and we therefore dismiss
the claims and repudiate all charges
made. against said James r. Hosking"

evening comprised the mayor, clerk

as did Matt Kemppainen, the latter
testifying that he had worked on
sewer trench on the property of Mrs.
Smart, for which he had received no
pay from MIR. Hosking, but had re-
ceived full pay from the city for the
work done during the month in quest
ion. John Chapman, who had worked
on the same job. stated that he had
received five dollars, with instructions
from Mr.. HoslIing To pay half Of II to
Kemppainen, but the the latter had not

RYAN was brought over from the
Houghton Jail by deputy and testi- |
fed that he had erected a fence on
the property of Mrs. Crosse and had re-
ceived payment for the job from Mr.. /
Hosl1ing. The city records were
brought i'm and showed that the |
amounts turned in by Mr.. ilosliing |
showed short months for all the city |
employees concerned in the investiga-
ton. and the only fault in the opin-
ion OF the council, that could rightly /
be attributed 20 the street commission |
err was a carelessness in his business |
methods. 1t was decided that In the
future the signatures of the men en-
ployed as well as that of Mr.. IIoskins
should be signed to the time cards. a
system which vas adopted last
January. None of the witnesses We're
placed under oath and several of the
persons who might have thrown light
on the matter failed to appear at the
hearing. the eoCrcil having no power

the matter is settled. but MIR. Nc

against Mr. Hosking were made says
that he is not going to drop II ana

plain that he had been led to break
off the match by something that his

THE case is heard" said the presid-
ing magistrate, and then the Judge

distinctly i'm serious tones:
Considering that in ancient times
marriage was based solely on love;
considering that since those times
christian morals have subjected it to
important evolution, and that in these
days marriage Is regarded as finan-
cial contract to defend the two parties
against possible escapades. as the real
motive for marriage is money the man

considering that it is to be regret
ted that. owing to the new character
of marriage, young couples do not get
into the habit Of drawing up "A docu
ment at the time of their betrothal
with forfeit clause, as is customary
with certain foreign legislations, like
the American legislation"
And. the judgment continued. since
the defendant had not brought any
proof that the plaintiff has expressed
wish which had led him To break
on the match and that the plaintiff
had on her side sustained manifest
loss, therefore. it concluded. "he Is
condemned to pay 20 cents for the
moral prejudice and $3.50 for the ma
