I who recently left a session of council
in a body, instituted quo warranto pro-
| ceedings in the corporation court
against Julian Y. Williams, a member
of council from the second ward, on
! the ground that he Is no longer a resi-
| dent of Alexandria city. With this ac-
ton. the seats of five out Of the sixteen
members OF council are being ques-
toned.
The petition presented to the court
states that early in 1872 Mr.. Williams
moved from the city of Alexandra to
Cottage Park. Va, where he has since
made his residence and therefore is no
longer entitled to sit in council. Judge
Barley. of the corporation court, fixed
February 10. the first day of the next
term, for the preliminary hearing OF
the case.

SULPHUR TAKEN FROM WELLS
How 1t Is Forced From Great Depths In Louisiana by Means Of
 Hot Water.

Within recent years Sicily, so long famous for its exportation of sulphur, has suffered from the competition of the United States. In Sicily sulphur is mined in the solid form At Lake Charles, La., near the Gulf of Mexico, little over 200 miles from New Or leans, sulphur is obtained from deep deposits in the form of liquid.
 Wells driven to 8 depth of 600 feet fin search of petroleum revealed in- stead rich deposit of sulphur To obtain the mineral hollow tubes were driven into the earth Each sulphur well consists of three tubes, one with in another. Through the outer tube hot water is forced down, and it is- sues through perforations near the bottom. Through the central tube hot air is driven a little lower than the points where the hot water es- oapes. Through this third tube, in- closed between the other two, the H. quid sulphur, dissolved by the water, rises to the surface under the com bined influence of the pressure of the column oi water and impulsion of the rising cir. The liquid sulphur ts led into wooden reservoirs, where 1t cools and hardens.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
TELEPHONE ROOMS.
Announcement of Dissolution Has A
 Stimulating Effect.

New York, Dec. 21-The halliday session yesterday was the most 1m- portant business day of the week on the New York Stock Exchange. The list of stocks dealt in was increased and the volume was especially large Tn view of only two hours trading, com pared with the usual five which consti- tutes a regular business day. Two events were responsible for the sud den actiyity-the passage of the cur rency bill in amended form by the Sen ate and the announced dissolution Of the Bell Telephone system. In the cur rency measure the fact that it had been passed rather than the question of its passage resulted in cheerfulness, as it had been a fOregone conclusion that Senate would act on it probabaly by 'fe end of the week The announce
 hent by the Amerncan Telephone and Telegraph Company that it would dis pose of it's holdings of Western Union Telegraph stock, and in other respects would follow out the requirements of the antitrust law, really was more stimulating to the stock market than the currency bill news, owing to the fact that the telephone company had
 taken the initiative instead of await ing the result of a suit by the govern ment that would have been both cost ly and disturbing to business.
 Wall Street was taken entirely by SUI pIlSS DN Iu0 news or the aCI1On or the American Telephone and Tele- graph Company, as the matter had been kept an absolute secret; Not even the intimate associates of the high officials of the company it was said were given a suggestion of the contemplated move. Naturally Tele- phone stock was the attraction in trad ing on the New York Stock Exchange the first sale was at 120 1-2, which was followed by transactions at 121,12l 1-2, and 122 immediately, as compared with III 1-4 Fridays closing price, and very soon afterward the price rose to 124 l-4 a gain of { points. The whole active list was benefited except Western Un- ion Telegraph which showed a, loss of Z l-2 points at the close. The selling of Western Union was due to the un certainty regarding it's future and how the telephone company's holdings of Western Union stock will be sold,

HIS SPEECH WAS GREAT HIT

 Reason.

II was late before Pumpertcn got @mne- but his wife was still sitting up epe him Well, John" she greeted him,
 Bow was the dinner? And how was sour speech received2"
 Pumperton took off his coat. snEl ing genially- AOh, splendidly, my dear. spiendid1y! I got there a oit late, when the others were already at the table, but l just slipped in quietly and didn't make any stir,
 Well, how about the speech?' she reminded him Did it make as much of hit as you expected?''
 "Oh, yes-more None of the pre- eeding speeches had been particular Y clever, and they had hardly raised a smile But had no more than stood mp and begun when they began to laugh. l went on. my dear, and. I as sure you, they simply shook. I never have seen any company so thoroughly entertained. I even expanded little gave them couple of new stories that came into my mind. And when ] sat down they cheered and cIapped an laughed for minutes. I shall never forget how they laughed"
 Yes. I can well imagine so." his wife said sarcastically. But the next time you are to make an after-dinner speech wouldn't it be well to put your vest on before leaving homer"

WOULD REVISE LAWN TENNIS RULES
Dirt Courts From Davis Cup Matches Changes Would Favor EngIands Style.

New York, Dec. 21.--As if to atone for it's oversight in permitting the formation of the International Lawn Tennis Federation to be undertaken by continental authorities the Eng llSh Lawn Tennis association is now coming to the fore with numerous sug- gestions for changes in the Davis cup and general tennis playing rules. The English lawn tennis association pro- poses to submit at the international lawn tennis federation meeting in March 8 new service regulation which is at wide divergence with the pres ent code. The radical departure from the. existing rule can be perceived when it is understood that if the new regulation is adopted 1t will be neceS- Sary for the server to replace the foot raised from the ground in service, be- hind the base line before stepping into the court, instead of swinging into the court with the raised foot once the service is completed, as is permissible under the existing code. This change would have the effect of slowing up a player who followed his service with a rushing for the net and since a large proportion of English players advocate the deep court game it would be less detrimental to the English game than to that of almost any other country where tennis has reached high class status
 A number of changes in the rules governing the DdN1S4 cup play are dlSO put forward as desirable, although England lost the possession of the in ternational tennis trophy last July when the United States team defeated the cup defenders, three matches out of five The English lawn tennis as- sociation would allow the playing of Davis cup matches on turf or natural or artificial gritty material which ap- pears more likely to fit a gravel than dirt court.
 
 Another proposed change would bar a player from competing from any country but the one which he repre- scented in his first Davis cup play. The powers of the referees are also in creased by the suggested changes as well as by number of rather technical alterations proposed, which leads to wonder that these alterations in the code governing an international tro- phy, donated by an American were not proposed before England lost the cup.
