PAVING SPECIFICATIONS. And Bids Will be Advertised for Other Matters Attended to by the City Fathers. Council meeting last night was not pro ductive of much that would interest the mass of property owners of the city. It was strictly a business meeting with not a riffle on the surface. Aldermen Winship and Goodwyn were the absentees tout they did not miss much nor did they neglect the interest of their constituents i ntheir different wards by their absence. The acceptance of the specifications for paving In asphalt and brick which had been drawn up by the city engineer and an order to the city clerk to advertise for bid.- which will be used for the information of council in the future award of contracts for paving, was a matter that will be of interest to those who are working to se cure one or the other of these materials on the different streets to be paved. Os course the details of these specifica tions would not interest the general pub lic. They are matters for the perusal of the companies that want to do the work. As there are .but few of the readers of The N.ws who .will bid for this work it would he a waste of valuable advertising space to give these particulars. It may be safe ly a.-umed that the city engineer has looki d after the interest of the taxpayers in drawing up the specifications, especially as he has drawn upon himself the wrath of sundry and divers contractors because of his determination that no one shall get tin .'best of the people who are paying for the work. The Board of Education asked that the city put in curbing in front of the Orange street school, and the matter was referred to the committee on streets. Macon Gun i tub. Two minor petitions relating to frame buildings and other matters of such light importance were referred, and then the Macon Gun Club asked for the use of the baseball grounds at the park for one day in each week for the purpose of shooting at clay pigeons and otherwise wasting ammunition that might come in useful the Spanish. That they may be allowed to spend their money in this way a bit of red tape has to be used up, and consequently their petition will be formal ly considered by the committee on public property. H. (*. Gibson, who has sold goods to some of the officials Os the city had a pe tition to the finance committee against certain officers, but the names were not read out, nor would they be given if they were, as it is not the purpose of The News to assist the finance committee of The News in the unpleasant duty which Mr. Gibson ascribes to it, to be a collecting agency. It is stated, however, that some of the bills referred to in the petition have whiskers on them, and it might be well for the officers to walk up to the lick log and pay thi rn if they received value for the amount claimed. Wires on Poles. The ‘Macon, Dublin and Savannah Rail road asked that it be allowed to run its wires on poles through the lower -part of th(> city instead of putting them under ground. It is possible that the petition will be granted unless indeed the Macon, Dublin and Savannah Railroad intends to runs its road through to Savannah at an early date, in which event the business of the road will be so big and its wires so numerous that council will probably insist that the wires be put underground. Under a resolution, the advertisements for the bids for the paving with brick will be run in the newspapers having the good fortune to secure the advertisements, for fifteen days instead of ten in order to give everyone an opportunity to see them and put in their bids. It would be too bad if anj of the asphalt companies missed spell an opportunity. Apparently no one wanted money for no bills were read on the first reading. Vouchers for $3,097.93 for the Georgia Quincy Granite Company were read and approved. This was for paving 'done, and the company which has put down such exl cellent paving will not be kept long out of its money. Macon Directory. The Georgia Directory Company—Messrs Jemison & Cherry, had a petition before council at the last meeting asking for the endorsement of their proposed direc tory of IMacon to be issued this year and the committee? having faith in the gentle men who are to issue the directory said that it was a publication deserving of sup port and endorsed It. Mr. T. C. Parker asked for a reduction on the license of weighing machines and was turned down. But not so with iMr. A. T. Holt, who asked for a reduction of his license as a real estate agent. His petition evidently had some knotty points in it. The city attorney will decide as to whether the committee can unravel that point and refuse the petition without bringing a lawsuit on the city? The Young Men’s Christian Association will save considerable money because of the report of the committee on finance, which has agreed to knock off the taxes on the Y. M. ‘C. A. building for the year 1898. The committee did ont say so, but they evidently thought that the building was so inadequate to the needs of the Y. M. C. A. and that the people of IMacon should really have given them a new building so long ago, that it was not fa ; r for the tax payers to be relived of the extent of the amount of the taxes on the present wretched home of ttifts great insti tution. The first quarterly report of the city treasurer was submitted by the finance committee, but it was not read. It will be published later on. Will Hang Sign Ont. The Macon 'Carnival Association had asked for permission to stretch a sign across Cherry street from the Chamber of Commerce to the other side, and the com mittee said that they might do so provided they tied the sign so securely that it would not blow away. It is to be presum ed that the association will comply with this condition, or failing to do so they might be thought frivolous. The Public Library having asked for the use of the park for the Fouth of July, the petition was granted, and the committee in granting it added that the library is an institution held in the highest esteem by the people of Macon. The action and the rider will meet the approval of the whole people. The ordinance committee, of which Ai derman Meyer is chairman reported on th ordinanc of the Board of Health providing that all persons who have been exposed to smallpox shall be sent to the house of detention. A penalty clase was attached to this by the committee and in future all prsons who do not allow themselves to be taken to the house of detention wil be ta ken to the recorder's court and there fined. That is to say if anyone can be found in the city of Macon who has been exposed to smallpox. Help Liquor Men. Mayor Price broke the silence that fol lowed the last action taken by council toy suddenly announcing that times were hard. It was stale news, but everyone knew that the mayor was the last man to man to croak without a purpose. Os course, If any of the liquor dealers preferred to pay the whole 1250 in .April I instead of dividing it up in two install men U, they were at liberty to do so, and I this also met with the approval of the ] aiderman. Aiderman Taylor then offered u resolu tion that from a purely humanitarian I standpoint should have gone through with j a rush. He asked that <a view of the fact ! that the city required a quarantee bond for j the police officers and also required them ; to pay for their uniforms the premiums \ on the bonds be paid out of the city treas- j ury. Aiderman 'Morgan, who is the watch dog of the treasury, and may be asleep when other matters are discussed, woke up at the mention of money and asked that the petition be referred to the finance committee. That was all. A further call of the roll of committees failed to elicit a favorable response, and Aiderman Morgan, whose prerogative it is to do so, moved "that we adjourn." And the motion not being debatable council stood adjourned until next Tues day evening at 6:30 o'clock p. m. The mayor made a suggestion that in asmuch as times were hard a little lenien cy might be shown to the retail liquor dealers in the matter of their next pay ment. They had paid one-half of their li cense as required by law, and as the next payment of $250 came so soon afterwards, he thought it would be something of a re lief, as they paid the highest license of any business, to authorize the city clerk to collect $125 and the first of April and $125 on the first of May. Alderman Wil liaigs put the mayor r suggestion in the shape of a motion and it was carried. There was ratner a singular co-incidence in connection with this anion. It seems that on yesterday a petition to make the remaining half of the license in two pay ments was signed by all the dealers and to Alderman Huthnanee to place in council and it was just about to be handed to the clerk to be read when the mayor intro duced the subject, being in blissful igno rance of such petition, and was not made acquainted with the fact that there was one until after the meeting was over. Discovered by a Woiuan. Another great discovery has been made and that, too, by a lady in this country. "Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years he withstood its se verest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and her death seemed immi nent. For three months she coughed in cessantly and could not sleep. She finally discovered away to recovery by purchas ing of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Dis covery for Consumption, and was so much relieved on taking the first dose that she slept all night and with two bottles has been absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.” Thus writes Mr. W. C. Harninick & Do., of Shelby, N. C. Trial bottles free at H. J. Lamar & Sous’ drug store. Regular size 50c and sl. Every bottle guaranteed. Rev. E. Edwards, pasltor of the English Baptist church at Minersville, Pa., when suffering with rheumatism, was advised to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. He says: "A few applications of this linament proved of great service to me. It sub dued the inflammation and relieved the pain. Should any sufferer profit by giving Pain Balm a trial it wil please me.” For sale by H. J. Lamar & Sons, druggists. INDEPENDENT ARMY. Riflemen Will be 100,000 Strong in Penn sylvania. Pittsburg, Pa., .March 23. —War scares and fighting rumors are responsible for a movement which will have an independent aimy of 100,000 men in fighting order in the state of Pennsylvania within six months. They will be a part of the Amer ican Rifles, a patriotic military organiza tion which is strong in the West, and which is now devoting every possible mo ment to organization and extension.

GOING TO THE FRONT. The Troops From Atlanta Created Quite a Stir. GOING TO THE FRONT A large crowd assembled at the Union depot last night to see the United States soldiers from Fort McPherson, in Atlanta pass through going to Florida. The soldiers reached Macon on a special train at 9 o’clock, and were backed into the depot. There were six oars in the train when it arrived at Macon. Superin tendent Epperson’s private oar, one sleep ing car for officers, two passenger coaches and two baggage coaches. Captain S. W. Miller was in charge. First Lieutenant Butt and Second Lieu tenant Banford were with the charge. There were sixty-two men in all, three officers and fifty-nine privates. There were only three ladies with the troops, one was Car tain Miller’s wife, and the other two were wives of the soldiers. All the necessary equipment for infantry troops were carried along, such as tents, provisions, bedding, etc. Captain Miller said he had provisions enough to last for about six days, but that more would be purchased as they were needed, as they could be secured as easily and as cheap in Florida, as they could be shipped. There were no horses nor heavy arms with the company. Captain Miller said that he did not know how long they would stay at St. Augustine, and did not fear that the ser vices of his company would be needed in active warfare any time soon. Nene of the men except the officers left the train at Macon. Mrs. Miller got off and with her husband drank a cup of cof fee. Mrs. Miller said that she was glad that she was going near the seat of war and that she thought it was jolly to have some excitement further that the routine at the barracks in Atlanta. After changing engines here the train was carried on to Albany where it will be turned over to the Plant system and car ried to St. Augustine. TO THE PUBLIC.
