Last Night City Fathers Had Their Hands Full of
Propositions and Transacted Much Business;
School Budget Adopted by Finance Com
mute Amounts to Thirty-five Thousand.
The mayor and council held a busy
session last night which was the reg
ular meeting for the month of April.
Many petitions w r ere read and a num
ber of citizens were present inter
ested in various matters coming up
before the council.
Mr. A. H. Hodgson was present and
requested the council to cause all
deeds held by the city for property
formerly belonging to the Athens
Park and Improvement company, se
cured from tax sales be canceled.
Some years since, a number of lots
were bid In by the city marshal at
tax sale, but since that time It Is al
leged that the receivers for the com
pany paid off all tax fl fas, but In
some way the records at the court
house were not canopied. Many of
the lots have bren purchased by citi
zens since that time and Improve
ments have been made, and In order
that no complications might arise In
the future, Mr. Hodgson asked that
the records showing the property as
belonging to the city be canceled. The
matter was referred to the public
property committee to Investigate and
report back to the council.
Mr. W. A. Mallory presented a bill
against the city for fifty dollars for
part in-n t which has been figured out
on a very close economical basis. The
increased appropriation does not com
mence, however, until the first of Sep
tember, the beginning of the school
year.
Mr, Magtll submitted a proposition
for the grading of Hampton avenue,
the cost to be six hundred dollars,
the city's part not to exceed two hun
dred dollars. As this Is an Improve
ment which has teen desirable for
many years and more especially now
that the development has been made
so much pioperty In that section
of the city, the council thought well
of the proposition and adopted the
report of the street committee rec
ommending the expenditure dt two
hundred dollars.
The street committee reported far-
otable on the acceptance of the ex
tension of MUIedge to Natahala av
enue. provided the property owners
donate the right of way.
For many years the street sweep
ings and the manure from the city
stables has been sold to the highest
bidder, but from now on tbo council
has directed that all sweepings and-
manure from the stables be carried

Atlanta, Ga., April 6.—By a big vote
this afternoon the city council of At
lanta passed the ordinance which re
quires the express companies doing
business 1n Atlanta to make a report
each day to the police of the city of
all shipments of whiskey received In
the city of Atlanta. The fight has
been warm on this question and the
ordinance will most certainly be at
tacked when Its operation Is attempt
ed In force.

The .Union and Mechanic club, ( a
social club which was recently put
under the ban by the council and
whoae license was revoked, today

ed the adoption of the budget as sub
mitted by the board of education. The
amount asked for this year Is thirty-
fivo thousand dollrrs which, Is an in
crease over last year of four thousand
and five hundred dollars. On account
of the growth of the schools, the ap
propriation as made by council will
barely carry the expenses of that de-
Boulevard, where several acres of
land arc now under cultivation.
In a short while the council will
commence the erection of a stockade
on the city’s property and all convicts
will be kept there, Instead of the

opening of the street. The ordinance
goes over until the next meeting,

Stripling Hearing.
• Atlanta, April 6.—Fully 300 people
were gathered in the sepate chamber
at the capitol this morning at 8:30
clock when the state prison commis
sion began the hearing of the petition
for pardon of Thomas Edgar Strip
ling, of Harris county, the convicted
murderer who escaped from Georgia
years ago and became chief of police
in Danville, Va.
Relatives and members of the fara
lly of Stripling are present as well as
relatives -and sympathizers witb the
family of IV. J. Cornett, the man who
wag killed. The crowd Includes
hundred or more visitors from Har
ris, .Muscogee and Dougherty coun
ties, while people are here from Dan
vllle and Washington, D. C. ^The
Washington baseball team is among*
the spectators. Indications are that
by noon the senate chamber will be
literally packed.
Stripling himself, is of course not
present. Many people were disap
pointed by this, but It was never the
Intention to have him here. He
represented by Attorney T. T. Miller,
of Columbus, and other distinguish
ed counsel.
The Cornett family, opposing the
pardon, are represented by Attorneys
Cameron of Columbus, and Isaac
Oakes, of Lawrenceville.
The weighty petitions, hundreds of
them, both fbr and against the pardon
of Striping? were firs?" offered in evl
dence and discussed. The reading of
them did not consume much time, as
their contents were all more or leas
familiar to the members of the board.
No petition for pdfdon has ever
created as much excitement not only
In Georgia but throughout the entire
south as this. Opinions everywhere
honestly differ as to whether Strip
ling should be pardoned or not. At
lanta seems pretty evenly divided,
The present opinion as to the out
come seems to be that the board will
likely recommend a full pardon, but
that Governor Brown" Will not sanc
tion It; that the governor will either
refuse any clemency whatever,
matter what the board does, or that
he will agree only to a commutation
of the sentence to a short term. This
however Is only speculation. If the
board recommends the pardon, rela
tives of Stripling hope that even in
the event Governor Brown turn* the
recommendation down. Governor-elect
Smith will free the prisoner when hff
succeeds to the chair.

Atlanta, April 6.—Riding on tho
wings of tbe wind, borne upon the
bosom of the whirling storm-clouds, a
whole flock of helplese sea-fowl tum
bled out of the skies Into Atlanta's
streets during the torrential vjlown
pour last night. Some of them were
killed by strklng the earth; others
were not hurt; they are queer looking
birds, shaped like ducks, but slightly
smaller, with tiny, helpless wings, and
big web-feet with strong muscled feet.
None of them can fly for any distance.
They waddle helplessly on tbe
ground, but in the water are active
as eels. How any of them got up In
tbe clouds Is a mystery, unless they
were actually sucked up In a water
spout.
Negroes have tried to eat some of
the birds which fell like manna, but
found them to Bb of a disagreeable
Ashy odor.
More than 200 of them, living and
dead, were picked up out Peachtree
road.
It will be of interest to the people
of this city' to know that the con
struction of the Atlanta dc Carolina
Railway, Is now practically an as
sured fact. During the last week Mr.
M. Mason, president and general man
ager took a trip over the line from
Atlanta to Augusta, Georgia, with a
party of contractors and financiers,
showing them the route, as well as
the possibilities of business from an
operating standpoint.
Upon his return to Atlanta he en
tered Into a contract with contractors
of the party, Messrs. Adams & Sturm,
of Columbus, Ohio, for the grading
of the entire line from Atlanta to Au
gusta, the work on tbe first section
from -Atlanta to Conyers to begin at
once or as soon as grading forces can
he gotten on the ground.
The next section will be started at
the earliest possible moment and Mr.
Mason states that If the people along
the line will lend him their co-opera
tion there Is no reason why the en
tire line should not be tinder con
struction within the present year.
The company has Already laid about
three miles of track and the work of
construction Is going on as fast as
material ran be had. The work of
track laying will be pushed as rapidly
as the grading can be done and as
soon ss the company gets a few miles
completed, equipment will be sup
plied and the operation of the line
will begin.

INSTITUTE TO PROMOTE
PUBLIC PLAYGROUNDS,
Row In Republican Camp.
Atlanta, April A big fight Is on
for supremacy In Georgia by tho two
wings of the republican party, the
"Lily-Whites" beaded by Henry S.
Jackson, collector of Internal revenue,
and the "Organized Republicans," as
the faction Is called, headed by Wal
ter S. Johnson, chairman of the state
republican executive committee.
The split between Jackson and
Johnson Is of long standing. Jaokion
was appointed to bis present office
by President Taft without thf-en
dorsement of Johnson or of Henry
Blun, Jr., Savannah postmaster, and
national committeeman. Jackson,
who Is president of the "state league
of Taft clubs, and who la alto vice
president of the national republican
league for Georgia, now wants to be
made chairman of Ihe state executive
committee In Johnson’s place, end
the light will be on that Issue. It Is
intimated Attorney Alex Akermsn,
who la on the Johnson tide, may be a
possible candidate for the chair.
Moving Whole Cemetery.
Atlanta. April 6.—The county offi
ciate of Fulton are preparing to dig
Courthouse to be Wrecked.
Atlanta, April 8.—Within the next
week or two tbe old county epurt-
house will be wrecked, and tbe debris
carted away to clear tbe site for tho
new structure. How to raxe tha old
building least expensively is the ques
tion which now confronts the board of
commissioner!. Everything from tear
ing It down brick by brick, carefully
preserving all the materials, to blow
ing It up with dynamite and laving
none, has been suggested. A middle
course will likely be followed. The
building will be torn down, piece
meal, as rapidly as possible, and the
debris will be sold for what it may
bring.
Fifty Families, Same Name.
Atlanta, April 6.—One family of far-
mere, Holmes by name, has recently
contracted Tor a family telephone ex
change, a line on which fifty families
all the same name are connected, and
no others allowed to "butt In.” The
story which comes in good faith from
one of the managers of the local
Southern Bell office, beats anything
in the south in the matter of tele
phone contracts.
John H. Holmes, who lives in the
Knon church neighborhood, is the
bead or the family, and he will hare
charge of the exchange which will
connect the 49 other branches. One
branch family has eleven children,
and the numerous offspring In oth
ers show that there never haa been
any tendency to race suicide among
the Holmeses.
Oiled Roads Fairly Successful.
Atlanta, April 6.—The experiments
of using oil on roads, as a binder and
to keep down duit, tried out last year
in Fulton county under U. 8. govern
ment supervision, has proven fairly
successful, and Peachtree Road, as
well as some otithe other important
thoroughfares, will he oiled again
this spring. That the oil keeps down
dust bat been unquestionably proven,
while the local experts are now In
clined to believe It makes the road
better able to stand the terriffle wear

mobiles.
