THE MORNING CALL. Vol. X. No. 162. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. What the City Fathers Did and Did Not Do Yesterday. The city council .net yesterday af ternoon, presided over by Hie Honor, Mayor Davie. The minutes of last meeting were read and approved. A petition was read from A. C Sorrel asking the council to not grant the r< quest of Osborn A Wolcott to be allowed to run a eide track to their foundry. Judge 11. T. Daniel, representing Osborne A Wolcott, read a counter petition from a number of o’ber resi dents of North Griffin asking that the privilege ba granted the company. Judge Daniel then made a short speech in which he said the council would do no harm to any one in allow ing the company to run a eide track to their place of businee 0 . The track would be laid on the street, with no grade and no cut. The cars would not be allowed to stand on the street, and possibly not more than one or two cars would pass over the track each week. He thought the citizens of Griffin should encourage the manufacturing enterprises of the city, and cease op pressing them One reason no more factories are established here is because of the jealousies of some people who are opposed to everything that does put money directly in the r pocket. The time had come when the citizens of Griffin must Jay aside this selfish spirit and do ell in their power to assist manufacturing enterprises if they expect to keep pace with the other cities of Georgia C»pt Sorrel and Mr. J M Mills took different views of the matter and thought it would be an injustice to the citizens of North Griffin to run a side track down Hill street. Alderman Blakely moved the mat ter be referred to the street committee Aiderman Patrick, who is chairman cf that committee, stated that the matter had already been referred to bis committee, but they refuser* to take the responsibility of deciding the question and bad referred it back to the council. Thp committee had looked into the matter and found the facts to be as stated by Judge Daniel. He was not opposed to granting the petition, as be did not sea how it could interfere with the traffic of North Hill street. The matter was finally re ferred to thi street committee, who, together with the mayor, will make further investigations. An ordinance was was read for the first tiaie changing the ordinance creating a board of health, by making the mayor and city physician ex-jffi cio members of the board. Superentendent Howard of the water works, stated that the small smoke stack-at pumping station had fallen dawn, He’thought it would be to build a brick chimney, as iron stacks would last only two or three years, which cost SIOO per an num A brick chiifiney would cost not exceeding SSOO and would last from thirty to fifty years. Several members of the council agreed with Mr. Howard that a br-ick .chimney would be a good investment, and the matter, was referred to the light and water committee, who are to get estimates of the cost of such a chimney and report at the next meet* iog. The reports of Supt. Howard were ordered published in the Call every month. Dr. J. F. Stewart read a lengthy re port of the action* of the board of htal.b for the past year. The report ”as received and ordered put on re cord. The report of the city sexton for the first quarter, ending Feb. 28, was' read, and showed there had been twenty-four interrments in the ceme tery—fourteen whites and fourteen colored. Ihe reports of ClerlT and Treasurer and Chief of Police Ison for Feb ruary were read and referred to proper committees. ihe council then went into execu tive session to consider the bids re ‘'eived to work the screetsof Griffin for •e next ten months The members were very reticent about what they 11 secret session, and all they would give out was that all bids, had ■i.en rejected.

Eli Brewer, Emory Drake and Ed Brewer were thrown from a buggy yesterday at noon and came very near meeting with fatal injuries. The three young men were in Mr. Brewer’s buggy going to their dinner, when tbe mule became frightened and ran away. The buggy was over* turned and its occupants were thrown violently to the ground. Mr. Drake sustained the most se rious injuries as the bone of his right leg wae fractured twice below tbe knee and bis ankle wae badly wrenched. He was placed on a passing wagon and carried to the residence of Judge Hammond, where the young men were boarding, and Drs Anthony and Car son were summoned. Mr. Eli Brewer had bis left ankle severely sprained and will be confined to bis room for several weeks. Mr. Ed Brewer escaped with a few bruises and a badly mangled hand. The many friends of these popular young men will regret to learn of tbe accident, but will be pleased to know they were resting quietly last night. That Griffin Entente- From the Rome Commercial Argus: The following is from the Albany Herald. We endorse every word of it. If the senile and slow moving Intell igence of a governor cannot giasp a condition in lime to meet an emer gency, it behooves tbp local authorities to act for the protection of tLeir homes and families. Public sentiment throughout the entire state will approve the action of ’ the Griffin authorities in promptly 1 taking the matter in band Says the Herald : •'We may expect to see a good deal in the newspaper about thia Griffin affair, especially since the effort has been made to have it appear that the Griffin military company and citizens of Griffin were the aggressors, and the point has already been raised that the local military had no right or authori ty to turn out as they did, the Govern or not having ordered them out for ■ the occasion. Those who look at the ' matter from the standpoint of Geor gians, however, will not concern them- ' selves over the question as to whether the Griffin military company was under direct orders from the Governor , or not. It is said that the mayor of i Griffin called out the company. Be this as it may, the company, be it said j to its everlasting credit, turned up at i the right time and in the right place, and the pity is that there wasn’t a militia company at every station where the savage negro soldiers stop ped. The effort to have the Gov ernor discipline the Griffin militia for turning out as it did will not amount to anything.” Bucklen’s Arnica Salve- THE BEST SALVE in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Ulcers, Salt Rheum Fever Sores, Tetter, Chapped Hands, Chilblains, Corns, and all Skin Eruptions, and positively cures Piles, or no pay re quired.

The Jury Snugs in a Verdict of Not Guilty The case of the state vs Will Goens was resumed in tbe superior court yesterday morning. The crowd in at tendance was as large as it was the day before, and tbe speeches of Solicitor General Bloodworth and Col Thos E. Patterson were mastetly eff.rtf—me trying with all the earnestness of bis nature to convict tbe man, the other endeavoring to return tbe piisoner to bis wife and child. It had been a bard fought legal battle, and a sense of relief was felt among the spectators when tbe judge delivered his charge and the jury retired to make a verdict. In less than half an hour the jury returned to the court room with aver diet of not guilty. When the solicitor read the words which opened the prison doors to Will Goens, his friends were unable to restrain their feelings, and the sheriffs and bailiffs were com manded by the judge to enforce order in tbe court room.

It does not require an expert to detect the sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, -puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow, parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheu matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the flips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in parsing it; if after passing there is an un satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re peated, <>r if the urine has a brick dust de posit or strong odor. When these symptoms are present, no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may rus into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great discovery of the eminent kidney and blad der specialist, is a positive remedy for such diseases. Its reputation is world wide and it is so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it. However, if yon prefer so first test its wonderful merits, mention The Middle Georgia Farmer, and write to Dr. Kil mer & Co,, Binghamton, N.
