Inst night's meeting ot tlic city ccun-
dl will, for many /tars rank os one of
the roost memorable roeoiiJS* of the
city's law makers. Stormy meetings

night's meeting was not only the
stormiest of them o&l. but was In every
respect the most sensational end the
result of tt all was the birth of a reg
ular Lexow reform Investigation ropve-
ment for Macon.
The meeting started otf as mildly
as n Quaker’s meeting, with Alderman
Harris the only absentee. The minutes
of the previous meeting were read and
adopted, a communloation from the
board of health, submitting resolutions
adopted by the board asking for the
drainage ot the swamp, were laid aside
until the legislature acts on the amend
ments to the charter. A communica
tion from the board of public worka
usklng Chat unllnished work on Wal
nut, Ocmulgee and adjacent streets
be ftnSShed, was waa referred to the
street committee with power to act,
and the report of the public property
committee in regard to «v lost house
at the fair grounds, was adopted.
Then the street committee' reported
adversely on the petition of the city
engineer to run the roadway on Third
street, between Mulberry acid Walnut,
in the middle of the road, was reported
on adversely: the advisory committee
made a report on the communication
of Gaihoury & Noble in regard to sew
er connections, saying that there was
an ordinance covering same and ct
communication from the mayor, saying
he hup appointed the tfolowlng election
managers for the aldermanlc election
on December 12, was adopted:
First Ward—R. L. Henry, DeWitt
McCrary, J. H. Peilew.
Second Ward—C. A. Ellto. G. L.
Reeves. John Marks.
Third WUrd—E. O'Connell, E. C,

Chairman Carling said the mayor had
allied 'Ms attention to Ihe provision ot
the charter for a eomimBMee cm cgipev'd
from the decisions «f ’trio registrars,
hud la accordance he w’ou' l nlnpa'ut Al
derman Van. Alt may err mui Findlay.
Then came the flreworks.
lAMerroaai Riley, .iuat as a motion to
adjourn was toeing made, arose and sub
mitted the following resolution, which
was read toy the Nark:
"Wihemis, On Dhe 15th at October,
1£M. I. BcshJnskl <11(1 plead guilty in the
recorder's court to selling whisky on
Sunday, and
'‘Whereas. The reeling of whisky on
Sunday is a direct violation of the li
cense ordinance governing the tale ot
whteky, and ,
‘‘Whereas, The .penalty for such vlola-
tloa Is forfeiture of license; therfore be
"Resolved, That the proper penalty be
mulcted, and that his license be and Is
hereby revoked. And toe It farther
"Itcaolved. Thalt it’he treasurer be di
rected to refur/i to the said Bnshlnskl
the :• mount of the tine Imposed by the
recorder."
Alderman Van made a motion to lay
the resolution on she (stole.
Aldermati Riley said dhe recorder had
no right to impose a tine, as the ordi
nance creating the recorder's court epe-
ctlic.illy slated tihait all persons con
victed of selling whisky on Sunday
should forfeit their •.c.nses.
Alderman Van tns.uel and Alderman
A'.tma’yer seconded his motion.
Alderman Colllns.bj• against the
resolutin. • i.d Aid ot man Van hai nvore
to say.
Chairman Carting requested the clerk
too read the ordinance, iwhtoh he did.
The ordinance clearly stated that all
parsons convicted of selling whisky on
Sunday Should forfeit their licenses.
Chairman Carting then mated that
council toad ao discretion in the matter,
os the ordinance settled the question,
rand he was in favor of enforcing the or-
dlnnce.
Alderman CrtHws wanted to know
Why Mr. Riley waited so long to bring
iS> the matter, and hotto Aldermen Von
'and Altmayer took the cue atll said
they, too, would like to know why he
watted a tong.
AMermam 'Riley (Stated that tt had
only recently come to hie knowledge.
The point was Shell raised thr.it coun
cil had received no official notice of the
recorder's addon.
lAJilettmam Altmayer offered a motion
thalt the matter he referred to a special
committee, and It got a second.
Alderman Findlay offered as a. sub
stitute for the whole that the matter
be referred to toe chief of police tor
Investigation. . ~
Chairman Carling said this was the
only motion on the pubject that toe
chair coujd entertain, as the license
stood revoked If Bashlnskt tadreiaUy
been convicted. HeJhen put the e w-
itlcn. but tihe vote was so even
tort It took a call of toe roll to de
cide. The following i* the vote on
Alderman FlnGVny'o swotlon: -

A short conference then ensued be

-itlcjlly wCia-t the penalty was, and he
•ouSd deshire B.uahlnskl'fl llcuisd for-
e'Jtetl. 'Uhls put a tempotviry quietus
.n the discussion, and aoiotlia 4 motion
vaa made :to qdjounn, but bef^e a sec-
t.^d was Citud aAildewmvsi Riley ilred hie
<303nd load into tne meaning with the
;>1 lowing rosoluLlon:
“Whereas. L BasJMnskl did on October
L5Ch, 1894. I'lend guilty In tha recorder’s
-oust tla eeJHng whisky on Somdiiy, and
“Whereas, The said recorder called ito
inflict ttihe pemaOty prescribed otr violat
ing the license onllnutvoe govegailng the
sale of whisky, and
“Whereas It waa the diuty of arid re-
jorder <to bind over tihe said Baafalroik!
to 'the city or superffar court fr vlo-
liiltlng 'tlhe itwfl of the state, be It
“Resolved. TOwJt the said recorder be
xnd he is herslby dlrooted to show cause
at flhe m>2xjt reguilur meeting of council
why he is not guilty of serious neglect
of duty as a public officer*”
Tlhis 'took even greaitor effect
•iham -tihe first, an»3 for ,i moment after
the tflork’s voice subsided tBiere wa« n
f'flinneai itha't iwas puMul. Then a half
dozen aCdeuraen roue eimuHaneou?ly,
but Aihlerman CoUims got the floor. He
wus excited .nnd did not attempt to con
ceal it, and In loud iJjnsa sai'i Alderman
RUey’s rasoliitCons looked to him like
underhand work.anid that tfhe Good Gov
ernment Club was mixed up tn It, as It
wai very i?trance that all this time
should have elapsed before anything
was said about ithe fine Imposed on Bu-
sjhlnadci.
lAMeitman Coailns was about to etiy
more. <wihein CMrman Carling told him
to €»it dlown. as he would not have any
peru>nurjtleii In tihe meeting, While the
oha4r was apeakiwg, howevevr, Alderman
Riley arose, pale with excitement, but
with remarkable seftf-conitrol, and In a
quiet but firm manner said:
“Every word you *wy Is untrue.”
Alderman Collins arose again and
wdis abuut 'to reply when Ohairatan
Carling »jdld both gentliemen they must
keep tdeir scuitu and indulge In no more
personalities. Aldorman COlWns tuien
a'lowe and apologized to the chair for
his remarks. *
Alderman Findlay then carried the
attention of council back to the reso
lution, and said he 'believed he knew
Judge Freeman better tran any nvaa
in ooumoll, as they had roomed together
at college, and since leaving co'.kge,
a.nd he loetiveod tihait ih>s would be glad
to have iuis actions Inveetigatad.
Alfter-nvui Sperry, for the finat lime,
took in the discussion by saying
Urn: he thought the resolutlort too pe-r-
eihptory, as tihe recorder was a city
official cm whom they all had confi
dence. In h1s opinion the resolution did
not treat him right.
A motion' wus then made to refer
•tihe resolution to a special committee
of Investigation', and on being carried
Chairman Carling appointed as Iho
committee Aldermen Altmayer, Flnid-
•lay and Riley.
Alderman Altmayer moved to give
Bashlnski ten days m which ifco make
an appeml, but tho chairman ruled him
out of order on *^he ground that a res
olution could not amend an ordinance.
AMemnan Van, who had seconded the
resolution, appealed from the decision
of ‘the chair, and Chairman Carling
called Alderman Sperry to the chair.
The motion was ithen put again, and
Acting Chairman Sperry ruled the
same «b Chairman Carling. This set
tled 'the question, and Chairman Car
ling again took the chhlr.
Another motion was made to ad
journ, but Alderman Hill nipped it 4n
the bud by springing .nrocither but
somewhat similar question on the
meeting, and one -thalt is calculated to
givei tile people <soraethlng to talk
about for some time to come. The ai
der-man began by saying that he was
an unfortunate citizen who had his
name mentioned in an anonymous let-
'tor to Judge Freeman as one nt >x large
number of young men who frequented
a certain saloon on Sundays, election
days nnd after 12 o’olock at nfcghit.
"Now,” said he. “I would like <to ask
Chief Butner a <!ew questions, as so
much ha« been said here to-night.”
There was i*> objection r3lsed, and,
turning toward Chief Butner, who
stood u«. Alderman Hill said:
“Chief, did vou no»t toll me tint the
reason yen did no£ pull this hoa*» men
tioned in the letter wh^dh you saw was
becnuw> you had instniotlons from
>iAu.r Ikiss not to pull thti particular
house?”
Chief Butner—I do not remember to
have snld so.
•Alderman Hill—Did vmi nc't toll me
about s week ago. while I was with
a crew'd In frnut of Putzel's, that you
hud been told bv your boss not »to pull
one RM-tkyulir house?
Chief Butner—Oh! that was from n
lady. -
AAderman Hill—Bon't you remember
af>er teHlwg me I »Md for God’s sake!
whldh otats of your bosses told you
theft?
The chief Insisted that did not re
member. and Aldwmiiri HM1 deft’MM

asking him why he did not ei*iv». ««<*
^•he oeopHe whose nemo was mentioned
In tho awonymousi Wtor to Recorder
Frenmen, but the chief *aid no name
mentioned in the letter. AVtarnv'in
HM1 then stated to council that the
chief’s remarks oft tbn«t time st.mek
the crowd so forcibly that one ofl tihmn
pulled a momomndum book from his
Txxckft and took dcfwn whan he said,
the day flind oven tho hour. After
some further deousalon between Aider-
man Hill and the chief tbo mnitter
wna dropped, but before a motion
rould be made to adjourn Alderman
Van bobbed up and asked for perml*-
sfctn to ask the orlef a question. Ter
mission was given, end tie begin:
Alderman Van-Chief, do you remember
when two days before my ejection I spoke
to you about a certain place selling whis
ky on Sunday and you said you had in
structions not to puli that place?
Chief Butner—I do.
Alderman Altmayer then said be want
ed a general and sweeping investigation
made, as ho thought It was necessary
when two alderman had stated that the
chief had said he toCd them that ho had
instructions not to pull certain places

STEVENS COTTON LETTER.

I 0 *’, ^20.—A change of sentL
ment that acta tor th, advance more
than anything else. Private advices from
ar!r ( ^l‘n^l l -L i y* t n. hl>t i h ° f«P been
overestimated, that the large receipts
w * re n °t to a yield of unprecwlenfel
magr.Uude, but to a hurry of the crop
for _ reasons which we have frequently
txp.alned. Today there was In early de-

pool declined 2 to 3 points, then rallied
n ightly and closed quiet and steady with
sales of 10,000 tales at unchanged prices.
The receipts at the port# were 69,663,
against 63.343; thus far this week, 163,370,
against 196,7ri last week. Now Orleans
advanced 6 points. The exports from tho
ports today were 63,891. New Orleans ex.
K ta tomorrow 16.00# to 13.00# bales,against
It last week, 13.774 but year. South
ern spot markets were generally steady
to firm at unchanged prices. Memphis
declined 1-16 of a cent and 8L Louis ad
vanced H of a cent. Europe bought and
sold here, local and Southern operators
were buyers. 72re feeling among tho
sorts this morning was nervous. Tho
bulls insist that the present preo ds-
counts tho bearish conditions, nnd the
advance took placo n tho face of liberal
receipts. A decline In Liverpool nnd a
rumor that Nelli will Issue a bearish
statement tomorrow were against an ad*
wine. There was soxno outside buying
for long account. Many who were re
cently nhort have latterly taken the long
aide and there Is now a decidedly strong
disinclination to sell for short account
on tho ground that tho price la low, the
consumption Is large and that n good
rally would bo more than natural after
so long a period of depression.

The market showed so much stubborn

LAMSON BRO.’S GRAIN LETTER.
By Special wire to Lyon & James.
Chicago, Nov. 20.—Liquidation of long
wheat again depressed tho market. Ca
bles give no encouragement; in fact Now
York reports colling orders for both for
eign and continental account. There was
a good buying domnnd nt 60 cents, but
very little reaction was had. Clearances
continue light, being but 2GO.OOO bushols
of wheat and flour. Thero was considera
ble bull nows current, however, and al
though rvo material reaction was scored
the market was quite Arm at the decline.
Judicious purchases on theso declines are
Justified, we think. Receipts at primary
winter wheat points were but 107,000
bushols, against 850,000 last yoar. There
was a little bettor export inquiry at the
seaboard the latter part of tho session,
thlrty-thrco loads being token. This ap
parently acted ns nn offset to Dradstroet's
increase of 2,000,000 in tho world’s wheat
stocks.
Corn waa weak and heavy early. Tho
liberal receipts—742 cars—of which 83 worn
contract grade, being tho principal feat
ure. Trlmary receipts aggregated *20,000,
with 11,000 bushels shipped. There was
considerable covering of short contract*!
by a noted Arm. The market recovered
the oarty loss, later In the sosslon.
Hog product continues weak, scoring a
further decline of 15 to 30 cents. Heavy
receipts of hogs at tho yards continue a
weakening feature. Roports have it that
farmers in many sections aro rushing
their hogs to market, mnkln#. whatever
toy can got, as thousands died tho pout
week with cholera. Packers woro freo
sellers of futures, being principally liqui
dation of long contractu. The market
was steady at tho dccllnn.

GJIAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago, Nov. 00.—Holders of wheat had
less courage today even than ycBterday,
The shorts, with recollections of kint
week's strengt, wero timid and not dis
posed to press offerings very hard. The
uncertainty on both sides resulted in In-
activity and comparative quiet. The odds,
howevof, wero tn favor of lower prices,
and a not loss of % of a cent was made
SS 4 th * day* May tvhait opened from
WJE? tho range being between 60ft
to GOK, and the closo at COM. Cash wheat
was weak and 44 a cent lower.'
Corn was dull and easy during moBt
of tho session, but late in tho day an
early Ions wm recovered. May corn
opened at 49%, sold between 49 and 49%,
closing at the outside, ft of a cent higher
than yesterday. Cash com was weak.
N °* • *a** a full cent lower and other
cent M ahowe<1 a ,0,s,, ot from % to V*
Oats were steady even when tho other
displayed weakness. Tho renron
for the independence was not quite clear,
many bellevinc that the oatmeal trust
hud some part In It. Offerings wero light
and unimportant. May closed ft of a cent
hlghor than yesterday. Cash oats wero
steady to ft of a cent lower.
Provisions.—There was moro product
for into today than thero was demand
to absorb It. Tho preference for to set*
ling side was ascribed to a lower hog
market and to the sinking proclivity ot
grain. Business was of much less Ini-
portant character than In the Immediate
