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 has been held In the past, hut list 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.

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: - isjt,ya—-Aldermen Vin, Col.ins, jiur lev.

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 tfie comrerKition s-nd Hold him about 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.

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.

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. Lameon Bros. & Co. GJIAIN AND PROVISIONS.
