TOillGHT’S COUnCIl MEETING

lUtadlHg CimnltiiM for llw
KimhIbr Ye«r,
Great interest center* on the action
of council at its meeting tonight, and
there Jb much speculation a« to its
notion. It -will he the llrrft regular
meeting of the new hoard of aldermen,
nnd they will have their hand* full of
business.
To begin with, in addition to the
regular business proccodngs, the mayor
wll deliver his annual m cubage and an*
nounce hi* committet*. Then there ia
to be an election, or, rather, several
elections, for three commissioners—one
for the lire commission, to take the
place of Mr. T. C. Burice; ono for the
police commission, to take the place of
Mr. T. C. Hendrix a* police commis
sioner, and one to lako the place of
Mr. Lee iSl.'is tin public works com
missioner. Of these Mr. Ellis is the only
one eligible to succeed himself, and he
will, in all probability, be re-elected.
For the other two vacant; commission*
trsfclp* there Is likely and prolttbly will
be a hot contest. This will no doubt
take place in caucus previous to vho
meeting, however, end the public will
ek have the benefit of seelfig the fun.
Dot It la probable tbo/t the caucus can*
M or will not agree, and In fiuch
weet (he public will set the benefit of
comeet in open council. From
information as coukl be gathered
up t# ku sight. It is believed that no
kiwi of «grtvmnk. tun ns yet been
? the aldermen as to who
to fill the vacancies that
kM <f aarceo
resulted mmxig i
efl be elected t*
or et d«jr. j»-*J J ** created. Those of them who
ue to Lint efT-'oe before* a J «kre bee* asked about the candidates
■ errni lo be ftomewteit Jn the dark ns to'
•*•60 ihe candidates will be, but ft in
understood that ex-Aldcrmdn L. J.
Pinkier and Mr. W. R. Cox are both
undldetm for the vacant police com*
mMonenrtrip. So fur as known, Mr.
It H. Collins, who has also Jus*
aen'Cd a term as alderman. Is the only
announced candidJte for tho vacant!
fire commUtlonenshJp, and that Mr. El-
ila will be tbs cnly candidate to suc
ceed himself.
However, as a prominent city official
•aid yesterday, there nay be some great
surprises in store and there ore raid to
be a goodly number of dark horses neigh
ing la the stable.
besides the vacancies on tho commls-
M°n to be filled there nro four sanitary
Inspector* to be elected, and It Is said
there arc enough candidates for these
places to form a regiment. A clerk and
inspector of the market Is also to be
elected. The only names so far heard
mentioned in connection with this office
are those of Mr. W. T. Daniel, the pres
ent Incumbent, and Capt. II. P. Westcott.
Mayor Horne’s measnge Is expected to
contain somo things that will open the
eyes of the people If It docs not prove
to be considerably sensational. He Ih
at work preparing It, and tho fcnly thing
that will prevent him from rending it to
night will be the failure of Trcasuror
Tinsley, to get through With his report
of tho city’* finances, which, owing to tho
short tlmo between the Inst day of the
quarter, which was yesterday, and to
night, ho may not bo ablo to get roady.
It Is very probable, however, that the
statement will bo ready, ns Mr. Tinsley
will do overyfhlng In Ida power to get It
ready. Much. Interest la also being felt
In the committees which are to be an
nounced tonight, ns the work of council
for tho coming year depends In largo
nwnnuro upon tlio standing committees
of council.
Altogether a very lively and Intorestlng
meeting may be expected tonight.

Th<4itre*goors of Macon received with
pleasure The Announcement that the
R:tldwi>a-M<fivlllo Company would open
a five nights vng.vgoment nt Vhe-Acad*
cmy of Music during tlw.-t -week. None
of the theatrical cotmiv’unU's Which visit
tho Houthcrn cities are mors papular
t'htn the Uai«hvin»Mi*tvllle Company,
who, upon their merit, have buict up
u most awivWcnt rvpuUUon. ludot-d,
io the*one who takes interest tn iho^
thetrlcwJ mat lorn, there Jm much of In-
terev. in tho successful career of rhis
eompAAf. One great secret of tta suc
cess Is he fact that Mr. Waller S.
H.i-idwln, the -manager of the company,
Is MflftoUy frank vw» I honest in his
datllURH with the -theatre-iirolng pub-
llo and another very iminn-Unt thlug
is Hut he uudersUndJ wlxit pleases the
mater number o»f iheatre-goers.
Mr. Baldwin appears ‘OooAftonauy In
some of the p’atys >whteh his company
puts on. but but look** mainly after*
tho monegwrldl part of tho business.
Miss MolvDe. ihe Icvtding lady of
the company, is nn octree* who has won
feint. She !a an accomplished fix tress.
Mr. Harry 11. Ellis, the lea llitg man.
Is u hnix3-working and pleasing actor.
Mr. J aim's K. Nelson plays the heavy
parts, and "Theo" SUtrke, the oomedy
part, llln shinty a» a cOOMdlati is
not quoifilohcd. •
The other tntmbsrs of the company
are good In thoir |Kirts.
Tofoght tire five-act comedy drama,
"Tiu* UUok Flag," will be produced
and no doubt 4he Academy of Music
will be crowded to greet the popular
lislttwin-MelvSlo Compcuiy. A rshongo
of pny will be given each night dur
ing the engagement, udid Thursday and
tiAturday for l.whe* and children. The
prlcea for -the night perfomkUlcea will
be lb, 20 nnd 30 cents, and sea-ta can
be «'\»aerved at Ludden ^ Hates’ music
stx»rc wltboot extra charge. Tonight
ladle* will be udmlued fix'© If S‘.vom-
ptnled by a person with u paid 30 cents
ticket.
Yesterday Mr. J. Pannenberg, chair
man of the board of public work*, filed
a written prticst agulnst continuing
the work nows bdnii done on Tattnall
square.
The protest Tec*,*# tbbt the city's
flnabcos are In too bod a condition to
Justify further expenditures, and that
the city council had passed a resolution
wlilch prohibited any further work and
that the -work now undeT way was not
properly authorized—«the matter never
having been brought before the board
of public works.
Just what effect *he protest of Mr.
Dannenberg .will (have It Is impossible
to say. The protest will go before the
council nt its meeting tonight, nnd the
notion of that body alone stop the
work.
A Telegraph reporter coiled oh Mr.
Dannofiberg nt his residence on Geor
gia avenue lust night nnd asked about
the protest he hud filed.
"Yes, I have filed a/ protest against
continuing 1(he work," Hold he. "In
the first place, the question of Improv
ing Mercer park never came before the
board of public works, of which I am
chairman, ns Bhouldr-have been, the
cose, I knew positively nothing about
It until I returned from Atlanta. Sat
urday, And Sunday I wend out there
In person to see what had been and
was being done, and I ordered the work
stopped."
"To whom did you give the order to
stop the work, Mr. IXiunenberg f”
"To Mayor Horne. 1 met Mr. Horae
out' there and asked him abouii the
work, and he seemed to know little or
nothing about It. He seemed as much
surprised ut what was being dope as
I wuo. I said to him, 'This work must
stop,’ and he Bald, 'Well, let’s wait and
see wiut action the council will take.’
I understand Hhe work began again tp-
day, and I filed a written protest
against its continuance."
"Mr. Dannonberg, have you any oth
er objection to Uie continuation of the
work 7"
"Well, yes. To go back, on Aug. 27
a resolution was passed authorizing the
Improvement of tthe place, and the
matter rocked along until September
11, when Alderman Collins Introduced
and the council adopted a resolution
rescinding the action of Aug. J27. The
resoluton of Mr. Collins was to the ef
fect that ho new work should be com
menced until fufiUie-r orders, anti wo
have received no further orders. Now,
l am not opposed to nhy Improvements
that we can afford to make, but we
can't afford this right now." ■ > ..
"Od whose authority .was the work
commenced V"
"On tho Biy-.so or Messrs, Kill* nnd
Ware, I suppose. They didn’t tell mo
anything trboUc it. They have kept me
In the dark nl! along, and are’ having
the work done in opposition to ;he~ res
olution offered by Alderman CoUlns. I
was never consulted. They went <ahead
without me, und without bringing the
matter before the board. I urn in favor
Of letting all work out by contract
*when 1t Is done, and fiat's another
retflisofi I object to the work now.going
on—li'ft'day labor, and day labor costs
more than foutract labor."
"Can you anticipate the action of the
council?"
"I cannot."
It la pretty certain that there will be
nn effort mabd by the friends of th’e
Improvement to have the' council allow
the work to proceed. The changes have
been postponed for so long Chat now,
having been commenced, it 1* quite
likely, ns a prdmlneni: citizen remarked
last night, that a vigorous kick will bo
made If the work Is stopped. In the
meanwhile tho work is progressing
smoothly enough, and will continue to
d) flo until the council orders other
wise.

enthusiastic friends -wore fully realized.

applause, not anBy-from his own society,

be seemed in the happiest of moods.
His delivery was excellent while hte
diction was ornate and efloquenC. His
subject was one which had In it great
possibilities, and 4o say that he got all
out of it onOy does (the gifted young
gentleman Justice.
The music by the cofllego orchestra
