THERE HAY BE SOME AHCSEHENT layar II.ary liar.. Will Baa* HUPInt Anwvat »h4 Arhoum tk« 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. fWhttfe total 1*2 Colored nw Ira... »• ’Ji?

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. NEW XMAS GOODS ARRIVING.
