Alderman .fonea charged that the rallrond had been eold and all the In cal stockholders had been left out in the cold and he believed the property waa not serving the ends for which it had been given. At this statement City Attorney Wimberly asked to be heard and he spoke of the condition of the Macon, Dublin and Bavannah at preaent. He called attention to the time when the contract had been drawn, lie waa at the time attorney for the road nnd could not draw the contract. He believed the railroad wan perfect as far as the corporation waa concerned and aald with the city It had now come to the point aa to whether the railroad had direct nnd competing lines to Bavannah. He said this was the point of dispute and was purely a question of law. Alderman Chealney wanted to know whether the attorneys communicated with by Mr. Happ had stated poattlvely that the city had a case against tha railroad. Alderman Massee contended that the cltv had gotten a competing line to Bavannah out of the contract and he said that was all the city had asked. Alderman Jones was up and wanted the city to go forward with the case, lie sa<d the railroad had gotten all for nothing and the elty ought.to look out for Ita rights. Alderman Redmond wanted the city tn send the report of the special coni* mlttee to the railroad authorities and allow them 1R days to reply. His mo tion to this effect was voted down by eight membera against four. 1 The motion of Alderman Happ waa then put and was carried. This pro vided for direction to the attorneys In which they ar«* to be Instructed to communicate with the railroad and say that the dty Is now ready for a settlement. Rules for Next Year. The special committee on rules for the coming year made a report at the meeting and the rules were discussed This required A great deal of time and the membera of council engaged in warm discussion of the new ones. Alderman McKenna waa a member of thla committee and fought for the adoption of every rule. The rulea regarding time of meet ing and other matters were practi cally unchanged for the coming year* It waa upon the new* rules that the discussion became spirited. Alderman Massee wanted a member to be re quired to have two aeconde before he could call for the yeas and nays upon a question, but he lost In an effort to have this added to the rule*. Another motion requiring a member to have Alderman C. b. Lnmour Introduce t an ordinance at t.»o meeting of the ••tty council last night which If passed will require the Bnuthern railway an1 t.i* Macon, Dublin and Bavannah railroad to construct a viaduct within the n.vr six months at he entrance to Cenh.il City Park. The ordinance has beer under considera*Y,u some time ini *s a result of his up. r*elation of Ctitttvtl City Park Alderman Damour has tak en the present action. The ordinance was Introduced in* 1 read last night. It was not discussed. There was a motion from Aldermtn M-Henna which referred the proposed ordinance to ’he committee on ordi nances and resolutions. It Is to be re ported upon at n future meeting. The proponed o:finance Is as t 1- lows: 'Whereas, the tracks of the South ern Hallway Company, and >/ the con Dublin and Bavnnnnh La'ltoul Ccn.;u*ny or.

Phenomenal in Its Success and Unmatchable in Values Our sale of Ladies’ High Grade Suits, Coats and Fine Furs Continues As a result of late purchases, made af ter the manufacturer’s season was practically over, we procured hundreds of the newest and best style creations of America’s foremost manufactur ers at prices that enable us to offer values from one-fourtli to one-third better than can be found elsewhere. So potent are these values and so tell ing are they in effect that despite the greatly advertised reductions by other merchants this sale continues to hold the attention of the most critical and fyest dressed women of this section.

The high reputation of the man ufacturers, backed by their ab solute and unequivocal guaran tee on every Fur piece in the collection, and our own guarantee in addition—the won derful richness and beauty of the furs offered—their match less stylo and up to date character, stamp this sale as tho ovent of the season.

Ask for time. d«. 1 on* second 1*efore he could cnll for the yearn and nays was carried. Alderman Jones wanted to do away with the method of seconda to mo tions. A motion to strike tho require ment of a second to a motion was lost and a member making a motion will need a second before he can be heard. A member cannot apeak more than five minutes upon *ny measure and must not speak but once without per mission of the body. Aldermnn Jones opposed this rule and fought It strenu ously, but it {Hissed by a large vote. The committee had provided that all votes In election be taken by bnllot, but the body would not agree upon this nnd the new rule was stricken. Alderman Jones wanted to require the city attorney to iCJend meetings of council. He said It was neceqsary In order to keep pos*ed as to the busi ness of the city. After,some discus sion this motion wan lost. There was a strenuous effort to de feat tho new rule which provides for the fining of a member of council who is absent from a meeting without a good excuse. The new rule was warm ly discussed nnd a motion to strike It proved six In favor of its adoption and six against Its aloptton. This was not sufficient to strike It and tho motion was lost. laitcr nnother mo tion by Alderman Massee to strike this rule was again lost. Alderman Jones In referring to the rules regarding the heads of depart ments charged that the police depart ment was In such condition as to make It necessary to have the whole body deal with this department. He said that the gambling was still In prog ress In this city and that he knew of an Instance where 100 young men had been seen In an open gambling room In the past few days despite the fact that the grand Jury has been In ses sion for rome time, lie avid the ques tion had been put to one of the officials ns to whether a gambler could be caught at the present moment and the official replied that he knew where at the moment between five nnd nine could be captured, hut the official said he had no Instructions to make the raid and could do nothing. The rule* regarding the heads of. departments were not changed. Af ter a long discussion of the different new rules, It was decided to lay them over until the next meeting for final adoption. In the meantime they are to bo typewritten and **ach member of council la to have n sufficient knowl edge of them to pass upon the whole number at the next meeting. Watchman at Crossings. Alderman Massee Introduced an or dinance providing for watchmen at the different railroad crossing* In the dty Instead of bars or other guards. This ordinance, tf adopted, will require ail railroads to keep watchmen at the crossings where the danger is great est In the city. It was read and re ferred to the ordinance committee last night and will be further considered at a future meeting. There was some considerable dis cussion of a grade which had been made in front of Mr. Richard Kind- | lay's property on College street. He I had complained to council shout the [ condition In which hts residence had j been left after the grading had been j done. The matter was finally left to j the mayor who is to go out and ascer- I tain what the agreements were at the time the grade was made. He will I report the matter at the next meet- I Ing of coundL Alderman Jones was at a loss to | know what ahould be done with the I garbage of the city. He still complain- I ed of the trash in the rear of tht 1 rtsces of business and wanted some thing done. Alderman Sloan was also urgent upon this matter. There was no action, however, it being stated that special arrangements could be mads till the end of the present year.
