"The bill is not intended to affect the heads of de partment* and other leading city officiate," •aid one of Its* most determined advocate* and barker* yeatarday. "It applies to mi nor appointment a a'tmmt entirely. Why •houid the Council be put to the trouble of electing a clerk of the mark* t. a messen ger of council, a keeper, of laturei Grove Cemetery and tilling other minor office* of this* sort?

"WIU these people have th** same Incentive to get out and bustie after they had been securely fixed | In their Job*?” "Were we all born In Pinkie or are we j candidates for th* lunatic asylum?" ex claimed the politician In scorn. "Are we here for our health? Well, not much. Co der this bill the Hf tlon of city officer* and the appointm nt* by the Mayor w ill not tak* place until after the city elec tion has b*-en held As tire present coun cil remains In office for some two week* after the city election this can easily be done.

This very dear explanation of the bill will doubtless Is* satisfactory to a good many people. Hill) there arc some other explanations offered of the motive behind the bill.

For t*lng forced to undergo Jail .'onfltiemmt to which experience such a mob furnished an accompaniment. F T Sul lade wants 515.0U0 damage* form W. C Wylly, a merchant of Darien, Haliade sets out In his petition to the I‘nited B.ate* Circuit Court that at the mst teat ton of the defendant he was ar rested and commit©*! to Jail and thcr**sct n- I fined during the ilmr that the mob of ne groes uiw-nibied lb Darien for thf* purpo*© of releasing Henry Ikdeg.il. then under arrest fvr an alleged assault on *a wh.te woman of Mclntosh county.

When th** trouble began to brew, he was selling clocks an*) other article* In Darien, not delivering them actually, but taking orders for their delivery, which were filled from K insas City til* the house h© rt pres- nted. lie was not a peddler, so he requests be understood, but a drummer While engaged In 4 this business he re ceive*! an Invitation to call upon the *le i fendant. wbi *h he accepted. The lf©nd i am toid hi ft that he was doing t!n** ns a peddler In Darien, without the formal ity of paving the license which the town exacted for this privilege. The plifii.t ff explained that this was an error; he was tan a peddler, as he dtd not deliver th* goods when sold, but merely took order* tor their delivery. He claims to have i*olut*d out to the defendant that It was not legally possllde for th** town to ?e --qulre of him the payment of a license, as to nwik© such a requirement would la* In .ffect an Inter* ference with Interstate ommerce. not • <*unten.inc*d by the con stitution and laws of the United Hiates. He claims to have directed the def**n*lant's attention to numerous decisions of th* courts, among them gome from the Su preme Court of Georgia, in which this usually well-understood principle of law Is clearly laid down and explained. Notwithstanding, he was arrested upon a warrant sworn out by Wylly before Magistrate A 8 Way. Brought before the magistrate, he was given a prelimi nary examination ami. despite his exi*s toi.ition*, was committed to Jail. In de fault of ball, for the alleged offense of clocks without a Ik'.'wc. He was a stranger In Darien ami therefore unable to secure a bondsman, for this rr.imn >M?lng compel, ed to remain In Jail until lie could communicate with his hou**e and have money sent to him.

He piM the horse to a good speed and came of a rapid gait down Drayton street, narrowly misXTng an ice w.igon. and. in fact, several other vehicles and animals.
