THE CITY FATHERS MEET.
Th« Water Tower Question Postpon
ed—Ordinances In Regard to
Sewere Adopted-Minor
Actions of Council.
The City Fathers met
»o et four o’<
I’elock
yesterday sf-
io celled w
ternooo
■Ion.
There were three importantquestions
to ha considered, and the council got
down to work la short order.
There were mom nt bit honor, Mayor
Brown, and Aldermen Taimadge, Orr,
Booth, Dorsey, Myers and McDowell.
The flrst matter taken under consid
eration was the question of condemning
the water tower as a nuisance. 'Ibis
matter has been talked about very much
of late, aiid the discussion has been
lively pro and con, but it has not yet
rescued any definite shape.
There are thoce who believe the old
tower should be torn down, but don’t
know where to place mother one, or in
what manner U> provide for the neces
sities of the rity in regard to a full and
complete water supply.
And then tbi* brings up the question
of the oily of owning and operating it*
own waterworks system. So the coun
cil decided to postpone their action on
this matter until the next regular meet
ing. And then it will be decided as to
wliat.sLall be o e * i h the w iter tower
in* *kwicks.
The sewers, hAing been completed
in oue section of the city, it becant
necessary to provide an ordinance in
regard to their use by the citizens
Tile city attorney had drawn up an
ordinance iu regard to tbt> matter, and
su'imitted to thecoaneil. On motion it
was adopted with slight amendments.
Tlte general provisions 01 the ordi
nance were directory of the use by the
citizens of the sewers now* completed
and those to be completed in the future,
and prescribing a penalty fot the viola
tion of any of its pares.
TIIKCITT BONDS.
The city clerk reported that he hod
yet. received no bids f->r the bonds of the
city to lie floated on July 1st. This
was due to ‘he shortneasoi the time fur
which they have been advertised
Alderman Hodgson, now in New
York, will doubtless succeed in getting
splendid bids lor the bonds.
The I Kinds are floated at 4)4 per cent
iuterest, and iuii lor thirty years
They are issued in bonds of the de
nomination of $1,000 each, and the flrst
series to t>e issued on July 1st. 1891, is
composed ol $115,000 of street improve
ment bonds and $25,1)00 of sewer bonds.
The other $25,1100 of street improve
ment. bonds wilt be floated on January
1st, 1802.
. The general and, indeal, the unani
mous opinion ol the oi uncil is that the
bonds can lie sold at par ut4>£ per cent.
The money will be paid over on July
l.t and work will be commenced atooce
on the streets.
The committee, to whom the sale of
the bonds had been intrusted, were
granted furthur time to complete their
work.

fully realising the gnat benefit con

Yesterday was a day of days for the
celebration. A holiday was declared
and the young ladies spent the day in
preparing for a grand rally ho ride in
the afternoon.
A ter dinner, the taliytio drovi up,
w.a tilled with the young ladle.; and
started for Mitchell’s Bridge.
To nay it was a delightful drive ia to

least, so the writer is i formed.
About dark the party returned to the
Instillte, and the young ladies were
inhered in to the pleasures of a sump

the occasion.
Mirth and merriment prevailed
around the board, and the early hours
of the sveniug were .pent most pleas

After the feast had been finished the
young ladies closed up the enjoyment
and pleasure of the day by recounting
among themselves the interesting in

The Georgia Railroad -Commission is

discussing the advisability of adopt!"?
a uniform passenger rate of 2c per

roads will of course regard this proposed
reduction as inimical to their intereot*,
but the people are unanimously in favor
of it and it is quite probable that this
rate will he established by the commis
sion. There can hardly be a doubt that
in the end it will prove as beneficial to
the interests of the railroad companies
as to the traveling public.
The redaction will not be in the i
ture of an experiment, for the experi
ment has already been made on the
Western A Atlantic railroad by Mr.
Joseph M. Brown, and it was amply
justified by results. One of the* results
was a large increase in the income of
the road from this source.
This is the matter which the railroad
commission has control of. and it
should at once take steps to reduce the
passenger rate (o 2 cents. ▲ uniform
rate would work well to all parties con
cerned. It would be easier on the trav
eling public, while it wonld be to the
decided financial inte>est of the rail
roads by greatly increasing travel,
which increase we doubt not would
more than offset the reduction in
rates.

1'ree Silver.
Nashville, May 15.—The second an-

rs’association is in session, with over
dfty bank officials present, representing
all the important towns in t^e state.
Tbe address of welcome was delivered
by Hoih. Lewis T. Baxter. ■ . «.
President Porter said that great care
should be exercised in choosing the ex-
•cutive council. He thought the silver
question would lie avoided by both the
great national parties. The question of
axr.tiou, however, was mo.it important.
l‘be day wat> uot fur distant when banks
wonld lie heavily taxed, both ad valorem
and privilege tax.
John R. Godwin, of Memphis, rend a
paper, strongly advocating the free coin
age of silver, on the ground that it
would cause prices of farm products to
advance iu price.
The subject of taxation was discussed
at the afternoon session. CoL S. A.
Champion, of Nashville, said that while
the banks were taxed upon 90 per cent,
of their par value, real estate and other
jperty escaped at an assessment of
iin 25 to 60 per cent. Some action
should be taken towards semiring more
equitable assessments.
The association will continue in ses
sion for several days.
A GOLDEN DREAM.
Silvery On*
That Turned Oat to lie
Indeed.
Roue, Ga.. May 15.—A silver mine on
Hogg mountain, about a mile and a half
from Rome, is claimed to have been
found on the land of Mr. J. M. Wimpee.
While Mr. George Wimpee, a son of f
J. M. Wimpee, was prospecting for iron
ore he discovered a cave. Farther in
vestigation disclosed that the bottom of
the cave was lined with a brittle, tyhite
metal. Specimens were taken ont, and
what seemed to be silver in its native
state was discernible. Mr. Wimpee has
not yet had an analysis made of the ore,
but from mineralogists to whom sam
ples have been submitted, their opinion
is that it is silver.
Mr. Wimpee, Sr., it is said, dreamed a
short time ago that gold was in his
mountain. Acting upon this present
ment, he began to search for the pre- •
-t.-vtrit ki vain, for
m
Aims metal, but be looked it, vain, for
no trace could be found.
Young Mr. Wimpee began to prospect
shortly after, and dug into the hillside.
After going down in the ground for
some distance the earth caved in, and in
a hole, or cave, he found himself. Here
tbe silver was found.
