THE COUNCIL MEETING.
An Uninteresting Session Held
Last Night.
The Last Action In the Cow Ordinance, and
the Bovine* Must go —The Members Wunt
the Board of Health to act in Public and
not Hold Secret Meeting*—Will They do
so or llesigii?
The city council met in regular ses
sion last night. There were present
Mayor Colson, Aldermen Ullnian,
Parker, Bostwiek, Atkinson, Madden
and Penniman.
The minutes of the last regular meet
ing were read and confirmed. This part
of the proceedings will be gratifying
news to the persons in favor of all cat
tle being penned, as the minutes of the
last regular meeting contained an ordi
nance to that effect. The minutes of the
called meeting were read and continued.
The trial of appeal cases was contin
ued.
Petitions being next in order a small
hatch was produced. A petition from
1). IT. Mann asking permission to trans
fer iiis license to Mr. Callahan, was re
ceived and granted.
The actions of the health officer in
detaining all vessels at quarantine was
approved, and it was resolved to sus
tain all lus future actions where it was
lieccessary for him to act under his own
discretion.
Tiie resolution passed by the board of
health in regard to employing a secre
tary and holding secret meetings, the
substance of which has been in The
Times was read and created some diseus
sio).
Alderman Ullnian made a motion to
the effect that City Clerk Nelson he re
tained as clerk of the hoard.
Clerk Nelson desired to be heard and
stated that it would be impossible, prob
ably for a month longer for him to at
tend the board’s meetings, if they were
held elsewhere.
Alderman O’Connor sustained Clerk
Nelson’s statement and desired to be
placed on record as bitterly opposing
tiie Board of Health holding sessions
where the public or newspaper men
would be omitted.
This roused Alderman Penniman, and
lie desired to know why the Board of
Health wished to hold secret sessions.
Alderman O’Connor stated that they
did not wish the public to attend every
meeting and offer suggestions as to the
best way in which they should act and
that he knew the members would re
sign before they would meet in public
session.
Alderman Penniman replied that they
could resign if they thought best as that
act was in their power, but he would
never consent for them to keep their
actions a secret. This was a center shot
and the question was called for. Upon
a vote being taken, it was unanimously
decided excepting the vote of Alderman
O’Connor that the clerk of the city
should act as clerk of the Board of
Health.
The action of the Board of Health in
promoting J. C. Oreen sanitary inspec
tor with B. A. Fatmi assistant, was
sustained. t
hr. Botsford’s resignation as a member
of the Board of Health was accepted,
and J. M. Dexter elected in his stead.
The communication of B. and D. B.
Atkinson to run a drain pipe was re
ceived and referred to the sanitary com
mittee.
On petition, certain members of the
Defiance Fire Company No. 5, were
declared exempt from taxation.
A letter to Messrs. Goodyear & Kay
from W. Scott West in regard to sew
erage, was read and received.
Mr. Edgar Dart appeared on behalf
of the Dixville citizens and requested
council to place two hydrants on Lon
don street. The matter, after some
discussion, was received and referred to
the committee with power to act.
The chairman of sanitary committee
called the council’s attention to several
•hanties in the city that were nuisances.
An ordinance was placed on its first
reading requiring owners of dogs to pay
a tax of $2 on each of same.
All accounts approved by the finance
committee on motion were ordered
paid.
Council then adjourned.
FIRE AT JESUP.
The Altamaha Hotel Destroyed—Loss
Estimated at SIO,OOO.
The Altamaha Hotel of Jesup, with
all its contents was destroyed yesterday
by Are.
The fire was first discovered about 0
o’clock and was burning on the outside
of the building, one part of which had
been saturated with oil, evidently the
work of an incendiary.
The building was a large double story
one and contained many rooms occupied
by boarders, the telegraph and express
offices and the joint ticket office of the
Brunswick and Western and S. F. & W.
railroads.
Everything in the building was a total
loss, nothing that was at all vuluable be
ing saved. The guests of the house bare
ly escaped with their lives.
The building was owned by the Plaut
System, and was valued at near $7,000.
The furniture and goods in it were worth
at least $3,000 making a probable loss of
SIO,OOO. It is safe to presume that it
was fully covered by insurance.
PERSONAL AND SOCIAL.
Mr. L. M. Lee, of Savannah, treasurer
of the Charleston and Savannah, B. &
W., and S., F. & W. railroads isjin the city
on a business trip.
Mr. M. V. Hughes, of Baltimore, who

the tourists as clerk of the Oglethorpe

MRS. BESSIE MILLER-pTOX’S
Rtoilal—The Ac.kmiwlcdgeii Event of
the Season.
The people of this city will have a
good opportunity of showing their ap
preciation of high art at L’Arioso Opera
House Friday evening. Kentucky’s
gifted artis Mrs. Bessie Miller-Oton,
will present a programme of costume
recitals, superior to any tiie people of
this city have had the pleasure of en
joying.
Mrs. Oton is naturally a gifted elo
cutionist and lias had the advantage of
best traning that could be secured and
after years of careful study she has be
come thoroughly proficient in her art.
Among Mrs. Oton’s selections for the
evening is “Little Mischief” a costume
recital that she presented at the last Y.
M. C. A. entertainment, the rendition of
which brought forth rounds of applause.
This is an opportunity that the public
may not have again soon of hearing one
of the finest elocutionist in the South,
or perhaps the United States, and they
should not fail to take advantage of it.
Of Mrs. Oton the Louisville Courier-
Journal says:
So spirituelle was her acting, so true
to nature all her gestures and facial de
lineations, that it was easy to image her
an artiste of long experience. Her
emotions all seemed to well up from her
own soul and take possession of the
character she impersonates.
THEY WILL CONTEST.
The Floyd Rifles of Macon Drilling
Nightly.
The Floyd Rifles of Macon held an
enthusiastic meeting at their armory
on Monday night and commenced their
regular drills, preparatory to entering
the St. Simon’s Encampment.
They will also enter the drill contest
at Macon on May 20, and will have the
advantage of drilling for that contest.
The drill team selected that night are
Sergeants T. C. Drew and F. Stewart,
and Privates Shirah, Mcßae, Parker,
Morgan, C. Stewart, Millirous, McGill,
Boler, J. Brown, Bittick, Callaway, G.
Davis, Sanders, Moore, Henry, Dunlop,
Hyman, Wood, Holmes anil Wilcox.
The Telegraph remarks that there is
a progressive element in the Rifles which
is seeking to restore that once favor
ite company its prestige in military cir
cles.
Whnt the County Needs.
Glynn county should issue bonds for
the purpose of raising enough to build a
decent court house and out of town
schools, and the city of Brunswick should
do likewise for the purpose of erecting
handsome school buildings and equipping
the same as well as a suitable city hall.
Is there no financier who can show us
the practicability of the plan? We sure
ly feel the necessity of these buildings.

THAT GREAT DAY
When all Shall pay the Last Trib
ute to the Heroes.
The Gravea of the Confederate Dead to be
Decked With Flowers by the Hands of
Noble Women —The Prop-amine for To
morrow’s Exercises—All the itusluesH
Houses In the City to Close.
Friday is Memorial day. No one
should forget it as it is only once a year
that they are permitted to pay their
respect to the dead heroes.
There is no one but whom can devote
a few hours once a year to the memory
of those who died in defending our
country.
And it is proper that all should attend
and take part in the Memorial exerci
ses. The Times hopes that every busi
ness house in Brunswick will close their
doors in order to give the clerks a
ehauee to join-if& procession.
As stated hi Voro-Uie Memorial address
will be made in L’Arioso Opera House
after which the procession will be
formed ana hiarcii to the cemetery.
Mr. A. L. Groover will be orator of
the day. lie will be introduced in a
few appropriai -e JTnarks by Mr. Edwin
Brobston.
Capt. Mallory P. King will be mar
shal of the day, as-isted by Messrs. 11.
11. Howard and 11. R. Hopkins. The
procession starting from tiie opera house
will in all probability be formed as fol
lows :
Atlantic band.
Public school children.
Brunswick Biflemen,
Light Horse Guards.
Mayor and council.
Orators of the day.
Ladies of the Memorial Association
in carriages.
Citizens in earrings.
After these all civic organizations
according to senority.
Owing to tiie great dust that will be
raised by the tramping of horses, Mar
shal King has decided to let the school
children go in front of them.
The line of march will be from Monk
to Newcastle, down to Mansfield, thence
out to the cemetery, where the pro
cession will form on either side the Con
federate graves, leaving space for the
children to go through and strew flow
ers. As they pass on other organiza
tions will follow until the Riflemen
arrive, who will close up and fire a salute,
thereby euding the ceremonies of the
day.
The programme as arranged, it is
hoped will be satisfactory and will be a
credit to the noble women who so well
care for the graves of the Confederate
dead.

CITY BREVITIES.
Flies are about.
Purasols are seen on the streets.
Excursions will soon be in order.
Straw hats are the popular headgear
now.
Fishing parties are frequent and num
erous.
The fever for bicycle riding has seized
the boys.
Stawberries are daily seen on the din
ner tables.
The indications for an unusually heavy
fruit crop this year are good.
People with weak eyes are anxiously
awaiting the street sprinkler’s arrival.
The Atlantic Band have promised the
public an open air concert this evening.
Let every one talk up the Y. M. C. A.
entertainment and make it a grand suc
cess.
The pionic season has been successfully
inaugurated, and pionics are daily tak
ing place.
Mr. A. A. Bubers, “Old Sergeant” of
Macon, is in the city on his way to
Fernandina.
Lieut. Charles Wood, of Macon, re
turned yesterday from a successful fish
ing trip up the river.
Mr. A. E. Wenz has started the founda
tion of a tabby building on Bay street
opposite the old custom house.
Sheriff W. H. Berrie left yesterday for
Jesup, where he will get a prisoner and
bring him here for safe keeping.
Blow pipes are coming into season in
the juveuille world and there is no need
to teach the young idea how to shoot.
The cemetery is taking on a beautiful
appearauoe, and on Memorial day it will
be one of the prettiest places in town.
These are the uncertain days just be
tween the two seasons. Tourist travel is
becoming spasmodic and faint and the
summer work is scarce begun.
The fine weather of the past month
has given the local weather prohets some
thing to talk about Borne predict a
long drouth, others an extended wet
season. Better to brace up and take it
as it comes.

A Mistaken Idea Corrected.
The public scent to think that the
Board of Health have stopped all bag
gage from Flordia from coming here.
This is a great mistake and tiie re
port should never have been started.
Mayor Colson received a telegram from
the mayor of Jacksonville, yesterday,
asking if a party of three from that city
would be allowed to pass through here
with their baggage, and immediately
wired back that nothing would be done
to prevent them from coming.
This surely 'ought to satisfy anyone.
Brunswick is not at all alarmed and it is
unfortunate that the report was started.
The Sunday School Convention.
The Sunday School Convention will
soon be here, atul ample' preparations
should be made for receiving the dele-
gates.
All the churches are interested in
this matter and tiie members should
not be backward in securing homes for
tiie visitors. The reception committee
are hard at work, but can accomplish
little without the help of others.
Brunswick lias a good name for hos
pitality, and it would blacken it forever
if a crowd of delegates were to come
here to a Sunday School convention and
not be provided with accommodation.
Carved Walking-canes.
Richard Purcell, a white prisoner in
the city jail, is occupying his. sparejtime
in carving neat walking-canes out of
old spade handles.
The carving is very good and shows
that lie lias some talent in that line.
Richard appreciates Jailer McDonald’s
kindness toward him, and to convince
him of that fact lie has presented hint
with one of the sticks.
The Hospital Association.
The ladies of the hospital association
are preparing a pleasant surprise for the
public on April 30, the opening night
of the “Carnival.”
TUe public may well watch for this
date, as the entertainment in store for
them will be appreciated when seen.
The Garbage Crematory.
Part of the stack for the crematory
was carted to the grounds yesterday and
the balance will be carried there to-day.
The work on the crematory has been
somewhat delayed by the stack not being
finished, but it is safe to say that the
first test of the first garbage crematory
erected in Georgia will take place in
Brunswick on Saturday next.
