Of this amount $25,000,000 was unavailable, being made up of fractional coin, so that all this money that would be reached under this resolution would be about seventy million dollars.

The saloous were voted out at the last city election, under the Slocumb law, and many cltizens who in dulge their appetite and wish to keep cool have been securing beer by the case. The custom grew to such proportions that prohi- bition was failing to prohibit, and the tem- perance council, in its narrow wisdon, assed an ordinance called “the gallon law.” 'Fhe provisions of this ordinance make it un- awful for any person to have in his posses- sion, at any one time, over one gallon of beer, liguor, ete. A large number of the good citizens concluded that this was carrying the question too far into Afriea, and proposed to celebrate the birthday of an ordinance so presuming and withal 8o virtuous. Aceord- ingly a wagon with a hayiack for a bed, drawn by four horses, was oceupied by the brass band, two large wagons filled with citi- zens, three buggies and a half-dozen horse- men formed a procession and, in the dark- ness of the night, marched proudly and grandly through the streets and avenues of the painfully pious town. Tiye band disconrsed music of soothing sweetness. The long_and solemn procession drew up {o the mavor's residence, stopped, and the fu- neral march was rendered inamanner so solemn and sad that the dous in thé immedi- ate neighborhood fairly howled.

A large crowd of curious citizens gathered at the court, house to-day to hear the testimony in the first ea: he police judge stated that any attempt to intimidate the court would be resented, and the county jail would be filled with loafers, were any attempt macde to fn- terfere—as he understood there would be.
