The board of fire and police commissioners met in reguiar session last evening with ail mermbers of the board present excevt Secre- tary Smith, Before taking up the regular business of the meeting, the members, as a license board, took up the matter of C.G. Rapy, a aruggist at Twenty-fourth and Clark streets, being charged with doing al- most & saloou business in _the liquor selling hoe. Rapp came forward and denied the accusation, saying that he never sold liquor except by - prescription. Mrs. John E. Nixon, who lives 1 the vici ity, said otherwise, and her husband, Wwho is a motor car conductor, tried to sub- stantiate the position taken by his wife by producing sa bill rendsred by Rapp, which contained various items reading “Merchun~ dise, 25 cents,” ete., whicli ho said stood for whisky by the drink and bottle. Nixon said he gov hot when Rapp rendered the bill, and 80 did his wife, and that Rapp pushed her out of the store. ' Nixon also testified to hav- ing drank liquor a long time and to having been in Rapp's store in a drunken condition. Rapp 0la the board that he never used any force whatever with Mrs. Nixon. He said she came into his store by the back door, and in a bowsterous way declarea that she would pay “that whisky bill,” but it was the last one she wouid ever pay. He toid her it was no “whisky” bill. and that she must leave his store, and finally she did leave, after considerable toud talk. Rapp also testified that Nixon told hun in the presence of his (Rapp's) clerk that he had a way by which be coud and did “knock down” $ from the motor company, and that a friend of his (Nixon’s) was going to show hin how 10 fix his bill punch so he could knock down $10 a day. Rapp then produced a number of citizens who testified to his honesty, in- tegrity, ete. Liquor licenses were granted to the follow- ing parties: George . Harris, 103 Eleventh strect, saloon; R. Blouse and K. M. Ross, I Luke street: S. k. Howell, 2026 Leavenwor! street; S. S. Lanyon, 2506 Farnam street, saloons. Coming to fireand police matters, the board first considered a charge against Officer Allen of going wnto s livery barn at 2 o'clock on the morning of February 18 and remain- ing there halfl an hour, Allen came to the front and said that he did go into the stable, and sitting down by a stove he fell asleep, as he had been sick for a week and should -not bave been on duty at Officer O'Brion was also chargod with golng into a livery stable and staying half an hoar at 2 a. m., February 1. He faced the board and gravely announced that he was in the barn at the time charged, but remained only twelve minutes, just long enongh, he said, to chunge his socks, as ms feet had become wet by tramping around in the damp snow. Before the commissionors could get their faces straightened out O'Brien contin- ued with, “and along came Rounasman Shoup, jumped on me roughshod, and said he heard me snoring a block away." The police sick report, for ths month of February, ot interest to nobody in particu- lar, was read and placed on file. 1u showed a total of 141 days’ service by the force.

Peter Goos presented an offer of a building at Fifteenth and Jackson, with accommoda- tions for juil, patrol barn, ete. It was sug- gested that the matter be referrea to tho committee on builmngs. *Why not refer 1t to the chief!" askea Mr, Bennett. *“I'nat’ll be no use,” said Mr. Hartman, “The chief has already reported on this sub- ject. He made his report to the newspaper men before he did to this board. These newspaper men have a winning way avout them, and seem to get more out of the chief of police than we can.” ‘Lhe proposition went to the committes on property and buildings. In the executive session of the board a license was granted Jucob Ruppke for a sa- loon at 1002 North Sixteenth street. Officer Allea wus fined three day's pay and Officer O'Brien ono_days’ pay for infringement of some of the police regulations. For several years past J. C.

It Eas Caught the Progressive Spirit of the New South, A CENTER OF RICH RESOURCES. Surrounded by a Country Filled With Coal, Iron, Marble and Copper— A Futare Manufacturing Metropolis. Has Caught the Spirit. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., March 1.--- [Special to Ti «]—As the purpose of this series of letters is to call atten- tion to the industrial development of the south and the new towns of this sec- tion, Chattanooga must first be touched on because she is the center of southern development in mining, manufacturing and the building of new cities. She is headquarters for all the **boomers place where “'syndicates” are formed and the big deals are brought to light. At the Read house, the Southern and the Stanton, the clans gather and maps of towns, of counties and of states are shown and samples of nearly every known mineral are stuck at the weary travele On every hand one hears ‘conl,” “iron,” “timber,” “new towns.” “‘new railrouds,” new schemes and new inventions, Stock companies are formed on a large scale, and to talk of less than a million spots you as a stran- ger and to be pitied. One soon learns, and no one can spend amonth here and not got into several gigantic opera- tions. While much of this is on puper and nover materializes, there is a great deal accomplished. Taking Chattanooga as a cenver and drawing a circle with a radius of 100 miles, 1t will include most of the new towns that are now being boomed, and in the area wiil be found the most won- derful mineral region on the globe. Every one of her many railroads running north, east, west and south pass through beds of coal, iron or marble and copper. The country too is well timbered, well watered and has a most genial and salubrious climate. This cityisdestined to be the commercial center of the greatest manufacturing district in the world, for the agricultural resources of the country can support the largest ponulution” that was over known to dwell in the same area. The Tennessce valley alone would support a_continent. It has taken the world a long time to find out thatin this beautiful country with its balmy climate, there is not only the cotton crop, the oats, wheat, rye, corn, fruits asd flowers, and fine forests of timber, but the best and larg- est coul fields on the great earth. It is not alone 1n the busy, progres- sive present, in the alluring possibili- tiesof the future, that this city and neighborhood attracts the thoughtful observer. Its past is richin legendary, historic and heroic interest. Linked with the mighty red men, who have lelt their impress in the melodious names, as soft a8 running waters, that still remain a haunting memory, con - nected with the doughty pioneers who followed them, and coming down tothat neaver age of heroes, the tragic days of civil war, this section has everything to command the attention of the poet, historian and the lover of the fame of modern chivalry, Close by runs the Chickumauga, that “‘river of blood” with its hard fought battle-field, near too, is the spot where General Hooker fought the famous **Battle Above the Clouds,” in sight are the places occu- pied as headquarters by Generals Grant, Bragg and others. ~Missionary Ridge sweeps around the city. In a short drive one reaches the solemn city of the national dead, where can be read the pathetic inscription **Here Rest i Peace 12,056 Citizens who di in the yeurs 18 o Where a grateful nation has with lavish outlay enshrined all that was mortal of 1ammortal heroes. The picturesque environments of this vast and beautiful city are no less marked than the historicclaims. Lying between the two majestic mountain ranges of Miassionary and Waiden's ridges, its situation is peculiarly strik- ingand imposing. Grand old Lookout keeps watch above it with its noble point, and many features of unique in- terest, its broad gauge railroad, its won- derful 1ncline, connecting with a nar- row gauge railroad, and its five commo- dious hotels. Seme idea of the improve- ments and the importance of Lookout may be gathered from the announce- ment that a traveler can take a sleeper at Jersey City and without change alight on the top of Lookout mountain, There is no spot on earth that affords a more magniticent and far-reaching view than ‘“the point” of Lookout mountain. The Tennessee river (tra quil waters) winds at the foot, with its weird, moceasin bend, which makes a water-loop of many miles, the land space being only one mil in width. Fold upon fold of mountain ranges join each other in purple and misty blue reaches, productive valleys lie between mountain streams, as pale-green us shals low seu water, flash out in the sunshine, Three staies, Georgia, Alubama and Tennessee, lie in sight, red lights and clouds of smoke rise from count- less furnaces and blasts, and Chat- tanooga, the suberb, 18 dwarfed in the distance to a small manufacturing vil- luge, But she has a chance to redeem herself, from the vantage ground of Cameron Hill, a noble level spur that uts up within her very borders and eing conuected , with the city by a short incline road is easy and rapid of ascent. It is from thiy place nature’s own lighthouse that the city is scen at her best. Stately churches, public buildings, businoss blocks rise on every side, wide streets’ and avenues are beautified by costly and avtistic homes, the ridges, natural tervaces, are the favored homes of a modern race of cliff dwellers who appreciate the picturesque and healthful features of -their air, uations. Railroads, street car i electric tracks. dummy lines .sti out all directions, miles upon miles, as thiekly as the fibres and veins in a ieaf and link the city with beautiful suburbs; Ridgedale, 5t. Elmo, Sherman Heights, Lake View snd other aristo- cratic dwelling places: and in the even- ing glow that mellows distance there seemns 1o be across the river many more cities. They are the palisadesof the mountain ridges, that in the illusive lLight, take on the fashion of grund temples, shrines, palaces, cities of dreamland, dissolving views of tower- ing “houses not built with hands.” The daily registers at the hotels show people from every state in the union, and & number of northern and eastern stutes have made townsof their own; even little Delaware has come to this country, and has built a city. Politics are about evenly divided, and it is close between the parties, but building cities, ning mines, erecting furnaces and planning lines of railroads leaves no time for other things. The Teunessece is the largest and longest river in the state which it crosses twice * * * The stream is the same leugth and volume as the Ohfo, with a much more stable bottom and more permanent banks, It is 1,000 miles long and its naviguble branches furnish 1,000 miles additional naviga- tion for light ft.

He Murders the “hild Who was Se« Tected to Succeed Him From Fresno, Cal., comes news of the arrest for murder of Little Dick, chief of vhe Mill Creek Indians. who have their home in tne hills about four miles from Sunger, says a San Francisc special to the Chicago Tribune. crime for.which this chieftain was rested is unprecedented in the annals of Indian history, and develops the fact that the-red men have their Richard Thirds as well as English-speaking peo- ple. The victim of this Gloucesterian Indian was a little sehild of four years called Cleveland, in honor of the ex-president. The indians of the band had taken a great fancy to Grover's juvenile namesalke, and often expressed u desire to have him succeed to the eap- taincy of the band, which numbers about five hundred souls, upon the re- linquishment of the position by Lattlo Dick. This proceeding completely ignored the claims of Little Dick’s fivst born, who under tribal laws governing ceessions was entitled to step into father’s shoes of command. This prejudiced Little Dick'smind, and he resolved to rid himself of the boy who would usurp his son’s rights as captain of the band and chief of the council, so he poisoned a biscuit and gave it to Cleveland, who died half an hour aftor he ate it. Little Dick is atso charged with threatening to poison other *member: of the tribe. The warrant was issued by Justice Walton of, Sanger and Con- stable Hill brought the murderer into Fresno yesterday. e e Decidedly Paternal, The German government has recenty been guilty -of an extraordinary piece of grandmotherly interference in busi- ness matters which is sorely exercising the minds of the Berlin financiers, says a Berlin letter. There has been a rapid rise in mining and coal securities here lately, and many orders have been re- ceived by metropolitan bankers to buy shares on behalf of their clients. The emperor thinks, however, that this en- courages o kind of speculation against which every respectable bank should set its face. Accordingly an official has Dbeen placed in each of the principal financial establishments of the city to prevent the execution of any orders on behalf of clients.
