The public] the father of Mr. Will Carter, of the F loat #50,000 of Bonds, Other Local Notes, Several ministers of the city met at Mayor Lang's office yesterday after- noon to see the mayor about the building of a new house by Madame Mollie Neif, at Ninth and Court The old house that stood there has been torn down, and anew one to cost $2,500 isto be erected, The ministers asked the advice of the mayor relative to restraining the con- struction of the building until the injunction suit now pending in the court of appeals is settled. As will be recalled, two or three years ago respectable residents of the locality took out an injunction against Madame Neif, asking that she be en- joined from longer maintaining 9 bawdy house at Ninth and Court Streets, alleging it to be a nuisance, and a detriment to the community. After bitter fight, Judge Bishop granted the injunction, but the case was carried to the court of appeals, and the latter has not decided it. The ministers thought that perhaps if the house was to be rebuilt for im- moral purposes, the mayor would co- operate in restraining its construction until the case now pending is settled. The mayor informed the reverend gentlemen that he had it from good authority that Mrs. Neif is building the house for a railroad hotel, The ministers also mentioned other matters, but none of particular im- portance. The most important mat- indications are that it will be defeat- ed, as Mr. Davis, who was given the place on trial, has given perfect sat- isfaction. | Pres. P. E. Hays, of Pawtucket, R. 1., of the Cohankus company, which is shortly to open up here, ar- rived last night to complete arrange- ments, Mayor Lang has issued instructions to the night police to keep careful surveillance over the suspicious re- sorts scattered about the city, espe- cially on North Ninth, Tenth, Elev- enth and Twelfth streets, The keepers of these alleged im- moral resorts cannot be convicted of keeping bawdy houses, in the opinion of the mayor, but can be punished for running disorderly houses. These resorts are considered far more dangerous and demoralizing than the more publ FINED FOR WIFE-BEATING, ter, however, was the bawdy house question. One of the ministers made a good suggestion in which Mayor Lang concurs, This was to concen- trate all houses of this kind in some remote locality, and give them police protection, since they cannot be wiped out entirely. Mr, J. G. Schillenberger, of the big steel plant at Bloomington, IIl., who desires to remove the plant to this place, has indited another letter to the mayor, He desires the city to float $50,000 in bonds a3 an inducement for him The mayor will write in reply that the city would first like to know what it is floating bonds for before it un: dertakes to float{auy.

There are only a dozen or two who have persisted in their failure to settle up with the city, and they will be re- quested to call on Judge Sanders next Saturday, along with 63 saloon keep- ers warranted for selling on Sunday, and several others. Coroner Phelps has been indispos- ed for several days, but nevertheless manages to visit his down town head- quarters every day. Councilman J. S. Jackson is able to be out after a brief indispos and Councilman J. M. Ezell is dis- abled by rheumatism. Mayor Lang says he has a hard time proving that he is mayor. Yesterday he was seated in his of- fice at work, with no one inside but a friend, when a rap at his door prompted him to turn and respond ‘Come in!’” A man whose face was familiar, but whose name was forgotten, en- tered, and, sfter greeting the mayor, turned to the other gentleman, and speaking to him, looked around sus- piciously a moment or two, then beckoned him outside. After reach- ing the hall and closing the door, the stranger inquired of the man who was sitting in the office: “Say, is that Mr. Lan “Yes,’? was the repl “What! Mayor Lang?” “Yes, Mayor Lang.” “You're right certain, are you?” “Perfectly certain.”” ‘All right, then,’”’ he concluded, with a satifactory nod, as he re-en- tered the door, and this time greeved the mayor as ‘‘Mayor Lang.’’ James Dickerson, the huckster who was prostrated at one of the wagon yards last week and carried to the city hospital, has recovered, and was today discharged. Dollie Whitehurst, a girl, was yes- day sent to Mayfield by Mayor Lang. She applied to him for transportation and was sent away On the late after- noon train, Work on the big sewerage trench on South Third street is progressing slowly.

Harry Brantley, a pastry cook at the Palmer house, was arraigned in Judge Sanders’ court this morning on & charge of whipping and otherwise mistreating his wife, Nellie Brantley. The couple came here from Nashville and reside on East Monroe. It appears Brantley was under the influence of liquor yesterday, and abused her at various times until she could stand it no longer and last night went to Judge Sanders’ resi- dence and swore out a warrant. Brantley submitted the case and was fined $20 and costs and rec nized in the sum of $200 for his good behvior for one year. This was the only case ready for trial this morning, and the spectaters left looking disappointed. Brantley seemed displeased that he should be recognized for his good be- havior, and asked Prosecuting Attor- ney Campbell what right Judge San- ders had to recognize him. ‘The attorney replied that he didn’t know, but that Judge Sanders recog: nized bim just the same, RIVER NEWS.

Stayed SeveraljNights at a House, He Wore Trousers Under Dresses, andia Wig. An old woman named Webb, who resides on Husbands street, reported @ mysterious case to Officer Tom Orr today. She said that several days ago a person attired as a woman came to ber house and claimed to be amissionary. She carried a Bible with her, and ordinarily talked as a woman, but first aroused suspicion by occasional slips, when she talked coarse as a man. She carried a ladies’ reticule con- Stantly, Its contents were never re- vealed, but it was the first thing seen in her hand in the morning, and the last thing at night. She would not retire until everybody else had gone to bed, and then removed her cloth- ing with the utmost care. She al- ways placed the reticule on her shoes under the bed at night. Close vigilance revealed the fact that the strange individual wore a wig, beneath which could be seen the patches of short hair. The day she left she raised her dress when she buttons of her trousers were visible. Why the unknown man is mas- querading a8 a woman is unkuown, unless it is some fugitive from jus tice. ‘The missionary said she would be back today, after sl from the depot, be arrested.
