There is a great deal of important business to come up before it, among which is the matter of a new telephone franchise. It is that the committee is op: posed to granting one, one reason being that there are enough poles in the city now. There is also to be introduced an ordinance providing for tapping the sewers, It does not require anyone to tap the sewers when they are finished, but simply prescribes the method. A member of the sewerage com- mittee stated this morning that it was bis opinion that about thr of the citizens of Paducah tap the sewers as soon as possible, and are only waiting for authority. He also said that in his opinion there would be passed by the council no ordinance making ft imperative to tap the sewers, He said that such an ordinance would be necessary at some future time, but he did not think that it was advisable to pass it so soon after the citizens have to pay for the sewerage itself. He wants to give them all more time. He said that this was the opinion of the en- lire committee, and that the ordin- ance alluded to may not be passed for two years. The matter of free ferriage will also come up. A committee was appoint- ed at the last meeting of the council to consider the matter, and it is un- derstood that nothing will be done in this connection. The committee's re- port will be immaterial. Mayor Lang, while claiming to be a free ferriage man, that under the charter, all expenditures by the council have to be provided for in the annual levy, and none has been made in this year’s levy for ferriage, and consequently none can be provided by the city. The most feasible plan, according to the mayor, would be to employ the Messrs. Owen to run the ferry. At any rate there will be no free ferriage thi here is to be introduced in the council tonight for the first time, an ordinance making it unlawful for a man to solicit trade on the streets of Paducah for any store, or other es- tablishment, without first paying a license. The license is fixed pretty high, it is understood, at about $50. This is to rid the city of the class of men who are sometimes known as “hookers.’’ There are vot s many now as there used to te. Tonight Officer Mike Dugan, of the night force, will be appointed to succeed Officer Tom Orr, of the day torce, the appointment to take effect at once. Mr, Dugan went to work today, He has been on the night force for several months past, and has made an excellent officer. He was next in line of promotion, and received the appointment on this ac. count, Officer Dugan's place on the night force will probably be filled by Mr. Bob McCann, formerly yardmaster at the union depot, who has lately been doing special police work, Mayor Lang today received at his office a handsome life-size portrait of ex-Mayor Johnson, which will be hung in the council chamber with those of the other ex-mayors. It is an excellent likeness of Mr. Johnson City Attorney Lightfoot, who has been ill for several days past from an k of malaria, was out today, will be at the council meeting A SUSPECT.

The matter was at once reported to Marsbal Collin soon had under arrest two suspects, one of whom gave the name of Fred Meyer, of Springfield, Ill., aud the other that of John Douglas, whe came from New Orleans. Both men, when locked up, told Lockup Keeper There were several counterfeit halt dollars passed on street car con- ductors yesterday, one being passed on Ed Long.

Mrs. Maude Hall Ends Her Young Life by a Dose of Lauda- num—Lived 12 Hours After Taking It. Domestic Trouble Is Supposed to Haye Prompted Her to Com- mit the Deed— Was Former- ly Miss Maude Burch, A young life was ended this morn- ing at 5:15 o'clock when Mrs. Jobo Hall, formerly Miss Maude Burch. died trom dose of laudannm, tak it is believed, with suicidal intent, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs, R. A. Burch, who keep the West Broadway house at Broadway and the rail intersection. Yesterday afternoon Mrs, Hall se- cured the horse and phaeton, and It was duriog the rain, and the family attempted to dissuade her from ber purpose, but She insisted that she had important business and went, despite rain and remonstrance. Going to a drug store not far away she purchased an ounce of laudanum and when asked what she wanted with so much, replied that she want- ed it for bowel trouble. Nothing was said to excite the suspicion of the druggist, and she was sold the deadly drug. After reaching home, she shut the door to a small room and took half the bottle of medicine in a glass, She was seen by ber mother, who ob- serving the empty glass, asked her what she had taken, and the reply was, ‘‘Chamberlain’s Colic Rem- edy.’’ As she had been complaining of pains in the stomach that after- noom, her statement was readily be- lieved. She aid down and her mother afterwards return- ed to the room and asked her how she felt, but she gently asked her to ‘‘go out.’” At was about 6:30 o'clock that she was seen with the glass, and about 10 o’clovk her husband went to the se Jobn Rogers, of the county, charged with malicious cutting. It was con- tinued. The next case on the docket against Sam Franke, charged witb grand larceny, ere was considerable difficulty this morping in getting a petit jary. Ten were excused out of the first panel, and the others were summoned to appear this afternoon, when the jury was finally made up. Miss Alma Greer, formerly sten- ographer for Attorney John G. Mi'ler, today accepted a position as sten- ographer in Circuit Clerk Hobson’s office, and began her new duties at once, J. W. Perkins, gi th nitentiary for grand larceny, is a visitor at the county jail, He was brought in this morning from Eddy- ville to testify in the Franke case, and will be here until the case is tried or continued.

He could not arouse her, and in alarm, physicians were summoned, In short time Drs. Murrell, Stewart and Eubanks were there, and did all in their power to save her life, but in vain. She never regained consciousness and died about o'clock. It is thought that the case is un- doubtedly one of suicide, Mrs. Hall had been weeping from some unknownause during the afternoon, and seemed very much depressed in sprits. If she had any domestic unpleagantries, they were not known to be of a serious nature. She had said sometime ago, however, that there had to be a change im her life, or she could no longer stand to live, asshe was miserable, but no cause was assigned. The life of Mrs, Hall might have ved bad she not taken the pre- caution to hide the bottle after she had swallowed the drug, Her mother thought she detected the odor of Iaudanum in the giass, but when she searched for the bottle it could not | be found. Subsequently it was found where she bad concealed it, with part of the contents still in it. Just before she took the drug she wrote one or two letters, one to ber brother, and the other to ber aunt, it is thought. Mrs, Hall would have been 2% ars old the eleventh of this month. She leaves a husban!, who is em- ployed in the Ilineis Central shops and one child, their first horn having died sometime since. In ardition she leaves # father and mother and two brothers and one half-brother, all the latter being engineers on the Illinois Central. One brother, Mr. Will Barch, is here, but the other two, Engineer Fraak Burch, is run- ning on the Owensboro division, and Mr. Lawrence Burch, her half- brother, on the Louisville division. These were come at once. Mrs. Hall was a most estimable and attractive young woman, beloved by all who knew her, She was reared here, and was known to most every one for her many good and admira- ble traits of character. She had re- sided in Texas until a few months ago, and had only recently returned from a visit to Knoxville, Tenn. Coroner Phelps held an imquest this morning at 10 o’clock, and the verdict of the jury was that the de- ceased came to her death from an overdose of morphine, It did not attempt to settle the question of suicide, The funeral will take place tomor- row afternoon, likely from the First Baptist church, Rev. W. K. Penrod officiating. The interment will be at Oak Grove. AMPLY REWARDED. What a Father Did to the Sneak Was a Bountiful Plenty. Caught Him in His Dining Room, Intimidating His Chil- dren. A case of unusual boldness was re- ported to Officer Gray yesterday evening late. As the children were in the dining room after supper washing dishes at the home of Mr. L. Reeber, who lives on Gould avenue, a negro en- tered the room, making no noise, and when the frightened children at- tempted to give the alarm, placed his hand to his mouth and demanded them to keep quiet. They made a noise, nevertheless, and Mr. Reeber heard the disturbance and entered the room with fence paling. He attacked the interloper with the weapon and belabored him with it until it was almost worn out on va- rieus portions of his anatomy. He then allowed the scarcely-able-to- walk prowler to depart, and the po- lice were never able to find him. It is supposed he went there to get something to eat, and thought the best way to do, when he found no One in the room but children, was to help himself.

The crew sought shelter in the caboose, which happened to be in the middle of the train, and while there, five of the cars broke loose, and went rolling down grade into the main line. The crew knew nothing about it, until the fast freight, No. 251, which arrives here about 7:30, came along ata speed of obout 30 miles an hour and struek the cars, _ The freight wasin charge of En- gineer George Tagg and Fireman Phil Cotheimer, and Conductor Jess Putnam. The first two jumped from the train when the cars came around the curve, and the engineer had an ankle sprained, while Fireman Cot- heimer had a shoulder badly bruised and was othetwise injured, but not seriously. The conductor had an ankle sprained, and his nose was skinned. The cars were demolished, and one of them caught fire and was burned. The locomotive had the front end stove in, the stack and headlight being torn off, and one of the sills of one of the cara went entirely through the ; flue shell of the locomotive. Fortunately, the wreckage was soon cleared away, and th: locomotive brought here this moroing for repairs. The local accommodations between Memphis and Fulton, Nos. 131 and 182, on the Illinois Central, were to- taken off on account of the rigid quarantine regulations. No trains are allowed to stop in Memphis, and the coach windows even have to be closed when they pass through. Today Coldwater, Miss., joined the towns that have quarantined against all comers. It is said that there are no trains between many of the towns on the Grenada division. The number of yellow fever refu- gees to pass through Paducab has somewhat decreased, as last night there were no extra coaches on the north bound train. Mr. H. I.
