SUM
A very tame performance was put
on by the city council last night,
though there was plenty of material
for a few spirited controversies. But
as one of the councilmen said, they
all seemed to have lost their ambition
on account of the coming commission
government
Tho following councilmen were
present when Mayor Kennedy called
for order: Cox, Coleman, Davis,
Framo, Butler, Halton, Mil's, Jen-
nings, Sweeney and Lindsay. Mr.
Suggs and Mr. Higginson came in
later.
The minutes of February meetings
were read and approved.
Bills of the fire department for the
month of February were taken up and
audited. A bill for |25 for guarding a
flro called, forth an Objection from Mr.
Frame. Mr. Frame! also took occa-
sion, upon the reading of a bill for
horse hire, to say that he thought that
something was radically wrong In the
firo department on account of so
many horses being put out of service.
He didn't know what It was, but he
felt certain that too many horses
were being ruined. Chairman Davis
of the fire committee replied to objec-
tion about the bill for guarding a fire,
stating that it was ai, hay fire and
could not be put outl nor would not
burn out, and he did not consider the
bill excessive. Warrants were order-
ed drawn for the bills.
A sub-committee from the charter
committee appeared before the coun-
cil and J. P. Haven, as spokesman,
said that the charter committee sim-
ply asked tho co-operation of the
council. After some discussion of
the charter, Mr. Halton moved that
the council formally co-oporate In tho
work and attend In a body If a mass
meeting is called.
The report of the assessor and col-
lector showed collections of $18,-
689.78 for February. The city secre-
tary stated that 90 per cent of this
year's taxes will be collected.
Tho city treasurer reported a bal-
ance on hand of $69,340.48, with
$3,493.11 paid out during the month" on
warrants.
The chief of police reported collec-
tions as follows: Police court, $163,95;
pound. $1.50; garbage, $20; total,
$276.05.
Flro Chief V. L. Morefleld had a
big report for the month <of February,
the shortest of the year. Thero were
twenty-six alarms; lof?s on buildings,
$7,200; loss on Contents, $4,865. The
lowest water pressure was 60 pounds
and the highest 70 pounds.
Mr. Frame moved that reports of
officers bo received. Ho remarked
rather sarcastically that he was grat-
ified to see that the annals of tho city
were good, -as the^fires were light. Tho
motion carried.
Bills of the general revenue fund
were read and allowed, as were also
bills of the street fund.
Chairman Suggs of the finance com-
mittee made Beveral motions regard-
ing tho payment of $4,500 In bonds,
held In various bond sinking funds.
Tho treasurer was instructed to bring
the bonds ^o the council at the next
meeting, wljen they will bo cancelled.
The report of City Physician Gard-
ner was read and received.
A letter from Congressman C. B.
Randell, with reference to tho salo
of the Randell farm for a water plant
reservoir, was read. Mr. Randell of-
fered to sell 750 acres for $40 an acre.
If that was too much ho offered to cut
off 200 acres and soil the remainder
for the same price, provided damages.
If any occurred, were paid. He re-
fused an option as asked by the city.
City Attorney Smith stated that he
believed the matter to he Important,
and that he was of the opinion that
If the situation were explained to Mr.
Rahdell an option could be secured.
On motion of Mr. Sweeney, Mayor
Kennedy' appointed the following com-
mittee to confer with Mr. Randell
with a view to securing tho desired
option: Sweeney, Halton, Butler, Hig-
ginson and Cox.
Annuat reports of the Dctilson and
Sherman Railway Company and of the
Denlson Light and Power Company
wero presented t6 the council as re-
quired by law. On motion of Mr. Cole-
man the city secretary was Instructed
to notify the Denlson City Water Com-
pany that Its report had not been re-
ceived.
With rather sardonic smiles the
councilmen proceeded to fix the sal-
aries of officers to be elected in
April, provided an election Is held.
Mr. Frame said that he believe^ in

THAW DEFENSE
IS COMPLETED
ALL EVIDENCE BEFORE JURY EX-
CEPT WHAT MAY BE GIVEN
IN SUR-REBUTTAL.
MOVE WAS A BIG SURPRISE
District Attorney Jerome Says He Will
Finish by Next Wednesday and
That the Case Should be in
Hands of the Jury by
Friday of Next Week.
New York, March 8.—When court
opened this morning for tho further
hearing of the Thaw case, the defense,
in accordance with tho decision reach-
ed late yesterday, announced that, it
has rested and that all the evidence
to save Harry K. Thaw from tho elec-
tric chair i8 In tho hands ot tho jury
except what may be given In sur-re-
buttal. District Attorney Jeromo s'ald
the evidence ho had to pffer in rebut-
tal would be before tho jury by next
Wednesday night. Ho added that tho
case should bo in tho bands of the
Jury by Friday next. District Attor-
ney Jeromo as well as most of tho
persons who have followed the trial
closely was surprised at this sudden
determination of the defense to end
its caBe, and, as the district attorney
is not quite prepared to go on with his
rebuttal testimony, It Is likely that he
will ask Justice Fitzgerald to postpone
the trial until Monday. Whether the
defense will oppose an adjournment
remains to be seen, but as that side is
In a good tactical position It was be-
lieved that tho motion to adjourn tho
trial will bo fought.
To Mr. Delmas, chief counsel for
Thaw, Is ascribed this unusual move,
which has furnished so many unusual
transactions. Personally he was Im-
pressed with tho testimony given by
Mrs. William Thaw on the stand Wed-
nesday and in thinking of his future
plans that night there flashed Into his
mind the thought that with this pic-
ture of the grief-stricken mother on
the witness stand fresh in the minds
of the jurorij it was a good place to
close the case of tho defense. Ho
knew that the jurymen had had a sur-
feit of expert, testimony and, as that
was about all he still had to offer, ho
deemed It wise that It should be elim-
inated.
Thaw and his relatives are said to
be satisfied with the decision of coun-
sel and with the prospects of the pris-
oner, judging from tho case thus far
presented.
Mrs. William Thaw, mother ot the
prisoner, was reported to bo dissatis-
fied on ono point. This was over tho
fact that she was not allowed on Wed-
nesday to testify on tho question of
hereditary Insanity In tho Thaw fam-
ily. She wished to explain the state-
ments made In the course of the trial
that, members of the Thaw family
have been In Insane asylums and that
there was a stroak of Insanity In tho
family. Mrs. Thaw, It was stated, felt
that a preat Injustice had heen dono
tho Thaw family by these statements,
hence her desire to > publicly deny
them. - ' '
With this subject in mind, Mrs. Wil-
liam Thaw sent for lawyer Clifford
W. Hnrtridcre yesterday and had a con-
ference with him lasting nearlv three
hours, during which she told him that!
if she could not tell her story on the
stand, she would communicate her
side of It to the newspapers.
Mr. TTartrldsre. however. Is believed
to have persuaded her to postoono the
exnlanatlon at this time. Mr Hart-
rldife, when he left the conference nt
the Lorraine denied - that Thaw's
mother was dlsnleased because sho
bad not been allowed to exnlnin and
that shr> wns satisfied with evervthlng
wh«n the lawyers tind explained tho
underlvlnc reasonrs for the manner in f
wbleh her testimony was restricted. '
district Aftomev Jerome Is still fe-1
ceivlnE many threatening letters n-h|ch j
abuse Mm for prosectitlnir Thaw j
Some of the writers threaten that If'
Thaw Is convicted to blow \tp Jerome
Into atoms, to boll him In oil to shoot
him, and to do otfeer cruel thlnw.
Cleveland Soon Will Be 70.
New York, March S —Some of fho
leading Democrats, of New York are
discussing plans fpr a dinner or some
Other form of testimonial In honor of
ex-President Grover Cleveland on the}1
occasion of his seventieth birthday.
Mr. Cleveland will be 70 years old on
March 18. While that Is not a groat '
age it Is much greater than many of
his predecessors In the presidency at-
tained. In fact only 1f> of the 2JJ men
who preceded Mr. Cleveland lived as
long as he has lived. It Is now 22 j
years since Mr. Cleveland first assum-
ed the burdens of the White House.
Only five other Presidents lived so
long after their Inaugurations, and
theso were the two Adamses, Jeffer-
son. Madison, Van Buren and Fillmore.
No President Inaugurated In the past,
half century, except Mr. Cleveland, has
survived his Inauguration for more
than 1C years, which was the record
of Gen. Grant.
NEED NOT SHAVE NEGROES.
Supreme Court of Connecticut Hands
Down This Decision.
Hartrord, Conn., March 8.—Tho
state supreme court has handed down
u decision to The effect that barbers
in tliis state need not shave colored
men. The decision was reached on an
appeal from a superior court decision
in which a barber who refused to
shave a negro contended that his shop
was not a place of public accommoda-
tion within the meaning of tho law.
The supreme court upholds the con-
tention.
BEST DAY OF THE SERIES
MUCH INTEREST IN THE EVAN-
GELISTIC MEETINGS.
Evening Service at Presbyterian
Church was a Fitting Climax to
Splendid Work of the Day.
Tho evangelistic meetings under tho
auspices of the Presbyterian Churches
of tho city, conducted by Hondrick
and Carter, surpassed all previous re-
cords Thursday—the attendance, inter-
est and visible results all being larger
than any single day during the series.
The music is an inspiring feature of
the meetiugs.
The duy was opened by a business
men's meeting at tho Knaur-Browu
grocer house, at which a crowd of
men, filling all the vacant spaces of
the store, standing behind the count-
ers,} and filling the doors and walks
in front, heard a fine talk on the
"Thinking Man."
At! the machine shops the subject
waB "Abundant Salvation." The Y. M.
C. A. quartet rendered two delightful
numbers, Mr. Carter sang a solo, and
many rousing songs wcire sung by hun-
dreds of the men.
The afternoon congregation filled
the auditorium, many people from ad-
Joining towns being present. The sub-
ject was "The Light of the World."
Anion'; the visitors were Rev. B.
Wrejnn Webb, Sherman; Rev, J. F.
Fender, Whitewright; ,ltev. R. R.
Crockett, Durant, and Rev. J. II. Wof-
ford, Sterrett.
The evening service was the climax
of this splendid day. By npecial rei-
quest, Mr. Hendrlx preached his nota-
ble sermon on the "Cities of Refuge."
It was by far the best sermon of the
meeting, and the audience, which fill-
ed every seat in the church, will cher-
ish it in tho days to come. Mr. Carter
sang "The Holy City," and, those who
should know say that this was ono of
the most beautiful solos ever rendered
In our city. There were seven con-
versions, some of whom were heads of
families.
Thero will be only one service Sat-
urday, and this will bo at the National
Bank corner nt 7:30 p. m.
Tho Sunday program is as follows;
Sunrise meeting at 7 o'clock, led by
Rev. A. L. Carter. Preaching at Beth-
any Church by Rev. E. E. Hendrlck.
Preaching at First Church by Rev. A.
I,. Carter at 11:00 a. m. Mrs. Alice
Acheson Sproule and Mr. Carter will
sing solos at this service. Meeting for
men only at 3:30 p. m., and union re-
vival services at 7:30 p. m., at the
First Church. At the morning ser-
vices all of tho pastors will give an
opportunity for persons to unite with
the churches.
