pany, complaining of the failure of said
company to build their track according
to terms of the grant; that the city notify
the company that if they did not comply
in four months their ffanchise be for-
feited. Freund moved a suspension of the
rules. Hirsch thought it ought to
go to a committee. Freund said
it meant to kill the resolution
and he thought it ought to go through.
McAughan said nothing but the most rigid
action would do any good. It had been
tried time and again. Hirsch thought !t
ought to go the regular way to the streft
and bridge committee for investigation
McAughan said he had investigated the
matter fully and knew It was right and
there was no other way to get at them.
They would notice nothing else. Hirsch
said some one should notify them and if
they failed, then take steps to have it
done. Kohlhauff said they had already
been given time enough and he favored
the resolution. Freund arose to a point
of order because Hirsch had spoken four
times. Packard made the same point on
Freund, he having spoken four times. The
mayor said he didn't want to cut off any
one. Kohlhauff said he had tried it in a
case on Houston avenue and they would
do nothing unless they were seen in per-
son and they were informed that It meant
business. Freund said he had tried to get
the company months and months to move
a little track in the Second ward and
they would do nothing. Rules were sus-
pended. The resolution was finally adopted
without, opposition.
A motion was made by Kohlhffuff that
the mayor advertise for thirty days, giv-
ing notice of application for changes in
the charter, the application to be made
to the Twenty-fourth legislature. One of
the changes contemplated related to mak-
ing all officers of the city elective. Bailey
said the law required the resolution to
be specific or indicate the subjects. Car-
ried.
Packard moved that the mayor appoint
a committee of five to consider the needed
amendments. Bailey said lie didn't see
the need of outside help. Packard said he
only did it to help the committee. Bailey
said the advertisement was to give citi-
zens a chance to come in and speak.
Kohlhauff thought the council knew well
enough without calling in outsiders. Bai-
ley moved to lay Packard's motion for
five citizens on the table. Carried.
Hirsch moved to request lion. J. C.
Hutcheson to demand an appropriation of
$5,000,000, as Houston was the great railway
center, etc. Carried.
Hirsch moved that the mayor advertise
for bids for a lateral sewer in conformity
with resolution before passed, bids to come
in befcre next Monday.
Hirsch moved that the mayor advertise
for bids, to be in Monday, December 17,
for sidewalks. Carried.
Bailey moved that the street railway
company be required to provide closed cars
for the months of December, January and
February. Kohlhauff and others wanted
to know If it could be done. Bailey said
he didn't see why the city couldn't do it.
Moved to refer it to the fire committee.
Bailey said he would rather withdraw it
than to have it made fun of. A motion
was carried to refer it to the attorney
for an opinion and ordinance.
Repsdorph moved that the Houston and
Texas Central road make a culvert on
Sawyer street. Adopted.
Bailey moa-ed that It be unlawful for
anyone to build a sidewalk where a con-
tract had been put out by the city, the
offense to be punished by a fine of not
less than $10 nor more than $200. Freund
favored it and said it ought to have been
done long ago, and seconded the motion.
Bailey said people had come In front of
contractors at work and put down an in-
ferior and cheap material to cut off the
city. Freund said the owner could have
his paving done before the contract was
let. Bailey said unless something was
done to protect contractors the city could
not get any more bids for that kind of
work. Referred to ordinance committee
and city attorney, to report next meeting.
Freund moved that the street car com-
pany be notified to repair their pavement
in the track on Congress street, near St.
Emanuel. Carried.
Freund moved that the engineer prepare
specifications for certain paving on Con-
gress avenue.
Repsdorph moved that the engineer pre-
pare plans for sidewalks on Center, LTnlon
and other streets by next meeting.
Adopted.
Hirsch moved that the mayor have San
Jacinto bridge inspected at once. Carried.
A resolution by Aubertin to have Mont-
gomery road straightened was brought up.
It had been reported upon favorably by
the board of public works. While this was
being read, the mayor was called out on
business, and Alderman Bailey was called
to the chair and presided with becoming
dignity. The board had reported favor-
ably on the resolution provided the cost
was not over $600. Adopted.
An ordinance by Freund had been re-
ported on favorably. It was that the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe and Texas
Western railway companies place their
track in the center of St. Emanuel street.
The rules were suspended and the ordin-
ance adopted.
Mayor Browne here resumed his seat.
An ordinance to prevent the switching
of railway freight trains on certain parts
of Commerce avenue. The resolution was
adopted.
The council then adjourned.

made his escape. He has eluded the offi-
cers until yesterday evening late, when
he was apprehended and lodged in jail.
He had anticipated coming events by get-
ting a bond filled up and signed by parties
whom he supposed the sheriff would ac-
cept, but that officer declined anything
short of actual security, and landed the
prisoner behind the bars.
A few days ago the guardians of the pub-
lic peace warned soloonkeepers that they
must keep their shops closed hereufter oil
Sunday, and to-day they are keeping a
vigilant watch on the latch-strlng supposed
to have heretofore hung out at such places.

obnoxious to people living in the portions
of town not frequented by the police, and
by joint action of the city and county of-
ficers a camp in the western part ol' town
was raided yesterday, where twenty-live
footpads were in rendezvous, all of whom
were convicted on a charge of vagrancy.
They will go to work or. the public high-
ways to-morrow.
TO INVESTIGATE JURY FIXING.
Fort Worth, Tex., Dec. 3.—'Something of
a ripple resulted In the Forty-eighth dis-
trict court this morning when Judge S.
P. Greene sent for his grand jury and
gave them rigid instructions to take up
and Investigate the charges of "jury fix-
ing" being freely made of late. His honor
gave the body to understand that he would
expect the fullest investigation of the sub-
ject at their hands and that in the prose-
cution of their task they would have the
cordial support of the bench. He wanted
indictments presented if grounds existed,
and If not, t'he slander routed. The re-
port of the 'body will be awaited with much
interest.

Ennls, Ellis Co., Tex.. Dec. 3.—Joe Prew-
itt, employed by the Texas Midland as car
