Citizen Complains of Reckless Riding and Driving on Street. Editor Star--The writer has on many occasions recently noted the reckless manner in which negro boys coast down Market sftreet at the. rate of 10 -to 15 oniles on hour. On Saturday afternoon- the little daughter of Dr. Harris s was run over on this street and severly injured which may result in the permanent diisfigurenjent of her face. The reckless scoundrel who carelessly rao over- her did not top to see the result but made himself scarce. Evcttjyv effort is being made to tures in all the principal cities. Al ready she has visited a number of l flad if he js ughit he will be summarily dealt with and will not soon forget such reeklessness and ut ter dir-regard of human life The au thorities should take some steps at once to break up this practice and if necessary keep a mennted officer on duty on this much iraveled thOough, fare to prevent a repetition of such accidents which will most surely lead to more serious trouble CITIZEN.

Look them over for your Christmas presents- it The Board of Aldermen, at its spe cial meeting last night unanimously adopted the ordinance urged by the Ministerial Association prohibiting ob scene pictures and music in places where spirituous liquors are sold under penalty of forfeiture of license and adopted a compromise measure for the ordinance urged by the nimisters, proMbiting the sale of liquor and gro ceries under the same roof, the chief object sought by this latter measure being i;he confining of the sale of liq uor to the down-town portionsi of the city. For the latter measure, by a vote of sevenxo two, the two members opposing being in favor of a more stringent regulatica, the Board passed an ordinance or resolution that in the future (It w,ould grant no license to sell llqjuors except upon condition that the said license be .revocable upon evi dence thab liquor had been sold or given away or allowed to be drunk on the premises by any woman and that where, liquors are sold in combination with groceries - that the two depart nasnts be i3cparated by a wall, curtain or partition, obstructing the view from fsonf. to rear and vices versa. The motion was not reduced to writing, but the above- is the substance of the (resolution, which was lateir m the meeting made; effective on December 15th. ,The action was taken after a caucus ofthe Board in the Mayor office and after a rather spirited session in the open, the latter being attended by an immense crowd, some in sympathy with the dealers, some with the min isters, while others were indifferenit. There was aso a large delegation present to see what action would be taken upon the plumbing ordinance, which went over until the next meet, ing for report from the ordinance com-, mittee. The other matters considered last night were very etringent laws governing the junk dealers of the city and the j passage of an appropriation for tthe purchase of 12 riot guns as recommended by the Chief of Police after the recent wholesale butchery on the streets of Adhevllle by a negro fiend. The meeting was called to order shortly after 8 o'clock by the Mayor, members of the Board filing in (the room from the caucus by edging their Way through the crowds that surround ed "the pit." - The Mayor stated that the objecfc of the meeting to be that of considering the memorial from the ministers' association. Rev. R. W Hogue, spokesman for the committee, was called upon to address the Board If he so desired. He asked that the resolution be read by fche clerk and' this was done. Mr. Hogue then spoke briefly, stating that ' the task upon which he was engaged, was not a pleas-, ant one; that) the matter bad been presented merely as a moral issue and that no effort had been made to lobby cc create any more than a pub lic sentiment in favor of the moral issue involved, leaving is entire ly with the intelligence and moral stamina of the Beard. The clerk then read the first ordi ance requested in (regard to obscene pictures and music, asi follows: "No lewd or nude pictures or ob scene music shall be allowed in any saloon, store or public building. The penalty for such offense shall be the permanent forfeiture of license to con duct the business the guilty, parties are engaged In" The ordinance was at once carried unanimously by an aye and nay vote. The second proposition was then read at the request of the Mayor, which was as follows: "That no liquor shall be sold in the same establishment With groceries or other merchandise." Alderman W. H. Yopp moved to adopt The chair interrupted to say that his position on ftfae liquor ques tion was very well known in the com munity; that he believed high license and strict regulation of the traffic was the only proper solution of what is known as the liquor problem. He would suggest that dhe Board go on record as granting no license to persons who would qell, give or barter' liquor to any woman, minor or drunken, person.
