Mr. Lynch 's letter was referred to the finance committee. Chas. A.

COURT SQUARE Collaboration of be Wine men of The Four Ward.. 1 lie Hoard ol Aldermen started on on a trot with the introduction I a hack sler's or iinancc, drawn up by City At torney hondley and recommended tor passage by the committee recently ap pointed. The ordinance provided that all hucksters must pav a vcarlt license tax of $20, whether selliiu within or with out the market, and the idea is to make the rental in the market very low in ordei to keep hucksters therein. Before the ordinance was lormallv before the house, Mr. Jones jstarled in on an aruu nient, but was called down on a point of order. A motion to o'tss the ordinance on first rcadiuu was made, and Mr Jones then not in an urmnent, declaring that all dealers should be treated alike and that the city ncecs the m ncy that could be derived from the taxes. I. M Guducr took the floor and began a dis sertation on free chickens. He was taken oil this sidetrack by a point of order, and then delivered a ring argument auuinst the ordinance With one loot on a chair runs and his pantaloons rolled up one section, he proclaimed that he did not want to see a tax put on hucksters, be cause mat would raise prices to tile buyer. ' Wbv," declared he in that winning tone which captivated the court several years ago when he called some colored delendants a "flush ol spades," "the Czar of Kussia dure not think ol puttiiii a license on salad. He cinuhasized his uoints with sundrv IIIIIH H ROOT IttfHUf k'raccful Itlt-handed gestures, anil bis I cry "Don't tax turnips!" touched every heart. Mr. ones replied in a talk that wu replete with humor and attempts to discover "where Mr. Gudier was at. The latter gentleman thus cot another chance, and placed himself right, inci dentally turn'ng a few laughs against Mr, Jones, wun interest. 1 Here was some lurther discussion, alter which Mr. Starnes made a slight amendment and the ordinance panned on first read ng, the negative votes being cast bv Messrs. H L. and J. M. Gudgcr. The ordinance provides a fine for violation of the la si, but will not apply to growers who sell truck of their own raising from wagous on the squate. AMM-aamenta City Engineer Lee submitted his report of the cost of puving on South Main and Depot streets, which have been finished, the report bring in detail and showing the assessment upon each- property owner. In making the report every item ot cost was added except the damages. Mayor Patton rxplained that in the event that there shoul I be a test case in the courts it would be better to not include the damages.

The funeral ol the late "Maj. W. W. McDowell at the First Presbyterian church at 1 1 o'clock this inorniug, was very largely attended. There were present many Iriends of this well-loved man from other churches, besides the usual congregation of the First church, where Maj. McDowell had been so long an elder and a leading; mem ber. There was an expectant stir in the silent church when the organist began the solemn fuueral march. The Kcv. K. F. Campbell, followed by the Rev. Mr. Baldwin and Rev. Mr. Parker, moved slowly up the right aisle, preceding the funeral procession. First came A. T. Summey, esq., W. P. Blair and Maj. Chas. M. Stedman as honorary pall bearers; then the coffin, draped in black, borne by Mayor T. W. Pat ton, W. A. Blair. Col. A. T. Davidson, Mai. T. C. II. Dukes, Col. A. II. Baird, las. L. McKee, Capt. M. J. Fage and City Clerk f. M. Miller. 1 be family ot the deceased, relatives and intimate friends tilled the front seats in the middle aisle, and helpful hands completely cov ered the coffin with beautilul offerings of flowers. Mr. Campbell began with, "I am the resurrection and the lite." and read appro priate selections from the service tor the dead with effective simplicity. "I will not deliver the customary ad dress this morning," he said, "but have asked Brother Baldwin to take my place for two reasons: First, because I have just arisen from a sick bed and do not leel able, and, second, because Brother Baldwin has been for several years so clost ly connected with the deceased as a friend, and in his relations with the Southside chapel." When the Rev. Mr. Baldwin stcrjpedto the pulpit he was evidently much af fected, for his relations with Mai. Mc Dowell and his family have been tenderly intimate. He said: "It I could have followed my own in clinations and consulted my own feel ings, my place this morning would have been, not at the desk, but in the congregation with the family and friends ot the departed. But 1 have a painful duty to perform for the living, and to offer, for the departed, the last solemn rites, a tribute of our respect. Why is this large congregation gathered here in this sanctuary oa the last day of the week? It is because a great, good and just man has passed away. A prince has fallen in Israel. last night s I.ITIZEN contained u long article testifying to Mai. McDowell's nobility and integrity of character. Perhaps there was never known n more perfect character, a more tenderlv affectionate husband, father and friend. This morning when I asked his Wtet sn if -there was anything he wished me to say in mv remarks he said: 'O. what a lather we have lost! He was always true, alwaysjust, but he never in his life spoke an unkind word to one ot his children. "What a testimony is this! Of how few ot us could these words be said ! 1 have been so intimately associated with the departed and with his family for the last two years that I realize the bitterness of such a loss, the depth of their affliction. We can hardly realize that he is gone. We shall meet here Babbath after Sab bath and note his absence. We shall gather in his house and see his chair vacant, till at last we realize that he has departed from us. We are called upon once more to learn the lesson tnat tnis occasion teaches the lesson of our mor tality. Are there any who haye not lost Iriends . 1 bosc who nave lett us are not dead but gone before, and are as so many bright links in the chain that binds us to Heaven. "It is to be hoped the mantle of this great and good man will fall upon some one in his household. What lessons of christian living he taught to those about him: and his teachings are not lost; 'though dead, he speaketh.' "With his afflicted family the Com forter has been present for the last two days. He has said to the widowed, 'I will be as a husband; and to the children, 1 am the father of the fatherless.' " Mr. Baldwin who was present at the deathbed of Maj. McDowell added: "1 have never seen so beautilul a transition. While his children crowded about him asking for one last word, his lips moved, but he did not speak for he had already entered into heaven. '(), death where is thv stinir? O. crave where is thy victorv?' Thanks be to Him who has given us the victory and that through our Lord Jesus Christ we too mav enter into paradise. Mr. Campbell offered a short closing prayer full ot comforting promise, ana the services at the church closed with the sintrinu of the hvmn it was Mai. Mc Dowell s enstom to sing every bunuay evening: "One swertly solemn thought CotneN to me o'er and o'er, Ncnrer my God to thee Than e'er I've been before. " There were short services at the ceme tery where the remaius of Maj. W. W. McDowell were committed to their last resting place.
