Readings were rendered before the city council last night by Attorney B. L. C. Farrin and Judgo Upton. It was not a Shakesperlan or literary entertainment either. For some time seven ordinances have been staring the council impertinently in the face daring it to tackle them. Last night tho challenge was accepted and they were carried to a whirlwind finish; from last reports they are now serv ing time in the black confines of the massive iron safe that reposes In the city engineer's office. Following are the ordinances passed: Offenses and disorderly con duct, streets and alleys, obstruction of streets and alleys, disposing; of garbage, spread and prevention of contageous disease, regulation and licensing of dogs; there yet remains the building ordinance and, the plumbing ordinance, but the council wishes to acquaint itself in full de tail with these ordinances before they are passed on. An important featuro of the garbage ordinance is that it forbids the mixing of swill and slop with other refuse. It also stipulates that garbage cans must be emptied at least twico a week. A great many Marshfleld people are now having their garbage cans hand led by Dado Haines who has been doing this work for some time. May or Straw says that this man will handle garbage cans for 25 cents or 50 cents a week. The ordinance relating to the ob struction of streets provides that signs on all business houses shall not extend moro than IS Inches out from tho building; except lighted signs which are lighted all night. It also provides that merchants shall not leave merchandise or boxes of any kind on tho sidewalk In front of their stores. Alderman F. A. Sacchi last night made his report on the W street sewer work.

(By Associated Press.) ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 14. It is expected that Russia and Great Brit ain will enter Into an agreement for joint action in regard to the situation in Macedonia that they may be sup ported by France and perhaps Italy.
