TORNADO
Town Had a Population of Five Hundred Freight Train Un
able to Reach Devastated Village Because of the
Wreckage.
' A. P. Dispatch.)
HA RG, Missw, Feb. 14.
Short noon a tornado at a
terrlfl speed passed over Jones coun
ty north of here. The whole town of
Woosvillo, ten miles from Laurel,
Miss., Js reported to bo blown away.
A'l that is loft according to a report
' the denot of the M. J. & K. O. R. R.
jTk town had a population ot tve
city jail when you get in.
(Moral Keep out. For canning
any of tho abovo can'ts Judge
Upton can hang tho following
'on you: Fine of not less than
10 or more than ?100; or not
less than three days or moro
than 100 days In Jail; or a doub-

cllned.
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. As Instructed by the
mayor he has final power to act on
this matter. Ho asked for bids
on tho work and received tho fol
lowing estimates: B. O. Hall, $173;
Masters & McLain, $110; Straw and
Farrin, $70. Tho work was let to
the latter firm. Tho work on Alice
street will shortly be taken up. This
street, between Queen and D streets
will be opened up. Tho council last
night voted to give notice of tho in
tention to Improve Alice street. The
street runs through land owned by
C. A. Smith. J. E. Cayou the archi
tect was ordered paid $122, for plans
and specifications mndo on tho city
hall. Tho city pound was order
built. It will bo erected under the

IAKE ACTION
Russia and Great Britian Ex
pected to Enter Into
Compact.
(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.
If such a coalition Is made the reason
undoubtedly will be because of tho
latest developments at Constantino
ple and tho fact that Germany in
tends to abandon tho allies and adopt
the counter proposals of tho Sultan,
which, from a Russian point of view,
aie tanamount to no reform at all in
regard to tho creating of a situa
tion equalling the Morocco entangle
ment, in International importance.
