vision of profits, reconstruction and geieral bederment of the plant. An entire new contract will bo drawn instead of trying to amend tlie old one, according to Gardner. One of the most important things to consider is the renewal of the company's contract with the city to furnish fire hydrants. Another important feature, mentioned by Mr. Gardner is that u provision will be made, so that the city may buy the additional stock, issued by the company for improvements at different times. He considers this the way by which
the city will gradually get control of the plant. It will also be provided . it is said, that the c ity c an buy some i or all of the stock at any time it sees !t. I K. M. Campfield called up Mr. Gard'ner over the telephone this morning, and said before adopting a franchise, to give a company of men in the east a chance to bid for the contract. He said his company would give a large bond, and guarantee to construct a satisfactory plant. If given the contract.
COUNCIL EXPLAINS IIISAIIEWARD VOTES Suggested Plans Not Practical and the Expense to County Too Heavy.
Because of tho abuses which a county Insane mard would bo subjected to and became of the expense in construction and operation of such an Institution, which would not more than temporarily solve the problem, the county council at lis special session on Friday refused to make the necessary appropriation according to a member of the organization. By taking the action It did. each member of the council probably will be called before the grand Jury at cither the April or September term of court and asked to explain why they refused to appropriate money for carrying out the proposed reform. Those who had hoped to see the council appropriate $13,000 to $15,000 for the construction and equipment of the institution, regretted very much to see the council take the action it did. They will not drop the fight. 80 Suitable Plan. 4 While the county council is expectIns; to be severely criticized from
some sources for not taking the re
quired steps, yet the members said It
was not because they were not In favor of an insane ward, but because no plan had been suggested to the
council which met with the unanimous approval of their constituency. II. R.
Robinson, of this city, said "the coun
ty council la ready to make the tie-
sired appropriation If It can be shown that the county can care for Its in
sane In a practical and satisfactory
nay."
When the council went into private
session in the afternoon, there were
three point considered which resulted in the council unanimously voting the
appropriation down. The first was ox
pense: the second, the abuse of the
privileges of the Institution; and.
third, that no one had suggested a
plan which solved the problem to the satisfaction f all members of the council. An Institution, such as proposed, would cost originally about $15,000 and from $2,000 to $.1,000 a year for maintenance. The accommodations would be for only sixteen persons, Ight women and eight men. The councllmen felt It would be only a short time until every ward would be in use and the county Jail again used as quarters for the surplus. According to e very plan suggested, the authors of each plan have differed radically.

TALES OF ABUSES TOLDJf A WIFE Mrs. Clarence Steele Divorced After Telling Judge Her Experiences.
Not satisfied with a wife who sawed wood, shucked the corn, washed other people s laundry and did other odd jobs by which she contributed to the support of the family, Clarence Steele, a laborer, unitl recently a resident on South Eighth street, more than once informed his wife, Emma May, that she would have to die, according to her testimony in divorce rroceedings in the circuit court on Saturday.
I Judge Fox freed the woman from
nor marital bonds. Mrs. Steele said her life was not sacred to her husband, as ho often threatened her, believing that she was his private property, and h was priv
ileged to do with her and .'or her as j he pleased. Realistic nightmares
were frequently experienced by the woman when she would be awakened in the middle of the night by some occult force, to see her husband standing by the bed with his knife in his hand, so she testified. Mrs. Steele said he evidently delighted to recall to her memory the awful death of Mrs. Bates, murdered by her husband and for which crime Bates was hung by Wayne county officials. He said her fate would be the same as was that of Mrs. Bates. In referring to this abuse the woman said to Judge Fox in a very plaintive sort of manner, "You remember the Bates case, don't you?" The court did, he having participated in the trial. The witness said her husband did frequently cuff, whip, beat, strike and kick her. Her present weakened phy
sical condition she attributed as a result of these beatings. Three days after the birth of their youngest daughter he whipped her because she had corrected a son for cursing his father. "If I am permitted to say it, your honor, he was au old devil," she said. Other woes were related, including that she had to stand good for the groceries, was called vile names, etc. Steele was not in court, it being understood by his wife that he went a few days ago to Tennessee to work in the coal mines. They were married in 1SS4.

The young man possessed with most remarkable strength was fighting against his removal and threw eight men, all larger and stronger than be Is in normal condition. They finally got his hands strapped,, together back of him and then wrapping him la blankets and running straps around his body, they put him in the machine. On the trip to Richmond, he would apparently be in normal conditions at times, but suddenly and most unexnectedlv he would begin fighting.
