At n late hour last night the city council In secret session adopted an ordinance grantIng - Ing a fUty-jcnr franchise to the bridge line motor company. A compromise was effected on the disputed points of commutation tickets nnd the I'lcrce street loop. In the ordinance as It passed the council last night It Is pro vided that commutation tickets good for thirty rides shall be Issued for $1 50 , the tickets to bo Irredeemable and uontransfer- rlble. The Issue of these tickets Is to begin Immediately on the passage of the ordinance and to continue- far a period of fifteen jcais. With regard to the Pierce sticet loop It is provided that after IS'JS ' nnd for a period of , fifteen years every other motor train will inn around the loop. At the secret session which followed the regular adjourned meeting of the council all the members were piesunt The motor com pany's charter was taken up and read sec tion by section , us was also the ordinance submitted by Mr. Sims of the citizens' com mittee City Clerk Phillips tend the sections In the company's ordinance nnd the major championed the cause of the objectors by leading the corresponding sections of the citrons' ordinance. Thu first section granting the extension of fift > jcais was agreed to , Alderman Casper : casting the only veto ugalnst It. There were but alight differences In the sections of the two papers until the 0110 was reached piovldlng fet a commutation ticket. Then a. lung and hot debate took place. Thu motor company's charter pro vided for n ticket good for fifty rides within thirty days from date for $2.50 , and the other ordinance called for a twenty-ride ticket good for a year for | 1. Alderman Pace suggested a compromise ) on a forty-rlcje ticket for $2 , and after a good deal of Informal discussion n vote was taken and the compromise was icjectcd A suggestion for a thirty-ride ticket for $1.BO. met the ap proval of several members and upon u vote being taken all of the members voted for It with the exception of Aldeunan Pace and Graham , who had advocated the forty-ride compromise. When the proceedings had reached this point and the two chief sticking points had been passed , It looked PU If the whole mat ter would have been speedily s ( tiled , but nn unexpected snag was struck when the section piovldlng for the trains around the Pierce sticet loop was take-n up No other two sections of the ordinance were neater alike than these , the only difference being the provision that aftci 1S9S , If the tralllc did not warrant thu expense of this service and the company could convince the council of It the company should be relieved ot the but den. Caspr was the Hist to oppose the adoption of the section , and In doing to went over the whole question of the Pierce stieet agreement by which the compinj promised to run Its Omaha trains over that line. The matter reached a crisis when the mayor took issue with the advocates of the motor company's pioposltlon and announced in a positive manner that he was favorable to requiring tlio company to fulfill Its old contract and in favor of compelling the com pany to submit to such regulations as were just and reasonable. Nearly an hour was consumed by Aldermen Atkins and Casper In arguing the necessity for the operation of the main trains on that portion of the line for the good of the business and pioperty Interests of the eastern part of the city and upper Broadway. The compromise provid ing that alternate trains go round the loop after the jear 1898 was reached after a long discussion. The first hour of the meeting was devoted to the transaction ot Eomo routine business that had accumulated on the clerk's desk during the day. The clerk read an Invita tion to the mayor and the aldermen to attend the meeting of the International Association of Mayors and City Councils which will be held In Columbus , 0. , from September 28 to October 1. Another invitation came from the secretary of the National Irrigation congress , which will bo held at Lincoln , September 2S to 30. Both Invitations were referred to the nnyor and city clerk. The city bridge pay roll , amounting to $152 , and $10.20 to George S. Davis for paints used In bridge repairing was allowed. The question of granting the annual vaca tion to firemen came up In the shape of a report from the committee and a resolution granting each member ten djjs In each jear In addition to the regular day off every two weeks , the time of the vacation to be fixed by the chief of the department. There was no objection to It when the aldermen learned that other cities gave the firemen this , vaca tion with pay. A communication was received from Union Veteran Legion camp asking the council to assist In the effort to secure the next national gathering of the organization for this ulty. The communication was received and placed on nio and the aldermen will do all that lies In their power to assist the vctcians In their laudable enterprise. A resolution was Introduced , following a petition asking for It , directing the con demnation of the desired portion of Sixteenth street through the Rolirer tract. It was not passed , but the matter was referred to a spe cial committee of three , to ho appointed by the mayor , to confer with Sfr. Rohror and en deavor to fix up a satisfactory compromise as the price to bo paid for the strip of land. The city marshal was directed to notify the Northwestern Hallway company to extend Its crossing at Thirteenth street to the full width of the street. The council then went Into executive session.

The crime for which the colored preacher was arrested was the failure to pay 5 cents due on his dinner. Lomack reached the city jesterday shortly before noon and went Into Woolsej's restaurant on Broadway to get his dinner. The prfce of the regular mcil was 15 cents , just the amount of money ho had In his possession.

On the other hand , the chairman wanted national Issues , especially the silver question , to be made the fighting g-ound , and has been ducting his part of the campaign along these lines. The story continues that thcro Ins been a violent rupture of factions between the two an a result , and that It may continue and develop Into a serious condition.

A number of lake shlppcts uirlvtul In the city ftom Cleveland dutlng the day and ave lusy making contracts with the pioduccis for toal. There Is no tuilbbllng about ptlcc" . and 20 cents above the mining price Is the gcnetally accepted late. These prices will likely bo maintained until after the In KM contracts are filled , when thcro may bo an attempt to buy coal chciper.

No. 30 Pearl St. , Next to Grand Hotel. 128 Broughton St. , SAVANNAH , GA. April 4th , 1897. I have been a great sufferer from my "periods" . I had headache , bearing-down pains , whites , profuse and too frequent menstruation , con stipation and pains in my stomach. I was confined to my bed eight or nine days every time the menses came. I don't think a woman could be much sicker than I was. We had several very skillful doctors but they did me no good. I also took some so-called female regulators without relief. My husband read about Wine of Cardui in our Savannah paper and suggested that I try that. I finally got it and have used two bottles , I used to be sick nine days but the Wine has ' .

The best way to get relief from "female diseases" Is to do as Mrs. De Lyons did take Wine of Cardui. Other remedies sometimes give women temporary relief. But for a certain permanent cure in ninety-nine cases out of every hundred Wine of Cardui is what is needed. It can be taken in the privacy of home without the humiliation or expense of a physician's "local treatment" . And it cures every kind of " female trouble' ' or weakness. $1.00 per bottle at drug stores.
