There was a runaway on Rnllrond street nnd a. carriage was wrecked, and some one yvho turned oUt yvlth hun dreds of others to witness the excite ment, made it more so by sending In nn alarm, nnd In a Jiffy the population of Main street, together with the lire department, yvas centered in one block, causing a complete Jam. l he Me chanics mistook C2 for 26 and went tip to the Junction on a wild goose chase.

The nomination was referred to the proper committee, but If they take the same action on this as they did on the previous one, Carroll will have the opportunity of drawing his monthly salary for an Indefinite period. Rein stated Hennlgan, who is an employe ot the Electric Light company, introduced a resolution that a committee be ap pointed to look over the city and re port to the council yvhere they thought additional lights were necessary.
