The police committee reported on the
policemen's reauost for an advance
favorably and suggested that tho chief
be given J5 per month, a raise of $5,
and the patrolmen $60 a month, a raise
of 12.66. Some of the members thought
tho advance too small, and the matter
was inferred back to tho police com
mittee. The city engineer complained of poo
pie In various sections of the city leav
ing water run from outside hydrants,
thus allowing Ice to form on the
streets, to the danger of pedestrians
and horses. The matter was referred
to the street committee.
The polo tax ordinance was brought
tip and passed first reading. It wan so
amended as to glvu the city engineer
nuthorlty to enforce tho penalty on all
years succeeding tho first year, as
stated in the original ordinance.
The Hints Silk Throwing company
asked the city to extend the fire alarm
f-ystem to their mill, tho company
agreeing to pay all expense necessar
ily Incurred. The request was granted,
nnd tho city clerk authorized to see to
the necessary details.

to have necessary repairs made to tho
hose house stalls. Select then mot
common council in Joint session.
On tho lower side of the house there
weit; present but Messrs. Thompson,
Kennedy, Evans, Masters and Neulon.
This was not a tiuorum, but the city
.solicitor stated that It would answer
tho purpose, as the business was but
of a non-ofnclal nature.
It was concerning tho pavement as
sessment dispute. Ho explained tho
difficulties which had arisen over the
Illegality of the transactions concern
ing the paving of Fork place, Sixth
avenue, South Main street and Eighth
nvoriue. The abutting property hold
ers had refused to pay their portions
because some slight technicalities In
the business had given them a loop
hole to crawl out. In order to over
come this, he thought the most ex
pedient way was to havo tho legis
lature pass a bill validating the ordi
nances, thus making the Hens hereto
fore. Issued holding on the properties.
lie bad prepared such a resolution,
and Renresentative I'hllbln had Intro
clueed It In the assembly, where It
parsed first and second readings. Since
then, however, opposition has sprung
up and Mr. Stuart, In order to assure
the representative of tho councilman's
standing on tho matter, suggested the
nassace of the resolution whoso text
Is given below:

BUMPED BY A TROLLEY CAR.
A Idttlo Accident Causes n Large
Amount of Excitement.
Morris Levy, well known about town,
was struck by a south-bound trolley
car Sunday night, near Simpson. Ho
was plckeel up, placed In a comfort
able position on the seat, and the car
made n record run to Dr. David
Bailey's office on Church street.
Tho spectacle of a man being carried
or helpeel Itno the doctor's oince from
the car at the time the churches were
being emptied of their congregations
drew a large crowd of curious persons,
who thronged In front of the olllce and
asked all manner of ejuestlons. Some
wag In the front of the gathering, on
being asked whnt was the trouble,-solemnly
answered thut "Steve Ollby has
shot a man," and immediately he was
overwhelmed by an avalanche of
queries, while comments of awe nnd
Indignation were excitedly buzzed by
the wondering onlookers which would
have made the constable's; ears burn.
After Dr. rial ley had finished tbu ex
amination he recommended that Mr.
Ievy bo taken to Emergency hospital.
There It was found that lie had suf
fered several bruises on his back, but
no serious Injuries were apparent. Ho
will probably havo a lame buck for
tome time.
When the car struck the victim It
was going at the usual record-breaking
gait which prevails in that part of tho
town, and the wonder of It all Is that
Mr. Levy wns so fortunate to escnpo
us well as he did. Tho perpetrator of
tho so-called Joko upon Constable
Ollby got away before his identity
could be learned.

The mnlu feature of tho bill makes
It compulsory for all mine owners to
provide a stretcher for every one. hun
dred men employed In a colliery: a
gallon of canon oil to every fifty men
eniployeil nnd a first aid package for
every sixteen men. Thu oil nnd llrst
aid pneknges, which nre to be avail

placed' In hoxes.whlch with tho stretch
e'rs, nre to be distributed at conven

tall but u small outlay of money to the
operators.
