We are pleased to note the fact that it is in
contemplation to number the business hous-

The absence of proper directions has been at

and others here on business. Messrs McLane
and AlversOn are the gentlemen who have
undertaken to accomplish the work, under
the sanction of the City council.
Their compensation will be the mere nominal
sum OF fifty cents for each number located,
which will be assessed upon those owning the
property. As it is q work that speaks for it
sell we hope our citizens will universally con-
tribute to forward it, so that the numbering
may be as full and complete as possible. and

The charter election in this city on Monday
last was an anamolus one. There were but
two tickets in the field for city officers the
regular Republican ticket, and the Peoples
Ticket" made up of Democrats and Republi
cans, about equally divided The Treasurer
and the Marshal were the same on both Tick
cts.
For Aldermen in the third and fourth ward:
there were any quantity of splits. Weprinted
over thousand split tickets for the fourth
ward in which there are but 1876 voters all told
The regular Republican nominees however
were elected. In the third ward the regular
Republican ticket for aldermen was defeated
by ''the Peoples" ticket, which however, was
composed ofall Republicans, as we understand
In the first ward the contest on aldermen
was very close, two of the candidates on the
republican ticket, while John E. Bailey on the
Peoples ticket was elected by one majority
in the second ward, the Republicans made
no nominations for ward officers and the PEG
pies ticket had the field to itself.
We have seldom seen in this city more an
mated canvass, but it was a mere personal
matter. The question of politics had nothing
to do with the activity Several Republicans
were at work for the Peoples ticket with great
earnestness. We presume our Democratic
friends will claim it as a great democratic
victory, and we can well afford to allow then
to De it. 1t is long time since they have
had anything to crow over and it would be
cruel to deprive them of such little crumt

A RIcH ScENE.-Two young ladies in San
in opposite directions, happened to meet face
to face, and as it was very muddy on both
sides OF the crossing, neither would turn out
OF the way, but stood staring at each other for
about quarter OF an hour. During that time
crowd OF about three or four hundred peo-
pie assembled, the street was blocked mn and
traIhc had TO come to a stand still The fe-
males were young and well dressed, and look
! ed as If they ought to have had better ideas
OF Propriety than they exhibited. The crowd
hootcd and Jeered, and appeared to enjoy the
scene amazingly. Atlength policeman came
along, and compelled one Of them to take the
right, ''as the law directs" The look of con
ctntrated hate given by the party who had to
step oil the walk Is said to have been indies
cribable.
