More WardS.-We learn that it is
the intention of parties to call a meet |
ing of the citizens soon, to consider
the feasibility, propriety and neces-
sity of establishing three more wards |
in this city. 1t is the proposition to |
make two Wards on the west side of
the river and three on the east side.
Last spring, previous to election, a
similar meeting was called and we
believe it was the sense of a majority |
of those present that the division |
should be made. For some reason |
the Council failed to act upon the
matter, portion of that body claim
ing that the meeting did not repre-
senta sufficiently large portion of the
citizens and property holders of the
city. How true this may be we are
not prepared to say; but we hope, in
review Of the proposed meeting, that
the subject will be thoroughly can
vassed.-will be examined in all its
bearings-that the Council may be
prepared to act in accordance with |
the wishes of the people.
Let this matter be discussed in |
good spirit and in such way as will /
ensure a fair consideration of it for
or against more wards.
We favor five wards. More in the |
future.
RunaWay.-Tuesday morning last at |
about four A. NJ. a runaway occurred
near Searles' Saw Mill. B. Vannette |
and two sons of c. NJ. Funk were
driving a team near the place above
indicated, where one of them lighted |
match for the purpose ofseeing what
time it was. The horses took fright |
and started to run. One of the boys
jumped out as the animals started and |
escaped injury.
The other boy took hold of the lines
with Mr.. Vannette to try and stop |
the horses. They were unable to con.
troll them and the boy jumped out. |
The horses had then run about twenty |
rods. A short distance from that place |
was a turn in the road and as the hor-
ses went around the corner the wagon |
upset and Mr.. V. was thrown to the |
ground, and his ankle was sprained. !
The horses here became detached from
he wagon and ran a few rods and !
stopped. The boy that jumped last
from the wagon was found insensible
and remained so for some time. His
face was badly cut and he received |
severe bruises. He is not considered |
dangerous. The wagon was consider
ably broken. Taking all things to-
gether the escape of one or more of
the parties from death was very mar
row.
