left his lion". in Port Deposit, and was
seen wanderin. about in The ncighhoihood
Of the Sun, one stormy day about the mid
die Of February, and the writer alluded to
had charged, in not very gentle mood
the citizens of the Sun with being governed
by the spirit which Influenced the Priest
and the Ievie.
Our correspondent in cNtenuation of the
Sun-folks, says: :. When this man the
insane Individuals first made his appear
ancc. no one knew whence lie came. He
summed the village and every lerson who
sought to approach him, cvading all qucs-

1t was to inform the questioner that it WAS

pushed On, refusing further intercourse.

to the Minister Of War, that he may
furnish the statement which he began

grave resolutions which the situation
required, he thought it would bs wis

The Reason Wby!

1t leaked out yesterday. in the dis
cussion Of the shameful proceedings in
the City Council, of Monday night,
that the controlling reason why
Councilman Doughty was not elected
Mayor pro tenn. was that Van Ripper
could not oford to haUs ham IN that
position. As acting Mayor, Dir.
Doughty would officially have a
right to know all about the
city's interests. The Finance Com

him an insight into its secret manage
ment. He could demaUd q full and
complete history Of the Water Works
