Mayor laser had stated that while at
tending the meeting Of Mayors at Spring,
field he was mortified to know that he
represented the only city in the State
which was not paying the interest on It's
indebtedness. This debt would have to
he Maid in the end, and under the pres mt
state of affairs We were liable to have to
nav in one year from $4,000 to $50 900
which would be hardship grievous to
be borne. BY funding our Indebtedness
in the manner proposed. we would have
this trouble entirely off cur hands, with
nothing but the interest to pay annually
When oar proposed system Of railroads
shall have enhanced the value OF the real
estate of Galena, and given an impetus
to business, those who come alter rs can
paw of the principal Of the debt without
any hardship. This railroad could not
be built without the aid proposed and
even if it could, the city Indebtedness,
while in its present shape, would be a
constant incubus on our prosperity.
At the close of Mr.. Johnson remarks,
which we have reported but impetectly
Mr.. Brand offered the following resolu-
tious, which were adopted without dis
centlng voice:
Resolsed That in the dgment Of this
meeting, it is the duty of the City Coun
Gil to fund the City Indebtedness in such
manner as will aid in the construction OF
the Railroad
Resolced, That the City Council be ge-
spectfully requested to pass IA Ordinance
to fund al the City Indebtedness that
may be subscribed as stock in said Rail
Road, and TO fund the same payable at
the State Treasury in twenty years, IN
lerest to be payable where the interest
on State indebtedness is paid, on the con-
dition it is to be used in the construction
of the Rail Road, and in no other way,
or for any other purpose
n motion of NJ Y Johnson, Esq, it
was voted that the Chair appoint CONS
mittee Of three to present these resoIu-
tons to the City Council, and respectfully
request the Council to act in accordance
with their suggestions
The Chair appointed ~ such commit
tee, Messrs X Barrett, K, Brand and l..
ShisSler, after which the meeting adj
journed
This was the largest Of the railroad
meetings that have yet been held and the
meeting was composed largely of intelli-
gent business men. The fact that not
a single voice in this large gathering OF
citizens was raised against the proposed
scheme Of funding the Indebtedness for
the benefit o. the railroad, may be taken
ms IN in 4iration Of the prayuiHnp scDti~
ment of III city. We hope and believe
that the City Council will act in aocord~
ance with the request of this meeting.

city Of IVotrtowa, recently argued
before the u. S. Court at La Crosse,
writing Il letter to the Watertown
Republican made brief report of the

We denied the power of the Court, under
any circumstances, to do what was asked
Oar city charter exempts all private
property from seizure, or sale on execu>

The main argument Of Mr. Rees
counsel was that the Court could not
levy n tax to mako payment; that this
would be to execute state laws and per-
form the duties OF State officers; that it
must take and sell any mans property,

The Michigan Senate has passed bill max
ing voluntary drunkenness cause for remov-

The New York papers chronicle the suicide
by drowning of Mrs. Emma Fox, whose hus-
band, w. w. Fox, of Newport, r. l., died
at the Everett House in February. His drink
ing habits caused separation, and she went
to the house of friend, whence she made
her way to the river. Her body was elegant
ly dressed, and bore rich diamonds, a costly
watch, etc. She was worth Sl0O, 900 in her
own right.
A novel method of manufacturing soft soap
has been inadvertently invented by a vener-
able couple in Wayne county, Iowa. On the
sideboard they keep two jugs exactly alike.
One was filled with vinegar, the other with
I've. Turning to her husband, she remarked
that something was the matter with that vine
gar. Thinking that her taste was perverted,
he, too, took big drink. Presently their
threats and mouths began to burn, and an
examination of the jugs revealed the fact that
they had been drinking strong lye. To allay
the pain they took some oil. This combined,
of course, and made soft soap. The soap
suds swelled up to and out of their mouths,
foaming like washerwoman's tub. While
they were discussing the theory of swallow
ing an Irish girl and a scrub broom, and
following up the dose with few buckets of
rinse water, medical gentleman happened
to call, who gave them some medicine which
afforded relief. They were seriously ill for
several days, and for three weeks had great
difficulty in taking food.

The Washington correspondent of the
Now York Tribune says ''there is high au-
thority for the statement that the Fishery
question, and also the question of the Ala
bama Claims, have already been so far
disposed of by the Joint High Commission
rs to be no longer matters of discussion at
the sessions of the Commission. 1t may
indeed be said that the basis of an agree
ment on the Alabama Claims has already
been secured which will probably be sat-
isfactory to the representatives of both
countries. 1t is also ascertained that the
questions named above have occupied less
of the time of the Commission than the
not less important one of the San Juan
Boundary case, which has been the most
difficult and complicated, and which has
caused the most discussion, research. and
examination. This, it is stated, is now
the only point of difference between the
United States and the English Commits
sioners. and the duties of the Commission
would have closed by this time but for thi:
question Nothing has occurred lately to
change the statement made in The Tribune
a few days ago, that the labors Of the
Commission would terminate in fort
night. The Treaty will certainly be ready
in less than two weeks, and the President
has said, within two days, that he intend
ed to call an extra session Of the Senate, for
the purpose OF considering the treaty, if
Congress should adjourn before the pre-
sentation of the Commissioners agree
ment."
