dinance; it simply suspended one. It did not
affect rates Of fare, and was added simply as 3
matter Of safety.
Aid. Clark thought the first resolution strong
enough, and that the second one did repeal all
ordinances.

The resolution vas adopted-yeas, 80.
Aid. Iracey'B resolution Was taken up.
Aid. McAyoy moved to include State street,
Indiana avenue, etc.
The resolution was adopted.
The Mayor said two points Of objection had
been made to such 3 resolution. It hCl been
feared that the roads might raise their charges
to more than cents, and the other, that they
might not need the dummies on the road for
fifteen days. The disease might pass off before
that time, and animal power could be replaced.
He had, therefore, to meet thoee points, drawn
up the following additional clause:
That nothing in this resolution shall be construed to
permit or authorize auid horse railway companies to
charge more than cents fare. This resol ntion
shall be subject to repeal at any meeting Of the Com
mon Council before the exsiration Of said fifteen
days.
That last clause he had drawn up for the fol-
lowing reason: It might happen that horses
would be alarmed by running those dummies,
and there might be accidents, attended with loss
of life or limb, and the Council might feel an1-
ious to get rid Of the responsibility inside OF

Council would not be tied down absolutely to
fifteen days. The Aldermen or the Mayor could
call the Council together any day, if
an e1igency arose, and repeal the permit. He
therefore suggested the adoption of the addi-
to guard sss sssnss abs ss fo damages or
abuse Of that permission on the part Of the
horse railways, or their charging more than five
cents.
The resolution drawn up by the Mayor was
then read.
AID. McGenniss said that the railway compa-
nies did not ask that privilege; it was done at
the suggestion Of the city authorities: The
companies could Use these engines but with diff
hculty. They desired to take no advantage
whatever of the citizens.
Aid. KnicAerbocker moved to reconsider the
resolution just passed. .......
Aid. Clark thought that unnecessary. They
could also pass the one the Mayor proposed.
The resolution was passed.

It has been the impression that the horse-dls-
case would prevent our merchants from filling
their country orders. This is very erroneous, as
they have not, as yet, been behind on any orders,
and rather than be, the inside force will devote
part of their time to the transportation to the
railroads Of the goods they have sold. Nothing
will prevent them from filling all orders that

can say ssgee " and shaw" so as to guide the
most stubborn steer. He thinks that profanity
enters largely, but unnecessarily, INTO the YER
nacular of or drivers and is fearful OF the effect
OF the introduction Of oxon into the community,
believing that it will have g bad influence upon
the youth OF the city, and teach them new and
strange Impressions.
