ENFORCING IT.-Mr. Louis Kenner, the
active superintendent Of streets, has CON-
menced to enforce the city ordinance re-
garding Instructions On the levee. He first
placed his carts in the First District and
tackled piles Of ballast, some of which lad
been there over two years. The owners. if
there are any. refused or neglected to obey
Most of the ballast has been deposited in
vacant lots expressly hired for that pur-
pose. Three hundred cart loads have
already been hauled. In few instances
the owners offered little wOrdy Opposi-
tion, saying something about suing, ETC..
but it is thought that very little litigation
will grow out Of the case.

ONE MORE HOMICIDE.-TnO Hack Drtr-

o'clock last evening, Martin Mccormack
and John Jerrett, hack drivers, were at the
Lake end of the new shell road, having
loads of passengers. About five years ago
they had a quarrel, and ever since there
has existed q bitterness between them,
which eliminated yesterday in the death OF
Mccormack. Deceased attacked Jerrett
with a shovel. striking some severe blows,
one of which broke JerIetts right arm. AT
this iuncture Jerret3 drew revolver and
fred at Mccormack: one bullet killing oe,
ceased instantly. Jerrett soon afterward
surrendered to Officer Stone, of the mount
ed force, stating that he had acted entirely
in self-defense. This statement is IN part
verified by some of those who witnessed the
foht. Several witnesses were present, and
their names were secured by the poiice:
The body was sent up to the HAN way
House, and thence transferred to the
,nonnted police station, where Coroner
Folwell visited it last night, but the hour
was too late to complete the inquest or lind

The Cleveland Plsindealr pithily
says: THE Modoc business i worse
and worse. First, the Government per,
secutes the Modocs and provokes them
into hostility. Second, the Government
sends an armed force against them,
which the Indians drive of the field,
killing and wounding large number.
Third, the Government appoints . COM
mission to proceed to the mighty Mo-
docs, and abjectly ask them what they
want, with power to settle the difficulty
to the Modocs' entirs satisfaction. 1t
seems to US that nothing is left to com
plete the grotesque humiliation OF this
picture. The United States Govern
ment forcing a handful Of naked saw
ages into a hght, getting whipped out
OF its boots, and then requesting the
said naked savages to name their terms!
Phil SHsRIDAS's "victory" over the

enough; but it pales before this Modoc

A STAPLE argument of the Radicals

statement that has been put forth since
the election and since the party neces-

the public debt is actually increasing.

ladslphia is $2.15 on the hundred dol

complain that great abuse is perpe-

of private bills exempting certain
property in the city from municipal
taxation. These bills are readily passed
for the accommodation Of the polite
and influential owners OF the property

in regard to the matter, though the

A Terrible AFFAIR in Fayette County

A Terrible AFFAIR I'm Fayette County.
About eighteen months ago the neigh

which occurred between a Mr.. John 0.

resulted in the death Of the latter. To.

party carried guns, which were dis
charged alternately, ut random or in

her stepdauehter were standing in the
doorway. She (then Mrs, Potter was
leaning against the door.facing, holding
a lighted candle, looking on the party

Almost instantly four guns were fred,
the contents OF one Of the four striking

Of Mrs. Potter, crushing the bone and
lodging about the centre Of the head.
She imme distely fell, and was conveyed
to her bed. DR.. H: B. Dickinson Vac

wound and pronounced it fatal, giving
it as his opinion that the wound was
caused by q hard tow wad discharged
