PROTEST
A CouneiIman Wants to stick 10 h
Letter of the Law.

~ VI
Councilman Luck has taken decided
grounds against tie allowance Of any &C
counts improperly contracted by the corpo-
ration and not in strict accordance withthe
corporation laws. When the monthly ac-
counts reported by the Finance CCfamittee
to the City Council were read at the meet
ing Of the Board of Common Council,
Thursday night, he offered the following
protest against the allowance of certain ae-
counts embraced in the committees report:
The undersigned member OF your Street
and Finance committees hereby protest
against the allowance Of the following bills,
on the grodiid that they have been created
in violation Of section 10 Of chapter :,
| Lellyett's Digest of City Laws
James Underwood for shubbery... S94.S5
| Pay roll Of Sanitary Force....... 5000

zt-VO
| For lumber. ........... 153.45
For Broad street plank sidewalk. 2O5.5O
Bills for broken stone. 1924
For clay pipe. Z9-9o
| do not oppose the allowance of these
bills with any idea the equivalent specified
has not been rendered, bus do IL as the
only means l know of under existing laws
TO check the monthly creation OF liability,
amounting 10 thousands Of dollars during
the year by officers and members of this
| city government in violation Of laws they
are sworn to see respected and observed.
All other citizens are fined or imprisoned
for violating our laws, ard it is my opinion
that if the proper officers would do their
duty, city officials would be treated the
same.
The following is the section referred to
in the protest:
Section 10. That no person, whether a
member of the City Council or officer Of
the corporation, shall order, contract, or do
anything, whereby an expenditure Of money
is the consequence, or liability is to be in
CURED. unless authorized by existing laws,
or by order of the City Council; and the
Recorder is hereby required to issue no
check upon the Treasurer in his official
character, for money, unless by authority
of the City Council, or in pursuance of ex-
isting laws of the corporation; Provided,
that the sWaterwOrks Committee shall not
be prevented, in case of emergency, from
making all necessary expenditures to keep
the waterworks in good repair and condi-
ton and in active operation.

Property from the burning buildings.
The ladies also took hold with will
and rendered valuable service in this
direction. During the height of the
conflagration, dispatch was sent to
bring the Waterloo fireman to the
rescue, but owing to the absence Of
the operator at Waterloo from the
office, the message was not received.
Nobody doubts that the tiremen of
our sister city would have responded
to the summons with the utmost zeal
and alacrity had they been aware of
our extremity.
Regarding the origin of the fire
there have been many rumors, and
some have attributed it to incendiaries.
a careful review of all the facts does
not warrant this idea, however.
There is no evidence to substantiate
the belief that anybody has deliber-
ately and maliciously tried to burn
our town, and our readers at home
and abroad may dismiss all notions
of this kind. The fire undoubtedly
originated from defective fiue and
its lesson is one of greater care in
construction, and stricter caution in
the management of fires, rather than
| increased police vigilance, though
the latter is not out ofplace.
THE LOSSES.
The following list of losses and
the amount of Insurance has been
carefully corrected from information
derived from the parties who suffered
by the fire, and is believed to repre-
sent very nearly the actual figures:

Testing Seed Corn.

A correspondent of the Western
Farmer writes: On the upper side
Of the kernel, or the side next to
the tip Of the ear, is a cove or in
dentation. At the bottom Of this
cove lies the germ, and very near
the surface, being covered With lit.
tie else than the thin hull Of the
kernel. Ii the seed possesses vi
tality this germ will be plainly Wis
ible, in the form of a narrow round
ed cord, or stripe, running from
the head of the cove towards the
point Of the kernel, and usually Of a
darker color than the general sur
face Of the cove. Its appearance
is more as if imbedded in the kerr
mel and slightly covered With :"
semi-transparent surface. II the
enamel of the cove is bright and
smooth and this iiae- visible, we
may be sure tho seed will germi-
nate. If the surface Of the cove is
wrinkled and no line visible, it will
be useless to test it in earth.

AsECOND FIRE
Two nights after the events narrat-
ed above, our citizens were again call
ed from their beds by the clang OF
the fire alarm. About half past IL
o'clock on Wednesday evening, the
Star Foundry and machine shop
owned by Frank Megow, was discov.
cred to be on fire. The Steamer be.
ing disabled, and the fire hav ing, be.
fore discovery, got a fair start in the
dry wooden foundry building, all
efforts to stop it were futile. The
surrounding buildings except the ma.
chine shop were however saved by
the exertion of the hremen and citi-
zens. The greatest excitement pre-
vailed in consequence of this later
fire. Many discovered in it the con-
firmatien of their theory that syste-
matte purpose was entertained by
somebody, to burn up our city. Yet
i'll this case, as in the other, the pre-
sumption Of incendiarism was utterly
at fault. The fire at the foundry was
without doubt the result of accident
if not carelessncss. Mr.. Mccow's
loss was $500, with $500 insurance.
The blow falls upon a very worthy
and industrious young man, who is
noways discouraged however. He
has already the frame up for a new
foundry, and hopes to make available
with some repairs, the engine and a
portion Of the tools in the machine
shop.
