City Marshal Hawss requests US to say
that he made mistake in calculating the
saving to the city on meals for prisoners /;
that the saving will not be as much as he
calculated. He calculated the saving to be
S2l3.25 less than he should.
There are various opinions about the
proposed city prison. Some people say
that if we are to have one the city should
build it on its own ground at the junction
of Buffalo aud Eagle streets. Others say
the matter is well enough as it is; that a
city prison means more city offices to till,
such as keepers, janitors, etc, and jobs for
feeding prisoners, washing, etc, and that
instead of being saving it would result in
greater cost than now and that it will be
better to wait until the people get ready to
erect a city building in Union Square, for
all the city offices-a fine building, with
basement for storage of fuel, etc.; first
| floor for police court, marshaPs Office, water
commissioner Office, AID city prison; sec
ond floor for council room, clerks office,
and mayors Office; and third floor for
public library and free reading room. Also
that the council room should remain where
it now is, until that building shall be erect
ed The place it is proposed to occupy
is not suitable one for couuci
room; the access is narrow, winding and
obscure, not at all comparable with the one
now occupied. and the light and ventilati, Z
are insufficient, being all at one end of the
room, and only three windows, while the
present room has seven windows, light on
both sides, excellent ventilation, wide and
plain entrance. and room enough. The
proposed place has not sufficient room, and
would pretty effectually shut the people
out from council meetings, an idea alder
men might like, but one which the people
| will not tolerate. If any change in that
respect is made, there should be more
room for ru5lc attendance that the people
may watch their servants and see how they
conduct themselves Because there is a
water closet in the proposed place is hard
| ly sufficient reason for moving.

ST.. LOUIS, May 24.-A special to the
Globe Democrat from Sedalia says:
Three members Of a family named Fin.
ley living in Cooper county, thirteen
miles from Sedalia, died of starvation
last week.
A dispatch to the same paper from
Jefferson City says that during a sermon
delivered in the hall of the House of
Representatives last night by Rev. Mr..
Prottsman be alluded to the destitutisn
among the people in several counties of
the State occasioned by grasshoppers,
After the sermon the congregation re,
solved itself into a mass-meeting, with
Governor Hardin in the chair. Resolu-
tons we're adopted setting forth hat the
grasshoppers, achinch bug, etc., we're
running the agricultural districts, and
that Providence alone could prevent the
terrible state Of %Rffs:rs; that commits
'Hioners be appointed by the Governor for
every county in the State to solicit re-
lief for the sufferers; that collections for
the destitute be taken up in the different
churches on the Sd of June, the day set
apart by the Governor as one Of fasting
and prayer and requestingG Gov. Hardin to
issue another proclamation, ~embodying
in it the proceedings Of this meeting.
The same reporter says the people are
arriving at Jefferson City from all sec,
tons of the country and state that most
Of the grasshopper talk is all bosh;
and that they can be scooped up
by the bushel in some counties, but they
are doing little or no damage to the
growing crops. They all assert that the
Governors proclamation has done great
injury, and that immigration to the
State will be much retarded thereby.

A Phillipsburg pa dispatch says a
welcome rain set in last night, relieving
the fears Of the residents Of that thickly
wooded section at Osceola. Yesterday
a thousand rations were issued to the
destitute. The town was full Of sight
sesrs. The Mohannon branch railroad
was temporarily repaired Saturday sufi-
GENTLY to allow trains to pass, and coal
shipping will probably be- resumed to-
day One of the greatest needs of the
people is food for such Of their cattle as
have not beeH destroyed, as all green
food in the woods and fields have been
burned. eivsd
A Lsckawaxen, Pennsylvania, dis.
patch states that the rains Friday night
and Saturday were MOI heavy enough to
wet the forests and underbrush suAi-
ciently, aud the FIRE again broke out
Sunday in several places and threaten
more damage, but little is actually
known as to the real amosnt Of destruc-
ton, as there are hundreds of isolated
settlements and hundreds Of r.ills in
Pike, Wayne, Sullivan and Missouri
counties, where the fires have been rag
ing. The tract of land on Taylor's
creek, formerly owned by Horace Gree
ley and the site Of the old Tourrierite
community was swept of everything.
Bears, deer, wild pigeons and all kinds
of game have been driven by the fires
on Pocono Range into enclosures with
tame cattle and around settlements. In
the region Of Lackawsxen over one hun
dred miles of forest have been burned,
and it is now feared that the fire will
again gain Roadway, as the wood now
standing is as dry as finder.
