he Is NOT DEAD.-Please don't mourn
any more for Leander s. Richard son, who
was reported killet by Indians on his way
TO the Black Hills. He has turned up I'm a
telegraph dispatch. Mr.. IDJun didn't get
him. His memorandum book was reporfei
found on "riddled" cadaver. Even his ex :
lellent stepmother was little anxious about
him, well as she knew him. His old crOnies
put their tongues in their cheeks and made
gestures OF incredulity. His pcor young wife,
Addie Gilman, who plays the part of a SOU
brette at the Fifth Avenue Theater, invested
$50 in frantic dispatches to Omaha, Chicago
Bismarck, Cheyenne, and Salt Lake CITY
and Low he lives to have more obituaries
written about him. The one puzzle is how
such story could get started concerning the
young man. He has been the hero OF pre-
vious episodes-thts pensive youth has

Leander went out and got some embroidered

The lecture room of Taylor Academy was
we'll filled last evening with very intelli-
audience to hear the last of Prof. j. X. Tay-
lor's course of illustrated lectures on Cali
fornia. The subject for last night was Col
orado and its scenery. Mr.. Taylor began
his discourse with delivering full and con-
else description ofthe State and the portions
from which his views were taken. He con-
tinued with an interesting recital of the
naodus operandi that the miners and mine
owners of Colorado pratice to get wealthy.
After some few more Introductory remarks,
Mr.. Taylor proceeded to illustrate his lee
ture with stereoptican views of the noun
tain cenery, and pleasure resorts near
Denver.
Y The illustrations of the lecture were ex-
cellent, and the view ofthe mountains were
grand and true nature, while those Of the
buildings we're Of that accurate charatcr
seldom seen in most exhibitions of the kind
The views, with Mr.. Taylor's expl anation

A TILT COUNCIL.
A Committee Charged with making
Charges to the Wr 0ng OOmm1 1ttee.

A Committee Charged with making
Charges to the Wr ong Committee.
There was quite lively debate between
Mr.. Mcintyre and Mr.. Hayes in council last
evening, over the resolutions offered by the
lattcr gentleman, making it incumbent upon
each committee to refer all their advertise
ments and other matter to be printed to the
Printing Committee, and giving that COM
mittee power to act in the matter.
Mr.. Mcintyre stated in the course
of the debate, that the committee OF
which Mr.. Hayes was chairman, had con.
tracted with city paper, for advertise
mcnt, and had the bill paid out Of
the appropriation for the printing, a
thing which he had no right to do, quite
breeze followed, and Mr.. Mcintyre called
upon the clerk for the bill, which was pro.
duced, and 1t was found that it had been SO
charged. Council subsequently had the
Printing COMMITTEES credited with the
amount of the bill, and the bill itsell
changed to the incidental account.
Mr.. Mcintyre also charged Mr.. Hayes
with refusing to give the Republican" al
advertisement for personal reasons, and
Mr.. Hayes retortcd in kind. He said that
he inserted advertisements in certain pr.
pers because he wanted them to reach the
entire people;
1t is fair to state that Mr.. Hayes cs
plained that the charge in question was
made inadvertently, and 1t was by his mo
tiop corrected. The little discussion en-
| livened the otherwise dull session.

A Faithful FIagman's Death.

The hagman, John Mulligan, whom
"Harper's Magazine" once brought into
notice as the man who "kept up perpet-
ual race with destruction" died at his resi-
dence, Fourth street between Lombard aud

ness of typhoid fever. Mr.. Mulligan was
an employe of the P. W. s. B. Co., and had
been in its service almost eleven years.
During that period he has run ahead Of the

One week ago last Tuesday he left his post,
unable longer to flag the trains, and at once
took to his bed. Although comparatively
obscure, while known of every one by his
office, he was man of true nobility, this
trait in his character being well displayed
in the faithful manner in which he dis.
