gest that at its coming session the City
Council should appoint an officer to be call.
ed the Inspector of Brass Bands. The duties
of his Office should be in the first place, to
pass upon the merits of all brass bands pro-
posing to occupy the streets, and to sum-
marly exclude from the profession all those
aspiring members who were obviously In

the distance between brass bands. Any

Commander in Chief of the district, the
United States Senator, and some of the up

Late last night DR., D. S. johnson, who
was arrested on a warrant issued by
Esquire Spelman and charging him
with the murder Of the girl Katie Nc
Cormick by administering to her drugs
in order to procure an abortion, gave
bond in the sum Of $4,000 to answer the
charge before the Criminal Court. The
witnesses in the horrible case we're sum
moned to appear before the Grand Jury
to-day. There are many strage features
connected with the case which have
caused considerable comment, especi-
ally the effort made to shield the accused
from exposure and punishment. The
pOst'mortem examination did not take
place as intended to-day. The remains
Of the murdered girl we're conveyed to
the cemetery for interment.

that the Council had created a committee
on Lamps and Lights" there being two

Hill to decide as to the matter with ref.

and petitions. Councilman Donovan re-
piled eloquently to the argument Of

thrown by either on the dark subject.
Chairman Hill avoided the complex
question and wished to leave it for the
consideration Of Chairman Williamson,
