A short time since at meeting OF
the city council, committee was APP
pointed to note the condition of Ross
avenue, and have the same graded

done, though the work is very neces-

gulleys which renders the passage for
vehicles very difficult. or all the

avenue has received the least atten-

marrow Escape from Drovp,,r

Yesterday morning, while about hall
a dozen little boys were playing on the
bank Of the river, below the ford, one
OF their number, q little fellow named
Harry WEIGH fell into the river. He
sank twice, and would undoubtedly
have drowned If negro man, lobe
Perry, who was at work near the scene,
had not went TO his rescue. The negro
had on all bis clothing, and 1t was with
great difficulty that he could again
reach the bank with his charge. After
short while Harry was all right, and
able to proceed home. The negro
Perry deserves great credit for this
noble act.

Considerable interest Is manifested

TO say, that the city engi-
nPer and street commissioner are under
the orders of the committee on streets

with the street gang as il ordered
by the city council, or by the
street committee, and he has
no discriminating powers, except
so far as his Judgment as an engineer
is called upon to decide as to the best
ma ner of carrying out the intentions
OF the city council. Work enough has
been ordered already by the council to
keep the street gang busy for six
months, and 1t rests with the
chairman of the street committee, DIR.
Newsom, rs to the order in which the
different orders shall be taken up and
completed. Many of the orders of
the council are for work Of
imperativ enecessity, and should have
been begun long since, but for the
rainy spell, among which is the boxing
of the ditch In Magnolia street, the
bridge over Dallas Branch In Marten

Lonergan's foundry, the boxing of the
ditch in Sycamore street, and the pro-
lection of the lots along the Fourth
