The same public spirited individual,
who, when the water began to get low in
the mill pond, attached little flags to
the ugly stumps just beneath the sur
face, so that no boating party might
come to untimely shipwreck upon them,
now that the water has been drawn off,
has improved the opportunity to burn
the same distractions to navigation out
of the way, entirely. But for his mod
esty, we would give his name, but he de-
serves, just the same, the thanks of
those who go down upon the waters.

A M,pcu,r Errcrrn ILL., r;.,

A MARSHAL ELEcTED.-The City
Council at its regular session, last Mon
day evening, finally succeeded in clccting
a City Marshal. AS was anticipated,
the result was what no fellow could
have foretold, and it is not too much to
say that the choice does not give entire
satisfaction to the public. The success
full candidate is Mr.. Samuel Leslie, who
is at present night operator and man of
all work at the ILL., Central depot. Mr..
Leslie's name had not been mentioned
among the list of candidates for the
place, and it is l.:ntcl that his election
was due to sharp practice on the part of
his friends in the Council. Be that as
it may, it is certain that it is not due to
a conviction on the part of the members
that he was the best qualified man among
the candidates for the place, or that he
was the man demanded by the people.
For ourselves, we have no particular OBJ
lection to Mr. Leslie, and are willing to
admit that he may make most efficient
officer The only criticism that we have
to offer is against the disposition shown
in this as well as other matters by the
Council to evade it's duty and to decide
questions on grounds of policy rather
than solid judgment; to turn and twist,
and defer to this and that prejudice or
selfish consideration, rather than to
stand up to the rack and meet every
issue on its merits. TO apply this: we
do not suppose, and we do not think
that anybody else supposes that the
Council in their choice for Marshal took
the man, among all the candidates, whom
they deemed best fitted by capacity, effic-
iency, judgment and experience to guard
the peace of the city. Yetit would seem
to common minds that this should be
the only consideration in their choice.
But as we said before, we are not going
to take serious exception to their action
of Monday evening, but to hope that
they have made lucky choice. Two
ballots were cast, and the record stands
as follows:
FIRST BALLOT.
For Chas. Schwartz Myers, Scarclitf and
Roads.
For Chas. Smith-O'Brien and Durham.
For H. Freed-smith, Donnan, Johnston and
Shipley.
Aid. Sherwood absent.
SECOND BALLOT.

non, Durham and Shipley
For d. p. Shattuck-O' Brien.

Body AFFRAY-A late number of
the Beuna Vista Sentinel gives the par
ticulars of a tragedy with fatal results
at Newell, in that county, in which Will
White, of the Mirror, formerly of this
city and one of the BULLETIN force, was
a prominent actor The following is the
Standards account of the lamentable
affair:
Reports have reached us of an affray
at Newell which resulted in the death of
one party to it. 1t seems that some
kind of feud has long existed between
Will White, of the Mirror, and G. H.
lcken, and that on yesterday, while the
former was wedding his onion bed, Icken
came into the garden and in some way re-
newed the old disturbance, when White
gave chase through the garden, and when
near the corner Of the house seized an
ak, and without any warning struck his
enemy, completely severing his head
from his body. White made no attempt
to escape, and at last accounts had not
been placed under arrest Furthermore,
we learn that White ended the melee by
having the chicken served for dinner.
Such procedure should not be allowed
to pass unnoticed.

BURGLARY AND HORSE STEALING
The grocery store of D. +. Bisbee, on
the west side, was entered on Wednes-
day night through the back door, by
aid of an ak, by house breakers, who
carried off few cans of fruit, some can
dies, box of cigars and miscellaneous
assortment of eatables and delicacies of
one sort or another, in all amounting to
no great value. The rascals wrenched
the money drawer from the counter,
but got nothing for their pains, for it
was empty. Having victualed up they
left without further depredations at
that place.
But their raid upon the store was
only preliminary and preparatory to'a
greater enterprise From there the
burglars went to the barn of S. S. Clark,
in the immediate vicinity, and taking
therefrom an old mare, used for driving
about town, harnessed her, and hitched
her to spring wagon, and loading in the
provisions, left for parts, at the present
writing, unknown. The theft was not
discovered until the next morning
when officer Handy was put upon track
Of the rascals. They can hardly escape.
There was an entirely new buggy in the
barn that escaped the notice of the
thieves and also two other horses belong
ing to the mill wagon.
Stevens & Norton's meat market, on
Chatham street, also received vista
ton from the light fingured gentry, on
Saturday night. They got in by cutting
wire screen off the back door, and
took the money drawer, containing some
S. and a coat and hat. The money
drawer (empty) was found in the lumber
yard adjoining, the next morning. No
trace of the scoundrels.
LATER-Just as we go to press we
learn that the horse and wagon was yes
terday discovered by boy, secreted in
the Spring Greek timber, about 6 miles
south of Jesup. Word was sent to Jes-
up and an officer went down and arrest
ed one of the robbers, two others escap-
ing We did not learn the name of the
culprit. The horse and wagon was Sc
cured.
