the CITY DADS.
a Somewhat Sensational Meeting.
The Chairman of the Fire Department Commit
tee Charged with Crookedness.
in April.


The regular meeting of the City Council was
held on Tuesday evening. 1t promised to be cx-
cecdingly prosy and unimportant at the start,
but in the end developed into the one sensational
meeting of the year-a decidedly fashy wind upto
the present councils business, for their term
lasts but two weeks longer
Written reports, etc, will be found in the off
cia minutes.
The matter of the removal of the Supreme
Court contemplated by the bill already passed by
the senate at Springfield was discussed. Some
thought that Mcssrs Rcddick and Armstrong,
now at Springfield, might be n sufficient lobby
to take care of the matter, but it was finally left
with the Mayor to take such action rs he might
deem necessary.
The Marshal's annual report showed:
Total fines imposed. .....................s $3.50 40
Total collected in cash. .................. S2OOO
Total worked out. .............,.. 49, ~
Among the bills were $61j for fixing street
lamps; 81 1 for repairing Jail after some obstrcp
crous drunkards had occupied it; &c cents for
shipping away tramp; $3.50 for removing nui-
sanccs and burying dead animals; $40 for fees
due Justice Larkin worked out on the roads
sol 81 for gas for street lamps; $3.50 for light
ing street lamps: so interest on loan; $3.50 for
repairing steamer; $40 for boarding prisoners
and tramps; - for cleaning Jail; and Sll.17 for
street labor
When the bill Of the Gas Company came up,
Aid. Hoban started the periodical discussion by
saying he found the gas bills largc-cNccssiyc.
In January the west side lamps burned but little
gas yet the bills were just large. Several
lamps were out Of repair-onc, corner of Jctlcr-
son and Clay sts, had not been lighted for five or
six weeks. Somebody ought to look after these
IthiRgs-thc committee cannot. He said it seemed
to him as though for every 1000 feet burned the
city paid for 1000. No matter how economical
the city is, the bills are just as large. Shulcr
said that In the engine house during February
not onc-quartcr the gas was burned that wa. con
sumcd in January, when the hill was $40 Feb.
$40 sl, The men using but one burner inside the
house Griffith said the meters were all right.
He thought, though, that the aldermen who find
fault with the bills should report damaged or
unlightcd lamps. Mr.. Hoban, for example,
though lamp near him has not been lighted for
or weeks, has never 80 reported ii. The bills
are much lighter than last years excepting at
the hall for the past two months. Sluler said Mr..
Hall had reported to the gas man a lad leak
but he had not fixed it, Logan said that last
month, while the Waterman was there, he kept
five burners going all night! The gas bin Is cuor-
nous, but hc couldn't say where The difficulty
was. Hull said there i, one burner outside light
ed from sunset TO sunrise and sam. inside the
hall: they must consume gas. 1t is evident the

More RObberies

Frank o. E. Odell discovered, yesterday,
that he had met with serious loss. He came
here last April in search Of health and was
stopping at the Kellar residence on Dayton
bluff. His trunk was left in the lumber Of
tice on the corner Of Seventh and Minnesota.
On yesterday he opened the trunk for the first
time In a week and to his sorrow found that it
had been rifed of its contents. Two overcoats,
two full suits of clothes, ladies' ohatelain
chain, pocket book, ETC., were missing. A
couple of shirts and bible were all that
were left. The clothes were very fine and
MIR. Odell estimates his loss, at the lowest cal
culation, at 5000. Ho was contemplating re-
turning East in a few days and this loss falls
very heavily upon him.
One of the GLOBE attaches discovered on
yesterday that he had lost valuable dress
coat. His room is in Rogers block, and it was
entered during his absence and the coat taken.
He has foresworn society for the coming winter
but hopes to make up the loss in time to put
in an appearance at the watering places next
summer,

Successful Venture Of a Horse Thief.

Wednesday evening Mr.. Sweeny, resident of
Burnsville, made mp his mind to come to st.
Paul. he followed the original bent of his iu-
olination, got hero yesterday, but not in the
way he originally intended. Mr.. sweeny's
story goes, and it went off at police headquar-
ters yesterday morning early, that having con-
cluded to come to st. Paul, he made prepare
tions as follows: ....-
He filed his two-horse wagon with country
produce, then harnessed up his two horses, so
as to be in readiness for early start, say 4 or
clock A. NJ. Tho horses were put in the
stable, dressed, and ho undressed himself and
went to bed. Yesterday morning about or
5o'clook he got up, dressed himself, went to
the stable, and found that his horses had been
undressed-the harness taken off-and
the horses gone and no traces of the horses OF
thieves had been found. Mr.. Sweeny is par
ticularly unfortunate. just year ago he lost
valuable horse in u similar manner, and
from that day to this has heard nothing of the
animal. The pair of horses stolen this time
are both serviccable and valuable, and their
loss will be almost irreparable
