days ago he was before the Mayor for
stealing S14 from Mrs. Stoeckly on Mar

against the young rascal was conclu i've
" to his guilt, but owing to his extreme
iouth, the Mayor released him after
ping HIM in q cell tor nay or two.
But this appears to have had no ef-
feet upon little Smith, tor yesterday
morning he entered Huber's saloon on
Market street near Eighth street and

Consulting ON Opening a street

Council held special meeting last
evening On Harrison street between
Eighth and Ninth streets, to consult IN
regard to opening the first named street
between the latter two. A request TO
have the street opened and graded had
been made by Joseph l.. Carpenter, ";
and everal others, who desire TO build
on either side of the street a. soon a. the
work can be done. The ground, AZ Is
we'll known, lies very high here, aud the
work can only bo done at heavy ex'
panse.
Inthe absence of President Lichten-
stein, Mr.. Taylor was called to the chair
Mr.. McGlinchey. chairman or the
opening streets committee then made
statement in regard 10 the work. He
said that owing to the nature OF the
ground, the work could not be done fol

to give the members of Council time to

It was generally thought among thu
members presuut, that If the necessary
funds could be raised to be used in open
