I live at Orange, on the Morris and

between that town and New York, ]
pay the annual communication made by

Now would not the Morris and Es-

me for the aggregate amount of all the
regular fare for all the trips 1 ever
made under the Communication that the
Government has to sue Mr.. Tilden for
his income tax, when he paid the

was called to the chair.
Mr.. McGlinchey from the Opening
Street Committee, presented deed
from W. A. Murphy and others, for
the bed of Pleasant street, between
Adams and Jackson streets, and moved
that it be accepted.
Mr.. Paynter said he did not know
anything about the street in question,
whether it was of the width required
by ordinance or not. He thought
that it should be ascertained before

been imposed upon several times by
accepting deeds for streets that were
not wide enough.
Mr.. Mention stated that he knew
where the street was, and that 1t
would require at least six thousand
yards of dirt to bring it toGrade, and
that would be considerable expense to
the city. He thought that the men,
bers had better see the street before
voting to accept the deed He there
fore, moved, that when Council ad-
journed, it adjourn to meet at Front
and Monroe street, on Saturday after
noon, at 5 O'Clock. The motion was
adopted.

996 SO in bank to the credit Of current

ssquies Here.
One Of the saddest events that hss
happened Ia this city for some time
was the funeral yesterday of Misi
Emma Yates, daughter OF John G.
Yates, the we'll known merchant tailor
on Market street, below Second. Miss
Yates has been in i'll health for some
time, from pulmonary affection, and
recently resided for year in Colorado,
hoping that her health would be rscov.
cred thereby. Returning to this city
she started, on last Christmas eve, for
q visit to North Carolina, where her
disease terminated fatally on Wednes-
day morning last. The remains wsre
brought on to this city and inferred
yesterday morning in the Wilmington
and Brandywine Cemetery.
Miss Yates had q very large circle Of
friends and acquaintance and her
funeral was onsequently an unusually
large one. The estimation in which
she was held was shown by the pro.
fusion of floral offerings and also by
the beautiful oasket which received the
remains.
Impressive services were conducted
at the house by Rev. DR.. Stevenson of
Grace church, assisted by Rev. Mr..
Keigwin, of the West Presbyterian
church, and Rev. Mr.. Plummer.
