When the election for President of the
Newport & Covington Bridge takes place
Council would do well to select man who
is not afraid to let the public see what
business is transacted. The bridge is
owned by the two towns, and the public
are always desirous of learning how their
corporations are being conducted. The
only way they have of ascertaining it now
is whatever the Secretary chooses to give to
the reporters. R. A. McDannold is entire
ly too full of egotism to be the presiding
officer of any public place.
Elizabeth Banks. poor unfortunate,
| was found in an alley between Fifth and
Sixth and Scott and Greenup Streets about
eleven o'clock last night, in drunken
stupor. Dr. Reisse was called to her as
sistance, but too late to be of any use, for
she died about midnight. She has been a
hard drinker for years. and her death, it is
thought, was due solely to excessive alco-
holism.
Coroner DeGruyder held an inquest to-
day, and the jury returned verdict OF
death from apopexy, superinduced by
excessive drinking"

Mr.. N. B. Stephens, Mr.. David Cree and
Mr.. James L. Henderson appeared at the
Mayors Office yesterday evening and lodged
information and filed affidavits to the
above effect. These gentlemen are the
subcommittee of the Committee oi
, Twenty-Five formed some time ago to en-
force the observance of the Sunday law.
The proposed amendment to the charter
in relation to the Water-works, is yet the
all.absorbing topic of conversation in. this
community. The people seem to be some
what divided in opinion. Nearly all, how
ever agree that some change in the pres
ent system is necessary. We see no reason
why the City Treasurer should not receive
and account for all the moneys of the city
In that aspect at least, it seems to US. The
proposed amendment is salutary. There
are MANY reasons why the Chief of the
Fire Department should be Super
intendent of Water-works The only
, valid reason we hear urged
against it, is that the Commissioners by
this act must be selected from members o
Council. The fact alone of person beinl
a member of Council is sufficient evidenc,
of the confidence of the people in that per
son. else they would never have elected
that person to Council. Three Commits
sioners are not sufficient to manage tn
! Works as they should be managed.
On the whole we think the proposed
amendment good one, and are therefor
for it.
The law as it now stands Is construe,
differently by the two bodies. Let us hav
it explicit, and have done with the wrangle
The rumor that Edith O'Gorman ha,
been employed by the Sunday law eu
forcers is untrue.
