INTERFERENcE WITH PRIVATE

lNTERFERENcE WITH PRIVATE
RIaHrs.-For great many years the
City Council has been in lie habi of
interfering WI b private rights in the
matter of bing aud paving side
walks in froIt of property over which
the city had no ownership. Under
certain circumstances this would be
right. But in many cases it has been
mere usurpation of authority by
which the city has lost maoy dollars,
made no improvement and conferred
no benefit upon the property. This
was especially the case some ten years
ago when the streets on this South Side
were curbed beyond the built up city
limits, even as far as Eden Park. One
OF the members of the City Council
owned farm not far beyond this !;
but the surbing was stopped before
1t got to his farm, SO that he was not
put TO expense but other owners
were. The curb was suffered to re +,
main and has since been to a ereat
distance covered with sand and dirt,
no pavement having been put down
in all that time. In this case it was a
positive usurpation of authority and
We doubt if the City Council ever re
covered half the cost of the work,
which was mainly done to give a job
TO q political favorile who was paid
out OF the funds OF the city. A good
many Of such jobs have since been
done we doubt not. In such case.
those who want to get jobs get up
petitions 10 have work done where
often 1t is not necessary. We believe
the Council now proposes TO give the
owner the privilege of curbing and
paving himself, before it undertake.
the work. But that IL does not al
ways do 30 we are quite sure and il
is OF this that he complaint arises
We do not think the law will bear III,
Council out in doing work of thi
kind on land that belongs to citizens
and In many cases where it as don,
We know the Council failed 10 coilec
the money that it cost the city; no
did it dare to prosecute so defectiy
were the claims 1t raised. In al
cases the citizen should have tn
right TO pave the sidewalk before hi
own property. The city has lost
large amount of money by doing thi
work, and it should do as little of
rs possible, and never do it until
has first given the owner ample tim
to have it done himself, after the wor
has been ordered by a vote of til
Council.

Congress made up list Of fair rates

difficulties presented themselves than
ought to exist now, after so much la
Dor aud care have been bestowed in
arranging and printing the several

though the Committee Of Ways and

IMPORTERS REJoIcINe.-New York
importers are rejoicing over the Su-
preme Court decision that the act OF
June 8. 1872, repealed the act of June
80, 1854, and exempted many articles
of import from duty. The opinion,
which was handed down by Judge
Field, reverses the ruling OF President
Arthur when he was collector Of New
York. 1t is estimated that the gov
ernment will have to pay back to i'm.
porters more than $3.50, 900.

CONGRESS AND THE TARIFF The
members OF Congress have been very
reticent about the tariff, aud it is not
known what action will be taken on
this important matter, it is even
doubtful whether any bill will be
passed at all during this session and
in fact it would seem better that none
should be passed rather than the bill

have been q great failing in ability If

A few days ago / happened to pass a

another soldier similarly occupied, whom
l addressed In the same manner. "You

A good wagon bridge across Powder

THAT
The Facts or the Casa series Of
nishAps.


As to thu way accident that oe.
CURED on 18th ssreet Monday, it seems
that few points were misstated, as we
learn from reliable authority. The
horses, it seems, had been accustomed
to blinds. and the imported Russian
harness, gold mounted, had no blinds.
Hence, when a short turn was made,
one of the animals espied the barouche
and reared in fright. AT this time the
horses were going on a walk. Mr..
Robertson stepped ont 10 catch the
frightened horse. when the other horse
took fright and jumped, coming down
on the pole Of the barouche, swapping
it in twain. Then Nj. Terry got out
to catch a wheel and prevent the vehi-
Gle from running against the horses
heels, as they were going down hill,
still on a walk. Both animals then
kicked up high, soaring each other, and
they started of on a dead run.
Realizing that the vehicle must be
upset in the nature of the case, Mrs.
Emmons told Sam. Raley, her driver,
to Jump. He did SO, jumping about
sixteen feet. Mrs. Emmons calculated
that il she attempted TO jump, her
clothing would catch and cause her in
~juries. But that If she could hold
tightly to the seat, the top of the ba-
rouche would save her. The vehicle
was upset and it rolled over and over.
but Mrs. Emmons retained firm hold
of the seat. When the harness broke
and liberated the horses, she was
enabled to creep from under the ba-
rouche, as stated yesterday, with
scarcely a scratch.

A Lucky Accident.

The passenger train which arrived
here yesterday morning over the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy road, met
with quite an exciting but fortunate
accident on Thursday near Maiden,
one hundred miles out from Chicago.
The engine struck a COW, threw her in
to the air, and when she landed she
fell under the cars. The rear truck of
one OF the passenger coaches was de-
rallied, and the wheels ran on the ties.
The car went humping along at this
way for nearly two miles, almost
frightening the passengers to death.
One man jumped from the car into q
snow bank, and was pretty badly
bruised. Others were thinking serious.
ly of following him. They continued,
however, to pull the bell-rope in hopes
Of getting the engineer to stop. He
heard the bell and knew something was
wrong, but he vas unable to stop the
train at once, the reason being, as wa.
afterwards learned, that the air brakes
had been broken. The train kept
moving on, gradually slackening it.
