their opposition 70 Joan, and a count
of the votes was had with the same
result. Joan was defeated by ma
jority Of twelve. By this time things
began to get warm in that meeting
of wise heads, and they found out as
the King and Queen had already
found to their cost, that it was BY no
means SO easy a thing after all to
name baby. The fairy knew more
about that than any Of them. How
ever the business Of the meeting
proceeded. In rapid succession each
Of the others was called upon to sug.
gest a name, and Stella, Eudora,
Daisy, Diana and Martha had all
been suggested and voted down by
the unvarying majority, one for and
thirteen against. As the name sug-

THE WATER COMMITTEE OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF BALTIMORE VISITING
THIS CITY.
This morning, Messrs. M. Il.
Mooney, j. G. Toner, r. A. Poulton,
Robert Johnston and John McWil-
liams, comprising the Committee on
Water of the first and second branches
of the City Council of Baltimore, ar
rived in this city.
In the monumental city there are
two or three hundred public pumps on
tfe streets for the use of pedestrians
and dumb animals. A short time ago
the water in these pumps was analysed
by the Health Commissioners, ard it
proved to be unfit for use and calcu-
lated to breed disease. The Commis-
sioners thereupon condemned the
pumps, and ordered the City Council
to have them at once removed.
In lieu of the pumps the Council de-
cided 10 erect street fountains, and the
Committee on Water were instructed
to visit this city, and examine the
fountains now in use here, also the
cost of running them aud all minor de-
tails.
Upon tho arrival of the committee
they called at the City Hall, and, after
introducing themselves to Clerk of
Council E. B. Frazer, stated their er-
rand. Mr.. Frazer at once took them
to the Water Department and introp
duced them to Chief Engineer McIn~
tire. The committee will be escorted
around to the various fountains during
the day by some of oar city officials.

Nearly An Accident.

As the Port Deposit Aecommoda tion
train was nearing French street this
morning it came very near causing an
accident. The driver OF heavy loaded
team crossed the track in front OF the
train and SO close was the tram, that the
locomotive almost grazed the hind
wheels Of the wagon.
Had an accident occurred it would
have resulted from the negligence of the
hagman at the crossing who did not leave
his watch house until the train had reach
ed the west side of the crossing. As there
are a number Of teams crossing the rail
road al that point, there should ar efficl'
