THE COUNCIL.
supply.

1t is probable that the council will not
settle down to business at it its meeting
this evening until late hour, as there are
three committees which will hold meetings
before the converting of that body.
The Bridge committee will meet this
evening for the purpose of opening bids
on the masonry work at the Milan bridge
1t was expected that these bids would be
opened during the afternoon, but on ac-
count of the enforced absence of one of
the members, the meeting was deferred IN
til this evening.
The sewer committee and the special
committee on electric tower location will
also meet late this afternoon and evening,
when reports will be adopted for the con-
sideration of the Council this evening.
The most important matter that will
come before the council this evening is the
location of the towers for the electric light
system.
1t is expected that this subject will give
the different alderman a chance to talk
and ventilate their views on fair distri-
button of the electric light.
This afternoon the special committee of
the council adopted the following locations
for the electric light towers: Fourth
avenue and Fifth street; Third avenue and
Ninth street; Seventh avenue and Eleventh
street; Fourth avenue and Thirteenth
street; Third avenue and Seventeenth street
Sixth avenue and Twenty-first street;
Fifth avenue and Twenty sixth street;
Seventh avenue and Elm street; Fifth
street and Robbins avenue

A BOTTLE TRICK.

A row occurred between two of the
colored deck hands of the steamer Mary
Morton during her last down trip, which
will cause one of the cOmbatants to hide
his facial beauty under court plaster for the
next few weeks at least.
Thomas Jefferson was embracing the
drowsy God while not employed on active
duty, and his slumbers were abruptly term
mated by Moses Tucker who placed piece
the neck. The ice made its way down
the back of the sleeping rouster, and
caused him to jump up and demand the
name of the man who interrupted his slum-
bers.
He had his suspicion that "Mose" was
the identical man who had caused the
trouble and forthwith proce eded to chas
tise him. Jefferson struck Tucker with
piece of coal, and the latter planted blow
ON Jeffersons face with an empty soda
bottle, which caused him to fall PROSTATE
or the deck.
jefferson attempted to rise, when his as
sailant struck him another blow with a
board, which inflicted bad wound across
his left cheek.
This unpleasantness occurred just as the
boat was landing at Princeton, and Tuck
er thinking that he had killed his man,
jumped ashore and made out for the
woods.
The wounded negro was carried to Dav-
export, where his wounds were dressed by
DR., Maxwell, who pronounced them serious
but not of fatal character

THE POST OFFICE.

The work of removing the furniture and
appointments of the old Postoff1ce was
commenced yesterday morning, after the
distribution of the morning mails was con-
Guided. The removal was completed dur
ing the day, and this morning the new
quarters in the store recently occupied by
McCabe Bros, as a dry goods establish
ment was thrown open to the public, a
full fledge postoffice.
Notwithstanding the fact that the CON
templated removal had been made public,
numerous persons visited the old stand
during the morning, and appe AIRED mystified
by not finding it open. They would look
at their watches and stare around as if they
feared that the postal department had
temporarily suspended. All this occurred
with new postoffice in the adjoining the
storeroem.
A force of workmen were set to work in
the old quarters, and the metomarphosis
of that room into well appointed post
office was commenced.
The improvements consists in placing a
tile floor over the apartment, and the
erection of 1 500 new patent lock boxes.
The new postoffice viii be ready for use by
the LIST of September.
When completed there will be no call
boxes until late hour every night and
also during the greater part of Sunday.
In view of the increased conveniences it is
expected that every one will subscribe at
once for the lock boxes

A BRANCH.

j. M. Christy, the proprietor of the we'll
known Christy cracker establishment of
this city, returned from Des Moines last
Saturday. He visited that growing city
not for his health, nor did he go there to
view the sights. His trip was of a bust
ness character and was highly successful.
as he completed arrangements by which
he assumes control of the cracker factory
of Balkon Bros, located in that place
Mr. Christy will conduct that fish
ment in conjunction with his < ry in
this city, and intends to make the branch
house in every way worthy of the name
and fame which attaches itself to the home
establishment.
W. w. Clark, of this city, will take
charge of the Des Moines factory at once.
1t is expected that the branch house will
be enlarged in the near future, as the ex-
tensive business of the factory will soon
necessitate faculties for increasing the
supply.

POLITICS.

The congressional fight for the republi-
can nomination is gradually approaching
termination, and the prospects are quite
fiatterlng that Col. Marsh, the present mem
Der from Hancock county will be the sue
cessful nominee.
He has already secured the delegation
from Schuyler, Warren and McDonouoh
counties, with strong probability that he
will secure the delegates from Mercer,
which will give him fifty delegates out of
ninety-four votes in the convention.
News from Henderson this morning is
to the effect that at the primaries held in
that county last Saturday, the majority of
delegates to the county convention were
favorable to Maj. McClaughry, and these
six delegates with the eighteen from Han
cock county will give that candidate some
twenty-four votes IN the convention
Rock Island county, with her twenty
votes. is solid for w. Ell. Gest. of this city,
and coalition, if any is made, will be
effected with the Marsh faction, so as to
gain some little prestige in the new district
and lay the wires for the next nomination
The situation as at present is that Marsh
has thirtyeight delegates instructed for
him, McClaughry twenty-four, and Gest
twenty.
The result hinges on the action of Mer-
Ger county, which has twelve votes IF the
delegation is favorable to Marsh he will
have enough votes to nominate against all
opposition, but if McClaughry should re-
ceive their backing, the fight will be most
interesting affair.
These best acquainted in Mercer county,
however, are confident that Marsh will
secure the county delegation, which will
settle the whole affair, before ballot is
taken

description, and attributed her conduct to
hvsteria. The fact still remains that she
was seen by two different persons to swal-
low some liquid from a vial which she held
in her hand. and vial having on its sur
face the advertisement of a Covington,
KY, firm, was found on the platform later
in the evening. The young lady claimed
to be from Cincinnati, and as Covington is
directly across the river from that city, it
is thought that the vial discovered was
the same from which she was seen to swal-
low the contents.
The physician who attended her Thurs
day night was Intercepted on the subject,
and he stated that there could be no doubt
but that his patient was suffering from an
over dose of morphine. This was demon
strated by the stupor which was striking
characteristic of her condition ON Thurs
day night, and also by the involuntary and
continuous contraction of the pupils of the
eye. The patient was walked and not al
lowed to sleep, and as soon as the pupils
of the eyes commenced to dilate and as
sumo their normal condition, the young
lady was not so prone to stupor. F..
Another feature of the case which con-
WINGED the physician that the patient was
from the effects of an opiate, was
the etching" of the nose on the morning
after the attack, which is a well defined
result of snch drugs.
He had no hesitation in saying that an
opiate of some description had been taken,
her contradiction to the contrary notwith
standing.

WATER TEST.

The test of the water works machinery.
which was to have taken place to-day, was

absence of Mr.. Ira Holly, who was to
superintend the test on the part of the

ply with the contract, which calls for
eighty million foot pounds, with one humid
red pounds of coal, and is the measure of
the economic operation of the machinery

poets the machinery will develop a fuel
duty over ninety millions.
