THE THIRD AND FOURTH
WARDS.

The storm yesterday afternoon did
considerable damage in both the Third
and Fourth wards. Houses and signs
were wrecked indiscriminately. The
zine roofs especially suffered rs is
blows.
Messrs. AID Henry and Hamilton
Fitzsimmons are both quite sick with
the typhoid fever, and are under the
protecting care of DR.. Moore. The
former was much better yesterday but
Mr.. Fitzsimmons is still very ILL.,
Oscar Lynch circulates about the
Third and Fourth wards as OF yore
and with his accustomed thoughtful
ness drops handkerchiefs around on
lumber piles with the most careful in
difference.
Now that n petition asking Judge
Beckham to order an election for
aldermen in thel Third and Fourth
wards has been presented, it is in or
der for would-be statesmen to an
nounce their candidacy.
The mud in the T. and Il. wards was
simply terrible last night. 1t is time
that the city council took steps to-
wards forcing prop rty owners to put
down good sidewalks.
The election in the Third and Fourth
wards begins to cause considerable
talk. Considerable canvassiug is going
on quietly, and lively time may be
expected TO run or Aot to run is the
question with great many.
Hell's Half Acre has been remarka-

away the debris occasioned by the
work me street improvements are
pushed with an energy worthy of the
cause, and an obstacle seems insur.
nountable to those engaged in the
work. But the moment ii is finished
the energy seems to ooze out of the
tips Of the fingers of those entrusted
with the work. No one complains of
the piles OF stone and gravel that OBJ
struct the thoroughfare where the
work Ia going on, and teamsters drive
over or around them without a muir.

press company claims that the amount
of freight they were putting in is less
than they often carry, and did not
reach eleven thousand pounds by a
good deal. The affair was particularly
unfortunate for the Pacific express
company as they had nothing to do
with the trouble and yet they were
also forced to suffer, as the car is di-
vided into two compartments, either
company having half the ear. The
affair is rendered still more unfortu-
nate by the fact that much of the
freight was perishable.
