ed paid. The sexton reported receipts for
Inlerments amounting to Sll9 80. The
transfer of lot 3S4 from W. Rose to c. S.

which were ordered paid.
The Police Committee wanted $40 for

army, which YVES granted. Bills amount.
ing 10 1888 SO were ordered paid.
Fine Department-Biis amounting TO
S5l6.73 were ordered paid. Louis Stab was

Island reel, at 1915. w. J. Cots was or
dered paid $40 for injuries received in be-
ing thrown from his reel while going to
fire.
City Prison-Bills from the Superlntend.
ent, Sal So, and OF the committee, 1878,
were ordered paid. The committe was or
dered to put board roof on the prison.
Twenty prisoners were on hand on the
first of the month. During July the pris.
oners were worked 346 days, and Sc loads
of stone were taken from the breaking
shed. The city clerk was ordered to pay
the Waterman and cook each month.
On Accountable usual examination of
the books and accounts OF the clerk and re.
ceiver were reported and they were found
to balance. They found the following
amounts standing to the credit of the
funds:
General, 1892 p; contingent, s997.45; aP-
preparation, $l72ll.
The committee reported a resolution to
pay Joseph Speidel & Co. Sc for break OF
his wagon, on the wharf, he to receipt in
full of all damages. Over this resolution,
the Branch took considerable wind on its
stomach. Many considered this an open
ing wedge for all cases OF accident, past
and future, and wanted a test case made.
As q result of this spacious reasoning, the
bill was rejected by a vote OF IL to 8.

THE BRICK STREET.

Now we will have magnificent boule-

Twenty-fourth, will be laid in brick, and
will make, by long odds, the finest street
in the city. by the efforts Of DR.. Reeves,
the citizens purse of 500 was raised, and
the Board of Public Works will at once
order the brick. These are fire brick and
come from New Cumberland, and it is
estimated that 3OO,O 900 of them will do the
work A test has been made TO show the
dura5i ity of the brick it was submitted to
hydraulic pressure of 20 tons, standing il
thoroughly, while the same pressure
crushed a cObble stone into sand. For paw
ing purposes the bricks are set on edge,
making smooth, solid surface, and are
filled in with tar and hot sand, bed hsv.
ing been first prepared. The pavement
will do away with crossings entirely.
When this street is completed, it will be
cot only clean and beautiful, but will be-
come the driving street of the city. Teams
will go skirmishing over it, and the Board
expects to get enough in fines for fast driy-
ing TO pay for the street. Citizens along
there who remember what an ocean of mud
Chapline street becomes in winter, will
hail the brick street with exceeding great

The Advantages OF the Sew Money.

The AayantaEes OF the Few Money

The new postal orden, 70 be issusd on
October 1, promises to be very ussfut and
in great demand. They are designed fo'
the use Of persons who desire to send
through the mails, sums Of less than S.
The Government has heretofore solemnly
warned the public not to PIT their MONEY
in envelopes. Under the new system out
distant cousin can visit her postotfce with
81 %, or any lesser suu, and dsposit the
same with fee of three cents. The issuing
postmaster will then punch three holes, 70
the right of the order. showing the dollars
cents and dimes deposited, and two more
holes TO the left through the month and
year. He will then affix his stamp and
signature and hand over the note without
requiring, rs at present, the horoscope and
pedigree Of the sender and receiver.
At the paying postoffice, upon the re-
ceipt of duplicate from the issuing post
Office, the face amount of the sote WILL De

of Identification and Endorsement having
been abandoned. Thus for the three
months during which the potc is good II
will be a ready substitute for legal tender
in tie towns both Of the issuing and receiv'
ing offices. The decrease in revenue from
the money order department by lowering
the price of small order from ten - three
cents will doubtless be large. On the other
hand, the expense Of detecting and con-
vlcting the large number of clerks and car.
riers throughout the country who in face
of the general honesty OF the department,
are yearly found guilty OF pilferfng small
sums from the mails, will be. completely
done away with.
The law under which the note goes into
operation wss passed at the last session OF
Congress A similar system has prevailed
in England for some time, it having been
originally proposed by the English Post
master General Fawcett, who, although
physically blind, has q remarkably clear
mental vision. In spite of determined op.
position in Parliament the ministerial
majority passed the bill, and the despised
note became such a fayorite that it is now
proposed &c. have note for fractions OF q
shilling. The symtem has been found TO be
of particular benefit TO small tradespeople,
farmers and others who have small sums
TO transmit.

Capt. Devries, OF this city, attorney J.
H. Collins and other officials of the B. 4
o. Railroad Company, had a conference
with the Commissionioners of Belmont
county yesterday. The Baltimore and
Ohio management wants to run line from
Bel!aire up to Bridgeport, to connect with
the Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling road
and wants to get right OF way over the
country road. TIE Commissioners have
recently contracted for piling the road and
the compsny wanted 10 wait a month aud
have these contracts stood off. An agree
ment could not be reached and the COM
pany will probably condemn the way up.

the village over the Hill.

Monday evening fight took place in
Lawrence Hellers saloon in which the pro-
prietor received several blows The fuss
originated from dispute over q game OF
pool.
Mr.. Ritter, a shoemaker, took on too
much beer yesterday and thinking he was
a second Sampson, commenced to carry out
and destroy the counter, benches, &c in
his house. He was finally quieted down
by number of citizens, VINO laid him
down and put their combined weight on
his body.
The Fulton Sunday school scholars will
have festival at their church tomorrow
evening. The intention is to raise a sutfic-
lent sum OF money to purchase a new
library for the Sunday school. This is
good cause, and it is hoped the citizens
will patronize the children's entertain ment.
Sunday evening, Louis Kraft undertook
to assert his rights as master OF his man
sion in a more forcible than elegant man
ner. During the fuss he, in very scientific
manner BACKED his better halfs eyes.
Yesterday the lady appeared before Squire
Peterman and had warrant issued for her
husband. Dame rumor states that she will
enter suit for q divorce to-day

Fred Miller and wife had very narrow
escape from death Monday night. He re-
tired to bed and in some manner extin-
guished the gas, without turning it entire
ly of. His wife came into the room q
short time afterwards and retired. suppos-
ing the gas had been properly turned off
Early Tuesday morning she was awakened
by violent crampins in her stomach, which
caused her to scream with pain. This
awakened the family, as also Mr.. Miller,
Who was found to be IN similar condition
Medical attention was Immediately pro.
cured and after laborious efforts the pair
were pronounced out Of danger. This is
certainly one of the narrowest escapes on
record, as the room was filled with gas
which they had been inhaling for several
hours.
