No More Burtals at ereenlawn.

at a meeting of the undertakers of the city,
held at Flanner & HOmmown's last evening it
was resolved to bury no more bodies in Green
lawn Cemetery. According to a recent decision
of the Supreme Court the city s not responsible
for the sections management of the cemetery,
and in two instances damages have been recov-
cred from the undertakers where bodies were
buried on private lots. The sexton has never
been furnished plat of the cemetery, and
knows nothing regarding what lots have been
sold for private use. The responsibility of the
eelnetery's management therefore falls upon
the undertakes, aud as a measure of sef-prO-
lection they resolved to make no more burlas
there. Seven of the leading undertakers signed
the agreement. and it is claimed that all will.
The result will probably be the closing OF the
cemetery,

A Move to Change Public to Conform to
Standard Railroad Time

A Move to Change Public to Conform to
Standard Railroad Time.
The authorities of the leading cities now
considering the advisability Of changing the pub
lie time to accord with the standard time to be
,adouted by the railroad companies on the 18th
of November. In eastern cities some opposition
to such change OF public time is springlng up
which, doubtless, is founded on a short-sighted
view of the question 1t is generally conceded
that, with the rapid growth otOur railway system,
the adoption of some uniform time standard Is
becoming imperative. The change might have
been delayed few years Longer, but each years
delay increases the inconvenience, and eventu-
ally, when railway traffic expands to a volume
of which we have now only slight animation,
the adoption of a more systematic method would
be forced upon the companies, not only as a
means of avoiding Inconvenience, but also that
accidents might be prevented, Now, taking 1t
for granted that for railway purposes there
must he a standard time, and that the one that
the standa rd-time convention has decided upon
is the most practicable, the question remains
whether it IS desirable for the general commu-
nifty TO have two time standards instead of one.
with the business growth of our country, and
with the disposition and necessity arising of
making frequent journeys, the railway has be.
come IN timately associated with the domestic
and trade life of OR people II seems desirable
that the public time and that of the railroads be

only thing now necessary to the contamination

DePauw's bequest to As6ury was fixed at 40
per cent. of portion of his estate, and it is esti
mated that the amount will probably be some
thing near 81 100000. Mr., De PAW was asked
