THE COMMON COUNCIL.

Providing for the Drainage of the North
eastern Part of the City.
A special meeting of the Common Council,
called for the transaction of unfinished business
was held last night
A communication was received from the met
ropolitan police commissioners, stating that they
would gladly cooperate with the chief fire en-
gneer in enforcing the law requiring ''hotels
and houses of entertainment" to be provided with
fire escapes The communication was referred
to the fire board.
The ordinance providing for the drainage of
the northeastern portion of the city
by widening, deepening and Strengthening the
State ditch to be paid out of the special levy of
ten cents on the $100,>which was the special fea-
ture of the session, was discussed at length.
Mr.. Spahr offered an amendment providing that
''no work shall be done upon the ditch before
August, 1884, and no money shall be taken from
the general fund to pay for the proposed i'm
provements 'In anticipation of the special fund
to be realized from the levy for sewerage and
drainage purposes Mr.. Curry, in speaking upon
the ordinance, opposed its passage for the rea-
son that he believed the Improvement of Pogue's
Run the overflow of which has caused far greater
Damage IMAM Dne OVerQOWS OF Une state ulUc1, Is
more urgently needed Mr.. Thalman expressed
himself as strongly opposed to the ordinance be-
cause it involveda greater expenditure of money
than the city had available, and because he be-
lleved Pogue's run should be improved first
The work should not be begun, at any rate, until
there is money in the treasury to meet the de-
mands. Mr.. Spain urged the passage of the
ordinance, claiming that it was a necessity for
the protection of the property in the north
eastern portion of the city, and said
that the cry that there is no money
in the treasury is a scarecrow. In this con-
nection he spoke with some asperity of the action
of previous councils in the expenditure of money,
which provoked dispute. Mr.. Reynolds believed
that the improvement of the State ditch in such
way as to prevent over1ows in the future
would enhance the value of property in that vi
cinity, and more would be gained in the increase
of valuation than the interest on the money
needed for the improvements would amount
to. Messrs Pearson and Newcomb
spoke in opposition to the ordinance,
while Bowling and Downey favored it's passage
A motion to lay Mr. Spahr's amendment on the
table was defeated by vote of Ii to 9. The
ordinance passed by vote of IA to 8, the ballot
standing as follows:

ney, Doyle, Edenharter, Mack, Moran, McClel-

GENERAL NEWS ITEMS.
Ancient Rims i'm Mexico.

Ancient ruins have recently been
discovered in Sonora which If reports,
are true, surpass anything of the kind
vet found on this continent. The ru-
ms are said to be about four leagues
southeast of Magdalena There is one
pyramid which has base of $50 feet,
and rises to the hight of $50 feet.
There is winding roadway from the
bottom, leading up an easy grade to
the top, wide enough for carriages to
pass over, said to be twenty three
miles in lhngth. The outer walls of
the roadway are laid in solid mason
ry, huge blocks of granite in rubble
work, and the circles are as uniform
and the grade as regular as they could
be made at this day by our best engi-
neers. The wall is only occasionly
exposed, being covered over with de-
bris and earth, and in many places
the sahuaro and other indigenous
plants and trees have grown up, Civ
the pyramids the appearance of a
mountain. To the east OF the pyra-
mids n short distance is small noun
tain, about the same size. which rises
about the same height, and ifreports
are true, it will prove more interest
ing to the archaologist than the pyr-

A Proposal to Tax French Bach
elorS.

/ tax is proposed on bachelors in
the next French budget The pream-
reads: Considering the growing de
crease in the population in France, it
has become necessary to impose a tax
on all single persons over-years of
age OF the male sex" Some OF the
causes of this decrease ara that no
Frenchman under twenty five can
marry without the consent of his par
ents. This consent is invariably with
held if the girl is portionless. On the
other hand, if the girl be well provid-
ed for. her kinsfolk will not only let
her marry unless the mans portion
be in proportion to hers, bat they will
effectually prevent all possibility OF
her making the acquaintance of a
poor man. In France an invitation
to private dinner or ball is general
ly preceded by an inquiry into the fl
nancial position of the recipient of
such an invitation, which for thor
oughness viii beat anything and ev
erything detectives in London or Par
is could accomplish.

A "Dreamo that was Realized,

CoSSELLsvuLE, Pa, October 90
This morning when Rice Orbin came
down to breakfast at his parents
home, in Bradford, he exclaimed, in
frightened tones: Il had terrible
dream last night. l drempt that L
shot man while out hunting last
Thursday" His relatives laughed
at the matter, but young Orbin in
sisted upon going to the scene of
the hunting and finally persuaded
his brother in-law, named Jones, to
accompany him. Arriving at spot
five miles from home in a dense
thicket of laurel, they found the body
of Jacob Klink, with bullet hoe
through the brain. Orbin and his
companion were Mortified, and has.i-
ly returned to town and notified
Justice Campbell, who will hold an
inquest tomorrow. Orbln's story is
received with some degree of incred
ulity, the general opinion being that
he shot klink accidently and was
afraid to confess Both men bore
good regulations The air of mys-
tery surrounding the killing is the
source of great deal of comment.
