wal selected as the official who should per.
form the duty OF serving the papers on both

retaining the right, during the progress OF
The investigation to summon such witnesses
as the occasian seemed to demand, the Chair
stating the committee desired to get at the

vailed.
The Mayor was instructed to employ
counsel, and then, on motion Of Mr.. List,

evening at 7 o'clock.
From the above report of last evenings
meeting it will be seen that we are in for a
long investigation and one which, under the
method determined upon by the committee,
cannot but cost the city quite a sum. 1t
was suggested after the adjournment of the
meeting last night, in the interest of econo-
my, and as a means of speedily closing up
the matter, that both the defence and the
city discard the idea Of employing counsel,
and have the hearing before the City Solic'
itor, he to sit in the same manner as a
Judge Advocate at a court marshal, swear
ing The witnesses and hearing the questions,
The Babies in the Cradle.
Babies are very little things, yet they
leave great gaps of loneliness behind them
when they die. Mothers, save your little
ore by giving them Psrker's Tonic when
they show signs OF being unwell. This ia
nous remedy is so pleasant that any infant
will take it, and it will soon quiet and re
move their aches and pains.
