Total commemorative s. s29,499 20
These estimates show an increase Of S4.-
6O3.l IL over 1884, which seems to be a bad
way of starting out to secure setrenchment
in the matter Of municipal outlay. Should
the big committees, such as Stress, Alleys
and Grades, Water Works, Lights and Fire
Department, show a corresponding increase,
there will be need of a very material scaling
down of the committee recommendations
to bring the total safely within" the esti-
mated re venues OF the city, unless such
revenues show q very material increase over
last yea, which is not at all probable.
And spropos of scaling down these esti
mates, there seems to be q serious faw in
the ordinance under which the new order OF
things obtains. The original intention of
the trainers of the o dinauce
was to have the Committee on Fl.
nance 90 over the committee estimates, and
should the total amount called for exceed
the estimated revenues, scale the said est
mates down, and then report to Council the
estimated receipts and expenditures for rat
i6cation. But by some means unknown to
the members of Council who informally dis
cussed the matter last night, this provision
was left out of section 4, wherein the duties
Of the said Finance Committee in the prem
ises are set forth, and it was thought Oy sew.
eral gentlemen that the ordinance would
have TO be again gone over by Council and
so amended as to give the committee this
over.
The only committee, so far as we can
now Judge. which will probably send in a
otsl smaller than the sum expended last
yesr is the Committee on Fire Department,
and this will be largely accounted for by the
tact that the department had several extra
ordinary items of expense last year which
will not require to be provided tor this, tor
instance, the expenses consequent upon the
food and the purchase of the Niagara en-
CINE. The sum expended for maintenance
of the department in 1884 was $24,2Sl.l3.
Regarding the increases in the amounts
estimated for the Committees on Scales and
Police, $47.87 in the first instance and
$855.32 in the second, no cause appears on
The surface. The increase for the Commit
tee on Markets, $l,25l.52, is made up OF
several extraordinary expenses, such IA
new hose, repairs, contingencies, ETC., and
The same thing is true of the Committee on
Health, where there were allowances made
for pest house, compensation of five assist,
ants, as sanitary agents and inspectors, and
a decided increase in several other items.
The Committee on Markets also adopted q
| recommendation that the Centre market
space be rooted at a cost not to exceed
& 5000.
The Committee on Lights had no quo
rum, and will probably meet, in conjunction
with the gas trustees, tonight. The Com.
mittees on Streets, Alleys and Grades, and
The Board of Public Works, and the Com
mittee on Water Works and the Water
Board will also meet this evening at the
offices of the Boards, while the Committees
on City Prison, Cemeteries and Real Estate
will also probably meet o,dsy. .
1t is thought Council will not meet until
Friday night.

The Finest in the World.

A crowded house greeted the first appear
ance of the Deckers at the Chapline street
rink last night, and every spectator was de.
lighted and astonished by the wonderful
performance given by these celebrated rink
stare. Little Miss Ina Decker, who is only
even years old, fairly took the audience by
storm with her wonderful skating. Never
has man, woman or child given a perform
ance in Wheeling that could lay claim 20
even q favorable comparison. James
Decker also received round after round Of
applause in his original act of skating on
stills, as did Charles, who is undoubtedly
he finest acrobatic skater IN the world.
There are other specislties which the Deck
er's give in their performance, that are GER
rsinly the finest ever given in this city. Dc
not fail to see them.

were at least 500 families who have been
living on charity the whole winter, nd other

GEN. CIR ANT.
The Swelling in His Throat Slowly on
the Iucrease-He Spent Very
Restless Afternoon.

NEW YORK, May 81.
Saturdays number of the Medical Record
will contain the following:
During the past week, Gen. Grant has been
in comparatively comfortable condition.
He obtains full amount of sleep, takes
nourishment without difficulty and is quite
free from pain. At the weekly consultation,
Nav II, Drs Sands, Shrady and Douglass
being present, it was found that the swelling
under the angle of the jaw on the right side,
had increased in sizes that the glands were
still indurated and deeply fixed; also that
there was a tendency toward difused infil-
tration into the adjoining tissues of the up
per and anterior portions of the neck. There
was consequently some rigidity of the jaws.
preventing wide opening of the mouth, thus
in measure, interfering with an examina-
ton of the throat.
The liberation on the right side of the base
of the tongue showed tendency to extend
backward. II was more excavated, and had
elevated and indurated the border. At the
examination Wednesday made by Drs. Doug
lass and Shrady, the local conditions were
found unchanged.
The generals drive did not improve him.
He spent very restless, painful afternoon.
His throat felt so bad that he discontinued
dictation. The general is nervous and rest
less and not as well as for the last few days.

knocked him down, and one held him by tae

RESPECTABLE WOMEN.
Gone to Prison With Babes In Their
Arms.

MADISON, Wis. May 81.
10 the municipal court, yesterday, Mrs.
Rebecca Merrat of Baraboo and Mrs. Marga-
ret McCaley of Mitchell, Oak. sisters, plead
ed guilty to the charge Of perjury. They
have now each been sentenced to two years
in the states prison. Each woman when SEN
fenced had an infant in her arms. Kneeling
at the feet of the judge they piteously plead
ed for mercy, "for the babies sakes." The
scene was a heart-rending one. The Judge
said, with tears In his eyes, the Law was mex
orable. but he could Ok the lowest penalty
prescribed. The women then prayed and
sobbed, and uttered two shrill shrieks as they
were finally removed by officers. They said
that a man named Kirby had threatened their
lives if they did not swear as they did and
that they had for years lived in mortal terror
of him.
Both are respectable women of good local
repute. Their babies accompany them to the
pepitentiary. An effort will be made to se-
cure an executive pardon in their cases.
These women are sisters Of the wife of Jas
Kirby, alias Simmons, a well-known cracks
man, who with another man named Edwards,
was. last November, sentenced to the State
prison, in Wisconsin,, for five years, for bur-
glary in Madison. At the trial of Kirby,
these women swore that they were in Bara-
boa, at Mrs Merrat's house, on the 10Th of
July last, the night of the burglary. and that
Kirby was also there. They also said that
that night Mrs. Merratt gave birth to a child.
The attempt to prove an alibi was unavsiliug,
however. and Kirby was found guilty after a
most exciting trial. The women were then
arrested for perjury. II was proven that the
child was born May 9Th and that Kirby was
not present at that time, even.
