CITY GOVERNMENT.
Special Meeting of the Beard of Mayor
and Aldermen,


special meeting Of the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen was held at 5 p. m. yesterday.
AL present
The Mayor stated that he had called the
board to order on account of the peremptory
order passed by the board, the evening previ-
ous, In reference to closing the skating Kinks
at 10 p. M, and ordering those closed that
were not licensed. The statute requires that
all Kinks must be closed from 10 p. M, to sun
rise, unless the municipal authorities in the
places where the Kinks are located, give espe-
cial permission to the managers, in writing, to
remain open later.
MIR. Howard Knowlton petitioned for liz
cense for rink in Storer block, on Middle
street, and one at Greenwood Garden, Peaks
Island. Mr.. Jacob FL. Groves, the owner OF
the rink on Munjoy Hill, also petitioned for a
license. The petitions were granted.
1t was ordered that the City Marshal be au-
thorized, on extraordinary occasions, to grant
permission in writing, to skating rink owners,
to keep their Kinks open after ten o'clock p. m.
By the passage of this order, while it is the
intention to have the Kinks ordinarily close at
10 o'clock, yet, when some special occasion
like great polo contest, or exhibition, is CIV
en- at the rink, and that hour arrives and the
game or exhibition, is net concluded, the mar
shal will have the authority to let the game
end before closing the rink.
The Marshal asked If the 10 o'clock rule
would apply to the Kinks at the islands?
Messrs. Curtis, Willard and Cooling offered
a petition for permission to keep their rink at
Peaks Island open until u o'clock midnight.
and Mr.. Knowlton put in like request for
the one at Greenwood Garden.
Alderman Gallagher thought that as these
Kinks were at the islands and would not dis
turb people, they ought to receive permission
to keep open.
The petitions of Messrs. Curtis, Willard and
Cooling, and of Mr.. Knowlton, were conse-
quently granted.
j. B. Mcdonald, 10 Munjoy street., petition
ed for authority to erect two-storied wooden
building on Munjoy street. Referred with
power.

FATAL ACCIDENT.


About $50 p. m. yesterday, as car No. 80, of
the Portland Railroad Company, Spring street
line, had reached a point about opposite Saw
yer & Dyer's grocery store on Congress street,
on Its uptown trip, little boy, aged nine
years, named Nathan Clifford Redlon, son of
Mr. Luther Redlon, the we'll known brush
maker, came out from Moulton's shoe store
with large white box in his arms, and at
tempted to get on the front of the car. He
failed to attain the step, and fell, and both
wheels on that side of the Car passed over his
right thigh, mangling it fearfully from knee to
hip.
Messra. A. j. Pickett. the driver of Hose No.
!, and Mr.. Charles B. Nash, saw the accident,
and bore the injured lad into Stones apothe-
cary store on the corner Of Green street. He
bled terribly, covering the floor with the
precious fluid, having evidently injured an ar
terry. Surgeons were at once sent for. DIR.
Spalding arrived almost Immediately and APP
piled compress to the wounded limb. The
boy bore his injuries bravely, told who he was
and where he lived, and declared he should be
all right in the morning. DR.. Weeks was soon
on hand, and the lad was taken to the Maine
SfcHoEal A1uhpltdk
At the hospital an operation was performed
by Drs. Weeks and Gerrish, assisted by the hos
pital staff, to remove the crushed leg at the
hip. When brandy was offered young Redlon
he sternly refused the stimulant until the doc
tors insisted, and his father was present. After
he was etherized the operation was performed,
but he never. recovered consciousness, sinking
under the shock, and dying at Z o'clock.
The driver Of the car, Frank Cooper, is a
spare hand. he says he was looking the other
way at the time Of the accident and didn't see
Redlon. He heard something strike the fender
OF the car, and then cry. He set the brake,
but the brake didn't hold until the wheels had
passed over Redlon's leg.
Young Rsdlon was an only son, boy, so it is
said, Of amiable disposition and thoroughly re.
liable. His sad death is terrible blow to his
parents. His remains were taken to his
home, No. 651 Congress street.
Coroner Gould was notified of the death of
the injured boy last evening. and will empanel
jury and hold an inquest this morning.

the First Regiment, and Col. Mitchell of the
Second Regiment, will hold meeting to-
nesday, to decide on the matter of ordering
the two regiments here to parade during the
encampment.
1t is as yet undecided whether to hold the
encampment on the Eastern Promenade or in
Deering Park. Both places present great ad-
vantages, and would afford beautiful situa-
lions for the camp. 1t has been suggested
that the broad field on the Deeripg land, Just
across the old mill pond, be used for the tent
grounds, and that the camp fires and meetings
be held in the park. The low land between
the two places could be bridged. The matter
will probably be settled at the meeting of the
executive committee, Thursday afternoon.
