threw it aside, fracturiug its skull d
ficling in ernal injuries from which
the babs died at two o'clock III the after
noon. The track is quite raight where
the accident occurred, but the engine r
explained that it was very dusty along
the road, aud that, though he saw all
object near the track, he was under the
impression that il was dog. Coroner
L. ndiey proceeded last nighG to Comp
ton, where an inquest was held at r.

The Town Cows.

.Several parties were before the city
council Saturday night praying that
body to relieve them Of the fine and
cost in the cases where their cattle had
been "pounded," but that hard-hearted
body couldn't sec it, except in the case
of John Dendinger, in whose case it
was proven that he was not at fault.
This action of the council is right, for
what use is an ordinance if not en-
forced, and if owners are let go scot
free officers will not do their duty, and
nobody will blame them if they pass
the town COW by in their utter indif-
ference to the ordinance.

Increasing the Bonded Indebt-
edness.

The question Of whether the city
council should pass amendments to the
CITY charter to increase the bonded in
Iebtcdness, for action by the leglslat-
ure. came up again before that BODY
on Saturday night last. The PROPOSE
tion is to increase it to $75oOoo, as
heretofore stated
A member offered an amendment
10 the effect that certain city officials
be elected by the city council lnsteao
of by appointment. This action
knocked n cog out of the Wheel ana
pending action the mayor was III
structed to appoint II committee 10
nrepore such amendments to the city
charter as they shall deem best Tor the
government eff the city, to report AT
next meeting. Messrs. Bookhout'
Carter and Brown were ap-
nointed. There is good
deal of feeling in this matter Ihere
are some aldermen who are in favor OF
increasing the amount to sl,oooooo;
others opposed to any increase ana
$4,000 seems to be kind Of a com
promise. After all, the city council Is
arogating good deal of power to
itself in asking the legislature to in
crease the powers of the city charter
The people are the proper authority TO
do this, and the city council in reality
has no such power, no more than as
individuals, and if it is desirable on
the part of the people to make this in
crease, any respectable number OF
reputable citizens can ask the legisla-
ture to grant amendments to the
charter

employing the four hundred of their members
can make money at the eight-hour system the
manufacturers association can, and that the
association must yield. However. seventeen
prominent upholstering firms have issued a no.
tice that they cannot allow the men ten hours

Little Chance that He will Make Fresh
Overtures 60 the Dissidents.

LONDON, June 1.-The Standard says: ut
would, perhaps, be irrational TO assume that
Mr.. Gladstone's resources are exhausted, but
the chances are infinitesimal that he has any
fresh overtures to make or that he will subject
himself to fresh humiliation in an effort To pur-
chase semblance of harmony. 1t is creditable
that the dissidents chose the least welcome
alternative - dissolution. The conservatives
wanted a division on the home-rule bill to-
night. but the government declined TO accede
to their wishes. The government was reluc-
tant at first to give pledge for a division on
Thursday, but finally yielded.
The ministers now i'm London held a meeting
after the Chamberlain meeting, and decided Ia
call a full meeting to consider the subject of
Immediate dissolution. Twelve Hartingtonites
attended the Chamberlain meeting
Mr.. Sexton and Sir William Vernon Harcourt
follow Mr.. Chamberlain in to-nights debate.
1t is rur1ored that Mr.. Bright in his letter to
Mr.. Chamberlain expressed the hope that n
ria media might yet be found to avert a disso-
luton while the liberals are divided.
Mr.. Gladstone has publicly acknowledged the
receipt OF the resolutions adopted at the Chi
cago meeting held To express approval OF his
home rule policy. He thanks the citizens of
Chicago for their courtesy in cabling him the
resolutions, whose terms, he says, he has read
with much interest.

Northwestern Crop Prospects.
COMPLAINTS OF INJURY FROM DRY WEATHER
IN DAKOTA AND MANITOBA.

CHICAGO, June LA special dispatch from
Minneapolis, Mimi, says: Crop prospects i'm the
northwest are not quite as favorable a week
ago. With the exception of the April rains,
which came when seeding was about half COM
pleted, the weather has been quite dry, and
complaints are becoming quite numerous that
grain is suffering for want of moisture. In
Dakota no rain OF any consequence fell from
July, 1885, until April of this year, while the
snow was very light and not sufficient TO i'm
part any great moisture TO the ground. The
April rains were generally short down-pours.
With an ordinary amount of rain since then
the crop would have been all right, but the
weather during the last few weeks has been
extremely hot and dry, and the high winds
which prevail In Dakota at this season OF the
year seem to have absorbed what little moisture
there was. While no permanent or widespread
damage has been done yet the outlook Is not
near as promising ii was ten days ago.
Along the Manitoba road crops arc looking
very well, although complaints are quite
numerous that rain is needed.
