Councilman Beers to Take the Pic lures of the Board of COuncilmen Free of Cost.
 Just before the adjournment of the Board of Councilmen last evening President Kleiner requested the members to keep their seats for few moments after adjournment, as he desired to bring matter before them in which they were all interested. When the
 proper time arrived the president announced that Councilman Beers mad offered to take the photographs of all the members of the Board free of cost, provided the members would purchase suitable frame to enclose | the group, the same when completed to be suspended on the walls of the Council cham
 Der. Several Councilmen expressed their qualification for the generous offer of Coun- cilman Beers and on motion of Councilman Asher committee of three was appointed to procure 8 frame for the picture, the members
 to be taxed pro rata to pay for the same. The chair appointed Councilmen Beers, Asher and Freeman as this committee.
 | It is understood that the pictures will be 1 cabinet size, the center one, that of President
 Kleiner, being somewhat larger than the | others. The assistant city clerk, sheriff and page will be included in the group. It is expected that Councilman Beers will make a similar offer to the Board of Alder men at their next meeting.

How superintendent Shepard Slept
 With One Ear Always open.
 General Superintendent Shepard Gust pro- noted to MT. Reeds position on the Consoli- dated road) when general manager of the New England road under Superintendent Felton was one of the most alert officials on the road. He is an expert telegrapher and had an instrument placed in his room. All the dispatches concerning the running of the trains went through it. If when listening at night he caught instructions that were wrong he would get up, stop the message, telegraph the sender 8 sharp reprimand and correct the mistake. In this way he prevented many collisions. It is rarely that history shows so conscientious railroad manager; whose hours are all hours, days and nights alike, and whose sleep is ln the same sense set apart to the service of the locomotive and the public.
