ALDERMEN, STAND FIRM.
A Base Attempt TO Deprive the City
of its AbattOir.

1t is authoritatively stated that the re
belIing butchers are planning to bring
before the council at its regular meeting
next Monday night, a scheme to have the
city accept the decision of Judge Glenn
as to the abattoir injunction, and in doing
so release all claim to the abattoir. In
order to do this the rebelling butchers
propose 10 attempt to prevent Alderman
Collins from taking his seat in the council
on the ground that he has removed his
family from the state. While Alderman
Collins has taken his family to Kansas
for the winter, he has not as yet changed
his residence nor does he intend doing so
until spring, if at all His home is still
in Rock Island; he has not disposed of
his property here, and it Is question for
he himself to decide whether his home is
in Rock Isla nd or elsewhere. As we'll
deprive an alderman of the rights the
people by popular vote have conferred
upon him because he goes out of the city
temporarily on visit-it makes no differ
ence for what length of time-as to qu,s-
ton Alderman Collins right to his seat
in the council chamber unless he is willing
to surrender it before his term expires.
He still attends to the duties of committee
work and is as watchful of the city's in
terests as ever SO the butchers must
fail in this plot to accomplish their pur-
pose of defeating the sanitary measures
of the city.
II is to be sincerely trusted that none of
the aldermen who thus far defended the
interests of the city against organized re
bellion against the interests of the people,
will remain firm 10 their position and not
be come discouraged because they have
met with reverse at the outset. Judge
Glenu's decision is simply the preliminary
to the weighing of the case before the
high tribunal OF the state. and the case
should have the benefit of the best author
ity before it is allowed to rest. II will
cost comparatively little to take the case
to the supreme court and this the city
should certainly do. Further than this,
there is possibility of Judge Genn's
reversing his decision on the final hearing
which is to come up in January. The
council will surely not yield after carry
ing the matter to its present stage

The celebrated physician, Dr. Gum. of
Chicago. visited J. L, Dryden, the Mon
mouth attorney, Thursday night, and
yesterday morning he said to a Monmouth
Gazette reporter:
1t is case of profound conclusion.
No operation is necessary. | wouldn't

ger of doing too much than too little. He
must be well nourished and stimulated
kept perfectly quiet, in short, cared for
in all respects as is implied by good nurs-
ing, aud nature will 90 the rest.
The Gazette says Dr. Gum made a
thorough examination of the case, as
would be expected, before delivering an
opinion to which so much weight was to
be given. He ascertained what had been
the patients condition and treatment and
made a careful examination of his present
situation and symptoms The endorse
ment OF She course that has been pursued
Is source of qualification. for thereby,
the best of authority approves of what
has been done and sustains the result of
the consultation that was reported several
days siuce. The attendant physicians,
moreover, feel sustained and encouraged
They were anxious to have DR. Gum
examine Mr.. Dryden. whether or not he
agreed with them and now that the ex-
perience of the celebrated surgeon has
been proGted by there is naturally sat-

Characteristic Generosity.

L. D. Annis, whose left leg was am
putated about year ago on account
of difficulties resulting from a long
sickness, ordered an imitation leg the
other day. When the employees in the
scale works learned what he had done
they passed round the hat and $50
was raised in short time and handed
to Mr.. Annis to help pay for his new
leg. This was bit of characteristic
generosity on their part and was
thoroughly appreciated by the recip-
lent. With the aid of a cane he walks
without difficulty, the new member
being supplied with joints, ETC., that
admit of pretty much all the ordinary
movements of the leg, not excepting
that of kicking.

A True Fish Story.

A True Fish story.
The scribe went a-fishing last week.
He took railroad trip of 25 miles into
the country, coach ride of four or
five miles still father into the interior,
and after short nights rest got up at
A o'clock in the morning and rowed a
fiat-bottomed scOw mile or two still
farther away, fished for awhile on a
rough pond and in drilling rain and
got not fish-not even a bite. The
net result of the trip was delightful
ride on the Lake road, made specially
so by courtesies extended by Conduc-
tor Parkhurst and Engineer Miner, and
the discovery on the fishing ground of
the man who has been selling the St.
Johnsbury fishermen their remarkable
catches of trout this season. This is
probably the only reliable fish story
that has been told since the month
came in. Truth still lives and can be
found at this Office during the business
hours of the day.

The managers of the st. Johnsbury

a deficiency of 800 in the cash ac

shareholders received the following
pathetic appeal Saturday to which
they cheerfully responded "Somehow
or other we don't make piracy pay. l
don't know why, but we didn't, and in
order to meet our deficiencies it be-
comes our unpleasant duty to assess
the stockholders of this company 81
per share. We hate to do it, but we
are the slaves of duty and must fol-
low the lead and 'chance the conse-
auences.' In order to fulfill our linden
lures you are requested to remit as
soon as possible to A. B. Noyes, treas
urer of the st. Johnsbury Home Opera
company, 81 each for the shares sub
scribed for by you. We are yours or.

AS the children were running across

ing the yesterday forenoon recess, a
team driving rapidly by knocked down
and ran over two children. One was
not much hurt, but the other, Oracle
Balch, aged 10, was insensible when
taken up. She soon revived, however,
when it was found that she was quite
severely though not seriously injured.
The team was driven by a lady who
did everything in her power to avoid
the accident but the horse was uncon-
trOllable.

gist, for SANDER. The damages are
put at $4,000. This case will be enter

1t grows out of charges that are said

during the past few years that DR.. Bull
lard has stolen from his store certain
articles, mostly expensive medicines.
DR.. Billiard unqualifiedly denies the
charges and brings the suit to recover
damages. Various rumOrs of this char
acter have been floating about for
some time and the Dr.'s purpose is to
clear them up. On the other hand
Mr.. Randall says he is prepared to
meet the charges.

Concert by the Blind.


One of the best concerts of the sea-
son was given at Music hall last Fri
day evening by pupils from the Per-
kins institute for the blind at South
Boston. This was given for the bene-
fit of the kindergarten fund, that chill
dren under ten years, debarred from
all public institutions for the blind by
reason of age-or want of age-may be
instructed and cared for. 1t is graft
flying to know that goodly sum was
realized for this very worthy object.
The concert was one of considerable
variety, including quartet of brass
horns, very finely played duet for
clarinet and cornet, a perfect gem ;
duet for comets, solos for cornet and
clarinet, songs for tenor and bass, and
college songs, in which eight or nine
young men Joined, with piano accom-
panimsnt. These latter were side
splitting, as usual. Every thing about
the concert was choice and we'll done.
L. w. Titus has tenor voice of fine
quality and strength, and his song
''Let Me Dream Again." was sung in
good taste and with pathos. VIM. B.
Hammond's bass solos were all good
and the piano playing and alto horn
solo by c. A. w. Rowland, were fine
~ performed. The party was il
charge of j. Munsill Hubert, one o
the teachers at the Perkins institute

That two headed calf at Graham s

iron rod for spinal column and four
glass eyes, striking instance of the
untruthfulness of the old saw that two
heads are better than one. A Provi
dence taxidermist writes Mr.. Graham
that he has just received calf with
one head and two bodies which he is
mounting. This seems to be an odd
year in calf raising as we'll as in poll
