The friends of prison reform just now
cannot render a more efficient service TO the

of Congress their desire for the legislation
indicated. Do this, and the United State:

globe which convicts its citizens of violation
of its laws. and then eonsigns them to the
tender mercies of hirelings and strangers
over whom it has no control.

an incident which happened in that region
some wears ago. After describing the boy
who were wont to court all night in the goot
old days, the poet concludes
I've heard of one who fell asleep
His girl his arms EMBEDDING,
He'd worked SO hard the whole long week.
But she his plight beholding,
Stole quietly away and said,
I'm play joke on Freddie.
And slip up stairs and go to bed
When am good and ready"
But good and ready" seemed to be
To place where she'd been sitting

He found him both arms round the Churu.
And very soundly sleeping.

The war of the tlevelandites in Penn
-ylvania on Randall. has resulted in the
defeat of the latter. The question at issue
was the election of Chairman of the Dem
ocratic State Central Committee. The
candidate supported by the friends of
Randall was beaten by vote of ~ to 81.
The man put forward by Congressman
Scott. Clevelaud'S selection of the member
Of the Ways ard Means Commit ee, was
thus successful by seven majority. This
makes it obvious that Randall is to he
crowded to the wall if possible. The sig
niticance of this struggle cannot well be
misunderstood. The dominant influence
of the Democratic party means to enforce
uniformity of opinion in its ranks on the
lines marked out by the Presidents Free
Trade message. 1t remains to be seen if
Randall will surrender or be driven out.

Overhowed His Premises-Floods at
 Neck Bridge.

OWeRn0We0 k410 Efem1g9g-EAGO08 4g Neck Bridge.
 Daniel Healy, who owns property immedi- ately adjoining Neck bridge on the east side, proposes to sue the city for $3, 900 damages
 to that property. A new iron bridge is being
 built over Mill river in place of the old wooden Neck bridge. MT. Healy's home is very near that bridge and several feet below
 it. When the building of the bridge was be-
 gun the gutter for some distance on the north
 side was blocked with the stone and other
 material necessary in the foundation work.
 Then came g rain storm of large dimensions.
 The path for the freshst to reach Mill river
 was pretty sffeotually blocked right in front of MT. Healy's house by the huge pile of stone, piled up twelve or fourteen feet high, which was to be used for laying the east abutment. So the water being obstructed overhowed into the yard and house of the Healy property.
 MT. Healy has had Alderman Kent of the Twelfth ward over to inspect his premises and to show him just the extent of the dam age done by the obstructed gutter. The cons tractors for the stone work have also been greatly incommoded on three several occa- sions by the overflow on the opposite side of the street from MT. Healy's house. Three times heavy rains have washed a hun dred or two loads of dirt from the street down on to the new temporary roadway and foot bridge by which people get from one side of the bridge to the other. Most of this had to be carted back to the road again.
