also abolished the New York City
Aqueduct Commission, which has
been under investigation by the sem
ate, prompted by charges that Gov.
Hill had mercenary relations with the
commission and certain contractors.
The work of the creation of new
commission of seven, upon which shall
be three city officials, is delegated by
the legislature to Mayor Hewitt.

Case ContInued--Prison Absent

Case tinued--Prisoners Absent.
CHICAGO, July 21.-A peculiar state
of affairs was developed today, when
the case of conspiracy against Hoge
and Murphy of the Burlington strik e
was called in court. Neither of the
accused was present, and Frank Col
lier, attorney for the Burlington COM
pany, and representing the prosecu-
ton, surprised every body in hearing,
by the request that the case be con-
tinued. Lawyer Collier explained his
reason for this strange action, by say
ing Hoge and Murphy are now out of
the city, on an extensive tour, doing
virtually company's work. The coun-
Gil for defense made no objection to
the continuance. The court granted
postponment of one week.

Where are the Graves 2

1t is reported that in clearing the
weeds at the city cemetery the las
tute" keeper of the cemetery ordered
the weeds to be burned among the
graves. This was effectively done,
and in SO doing many of the wooden
numbers of the graves were burned
with the weeds, and now there is
considerable difficulty in finding the
precise location of certain graves.

The skipner,s PET.

A seal about two months old was seen yes
terday on the deck Of the schooner Arizona
which was moored at Commercial Wharf He
is the skipper's pet and great favorite with
the crew. The captain said: 81 have had
the little fellow about six weeks, having
caught him at Sable Island. He was asleep
when / came upon him and before he knew
1t had MIN in my arms. In three days
from the time he was taken he was as tame
as dog and will now follow me all over the
vessel. In the morning at about o'clock
the seal takes his position over the hatch
and there he will cry until some one of the
crew goes on deck and feeds him. When we
are outside throw him overheard and let
him swim until he is tired and then he is on
ly too glad to be taken ON board again" The
little fellow seemed to enjoy himself on the
vessels deck and was very fond of the ca
resses of the crew. When he saw one Of the
men approaching him he would hobble to-
ward him and tease for a mouthful of fish
that was generally forthcoming.

A WARNING.

The modes of deaths approach are various, and
statistics show concluswey that more persons die
from diseases of the Throat and Lungs than any
other. 1t is probable that everyone. without ex-
ception, receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs
into the system, and where these germs fall upon
suitable soil they start into life and develop, at
first slowly and is shown by slight tickling SEN
sation In the throat, and if allowed to continue
their rayages they extend to the lungs, producing
Consumption, and to the head, causing Catarrh.
Now all this is dangerous, and if allowed to pro-
ceed viii, in time, cause death. At the onset you
must act with promptness; allowing cold to go
without attention is dangerous, and may lose you
your life. AS soon as you feel that something's
wrong with your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, OBJ

a Narrow Escape,

The workmen engaged on the stone quar-

from death. Special Officer Pierce noticed
that the rock above the workmen jutted out
in such a way that he feared it might fall
and do damage. The workmen rather pooh
poohed at his fears but finally one of them
went up and struck his crowbar into the
ground. Immediately about two tons Of
rock was detached and came laundering
down into the very place where the men had
been at work.
