Unlucky Mules.

A team of mules on the Los Angeles
Gable Railway, yesterday fell into a
sewer excavation on Fort street, between
Second and Third. A hole ten feet deep
had been excavated on either side of the
track, and workmen we're engaged in
tunneling under the track when the &C.
cideut happened. The off mule swerved
to one side rs he approached the excava-
ton, showing his mate into the hole on
the other side, and was in turn dragged
into it. A man was working in the pit
when the mule fell in. but strange to say
escaped injury. 1t was thought at
first that the mules were Killed
or so badly crippled that they would
have to be dispatched, but after being
drawn out with ropes with much diff
Guilty, it was discovered that the extent
of their wounds was few bruises and
contusions. They limped a little as
they logged off toward the stable with
the car, but a few days rest will make
them all right again. A similar accident
happened last week on the same line,
but only one mule fell into the pit at that
time. The drivers on the line are kept
on the alert since sewer construction is
going on, and they say they will breathe
easier when the holes are all filed again.

PARIS, December 20.-There was an
exciting scene in the Senate this after.
noon. Leon Say Withdrew his motion
providing for the printing of Lacour's
speech, etc. After he made this an.
nouncement Naquet ascended the
tribune and renewed Says motion.
There was Immediately q great uproar
and the members were shouting
"Enoughl Enough" demanding the
member to take his seat. The President
stated that Naquet had taken up Says
motion on his own account. This re-
newed the disorder, which was increased
when Naquet left the tribune and at
tempted to make q speech from the
floor, the turmoil being so great as to
completely drown his voice. Sew
eral members shouted "expel him I"
The President, as soon as he could make
himself heard, called Naquet to order.
The latter left the chamber and the
Senate resumed the debate ON the

aLIttle Puck, In a Hurry.

Frank Daniels, who will be better re.
membered by theater-goers as Little Puck,
missed the Oakland ferry on which were
all his company bound for Salt Lake
City. There was no regular way Of catch
ing the train, and Frank was booked for
the Mormon City in such manner that
he would be twenty-four hours late in
opening if he had to wait for the next
train, so he determined to get across by
hook or by crook. He chartered tug
boat, and promised its master 500 if he
got him across the bay in time, and the
craft pulled out eight minutes behind the
ferry amidst the cheers of an interested
assemblage on the water front. The tug
boat man sent his boat for all she was
worth and landed Frank just in time to
jump on board the overland train as she
was pulling out. The master got his
500, for probably the best eight minutes
work he ever did in his life,

1t has been suggested by an expert who
has no interest in the matter save as TAI
payer, that it would be a great mistake to
use Joliet stone for the curbing around the
Court House grounds, as contemplated by
the committee. The charge against Joliet
stone is that il is not 80 durable as the Be
rea stone, which would cost but a trfe
more, comparatively, and is stone en-
dorsed by the best engineers in charge OF
city work. The charge seems well founded
if the old curbing around the Court House
is examined, as well as other similar curb
ings in different parts of the city. The sub.
ject is worth considering, and sihce the
work is to be undertaken, it is just as well to
execute it in the best way.

Democratic Club.

Pursuant 20 the published call of the
Town Committee, about fifty democrats
found their way into the supervisors room
in the court house, on Wednesday evening
to take the preliminary steps in the organi-
cation of a democratic club and, if found
polite, the call for convention to nominate
candidates for town and city offices.
With his usual suavity and grace, Judge
Weeks assumed the duties of the chair and,
with j. G. Armstrong behind the clerk s
desk, opened the meeting to the considera-
ton of the opinions of all who desired to be
heard.
From the outset, it was seen that to
attempt an organization, with but the pres
ence of one.twentieth Of the town democracy
would be presumptious in the extreme, and
thus the meeting very early assumed
monitorial aspect. The necessity of organi-
cation, in view of the fact that the republi.
can clubs had already organized and held
their state convention at Springfield, was
presented very forcibly and with good effect
The evident desire to aid in the bringing
about successful issue to the campaign in
county, state and national affairs was very
marked and not for one moment did interest
apr ear to lag but instead it seemed to be
more intense at the close than at the opening
of the meeting
Speeches upon club organization and the
necessity of close and careful canvass
were made by Messrs. Armstrong, Carey
Madden, Conway, Kelly and others, and
upon motion of Kelly a committee was ap
pointed by the chair, composed Of Messrs
NJ. N. Armstrong, J. f. Madden, John Arm
strong, AL. Schaefer and Maj. T. c. Gibson
to formulate plan for the formation of {
club, and to call a meeting of democrats fol
some future date jSee call in another col
ume
The urgent necessity of such an organiza
ton thus early in the campaign cannot b'
too strongly borne in mind and no better
opportunity for teaching democratic princi
Piles can be desired than is afforded a
weekly or bi-weekly meetings of a wei
organized club. A long and strong pull
must win in La Sale equity, and now is The
time 10 unlimber the guns.
Every democrat in the township, ant
all others who can get here, should make il
his personal duty to attend the coming
meeting.
