The Derby Road Allowed To Bridge
 Certain Streets-Alderman watroun
 May Serve On the Tax Commission
 The Boulevard.
 The board of couneilmen at an adjourned meeting last evening disposed of several pa pers concerning various improvements, some of which were referred CT acted upon in con- currence with the aldermen.
 On motion of Councilman Chatfeld, who at previous meeting had voted in favor of bridging Hill, Lafayette and Liberty streets, the board reconsidered their action and con cured with the aldermen by vote of F to 4. This gives the victory to the Derby road and will give the company the privileges asked.
 The question previously raised, whether Alderman George D. Watro1s. could legally act as one of the tax commissioners. Ger poration Counsel Driscoll gave his opinisn that as the commission was not exclusively for the city, he could and he will therefore be paid his $400.
 When the question on the adoption of the report of the names of about 6fty-six persons as special eonstables was about to be put to vote Councilman Wardeu of the Eighth ward objected to the name CT Tim othy Crowley, the bathhouse keeper, who has saved many persons from drowning. The report was adopted without MT. Crowley $ l name for the present. pr. John F. Phillips l was given leave to withdraw his memorial de management of the public library Councilman Moran offered vote which was carried in effect supporting the fire and DO l lice departments in extra expenditures nee l essary on account of the great snow storm.

The basis of calculation between cause vhd chance is to be reckoned, so far as mathematics can figure out result, upon data like the following: The rules being of course, the recognized mathematical ones that the chance of the concurrence Of two independent events is the product of their separate probabilities. We know there IS more or less frequency of recur- renee than fixed average; then, for or against the probability, there '. is some cause at work The chance of one or the other of two phenomena occurring, when two cannot occur, is the sum of theIr different probabilities. For instance: In the fall of 1S8O," says MT. J. W. Ames, Fairmont, Neb, May P, 1887, my wife suffered intensely with what the doctors called sciatic rheumatism, and was help less Tried everything to no purpose. She wanted to try St. Jacobs Oil, but the doctors said mo- but got it, tried it, and it stopped the pain. She improved, and M short time she had no use for crutehes. No return of pain in seven years" MT. W. w. Hall, Adams Express O., Brook lyn, N. 1. was cufeu or sclaLlc rneuma- tisn by St. Jacobs Oil, and writes under date ot May 5, 1887: q am still of the s:,me opinion of its curative qualities for sciatie rheumatism"
 The probability of St. Jacobs Oil curing every tmc is reckoned upon known facts. Out ot the twenty million bottles sold not one in ten thousand ever fails to re- lieve all ailments for which it is a specific the chance against the probability is so slight there must be some cause, and the cause is found to be that it is not properly applied or not taken in time The chances I5e ? overwhelmingly in its favor that the i:, rttlons cures wrought by it are the of,s,t ta the few cases wherein it fails and are proofs that where properly used it will cure, and never fails.

The Chemical Company at Holyoke
 Loses s3O,OOO.
 SPRINGFIELD, March 14.-Fire broke cut in the wood pulp department of the Chemical Paper conpany's mill at Holyoke shortly after 8 o'clock last night, causing loss of about $30, 900 which is fully insured in the Mutual company. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it was we'll under way when discovered. The building where the fire originated is about three hundred feet long, but it was confined to the last one hundred feet at the south end. The building con- tained twenty thousand dollars worth of jute butts and it is thought the damage to the building will not exceed $S,000. The roof was burned off and the inside timbers are we'll eharred. Only one steamer succeeded in reaching the fire and then only after a hard struggle This is the second fire in the building within few weeks and the diff culty thu fremen had in reaching the scene made considerable excitement and anxiety.

 Professor William K. Townsend stepped out of his office yesterday afternoon and was about depositing letter in the mail box when he was accosted by two students, with whom he engaged in conversation. Officer Selleck coming along ordered the party to move on, whereupon the professor objected to so summary an order. The officer at once put him and the two students under ar- rest. The professors appearance at the po- lice station caused considerable commotion. Clerk Benton of the Court of Common Pleas, who had just come from a meeting of the police commissioners, immediately offered to give bonds for the professor to the extent of all his worldly goods, but the latter was most politely informed by the officer in charge that there was no case against him and he was disehar0ed

 NEW YORK, March 14.-The elevated trains are running with something like regu~ larity and some of the street cars are run ming, but no attempt has been made to clear the tracks in the side streets. Broadway has been opened from Madison Square to the Battery and the principal avenues will be cleared tomorrow provided no more snow comes. Brooklyn affairs are less satisfae- tory. Few streets are psssable and only one elevated road is running. The ferries make few trips, owing to the ice, but the bridge is well patronized. Private conveyances of all sorts are doing 8 rushing business. There is already milk panic in both cities. Fresh milk gave out long ago and new oon- densed milk is failing. Many households, too, are suffering from a lack of coal, especially in the case of rsstanr- ants and large buildings. There is plenty of meat and four and the retail- CTS are doing a rushing business. A few trains are running to the suburbs and one train has reached Albany, leaving New York at 3:30 p. n. and arriving at Albany at 12:50.
