Proceedings Of the Special Meeting on
Thursday Night.

There was special meeting of the
council held on Thursday evening for
the purpose Of taking action on the
several propositions that had been sub
mitted b. number of steam fire engine
manufacturers. After reading of the
description of the La France, Silspy and
Button engines, Chief ofthe Fire Depart
ment Clark, made report of his in
vestigations of the workings of the
different engines, which was to the
effect, that the Silsby, having rotary
action, was much more satisfactory and
effective in its workings, than the Button
or La France, which have piston valves.
Prominent members of the fire depart
ment were present, and being asked to
express their views, declared they had
confidence in the judgment of their chief
and would endorse his recommendations.
The question being put, it was unani
mously voted, that fourth class Silsby
engine be purchased-at cost of four
thousand dollars, one thousand dollars to
be paid in cash on the delivery and &C.
ceptance OF the engine, and the balance
to be paid in one thousand dollar INSTALL

A western exchange says. Judge
Langford decided at Walla Walla last
Tuesday that railroad company is not
liable for damages resulting to stock be
cause the company had not fenced its
track that under common laws the
owners of cattle must keep them off the
premises of others. In short, that the
owner of real estate, even of railroad
company, is not bound to fence against
the deprepredations of cattle, in the
absence of a special statute. This is very
important ruling, and under it, if sus-
tanned, railroads need not fence their
tracks. The case ill be appealed TO the
supreme court.

Shot in the Head.

Harry M. Beldlef, Drotner OF "A uieets
violent death in Texas. Harry M
Beidler ,well-known 10 all Philadelphians
as the proprietor of the Marko Hotel on
Chestnut street, which has now been
removed to make way for more pre-
tentious buildings, was shot in the head
at Texarkana, Texas, by Ed. Speers OF
that place and died at once. The first
intimation of his brothers death was re-
ceived by X. last week, through his
niece of Illinois, who informed her uncle
that the dead mans body would be
brought to Illinois and there inferred.
Harry left wife and considerable pro-
perty in Texas and Michigan, his wife
residing at the latter place. A few years
AGO Harry went to Texas and became
mavor of the town in which he was
killed. His manner of dealing with the
worst element of the town aroused their
hatred and his life was threatened at
various times. According to report he
was visiting the city when he was killed.
Harry was an old-time, typical Phila-
delphian, and popular citizen of the
Quaker CITY. Some fifteen years ago y.
visited hi, brother and created quite a
sensation in the quite, old city, by his
unique comments on various sights that
met his eye, comments that were duly
anpreciated and recorded by Alex. Nc
Clure. an old Montana friend Of KS. who
is now proprietor of the Philadelphis
, Times. Y, has not seen his brother since
and is deeply grieved that his brother
sbould have met death in such violen
a and sudden manner.
! A paper received informs us that MIR
Beidler was shot by young boy Who's
father had had trouble with Mr.. Beidle
a few hours before. When Mr.. Beidle
6rst went to Texas. he was told that h
would be killed, accordingly he built
