Council Meeting.

A quorum of Aldermen We're present
last night for regular meeting, but under
legal advice adjourned until tonight, it
being a legal holiday.
Alderman Genovar, the committee of
one, offered the legal opinion of Rude
and Denhurst provided for by reso-
luton adopted at the last meeting to get
this with draft of an ordinance providing
for levy of taxes for the past and present
years. The opinion affirms that the new
Constitution repeats all laws in conflict
with it, including the mode of
making assessments, and provides
that cities shall make their own
assessments, but the Constitution does
not repeal the provisions of the act of
1885, providing that cities cannot levy a
tax To exceed one per cent. of the State
valuation, except for water works and
fire, tor which purpose five mills addi-
tional may be levied. This taxation
being still in force the State assessment
must be first ascertained, and the limit
of taxation fixed thereby. IL the city
assessment exceeds the State assessment
the limitation still applies, and no tax
exceeding one per cent of the State
assessment will be legal.

He groped about i'm the darkness until
he found the matches. What: change
had come over the peaceful scene i'm the
half part of a minute! The good matron
had gone, a big white sheet hung across
the bar, ON which was inscribed. "No
drinks sold to-day" and the waiter alone
was by the stove, calm and apparently
Indifferent. The policeman sollared him
and demanded AN explanation. He knew
nothing at all of the disappearance of
Daniel. Would the policeman look in
the yard and see if he was not shoveling
snow? Perhaps he had gone downstairs.
The policeman would listen to no such
arguments, and 30 he arrested the
waiter, and yesterday morning arranged
him in Jefferson Market. The Little
Judge" was on the bench bestowing his
usual large quantity of advice on un-

Bowman. All he knew about it was
that Daniel was behind his bar at q GER

in the saloon Nevertheless the Little

sued a warrant for Daniels arrest.

are no silver dollars hammered into the

DANIEL SHOT OUT OF SIGHT.

New York World.
If you should ever meet Daniel Orth,
who keeps a saloon at No. 122 Ninth
avenue, you certainly would not think
of likening him to the harlequin OF
Christmas pantomime. He does not
appear to be a frivolous man. The du-
ties of life have given his features a staid
and thoughtful expression.
Daniel stood behind his bar Christmas
night, his long white apron before him
and his arms folded. His wife, a Be
rene matron, sat in front. A waiter,
also of placid mien, was warming his
feet by the big, red-faced stove. 1t was
a peaceful scene. very different from
that in the snowy street. There the
wind was bowling and Policeman Didier
was walking along with his coat collar
up to his ears. He saw the GENIAL light
behind the lowered curtains in Daniel's
saloon. He wasn't thirsty, not at all.
He knew it was Sunday, and he knew
that Daniel should have all the lights out
on that day.
He walked by the door several times,
and, as the lights still glimmered. he de-
cided to enter. He pulled open the
DOR while the wind whistled. Family
on his ears the wind bore the words Of
the girl singing across the street: do
not forget me; Do not forget me. Think
of me STILL and here the words were
cut off, for Policeman DidIer had en-
tered Daniels saloon. The serene wife
had dozed on her chair, the waiter had
turned around so that his back might
be warmed, and Daniel was looking al
the ceiling through the bottom OF a
glass. The policeman's tread awoke the
three. He did not wear the blue uni
from which generally covers him, but
ordinary civilian clothes. He called fol
