A BAD RUNAWAY.

A party of coasters on one of the
streets leading down from Prospect
Heights caused runaway Saturday af-
ternoon that ended with disastrous re-
suits. A bobsled full of boys, coming
down the street at full speed, ran INTO a
carriage at the intersection with Byron
street, near the street car track, and
caused the horses attached to the car
rage to run away. Ole Lundberg was
driving the team and was accompanied
by his wife and Mrs. S. G. Soule. These
three persons either jumped or were
thrown out and all received more or less
severe injuries. Each of the ladies was
badly cut and bruised. They were re-
moved to the residence of Mrs. Lund-
berg's father, Mr.. J. R. Tnkcom, and
there received such attention as was re-
quired. Luckily no one on the bobsled
were hurt. The sled broke one of the
hind wheels of the carriage. The horses
turned down toward Front street and
dashed down that street as far as Liber-
ty, when they were secured. In turn
ing a corner the wagon was hurled
against curbstone, tipped upside down
and was dragged in that position for
quite distance. Had the occupants re-
manned in the wagon they would have
been much more seriously hurt.
This is accident number one which is
to be laid to coasting across much travel
&c streets. The boys should select some
more suitable place to indulge in their
sport, where life and limb will not he

CHARTER REVISION
What the Joint Committee Propos-
eS to DO.

The joint charter revision committee
held a meeting last night and nearly
completed its work, of which the follow
ing is synopsis, as far as the work has
gone.
The city boundaries are to be the
same as in 1886, or prior to the last Char
ter revision.
The municipal elections are to be BIZ
ennial. The terms of the Mayor, Re-
corder and Treasurer are to be two years,
and of the aldermen four years. At
present the elections are annual and the
term of the mayor is one year and of
the aldermen three years.
The wards are TO remain as at present,
but the number of aldermen from each
ward is reduced to two. There will be
no election of aldermen in April. The al
dermen still having one year to serve
will go out in April, 1891, and the alder
men having two years to serve will go
out in 1893.
There will be Board of Public
Works, to be appointed by the mayor,
and to hold Office for three years. II is
provided that the mayor shall in March,
1887, appoint the three members of the
Board, and shall designate one of the
members to serve three years, one for
two years, and one for one year, and
shall each March thereafter appoint one
member who shall serve for three years.
The Board is to have general supervis-
ion of all public works, and shall per-
form the fire wardens' duties. The
board will also appoint the city engineer,
who shall be responsible for the inn
proyements needed. The board, with
the consent of the council, may have
any work done by day labor, instead of
by contract, when it deems 1t advisable.
The Board will also levy all assessments
and the district court is to confirm the
assessments of benefits and damages.
No new work shall be undertaken, ex-
cept upon the direction of the council.
Each member of the board Is to receive
a salary of $500 annually. The duties of
the board are many and onerous and its
entire time will be taken up. The water
mains are to be laid at the expense Of
the city, as at present, but an annual as
sessment of five cents front foot will
be made upon the property adioin-
ingsall the mains. AS the mains, cost
dollar foot this tax will pay the
interest and still leave large balance
1.-THE assessment being five cents on each
side of the street.) The assessment in
st. Paul is ten cents front foot.
Other unimportant changes are made.

effort could be made to induce the Oma-
ba railway company to make closer con-
nectiops at Lake Crystal. The meeting
was not largely attended, but the gener'
al expression of opinion seems to be In
favor of better connections if they car
he secured. On looking the matter w
Il ia doubtful if Main line trains car
make any better connections with trains
on the Branch than at present. The on
Iy remedy that suggests itself would be
an additional train on the Branch. On

MT. Spencer would like to hear the
opinion of the people along the Branch
and stands ready to meet them half way
in granting any reasonable request they
may make.

THE NEW PUMP.

The main points of the new pump
which the city has just purchased of the
Holly company are contained in the
proposition of the company, which is
practically as follows: We will furnish
and deliver in your city, also furnish
the man to superintend the work of
the erection, one of Gaskills compound
condensing crank and fly wheel pump
ing engines. This engine will have two
high pressure steam cylinders "a inches
in diameter; two inside packed plunger
pumps each Is inches in diameter; all
having stroke of % inches. This en-
CINE will pump 1900, 600 gallons of water
in "a hours against head of $50 feet
with a consumption of 8, 200 lbs. of Iowa
coal. For this engine complete set up
on foundation with all steam and
water connections inside the building,
we will ask the sum of $3.50. The en-
CINE, to pump 1900, 600 gallons of water,
will run at piston speed of 100 revolu-
tons per minute for the high pressure
piston and so revolutions per minute for
the low pressure piston. The engine is
IA feet long and II feet high.
The cost of running this pump will be
very light. City engineer Lilly estimates
the cost at about 1900 or 1900. AS
the mill company receives s., 500 annual
ly for this work, it will be seen that the
city will save 81 900 year. An engineer
can be secured for 5000 year and the
fuel will amount to but $500 year. In
cidential expenses will hardly exceed
$500. Mr.. Lilly believes that il will on
ly be necessary to run the pump about
six hours every other day. This would
require about q ton of coal each time the
engine started, which can be had at 81 a
ton.
The water rents at present amount to
about $500 year and with the extended
mains the total rent is expected to be at
least 81 500. This will pay all expenses
of running the pump. The new water
meters are already largely increasing the
revenue. 1t is hoped to be able to ex-
tend the mains down Front and State
streets and perhaps up Center street
next year, when the water rent will
largely exceed all expenses. The pump
at Faribault costs s., 600 year to run.
The pump will be placed about eight
feet below the surface of the ground, if
the station is located near the river; If
not, it will be placed on the surface.
Both plungers will be used ordinarily,
but in case one becomes disabled, the
other will supply all the water needed.

District court adjourned last evening
without date. The jury in the Little as
sault case was out an hour and a halfand
at $50 p. IN. brought in a verdict of not
guilty. Lafev and Childs were then dis
charged. 1t is understood that one or
two members OF the jury at first wanted
to convict Lately, who seemed TO be the
leader of the boys. Those who heard the
evidence through were convinced that
the whole case was the outcome of some
family quarrels of long standing. One of
the neighbors attempted TO have the tri-

avoid as much hard feeling in the town
as possible.
The New York Graphic says the
shape and placing of the teeth are not
without significance in the character Civ
en- by the mouth. When the upper gum
shows above the teeth directly the line
lips are opened, it is a sign of cold
phlegmatic nature. Short, small teeth
are held by the physiOgOnomist to de-
note weakness and short life, while rath-
er long teeth, il evenly set in the head,
denote long life. The more the teeth,
in point, size, shape and arrangementap-
proach to those of carnivorous animals,
the more violent are the animal instincts
in a person; while the more human teeth
in shape and position approach to those
oftle graminivorous animals, the more
placid is the character. White, medi-
um sized and evenly setteeth, which are
seen as soon as the mouth is open, but
which are entirely exposed-that is
which do not at any time show the gums
are sign of good and honest natures.
Projecting teeth, which are rarely seen
except in laughing, show weakness and
want of physical and moral courage. The
lower teeth projecting and closing over
the upper range are indicative of a
harsh nature.

The meeting of the school board last

, The meeting of the school board las
night did not develop anything import
ant. The committee appointed to Sc,
what changes are necessary in the schoo
laws of the district was not ready to re
port. The meeting was called to take
action toward raising funds to carry OF
the school work until the apportionment
is made.
Miss Elizabeth Beaver, aged forty.
six. was adjudged insane yesterday af.
ternoon by Judge Mead and was taken
to st. Peter this forenoon by officer Ro-
bel. Her residence is near the Catholic
cemetery. She has shown signs of in
sanity for the past ten weeks, but has
seldom been violent. Hen rawlings have
been confined to breaking furniture, etc.
She has also bothered the Sisters of No
tire Dame. She is not insane on any
particular subject.
Mr.. John Shaw, of Kansas City, who
was awarded the sewer contract, is in
the city and will begin work on the
Washington street brick sewer within
two weeks. The specifications cali for
the complete sewer by Dec. LIST. Sever
al of the aldermen last night wanted the
sewer constructed as far north as the
specifications call for, including the
three blocks below Spring street that
were exempted at the last meeting.
During the discussion it developed that
the aldermen from that ward had origi-
mated the petition for the exemption of
those three blocks. This sewer can
never be built there any cheaper and
the property owners who protested will
see their mistake before long.
AT the close of the council meeting
last night Mr.. Faley, of New York, who
represents the successful bidders on the
city pump and engine, took the council,
city officers and reporters to HeinZe's
restaurant, where sumptuous oyster
supper and other refreshments were
served in Heinze's best style. The az
fair was very pleasant one and from
the way the refreshments disappeared
it is evident that the participants highly
enjoyed themselves. Aid. Himmelman
then invited the entire party to attend |
the masquerade at Union Hall, and |
many tarried there for awhile to watch |
the dancers. Mr.. Faley left this noon. |
During his weeks stay in the city he |
has ACQUIRED many friends.

Of lighting was fair one. Dark nights
are coming Oh again, and the night
watchmen have long desired that the
lights burn all night to aid them in their
duties. Many of the aldermen now pro-
pose to have the city secure an electric
light plant and do Its own lighting,
economy. 1t is stated that this
plant can be run at little cost, in con-
nection with the city pumping works.
