FIRST BRANCH.


In the First Branch the ordinance estab.
fishing the police department in the con.
troll Of the Committee on Police, came up,
and was the subject of an extremely lively
debate, on motion by Mr. Tracy to rike
out Sec II, forbidding officers on duty or
wearing any portion of their uniforms,
going in any saloon, house OF Ill fame or
suspicious houses, except in the immediate
discharge of their duty, or under order OF
the Chief of Police. The amendment was
lost, ayes 5, noes 6. The ordinance was
then passed by two-third vote.
About this time Mr.. Thompson came
into the Chamber, presumably with the
news that Mr.. Fee had been named as the
Clerk of the Police Court. By a curious
coincidence the Republican members want
ct to leave as soon as they heard of this
situation and leave they did, leaving the
Branch with but six members less than
a quorum.
Rather than order call of the house,
and order the arrest of the absentees, the
Branch adjourned.

"reminiscences, said an old merchant
10 a Utica Observer man. II must
tell you OF one occurrence that took
place In neighboring country store.
The proprietor was noted for being
particularly aifable and obliging to his
customers, and he had u clear-headed
md smart young man for clerk. Ono
day one Of the best customers OF the
concern called TO buy dress pattern,
The price was seventy-fve cents, and
after long talk the clerk closed the
bargain Mt seventy cents. While the
clerk was selecting trimmings, etc, In
another part Of the store, the genial
proprietor came along rubbing Ills
bands, inquired after the family OF the
customer, praised her taste in select
ing that particular piece OF goods, and
ms n special favor TO "a good customer
let her have IL for sixty-eight cents per
yard. The clerk returned aud the lady
told Of the reduction the proprietor
had made. The clerk was furious, but
not IN the least disconnected. He saw
that II the customers thought that he
was selling higher than others in the
store they would avoid him and his
discharge would follow. So he says:
"'I just looked ut the bill and can
sell you that piece at sixty-fve cents
yard.
when the deal was completed the
proprietor was as angry as the clerk.
" DO you know that I made the
price sixty-eight ceutsP' said the pro-
prietor.
Eyes, said the clerk, but want
you to understand that no man can
undersell me In this store

Director Archy Graham. CIR ham took

to st. Louis and met the Baron family.
He made love to Miss Baron, and was
about to marry her, when her father
began to look into Young's career. He
soon heard enough to satisfy him that

In and waited until no was at work.
Then calling his associates In the store

A SERIOUS COLLISION.
Two Sections OF the st. Louis Ex-
press Collide.

II is reported that the second section
OF the st. Louis express ran into the
first section on the New York Central
near Palatine bridge, N. Y, on the
night OF the 9th, and number were
injured.
LATER: The accident occurred two
miles east OF Palatine bridge. The
first section of the train broke down,
and before the second section could be
tagged, the collision occurred. The
wreck is bad one. There were five
cars in each section. Relief trains
have gone to the scene with surgeons.
No Trustworthy details hive yet been
received.
In the wreck IL is reported that
three sleeping cars are telescoped.
One man is known to have been killed
The four tracks are blocked. East
bound trains are stopped at Palatine.
The first section left Fonda ut ll:21,
ten minutes late. They usually run
ten minutes apart.
Another dispatch says: The st.
Louis express No. 8, which left Albany
ut 10 o'clock last night, met with q
bad accident two miles east OF Palatine
bridge about midnight. The first Sec
ton broke down and stopped for re-
pairs. The rear brakeman was sent
back to signal the second section, but
for some unknown reason failed to
perform his duty. The engineer OF
the second section says he did
not to see him and the first thing he
saw was the lights OF the first section
directly In his front. The first section
was made up Of baggage, mail, express
and three passenger cars, packed with
people and Wagner sleeper on the
end. The crash was terrific. The
second section telescoped into the first
section, knocking out the lights and
plunging everything into darkess. Up
to this hour, e u. n.y. four bodies
have been taken. out OF the sleeper and
1t is feared the total number OF deaths
will run up to twenty-five and possibly
more, as the car was full. IL is difficult
TO get at particulars at this hour.
Engineer Worth, ofthe second section
was SO badly injured that he is not
expected to survive the night. He
resides in Albany.
