Loaded with Petitions.

There was full house at the council
chamber on Tuesday evening. Every alder
man was at his desk, the space behind the
rail was crowded to suffocation with onlooki
ers, and the doorway leading to the fireman 8
room was thronged with Tom MacKinlay and
Henry Wolfe. long canine Of doubtful
pedigree lay at the Mayors feet, but he was
not the Mayors.
The appointment Of Policemen Moloney,
DAILY and Walsh, made by the Mayor at a
previous meeting was confirmed as a sort of
preliminary matter.
Then the petitions piled in,-for block
after block Of graveling streets; block after
block of sewers; for damages from falls on
sidewalks, for the killing of horse by the
cars at the Prairie Grocery bridge; for foot
bridges; for the closing of the ravines in the
northwest part of town; for the purchase of
artesian well stock; for the privilege of
lighting the town by incandescent lights, by
the H. Valley Co.; for a sidewalk in the
south side side of main street, east of the
Fox river bridge; for new walk from that
bridge west; for a reduction of the circus
license fee; for short comings; and goodness
knows what else.
Mr. Evans, President of the Electric Street
Railway Co., petitioned that the company be
allowed to lay 7 rails on streets north Of
the Rock Island road and west of the side
cut and feeder, excepting on Main and Clay
streets. Referred to law and ordinance
committee to report at once.
The city marshals report of the past year
showed 275 fines imposed, amounting to
1881. OF the total amount but 1884 had
been turned into the city treasury, the re'
mainder having been either appealed, served
out in Jail, or suspended.
The Mayor appointed Jas. Laffsrty, Au

The La Sale county gun club Is now re-
ality instead of an unorganized crowd of en-
thusiastic hunters. 1t will now proceed
with neatnees and dispatch to chase the
willy fox from his deep recessed jungles,
instead of pulling him out of hollow log
by the tail la McDermott; for the Paris,
the Milligans, the Millikins the Shavers,
Pooler and that long line of illustrious fox
chasers, who have travelled the numberless
miles in pursuit of their favorite game, met
at the Clifton house on Saturday afternoon
and organized the La Sale county Eunt club,
devoted to the chase, the tracing of pedi-
grees of fox hounds, etc. 1t adopted con.
stitution and bylaws in language which
Tom McDermott declares will stick through
the centuries, and elected gentlemen to fill
its Offices who need no introduction to fox
hunters either in this State or Utica.
Ex-Sheriff William R. Milligan, little
too old to ride with the hounds, sits in the
presidential chair. He is the patriarch Of
the organization, and looks down with a pre-
! valent smile upon efforts of boys like Sam
Parr and Tom McDermott Vice-P President
H. X. Psrr is Par(r) excellence the parli
mentarian, and the ne plus ultra of fox
hunters. Secretary Sam Grove divides his
attention between answering pressing invi-
tations to attend fox hunts and taking care
of his fine roadster Treasurer S. Parr will
hold the lines over his trotter with one hand
and deposit the funds of the club in the
bank with the other. Sam says the club
hasn't bank of its own as yet, so he is COM
PEELED to put the cash in other hands. The
executive committee, composed Of }. l. Parr,
r. H. Pooler, Tom McDermott, S. A. Mill
kin and Frank Shaver, is marvel in hunt
talent, and can show the best of them good
front when it comes to sport. Capt. Hager
will sound the bugle, and with the assist
ance of Lieutenants Walter Blackwell, Geo.
Millikin and Geo. Parr, keep the braves of
the club in line when visitors are in town,
so that the visitors may have chance at the
brush.
Before the ink was dry on the constitution
and by laws the members of the club were
clamoring for uniform. Tom McDermott
wanted them to adopt Dolly Warden pants.
He said he had pants of this variety left
over and did not like to throw them away.
George Millikin wanted the club to adopt
red velvet coats and white buckskin knee
pants. At this Walter Blackwell arose and
said he wasn't dude, and guessed the usual
coat and pants would do, and so it stands
for the present.

member or visiter had to sleep In coat

city threw open Its doors without regard to

worked in La Sale, and knew that in that
place it would take wheel off buggy IL
one became entsngled in it.
Mr.. Armstrong was in favor of rails as
against the fiat rail- The company would be
compelled to keep up the road if T rail
was placed in, but with fiat rail under the
ordinance, it would not. He knew of towns
where the fat rail had been taken up and
the rail substituted. Mr. Evans said that
the rails he was about to place on the bust
ness streets, on the south side and on Main
and Clay streets, were costing him $1,000
more than fiat rails. The Hat rail was laid
on stringer which was laid on ties six feet
apart When the gravel settled the stringer
is often six inches above the street. He would
be compelled to keep up the rail branches
himself and the rail would only be raised an
inch from the surface of the street. At
Rock Island, Decatur, Moline, Des Moinss
and Omaha the I rail had been substituted
for the fiat rail. Mr.. Hull was in favor of
the rail- He had driven over the section
which Mr.. Evans had laid and could find no
fault with it. The motion was laid over
until Wednesday evening as it was then IL
O'Clock.
WEDNESDAY EVENING.
A full house, inside and without the rail-.
The aldermen had evidently sourtinized the
I and fiat rail matter very closely and each
one was evidently satisfied in his own mind
which was best for the city. Nevertheless
an hour was spent in debate before the
ordinance came to a vote, Mr.. Hull leading
the 7 rail party and Mr.. Taylor the fat rail
party. The vote carried the ordinance by
an overwhelming majority, Messrs. Taylor
and Dinneen only voting in the negative.
The city treasurer reported So, 427.7O in
the treasury from saloon and special Licenses
and dog tags.
The city marshal reported $40 in fines
imposed and $25 collected, also 500 in dog
taxes.
1t was then informally decided that all
bills go over until the appropriation bill
passed, as the city could only levy pol 900
according to Aid. Armstrong; and the alder
men wanted $4,000, a condition which
would necessitate a cut.
The sewage committee reported that the
proposed sewer on Clinton street from La
Fayette to to Superior, would cost $3.50.
Messrs. Duffy, Taylor and Hull, she spec,
ial committee on the Chestnut St. bridge,
reported that they had signed with Mr. Love
the contractor, in accordance with the modl-
fed plan. The contract was confirmed and
the city ordered to take charge Of the work.

the city ordinances would cost about 500.
The matter was laid over for further CON.

Current Events.

The rains of last week were the cause OF
immense damage to railway and private
properly in Pennsylvania and the Middle
Atlantic States. Aside from the overwhelm
ing disaster at Johnstown, mentioned else
where, the destruction of life and property
has been immense in all those states, New
York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, &co &c
At Williamsport, Penn, there was great loss
of life and so much suffering has been
accustomed by the flood that an appeal for
aid has been made to the world. AT Wash
ington city the low lands were all flooded ;
Pennsylvania avenue became river, and
the Potomac Flats, which the government at
enormous expense had raised above previous
flood marks, being again swamp and river
bottom. A portion of the famous Long
Bridge was also carried away.
The greatest damage to the public work,
was however, the destruction Of the Chesa'
peak and Ohio canal, l84 miles long, which
is said to be damaged in its entire length
as to be practically, if not literally obliter-
ated. Its banks are gone for miles and miles;
its locks are all destroyed and all that re-
mains of this great national work, built
during the administration of the second
Adams at a cost of $50, 100000, is an occas-
ion stretch of ditch marking the route Of what
in the early days our country was, with the
National Road, the great highway Of com
merce and travel between the east and the
west. The canal was the property Of the
State of Maryland, and will probably never
be rebuilt.

The coroner inquest on the D0uy or Ut.
Cronin has been in progress in Chicago dur
ing the week, and the testimony taken has
filled the columns Of the daily press to over
flowing. IL does not appear yet who are
the men that did the actual killing of Cronin
Clan na- Gael hardly admits of doubt.
The Clan-na' Gael in oil parts Of the ceun-
try have daily, almost hourly, repeated in
the most emphatic terms that as an order it
is guiltless of Cronn's blood, That certain
of its members are also guitless, this in
quest is rapidly disproving. There is in all
such bodies, of course, disturbing and
vicious element. The inquest is shown g
that there we're thieves also among them,
who scrupled not to rob the order Of the
funds it had raised to help the political
cause of Ireland. IL had long since become
notorious that the agents of the Clan sent to
ireland, we're to the amazement of them
selves and others, Immediately arrested the
cast into prison to be heard of no more. The
never-failing regularity of these Is, Of
course, excitsd attention. The utmost Sc
crecy, the most careful laying of plans
every device, failed for the agents inyari-
ably suffered arrest. Now, II is claimed the
thieves of the Clan had perfected deliberate,
devilish, plan to destroy these men by
giving secret information to the English
police of them aud rob the Can of the money
supposed to have been sent by them, but
which was in reality appropriated by the
thieves and was never entrusted to
the agents sent abroad 1t was well known
that DR.. Cronn had firmly set his face
against these outrages and was prepared at
the next general meeting Of the Clan, to
bring forward proofs of the rasoality com
planned of, which would disgrace many men
in the order, standing high in its circle in
the worlds opinion. For this, il would
seem, he was put out Of the way-"removed'
to save the regulations of lesser men than
he He wanted to probe to the bottom of
this thievery and bring the guilty to justice,
and he would doubtless have done it. The
better element of the Clan will, therefore,
join with the police in the effort to find
Cronin's murderers, for the honor of the
clan is at stake, the Irish societies in Chi
cago having already declared their lack of
confidence in the Clan by ordering moneys
raised to be sent direct to Parnel, instead
of through the Clan, as formerly. 1t is to be
hoped that this foul deed, which has no par.
allel since the Phoenix Park murder of six
or seven years ago, will be avenged.
