no one can tell whether the fremen must
start out north, south, east, or west.
The chances are that they will go exactly
in the wrong direction and thus most
valuable time be wasted.
lfthe proposed system will fulfill its
professions, all confusion will cease. I'm
mcdiateIy at every point in town, every
one will know the exact locality OF the
alarm. We say then by all means let
this system be thoroughly tested. and il
approved, let it be put into use forth
with. To hesitate on account of cost
is false economy, but of course we should
curtall expense bycycry legitimate means.
One OF these has been suggested which
we heartily approve. 1t is that thcpolcs
now erected be utilized without cost to
the city. No doubt the street railway
and electric light companies will set tie
example i'll making tender OF thcirpoes.
which the telegraph and telephone com.
panies will be ready to follow.
An error crept into our report of yes
terday. When speaking OF the manner
OF giving an alarm we said that in case
an alarm was to be given from box No.
II, "a person would unlock the door,
take hold of a projecting hook and pull
1t two successive times then pause for
five seconds and then give one pull. This
is repeated four times" Now it readily
occurs to many persons that this nlancu-
vering is too complicated to be managed
successfully in the excitement that ALWAYS
accompanies IN alarm Of fire. But Mr.
Clark assures us it is all our mistake,
that each box works automaticullv. The
operator has only to open the door and
press down projecting rod, and immc-
dlntely the number of this box is sounded
on bell at each of the other stations
and also at the central point of the city.
This is most important point ard We
gladly correct our statement

MAYOR BL.ANTON's COURT.

to do 1t.

They were both there, the carver and
the carved, and they were almost the
only ones there, as this was a day OF
rest at the Mayors Court. Both were
big, black burly darkeys and they had
gotten into fracas on their ownprivatc
account. John Darlington was the one
and Burt Collins the other. John thought
he would take a slice out of Burt S shoul-
der. He did it accidentally, so he said
And certainly there was a depth to his
affection for Burt, if the reportorial eye
was not deceived as to the depth of the
wound. 1t seems that Johnnie protested
against any cutting up and friendly wrest-
ling matches in the RESTAURANT of which
he was the custodian. Johnnie said his
arm slipped in his excitement, and as he
held the knife open in it, why Burt got
cut, since he didn't know enough to move
his shoulder out of the way. But Burt
didn't take this view of the case, and
Johnnie was lodged behind the bars. His
friends were out in force and told won
dcrful tales of how they called out during
the rumpus, "Ah, Johnnie won't cut no.

did, and he is a bad man from Bitter
Creek He wasn't angry when he did it.
Oh, no. AS one Of his friends said, 81
told Burt to go back until Johnnie was
rcconcised"
The latter word compelled the court to
practically grasp its head and call for the
dictionary. Johnnie wasn't angry per
maps, for, as the last witness said, "he
warnt showing his teeth" Well, in
short, Johnnie was bound over for the
next term in court for the sum Of 500,
and Mayor Blanton, having imposed

his arduous days labor.

He graduated at Harvard, was colonel
in the Confederate army, and command

fully attacked by the Monitor fleet, and
until 1888, when it ceased to be an ar
tillery post of Importance. He was a
well known duellist. The most noted at-

duel in 1863 with Col. Ransom Calhoun,
of South Carolina. After the war he

never heard such dcliciouslv soft and

was never so effectively allied with the
form OF perfect expression as it is in Cor
tons orchestra. The fine body of Young
men who compose the minStrels one and

controlled power, with a dcliCacv of cX-

are free to say, among much that was
new and original, there popped up many
