Another instance of the force of ex-

discover ii that one a. J. Smith, a

Business.
The city council met last night in
the council chamber. all members being
present and Mayor LebOld presiding.
After roll call and the reading aad
approving of the minutes Of previous
sessions, motion was made by COun-
Gilman Winfield and seconded byD. W.
Howard that the city attorney be In
structed to appeal the case Of Copper
thwaite VS.. the city of Abilene, just de-
cided by the district court. On vote
the motion carried unanimously.
The reports of the city treasurer and
police judge were received and referred
to the finance committee with inStruc-
tons to report on same at the next
meeting. The city clerks report WAS
also received and ordered spread on
minutes.
On motion the city attorney was III
structed to examine the police Judges
report and ascertain the amount the
city is liable for.
The city clerk reported that he had
legally notified }. Z. Bone6rake, presi-
dent of the Water Works Co, of the
resolution passed June 18th, regarding
the djScOntinuence of the use Of the
water at present furnished.
Mr.. J. E. Bonebrake talked over in
formally the proposition to bring the
Sand springs water to the city to supply
,he wafer works system. lie showed
the members that there would be from
two and one half miles to three miles
Of new mains necessary by such action
and as the Wafer Works company, by
its contract. is entitled to give the city
ten hydrants to the mile it will hecessi-
tate from twenty to thirty new
nydrauts. This will cost the city
about S1.T00 annually extra for the
item of water. Desirable as pure water
is, the question of added expense is an
important one and Will have to be care
fully considered.
After talking oyer the matter the
council adjourned to meet next Friday

glory of Anna Dickinson. She is
almost forgotten now. and lives only in
the memory of those who can recall her
magnetic eloquence of twenty years ago.
The close of one of her lectures was
magnncently picturesque and full of
noble thought; she described a sunrise
on Gray's Peak-a prose poem which
must ever stamp her as a women of
genius, and, although this splendid
intellect is wellnigh forgot, and her
books and speeches are aforementioned.

Damages Against the CITY.

The motion for Il new trial i'll tie
case of George W. CowpeT;hwaite
against the city Of Abilene, which has
been pending since the case was tried
last November, came up for hearing in
the district court yesterday. The
motion WAS denied and Judgment rem
dered against the city for S2,1O0 with
I per cent. interest from Nov. 3, 1888.
This is the third judgment against the
city for over $4,000 within the last five
years. y Avery small portion Of this sum
spent in keeping our streets and side
walks in repair would have saved the
city over So, 900 and costs of three suits.
This ought to be waning to our city
authorities. The present dilapidated
condition of many of our sidewalks is
anything but encouraging for the
future. There is scarcely any excuse
for the delay in getting them leveled
down and made reasonably safe for
travel.

that, just before the Presidents departure for Wood

Allison, Cullom and Dolph, who urged upon him
their opinion that no important step should be taken
by him without party consultation, and that the wishes
Of the leading Of the party should be considered
In the appointments for their sections. The STAR
added that the President expressed his agreement
with these views of the Senators, who thorcupon
resolved to hold Of Republican Senator'S In
