HIS BREATH Took FIRE.-Twelve years
ago. in the month. of Aug, 1877, q man met
d cath in peculiar and horrible manner In
San Francisco. The writer believes that q
full and euccinct account of this rare acci-
dent has never been given the public, the
proprietor OF the establishment where it
occurred keeping the facts from the report
ers for fear of hurting his trade. They are
about as follows: James Harley, the vic.
tim, had just recovered from en- attack of
de!irium tremens He bad been regular
sot. and wss thoroughly soaked with aoo-
hol. His last attack of the ''jim jams" was
the third he had undergone within few
montbs. On the moroiDg in question he
had started Oh another spree. At about IL
o'clock in the day he had about all the Ii
quor on board he was able to carry. Step
picg into q saloon on one of the principal
streets, be called for swig OF "bug juice"
which was promptly refused, the bartender
noting the condition of the man, and re-
membering his late battle with the snakes.
Harley scowled, and turned to the gas-iet
to light his pipe. A second later there was
drunken ~ oan, flash of alcoholic flame,
and Harley fell heavily on the foor his
head and neck yelled in smoke, while blue
jets of fame we're issuing from his ears.
mouth and nostris. As soon as water could
be procured (water is commodity rather
scarce around such places), it was dashed in
the sufferer's face, not in time, however, to
save his life. The face was as black as that
of negro. the ears were charred, the In
side of the mouth black, and the tongue
roasted to crisp. 1t was horrible and
uncanny death-ope for which duplicate
would be hard to fnd-St. Louis Republic.

INJUNCTION DECIDED.
The Entire Matter VIII Remain in Abeyance
Pending Decision by the Supreme Court.

Yesterday afternoon, according to an
Judge Reed gave his decision in the Nich-
tia street railway injunction. The event
| had been anticipated with considerable in
| terest by the public, but no one seemed to
have any very positive conclusion as to
how the court might decide. The case
was, briefly, whether the Riverside & Sub
urban should occupy jointly the Wich-
| tia street railways road bed, with the last
named company, in the manner proposed,
| for one block on South Market street.
The gravity of the case was in the princi-
Piles that such step established; in other
words, not the length of the step but the
direction was appalling. Both sides seemed
to feel the Importance of the point
at issue and neither neglected
| to bring every thing to bear that could be
thought of in the way of law argument or
evidence. At half past four the attorneys
were summoned and the court announced
| its readiness to give decision. At the
ontset Judge Reed said he had not had the
time to prepare written opinion as would
doubtless have been best but would be
compelled to give simply his conclusions
The court denied the application of the
plaintiff for temporary injunction but
| remarked at the time that as restraining
order was in existence he supposed there
would be no contention, but that the
plaintiffs rights were intact for proper
adjustment by the supreme court. 1t
would seem therefore that the whole mat
ter will remain in allegiance until the de-
cision of the district court is reviewed by
the supreme court.
The court further said that there
were two propositions presented
for its consideration first,-what, if
any rights the Wichita Street railway had
on South Market street. Second-what,
if any, rights the Riverside company had
to the same territory. The court denied
the proposition commended for by the plain
| tiffs, viz: that they had under their fran
chise the exclusive right upon such street
or any other street in the city. The legis-
lature had never conferred that authority,
and the ordinance granting such right to
the old city railway was to that extent
void The court conceded the right of the
legislature to confer such authority, but
contended that 10 such authority could be
DuG uluSt OC SA-
pressed in the act.
He knew of no precedent to the contrary.
The exact state Of facts involved in this
case was entirely new. but the court
thought that there were we'll known prin-
ciples of law that would apply to the facts
The court did not wish to be under
stood as deciding that one road
could coincide another for all
purposes, but in this case he
thought the purpose of the road being
simply a connection. it was proper under
reasonable regulations of the municipal
authorities.
The court also announced that these
conclusions had been reached upon some
other facts; which under the circumstances
in the case he would not announce as it
might be indicating the mind of the court
upon matters that might hereafter arise
and in fact, tend to stimulate still further
complications.

CITY COUNCIL.

| The city council met last night in regu-
| lar session with Mayor Clement in the
chair and Messrs Healy, Carson, Schnitz-
Ter, Downing. Barnes, johnson, Glaze, Cot
| fin, Herrig and Mercer present.
| The city engineer reported discrepancy
in the report of the sewer man holes and
| observation holes. On motion the engineer
was instructed to count and report the ex-
act number of man holes next meeting.
The engineers estimate of 1868. 50 for
draining the Burton car works neighbor-
hood was adopted and the clerk instructed
to advertise for b de-.
Mr. Healy submitted that the street la
borers ought to be paid but there was not
enough money in the treasury and he did
not understand why.
Mr.. Downing thought it would take a
Philadelphia lawyer to solve the problem.
An allusion was made to the joints, but as
the matter soon got to be personal in a
good natured way it was dropped. An
ordinance appropriating 5000 for the pay
ment of the street labor was passed, which
will virtually go into effect as soon as the
money is in the treasury Action on re-
moving the Western Union poles from the
streets to the allies, as has often been
threatened, was put off indefinitely. The
finance committee and city attorney, to
whom was assigned the special duty of
investigating MIR Collins official connec-
ton with the Doremus matter, reported
that no progress had been made owing to
the fact that Mrs. Doremus had left the
city. A contract to pave the alleys be-
tween Main and Market north of Douglas
Wit or IaI
to Messrs. Mulyane & keply at $2.6S per
square yard. A remonstranse against
asphalt from the Douglas avenue property
owners representing over 5000 feet, was
read and referred to the paving committee.
The claim of DR.. Wilson for damages
against the city came up for discussion.
The plaintiffs attorney said that the case
had been decided in the lower courts
awarding his client So, 500 in all, and that
the case had been appealed. As his client
needed the money he would accept $, 500
and stop litigation.
On motion of Mr.. Healy the city attor-
ney was authorized to compromise the
matter for s., 500 if possible.
a communication was read Messrs.
Buckeridge and Pratt, former members OF
the finance committee, reporting that they,
acting under authority, had rented the
present rooms for the councils use for the
period of one year and that the council had
approved the contract last January. The
communication was placed on file,
which virtually put an end TO
to the proposed removal. Mr.. Getto also
addressed the council in writing intimat-
ing that he considered the contract for the
the rooms between him aud the city good
for one year.
No other business coming up the meet
ing adjourned
