THE HOMELESS ONES.

A note of the meeting of the officers and
directors of the Children's Home, in con-
junction with the advisory board OF that
institution, will be found elsewhere. 1t
does not take the EAGLE to tell that that
worthy charity has place in the hearts Of
our men and women and especially in the
hearts of the young people. The truth Is
they need much larger and more comfort
able quarters, a home that would be a
home and home all their own. Many
plans and suggestions were offered at the
meeting touching the matter of new
home. Some of these devices seemed to
commend themselves to the judgment of
the officers and board and in the near
future doubtless the ladies will put the
matter forward in way that will burthen
nobody. Mrs. Foster, the president, is
pleased with the outlook and quite SAN
guine that victory will in due time crown
the effort.

THE COUR rs.
DISTRICT COURT.

TAYLOR VS. Farrow was in hearing before
Judge Reed yesterday and argued. The
application for continuance in the case OF
state VS. Wilson was argued and granted.
The Telephone company, through its at
torneys, Bently and Ferguson, sued out an
Injunction restraining the city from cut
ting down the poles. 1t seems, without
giving any very good reasons, that the city
officials threaten to take the law IN their
own hands. The court wants to under
stand the matter and therefore grants a
temporary stay pendinu legal action IN the
premises.
PROBATE COURT.
The marrying business was rather dull
in the Probate Court yesterday, and only
one license was issued to Andrew L. Lind
wall and Mrs, Estelle NJ. Parish. The
Judge officiated and made the happy couple
one at once.
Robt. Black guardian Johnston minors
fled second settlement.
Final settlement and discharge OF ad-
ministratrix of estate of II. w. Deming
deceased filed.
Settlement of administrator IN estate OF
W. c. Boston, filed.
COMMON PLEAS.
Clark VS.. Butterfield was in hearing be-
fore Judge Balderston yesterday. No i'm
portant issues were iied during the day.
A few motions argued took the balance
of the day.
JUSTICE COURTS

John Aondou and Phillip Lewis were

over and gave $500 bonds for his appear
ance at the District Count.
Justice Barrett was sick yesterday.
Civil work took up the time in Justice
keenan's court yesterday.

NOT ENFORCED.

Some of the leading commission houses
of the city are very much dissatisfied with
the way in which the license ordinance
passed recently is being enforced They
petitioned the council for an ordinance
imposing license on those engaged In
the business to prevent the peddling from
"the track" The ordinance was passed
and three or four of the leading houses
paid license, but the fellows who had been
peddling have not ceased as it is claimed,
and the license amounts to nothing.
1t is said another petition Is likely to
become before the council at its next
meeting. seeking the enforcement of the
ordinance. But one of the merchants con-
cerned said yesterday that that looked
very foolish as the council had nothing to
do with enforcing the ordinance, but sup
posed it might be able to start such agita-
ton as might lead to the enforcement of
the ordinance.

GASOLINE EXPLOSION.

Mr.. Marion Hughes, dyer Of ia North
Market street, was quite seriously hurt by
a gasoline explosion yesterday afternoon.
He was in a small shed IN the rear OF the
City hotel about half past four engaged IN
cleaning gasoline stove with a can OF
gasoline near by. In some way, inexplic-
able to himself the oil in the can became
ignited and hence the explosion He was
pretty badly stunned and covered with
burning oil. DR. Reutz reports his burns
as serious but as they are not deep he does
not regard them as dangerous For few
moments it looked as if fire would result
and the department was called out. The
services of the fire boys were not needed
however owing to the prompt measures
taken by the bystanders who quickly
smothered the flames. No blame.seems TO
attach to anyone and it Is generally con-
coded that the accident was in the cate
CORY Of the unavoidable.
