A bid from w. T. Lambie for rant;ro

Land Committee.
The majority OF the garbage committee
recommended that an amendment be
lnserteo IN the contract to the effect that
garbage should be collected satisfactorily
to the Board OF Health, instead of from
every house in the city.
Mr.. Hamilton submitted the contract
and bond signed by the contractor who
had agreed to collect the garbage from
each and every house in the citv,
Mr.. McLaIn said that it was manifestlv
unfair to ask Mr.. Donegan to carry out
his contract.
MIR. Hamilton said that he was Look
ing out for the city's interests and not
for MIR. Donegan's. He had bid with
that understanding and had signed the
contract.
MIR. Donegan said that he proposed to
give reasonable services, but there were
| some houses which he could not reach
except by the aid of mules.
The matter was finally referred back
to the committee to amend in relation

Captain Ross, the former keeper of the
hay market, appeared on behalf of the
farmers, who objected to tie action Of
the city in closing the hay market. They
desired to know what was to be done
with them; whether thew were to be
legisleted out of the city. Captain Ross
said that up to the time of the rains the
receipts had been large enough to cover
all the expenses. What the farmers
wanted to know was whether the city
would not rent cheaper piece of land
and continue the hay market.
The matter was dropped, and after the
petitions were referred to the proper
committees the Council adjourned

HELENA, May 1i.-The supreme court
to-day handed down "a decision affirming
the Judge Hunt decision in refusing a
new trial To Albert Jackson. now under
sentence Of death. The princi-
pal argument which the defendant
raised was that the jurymen were
~prejudiced by reading newspaper
accounts Of the trial during its progress.
Judge Dewitt who delivered the opinion
holds that this IL not n sufficient reason
for reversing the decision, because "a
newspaper does not come within the
meaning Of the section Of law on which
the argument was based. The opinion
further says that IL is competent for "a
iuryman 10 testify as la whether his mind
was p~redjudiced by reading the accounts.
These are important points which the
opinion settles for future similar cases.
