DYNAMITE WILL BE USED
in the morning. There were a good
many who made use of the life preserv-
ers, but probably none who had as good
or as much use of them as had Robert
Adams, the ~17-year-old son of DR.. Adams
of Lake City and a companion from Red
Wing. They had three life preservers
and were in the water six hours before
being rescued. Young Adams could
swim but his companion could not. They
had the good sense to float quietly and
not attempt to fight the waves to shore.
During the six hours they we're in
the water, from 8 to 8, they were buffeted
by the pillows and blown hither and yon
by the gale. They first drifted about a
mile down past the town and then q
change in the wind carried them up the
river to Frontenac, seven miles from
here, where they were rescued by DR..
Game and party, still alive and well, but
considerably the worse for their hard e1-
perience.
THE FUNERALS
will be most of them held at Red Wing
tomorrow. That town is vast scene
of mourning. The coroner says there
are thirty-three who have not yet been
reported, and it is probable that nearly
that number will be among the dead.
The exact number Of those whose bodies
have already been recovered varies very
slightly. Some place the number at
sixty and others at si1ty-six, which
would make the total number Of dead
and missing ninety-nine. It may prove
that some Of these will be later heard
from. Al to that, time alone can tell.

loafers, designation place at the cost
of millions of pubic money, TO be
raised mostly from the taxpayers of
the South Town.
The South Side will not stand that.
What in the name of heaven does
the city want with any more park
land?
The parks now under direct control
of the city are shamefully neglected.
The Park Commissioners cannot i'm
prove the ground intrusted to their
charge. Half of Jackson Park is yet
a wilderness.
Half of Garfield Park is a common.
But the most rascally proposition
made yet is that embodied in the
words "and the the said Worlds Co.
lumbar Exposition shall be entitled
to retain possession of said land until
the amount due hereunder shall be re-
paid"
That means that the directors want
to grab and hold on. No wonder such
a proposition reused the anger of the
Council last Monday evening.
1t is proposal for bald and bold
robbery.
No proposition akin to it should be
entertained.
It is better that the Worlds Fair
should be a tizzle.
1t is likely to be fizzle, anyhow.

quent occasion to fill nail-holes and
other defects in the woodwork of
houses. Putty is the substance relied
upon to do this work, but there are OBJ
iections to its use. The Scientific
american recommends q substitute
The following method of filling old
nail-holes in wood is not only simple
but is said to be effectual. Take fine
sawdust and mix into thick paste
with glue, pound it into the hole, and
when dry it will max the wood as good
as new, One correspondent says he
has followed this for thirty years with
unvarying success in repairing bellows,
which is the most severe test known.
Often by frequent attachment of new
leather to old bellows frames the wood
becomes so perforated that there is no
space to drive the nails, and even if
there was the remaining holes would
allow the air to escape. A treatment
with glue and sawdust paste invariably
does the work, while lead, putty and
other remedies always fail

the passage of the amended ordinance?
1t looks like it,
The amended ordinance is much
more valuable one than the old one.
1t provides for "two or more" tracks.
Six may be used.
1t proposes to increase the fare one
cent. 1t was four cents. 1t is pro-
posed to make it five cents.
1t proposes to obstruct other az"
roads.
1t proposes to run package express
business.
1t proposes to go into the market
with franchise to sell.
Perhaps the purpose is to find a
terminus for the Northern Pacific
Road and right of way along Lake
street.
1t gives the incorporators the right
to assign the franchise when and to
whom it may choose.
1t is thoroughly bad ordinance.
And yet it is proposed to rush this
through without verifcation of the
petition.
1t is proposed to put it through
without amendment.
1t is proposed to put it through
without submitting it to the Corpora
ton Counsel.
1t is scandalous job.
BY voting for it the Aldermen will
confess themselves fools or knaves.
THE EAGLE will print the names
under that classification unless the or
dinance is properly amended;
Fools OR KNAvEs."
Who want to be so classed?
Do reformers Martin and Roth pro-
pose to be listed?

LOOK OUT FOR HIM.

The members Of the Legislature
now in session at Springfield will do
we'll to look out for Mr. Thomas B.
Bryan. the smooth article who draws
81, 900 per wear as Vice President OF
the Worlds Fair Directors.
The Times calls attention to him in
the following leading editorial
The Worlds Fair Directory have
assigned Thomas B. Bryan to repre-
sent that body at Springfield. Mr.
Bryan is authorized to telegraph a
requisition for the presence of as many
additional directors as he may think
necessary.
The Times wishes Mr.. Bryan all
possible success. He will probably
call for re-enforcements Mr.. Bryan
has never been prodigy of success at
anything he has undertaken. He is a
rolling stone that has gathered no
moss, In the directory he has faced
half-a-dozen ways, and seized the oc-
casion of banquet to stultify as far
as he was able the position of the di-
rectory on the lake front.
The assembly will learn from Mr..
Bryan little that is trustworthy and
less that is practical. He can talk
longer and say less than any man in
the General Assembly, resembling
therein Gratiano, who spoke an indef-
mite deal of nothing, more than any
man in all Venice. His reasons are as
two grains of wheat hid in two bushels
of chaff :. You shall seek all day ere
You find them, and when you have
them they are not worth the search
1t was unwise to advance Mr.. Bryan
to the post Of danger. He would come
nearer earning his extraordinary salary
if he remained at home.
The directory will best signify its
wisdom by sending to Springfield q
stronger man."

The WORLDS FAIR MIDDLE.

Still that Worlds Fair Lake Front
matter is not settled
The obstacles i'll the way are the
greed and stupidity of the directors
and the utter lack Of capacity demon
strated by Mayor Cregier
The Worlds Fair Directors rejected
the ordinance passed by the City Coun-
Gil week ago Monday.
1t did not suit the ideas of the di-
rectors because it contained the follow
ing provisions-the first proposed by
Alderman Madden, the second by Al
derman Gahan:
81. The privileges herein granted are
upon the express condition that under
no circumstances shall the city of Chi
cago, or any part thereof, be called
upon, or become in any way liable,
either as part of the city, or as town or
towns, or as park district, for any
portion of the expense which may be
incurred or become necessary by reason
of the filling up or improving of the
land submerged or otherwise included
in the space lying east of the Illirois
Central Railroad Company's tracks,
and sought to be filed and improved
by this ordinance.
-. Any land lying east of the said
Lake Front, and south of the center of
Monroe street projected, and north Of
Park Row projected, hereafter made,
either by accretions or by filing or
piling, by or under the direction of
the Board of Directors of the Worlds
Columbian Exposition under this or
dinance. shall on and after May /, 1895.
accrue to and be the property of the
said city of Chicago"
Now, the meaning of those amend
ments is plain enough. They seek to
accomplish a desirable and laudable
purpose.
The first seeks to make the Worlds
Fair directors pay for filling the land
which they are to use.
The second seeks to protec. the
city's rights, and to prevent the
Worlds Fair directors from getting
any control over the city's property.
The Worlds Fair directors, how
ever, propose to strike out the first and
to amend the second by providing that
the made land is:
TO be maintained as a public park
provided, the said city Of Chicago
shall first refund 10 the Worlds
Columbian Exposition the cost Of such
filling or piling, or both. with interest
thereon from May 4. 1895, until paid.

ANOTHER COUNCIL JOB.

The following account of the pro-
ceedings of the Committee on Streets
and Alleys West is clipped from one of
the daily papers:
chairman Powers and his Commit
tee on Streets and Alleys West made
new departure in considering the
amended ordinance of the West Lake
Street IL Company yesterday. 1t is
usual to refer the petition which ac-
companies such an ordinance to the
Commissioner of Public Works for
verification before any action is taken.
This was two slow for Mr.. Powers
committee. 1t recommended the ordi-
nance for adoption by vote of 8 to g..
Afterward the empty form of referring
the petition to Commissioner Purdy
was gone through. The Corporation
Counsel is not to be consulted at all as
to the character of the ordinance.
Kelly and Kent were the only alb
sentees.
AID. Roth who introduced the ordi-
nance first and the petition afterwards,
evinced great zeal in suggesting
amendments He had whole bundle
of them written out. One proposed to
amend the section about assigning,
another proposed to amend the sec
ton about the express packages, still
another the section about the eleva-
ton of the crossings, etc. At one
time Roth made it appear that his
amendments were so important that
seven of the members of the committee
voted to send them to the Law De
partment to be Incorporated in the
ordinance. These were Murphy, Nc
Enemy, Martin, Roth, Jackson, Dahl
man, Mulvihill, Conway.
But Martin changed his mind. Cul
lerton suggested that Roth's amend
ments could accompany the ordinance
if it were reported to the Council
Roth, too, was tickled with the ideG
that his amendments should be print
ed. Martin moved to reconsider the
vote by which the ordinance was to be-
sent to the Corporation Counsel Rotl
seconded the motion, which prevailed
by the following vote;
yeas Bunker, Cullerton, Ryan
Mahoney, Roth, Jackson, Conway
Martin, Powers.
mays -Dahlman, Mulyihill, Mem
erny.
"By the same vote the ordnanc,
was recommended for passage, ant
