PREPARED IN EITHER CASE.
Ordinances TO Comply With Any Decision
Made by the Supreme Court.

MADE Dy the supreme Court.
The subcommittee to which the Finance
Committee of Councils referred the appropria-
tions ordinances. has been in session several
times, and has mapped out course which it
will pursue. Two ordinances are being pre-
pared, enc framed to meet favorable and one
an adverse decision of the Supreme Court on
the cases now pending. In one of these ordi-
nances allowance is being made for the pay
ment of about one-fourth of the contractors
claims for street improvements that were made
last summer In order to do this and keep
within reasonable bouncs in the matter of tax
millage, deep cuts are proposed In the appro-
nriations for the parks, highways and sewers,
Water Bureau, Fire Bureau, printing, Elec-
trical Bureau and various other items. The ex-
tent OF the cuts could hot be learned but they
are said to foot up enough to cover mills taxes
on the city's assessed valuation. The other or
dinance allows nearly everything asked for by
the chiefs of departments
The Finance Committee will meet in day or
two after the Supreme Cotrt decision is hand
ed down. and the subcommittee will be ready
with an ordinance meeting either favorable
or Its unfavorable decision, and there will be no
further delay.

Projects.

Projects.
S. II, Thompson, of Cleveland, travelling
passenger agent of the Missouri Pacific
road, came into town last night and put up at
the Seventh Avenue. MIR. Thompson says that
his road is in fine shape and that there is moth

Asked if he knew anything of Jay Gould's in
tentions, Mr.. Thompson said that Gould was
apt to keep people guessing as to what his pur
poses might be.
Nobody supposed he was after the Union
Pacific until he bought the road and he is
likely to sell1t any minute if he can his way
to make money by doing The Missouri
Pacific is his pet road and he will never part
with that. The prevalent opinion is that he
will secure the Southern roads he is looking
after. but it is all guess work TO say what he in

Ohlo are making better Western connections
than the Pennsylvania. The morning through

The lowest point reached by the thermometer
was at carly hour in ;he morning, when it
had dropped to IL. That WAS something of a
cold wave but it was not what had been ex-
pected. A fall to at least l2e was anticipated.

A Famous Dream.

Before Watts. the discoverer of the pres
ent mode of making shot, had his notable
dream induced by over indulgence in stimu-
lants-the manufacture in question was a
slow, laboriOus, and consequently costly
process. Great bars of lead had to be
pounded into sheets of thickness nearly
equal to the diameter of the shots desired.
These sheets had then to be cut into little
cubes, placed in revolving barrel, and
there rolled round until. by the constant
friction. the edges wore off from the little
cubes. and they became SpherOidS. Watts
had often racked his brain trying to dis.
cover some better and less costly scheme,
but in vain. Finally, after spending an
evening with some boon companions at the
ale house, he went home, went to bed. and
soon fell asleep. His slumbers, however.
were disturbed by unwelcome dreams. in
one of which he was again out with 1.-THE
boys" and as they were stumbling home it
began to rain shOt-beautiful glObuleS of
polished, shining lead-in such numbers
that he and his companions had to seek
shelter. In the morning Watts remembered
his curious dream, and it Obtruded itself on
what shape molten lead would assume in
falling through the air. and finally, to set
his mind at rest, he ascended to the top of
the steeple of the Church of st. Mary of
Redclffe and dropped slowly and regularly
ladleful Of molten lead into moat below.
Descending, he took from the bottom of
the shallow pool several handfuls of the
most perfect shot he had ever seen. Watts's
fortune was made. for from this exploit
emanated the idea of the shot tower, which
ever since has been the only means en-
plOyed in the manufacture of the little mis-.
siles so important in war and sport.-The
Churchman.

dreds of persons this day lying in the prison
bunks who would leap up at the prospect
of reformation. if society would only allow
them way into decency and reSpectablity.
"Oh," you say, II have no patience with
these rogues." l ask you. in reply, how
much better would you have been under the
sameycircumstances? Suppose your mother
had been blasphemer and your father a
sot, and you had started life with a body
stuffed with evil prOclivities, and you had
spent much of your time in a cellar amid
Obscenities and cursing, and suppose
your early manhood and wOmanhoOd had
been covered with rags and filth and de-
cent society had turned its back upon you,
and left you to cOnsOrt with vagabOnds and
wharfrats-how much better would you
have been? l have no sympathy with that
executive clemency which would let crime
run loose, or which would sit in the gallery
of court room weeping because some hard
hearted wretch is brought to justice; but I
do say that the safety and life of the COM
munity demand more potential influences
in behalf of public offenders.
Again: Among the uprOOting classes
place the oppressed poor. Poverty to a
certain extent is Christening. but after that.
when it drives man to the wall, and he
hears his children cry in vain for bread. it
sometimes makes him desperate. 1 think
that there are thousands of honest men lac
Grated into vagabondism. There are men
crushed under burdens for which they are
not half paid. While there is no excuse for
criminality. even in oppression, I state it
as simple fact. that much of the scoun-
drelism of the community is consequent
upon ill. treatment. There are many men
and woman battered and bruised and stung
until the hour of despair has come, and
they stand with the ferocity of wild beast
which, pursued until it can run no longer,
turns round. foaming and bleeding, to fighe
the hounds.
In this cluster of cities, whose cry of
want interpret. there are said to be, as
far as l can figure it up from the reports.
about 800, 900 honest poor who are depend
ent upon individual, city and state charitas.
If all their voices could come up at once it
would be a groan that would shake the
foundations of the city and bring all earth
and heaven to the rescue. But for the most
part it suffers uneXpressed. 1t sits in ST.
lence, gnashing it's teeth and sucking the
blood of its own arteries, waiting for the
judgment day. From DR.. Talmage's Ser

Nothing reveals the characters of people
more than the gifts and bequests they make.
Could anything, for instance, better exhibit
the amiabilty of DR.. Gregory. once IA
nous Edinburgh physician, than the fol.
lowing conduct? One day he was receiving
fees for the privilege of attending his lect-
ures. He left student, and went into an
adjoining room for fresh supply of admis
sion tickets. In mirror he saw the stu
dent sweep into his pocket some sovereigns
from heap of gold (the fees of other stu
dents) that lay on the table. The doctor
returned, dated the admission ticket. and
gave it to the thief. He then politely
attended him to the door, and on the thresh-
old said. with deep emotion, II saw what
you did just now. Keep the money. I
know what distress you must be in. But
for Gods sake never do it again-it can
never succeed" The pupil implOred Greg
ory to take back the money. but he re-
fused. saying. ''YOur punishment is this,
you must keep it-nOw you have taken it."

youth turned out an honest man.-The
