The JOINT BUILDING
Selectman Howe Fav0rs it's Re
mOyal With Several LIS.

He Does Not Think the Scheme is Urged to
Delay Matters-What Might
Be Done.

"Mr Howe, The HERALD would like to
know precisely where you stand on the
proposition to remove the county and city
building to the Eighth ward square," said
HERALD reporter to Richard Howe, Peo-
pies party member of the county court
yesterday.

few words" was the reply. eff the city
can give US perfect title to the Eighth
ward square, if the city will give the
county site there Tor the $50, 600 (about)
which the county now has in the hole at
city hall corner; aud if the city will guar
antee to build with US a suitable building
in the centre of the square, devoting the
rest of it to a park-then l favor moving
the building to the square. If these things
cannot be done, then am in favor of put
ting the building where it has been COM
menced.
''Do you not think thesEighth ward prop
osition is merely put forward to make 8

ton on the part of the Liberals to erect 8

family or of the imperial or royal uniform.
Moreover, he is not only authorized, but
even obliged to use his saber without hest
tation or remorse if he believes himself to
be in danger of being insulted or struck by
a person whom he supposes to be his infe-
rior in rank, and as such debarred from
giving him satisfaction for the offense in a
duel. Now continental officers are pro-
verbally sensitive on the score of their
sovereign and of their profession. They
are apt to regard the slightest piece of in
dependent and straightforward criticism
in the light of an insult, and before the
American traveller is aware he may find
his remarks cut short by sudden blow,
not with the flat but with the keen edge of
the sword, across the head or the Shout
ders.
AS an illustration of the readiness with
which European officers draw their sabers
on unarmed civilians, may cite an incl
dent of this nature which took place at
Klagenfurt, an important town of Aus
tria, last autumn, and which has recently
been engaging the attention of the author
tiles at Vienna. A number of officers be-
longing to an infantry regiment that

when suddenly dispute, followed by a
scuffle, took place between two men near
the entrance. One of the officers, who hap
pened to be passing by at the time, inquired
what had occurred of a gentleman stand
ing beside him, looking on. The question
was put in tones so gruff and so offensive
that the civilian to whom it was addressed
declined to make any reply. His silence
enraged the officer to such an extent that
he made use of an insulting epithet, which
was Immediately returned in kind.
The officer thereupon boxed the ears of
the civilian, who responded with his fist on
the nose of the lieutenant. The latter at
once drew his sword and cut down the
civilian with blow across the shoulder,
and before the PROSTATE man could recover
his footing he found himself assaulted with
drawn sabers by number of the lieuten-

Tyler's Reply to Topper.

TORONTO, March 13-A special cable dis
patch from London to tho Globe says: Sir
Henry Tyler publishes long reply to Tup-
per's charges. He shows how on February
18th Sir Charles had long interview with
General Manager Sergeant of the Grand
Trunk and warmly appealed for the sup
port of the company in the present emery
ehcy, promising in return that if the gov
eminent sustained, the company should
have the fullest and most friendly support
from the government when required. Be-
cause this appeal was refused Upper
turns round to smte the company with bit
ter invective. The only politics the COM
pany have in Canada are the interests of
the Grand Trunk. Tyler thinks the COM
pany is in better position in regard to the
government as result OF their lndepend-
ant action than if Manager Sergeant had
shown subserviency. Sergeant, he says,
deserves the support and approval Of every
one connected with the company.

snow behind spanking team of four
young Trakener horses, when my compan-
ion and host, Prince T, who was captain
of one of the lancer regiments stationed
there, got into some alteration with
drunken peasant, who had frightened our
nags by cracking his whip.
The man was just intoxicated enough to
be disposed to be ugly, and was daring the
prince to come on" when suddenly the
house door flew open and the princess, Il
delicate, frail looking little woman, rushed
out, holding a drawn saber, which she
thrust in her husbands hand. She had
noticed that he had neglected to buckle on
his sword when he started out for the drive,
and now FASTENED to repair the neglect.
The sight of the saber appeared to have a
kind of SOLDERING effect upon the peasant,
who, without saying another word, whip
ped up his horses ard vanished round the
corner at breakneck speed. As soon as we
got into the house the prince kissed his
wife's small hand in a most affectionate
manner, and thanked her warmly for her
presence of mind" in bringing him his
sword in time.
Without you, my dear Marga," he ex-
claimed, II should now be dishonored
man, and should have nothing else to do
than to blow out my brains" (Eine Kugel

On another occasion, during the grand
maneuvers of the Prussian army, had
just finished luncheon with lieutenant
of dragons when his orderly announced
that little batch of about dozen young
privates, who had misbehaved themselves
was outside the door awaiting his instruc-
tions with regard to their punishment.
! The lieutenant strolled out into the street
in front of the house to the spot where the
men stood, without taking the trouble to
either button up his coat or to buckle on
his sword.
One of the soldiers having returned a
displeasing answer to his remarks, the
lieutenant raised his hand and applied two
vigorous slaps on the face of the man, who
remained standing at attention without
stirring an inch or uttering another sound
At that moment a stranger who was pass
ing on horseback exclaimed, ''Pfui! fol-
shame,' Without moments delay
the lieutenant dashed into the house fol
his sword but by the time he had reap
peared the stranger, who had probably
guessed his intentions, was out of sight
Had he delayed he certainly would have
been cut down by the lieutenant, who wa.
man of excellent family, of many &C
complishments, and who ordinarily wa!
the most gentle, the most courteous ant
high minded of men.

there is still current a we'll authenticated

UNDER A CAR.
4 Little Son of John Lloyd
Frightfully Mangled.
He May Recover, but DR.. Benedict Considers
the Case Very Grave One
at Best,

At about o'clock yesterday morning a
little boy named John Lloyd was run over
by an electric car, at the corner of Fifth
West and First South. The accident &C.
Cured just where the car turns to go north
on Fifth West. 1t appears that he was
standing short distance away from the
car which was going at its usual
speed, and he seemed to be waiting
to see whether the car was going north
or south. The motorman called to him
to get out of the way, applied the
brakes and turned off the current, but to no
purpose, the boy being caught under the
wheels. His right leg was badly crushed,
and it is thought he was injured internally.
DR.. Benedict says amputation may become
necessary, and last evening had hopes that
his patient would RECOVER

Thomas and Esther Black yesterday filed
suit in the Third district court against
Myra Holmes and f. A. Russell in which
they allege that On July |, 1890, S. T. De-
Woodey and S. R. Landes were lessees of
the Enterprise hotel, on Commercial street,
and that on said first day of July said
lessees contracted to sell the lease and fur
niture in the premises to the plaintiff,
Esther Black. with the permission of the
lessor, Mrs. Ella F. Dyer. That subse-
gently the property was sold to defendants
and the lease transferred, and that the de-
PENDANTS have refused to perform their
part of the contract, and are in default of
payment of rent due, etc. They ask for
the appointment of a receiver for the prop
erty and that the defendant be enjoined
from selling or disposing of the property.

DENVER, March 13-This city is without

SERIOUS DANGER

Threatens every man, woman or child liv
ing in region of country where fever and
ague is prevalent, since the germs of ma
larial disease are inhaled from the air and
are swallowed from the water of such a
region. Medicinal safeguard is absolutely
necessary to nullify this danger. AS a
means of terrifying and acclimating the
system so as to be able to resist the mala-
rial poison, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
incomparably the best and the most popu-
lar. 1rregularity Of the stomach, liver and
bowels encourages malaria; but these are
speedily rectified by the Bitters. The
functions of digestion and secretion are as
sisted by its use, and vigorous as well as
regular condition of the system promoted
by it. Constitution and physique are thus
defended from the inroads of malaria by
this matchless preventive, which is also a
thorough remedy in the worst cases of in
termittent and remittent feyers.
