700 Destitute Italians.

MARsEILLEs, May 2O.-The steamer
Bearn, from Brazilian and Argentine
ports, has arrived here, bringing back
about seven hundred utterly destitute
italian emigrants, who had sought
fortune in those countries. During
the passage from South America,
there were five deaths from yellow
fever, among the disheartened emil
grants. They tell startling stories of
the hardships they have suffered,
and it is expected that their return
will tend to stop the tide of emigra-
ton from Italy to South America.

BIRMINGHAM, May 2O.-T. F. Davis
is dead. In November, 1889, as rail-
road brakeman, he was struck by q
projecting rock in Tales cut, while
clim bling up the side of the cars, and
seriously hurt. The physicians soon
discovered that his heart was moved
from the left to the right side. His
entire insides were disarranged and
began moving from one side to the
other. In the course of time his
heart moved eight inches from Its
normal position and was on the right
side. Davis dwindled from q hearty,
robust man to an invalid, and grew
gradually weaker until he died. 1t
has been q most remarkable case.

SHORT STOPS.

What the People are Saying.
The choking up of our narrow bust
ness streets by lines of electric wire
railways is one Of the most serious
injuries that could be dealt at the
business value of the property in the
very center of the city.
The people are beginning to fully
appreciate the fact that the indis-
criminate granting of railway fran
chises to rapid transit railways Is q
piece of municipal folly that will
sooner or later bring trouble and
much vexation that the city will be
called on to undo that which it will
be difficult to undo.
The tracks on Houston street will
prevent that street from ever becom.
ing q great business thorough
fare, while the line on Soledad
street amounts to the entire abandon
ment of that street, so far as any
amount of traffic is concerned.
Now that the track is up on Sole
oou, ItoA houetOu W tu0 plaza, IL
should never be put down again.
1t seems that our city council is in
capable of proposing anything, I'M
less it comes from the mayor. The
printing contract was up on the last
OF February. and yet there Is no more
towards readvertising for bids. The
advertising and printing seems to
have fallen a sort of legacy to the city
clerk. who deals 1t out as he sees fit.
Can't some alderman get up spunk
enough to make kick at the way the
city business is privately managed.
1t is evident that the Snew city
charter con tains provisions not very
interesting to the present city admin
istration or else a copy Of the act
would have been obtained long ago,
and printed for the information of the
people.
In the course of time the State will
print the acts of the legislature in
book form and our city admins ton
may secure copy.
The new city amendments are oper-
alive now: and yet the people are
told that there is no copy of the law
in the possession of the city.
