The Council committee on fire depart
ment met last night and ordered the
payment OF bills 10 amounting to
$6SS 81. Chief Healy reported that
John Korn, stokar, and Richard Kenney
and Daniel Gould, extramen at the
Vigilant, had resigned and that he had
appointed William Fox, stoker, and
Thomas Roylc and Albert saddler extra
men in their places. he also reported
the appointment OF West Saunders
extraman at the Atlantic in place OF
John Peters, resigned.
A letter from John A. Seeley, electro
cal engineer in charge OF the Wheeling
work, was received. He stated that he
had received letter from Mr.. NJ r,
Wolf, informing him that the fire
alarm wires are carried in part on the
telephone poles and that it is proposed,
where the fire alarm wires are now sup
ported on separate poles, to put them
on the electric light poles. Mr.. Wolff
objected to this plan, for the reason
that the induction from the electric
wires would make buzzing sound in
the telephones. Mr.. Wolff stated that
he would prefer to have the fire alarm
wires on the telephone poles exclusive
". Mr.. Seeley in his letter said it
Would not do TO carry the alarm wires
on both sets OF poles. The matter was
laid aside to wait for Mr.. Seeley's ar
rival in town, when II can be fully dis
cussed with Mr.. Wolff present.

TO BE SUBMITTED.
The Finance Committee Decides That the
Interest on the Bridge Bonds Must be In

The Finance Committee Decides That the
Interest ON the Bridge Bonds Must be In
creased.
The Council committee on finance
met last night pursuant to adjourn
ment to consider the report Of the sub
committee appointed at the last meet
ing to assist the commission in its
efforts to sell the bonds issued for the
Main street bridge. 3fessrs. Pollock,
Maxwell and Farrell, the members Of
the subcommittee were present, and
with them Messrs. Kenney and Kreiter.
The subcommittee had two letters,
one from w. j. Hayes q Son, Of Cleve-
land, and one from Lampbrecht Bros,
also OF Cleveland. both investment bank
ing concerns. Alessrs. Hayes & Sons
said il the bonds bore 81 per cent inter
est they could give them consideration,
and Lambrecht Bros. enclosed list Of
questions concerning the population.
etc, OF the city, which they wanted
answered before they made any propo.
sition whatever. Clerk Thoner said he
had filled out hundreds Of blanks almost
like that one, and had never heard OF
them again.
Senator Ensheimer had written let
ter to one OF his insurance companies
at Hartford, Conn, asking If they
wanted any bonds, and Mr.. Farrell had
the reply, which was not even enconr-
aging. There was very little discussion
as to ways and means for floating the
bonds or paving the estimate that is
due tonight. Mr.. Farrell asked Mr..
Pollock If he could go to New York, to
which the gentleman very promptly
replied that he could not. Mr.. Kenney
asked If it would not be possible to bor-
row temporarily from the water board,
and Mr.. Farrell informed him that the
board had no money to lend and none
that had not been appropri-
ated for other purposes. MIR.
Kenney then asked about the gas
board and learned that it was to put up
SO, 600 for the electric light plant and
had none to spare. 1t was suggested
that the estimate be passed by Council
tonight, the clerk authorized to issue
an order on the commissionersof tho
loan, they to pay it when the money
comes into their hands. There seemed
to be no objection to this plan, though
it was not shown that Paige, Carey &
Co. would be any nearer their money
than they are now. Some members OF
the committee were 10th to give up the
scheme to float the bonds as they are,
but there seemed to be no way out Of it,
but to submit to the people aE ordinance
making loan OF S69,50O, at @ per cent,
the amount Of the 100000 not yet pro-
vided.
Mr.. Kenney finally brought the mat
ter to head by Offering a resolution
instructing the city solicitor to have an
ordinance prepared to be presented to
to.night's meeting of Council, providing
for the issue of sG9,5OO bonds at 0 per
cent, to be voted on by the people at
the earliest possible day. This reso-
luton was adopted without dissenting
vote and will go to Council tonight.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Artiticial frost
prevention is now suggested as an out
growth Of Senator Farwell's scheme for
artificial rain production. Mr.. l.. G..
KnifTen, of Chicago, has written letter
to Secretary Rusk on the subject. His
theory is that clouds Of artificial mists
prevent the radiation Of heat from the
earth. He suggests that the machinery
and materials used by Colonel Dyren-
furth in causing rain be tested rs n
means OF bringing the clouds closer to
the earth and OF creating a sort OF fog
which will be preventative against the
ravages OF frost.

THE oRIENrAL CONGRESS.
a Discussion on the Mistakes Made by the
European sIerchnnts.

European A4eEcnunGs
LONDON, Sept. AT to-day's session
of the Oriental Congress the members
received number of delegates from the
Chamber of Commerce, and together
they discussed the mistakes of the
white traders in. dealing with the
Eastern people.
The opinion was expressed that they
ought to avoid touching upon preju-
dices. Professor Sehlegel gave, as an
instance of such prejudice, the colors
classed by the Chinese as being lucky,
or as being unlucky, saving that they
refused to buy goods wrapped up in
paper OF the unlucky colors.
DIR. Leitner referred to the dishonesty
of British merchants, which, he said,
was injuring Oriental trade generally.

It was q matter Of common comment
among those present who were not
members Of the Board that the 100000
now in dispute ought to be paid to the
company, and at once. One gentleman
very emphaticaIly remarked that there
never was any just question Of the right
OF the company TO the remainder OF the
county's subscription.
On the return the party inspected
the freight switch and yards at Jona-
than's raYine, aud then fastened to
Reymann's brewery, where they paid a
social call, to admire the machinery
and the new addition.
The tour wound up at the Union sta
ton on Market street at the creek. 1t
is advancing rapidly toward completion.
Mr.. Eayrs said he expected TO receive a
passenger car next week. In q month
or six weeks passenger trains will be
run from Martins Ferry TO the Union
station, and from the Union station to
the Eighth ward.

Courteous.

Most Of us are apt to omit toward
those Of our own family many Of the
outward tokens of respect that we
habitually show to our less familiar
friends and acquaintances. To this
rule, as TO all others, there are, of
course exceptions.
Those who pass certain house in
a town not far from Boston on their
way to business in the morning, often
see what is TO them most beautiful
and touching sight. Down the front
steps comes gentleman about sixty
five years of age, but evidently hale
and vigorous; in the big bay window
can be seen his wife, a feeble, sickly
lady supported on her crutches,
watching her husband on his way.
Fhe old gentleman walks briskly
on until he reaches the street corner,
some PAGES away; then he turns,
glances back with smile for the low
ing face in the window, throws it a
kiss, and raising his hat in the most
ceremOniOus manner, bows low and
passes around the corner out OF sight
Such things as this show that
courtesy toward ones own household
is not thing of the past, that famil-
iarity does not always breed contempt.
Well would it be for us all to heed
the lesson.

The Ancient Rhinoccros.

It is very interesting TO look at the
pictures of the world In the long past
ages that geology presents TO our
imagination. We see that there was
n time when even the polar regions
must have bloomed with many OF the
splendid and varied forms Of life that
now adorn the tropics.
The fossil remains of these ancient
forms preserved in the bosom Of the
rocks carry us back perhaps millions
OF years in the earth's history, and
show clearly what wonderful revolu-
lions the surface Of the globe has
undergone since the first plants and
the first animals appeared upon it.
Who would think Of meeting a
rhinoceros nowadays on the prairies of
northwestern Canada, unless, per-
chance, a travelling menagerie should
pass that way?
Yet at one time, as recent dis
coveries prove, creature closely re-
sembling the rhinoceros of India and
Africa dwelt in that now compare
lively cold, snowy and barren region.
Remains of these extinct ancestors
Of an animal that in our day thrives
only in the tangled tropical forests
and under the hot equatorial sun have
been found buried in the Canadian
rocks, where now the cold blasts OF
winter blow over treeless plains and
sweep the tanks Of ice-incrusted
mountains.
The rhinoceros Of that remote age
was no less formidable beast than
his defendants, for the skull of one of
the skeletons discovered is three feet
long, while some of its teeth are four
inches across.
The fossil remains Of many other
forms Of animals have lately been
found there, including extinct species
Of the horse, the deer and the turtle.
In some far-away time perpetual
summer must have reigned in regions
where ice and snow now prevail for d
large part Of the year, or else animals
that to-day love only the sun must
have been Injured TO more rigorous
climate.
Geology has evidently only just be-
gun to unfold the wonderful story OF
the worlds history.

rhc Last letter Written by Dickens.

Charles Dickens last letter, one of
the most interesting that he ever
wrote, came into the market few
days ago at Bristol, England, and
was speedily snapped up for couple
Of guineas. 1t was written TO Mr..
Makeham, and runs as follows:
at would be quite inconceivable to
me-but for your letter-that any
reasonable reader could possibly at
tach a scriptural reference to pass
age in a book OF mine, reproducing a
much abused social figure of speech,
impressed into all sorts of service on
all sorts Of inappropriate occasions,
without the faintest connection Of its
original source. | am truly shocked
TO find that any reader can make the
mistake.
81 have always striven in my writ
ings to express generation for the life
and lessons Of our Savior, because /
feel it; and because | rewrote that
history for my children-every one of
whom knew it from having it re-
peated to them long before they
could read, and almost as soon as they
could speak.
"But | have never made proclama-
ton Of this from the hOuSetOps."
Mr.. Makeham explained in the
London Daily News the circumstances
under which he wrote to Dickens
after the novelists death. The fig
ure Of speech OF which this gentle
man complained was drawn, he says,
from a passage Of the Holy Writ
which is greatly reverenced by a
large number Of his countrymen as Il
prophetic description OF the suffer
ings of our Savoir, and is to be found
in the tenth chapter of Edwin
Brood"
