A Novel Mound-Bnilders S,ruc,ur,


Prof. +. w. Putnam described. at
the meeting of the American Assoeia-
ton, curiOos earthwork at Fosters
Station, in the Little Miami Valley.
The mound is in the angle of a creek
and the river 1t is a flat t-toppcd cir
cular hill, about half a mile round at
the rim, aud has been formed by the
river and creek washing away drift
material on either side. Around the
brow of this hill is, at some parts, a
ridge. at others no elevation above the
surface. The ridge is made up Of
well-burned clay, and includes masses
of burned limestone, clinkcrs, charrcd
logs, bushels in bulk 1t is more than
half mile long, from twenty to fifty
feet wide, and from eight 10 ten feet
deep. To have burned all this clay
must have required a heat like that of
q Bessemer furnace The rim of
burned stuff is backed by an escarp-
ment of well-laid stone wall to keep
the burned material in place, which
probably once extended clear dawn TO
the water; but tile creek has worn its
way down and to a considerable dis
tancc from the wall No bones and
only a few pieces of pottery were
found. The fires could not have been
those Of charcoaI-pits, and the place
was not limekiln. An immense mass
of fuel must have been collected to
burn this quantity of clay and stone.
When asked what he thought was the
character of the work, Prof. Putnam
said that he had not carried the excl-
vations far enough to formulate a
statement.-TPopular Science Month

City Council.

A regular meeting was held last night at which some interesting busi- ness was transacted.
 The opening of bids for the lease of the city water works developed but one, bidder and the lease was awarded to him at $l5 per month. The suc- cessful bidder was Nat Hawke and he was instructed to file his bond within five days.
 A communication was received from F. N. Wolcott asking to be reimburse ed for money paid as the bondsman of the city for costs in the Reilly appeal suit. The request was accompanied by receipt for the money from Jus tice Alvord in whose court James Reilly had secured Q judgment against him. On motion of Prindiville the contingent fund warrant drawn in favor of Judge Reilly for the $62 and which he had refused to accept was cancelled. The motion was then made by Prindiville that the bill of MT. Wolcott be not allowed, seconded by Fuss and on the motion being put brought scattering yeas but no nays. City attorney Staehle before the vote stated that Mir. Wolcott could collect the money by legal process and it would cost the city twice the amount before they got through with it. Coun- cilman Prinderville said that Wolcott should collect from M. G. Crowley and not the city and claimed that it was an individual suit which the city had nothing to do with. The latter theory was sustained by the council.
 The mayor stated that he had told MT. Vickers's agent to renew the policy of insurance on the city hall. MT. Prinderville claimed that the mayor had no right to do it. A WIT of words followed and the smoke lifted on 8 compromise whereby the policy was cancelled and the premium for week was allowed.A few bills were presented and referred to the finance committee.
 J. P. McAllister protested against q nuisance near his residence and the health officer was instructed to abate it. After congratulations had been passed between the members upon the era of economy inaugurated, the coun- Gil adjourned.

An Evident Necessity.

From the Wall Street News.
Every railroad man knows that en-
ergy has Tor long time been devoted
to devising some means by which
railroad traffic may be so averaged
that the weaker lines may be protect
ed and persuaded against cutting of
rates. This object can be accomplish
ed in q measure by the adjust
ment of differential rates, and this
is the policy that has hereto
tore been pursued, but all the west
ern railroads have been working
more and more toward the provision
of some different system, which will
preclude the necessity of interfering
with tariffs, and at the same time as
OF profits. Such an arrangement is
only possible by confirming the au
thority of railroad commissioners aD d
authorizing them to use unconsigned
traffic in such a way as to equalize
the business Of lines operating
in the same territory. There is
every prospect that this system will
be strong enough to prevent any
extra efforts to maintain rates that
have been agreed upon. The very
important feature in the calcula ZION
lie the stagnation of railroad building
and in the multiplication of railroad
lines. New complications have,
therefore, been few, and If there is
anything like q general co operation,
there is no reason why the traffic for
the coming fiscal year should not be
handled under conditions profitable
to the railroad companies and the
shippers.
