News Notes Proceedings OF the City
Council.
REDLANDs, Oct. 28.-The morning
opened dark and stormy; pattering
rain continued for two hours. The sky
has gradually cleared until the broken
clouds have left bright sunshine this
afternoon. The duet is effectually laid,
and the air is much more balmy than at
any time this season. The temperature
has risen.
DIR. ]. M. Wheat, the health officer,
has, after repeated cautions, been
obliged to resort to extreme me asures
with the Chinese laundries. The city
ordinance specifically provides for the
waste from such places, and the provis-
ions have been widely advertised. Three
Cinnamon have been arrested on the
DOCTORS complaint, and Judge Camp
will try the cases tomorrow morning, in
the recorders court. The authorities
are determined to enforce the law. The
Mongolians have retained Willis, Cole
& Craig of San Bernardino to defend
them, and Frank @. Prescott has been
employed as special counsel for the
authorities.
The trustees were out in full force at
their last meeting. H. G. Malone pre-
sented petition to be appointed super
intendent of storm-water bitches, which
was placed on file. Deeds from the Red
lands and Alessandro improvement COM
pany, Oswald Taylor and j. B. Kimball
were received and ordered recorded. A
proposition from J. B. Kimball to con-
tribute $75 in cssn, and 0. Taylor to
donate $25 worth of rock to continue the
rock work on the ditch from Mr.. Taylor's
place to Clifton avenue was accepted.
Bids for the construction Of the zanja
ditch east of Fifth street to Oriental
arroyo were opened. Frenzel & Suther-
lands bid for $4496 was accepted. The
street superintendent was instructed to
excavate the ditch through the Watrous
place, on Olive avenue, and construct a
temporary bridge. A long discussion
was had with the electric light people
as to lighting the city, but no arrange
ments were entered into. Storm water
bills amounting to 1852 81 were paid.
The board adjourned to tomorrow morn
ing at 10 O'Clock.

NEW YORK Oct. rs -Distillers was the over.
shadowing feature OF the stock market today.
After advancing 65 to 66 the stock declined TO

caused by reports of a new issue of stock to be
made to pay for the opposition disulleries at
the west, said to have been purchased by the
company. The general market opened firm,
and advanced Il to ~ per cent, Chicago Gas
being in the lead. At the close there was a
fractional rally, the market closing steady.

The Origin of "Dixie.''

When slavery existed in New York,
! one Dizzy owned large number Of slaves.
| he increase of the slaves and increase of
! the abolition sentiment caused All cmigra-
! ton of the slaves to more thorough and
! secure slave sections; and the negroes
/ who were thus sent off (manv being born
there naturally looked back to their old
homes, where they had lived in clover,
with feelings of regret. and they could
| not imagine any place like DiXy's, says a
corresp ondcnt of the New Orleans Delta.
Hence it became synonymous with an
ideal locality, combined case, comfort
and material happiness of every dcscrip-
tom In those days negro singing and
mlnstrcIsy were in their infancy, and any
subject that could be wrought into a bal
lad was eagerly picked up.
This was the case with "DiNie." 1t
originated in New York and assumed
the proportions of song there. In its
travels it has been enlarged. A ''choruso
has been added to it, and from an indis-
tlNct "chant' of two or three notes it
has become an elaborate melody But
the fact that it is not Southern song
''cannot be rubbed OUT
\ writer in the Charleston Courier,
under date of June II, 1861, says
"DiXic' is an old Northern nero air,
and the words referred to on" Dix or
DiXy, who had an estate ON Manhattan
Island. now New York city. General
Lon-Strccl gives this version of the
origin OF the song:
"NrJUng from memory, one cannot
claim to stand closely by the records,
h"Hc" | can uUiy give r"c"Il"ctions Of the
matter, Ii originated with the Southern

BY General LnngStrcct's account, the
man DiNy is certainly placed in a very
