con this evening. They will be held in the
school buildings occupied last year and will be

Of applications already received and the gen.
ersl interest manifested it IL believed that the
schools will be well attended. Three evenings in
the week will be devoted to these schools, namely
Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings
The opportunity which II thus presented to
those who are prevented from attending school
during the day seems to be fully appreciated
large number whose early education has been
neglected avail themselves Of the night schools
to make up deficiencies. When it is considered
that at the night schools facilities are enjoyed
equal to those which have made the day schools
30 successful IL is not surprising that large
number enrol themselves in the list of
students. The system of night schools
has been 30 perfected that It now

He Wanted Rear

Charlie Hewlett, printer, who is employed
in down town job Office, went into Halls din
ing room on 7th street last evening and asked
for some beer. He was informed that liquid
refreshments were not dispensed there, but he
appeared to know more about the proprietor's
business than the latter did himself and the
result was that Mr.. Hall showed him to the side
walk. The printer did not intend to leave
there in that way and so he waited Q minute and
then threw bottle at Mr.. Hall. The missile
shattered glass behind the counter and another
missile thrown by the printer broke the front
window.
Judge Miller heard both sides of the case this
morning and fined the printer e26 or sixty
days.

THE PROPOSAL TO FLOAT NEW BONDS.

THE PROPOSAL TO FLOAT NEW BONDS.
The annual city book prepared by Auditor
Price is always interesting affording de-
tail Of municipal matters; but it is moro inter-
esting this year than ever before. Among Its
articles is one on the sinking fund, which shows
how the selling price of the city's 8 per cent
bonds has augmented under the operations of
the sinking fund from its first purchase at As
cents in 1874, and through the forties fifties
and sixties per hundred until its last purchase
was made a few months ago at 70 cents. The
sinking fluid has now over Sl0O, 900 Of city
stock. which 1t has purchased. Tomorrow night
the city council will decide what shall be done
with this stock now worth at the least 70 cents
on the dollar. It il said that If the citv's 8
per cent stock is worth 10 cents, its 6 per cent
bonds would be worth sl.A0, and that it can
easily put on the market 300 900 of per cent
bonds ut par. Some action of the legislature
may be required to authorize the issue Of the
new bonds for street and sewer improvement.
