CounciI Proceedings,

Council held another session Monday night,
all being present excepting the Solicitor and
Mr.. Merits Considerable discussion ensued
upon convening relative to allowing the Marshal
a salary. After some further talk, SI.oo per
month was thought to be about the correct hg-
ure, but no definite action was taken, and the
Marshal is therefore still rocked in the cradle OF
doubt and despair. The pay roll was passed,
as usual, and the reports of the Fire Chief and
Waterworks Secretary read and approved. 1t
was stated that there was no bursted or crippled
hose in the fire department, and that no new
hose had been purchased for five years. The
water report for June showed total of receipts
and May balance of SI622 80, with SI453 40
disbursements, leaving SIo8 SO present balance
on hand. correction was also made in the
March report, showing net gain to the city OF
SI8 90 over the former report. On inquiry, ii
was ascertained that nothing had been done as
yet by the committee recently appointed to au-
dit the Waterworks books. A motion was made
and carried to pay the City Band 5000 in con-
sideration of weekly concerts, $1,000 more tc
be paid later on. The Street Commissioner was
authorized to rent an additional building of w
D. Durham, in which to keep tools. Steps were
taken TO either license the Opera House o.
compel each troupe to pay license. Ther'
was some talk of passing an ordinance requiring
new sidewalks to be made of stone. Adjourned
| to July aoth.

The excursion trains on the different road

A G. Kent, the genial proprietor Offered
on this day unusual attractions. The Atwate
Band had been engaged, and played nearly al
day. The dancing pavilion was open both IL
the afternoon and evening, and large crowd
danced to the music of Wallace & Poe's famous
Singing Orchestra, of Cleveland
The dance in the evening was success IN
every particular, and over three hundred tickets
were sold. Promptly at nine the orchestra struck
up, and the grand march began. Itwas led by
MIR. Rough, of Cleveland, and Miss Kent
daughter of the proprietor.
During the evening crowds of people sat on
the veranda surrounding the dancing hall, and
watched beautiful display OF fireworks, con-
sisting of a grand medley of pin wheels, sky
rockets, Roman candles, ETC., which, being re-
fected in the water, were exceedingly beautiful.
But the dance and fireworks were not the on
ly attractions. The merry go-round and steam
er we've running till after eleven and were
crowded each time. The crowd did not fail to
patronize the switch-back, shooting gallery, and
pony track; and the lower half of the pavilion
was crowded all day with people eating ice
cream, drinking pop. ginger ale, soda wa'er.&c
During the day several games of base ball
took place. Two picked mines. one from Ra-
VIENNA and the other from Kent, played an in
teresting game, resulting in victory for the
latter by the score of 18 to IL.

THE MEMPHIS BRIDGE OPENED.

MEMPHIS. Tenn, May I2-At noon to-
day, with impressive ceremonies, the great
steel bridge across the Mississippi river at
this point was formally declared opened
for traffic. The crowd of visitors which
thronged the city and congregated about
the great bridge to witness the ceremo-
nies numbered 10000. The city never be-
fore presented such gala appearance.
The decorations were elaborate, and the
star-spangled banner foated from every
cornice and window Of downtown build
ings. The day was made a municipal holi-
day. The man-of-war Concord, gaylY be-
decked with the stars and stripes aud the
union jack from stem to stern, was an
chored near the bridge. The river craft
also were handsomely decorated. The
weather was delightful. The festivities
of the day began with an imposing street
pageant. In the procession were visiting
and city militia, who escorted the dlstin-
guished guests of the day, the fire depart
lnent and 100 floats. The whole was liberally
interspersed with bands of music. After
traversing the business streets of the city
the procession proceeded to the bridge, ar
irving shortly before O'Clock. George
w. Morrison of Chicago. chief engineer of
the great structure, began the ceremonies
by mOtioning to an engineer seated within
an engine, and in moment procession
of eighteen locomotives, amid cheering,
Senator VOORHEES, of Indiana delivered the
address of the day.
The bridge was built by the Kansas City,
Memphis and Birmingham railroad com
pany. which will at once commence using
it. The bridge is loceted on the exact
spot where Ferdinand De Soto crossed the
Mississippi in 1541. In excavating for the
shore pier on the Tennessee side some
Spanish halberds, supposed to have been
used by De Soto, were found.
Tonight two magnificent pageants
brought the days glories to close. At
o'clock a parade of Memphis cyclists,
with the wheels artistically decorated, pre-
ceded the prominent feature of the even
ing-a procession of allegorical floats and
trades displays. The floats represented
early life and scenes in the Mississippi val
ley. The crowd, if anything, exceeded that
of the morning, and was variously esti-
mated at from 10000 to 5000 people. 1t
was late hour before the cheering multi
tudes finally dispersed, and the greatest
day in the history of Memphis was over. A
splendid display of fireworks was held on
the levee. followed at 10 o'clock by a ban
Quet with 500 covers at the Gayoso hotel.

PLATT'S SCHEMES,

NEW YORK, May IA Washington
dispatch states that Mr.. Platt's conference
last Saturday night was not at Mr.. Quay s
house, but at Senator CamerOn's- and that
those gentlemen were the only ones pres
est. Platt is said to have started out with
the statement that he was unalierably
against Harrison. Mr.. Blaine was his
first choice, but the statement was made
in the conference on the authority OF a
close personal friend of Mr.. Blaine that
before the meeting of the Minneapolis con-
vention a letter would be penned by him
supplemental to the one which he wrote
Mr.. Clarkson in the winter. and which
would make it absolutely useless for his
friends to make candidate of him.
After the matter WAS fully talked over
it was decided to send an agent to Ohio,
not to have Foraker promise to nominate
Sherman in the convention as has been
stated, but to see whether he and his
friends would agree to give Sherman the
honor and loyal support. Mr.. Platt was
particularly friendly to Sherman, and
when Senator Hiscock's statement that he
should vote for the presidents renomina-
tion was quoted to him, Mr.. Platt remark
ed that Hiscock's support amounted to
very little at any rate, and that perhaps it
would be well for the New York senator
to go little slow.

A STREET CAR BLOWN UP.

BUDA PEsTH, May IA great sensa-
tion was caused today by an explosion
that occurred in Andrassy street, one OF
the fashionable thoroughfares. Not the
least doubt is entertained that the explo-
sion was the work of Anarchists, and it is
taken as an indication that the organiza-
tion is about to resume its outrages. As
one Of the electric cars was moving along
there was sudden jar, followed by a
terrific roar. The shock was great and
the people in the car, which was crowded
to its fullest capacity, were terribly fright
ened. Investigation showed that the ex-
plosion was caused by dynamite cartridge
that had been placed in such manner
that the flange of the wheel would strike
and explode it. A search showed seven
other cartridges placed along side the rails,
but they had in some manner became dis
placed, so that the car wheels could not
touch them. 1t was by this fortunate ac-
cident that a terrible disaster was avoided
and many lives saved. All the passengers
were more or less injured, but none of
their injuries are fatal.

THE INMAN STEAMERS.

NEW YORK, May 12.-Although the act
OF congress admitting the lnn1an line

law, it will be some months before the
blue ensign of the British Royal naval re-
serve which those vessels now fly will be

to perform the conditions imposed by the

vice president of the international Naviga-

at least one of the new boats will be even
larger than the City of Paris to compete
with the new White Star and Cunard
ships. Captain Arthur ". Lewis, of the
City of New York. which arrived from
Liverpool yesterday, was asked if he
would continue in command of the ship.
He said he would if the company wanted
him to. He knew that his retention
would necessitate n change of citizenship,
but that would be no obstacle, and he
thought other officers of the vessel would
be willing to remain on the same condi-
tion. 1t was of Captain Lewis the st ory

Star Spangled Banner" to be sung at
concert on board his vessel This story
WAS denied, however, and explained on
the score of their being no music for the
song on board and nobody who seemed to
be able to sing it.

ROSWELL p Fl OVER

New YORK, May 12-Daniel G. Griffin,
Watertown On. Y. } lawyer, is "A neighbor
of Governor Flower. He made the speech
nominating him, and was placed in the
Democratic committee as the governors
representative. Yesterday afternoon Mr..
Griffin had long conference with Grover
Cleveland in the ex-president's office in
the Mills building. 1t was said that this
conference was arranged by Mr.. Flower
to learn how Mr.. Cleveland felt toward
him as a candidate in case Mr. Cleveland
could not get the nomination himself. Mr..
Flowers friends are arguing that as both
the Cleveland and Hill factions came to.
getber last fall to elect him governor they
could be induced to do so again to nomi-
nate him for president. 1t could not be
learned from Mr.. Griffin whether or not
the meeting between him and the ex-presi-
dent resulted satisfactorily,
