Why Not do it.

Many people rightly regard
Market street as one of the impor-
tant thoroughfares of the city and
these cannot understand why there
is no sidewalk on the south side
of that street from Corcaron alley
to the Mill bridge, which, in rainy
weather, becomes regular quaz-
mire. The bulk of this proper
ty is in a dilapidated condition
and it is said that the inheritance
us disputed, but the Hermann's en-
joy the property and collect the
rents and have refused to build a
sidewalk.

Catchings Turned Down.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6-(House)
The committee on rules, presided
over by Speaker Crisp, was tn S
morning forced to publicly ac-
knowledge its defeat in the House
in its efforts to lead the Democrat
ic majority and secure an adoption
of its rules, making hun
dred members a quorum
in committee of the whole.
When the House resumed debate
on the rules, announcement was
made that the committee on rules
had resolved to abandon, in defer
ence to the objection of some. of
the prominent Democratic leaders,
the rule upon which debate
was pending when the House
adjourned on last Saturday,
making a hundred members a
quorum in the committee of the
whole. General Catchings in
making the announcement, said
that the committee yielded in def
erence to a strong opposition
on the Democratic side, but believed
that the proposed change was in
interest of the expedition of bust
ness. Gen. Catching's statement
precipitated a general debate of a
very lively and entertaining char
acter, participated in by the lead
ers of both sides.
