A Night in a Tower.

Young lovers should heed this
warning: A certain young couple
Of this city are in a position to re-
late an interesting experience Of a
night in the postoff1ce tower. They
went up in the afternoon, but the
precious moments sped by too
rapidly for them to realize the time
they had spent in the place.
AS night came on and the glare
of the electric light Illuminated
the lonely place the couple deemed
it time to take their departure. On
leaving, and arriving at the foot OF
the stairs leading up to the tower,
they found that they were impris-
oned and had to camp there all
night. The janitor performed his
duty and locked the door Of the
tower unawares Of anyone being
within.

Officer Lilly's Investigation.

Acting Mayor Elmendorf, and
the police committee, consisting Of
Alderman Smith, Joe Beckmann
and Limburger met at the council
chamber yesterday afternoon at
3: 80 o'clock for the propose Of in
vestigating the charges preferred
against Policeman William Lilly,
by Captain w. D. Druse on No
vember 10, when Lilly was sus-
pended for drunkenness. The state
ments of a number of witness
ses were taken, and at
$3.50 o'clock the investiga-
tion closed. The police committee
with the acting mayor, then dis
cussed all testimony and about fif-
teen minutes later, made their re-
port, recommending the dismissal
of Officer Lilly for the police force.
Officer Lilly's testimony was
rich. When questioned by Marshal
Druse regarding his not carrying a
pistol while on duty, he said that
he had left it at his home; that he
had frequently done so while on
day duty, and that as there is moth
ing mentioned in the city charter
requiring the carrying of a pistol,
he did not think he was compelled
to do so.
