The Salary Bill.

When the salary bill came before the
Council Councilman Chute moved that it
be taken up section by section and the
motion was carried. Concerning the sal
airy of the city clerk, Mr.. Chute made the
statement that the office is worth $4,000
annually by perquisItes and moved that
the salary be reduced to 5000.
Councilman Melaugh moved an amend
ment making The salary $4,000 and no per-
quisites. AT this time a joint session
was announced by the clerk and Council
man Kehoe moved that the order be laid
on the table for the time being. Mr.. Ke-
hoe subsequently called up the bill and
moved its passage.
Councilman Chute again objected.
Councilman Melaugh moved the bill be
laid on the table again but the motion
was lost.
The bill then received passage.
Mr.. E. C. Jordan appeared before the
| Joint convention and spoke in behalf of
an order which would combine the offices
of street commissioner and city civil
engineer
Councilman Chute then moved that
| the joint convention proceed to the
election of a gas agent.
| Alderman MCGOWAN objected on the
| grounds that it was not in order and
called for the ruling of the, chair on the
| subject.
The chair ruled that the motion was
| not in order that the call for the joint
| convention called for the election of
specified officers and gas agent was not
| included.
| This ruling was backed up by the rec
ords of the alderman read by the clerk.
Councilman Chapman then nominated
| John D. Pagan as assistant assessor for
| Ward and he was unanimously elected.
| Later an order came sfrom the upper
| board to the council appointing Alder
man Guptil gas agent. Councilman Pen
| nell called for iointconvention for the
purpose of electing said officer but when
| the clerk of the council went to request
| for the convention he found that the
| aldermen had adjourned and so reported.
Councilman Pencil then withdrew his
motion and Councilman Kehoe moved
the order be laidson the table and it was
so voted.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Gorman's Minstrels.

Seldom is more enjoyable entertain
ment of its kind witnessed than that pre-
sented by Germans Minstrels. Minstrelsy
of high order has many local admirers,
and their presence at the performance in
Providence was in sufficient numbers to
occupy every seat in the theatre. The
strength of the combination is in the
novelty and merit of the specialties pre-
sented, the high class of the numbers and
the tuneful voices of the singers. The
company will be seen at Portland theatre
tonight.
The Police Patrol.
A few years since Chicago millionaire
was found dead in the hallway of his
residence on Washington Boulevard, hav-
ing been murdered, it was presumed, by
burglars. For weeks the police were at
sea, when finally the crime was traced to
the door of W. B. Tascott. A reward of
$4,000 was at once offered for his arrest
and conviction. Tascott, however, eluded
the police and his whereabouts is still
mystery. There was something singular
about the case that suggested to Scott
Marble foundation for a play. The
piece will be seen next Friday and Satur-
day at Portland theatre.
Patience and Mikado
Good seats for Patience and Mikado
can be obtained if they are called for
soon, but the sale is steadily increasing
and those who delay purchasing tickets
are liable to be disappointed. The re-
hearsals are proving more than satisfac-
tory and some very notable performances
may be looked for Over 1000 opera chairs
from Boston will be placed in the hall.
OF course these are the best seats and
bring the highest prices.

Stabbed BY a Fish.

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat
"Stabbed by a fish, may be the verdict
brought in by the coroner within a few
days if John Rowes, a patient at the city
hospital, does not recover from very bad
case of blood poisoning. His right leg is
swollen to three times its normal size
from the fish stab, and the physicians
fear that he will not recover. The limb
has become black throughout almost it's
entire length. and it is doubtful now that
even amputation will not save Rowes' life.
Il was fishing up. on the Sangamon

string of fish, and among them was big
20-pound cat. l had him at the end of a
rope and was wading along the bank look
ing for my nets. Somehow or other the
water reused the big fish and he began to

sharp horns deep into my knee.

An Operation for Bullet in the Eye.
Frnm the London Daily News

Our Paris correspondent describes a
clever operation by the eminent French
surgeon, DR.. Pean. A little girl Al years
old was playing on the 18th of July last,
near her father while he was cleaning a
loaded pistol. The frearm went off, and
a ball, striking the child close to the eye.
lodged in the skull. She fell senseless to
the floor. The eye was thought to be de-
stroyed. For some days subsequently
she suffered from fever and pain around
the eye.
At the Trousseau hospital, where she
was taken in September to be treated for
Jacksonian epilepsy, and with the side
opposite to the wound quite paralyzed, she
was at last thought to be dead. AS she
was being carried to the deadhouse the
attendant noticed signs of life. On the
oath of September she was examined by
DR.. Ballet, who diagnosed lesion in the
frontal and parietal regions.
Two days later DIR. Pean came to see
her He decided to trepan the child. In
operating he opened a deposit of pus
which weighed nearly one-half pound.
When it was all cleared out and the ball
removed, the place was washed with an
antiseptic liquid, the bone replaced, and
the flesh sewed up over it. Next day the
child was bright and gay. In few days
She was quite well, and it is now found
that no injury whatever was done to the
eye, which has recovered the normal
visual power.

SUPREME JUSTICE.
Judge Webb of Grand Rapids the
Popular Candidate.

We have every reason to believe
from present indications through
out the state that Judge Webb will
be elected April 4th to succeed JUS
tice Lyons on the supreme bench.
We hope, after election, that it
may not be said that there was
any voter in the twin cities or
vicinity who could not consistently
vote for him for that office. 1t is
not personal matter but one Of
local pride that we should give
him our unanimous support Not
only to make him feel that we all
believe him entitled to this promo
ton, but to convince the outside
world that those who know him
best appreciate him most. His
qualifications are unquestioned and
his reputation is above reproach.
A good citizen, a near neighbor
and true friend, who has lived
his life among us is entitled to our
warmest support, Let us see to it
that he gets it. Be sure and vote
for Charles M. Webb.

Judge Webb is an old citizen
and resident of northern Wisconsin
ard is thoroughly familiar with
the numerous legal questions
which are peculiar to that part of
the state He was a loyal and
patriotic soldier in the War of the
Rebellion. He has risen by his
own efforts from the position of an
humble practitioner, and has occu-
pied with ability the successive
offices of District Attorney of his
own county, State Senator, United
States District Attorney for the
Western District of Wisconsin,
and Circuit Judge. The last-named
position he has held for nearly ten
years, and his record of decisions
affirmed by the Supreme court is
unsurpassed.
