DIDN'T CONFIRM HIM.
The City Council Postpones Action
on the Mayors Nomination
OF COL. TWEEDDALE FOR ENGINEER.

An Enors to save the Trees On Tyler
street.
The city council met last night in reg
ular monthly session, but the meeting
was short All the members seemed to
have the weight of the coming election
on their minds and they were anxious to
get away and after the routine business
was disposed Of an adjournment was
taken
The mayor presented the name Of Will
liam Tweeddale for confirmation az city
engineer.
Councilman Fellows said: "It seems to
me that we could get along without
city engineer for a time. Mr.. McCabe
can look after the work done on the
sewer and bridge and that will be all the
work for the engineer to do during the
winter. That will prove quite saving
70 the city and we should practice what
we preach now that we have the oppOr-
tunity."
The Mayor-@It is a very doubtful
question whether we can do any business
without a city engineer 1 do not think
that estimates could be made by any other
person"
Councilman Fellows-"It seems to me
Dir. McCabe could serve"
The Mayor-'sBut he is not the city en-
gineer."
Councilman Fellows-'Well. we could
make him city engineer for the time"
Councilman Stevens-"Why can't the
deputy server"
The Mayor=tfWe have no deputy. The
city attorney 10 not here, and the ques-
ton cannot be submitted to him"
Councilman Stephenson-'I move the
matter 60 over"
The confirmation was then postponed
by a unanimous vote.
The changing of the grade and cutting
down Of the parks on Tyler street has
not yet been settled, and ID. IL Moore
presented the following statement in ref
erence to the matter
''In the spring Of 1867 laid out park,
built park fence and planted trees in
front of lots Nos 1853. 165 and 167 on
Tyler street. After the trees had become
large, and during the time Joel
HuntOon was city engineer the street was
cut down to grade and at the same time
my park was lowered, which took out
all the trees. Again I went to the ex-
pense Of planting trees and few years
later laid in the given grade brick side

ThE TOWN.


Gods country for the souls that are at rest!
Bright Moons a-drowsing 'er It's slumbrous
leas;
Even's fair herald in boundless vest
The day dawn flush, the night calm mys-
teries
But ali! when spirit-winds blow chill when
care
Broods on our fortunes with a surly frown,
When loss, negation, scorn are ours to bear,
Give me the town!
Yonder the lark sings DER the light-kissed
Early; at even, through some quiet vale,
First love owns, half with pleasure half with
pain,
The passion music Of the nightingale.
But here mems voices, through exchange and
mart
Mems footsteps ringing blithely up and down,
Warm human strength, close beating heart to
heart,
In the wide town!
Ye who would find balm in solitude,
And peace where foot Of man doth rarely
tread,
Oblivions home IS with the multitude,
Surely with vs. who labor for our bread
Nay, not for bread alone: purer strife,
deeper, nobler struggle for renown,
Wealth honor, fame. oil that is best in life,
Thrills through the town!
Joy should be monarch Of green Wales ana
bowers,
With hands 40 white as lily-buds in spring
Ruling her court mid bird-notes, brooks and
flowers
But here strong life demands q lusty king.
Throned on PHILOSOPHERS, the wisest dream,
Mans will his scepter woman's love his
crown,
Red-handed toll, with energy supreme,
Rules the great town!

But, though Mr.. Padget had not
been seen on Dancing Branch for, as
some expressed it, "a month of Sum
days." his absence was more than re-
placed to the captains mind by an
agent of the great Drydapper. By the
time the latter had finished explain
ing and persuading, Capt. Twitchell
had agreed to give up his big barn
down in the Branch bottom for the
purpose of furthering the professors
cloud-compelling operations.
mind you, though" stipulated the
prudent captain, ''if the rain don't
come, that Teller has got to pay me for
the use of my barn"
Late one afternoon the great Dry
dapper arrived with negro, a mule, a
covered wagon tightly closed and q
tremendous air of mystery and impor>
lance. He drove straight to the big
barn in the bottom and instructed his
darby to close the doors. Shortly he
came out and took sage survey of the
heavens, with the air of a Solomon
who held the clerk of the weather con-
tinually at his beck and call. He was
small of stature, yet of great-not to
say terrible-dignity. In fact, his dig
nifty was SO overpowering that Capt.
Twitchell completely neglected to let
the professor know of his intentions
regarding the rent.
His professional preparations were
to be made in secret down at the big
barn that night. All that he could be
got to say was:
"By morning, look out for signs of
rain. You had all better go to bed;
but if You will hang round that barn
it might be safer to bring your UNI
brellas. There is no knowing what
may happen-see?"
And he withdrew, magnificent in his
impenetrability. But, when relieved
of the oppressiveness Of the professors
cism asserted itself for moment.
II half-believe he is large-sized
humbug," said he.
But later on, when they told him
that half the population of Dancing
Branch was squatting, sitting and
standing around his barn, curiosity
got the better of prudence.
"Old woman" he said, 'you keep an
eye on Nisby here, and I'll just run
down there and see what that fool is
up to, anyhow"
So the captain disappeared, but did
not return. Mrs. Twitchell, feeling
likewise the itch of an unsatisfed de.
sire. finally grew ungovernably rest.
less.
Dear suzzv' she complained. "What
can be a-keepin' the captain so? In
generally, he never stays out later than
eight o'clock. Put on your bonnet and
shawl, Nisby, and we'll jest step down
there and fetch your paw back"
The girl obeyed and the two hurried
toward the bottom On the way Nisby
complained that her head was hurting
her worse. She had invented prudent
headache previ ously. She was allowed
to return on condition of her going i'm
mediately to bed. Sundry blue and
red flashes through the cracks in the
barn completely conquered the old
lady. She determined to witness Dry.

dapper's combat with nature if she
sat up all night.
This she did; while, unconscious of
the vicinity of his wife, the captain
watched and nodded at a little distance
amid the crowd. The hours passed
! slowly, yet the people remained.
The professor had forbidden lights,
or fires, as being inimical to his sue
cess. The captain and his wife stayed
on, however, risking rheumatism, and
whetting their tempers with delay.
When morning at last peeped over
the eastern hills upon this sleepy and
| peevish audience, there was neither
any sign of rain in the sky nor life in
side the barn.
II said he was "a humbug,'' exclaimed
the captain, as he wrathfully burst
open the barn doors.
The crowd poured in, to find only
the mule and wagon. Inside the last
were some empty boxes. But there
was no Drydapper and likewise no
| negro.
II believe that's Bras Newman's
mule and wagin," said one man from
over about Three Forks.
BRAS is own cousin to John Henry"
thought the captain, growing suspi-
cious at once. Hello, old woman!'' he
added, noticing his wife at last
where's Nisby?'
But the old lady was making double
quick tracks for the house. The cap
tain followed. A couple met them
smilingly at the door. It was Sophon-
isba and John Henry.
"What be you a-doin' here?'' de-
manded the captain of the young man.

Twitchell, but she was too overcome
to say more just then.
''Swindled ont'n rain and daughter,

neighbors behind him began to grin
and chuckle.

did finally arrive he brought yerita-
