Scab Among Sheep.

Liverpool, Nov 1.-The sheep brought to this port by the steamer Scotsman, from Montreal, were slaughtered after being landed on account of the few cases of scab being found among them. Several cases of the disease have been found lately among sheep from the United States and Canada, and it is feared that if cases continue to be found the board of agriculture will adopt drastic measures against sheep from those countries. The agricultural press is beginning to comment on the matter.

SEVERAL MUNTCTP4L MEETINGS.
Short Sessions of Several Committees in
 City Hall Last Night.

Short Sessions Ot Several committees Tn
 City Hall Last Night.
 The committee on claims held spec ial executive session last evening. Af- ter a brief session the committee voted to give leave to withdraw to William E. Quirk, who petitioned for the abate- ment of a sewer assessment amounting to $500, on his property on Day street.
 John B. Ward who petitioned for damag caused by an overflow of water into the cellar of his property at 28 Oak street was also given leave to with draw his petition. It seems that in the spring of 1894 the committee on claims voted to give Ward $75 for damages from a similar course, and this amount he has never drawn. The amount was voted conditionally that Ward release the city from all liability in future
 David Ashmun of 266 George street all so petitioned for damages to his prop erty caused by an overflow of water in the street. The committee voted to recommend that the city put in a suit able trap at it's own expense and allow Ashmun $50 damages.
 COMMITTEE ON LAMPS.
 The committee on lamps were again unable to muster a quorum last eve ming and in consequence no business was transacted. The only members of the committee present were Aldermen Lam- bert and Kelly.
 CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.
 Alderman Connor and Councilmen Brown and Fullerton, who composed the special conference committee of the court of common council to take action on the location of lamp at the corner of State and Franklin street held a meeting in the city hall last evening and decided to recommend that the parties in interest be given a hearing on the matter. This decision is against the report of the committee which was accepted by the board of aldermen and rejected by the board of councilmen, hence the appointment of the commit tee on conference.
