LAST NIGHTS ECLIPSE.
Began ut 10 O'Clock y. NJ. and Continued
Until 2.SA This Morning.

An eclipse under favorable weather
and sky is the delight of astronomers.
Last evenings sky was clear, calm and
starry and had developed into a typi-
cal September night, when at about
twelve minutes of 10 O'Clock a total
eclipse of the moon began. 1t was II
o'clock. however, before the penumbral
phase was observable.
For an hour and six minutes the
earth's shadow continued to move
across the moons disk, until six min
utes past II, when the eclipse became
total. The moon remained Overshad-
owed until 1.47 a. M. then the shadow
began to vanish until 2.54 a. m, when
nothing but very slight penumbra
remained.
This is the second eclipse OF the moon
this year, the other occurring on March
10. but on account of dense clouds the
view was obscured. There will also
be three solar eclipses during the pres
ent year, all of which will be invisible
to US.
Two lunar and three solar eclipses Is
therefore the total for '95. In 1877 the
same number and kind of ecllpses oc-
Cured, but eleven days earlier In the
year. They were, however. invisible
to the inhabitants Of America.

pOncd in Committee.
The viaduct ordinance was quietly
plgeon-hoded by the streets and bridges
committee last night. The committee
seemed to view the project as one nj
the possibilities Of the future. but not
of the near future. In view Of this and
the fact that the city engineers office Is
overburdened with work 1t was decided
to relieve the engineer of the task OF
planning for this work.
Among the measures approved by the
committee We're ordinances providing
for grading Fillmore avenue; for merg-
ing the viaduct appropriation and the
balance from the fund for the purchase
of approaches to Swetland street bridge
and transferring the bulk amount to
the fund for completing the approaches
to both bridges; for widening sidewalks
and narrowing roadway on Wyoming
avenue between Marion and i.arch
streets: for improving Robinson street;
establishing grade on Hampton street,
from Main avenue to the Delaware,

viding for repairing cutters In the Sixth

impossible act. Usually, when man
goes to Jail, unless he has been i'm
prisoned innocently, he has one con-

a Hungarian, Is an old well. Boots
knew the well was there. and he got
possessed of the idea that the we'll
ought to be abated There Is a wind
lass and large bucket still on the well.
He would let the bucket to the bot

twist the windlass to hoist the bukket
violently In hopes that 1t would strike
against the sides and cause a cavein.
In other words he was trying to pull the
well up.
Banko had him arrested for malicious
mischief on a warrant issued by Squire
