Accident,

NJ. P. Bergstrom, young man
residing at Orion, met with serious
accident in attempting to board a
c., b. 4 Q. train, just above the
Twentieth street crossing last eve
ming. He had been visiting relatives
here. and when returning home. in
stead of going to the depot. intended
to catch the train at Twentieth
street, where, in catching hold of
the rear coach he was thrown
on the track, cutting a severe cash
in his head and fracturing his right
cheek bone. He was taken to DIR.
Kinyon's Office by Officer Etzel and
his injuries cared for, the removal
of a portion OF the cheek bone being
necessary. He was afterward con-
veyed to the home of his aunt. Mrs.
Robbins. on Thirty-ninth street. be-
tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth
avenues, in the city ambulance.

A PARTY PROTEST.
Some of the Coming Mayors
, Apprentices Not Popular.
Is CHARGED WITH 1NGRATITUDE.

Influential Elements Ignored and the I'm.
deserving to be Recognized. Say Those
who Have Been Virtually Turned Down
Tho Impending Discord.
For one who was elevated bv 30
comfortable a majority, Mayor Knox
is going into Office attended by as
great Glamour of discomfort and as
much of manifestation of discord
IS has ever characterized the Undue
ton into Office of a new city execu-
tive. This is the opinion gathered
from the expressions of leading re-
publicans. and particularly from the
influential element, or 1.-the push.
so to speak. The first great blunder
the new mayor made was in the call
ing of the aldermanic conference at
his house. While his intentions
were of the best no doubt. his aim
being to promote harmony and
please all, by mutual interchange
and cooperation, the effect was as
directly contrary as it could be. The
republican aldermen, instead of APP
preciating the mayors friendliness
Of spirit toward them, took advant-
age of his courtesy and upset things
as he had planned they should be,
and the outcome is that while the
sldermen have dictated to an extent
that they had no neral or municipal
authority to, the mayor laid himself
open to the criticism and censure OF
his own party. and the accusation
of seeking to shirk the responsibility
OF his nominations.
Dissatisfaction At the Choice.
The slate agreed upon. which has
teen given in The ARGUS, does not
meet with the approval of the ma
jority of republicans. The disagree
ment between the mayor and the
alderman as to the waterworks su-
perintendent and first engineer, and
the determination of the mayor to
abide by his original decision and
have Wilcher for superintendent and
Reddig for first engineer lis one of the
unpleasant incidents of the policy of
the incoming administration. The
probable course of the mayor as to
other appointments. published ex-
clusively in THE ARGUS. has likewise
aroused much feeling and many pro-
tests are heard. The plan to give
Phil Miller the best beat in the city
as the compromise with the influence
which has sought to have him recog-
nized, which is due, according to re-
publicans who pretend to know the
why's and wherefores of things, to
the argument which, to say the least
is not at all complimentary to Chief
Etzel, that it will be advantageous
tn the administration to to have q
man Of Miller's experience on deck
" hom the chief himself may lean
uE on and have his advice and coun-
sci. Etzel himself is said to have
favored this plan. and if carried out,
of course, Etzel will be the merely
nominal marshal, with Phil as
the confidential advisor and prac-
| teal head.
This is one source of discord-but
there; are others, which are response
BILE for the charge of disregard on
the part of MIR. Knox of the influ-
ences that made him mayor.

Pussy and the Fly Paper.

The trouble that may arise from the
use of "tanglefoot" fly paper is not con-
fined entirely to flies, as was shown in
Portland, Conn, the other day. A
Swede family, living on Penfield hill,
purchased literally Of the paper and
spread it about the house. Shortly
afterward a great connection was heard
In the pantry. Investigation showed
that kitten had become mixed up with
sheet of the paper, and in its efforts
to get away had stepped ON another.
Crockery was knocked from the shelves
and other small articles broken by the
confused feline. Finally the cat rolled
over ON the paper, which made matters
worse, and for awhile it looked as if
the house would have to be given en-
tirely to the pet. 1t was found neces-
sary at last to shear the unfortunate cat
IN order to extricate it from it's diff
