Every country that has fallen to a sill

Mexico had comparatively little to lose
in the transition from a sound to an in

composed principally of women, children
and baby carriages. Most Of the houses
on the square displayed flags, and enc

run short of bunting. hung an Ornamental
bed spread out of the upper windows. AT
the east end, near the old school house. e.

such a frail piece Of work that one of
those whose duty it was to review the
march past, examined it very critically
and ascended it with many misgivings.
Twenty minutes before three O'clock

were:-Band of Hope, Newark avenue.

NO MISTAKE This Time
City Hall Commissioners Pro-
pose to Have Contractors
Understand the speeif-
cations.

From time to time 1.-THE News, has
chronicled the fact that the City Hall
Commissioners have been giving hearings
to bidders on the contracts fer furnish
ing the new City Hall Tie proceeding
was such an unusual one before the
awarding of a contract that 1t caused
comment. No one seemed to know Just
why such a cause was being pursued. The
reason is that the Commissioners do not
want to make an award until all the
bidders have publicly admitted that they
know just what the plans and specifica-
lions call for, and that they are prepared
to follow them out to the letter.
Tne experience the Commissioners nave
had about the various interpretations
OF other specifications prompted the ac-
ton. The Commissioners also want the
work done smoothly and in an agreeable
manner, and they believe by having an
understanding with the bidders first har-
mony Will prevail and a crop of lawsuits
De avoided. Another idea in granting the
hearings IS to find out the financial re-
sponsibility of the bidders, so that no
trouble will be encountered from that
source.
When estimates were called for, bid
uers We're given the privilege of bidding
on part of the work or the whole work
The St. Louis Art Metal Co. was the only
nidder for the whole work, its bid being
szo,o35: Inc hgure is a very low one, but
The bid Is accompanied with a bond of
The American Surety Company. The rep
resentative of the compan says he is pre-
pared to live up to the plans and speciica-
lions. There is one little hitch IN the
bid, and it is raised by a sub-contractor
who did not understand exactly the
work on the electric wiring outlets.
John Mullins, Of this !, city, bid s. 800 for
aiken with those of the Office Specially
Co. of SLATE, for the metallic fixtures,
which We're low, aggregate s30,575. or 3d.
ll6, in excess of the st. Louis company.
The Commissioners want the work done
as cheaply as possible, and at the same
time want the quality and Workmanship.
There will be a rigid investigation made
before the contracts are awarded. The
Commissioners are now under the law
governing the city which precludes any
save the lowest bidder. They AVE the
right to make the award to any company
they like on the ground thai their action
would be in the best interests Of the
city.

NEW EGYPT. June 5, 1S96.-By a run
away accident yesterday ex-Judge E.
P. Emson of Golfers Mills, sustained in
juries which may prove fatal. Mr.. EN-
son left home after dinner to drive to
one of his cranberry bogs, several miles
distant, using a very light road cart
built for track purposes. When about
two miles from his home his horse took
fright at a dog, which suddenly sprang
out from the roadside. In e~ndeavoring
to quiet the animal the seat gave way
with him, throwing him heavily to the
ground, from which he sustained a com
pound fracture of the ribs, one of which
penetrated the right lung. The unfcrtu-
nate man was removed to his home,
wher he now lies in a critical condition.
DR.. Pancoast of Philadelphia, as
sisted by DR.. Gauntt of Burlington, and
DR.. Woodward of this place, succeeded
in removing the broken bone from the
lung, and hope to be able to effect a cure.
