Commerce, we printed an article anent

SOME STRANGE SHOWERS
Visible Only to the Alooholizod
Vision Of Tipplers.
Tough Yarns spun by Seasoned Cali
fornians About Lizards aud other
small Deer Descending from
the Clouds.

Col Bixby, Judge Dukes and Maj
Finney came over from the Blrstow
diggngs one evening recently with
big story about storm few
evenings before on the Laramie plains
In which it rained lizards. They had
been over the divide TO the Waterman
ranch, and on returning were over
taken by a gnle, which presently
brought rain. For an hour or 20 II
poured In torrents, and then, just ~
dusk, they felt something solid strik-
ing them occasionally. At length the
colonel, who was sitting on the back
seat, says writer In the New York
Sun, reached down into the wagon box
and pulled out water dog" about
six inches long. This convinced tho
tourists that an extraordinary storm
was in progress, and TO some extent
prepared them for what followed.
Little by little" said tho Judge,
81 he bombardment increased, until liz
nrds and toads were thiclIer'n flies. We
turned up our coat collars and pulled
down our hats, but 10 did no good.
They'd strike us In the face. In the lap,
horses became wild with terror. We
lost our way, and the major got out TO
look at the ground, but Jumped back
into the wagon again with yell, say
ing II was knee deep with lizards. by
this time IL had stopped raining and Nye
came 20 the conclusion, otter mature
reflection. that the area OF the storm
could not be large, and that II we
moved straight ahead in almost any d.
rectlon we would soon be out OF IT,
Acting on this determination we start
cd up again, and In tho course of half
an hour we struck hard ground We
camped near there, and when daylight
came we went baclc ways and exam
ined the lizards. There wero millions
OF them, the great majority Of them
being dead aa the result Of their fall;
but there were plenty OF live ones, and
the way they were crawling was eau
ton"
Some one having asked what theory
they had 70 advance In explanation OF
this visitation, the major said that
there was a lake ON the summit OF the
mountain Off toward Banning that was
full OF lizards, aud he had no doubt
that the wind, which was very high,
had scooped out that body Of water
with oil It's contents aud dumped them
on the Laramie plains. He knew of n
similar case In Kansas. A tornado had
followed the line OF river and scoopcd
10 out so clean for a distance OF nine
teen miles that farmers living thirty
miles from the stream found fab, tur-
ties and frogs In their front dooryards,
and believed they had rnined down.
The colonel said he had brought fow
of the lizards In 20 show the folks, and
no would get them, but, after search
ing tho wagon box In vain, no was
forced 10 apologize by saying that they
had prob ably come to life and crawled
AWAY.

MIR. Burke said that the committee

MIR. Burke said that the committee
would never hereafter consent to the
laying down of any private sewer and
they could not grant such right to
the United States. Such sewer would
interfere with any public sewer here
after constructed on st. Asaph street.
After further discussion it was sug-
eested that the city and the United
States should act together in the matter.
Mr.. Vincent said that the executive
officer of the Treasury Department
wished to know what the Council
would do, so that if the right Of way
was refused he might take other meas
ures.
The Chair.-Then he will have to
take other measures.
The subject was referred to the com.
mittee on streets.
MIR. Vincent then said that the exc
cutive officer of the Treasury Depart
ment had determined to notify all the
tappers of the old sewer and cut them
oil.
A general wish that this course should
be pursued was expressed.
The chair asked whether the city tax
bills next year are to be based on the
increased State assessment, and offered
a resolution in reference TO this matter
which he asked should be referred to
the finance committee. He said he
was opposed to more taxation and to
more bonds. He was pleased to hear
that city property was increasing in
value, but did not want the assessments
raised on property which was worth no
more now than it was five years ago.
The State tax was comparatively a
small matter, but the city tax OF $1.90
would be burdensome if general in.
crease in assessment at this time was
made. He thought that the tax bills
should be based upon the city assess
ment and not on the high State assess
ment.
Mr.. Uhler said the State assessment
had been increased 100000, but he
thought the tax bills of the city would
be made out as last year, upon the city
valuation.
The resolution was referred.
No further business appearing the
board adjourned to meet on the 18th
Tuesday in January.
