SATURDAY NIGHT MARKETS.
They Were Held Yesterday Evening in
Both Houses

The controversy regarding Saturday
night markets in the two market houses
reached the fighting point yesterday.
For two days advertisements have been
inserted in the daily papers for Satur-
day market in the Second ward. Two
or three butchers were behind the
movement. They construe the city or
dinance TO permit them to occupy their
market stalls at any time, and they ar
que therefore that they had right to
sell yesterday evening. The Second
ward market house presented much the
same appearance as on ordinary Sat
urdays. The few butchers who were
present were not rushed with custom
ers.
At the Centre market there was no
change noticeable The usual number
of stalls were occupied, and the usual
number Of patrons visited the place.
Merchants on the square denOunce the
opposition movement, and think the ac-
ton of the Council Committee on Mar
kets should have disposed Of the matter.
The end is not yet. 1t is understood
that the butchers are divided on the
subject. and further developments may
be awaited with interest.

Street, Yesterday Afternoon.
He was Siezed with Hemorrhage
from the Lungs While on His
Way Back from a Photograph
Gallery, and Died Before He
Gould be Taken from the Vehicle
in Which He was Seated.

overlook James y. Terrell, yesterday al

weak lungs. and of late his malady became
more severe, until he was unable TO follow
any occupation. For a time he lived IN

to have his picture taken. and yesterday
afternoon he was taken in the laundry
wagon to the Photographic establishment
owned by Mr.. Potter, near the Market
street bridge. His photograph was taken
all right and Mr.. Terrell got into the
wagon and the driver started back up
street. When just above the postofice
Mr.. Terrell was ts.ken with a fit of cough
ing which started a hemorrhage, and just
above the Mcclure House he would have

A NARROW ESCAPE.

a Serious ConfaGratIon Accidently Dis
covered and distinguished. Up Caidwelrs
Run.
A serious fire was barely averted Fri
day evening at Smiths dairy, about a
mile and a half up Caldwells run.
Harry Knoke was driving along the
road by the farm and noticed that q
fire had been started along the edge OF
the barn. The fire had likely been
caused by some person carelessiy throw
ing a lighted cigar in the bushes at the
side of the road. The bushes had been
set on fire and came in contact with the
barn. 1t was getting a good start when
discovered. Mr. Knoke could not see
anv person about, and set to work TO
nut out the blaze, assisted by a friend,
who was with him. The fire was ex-
tinguished after some difficulty. The
barn was large frame structure and
contained a number of horses and cat
tie. besides a great deal of grain and
feed.
