lowed by a discussion between Aldermen
Rounds and Leighton in which Mr.
Leighton took the ground that it Is better
to get $40, 900 if possible, now. than to
rely on foliage which will be of uncertain
amount.
Mr.. Rounds said that the city had gone
into the Portland and Ogdensburg ven
ture and the gas company in the past.
The Ogdensburg enterprise was failure
but the city had just received a special
dividend of $40, 600 from the gas stock.
Mr. Rounds said that he didn't see why
the city should not have perpetual in
come from this road.
Finally on motion OF Alderman Moore
the order was referred to the committee
appointed to consider the order in rela-
ton to the Portland's track over the
bridge. The motion was passed by vote
of three to two, Aldermen Rounds and
Mcdonald voting no.
A meeting of both boards will be called
for Monday afternoon. The concurrent
business will be the action in relation 10
the sewer system for Fessenden park
which it is proposed to construct in CO.
operationswith the city of Deering. In
the opinion of the city solicitor such
action as is proposed ID not within the
province of the aldermen, requiring the
assent of the lower board.
The ordinance referred to above as
drafted at the request OF Alderman
Leighton provides that in future railways
receiving locations in the streets OF the
city shall pave the street from curb to
curb with granite blocks and maintain
the paving in such streets inside their
tracks and for space of eighteen inches
outside. They shall also make such
changes as are necessary in the way OF
alterations in consequence of the laying
of the tracks. In the event of failure OF
the roads to comply with the provisions
of the ordinance it is provided that the
work shall be done by the city at the ex-
pense of the roads. In the letter which
City Solicitor Morrill, sent to Mr..
Leighton with the ordinance, he said that
a hasty examination of the law lead him
to the conclusion that the weight of au-
thority was against the enforcement OF
such an ordinance without action by the
legislature comforting the necessary
powers
After the meeting, the committee on the
paving of Free street met the officers OF
the road and later voted to require the
road if tine track is laid to pave Free
street from the curb to point eighteen
inches outside the southerly rail. In
other words the road would be required
to pave the side of the street next to the
stores. The committee will not ask for
any paving on Oak street except that
usually one between the rails and eighteen
inches outside them. The proposition
will be considerably The directors of the
railroad company.

Jubal's Call,

The daughter of DIR. Edward Hodges,
the organist, says that her father had a
delightful way of calling all the children
musically. One Sunday morning, when
he was playing in st. Johns chapel, New
York, he said to her:
81 am going to call Jubal. Watch him. 4"
Jubal was sitting in his accustomed
place near the middle aisle. DIR. Hodges
voluntary began thoughtfully and smooth
ly, but in the course of it significant
phrase of two notes was twice repeated.
1t was distinct and yet so truly part of
the Improvisation that no stranger would
have noticed it at all.
The first time .Jubals attention was ar
rested; the second, he turned and looked
up, but saw no sign At the third call he
deliberately took up his hat, left the pew,
walked straight up to his father and said {;

Eyes, 3" said DR.. Hodges. "Go home and
get my gold snuifbOx."
The errand was speedily executed, for the
house stood near. Jubal handed the snuff
box to his father and returned to his seat.
