NINETEEN AMENDMENTS.
They We're Made TO the Appropriation
Ordinance in Select Council
Last Night.

Select council last night in special
session ripped up the appropriation
ordinance in pretty bad shape, knock
ing out all but one of the amendments
which common council attached to it
and adding a few new ones. 1t will
now go back to common council and as
there is no probability of the lower
branch concurring in the selectmen's
action a conference committee will be
the result.
The one item which the upper branch
failed to kill has the 5000 appropria-
tion for carriage hire for the board of
associated charities. When the ordi-
nance had been read Mr.. Chttenden
began his attack on the measure by
moving to strike out this line. Messrs.
Schroeder and Robinson refused to
play with the Republicans in this par
ticular instance and the motion to
strike out the item was lost on a tie
vote.
Mr.. Chittenden then presented nine
teen amendments and they We're adopt
ed. At first the Democrats demanded
a roll call on each item but they got
tired of this in time and few of them
even took the trouble to say may"
when the vive Voce vote was being
polled.
The amendments were as follows:
Reducing the mayors clerks salary
from $1,000 to $500; increasing the
bridges and culverts appropriation
$l25; increasing the sewers and drains
appropriation $500; increasing the as
phalt repairs appropriation $3.50; ap-
propriatng 800 for a sewer basin on
the corner of Main avenue and Jack
son street; taking off $3.50 from the
Fourteenth ward street appropriation
and giving it to the Fifteenth ward;
reducing the appropriation for the Col
umbia's combination wagon from ST.
500 to $1,000; striking out the $1,000 ap-
| preparation for the Cumberland Hose
| company and giving it to the Nay
Augs; striking out the appropriation
for an assistant superintendent at
Nay Aug park; reducing the current
expenses" appropriation at Nay Aug
| park from $4,000 to $2,150; appropriate
ing money for a new electric light in
the Second ward and four in the Tenth
ward, These amendments virtually
leave the ordinance as it was when it
came from the joint estimates commit
| tee. 1t was passed on second reading.
Mr., Roche led in the opposition to
| the amendments and was seconded by
Mr. McCann. There was a big howl
when the Cumberland's $1,000 was
transferred to the Nay Augs and again
when the slice of the Fourteenth ward
| appropriation was given to the Fif-
| teenth ward, but the Republicans in
each instance explained away the inn
| putations of factional motives and
went ahead with their work.

MGRAIL TAKES POISON.
Common Councilman from the Twentieth
Drinks an Ounce and a Half
OF Laudauum.

There will be one vote less at the
Democratic" joint session of councils
tonight than the Mcdonald men hoped
for Commoner Thomas f. McGrail, of
the Twentieth ward, took a dose of
laudanum yesterday, and at the time
OF going to press he was in a condition
that prohibits his getting out for many
days, if he ever gets out.
McGrail is. unfortunately, addicted to
drink, and periodically goes on pro-
tracted sprees, which, on some occa-
sions, result in the unbalanclng of his
mind
For some time past he has been i'm
bibing heavily and during the past
few days has been in a state border
ing on physical and mental collapse.
Yesterday afternoon about 4.30 o'clock
it was noticed by his family that he
was acting unusually queer, and when
a two-ounce bottle Of laudanum, with
three quarters of the contents gone,
was found in his room, a messenger
was hastily dispatched for DR.. ]. j.
Walsh
Emetics, a stomach pump and other
remedies brought relief, and towards
nightfall he showed signs of rallying.
At II o'clock last night he was consid-
cred out of danger, but his physician
said it will be some time before he will
be able to be about.
The bottle containing the poison bore
the label of Lorenz e. Koempel. Dur
ing the morning McGrail made an eff
fort to secure two ounces Oh laudanum
at Humphreys drug store on Pittston
avenue, but was refused.

DULUTH, Oct. 25.-The lumber saw.
ing season Of 1897 is almost over in this

the lumbermen, and has shown great
improvement over the year 1896.
Many of the big mills at the head Of

will have finished by the time the bay

Musser-Sauntry company, which has
about 5000, 600 feet still in boom, and

CONTRACTS DECLARED VOID.

Trading in Grain Where No Delivery IL
Intended Is Gambling.
Dies MONIES, Ia, Oct. 25.-The Iowa
supreme court has rendered an impor.
tant decision affecting the legality of
contracts between grain spectators. In
the case Of Counselman & Co. VS..
Manuel Reichert, brought up from the
Cass county district court, the court
declared that contracts for grain
where the intention is merely a specu.
i-tion on the chances Of the rise or fall
OF the market and no delivery is in
tended are gambling contracts and void.
1t is MOI enough to render the contract
void that the buyer intends it as gam.
bling contract unless the seller partici-
pates in that intention. That is, that
If in the case at bar the defendant, in
ordering the purchase of oats, only in.
tended a speculation upon margins
without the delivery of grain, and the
plaintiff purchased the grain for actual
delivery, it would not be a gambling
contract. To make the contract void as
between these parties the intention to
make a gambling contract must be
mutual"
1t was held by the court that the suit
under discussion was one in which no
delivery was intended.

"Iell Them How to Improve

Correspondence and Negotiations
in the Matter Are Finally
Made Public.

LONDON, Oct. Accommodating edi.
torially on the International monetary

When the extent and significance OF
the American proposals come to be gen.
orally understood, we shall be surprised
if even the bimetallists venture or con.
tend hat they could have been accepted
as the basis Of any serious International
agree ment. Sir James Westland's dis.
patch is an admirably reasoned state
paper. AS the American proposals,
aside from the reopening OF the Indian
minis, it is difficult to understand how
that could be treated with gravity by
British statesmen. 1t is really anus.
ing-we do not like to use SO harsh a
word as impertinent-that some gen.
tlemen from the United States should
come here to tell US how to improve cur
methods Of currency and banking. The
counsels of the fox that lost his tail are
discounted by the common ems OF
mankind.

The Morning Post, The Daily Tele.

nature of Senator Wolcott's proposals.
The Daily Telegraph admits that it was

The Daily News says: Had the pro-
posals been known public opinion would
have killed them in a single day; but
