CITY HALL NOTES.
The Tablet Matter-Patroln,a Lamson's
Successor.

successor.
The board of aldermen Tuesday night
conculred with the common council in
the order, introduced by Councilman
Hall, requesting the city hall commits
sion to change the tablet. There was
some discussion of the matter; but as
long as the matter was only request
it went through with little opposition.
The order will not come before the
mayor for his signature. 1t is under
stood that the commission is loath to
make the change, and have suggested
that a supplementary tablet be put on
The feeling in many quarters is against
the tablet, owing to its inaccuracy and
the omission of the mayors name.
Mayor Dodge has done nothing about
the appointment Of patroIman to sue
ceed Patrolman Lamson. He says that
the charter provides that the police
force shall consist of officers and as
many men as the city council shall de-
termine. At present no number has
been fixed on An order to that effect
was introduced at the last meeting of
the city government, and the number
named was III. This in an increase of
over the present force, counting Lam
says it has been the custom of the
mayor to appoint in case Of a vacancy,
but he thinks the method of procedure
illegal until the number is fixed. He
will wait until something is done with
the order before acting.
Alderman Barrett wants to know why
the city doesn't get its telephones for
the contract price of $40 year agreed
upon in 1883. He has found that all
sorts of prices are paid, and he thinks
that, before privileges are granted as
requested. he wants to come to some
conclusion. He finds all sorts of PRICES
are being paid, and among them are the
following: Armory, $46; city clerk, $5S;
City Hospital, $S6; board of health. $58:
isolation hospital, $44; clerk of board of

London, March Truth today, as a
sequel to the request made that its edi-

American cemetery at Jerusalem by the
American Presbyterian board of for

The American missionaries and the

But the action of Lord Salisbury in
having the pit in the English cemetery
in which they were buried opened. in
order to recover the remains of an Eng

covery that all the bodies had been
broken UP and packed in small wooden
boxes, so that neither the body of the
officer nor any other body could be
identified. Both the sale of the GENE
terry and the removal of the corpses ap-
pear to have been carried out in an
