Chicago. who had gathered in mass con-
vention in order to protest against the ex-
tension of the franchise of Chicago S
street car lines for fifty years
Early in the meeting the speakers dwelt
mainly upon the question of compensation
for extension of street car grants, but be-
fore rs close the proposition of municipal
ownership was extensively touched on,
and received generous applause.
Franklin H. Head presided and the
sneakers were Mayor Harrison, former
Gov. John p Altgeld. George E. Cole, John
MAYNARD Harlan and Rev. Father Thomas
Hodnett.
Ex-Gov. Altgeld was first to advert to
the subject of municipal ownership and
his remarks aroused the greatest enthusi-
asm of the meeting. Referring to the al
legged use of money I'm the City Council,
Mr.. Altgeld said:
How can we stop this thing?"
'Hang them" Get rope" Hang the
boodlers," responded the audience.
The resolutions, which were prepared in

sentiment Of the meeting, and a resolu-
ton was included favoring municipal own

BIG WATER MAIN BURSTS.
Twenty Blocks in Brooklyn Flooded
and Foundations Shaken.


New York, Dec. r.-For several hours
an area of twenty blocks in Twenty-eighth
ward in Brooklyn was inundated by rag
ing waters, which washed out the foun-
dations of houses tore down trolley and
telegraph poles, imprisoned peop in their
houses, and nearly drowned some who
were caught by the flood. The damage
will reach many thousand dollars; the po-
lice think 100000.
The great water main at Hobart street
and Central avenue burst at 8 O'Clock this
morning. The main is four feet in diam
eter, and when the pressure became too
great the water shot up eight feet in the
air. For the first hour 100000 gallons
rushed through the streets and there was
little diminuton for three hours. The
flood came so suddenly that several per-
sons were caught, and three were rescued
by life lines. Every house in the twenty
. blocks was flooded and a number of them
SO badly damaged that they will fall if
they are not pulled down.

MANY COUNTERFEIT DOLLARS.
Wholesale Circulation OF Spurious

Coin Bearing the Date of 1880.
Memphis Tenn, Dec. ia smooth gang
of counterfeiters are at work in the Mis-
sssippi valley. The counterfeit is of
standard silver dollars. and all which have
so far been discovered bear date of 1880
1t is believed that something like 100000
of them have gained circulation. The
counterfeit is so art .sticaNy accomplished
that it would be difficult for any one who
happens TO get hold of one of them. even
by scruunizing it closely, to detect it.
Recently very large number of bright,
shiny dollars have been floating around,
and all of them bear the date of 1890. They
have the same ring, apparently the same
wesht, and certainly the same external
marks of the genuine article.
1t is believed among local railroad men
that the schemer is now TO all intents
and purposes within the clutches Of a fed
eral detective, and that it is only a ques-
ton of very few hours be-
fore he will be behind the bars AS the
story goes here, the counterfeit
er is in. or in the neighborhood
of Hollywood Miss, and that the federal
detective has gotten into his confidence
and is only waiting for the man with The
mint" TO hand him 200 coins so that he can
arrest him N the act.
