COMMON COUNCIL.

During the four-hour midnight Sos
sion Of the council, only two matters Of
interest We're considered. Report of the
committee on finance relative to ambul-
ance service which was laid or the
table at the last meeting was taken
therefrom on motion Of Councilman
George C. Hunt, and finally referred to
the committee on police with trstruc-
lions to report at the next meeting.
The committee from the mayor,
transmitting a communication from
the city solicitor and Col. w. 5. Is.
Hopkins, of the counsel for the city in
the Kettle brook water cases, came
down from the upper board, accompa-
MED by two orders providing for the
appropriation of 100000, but as orders
for the appropriation of money require
a vote of two-thirds of the members,
and as hardly a quorum was present,
no action could be taken
At the suggestion of President White,
the council adjourned to this evening
at s o'clock.
A resolution was adopted authorizing
the city solicitor to take the necessary
legal steps to prevent the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad
from erecting abutments for bridge
over Hammond street, encroachinS on
the street at that point.
An order was adopted providing for
the purchase of land at the corner OF

INSANITY AMONG THE INDIANS.

A full-blooded Indian lunatic never
lived, according to United States Com
missioner William A. Jones of the de-
partment of Indian affairs The state
ment was surprising. inasmuch as the
commissioner had just finished INSPECT
ing the site recently purchased by the
government near Canton. l. T.. for an
Indian insane asylum. BIr. Jones said:
The occupants Of the hospital soon
to be opened win all be mixed breeds
Even among them the number Of ma
tents is small in proportion to the In
dian population of 256000. The exact
number ! do not know. Probably there
never was q case of insanity in any
tribe until the malady was intro
duced 10y mixing with the whites. Odd
y enough, diseases of all kinds are Gre
ating the greatest havoc among the
best-cared-for and richest tribes. Those
who have to rustic for themselves are
gradually increasing in numbers.
Among the Osag=s, in Oklahoma. for
example, the death rate is something
startling. The nation comprises 16 000
Indians and has $4,000. 900 to its credit
drawing interest, in the United States
treasury. Inc reds live in nothing short
OF luxury. but early in life the braves

NO BENEFIT FOR FITz.

NO BENEFIT FOR FITz.

New York, June 12.-James ]. Jeffries,
the Californian who last Friday night
wrested the title of champion heavy
weight pugilist of the world from Bob
Fitzsimmons, again appeared in the
Coney Island Club arena tonight, and
spared three rounds with Jim DAILY, who
was one of his sparring partners while
the new champion was preparing for his
big fight. The go was friendly one, and
it consisted of three rounds of two min
utes' duration each.
The new king of the ring" was greeted
with tumultuous applause as soon as he
appeared in the ring, and without any I'M
due exertion he showed the vast crowd
he could play all around his adversary.
At the close of the bout there were fire.
quent demands for a speech from the
champion, and after some minutes de-
lay, during which the champion got over
his stage fright, he said: Il thank you
one and all for your kind reception, and
l assure you | will do my best to hold
the Championship against all corners"
Jeffries will spar tomorrow night az
make a tour of the New England states.
He will referee a base ball game at Mert-
den. Conn. on Wednesday, and take part
in sparring bout at Hartford, Conn. A
base ball game will be umpired by him
at New London on Thursday afternoon,
and he will spar for the benefit of Provi-
dence, R. l., sports that evening. On Fri
day FitZsimmpns' conqueror will appear
at the Grand Opera house, Boston. and
the following day the umpiring of a ball
game al New Haven will wind up the
Californian's weeks work.
Besides the appearance of the champion

the program tonight. Eddie Lenny of
Philadelphia and Jack Mcdonald of New
York were matched for ten rounds at
catch weights, and the Philadelphian out
pointed his opponent in every round re-
ceiving the verdict of the referee at the
end.
Andy Walsh of Brooklyn and Jimmy
Handler of Newark were the principals
in the concluding bout, which was an
nounced as a Is round go at $50 pounds.
At the end of the 18th round the referee
declared 1t draws.
Manager Brady for Jeffries and Man
ager Julian for FitAsimmons met tonight
and discussed the advlsability of giving
benefit for Pitzshmmons at the Coney
Island Athletic club next Sunday night.
Al the conclusion Of the conference, Mar
tin Julian stated that no benefit would
be given. Fit2simnons is not in need of
money; he wets in need of money before
the fight with Jeffries which netted him
handsome sum, and he does not care
for a benefit. 1t is quite probable that
Fftzsimmons will within the next 10 DAYS
challenge Jeffries to meet him again in
the near futHre in another fight for
heavyweight championship.

BUYS A NEW HORSE.
MckinIeY Is ME Heightened Name Of Mr..
ThaYeK's Recent Purchase.

Webster 1shayer has purchased the
game little race horse Mckinley (2:231ll
for use on tie road. The purchase was
made by telephone last week, and the
horse was Immediately shipped to Wor-
cester. Nh Thayer tried him out over
the road yesterday, and is fully conf
dent that he has about the ideal gen
tleman's padster
Mckinley is a Maine product He
is by Correll dam by LOthair Jr. His
mark is RIO indication of his speed. for
he has proven his ability to step close
to 2:15. In the 80 races in which the
little horse has been started in the last
last two years he has never been shut
out and came UP this spring, as fit as
a fiddle f'br another campaign, for which
he was ia training when he passed into
Mr. Tha yers hands.
Mckinley stands ISL hands high and
weighs $50 pounds He is a deep bay
and has lots of style.
Mr.. Thayer, for many years has sat
behind a PAGER. Chauncey B.. as well
known to followers of the snowpath as
any horse on the avenue and about as
slick a PAGER as ever moved over the
route, was for years familiar figure
on the Worcester road. When Mr.
Thayer sold the clever fellow last fail
it was in favor of another side-gaifed
one, Eddie Curnan (2:21A), a horse NOT
unlike Chauncey 3. in style or goino
and action. Mr.. Thayer, therefore, will
scarcely be recognized on the road whom
he appears behind the new little hav
that knows nothing but the trot
Eddie Curnan (2:2lA) will run to mas
ture throughout the entire summer.

The orders looking to a final settle
ment were considered by the joint com
mittee, and on it's recommendation
were adopted by the board of alder
men, although the action came so late
that the common council failed of a
quorum, necessitating a special meet
ing of the lower board this evening.
The orders are:
That the city solicitor, under the d.
rection of the mayor, be empowered to
settle all the water cases pending
against the city substantially upon the
terms indicated in his communication
to the mayor of June 10, 1899, and that
he receive and accept on behalf of the
city all releases and instruments
which in his opinion may render such
settlement effectual, and that ne be
authorized to make such offers If and
agreement for judgments in said cases
and execute all other agreements
which he may deem for the best inter-
est of the city
Ordered: That the city treasurer be
authorized to borrow the sum or 500,
O0O and to issue therefor the notes,
bonds and certificates of Indebtedness
of the city, payable 30 years from June
l, 1899, and bearing interest at the rate
of 312 per cent, per annum, payable
semi
Ordered: That the city treasurer be
authorized to negotiate and sell said
notes. bonds and certificates of indebt-
edness upon such terms as the mayor
directs, and that the sum received. to
the amount of 100000 be appropriated
for the purpose mentioned.
Ordered: That there be established a
sinking fund for paying said indebted
ness at its maturity. as provided IN
chapter 20 of the public statutes.
Ordered: That $21, 900 be appropriat-
ed from sums of money received dur
ing the current year for the use of wa
ter, as a contribution to the sinking
fund established under this order.
The question of day labor on the
Grafton street school house, which
came back from the committee on pub
lie buildings. after recommitment with
the original recommendation inexpe-
dent to act, brought forth a warm ar
gument, but was finally disposed of by
being laid on the table by the board
of aldermen. The upper board accept
ed the report of the committee.
The common Council failed to concur
and the report came back to the board
of aldermen. Alderman Back moved
that the report be laid on the table. AL
derman O'Connell was on his feet in an
instant, and had been recognized by
the chair, when Alderman Vaughan
seconded the motion without rising
from his chair. Alderman O'Connell
claimed a point of order, which the
chair ruled well taken. He then moved
that the aldermen concur with the
common council The motion was lost
Alderman O'COnnell then made
a motion for a. committee of
conference, Which was lost
by a vote of 6 to 3.
Alderman Back then moved that the
report be laid on the table, which mo-
ton was carried.

precisely four years after the date of
the taking.

ders in proper form for adoption by the
city council, if our suggestions meet

THE CITY COUNCIL.
Board Votes to Ac-
cept Kettle Brook
Settlement.
DAY LABOR LAID ON TABLE.
Lively Tilt Between Presi-
dent Brannon and Al
derman O'Connell.
DAY LABOR LAID ON TABLE.

Last nights session of the city coun-
ell reminded some of the city fathers
of the present dry spell, from the
length of time consumed. It was 1920
this morning when the upper board ad
Journed.
The meeting opened in a lively man
ner, with a verbal set-to between
President Brannon and Alderman
O'Connell, and although the alderman
finally took his seat after being re-
Quested to do several times. accom-
panied by frequent strokes Of the gavel,
he was not willing to admit but that
4 he was right in taking the stand he
did.
1t came about this way. When the
communication from the solicitor on
the Kettle brook question was taken
up, Alderman Wall moved that the
matter be referred to the committee on
water. Alderman O'Connell rose and
addressed the chair and was recogn-
lied. Just then Alderman Barrett sec
b onded the motion without addressing
the chair, and Alderman O'Connell
g continued with his remarks until
stopped by the chair, who said he
would state the motion before he
could listen.
Alderman O'Connen insisted that he
sHhould be heard, and raised a point of
morder, but was overruled by the presi-
dent, who raped for order, and, after
the chair and Alderman O'Connel had
exchanged compliments on qualifica-
tions of each other, stated the ques-
ton.
A substitute motion by Alderman
O'Connell to have the communication
from the city solicitor and the accom-
panying orders providing for the final
settlement Of the Kettle brook cases
were referred to joint committee con-
sisting Of the joint committees on
finance and streets, to sit during the
session.
The communication from the city
solicitor and Col. w. S. B. Hopkins, Of
the counsel, follows:
