the mules was at the rate OF three
miles minute. Passengers who
were in the car at the time claimed
that the old ark was moving along
at the usual rate and the driver said
that one OF the mules cantered and
the other trotted while going down
hill. Judge Wilcox look sad. He
said to the young driver that he
should work in the interest OF his
employer and that it was very wrong
for him to do anything that might
hurt the feelings Of the Tramways
Company. The learned Magistrate
reminded the driver OF the record
for slow mules aud dirty cars estab-
lished by the company, record
which the defendant ruthlessly had
tried to break by letting the mules
go fast. Ia this instance the driver
was allowed to go free but the mules
will go much slower in the future.

were also present Assemblymen Wade,
Mellick, Sanford. La Baree and Lard
ner Mead was absent, and it was
said that he claimed to have been ex-
cused before Dibble's motion prohibit
ing excuses was carried, and that Bur-
nett would take his place. Neither Bur-
nett nor Mead being present, the six
got along very well.
The Chairman first presented the
matter of the necessary clerk and
stenographer, and a discussion ensued
as to the price to be paid for steno-
graphic work. Cosper. suggested that
the choice of both attaches be left to
him. MelIick objected, but finally
yielded, and the Chairman was allowed
until the next meeting to provide the
necessary assistance and set prices as
per Instructions from the committed.
Mellfck then announced that he was
