The Council Committee on Police
held a very interesting meeting last
night. An informal discussion arose
during the meeting concerning the
work house, and Mayor Sweeney ex-
pressed himself very forcibly in favor
of a discrimination Of the present
farce. He thought a new work house
should be built, and If not, the pris-
oners should be confined elsewhere;
but in either event, he favored prompt
action.
The discussion led to a new sug-
gestion relative to the site and con-
struction of new building. The pro-
posed location is the old reservoir on
the hill back of the work house, which
has been virtually abandoned by the
city. The point was made, in favor
of this project, that the cement bottom
of the reservoir would remove the ne
cessity for excavating, and lessen the
expense
There is also a large quantity OF cut
stone which could be used in the
superstructure The Mayor, Chief
Clemans and others have looked into
the matter, and are of the opinion that
suitable structure 250 by go feet could
be built without very great expense.
The guards at the workhouse who
are receiving $40 per month, made
request that the committee recon-
mend an increase in their salary.
Police bills Amounting to $2O4.41 and
prison bills of s1S4.44 were passed up
on favorably.
Chief of Police W. M. Clemans sub
mitted his monthly report, showing
a total of las arrests, of which II paid
fines, A were imprisoned, and "a sus-
pended. The white males were u, col
ored males 6, and white females e..
Of the $1,4S0.70 assessed in fines,
$S16.O5 was paid.
The report for the work house
showed SO prisoners during the month;
sentences expired 26; released by
Mayor and Chief 10; in prison Febru-
airy LIST, %; days worked on Chapline
street extension Z; meals served 1870
The report for the year ending Janu-
airy 31st, showed 53S prisoners of
whom escaped, and were recaptur-
ed; meals served 26,620.
The city work house cost the city
$4,000 last year.

RIVER NEWS.

The conditions on the river remained
the same yesterday except for the
fact that the river has fallen con-
siderably during the past twenty-four
hours. From some unknown reason
the ice is very much lighter and there
are not such heavy fields. Rivermen
do not fear a gorge up at or near this
point unless the weather turns de-
cidedly colder. A gorge was reported
having formed at the Parkersburg
railroad bridge.
