TIE DEADLoc; in the Board OF AL

TIE DEADLocl. in the Board OF Al
dermep, after an existence OF about six
weeks. was broken last night, and Mr..
1T. Sweeney is now president of that
board. It was quickly accomplished
and ell are satisfied, and instead oil the
disorder of few days ago serenity and
good feeling prevails. All rejoice at
the termination OF the perplexing issue
which distracted the board and for q
time efiectually clogged the wheels OF
legislation, and the hope is expressed
that the members will vie with will
and make up for the time which mas
been lost. There is considerable
TO be done 10 the way OF
new business, while much mas
necessarily been deferred on account
of the late unfortunate conditions.
Let by-goues be by cones, and may
the same concillatory spirit manifested
last night mark the proceedings OF the
board 10 the future. For the past
week there seemed to be an impression
that last nights proceedings would end
the deadlock. Members OF both sides
to the tie-up exempll6ed more con-
ciliatory spirit. The dove of peace
seemed to be lowering near and there
was sort OF intuition that the mem
bsrs as well as the community were
weary OF the existing order OF things
The time had come when some method
of relieving the strain should be re-
sorted to, and the lot--as fair to
one side az the other-was finslly fixed
upon. The committees we're hfst ar
ranged to the satisfaction of both sides.
The modus opersndi is described in the
regular proceedings Of the board. The
lot resulted in the drawing of Mr..
Sweeney's name and those who had
heretofore opposed bin in the inter
ests Of Mr.. Bsllerger gave him the
hand OF fellowship, as we'll as theil
united votes. The proceedings which
followed were In the same spirit and
there is an earnest hope that those iu
the future will be marked by the same
liberality. There should be no friction
in city government, especially 10 tina
of struggling little city like Alexau
dria, where our interests are identical
The most sensible policy is for al Il
unite for the common good by rising su
psrior to the petty jealouCies incident t

each other with suspicion and looking
Only on the good qualities of those
with whom we are associated.

GENERAL KITCHENER, in his weekly
report OF operations in South Africa,
says that SO Beers were killed, 20
wounded, 6S5 made prisoners and SO
surrendered, besides large amount OF
ammunition and live stock taken;
General French Is reported driving the
band Of Beers 10 Cape Colony north
ward. And so the work OF crushing
the Beers goes slowly, but steadily, on.
There ls none among the world
powers" to raise hand in defeDcs OF
the brave little South African republics
as against EOsIand and the end must
bs drawing uesr. Liberty is as sweet
now as when Patrick Henry said "Glye
me liberty, or give me death !" but as
the whole people OF country must not
die, and "a discretion is sometimes the
better part of valor, 1t may probably
be best for the Beers to surrender as
did Gen. Lee st Appomsttox, being
forced to do 80 by superior numbers.
and thus avoid more dire consequences.

Yesterday afternoon word was receiv-
ed here of he result of the trial trip Of
the new Liberty, made Wednesday, and
the general verdict is that the boat is
all that could be desired by her builders,
owners and the inventor of the new
rotary engine, Mr.. Montgomery, of Bell
aire.
The trial trip was made from Middle
port, where the packet was built, to
Point Pleasant. fourteen mics. The
round trip, including a five minute stop.
consumed So minutes, and the boat was
not tested to her utmost speed capacity.
On the down trip the average speed was
thirty miles an hour, and up nearly as
strong.
On her maiden trip the Liberty drew
20 inches of water, but it is thought
tina. when she has her electrical plant
and other equipment that she will draw
n inch more. The boat will receive
her outfit and be wired here.
The Ironsides, owned ~ the river

Pittsburg, be placed upon the marine
way at Elizabeth and be rebuilt.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 18.-In-
temperance among Philadelphia women,
according to Joshua l.. Baily, has at
tanned more alarming proportions than
ever before.
Mr.. Bailey's declaration was made in
an address on THE Drinking Customs
of Civilized People," delivered last night
at the annual meeting of the temper
ance Association OF Friends of Philadel-
phia.
Mr.. Baily, who is the president of the
National Temperance Society, had been
referring to the drink habit among the
women of London, an eminent English
specialist having in the course of a pri-
vate interview informed him that in
temperance was epidemic among the
upper classes there.
And ever in staid old Philadelphia"
added Mr.. Baily, "intemperance among
women of fashion, | am assured by
friends in position to know, is more
observable than at any previous time,
1t was only recently that l was told
that it was considered as bad form in
society circles to abstain totally as to
drink freely"
Previous to Mr.. Baily's address the
association held a business meeting. A
report of the executive committee stat
ed that the committee had been hinder
ed in its work of distributing tracts by
Mayor Ashbridge and Director Eng
lish, who held that the tracts came I'M
der the terms of the ordinance pro-
hfoiting the public distribution of cir
culars.

Closing Argument for the De-
Tense.
FRANKFORT, KY, April 1S.-Judge
CantrilPs instructions to the jury in the
case Of Capt. Ripley, were practically
the same as those in the case of Caleb
Powers, and held that the defendant
must be found guilty of the charge of
conspiring with Taylor and others to
cause Goebel's death, as alleged, has
been proved to the satisfaction of the
jury, and that, if the jury believes
from the evidence, that the defendant
and others %conspired to commit an I'M
lawful act and that, in consequence of
Lat act, Goebel was murdered, he is
still guilty of murder, though the kill
ing of Goebel might not have been the
original object of the unlawful conspir-
acy.

argument as counsel for the defense.
