made similar requests and if one was
granted the other would have to be

laying stone or cement walks would

afford to build a new walk than throw

Fifty Water Meters.
The board of public works handed
in a requisition for fifty water meters
to cost 5000. The requisition was
granted without opposition.
City Engineer Thompson said
that great saving would be made by
the use of the meters; that last Satur-
day and Sunday consumers
wasted so much water that the city
pumps were unable to supply the de-
mand. The engine at the knitting
mills was now used to get an adequate
supply. The city pumps have been
running to their fullest capacity, but
in the face of this the reservoir fell off
$50, 900 gallons in twenty-four hours
from Monday to Tuesday morning.
No action was taken on the claim
of Jos. Schlingerman for damages to
his land caused by overflow of water
in 1899.
The bill of Mrs. August Neible for
$50 for the care of a diphtheria pa
tient was referred to the city attorney,
with instructions that he confer with
the county attorney in an endeavor to
determine whether the city or county
are liable for the payment of the
claim. The bill is for one months care
of Maggie Lamm, diphtheria patient
who was dependent upon charity for
subsistence.
After allowing large grist of bills
the council adjourned.

1t is said that the Duke and Duchess
of York will not visit New York next
fall when in Canada. The reason given
is, that they are afraid that Mayor
Van Wyck and his associates in the
city administration, who are intensely
anti-British, might seize the oppor-
tunity to make political capital by
showing discourtesy to the royal re-
representatives.. 1t hardly seems prob
able that they would do anything of
that kind, but it shows the representa-
ton Tammany has abroad and to what
lengths representatives of it will go
for the sake of political capital.

While the jury in the coroner's in
quest into the cause of the death of
the late John. Widell, decided it was a
case of murder, no new light was shed
upon the mystery which surrounds the
case. 1t is probably one of those cases
which will never be cleared up. Still
if foul play was at the bottom of his
death, the detectives may stumble up
on the truth some day when least ex-
pected. Darker and more mysterious
cases than that have been successfully
unraveled.

BADLY BURNED.
Four Year Old Boys ClO,hing Catches
Fire,

The four-year- boy of Richard
Sippel was quite badly burned at two
O'Clock Wednesday at the Standard
brewery, by getting too close to the
candle used in inspecting kegs. Mr.
Sippel is the head brewer and his little
boy had accompanied him to the build
ing. The flame from the candle ignited
the youngsters clothing and he ran
out of the building enveloped with
fire.
Tony Bienapf, driver of the brewery
wagon, saw the lad running out and,
taking off his apron, he wrapped it
around the boy and smothered the
flames. DR.. E D. Steel was called.
The burns are mostly around the alb
domen and hands.

1t is said that the wool men will
oppose tariff revision if it involves the
reduction of the duty on wool They
seem to be willing that the other fell
lows should be revised, but not them
selves. The wool duty is said to be
entirely satisfactory to the interests
involved. We do not understand that
in revision of the tariff the duty on
every article is to be tinkered with.
That is the Democratic theory, but is
not Republicanism. Republican doc
trine is to adjust the duty according to
the need of the article, consequently,
in REIMBURSEMENT by the Republicans
the wool duty if perfectly satisfactory
to those interested, would not neces
sarily have to be tinkered with.
