The New Charter.

City Attorney II. r. Pollard has had
the matter of providing a model for a
new charter for the city referred to him
end it is expected that he will be at work
= ere long.
I..Ler the new Constitution all cities of
the same class in the State will have the
same kind of charter, or, in other words,
the Constitution makes it mandatory
upon the Legislature to provide char
ter for cities and towns of the same
class, Instead of special charters for each
incorporated place, as is the law now.
The Committee on Ordinances, Charter
and Reform, of which Mr.. G. K Pollock
is chairman, will have the matter in
hand. and it seems to be the desire of
the members of the committee to have the
model in hand as soon as practicable. so
tnat some time may be had before the
converting of the Legislature, SO that it
may be maturely considered by the COM
1nittee
Mr. Pollock stated recently that his
committee would endeavor to secure to
the city every advantage offered by the
new organic law of the State

City Council, requiring the Finance and
Water Committees to report a scheme for
securing clear water for the water takers
of the city, the joint committee will be
convened and the matter will be taken
up.
Under the terms of the resolution the
joint committee must inquire into the
matter and make their report to either
branch OF the Council within three months
from the date of the approval of the mea-
sure.
Owing to the fact that the last meet

heaviest held by that body for many
months, it will be some days before City
Clerk August will have the resolution en-
crossed and ready for the signature of
Mayor Taylor.

CROSSE is
HELD FOR
CUTTING.
Accused Of Making Assault
With Knife on James and
John Foster.

A double stabbing affray occurred at ~
Bourne street at o'clock last night.
James Foster lives at that place, ana
his brother John was calling on him
when two Italians came to the door ana
asked 10 see woman whom they said
was I'm the house.
Foster refused to admit them. and one
of the Italians drew a knife and cut him
repeatedly on the face and legs. John
Foster interfered and got an ugly cut In
the thigh The Italians then ran away.
The police heard of the assault and
sought to obtain definite details as well
as a clue TO the culprits.
The Fosters would not at first admit
them TO the house and we're not inclined
TO furnish any particulars.
Subsequently George Grossi was arrest.
ed by Sergts. Mcguire and Toole and held
for the cutting.
Grossi was arraigned before Judge
Sweetland today, accused of assaulting
both men with a knife. and upon his plea
of not guilty he was held in $500 for the
attack upon James and in 800 for that
upon John, and will have his trial on the
9th instant.
