Took a Large Drink.

Shortly after the fire last night Officers
Henderson and Lyles found a young
white man in the extreme western part
of the city, who was completely knocked
out by swallowing pint of whisky at
one drink. He was as helpless as rag
man and the officers were compelled tO
devise means by which he could be trans
ported to the station house, as they were
averse to carrying him. A wheelbarrow
with but one handle was procured, and
the helpless individual, having been
placed in it, one officer held up the
crippled side of the barrow while the
other utilized the handle. Later they
pressed a push cart into service and
finally reached the station house with
their passenger. The dismembered in
dividual revived about daybreak and
was brought before the mayor later when
he was fined So.

Accident at Transfer Slip.

Six gondola and box cars were rul,
into the river at the Baltimore ana
Ohio transfer slip, foot Of Wilkes street.
about twelve O'Clock last night; Ah-
other car was lett partly on the sip ana
nartlv in the dock. The accident was
raused bv the turning of the wrong
switch about half a square from the
east end of the tunnel. The track to
the slip and those running north and
south on Union street are controlled
from that point, and last night long
string of cars was being backed from
the depot with the intention of running
them south On Union street on the track
recently built west of the shiPyard.
BY wrong turn of the switch at the
Y the cars took an easterly course to
the transfer slip and the locomotive
being in the tunnel the engineer could
not see the signal and kept backing. The
barge was not in the slip at the time
and before the engine emerged from the
tunnel and the train could be stopped
the six cars at the end of the train had
been piled into the dock and a seventh
placed lin seasaw position. The cars
were run on the north tract of the slip,
and it was partially demolished. Or
course there can be no transfers until
the dock is cleared. The members OF
the train crew when they saw the cars
were going overheard jumped and es-
caped injury.

Collision Averted.

Considerable excitement was occasion
ed on north Henry street about five
O'Clock yesterday afternoon by the mar
row escape of two passenger trains which
were running toward each other on the
same track. One was a nOrthbound
CLeapeake and Ohio train and the other
the southbound Manassas branch train.
They were about half square apart
when brought to a standstill near the
intersection of Henry and OronOco streets.
The Southern train was subsequently
backed to st. Asaph Junction, where 1t
took the siding and allowed the Chesa-
peake and Ohio train to proceed to
Washington. The error is said to have
been due to a confusion Of orders. The
incident attracted large number of peo-
pie to the scene.

His Last Hone Realized.

From the Sentinel, Gebo, MontJ
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper
vas among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his travelling
about and afterwards his camping upon
his claim, he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the severe
heat, gave him very severe diarrhoea
which it seemed almost impossible to
check, and along in June the case be-
came so bad he expected to die. One
day one of his neighbors brought him
one small bottle of Chamberlain Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last
hope. A big dose was given him while
he was rolling about on the ground in
great agony, and in few minutes the
dose was repeated. The good effect Of
the medicine was soon noticed and with
in an hour the patient was taking hi;
first sound sleep for fortnight. That
one little bottle worked a complete cure,
and he cannot help but feel grateful.

Citv Licenses.

Twenty years ago, the year ending
Nav 81. 1888, the collections from what
is termed Mayors licenses amounted to
s6.9OS for the year ending on Saturday
last the collections deposited amounted to
s12.346. This only represents anatural
or gradual increase for the reason that
additions have been made to the license
law and increase in cost from time to
time. During the three years ending
Nav 81. 1889 which will be termed the
late Mavor Shoots, the yearly collections
averaged $7,3OS; ex-MayOr DOwnham.
s7.575; Strauss, 80, 1856; Thompson,
$ll. 500 and Mayor Simpson, Sll 255.
The city laws wisely provide that the
CITY licenses shall be collected by the
Mayor. and allow him the assistance of
the police force. That this should
prove a good collecting agency goes
without saying, as the fine for doing
business without a license can be impos-
ed. Those in position to know state
that the city has sustained no
losses as each Mayor has collected
practically every dollar of every
license for which he received the small
compensation of p per centum for col
lecting. 1t may not be known, indeed
it is not known, by many that the
Mavor receives a salary amounting to
only 1918 per annum for much and
responsible work. Every day at the
Police Court Sundays excepted, and
on that day his privacy trenched upon;
on all other days at his office or at his
place of business answering any number
OF questions and listening to score of
complaints, he finds his lot not always a
happy one. The position is most hon
orable and responsible one, and while
those who have filled the Mayors chair
have had to battle for it, yet it in no
way impaired their usefulness, and the
city is to be congratulated that it has
ALWAYS found within its walls men will

critical may find fault but the thanks
of community are due to these men

Another Fire.

About half-past ten o'clock last night
stable belonging to Wash Jackson,
colored, on Peyton street, near King,
was discovered to be burning and an
alarm of fire was sounded. In a few
moments the western heavens wereillumi-
mated by the blaze. The fremen soon
subdued the flames, not, however, before
the stable had been partially destroyed.
A number of stables have been-burned OF
partially burned recently, and in nearly
every case it is believed there were evil
dences of incendiarism. The fire last
night is thought to have had similar
origin. Theperpetrator of these crimes,
like Jack the Ripper. seems hard to catch.

The Market.

There was seemingly an abundant
supply of country produce in market
this morning, but prices showed a stiff
fleming tendency in some instances they
had advanced. There was no apparent
reason for this and sellers had no ex-
plantations to advance. Butter was in
statu quo. while eggs had moved to an
upper notch, being held at zoe. There
was an abundance of green stuff, but it,
too, had moved upward. Strawberries
were still plentiful, but they were hrmer'
Some sold at 4c per box, while choice
varieties brought higher prices. Meats
and fish were still at high-water figures
