sHELLY's SKULL FRACTURED.

Grand Glaize, May 30.---Spe- cial to Independent. ---One of the saddest accidents to visit this community for many years oc- cured Saturday about 7:3O p. m. when Allie Shelly was thrown from his horse about one-half mile south of the lower ferry, re- ceiving a fracture of the skull just above the left ear. He has been unconscious for the past forty eight hours.
 He was a favorite with our people and generous to fault, being always ready to lend a helping hand. Like many young men, the influence of companions led him astray and caused him to imbibe too freely that demon rum, which has caused injuries that may bring an early grave. Drs. Henry Owen and w. M. Thomson have the case in charge and every thing in the power of medical skill will be done for his relief. He has been
 removed to the Cook Hotel at Newport.

Board of Health Makes Vigorous Report Which Council Adopts Council Employs Dep
 |uty Marshal.

At a meeting of the council Monday evening an ordinance presented by Alderman Thomp- son changing the fire limits of the city was given final reading and passed.
 Tie board of health presented ay0igorous report on the sanitary Conditions, which was adopted by a unanimous vote, the council urging that it's provisions be car ried out to the letter.
 & The report states that the gen. eral Sanitary condition of pri- vate property was very satisfac- tory; recommends the removal of plank walks in the alley back of Front street, which interfere with the scavenger's work; the filling of holes in the alleys to the rear of Hobgood & Robinson's stable, Kelley's commissary and at the junction of Ash street, that allow standing water.
 The jail vault is recommended for attention as being in an un- sanitary condition and the filth of the house-boats on the river is regarded as a menace to the health of that section and a source of danger to the city in that it might contaminate the water supply.
 The bond of Night Watchman Geo. L. Robinson was approved and the marshal was instructed to employ and select deputy for the month of June at $50 per month.
 A resolution by Alderman Brasch was adopted, authorizing the pavement of Front street from Beech to Main by the prop erty owners thereon. A resolu- tion by Alderman Thompson authorizing the street and alley committee to put East Front street condition to receive the pavement was also adopted.
 The current accounts were all lowed with the exception of two from R. |. Robinson for street work.
 The council adjourned over till Wednesday evening to meet the Front street pavement commit tee of property owners.

yes indeek, those that are not sawmillinE, farming, steamboat ing or fishing, are whiting up that historic bench in front of Sweet Potato Bob's" place of business, and from present ob- seryations we would presume that a new one will have tobe 1 furnished in the very near tu- ture. That's right, boys, don't be idle if you can find employ ment.
 Can you tell us what has be- come of Rattle Box, You May Know Who and many other In dependent correspondents? No, don't believe we can answer thls question, but we had about de- cided that they had appeared before the public till they had gained fame and were now rest ing in peace on their laurels; this we do not know, however, but merely surmised it. But truly we would like very much to hear from them again. Now pony up with your excuses, friends.
 Since we have answered all the questions that have come before us to the best of our ability, we will now state a few things we have heard.
 The steamer Welcome came in Monday with a car of lumber for points in the north.
 J. M. Gibson was in Newport attending to business Monday.
 Elmo Riddell was in the me- tropolis of Jackson county Mon- day.
 The local freight brought in about twenty cars Monday for the boats to load; must expect great business from the river.
 Tom Lash was in our city Mon- day. We heard he was after the fnny tribe, but learned later that he failed to land single one. He fished in the lake in- stead of the river, so that ac- counts for his failure.
 The Taylor & Gibson factory is running, turning out finished wagon stock.
 As we have about exhausted our supply of information I will draw out, hoping to see all the Newport young folks and their friends as we'll as those from surrounding towns at the ball Friday night, June 3.
