Overcharging for Meat.


If the American people had a little OF
their old spirit they would rebel at the in
crease in prices of meat on the bills of fare
in some of our hotels and dining rooms
Most of the increase has been made by
proprietors of the more pretentious places,
where large prices We're already charged
and not by the landlords whose margin
of profit was already small An increase
of or cents a pound in the cost OF
beef does not justify a caterer in charging
10 cents more for half pound of it. II
Is better to stay ones appetite with eggs
and Holsters than pay the overcharge. And
1t is not to be thought upon that a further
increase will be made for vegetables be-
cause, while an eXtravagant price for meat
will make vegetable food more popular
there is no trust in potatoes and corn. and
there Is abundance of them. The situa-
ton is not so grave that famine impends
and 1t does not justify the additions that
are threatened to an already profitable scale
of prices.

Cooper that he bought the entire
dray line Of the defendant Carol
and that Carroll agreed to refrain
from doing q like business in the
city thereafter. The claim Of the
defendent is that he sold the plain
tiff only that pert of the dray line
known as the Tom Smith dray line
which was sold by Smith to Willard
Franklin and afterwards dy Franklin
to Ed Carol. Judge Niece, after
hearing the atfidavits for and
against the maintenance of the
injunction, concluded to modify it
by allowing the defendant to do
such team work within the city as
he had done ptior to the time of the
purchase of the dray line from
Franklin. The case will be heard
on its merits at the next term OF the
Circuit Court.

better fire protection for the extreme
western end of the city by running
a new water main from the corner
of columbus and Tenth Streets
down TO the corner of Tenth and
Quincy Streets and to establish a
fire hydrant at that corner. This
will be quite an improvement as
there is at presant but one FIRE plug
at that end of the city and that is
situated at the corners Of Boulevard
and columbus Streets
1t may also be interesting &c
know that Messers HALEY and
Thomas Sweeney have arranged to
buy q lot on which to build a hose
house for the Tom Sweeney Hose co.
This offer has been accepted by the
council. In addition to this the
