MOTHER AND CHILD BURNED.
The Former Very Slightly, but Child's
Recovery Doubtful.

Burr Pollard, colored, turned in an alarm
about 5:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon for
an exciting fire in his home, at 2420 Ontario
avenue. His wife was slightly burned
while trying to save her three-year-old
daughter. Dorothy.
Mrs. Pollard was preparing supper and
the little one was playing about the room,
when her clothing came in contact with the
stove, and a blaze resulted. Mrs. Pollard
grabbed her child and succeeded in extin-
gushing the blaze after the daughter had
been severely burned.
Assistant Chief Sullivan of the fire de-
partment had the child conveyed to the
Children's Hospital in his vehicle, and the
police took Mrs. Pollard to same hospital.
Her burns were only slight, but the child s
condition was regarded as critical. Late
this afternoon it was reported that recov-
cry of the little one was thought to be
doubtful.

THE PIoTTERs OF SIBERIA.
Even in Exile the Russian Revoiutlon-

From the London Times.
Siberia is not exempt from the spirit CT

escapes is increasing. HeipIui haids

tate the escape of political prisoners.
The jaiers themselves and the troops OF
police are sometimes purposely careless IN
the execution of their duties. That some
persons in authority sympathize with the
reyolutionists is further demonstrated py
the fact that recent circular, though
headed absolutely secret. has neVerthe-
entitled: instructions given to the gov
ernor of the province by his exceilency the
governor general of the town of lrkutsk
Count Koutay ssoff, in 1888. This docu-
rnent is worded as follows, and it gives a
picture of what this high official himself
thinks of the present situation.
According to the reports concerning the
surveillance of the political exiles who have
reached the place of their exile and VINO
are there submitted to public control re-
mark that their frequent escapes and the
unauthorized journeys they make, going
even beyond Siberia, are due to the lack of
proper watchfuiness. The authorities con-
tent themselves with sending official re-

the number of fasteners needed.
United States Attorney Beach objected to
the forms being admitted in evidence, and
during the course of the argument that fol-
lowed said:
I'VE lay no stress on the penmanship. We
do lay stress on the fact that as the result

with his signature unconsciously initiated

STEP HERE
Case to Fnish-The People Who Do Things
Stand by the Action Of the Council

At, the meeting Of the city council
Monday evening the question Of con-
tinuing the Pelican Point bridge liti-
cation came up for discussion. This
is the case in which one feature was
recently decided adversely to the city
by the supreme court, and the pre-
sumption generally was that the de-
cision was fatal to the city's conten-
tion. This, however, is not neces-
sarily true. Application was made
fer temporary injunction restraining
the city from paying certain monies
for the construction of the Pelican
Point bridge on the ground that it
was an improvement outside the cor
porate limits Ct the city, and thar
city money could not be used for that
purpose. The temporary injunction
was granted by the district court.
Az appeal was taken to the supreme
court and the decision of the lower
court was affirmed. In passing upon
the case the supreme court clearly de-
cided that cities have the right to ex-
pend money for Improvements outside
the city limits but held that such
Improvements must be for the benefit
and convenience OF all the citizens of
the city. In this case the courJ as
sumed that the benefit wcnld be only
to few merchants, and therefore
was not general benefit to the city.
The city attorney believes, in the
trial of the case to make the in juno
ton permanent that evidence can be
introduced to cure the objection of
the supreme court, aGd that while it
means hard fight, the case is by no
means hopeless. Mayor Whitman ex-
pressed himself as being opposed to
continuing the litigation. Alderman
Middaugh said in his opinion there
was no hope of winning the case, and
Mr.. Huesgen said he had talked to a
number of lawyers in town and they
expressed the opi1ion that the city s
case was hopeless. Alderman Cock
burn said he had not only talked
with the city's paid counsel. but the
ablest municipal lawyers in the state
had been consulted and they gave
him encouragement to believe that the
city had a good case and that there
was good prospect of winnin g.
Alderman Hudgkinson said the emu to
be gained was So valuable to the peo.
pie Of the city that he was emphati
cally in favor of fighting the case te
finish. 1t was shown that the taxes
which the city would be able to re-
ceive from the county on account Of
the bridge would pay the principa
and interest on the bridge bonds.
The question to pursue the litigation
being PIT Aldermen Cock burn; Hodg
kinson, 'Brainard, and Russ il vote6

Huesgen voted no. ..r %.
