Send Prisoners to England.

SGIlu TFioOiVIo w AhS'N'Ss
A dispatch to the Reuter- Telegram
company says that eighteen German
officers and 432 men, prisoners of war,
have been sent from Bouges by way OF
Dunkirk, to England, under guard OF
q dozen gendarmes with fixed bayc-
nets.
The last of the Belgian troops had
withdrawn from Brussels several
hours before the advance of the troops
of the German army appeared.
The civil guard of Brussels was dis
armed before the German cavalry en-
tered and its weapons locked up under
the city seal. The German cavalry are
said to have established their head
quarters in the historic Hotel de Villa,
the magnificent structure In which
Charles V. abdicated in 1855.
Infantry was said to be closely fol-
lowing them, but large forces are op.
Grating in the direction Of Antwerp.
They are reported to have occupied
Mechlin, fifteen miles from Antwerp,
and Aershot, where fierce fighting oc
Cured on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The strong defenses OF Antwerp are
being further strengthened, and the
Belgians are preparing for a siege
there The woods all along the rive
Scheldt are being cut down to prevent
an attacking army using them for
cover. Several magnificent residences
that might afford shelter for the en-
emy have been razed.
Massive earthworks are being con-
structed rapidly in the field, and deep.
wide bitches are being dug. Some Of
these already have been flooded. 1t is
reported that French staff officers are
in Antwerp and will assist King al
bert in directing the defense Of the
city in case of a siege.
Antwerp Preparing For Siege.
Thousands of cattle have been lriv-
en- in from the country and quarteled
In the parks. Flocks of sheep have
been pouring T." cor three days. Tre
live stock viii e killed to prov!sicn
the city. It Is trohab!e that if the Ger.
mans attack Antwerp, Queen Eliza
beth and the royal children will take
refuge in England or in Holland A
steamer Is lying in the Scheldt with
steam up in readiness to depart at any
time.

statement Of the cost of such repairs.
There was some discussion on the i'm
mense cost of the job and some of the
citizens who are benefited by the
sewer, which is a privately owned ar
! fair, objected to the assessment of the
costs to them, stating that the trouble
| originated in the sewer which connects
Lincoln school with the old private
sewer. The report was finally accepte.
and the cost of the repairs ordered
assessed to the property benefited by
the sewer
The report Of Justice Gaudet with a
receipt for $500 was accepted and Or
| dered filed.
The Adams Hardware company was
awarded the contract to install a
catch basin at the intersection of
Broadway and Second street east, their
bid being 1892 for a part iron catch
basin to be connected with the sewer.
They made a price of $68.50 On tile
basin, but this was not considered. The
bid of W. H. Ryan for $500 was the
only other bid offered.
The gas franchise was taken up
next and the city attorney announced
the changes which had been made in
the same since it had been given its
first reading. One of these was the
clause which provides that the site
<elected for the location of the gas
plant must be satisfactory to the city
council. The second change was in the
taxation of the earnings of the COM
pany. Mr.. Suit objected to the pro-
vision which requires a gross earnings
tax of three per cent after the sale of
gas amounts to over 10 million cubic
feet, instead of a net earnings tax.
The third was the insertion Of clause
requiring the approval Of all testing
appliances by the city council. The
fourth and last amendment was the
adoption of a clause providing for a
forfeit of $25 per day for 20 days for
failure Of the company to commence
operations.
In answer to question as to how
the earnings tax in this franchise com
pared with those in other towns the
size of Little Falls the city attorney
stated that this franchise was far bet
ter. The citizens present were called
upon to give their opinions in the
matter. Alderman-elect' Mat Blake
stated that in his opinion the franchise
was very good and that it should be
passed with the amendments as pro-
posed. Spirit Vasaly though that the
| city should get something for the
franchise and thought that by giving
the matter little more time the city
might be able to get a gross earnings
tax on the franchise.
The amendments were finally agreed
upon unanimously and the franchise
was given its second and final reading
and passed without a dissenting vote.
Geo. Moeglein, ST., was given per:
mission to use the street in front of
the Germania hall for storing building
material while the building is being
remodeled.
