Bills to the amount Goise, Keating o and Siedentopf present, Keating w called to the chair. of £1,000 were allowed, on recommenda tion of Ald. Siedentopf, who had inspect ed them, P. Judson were given permission to do their own filling of street of lots near Sixth avenue and Tenth street, Phil Judson and L, in front Mr. Beardsley was given permit to lay his own curbing and sidewalk in front of property on Market strect. Thomas CGriflith entored protest against being assessed for walk laid down #n front of his property by Wick- ham Bros., on account of there being loss sand than was required by contract. Ald. Seidentopf inquired of Engineer Brodbeck how he could report on these pieces of work, Mr. Brodbeck explained that he could not watch much work all the timo, He suggested that there was a sidewalk supervisor, and if he couldn't look after it an assistant or sidewalk inspector bo appointed. Ald. Siedentop said heknew there were just causes of complaint about quantity of land used, and he would not vote for granting any of these certificates, ‘inally referred to committoe: A petition was presented of property- owners asking that the grade of sidewalk on west side of North Main street be lowered two inches to accommodate per- manent buildings there. Referred to city engineer. Park Policeman Covalt asked that his pay be made equal to £40 a month cash, #s being pald n general fund warrants the discount was too great. lteferred to park committeo. C. E. Stone, by hisattorneys, prosent- ed his claim of $1,000 damages for dam- ages done by the creek to his property corner of Vine and Bryant streots, Re- ferred to the city attorncy. Notices were presented of suits com- menced against the city, ona by Mrs, M. Wilson for $5,000, for unpaid wa rants bought by her, and oue by M Wiley for 1,000, for damages to he daughter by falling on a defective side- walk, Reterred to the city attorney. The July reports of the city clerk and the chief of police wero presented and filed, Wm, Lantrop was granted a saloon li- cense to sell pop. The resignation of Rev, CyrusHamlin, as one of the trustees of the public hibzary was received and accepted Soveral saloonists who had paid in ad- vance saloon licenses to Aug, lst, and who had quit business July lst, were al- lowed a refund of a month, payable out of the general fund. Alb, Sledentopf called attention to the fact that the sewerage had to be twisted up and down to dredge water-pipes. It seemed to him that something should be done to either change sewerage, or make the water company put elbows in, or changeits pipes, and make way for sew- erage. Ald. Keating offered rosolutlon order- ing all telegraph and telephone compan- ies to remove their poles on Broadway, from the gutters to inside the curbing within ten days. Carried, Ald. James offered resolution ordering sidewalk on ht strect from Willow avenue south to the alley. Carried. Stores and other obstructions in creek between Main and Bancroft streets were ordered to be removed te one side so as to throw the current in center of thebed, 80 #8 not to cut the banks. The condemnation of an outlet for In- dian creck was brought up and discussed. The survey on which appraisement was made last week was considered too ex- pensive, as 1t cut farms in two badly, 1t was thought better to try an appraise- ment along a different route, running from the city limits south along the sec- tion line, and then to the river, and the city attorney was directed to proceed. Adjournment was taken until Monday night. The council then met as a hoard of health. Alderman James inquired about whether some order about suppressing a nuisance, or filling a hole in fr of L C. Dale’s property on the corner of Fourth avenue and Tenth strect had been carried out. 1t not havi been carried out, the board renewed its order to the marshal. Having thus entitled themselves to the per diem by this brief a ment wes taken, WILL LYMAN ACCEPT? The Ny Surprise That He Cannot Tell What to do, ination Comes as 80 Great a Tho action of the congrossional conyen- tion at Atlantic, Wednesday, in nominat- ing Judge Joseph Lyman, came not only as a surprise to the peoplo at large, but no less o surprise to Judge Lyman himself, who was in no sense a candi- date, and who bad no idea that his name would be used, much less that it would be given the houors. He having already been nominated unanimously fora continuance upon the bench of the circuit court, he was awakened about 2 o'clock yesterday morning by his friends who came to notify him that a second nomination at the hands of the republican party was his, This placed Judge Lyman in a peculiar position, His natural line is along that of the law, and ho had sottled down to the expectation of being contfnued on the bench, whon thus suddenly called upon to take up the standard in a congressional contest in a district naturally republican, but which, by the forced nomination of Anderson vwo years ago went over to the democ- racy, and now needs to bo reclaimed. Of course Judge Lyman must either up the judicial nomination or the con gressional one, and this is a puzzler to him and his iutimate friends and advis ors, Of the two races he would be the more sure of winning the judicial, for the democracy concedo that to him, — In the other race he would have to compete with the present democratic Con- {gressman W, H, M, Pusey, al- *though it is reported on seemingly good lauthority that Mr, Pusey will not run 1t requires a fellow to be smart, too, fcr i mecting of the board of health, adjourn- | agam. The judicial nomination promises Judge Lyman a certainty, the other only a probable victory, and possibly if a vic tory one more endangered by the fickle ness of politics, Still there has been such an outburst of enthusiasm for Judge Lyman, and so many predictions that he will lead this district out of the democrat ic swamp and mint-bed, that the pressure for him to accept the Nomination is great. Tur: Bee man tried to learn of Judge Lyman yesterday what ho was going to about it, He said he had not for a day or two, probably not before the first of noxt week. It had come to him iddenly and he did not waut to act rashly or inconsiderately. o said that if he could have been at the convention and stopped the use of his name it would have been different, but the convention, without any knowledge on his part, hay ing gone ahead and nominated him, com- ploted its business and adjourned, it was decided, a more difticult matter to decide, Ho could not but feel erateful at the high honor paid him, and it would take nerve in any man to decline the nomination thus made. Still the judicial position was moroe to his liking and more in his line. He should take time to consider the matter and consult with his friends and party leaders. 1f it appears that to decline would cause demoralization, whilo an acceptance would lead to a ro- publican victory, he would probably feel like accepting as a duty to his party, even at a sacrifico of personal preference and judgment. In fact he wanted to do in the matter what would be for the best intorest of the party, and he should take time to consider all sides of the situa- tion, It was learned from others that a counsel is to be held Saturday night, at which Judge Lyman and his friends will consider the matter, so that tho (uestion of his acceptance or non-acceptance will probably be scttled before Monday. — nes the Prizo, Lyman G Last evening a large delegation from tho Blaineand Logan club, of this city, ropaired to the residence of Judge Ly- man, the nominee for congress. Mr. Lyman appeared and invited tho boys in and aftor a fow moments of eocial_inter- course and congratulations they depart. ed. Boforo loaving three cheors were given for Judge Lyman, to which ho re- sponded in a short but eloquent spoech, in which ho thanked them in cloquent and feeling words.

The damage will not exceed § How Tramps Steal Kides, La Cruces (N.M.) letter San Fean, Chronicle, On the platform of this railroad town of the past your correspondent was loft standing a few nights ago with the miser- able fact staring him in the face that he had a long wait of six hours before him, with nowhere to go, nothing to read and not a thing to do. Stiolling to the end of the platform, a man was discovered seated on a truck and swaying his legs to and fro with the casy grace and devil- may-care abandon of one to whom time was no object. Away to the right of the track the moon, just emerging from a cloud, lighted up the yeliow tide of . the Lio Grande, along whose swollen banks in the gloom of the cottonwoods sparkled fully half a dozen camp-fires. ‘A freighter’s camp!’ inquired the correspondent of the gentleman on the trucl No; tramps;” ho ejaculated. ““The country is alive with them, and_it’s get- ting worse,” he added, “‘eveiy day.” I suppose brakemen and conductrrs have quite a time preventing them from stealing a ride’” Yes, but it's lost labor. There’s not 1 goes over the Santa Fe road tha’ deesn’t carry from half a dozen dead- beats up, and this line has got tho namo among tramps of being one of the hardest lines to beat in the United States.” “How is the racket worked?’ queried the scribe. “Well, thes old ‘vets’ use which is gocd on o lots of ways. The the ‘universal ticket,’ every railroad in the United States and the Canadas, while ginners work the box-car and the blind’ baggage. Tho ‘universal’ ticket is a small, thick board about a foot and a helf long and three to four incnes broad; n groove is cut midway in it deop enough to allow it to sit without slipping across any of the connecting rods or the break-beams of a freight car. Once snfely under the car tho tramp fixes his hoard, which gives him an A 1 seat, and as long as he don't fall asleep he can travel in perfect safety. No one can seo him except by getting under the car, and neither freight conductors nor brakemen have time for that. “Fellows who are a little too nervous for the universel ticket try the box-car ‘racket.’ They watch cars that are being loaded for some point they want to go to, and manage before the car is sealed to got in and ;ride themsolves away with some grub and a bottle or two of water. The wool cars that leave Las Vegas are infested with these tramps. You see tho cars aro not loaded by the company, but by the man who charters them, and the laborers are only too ready to help a fel- low to stow away. Sealed cars are nevor opened until they reach their destination, and onco locked in, the tramp is safe from all interference untii the end of tae journey.”; “Rather rough, T should imagiue, to be locked up with limited rations in the season of washouts!” broke the seribe, “Well, no. Your tramp always brings along with him a fish-plate, by the aid of which he can always pry back the door sufliciently to squecze the body out at any time. The chains to which the seals are attached are nearly always long enough for that. For short journeys tramps prefer to ride on the blind bag- gage. The blind baggage is the car right after the locomotive, The tramp, when he sees a passenger train about to move out of the depot, stations himself on the off side of the train from the platform and waits until the conductor has jumped abomrd, when he lightly swings himself in on to the front platform of the nd is #afe until he gets to the mext station, Of course the tramp must slip off and on at every stoppage, and o the blind bag- gage is usually used only for night travel. conductors never jump on until the teain is well in motion, 1 used to brake on the San Marcial division of the road until I ruptured myself and had to get a lighter job around the depot. The smmrtest tramp I recollect in my time had only one leg. He had a Grand Army of the Ropublic badge and used to make plenty of money in all the towns along the line from Deming to Raton. To see that fellow hop on and off the *blind bag gage with that game leg of his was a tight., We never fired him.” “Don't the engineers look out for tramps “‘Not they. That is ne part of an en incor's duty. He'd just as soon haul a and ho nates the trouble ing to stop to put them oft “Is the train stopped every fimo tramp has to be put ofl “Woll, passenger trains are; but with freight trains it depends. If the brake men are strong enough they make him jump for it. Sometimes the fellow lights all right, sometimes ho gots hurt and sometimes he gots killed. When he gets killed you will generally see an itom about an unknown tramp, while trying to steal a ride, having fallen between the wheels cr something of that kind, but we know better, tramp as not e Uses of Slate, Tvade Journal. ow of the mineral products of the so widely used and applied in tho mechanic and useful arts as slate, 1t has been more universally in use in Eng- land than any other stone for a number of years, and the immense quaries in Great Britain are overt xed to keep up with the ine ing demand. The composition and toxture admir- abloadabt it for domestic uses, and en- able it to resist the wearing and destrue tivo olements of air, wator, and heat. Slate also presents a variety of color biack, dark blue, dark purple, light green, gray-clouded green, and clear Drick rod being found. Its susceptibil- ity to a high polish and elaborate decor- and its plastic nature, also onables it to bo easily carved and moulded into any fan- ciful design, make the range of its use and application almost limitlers, Among tho main uses to which thia material is already put are the following: floor-tiles, flooring, vestibule trimming and slabs, wainscoting, moldings for use with tiles waluscoting, stops, raisers, door-steps, mantels, hearth-stones, turned balusters, bath-tubs, laundry-tubs, kitchen-sinks, wash-tray, meat and wator tanks. Ro- firigerator shelves, cooling-room shelves, green-house sholves, cis- tern, mangers, black-boards, bar- fixtures, butchers’ and curriers’ tables, counter tops, brewers’ vate, urinals, Dbilliard-table beds, grave linings and covers, grave-markers, vault work, and memo al tablots, A © roof does not need any paint, and if tho slate is one of the unfading colors, the roof always presents a neat and attractive appc .rance. If you have a cistern, your roor should b slite. A slate roof is always clean—as clean as glass; it nover gathers any moss or lichens, like a shingle or hoard roof; never fills the water with paint or red lead, liko a tin or iron roof; and the water from it nover t-stes of any foreign matter, while that from a wood, tin, or iron roof is never ‘ree from the taste of woed or paint. ———— ALKIAU WARFARE, A German-American’s Novel Project. Loxpox, August 12,—The use of bal- loons in European warfare dates from the lnst Franco-German war. Thoy were then chiofly employed for tho purpose of observation, signaling and escape from beleagured towns. A (erman-American scheme of aerial warfare been under the consideration of the war oflice here, in which not only captive but free balloons ave proposed ti be used for sugressive op- erations. The 1uventor suggests the dropping of explosive boiubs upon the enemy from balloons. In addition to this, the whole of the enemy’s forces may be observed and his tactics casily deciph- ered and counteracted. It is understood that the forthcoming report will be fav- orable, certalnly as to part of the schemo if not as to the whole, - A Light in His Ear for a Bug. Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, Hero is a bug story: The other night one of these snapper bugs flew into the open window and lit on the ear of a gon- tloman who was asleep. The bug en- tered the ear and commenced his snapping and tearing at the deli- cate lining of the ear with its claws, The snapping sounded liko tho beat- ing of a thousand sledge hammers, and the clawing caused almost insupportalio poin, Tho bug was too far in to be pulled out by the fingers, and the gentle- man arose 08 quicaly ¢4 ho could and his wife tried in vain to get it ont with a needle and a hairpin. At last ho resolved to go to a doctor, and while dressing himself his wifo happened to think of the attraction light had for bugs and mouths.
