When the bill was read Mr, Vaughn, who was present, bobbed up and askod that he be advanced one-third of the bill, as ho was hard up and needed the monoy to pay his employes. Chairman Turner sald the bill would bo referred to the committee on finance for examination, and would come up again at the next meeting, 1ghn wmsistod on being allowed an advance, a8 ho was greatly in necd of the money, and _sta that he was under bonas to the connty, ete, O'Keeffe moved that $i00 bo advanced on the bill, Turncr thought it should be reforred to tho finance committee, but Vaughn pleded for somemoney, 80 Corrigan seconded O'Keeffo wotion and It carred.

At the figures namod in the contract the printing of the tax hst would amount to 57246, n reduction from Mr. Vughn's fig- ures of §1,457.45, 1f it 15 decided to allow only the amount duo under the contract Vuughn is ahead of the county just §127.54 The revort of J Shiclds for the third quarter siowed 56106 on hand as fees.

His last attack of *‘jim- jams” was the third he had undergone within u few months, On the morning in question he had started on another spree. At about 11 o'clock in the day he had abouv all the liquor on board he was able to carry. Stepping into a sa- loon on one of the principal streets he calied for aswig of “bugjuice,” which was promptly refused. the bartender noticing the condition of the man and remembering his late battle with the snukes, Harley scowled and tarned to o gas jet to light his pive. A second lator there was a drunken moan, a flash of alcoholic flame, and Harley fell heavily on the floor, his head and neck veiled in smoke, while blue jots of lame wore issuing from his ears, mouth and nostrils, As soon as watercould: be pro- cured (water was a commodity rather searce around such places) it was dashed in the sufferer’s face, not in time, how- ever, to suve his life.

Two little boys. aged eight and ten years, made an’ attempt to devail the White Mountain express becauso the conductor of a freight train refused to give them a ride.says n Concovd, N. H., dispatch, Their names are Avthur and Perey Abbott. They wero on their wny to Northfield and tried to steal a ride on the freight train but were put oft at East Concord. They then contin ued their journey on foot. As tho White Mountain expre very fast and heavily loaded train, was pissin south a short distance above North Con- cord, iv struck some gbstruction on the track. The wheels of the locomotive and cars luekily canght the b guin after passing over them, though tho pussengers were badly shaken up-und frightencd. The train was stopped and it was found that a dozen or more fish- plates had been placed on the rail with the evident intention of throwing the train off. The p of iron were ground up under the cars teaving pieces from the plank flooving. The boys were detained when they reached Can- terbury by the station agent, who thought they were runaways,and to d that they had him they confes placed the obstructions on the track out of rovenge for being put off the freight and intended to derail the train. The escape of the White Mountain express from a terrible casualty was remarkuble, as it was going at a high rate of speed, and had it left the track the loss of life woulda have been frightful, e Bernhardt's Crazy Leading Man. Another sad instance of the folie o grandeurs, or mania for magnificenc has just occurred in Paris, M. Ma quef, a young comedizn of the Odcon theater, has beea very strange in his manner lately, says a Paris letter to the 28 London Standard, Since his recent journey to London with Mme. Sarah Bernhardt, e began to wear s0rts of ribbons as decorations, to which he had no right. After M. Damala’s death ho gave out that he was about to murry Mme. S i Bernhardt, as he was the only actor capuble of performing by her sido.

Upon examination the farmer found that the stomach of the carcs contained a huge alligator turtie,whi had been swallowed while the saur was alive.
