A fill of about five feet is re- quired there and the foundation for the tower, which is now completed, is in the ground but a foot, Itis alioged that if the ground is atlowed to freeze and thaw it will unsettle the foundation and leave tower in an unsafe condition next year. It would ro- quire but ashort time ani cost no more now than at any other time to do the work and might save a heavy bill for repairs.

The members of the depot commitice are very sanguine s to the result, and stato that several of the railroads are ot only willing, but anxious to have tho proposed structure crected, All are very desirous of having it settled either one way or the other, 80 that the city may at least have hundsowe new local depots in caso the uniou depot plan falls to the ground. i A.

Mother and Daughter Reunited After a Separation of Fifteen Years—An Ex-Policeman Fined for As: sault and Bateery, Still Working for a Now City Hall, Itis now several woeks sinco anything was heard of the proposed new city hall, as public attention has been taken up with the union depot schemo, and it is believed by many that the former plan has boen given up, but such 18 not the case. It will by re- membered that the idea was agitated consid- erably a few months ago, but 1t was ascor- tained that the $150,000 bonds, which it was proposed to have voted, could not bo issued without exceeding the five per cent constitu tional limit for municipal ndentodness, and the matter was then allowed to drop. It was stated at the time that the project would vo revived in January, when the new levy will be in effect, The inerease of about £2,000,000 in assessed valuation wiil sufficiently increase the valua- tion of the year just closing, 8o that th bonds necessarry for tha erection of a hand- some city hall can be voted and issued next year without cecding the constitution limit. The prime movers of the plan for the building of a new and suitable city hall state that the matter will ot be dropped perma- nently, but it will again be brought up next month, wiicn it is provabio that the council will pass a resolution to submit the question of issuing bonds to the amount, of $150,000 to be used in erccting o newcity hall at the coming spring clection. Tho great need of mora commodioy offices, as well as n place for the safo s o records of the city and of the superior court, is appar- ont, and the mattor will bo fally "discussed before it is finally presented for the citizens to decide. - Fine stock of watches and joweiry for the holidays at Wollman's, 533 Broaaway. - - s pauos, 53¢ Broadway. o Finest line confectionery, fruits, nuts and holiday groceries in the vity.

During the reading of the minutes of the preceding meeting, there was a lively and interesting wur of words between the mayor and soveral members of the council with once to the resolution ordering the grading of Sixteonth avenue between Main and Third strects, whicn Mrs, Roher cluims as her private property. The mayor claimed that the council "hade no right to pass th solution without * giving him o ch to nterpose a veto.

He insisted that if the mayor lad any griev- anco he should present it the same a3 any other citizen, and not use his power ss mayor to the detriment of the city. The mayor stated that he was sworn to bring all facts that came to Lis knowledge before the council, and he would not permit the council to do any gradiog on private property, He asserted that nothing but his extreme mod- esty prevented him from bringing up the matter re. Alderman Knepher then stated that the time for veta had pasaed and as the resolution was passed by five votes the nayor had no further voice in the matter. Considerable warmth was displayved on both sides, but the minutes were allowed to re- main as recorded.

The claim sev up by the defense was thut the newspaper man was the ag- gressor and that the defendant was acting in self defense, There were no outside wit- nesses to the assavlt, although several were called to prove that Isenberger had threat- ened bodily violence uunless certain retrac- tions were made. Isenberger swore that he was afraid that the prosecuting witness was about to shoot him, and that he considered his life in danger when he struck the latter, After reviewing the evidence the court stated that nothiug had been shown that would lead any ordinarily mtelligent or can- tious man to bolieve tha the prosecuting witness lad any iutention of assauliing the defendant, while, in fact, the evidence did show tho reverse to be the case.

A band of wolves cau make a vieh Lapp poor. When the snow is deep and so‘t, and it announced that the wolf tracks nave been seen in the neighborhood of the deer, the swiftest runners on snow- shoes prepave for an exciting chase The wolf may have a start of & mile or two, but the track 1t leaves in the doep soft snow is so prominent that the hun- ters can follow it at their best speed. The wolf, though he may run fast, has but a slight ehance for” eseaping the short men who, on snowshoes, rush through the woods, dart down steep hills, and jump from ledges several vavds in height, Each hunter does his best to outrun the others, for the wolf belongs to the Lapp who strikes the first blow, As soon as the leading hunter is closo enough to the wolf he gives it a heavy blow across the loins with his strong, spiked snowshoo staff. If there are other wolves to be pursued, he kills it outright; if not, hedisables it,and waits till all the hunters have v nvud before giving the death stroke, 2ssed upon i Stanley's Revengo in London, Time isa greater righter of wrongs.

He was most outrageously snub- bed by public men, abused and ridiculed by the pross. denounced as a humbug by the geographical socictiesand jeered at as a Yankee adventurer and swindler by the mob. He was invited before a society that his pretensions might be exposed, and his evidence which he presented as to his meeting with Liv- nizstone, was freely denounced as fraud- ulent, and the private papers of the ex: plorer pronounced as forgeri It is the same Stanley who has since been denounced as an adventurer and a hum- bug.

A Sandersville (Ga.) paper tells this story: A few days ago a gentleman was driving in the vicinity of Long’s bridge. He firmly held the lines over a splendid mare, while the mare's colt trotted along behind, When Buflalo creek was reached, repairs being made on the bridge, the geutleman found that he would have 1o drive through the channel, which was unusually deep, almost swimming, and would swim the colt. . The mare was driven in, and the colt, not desiring a test of hlsswimmiu;{ qualities, veared up on his hing lags, gently placed his fore ones on the box of the vehicle back of the buggy seat, and was sufely drawn across the muddy stream, When the opposite bunk was reached he gracefully bounded off with a whiony of satisfaction, THE WIDOW!
