OUR OILY ALDERMEN.

Ibey Meet and Transact Business Which Causes Some to Squirm and Squint, ihe fair am] fat councilman of Crawfordsvillo waded out through the snow last evening and up to the council chamoer. All of them were there and presented as pretty a spectacle as thoy complacently licked their chops, as one would care to see.

Mayor Carr reported that tlio police board had conferred police power upon Mace Townsloy and Fred Wilhite, of Music Hall. These gentlemen are now duly empowered to club small boys out of the hallway, kick disorderly big boys down stairs and throw driuiken men out of the upstairs windows. Long may they wave and exerciso their function without fear or favor. May they crack many heads and inspire such fear among the hoodlum element that Music Hall will bo as peaceful as a Dunkard feet washing.

The lire board reported the sale of the injured horse Barney to Chief Dorsey for the sum of §50.

Bonds wero issued to allow grandmother Heaton to pay in.'ten annual in-

stallments tho S55.75 it cost her to put the side walk on the west side of her property.

The clerk was authorized to set a license rate on the People's Theater which is to be re-opened. The rate will probably bo 85 a week.

Tho question of tho famous Wabash avenue improvement again camo up by councilman Walter moving to release Mr. Bandel from tho contract for doing tho work. Mr. Bandel had been misled through tho advertisement of the engineer, so Mr. Walter said, and would lose about 8600 by doing tho work at the price ho bid. The matter was discussed pro and con for an hour and tho motion was then put and lost, Messrs. Waiter and Reynolds voting for it. Mr. Bandel will uso other moans to get out of performing the work which ho asserts would bo most disastrous to him.™

A complaint was lodged in regard to tho condition of the alley running north and south by the property of Ira Cadwallader, and the street commissioner was ordered to repair it and present a bill of costs to the plumbing firm that had torn it up.

Tho city commissioners made their final report favoring the opening of OibBon, Anderson and Haw streets, and it was accepted.

Councilman Smith announced that at the next meeting he would introduce a resolution sotting aside 5 per cent, of the tax levy as a sinking fund to pay the electric light bonds.

Tho city commissioners reported favorably on the opening of Green street between College and Franklin Btreets and also the opening of the alley run ing east and west between John and Plum streets and Jefferson and College streets.

All bids for the putting in of side walks on the south side of West Piko street where walks are not already laid were rejected and tho property owners authorized to do the work.

A committoo was appointed to consider tho advisability of calling out the commissioners to report on the opening of Hocutn and Oak streets to Market street and the opening of Garfield street to Wabash avenue. Tho committoo will report at the next meeting.

The Linen fair.

Tho Young Ladies' Missionary Society of the Methodist church has postponed its linen fair until Friday evening. Tho admittance will bo free in the afternoon and a large number of beauti ful articles of linen work will be on sale at remarkably reasonable prices. In the evening an admittance of fifteen cents will be charged and oyster stews served to every one. The young ludies have made great preparations and doserve tho most liberal patronage.

Sound Logic.

A mother of this pity, in endeavoring to keop her five-yoar-old son and his brother from running out doors so often in tho wot,"* kopt romonBtrating with them that thoy might take tho diphtheria and die. Finally the little fellow aftor he had heard the same story for about the tenth time replied: "We all have to dio somo jtime, and if wo get sick and die don't you cry obout it."

HUNTING 00LT.

Albert Miller'B Setters Discounted by a Olever Oolt in the Possession of Judge W. P. Britton,

Judge W. P. Britton has upon his farm Just south of the city a colt possessed of a uiost remarkable trait of character. It is not an old colt and not a particularly blooded colt but as a genuine oddity in one respect it is incjmparable. Some days ago one of the men about the farm no', iced the colt standing perfectly still in tho meadow, one fore foot was Blightly lifted, its tail rigid, and its neck stretched forward as it watched something in tho grass neveral yards awuy. Suddenly it advanced cautiously sovoral steps and again assumed its former position and finally giving a leap forward threw up its head as a large covey of quails arose from its foot and whirred away to a distant part of the field. The observer greatly amused told tho story to others, who to see the sport would drive tho colt into fields where coveys ran. In every instance tho colt would come to a dead set when in the vicinity of the birds and tho same action it evinced on tho occi:sion described would be repeated..] udge Britton experimented with his precocious possession last Sunday and had tho satisfaction of learning that ho owns tho finest bird colt in the country. The little animal never (lushes a covey until he has first set thom as well as any dog in Crawfordsvillo could do, and it finds ail there are in the field too. He lias not yet boon tried on hunting single birds and retrieving but will no doubt become proficient in these works if drilled. The only similar equine to Judge'Britton's is an old horse owned by Boswell Clougli, of Now Richmond, which was last year written up at length in a well known sporting paper. Mr. Clough's horse, however, will jiot hunt the birds but will set them for a few moments if it chances to stumble across a covey in the field. It will also run rabbits which, of course, greatly detracts from its value as a hunter.

The Royal and Select Masters. There were over sixty of tho royal and select masters assembled in the Crawfordsville chapter hall Inst evening to do special work and honor T. D. Brown, the Illustrious Grand Master of the State. Tho following gentlemen from out of the city wero present: S. P. Millor, D. C. Bryant, J. A. Hedgcock, N. C. Davis, Ed M, Keller, D. J. Kimmell, E. P. Doming, .Tame W. Morrison, W. G. Morris, N. J. Guekill, of Frankfort Alex Scott, Geo. Grimes, Charley Good bar, J. C. Knox and W. B. Riddle, of Ladoga, Samuel McManigal, of Yeed ersburg. Dagrees were conferred on the following gentlemen: J. M. Caldwell II. B. Ilulctt, H. S. Watson, J. C. Wicker, H. E. Gilliland, of Crawfordsville A. M. Scott, C. L. Goodbar, J. C. Knox, of Ladoga W. A. Loiland, of Linden. After the work all adjourned to the Robbins House where a bountiful banquet was spread. The occasion proved a most enjoyable one and will long be remembered by the Royal and Select Masters.

Jolly Near It.

Grandfather Krug has a very precious grandchild who attended the Plum street Sunday school last Sunday and entered ono of the classes of small boys The teacher was elucidating in regard to tho benefits incident to the acquirement of a home in Heaven and among othor joys mentioned that of everlasting life. "Now children, queried the teacher, you never heard of any one on earth having everlasting life did you?" "Well, my grandfather is over a hundred'years old, I reckon," was tho shrill and unexpected response of master Krug as he looked disdainfully around on his classmates whose grandparents were not of a longevity to lie compared with his.

At Musio ilall To-morrow Ni^ht. "The Shadow Detective" at Tony Pastor's.—It might be inferred from the itle of the play brought out last nig ht at Pastor's, "The Shadow Detective," what was tho character of tho 6tory and incidents. Excitement and sensation aro not wanting, and the habitues of the place wore accordingly in a' jubilant mood last night. Mr. Dan A. Kelly in the central character was a success. He gave evidence of the possession of obil ity that should make him world-famous as a character actor.—Ncic Yorh World,

Baptist Ohurch Meeting.

Owing to the inclemency of the weather laBt evening the congregational meeting at tho Baptist church was not as largely attended as it might have been. The building committee was cot elected, but a committee consisting of Mrs. Hattie Campbell, Rev. G. P. Fuson and W. H. Jackson was appointed to nominate a building committee. The work on the new church will be begun just as soon as the weather settles in

the spring.
