It is a cowardly, mean practice, and if still per sisted in will be looked into by the au thorities of our city and the perpetrators severely punished. Why, it is becoming dangerous for any one to pass along the streets any more at any time. There are places in the city where they are in the habit of throwing stone out of the upper story windows at people as they pass along the streets. This is a cowardly mean trick and has been repeated more than once from the same building; now if the parties in charge of that building intend that such things shall be contin ued, the city authorities should investi gate the matter and see why the lives of our citizens are to be thus endangered while passing along the streets. There are reasons for all things usually, but we Layc failed yet to see any reasons for these distardly acts. OUR CITY OAD8. Proceedings tf Last Night's Meet- Ingof The City Council.'.
