Having ueoldetitully learned th.il there
wn to bo a meeting of the republican
members of tlio city council lust evening ,
ti reporter of thu 15u : was promptly on
Iiiind al llio city hull to tnko in llio pro
ceedings. A lighl was burning brightly
from the ninrslinrfl ofllt-o , mid the re
porter ascended the stops mid boldly en
tered.Vluit was his surprise to tlnil out
that the meeling WUB strictly a Htur
chamber all'uirl He was Riimmurily
botinrrd from the building , but not be
fore , with a sweeping gaze , be bud taken
in all who were present. There were
Marshal Cummin3 ; , 1'residunt Heche ! , of
the cjlv counoil , and Conucilmen Fumy ,
J.ce'Tirune | , Goodmuu , Hehm anil Hal-
ley. Lceder was not there , being the
only member of the "solid eight" who
did not put in an appearance.
Wlion the IJcu niiui was bounced bo
did not give up his eontraet in .despair ,
but resolved to hour what , the august
gathering hud to say. In looking around
for u point of vantage , a stairway was
discovered lending past the marshal's
oltioo. Tim windows were open ami the
reporter saw his opportunity. He
grasped it , and dropping on Ins knees
began to stealthily mount tin * stairs.
Two steps only had been ascended when
the reporter , glancing upward , dNcov-
rred another term on the stair * . It was
prostrate , but seemed to bu gliding up
ward and making frantio oilbrls to in-
eroase its speed. The Bui : man Mopped
in his ascent and watched the gliding
form above him. At tirst he could not
make it out , but as his eyes became ue-
enBtomi'd to the durknrss , he recognized
the rotund shape of a reporter on an opposition -
position sheet. Quickly recovering from
the shock of his discovery , the journalis
tic signal was given , and the t\vo men
quietly advanced toward each other , one
on his knees and the other on his
fttomuch , currying bis shoes in lifs hand.
Not a word was spoken , but ( lie two
ihivoring wrolches sal them down at the
open window and' ' proceeded to report
the meeting.
" Gentlemen , "Rttitl Marshal Cummings ,
"I liuvo invited you all here to bit on me
nnd my actions. .You know there have
been charges preferred anil : i good many
stories ulloat about my udmini.strution
i > ud whetlior Jou were going to .support
me or not. Now , what I want to know
in , do you want ino to stay in my position
or do you want to kick me only If yon
want me to go. 1 want to go. 1 don't
want to stay in any place w.ierc I am
not wanted. "
"Hold on , marshal , "ehimnd in Coun
cil n : ui Kuray , llwe want to ask yon a few
( mentions. It's this midnight closing or
der that's raising all the disturbance.
Tjell us all about , it. "
j'Murij'hul Ouinniinjrs then related all the
facts about the midnight order from H-i
inception until the present. Shortly before -
fore it was issued , ho mud , ho was sum-
loom-ill to the mayor's olliee , where that
tf.'N'-iai told him thuti considerable com
plaint was being made about the saloons
being allowed to run uli night. The
mayor had made up his mind that if them
was aRuilieientsentiment to uphold him ,
he would order them to close at midnight' .
lie accordingly asked the marshal to cir
culate a paper among the saloon men in
order to Hud out their sentiments on the
subject. The marshal complied , and
when ho returned the paper to the
mayor , it showed conclusively
that ithe saloon men themselves
were , by a largo majority , in favor of
early closing. Mayor 1 Joy 1 1 accordingly
told the marshal that the saloons mu-t
close tit midnight , nnd commanded him
to Strictly enforce the order alter giving
tlio saloon men due notice and allowing
them ono ilay of grace thereafter. The
marshal earned out the mayor's instrue-
t ons to the letter , the result of which is
familiar to every reader of the Hr.i : .
Numerous arrests huvo followed , the
f cnlhjnuin siiHering most in that direc
tion being 0 S. lliqgins , because he de
fied the law and refused to comply with
the order.
"Now , " said tlio marshal , "you have
heard my story. Do you snstaim me ? "
" 1 sustain the marshal lully , " wild
Councilman Foray. "Hut perhaps sumo
of Uie gentlemen present will not agree
with me and so 1 Miggest that the mar-
phul withdraw and ullow.evcrybody to
\jm ss their opinions. "
with head erect and ilrm step that dig
nitary walked from the room and lett
the seven to talk at their own sweet
will.
will.Then the discussion commenced in
cunii-ht. The lir.st tiling that came up
.was Mayor llnyd'H famous order closing
.the saloons at midnight. Some of the
members present thought the action was
tiiijusl to the saloon-keepers , and should
not be enforced. Mr. Heluu thought the
mayor had acted unwisely , and that in
many instances the order hail been en
forced too .strictly. Mr. Knr.iy believed
that it , . wus not the intention of the law to
make the saloons close promptly on
time. They ought to be allowed snt-
lieient opportun ty to get rid of their
customer * after the hour of closing had
arrived. And if a party of men
were In the place , engaged inpla.\i' > g
cards or other games , be believed that
they should lie allowed to remain if both
the back and front doors of t Me saloon
wi-re locked and no one ebe allowed to
ruler. Some of thu olliere present
thought the saloons siiould hu allowed to
run all night and that the mayor's order
WIIH all wrong.
" 1 haven't any fault to tind with the
marshal personally , " said Kuray , "but
bo is influenced by Cuo'uin Sullivan.
That's where the whole trouble lies. "
"Yes , Unit's BO , " chimed In Leo and
Thrane. "
"He's the man that's Kicking up all the
fuss , " continued Flinty. "Ho hasn't gut
n friend on tliu force , hardly. And tlio
hule/on men are down on him. He mint
be got i id of. He's too strict about the
early ole > -liig and in.ule himself un
popular. Sullivan is thu bone ol conten
tion In the whole business "
After considerable discussion of a sim
ilar character , it was resolved to ivc.il I
tlin marshal and inform him what de
cision they had reached. When he entered
llui room. Coum-ilnmn Furuy , who acted
aH.vpokcxniuu , said :

"I don'tthlnk ho ever did"said llchm.
"And now I want lo tell you. omelhinir , "

After a few more remarks by llio gen-
llemeii present the meeting adjourned ,

An Excellent Acrulonij- .
One of tliu most pleasant hours that n
reporter of thu Hr.i : lias spent in a long
time was in the company of Mr. James
Creighton yesterday afternoon visiting
St. Catharine's academy , at the corner
of Kighteeiith and Cuss streets. The
institution is in charge of the Sislors of
Mercy , and was erected by them for thu
education of young l.ulics. The building
is a spacious one , with large airy rooms ,
well lighted and ventilated , and every-
lhing arranged for the comfort nnd wel
fare of llio pupils.
Tliu reporter was greeted sit the doorby
Mother Hurkmanlhu superior in charge ,
who kindly consented to the scribe's
request to bo shown through the build
ing. Upon entering the lir.st room , both
pcnohti'i und toucher ui-lcomed the vis
itor with a. bow. nnd theehe rful lace ? of
the little ones returned with smiling sat
isfaction Ihe < rlunce of approval which
llie gnusls bestowed on them. In all thu
rooms visited the greetinir was the
same , showing that tlio sisters in charge
not only tram their pupils intelloctui'lly
bur , teach them to be courteous uuil
polite.
The principal object which drew the
reporter to tlie academy was tliu news
tliut to some of the exhibits of the sehol-
urs of tlie bchoil ut llio New Orleans exposition -
position hud been awunlid iiivniiiims.
J'he exhibits in drawing and painting
were extensive and cL-gant and ree ived
from the exposition judges u certiliouto
of merit which was richly de.survud.
In tnis branch of art the scholars are
very proficient , and their work which
fell under the reporter's eye , botli in a
finished slule and in course of comple
tion , proved conclusively that they are in
charge of thorough instructors and are
making excellent progress. In addition
to ihu certificate ol meril , thu academy
also received a document from tliu
women's department of the exposition ,
which records that the fancy work ex
hibited h.\ the pupils of the school were
iici-orded ihe second honorable mention.
Of thi.s tribute to thu ellieii-ne.y ot their
work both teachers and pupils'are juslly
proud.
Tlie vis.it to the music room was ono of
the most enjoyable features of the occa
sion to the reporter. This branch of in-
htruction is in the efficient cliurgo of
Mother Htirkmuii , who- skillful training
has made her pupils highly piolieiont in
both instrumental und vocal music. Here
tlie HKK man hud the pleasure of listen
ing to a piano solo , "Irish Diamonds , "
by Mis htta Creighton , which was beau
tifully rendered and brilliantly executed.
Then Mius Grace Williams tiuatcd hcr.-i'lf
at the piano and favored thu guest with
' Home , Sweet Home , " with variations.
Her pln.vmg was accurate , and tlio rendi
tion of tlie piece was expressive. This
was followed by an instrumental duct by
the sameyoung ladies , which showed re-
murkuble sUjll in its execution. Kor 'he
reporter's benefit Alls * Kl.ninery and At < >
lliish i-ung "The Blind Girl" in'a m-inuer
which showed thai lliey had been lunglit
lo appreciate llie meaning of the miibio
us well us to render it accurately. A
of Misses llu li Flan-
sextette , composed > > , -
nery , Ijirkhanscr , Uilev , Creighton and
Durr , accompanied on the piano by
Mother Hnrkiuun , exquisitely rendered a
selection. Tin-young ladies nil have ex
cellent voice- * , and united in perfect har
mony , their song exhibited careful und
efficient training. At its close the re
porter thanked them for the pleasure
they bud atlbnle.il him , and left tlio room
wil'h regret.
bl. Cuthurino's academy now has sev
enty pupils enrolled , wild an average at
tendance of sixty-Uve. In the musical
department there are twcntv-livc pupils ,
and twelve young ladies take logons in
painting and drawing. The facilities arc
excellent in al ) departments , llie tuition
low. und the institution is worthy of a
lurge patronage.
Powell's Hnllci I'rovoB Valal.
News was received by Coroner Iravel
last evening that Charles Leslie , the
V > ing man who was shot by H. L. Pow

hud died Irom the o fleet ol his wounds.
As the hour wus lute the coroner could
take no notion in the matter hist night ,
but will proceed to Florence this morn
ing and bold an inmn-st. Leslie , llie vic
tim of Powell's bullet , struggled hard
for his life. Two or three times in the
List week ho was thought to bu dying ,
but rallied and wus Mipposcd to lie on
the road to recovery. His vitality , how
ever , wus exhausted by the strtigulo , und
be linully Miccmnbi-il to his injnr.es.
Powell ia btill confined in the county jail.

This eold snap is remindful to the
rnunty rommKsioiiers nml i'oor Comtn.s-
sioncr Pierce that they must begin mov
ing to minister to Douglas county pov
erty. Throughout < ho entire year tlio

winter come * on apace , throws on its
chill inuntlu and Indulges In other
disagreeable performances , the cry for
help swells to a grand "Miserere , " and a
heavy run is instituted upon the treasury.
County Commas oner O'Keellc said
to-day tlmt hn thought the amount of
public charities required iu the city
would exceed that of any year previous.
Lust winter one hundred nnd seventy-
live families , representing nearly a
thousand souls , were sustained nearly al.
together by thu county. Th's ' number
was an increase of U ) pur cent over any
'
thing ever known before hero , and M'r.
I'lereo was overtaxed with work , dhid-
ini ; his duties between the favm and the
city. For this reason , with yet more
work prospective , a man will bo cm-
ployed in the city for that purpo-o alone.
1'lie work is very arduous , as inspection
of the situation of each applicant is
necessary to determine the m > rit of the
case and distribution of food , fuel and
olollfmg has to be made direct.
'Do you ever have applications from
able-bodied men willing but nimble to
obtain work ? " asked the reporter of
Mr. O'Kueflo.
"M-iny of them. When the cold
xvcathcr sets in and the ground freezes
up , a large proportion of manual labor
ccuBes and hundreds of men are thrown
out of work. It is utterly impossible for
a man , who working all summer earns
but a dollar and a half , and with thi.s
supports n family , to save inything.
Lot him be hone-it , thrifty ami hard
working as may be , he cannot make suf
ficient to lay by for the winter. Thus ,
utterly destitute and unable to obtain
employment , he is forced to ask for help
and is , indeed , worthy of it. Jtsoums

Even before an individual finds his
head heavy with the froit of seventv
winters , he often realizes thu melancholy
sensation of the
pout--
"He feels like one who trends alone ome

One by one those whom he once knew

of life , and tlio 1 ttle gr.iss-covered hil

deeply when we accompanied to their

Senator Van \Vyck ami the Colcmlza *
tloit Scheme.
A delegation of Kuiglit.s of Labor cull
ed upon Senator Van Wyck at the P.ix-
ton hotel Tuesday night , and submitted
to his judgment thu maturing project
of that order .known as the
"Colonization Scheme. "
Bo much hu.s been said concerning
this project that It must bo almost thor
oughly understood by the public. It is
proposed that thu government make ap
propriation of a tract of land in the pub-
lie domain which the poor laboring clu-
ment of tlie citis can colonize.
Senator Van Wyck warmly endorses
the project. Said he to-day in an inter
view , " 1 approve the idea and will lend
my hand to see that legislation can be
obtained upon il. The tree-land laws of
the nation were mudo ostensibly for the
poor , but practically , as far as the poor
are concerned , they are farcical delu
sions How can a poor man take advan
tage of either the homestead , preemption
tion or timber culture uetsV lie must
huvo something to take him to the locnl-
ity , establish there shelter for himself and
family nnd support , him through the jir.st
season , Thu toilers in the ci.-'S
\\lio work for § 1.50 n da.v
with which to Mipport self and
family cannot accumulate enough , losavo
their souls. Tims they are torced to re
main in tlie crowded tenements of th-i
populous towns and toil fora bitter ex-
i'W nci ! . It is heralded abroad that
America has 10) acres of land for every
man ; it would be nearer the truth if the
statement was gixcn out that America
has whole states and counties for bind
syndicates and railrniuN. I much favor
the scheme as presented by tlie Knights
of Labor , and will do what I can for it. "
She Followed him.
A rav story has just lloutcJ to the sur
face , which very olovly concerns a cer
tain business man u Douglas street. It
seems that on Wednesday night hu failed
to como h"ine und some time after 11
o'clock bin wife urine i hers.-lt with a re
volver and started down to his
place of business with blood in her
eye , to search for bur delinquent
spouco. She saw him Hose up shop , and
suspecting inlidelity on Ins nurt , detjr-
mined to see whither he would bend his
coins ! . She traced- him to u notorious
house of illfamu on Twelfth street and
su'v him outer. She rushed irantically
u t r him , rang . the door-bell
niul demanded admittance. Uo-
fore the crvnnt who eamo
to the door , could stop- her , she run in ,
threatening to kill wvry womun in
the house , and wildly flourishing her re
volver. She found her husband tete-a-
tete with one of tjie soiled dove i and
nournd upon him. 'the torrents of
her wrath. Sim was finally
induced to leave the house in
company with her unfaithful husband ,
and return to her home. It is said that
tins sequel to thu uiluir will be in tlu di
vorce courts.
