In the article on the paving which auponj0 ! d In Tin : Hun yesterday morning , the tj po said , In speaking of the 0 per cent , twenty year Improvement bonds , that the improve ment tax was made the highest of any for the benefits received. The word "lightest" was what was written and the compositor is accountable for the mistake. The improve ment tax Is the lightest that the citizens are called upon to bear. Yesterday morning Justice Uiggs united in marriage I'uul Christian Anderson amlStena Anderson. The groom was granted a di vorce from his llrst wife last week. Ho was engaged to Miss Stcna before the divorce was granted and wanted to marry her a week ago but his attorney advised him to wait until the court made him a free man , other wise ho would have a thorny path to tread. Ho could hardly wait for the novoltv of being o single man again to wear off before ho took upon himself another wife. Some time ago the members of the police nnd lire departments were required to purchase - chase regulation uniforms. During the hot weather the men were allowed some privi leges in the way of dressing for comfort , and were permitted to discard the regulation caps and helmets. On the 1st of September orders were issued for thu lire dep.irtment to resume their caps and full uniform , but the l > olccmen ! still appear in headgear of all styles nnd stages. As the men are already provided with helmets , no gre.it expense is entailed by wearing them , and the weather is certainly cool enough. What is the mat ter , chief ( Family Jnrfl.

Chief Lucas has taken a stco that bids fair ' < to solve the vag question very effectually. K Some time ago the council passed an ord I nance providing for the working of vagsand other inmates of the city Jail , but did noth ing in the way of enforcing it. For weeks it was a dead letter and promised to remain so. The ohiof of police determined to enforce this ordinance and accordingly laid in a sup ply of shovels and hoes. Oflicer Tyson was detailed as "tramp boss , " and as soon as the prisoners were sentenced yesterday morn ing they were turned over to the above limned olllccr , who proceeded to equip them with tools , and then started them to work cleaning the gutters on Uryant street. There was no dllllculty whatever in getting the men to work. In fact. It was generally remarked that they did nearly double the work of the men employed by the street commissioners in the same length of time. The now plan promises to bo a grand suc cess , and the streets will bo cleaned without ixpenso to thocity. Ofllcer Tyson sees that the work is done thoroughly and keeps track of the tools. His orders on thin point are strict. Said the chief : "Tyson , these shovels nro charged up to you , and if ono ia lost you must pay for it. If a man runs let him go , but don't let him take his shovel with him. " New catsup just received at Fcaron's. Benson & Shepherd sold yesterday six lots in Benson's second addition. These lots are the largest and finest on Broad way , and nro going fast. Call and got ono before they are all gone and prices jump $ -200 or $300 per lot. ' Attention !

Even the fellows who were just dying to stake their wealth on Cleveland but a moment be fore crawl down la their boots and tremble for fear Carrigg will glvo them an opportu nity to show their insincerity. Yesterday morning one of the faithful disciples of the great unwashed party accosted Tun HII : : man at the corner of Mala and Broadway and dcllvgrci liiiU alter the following manner : " = so liere , Mr. Ben man , I have bet just $400 on the election and I want to make It even $500. Now pcrhapi you know of some foolish republican who wants to lose some monoy. If you can 'put mo on to' such a fellow I will regard It as a great favor. " Just then Carrigg was ubacrvcd coming out of the First National bank with a hand ful of bills and the scribe beckoned him to the spot. "I think this gentlem.in Is looking for you , " observed the manipulator of Faber No. 2. "O , no , " objected the admirer of beef and bandana , "I only w..nt to place another hun dred. " "Well , hero Is a. very pretty little 8100 bill , " observed Carrigg , deftly abstracting It from the plethoric pile , "and it says Harrison will be elected.

Seven Times Seven-Sixty. It is said that all of the saloons in the city were closed Sunday , and such was probably the case , but it has been the custom of the soakers for so long a time to get gloriously drunk on the Sabbath that the force of habit was too strong to bo resisted , and they continued in the "good-old-way" ( I ) last Sunday to such an extent that before evening - ing the cooler was nearly as full as the In mates. It was a sorry looking sot that answered the roll call yesterday morning. They were all there , from the simple fifteen cent drunk to the doublc-complex-wholo- month's-pay-and-a-week's-steady-boozo-whlrl - - - - - - - subject , who had been having an unusually good time. Squire Schurz cast a reproving glance at the shaky assemblage and then the mill be gan to grind. The court was evidently in a hurry , but the marshal took the greater part of his remarks in shorthand , which , after being interpreted , read as follows : Charles Smith * 7.CO , J. II. Uerryhill $7.00 , F. M.

Every few days when local items are scarce and uninteresting , and the political editor is tired , the Glebe publishes a col umn of names of purported persons who have renounced allegiance to the republican party and espoused the democratic cause for rea sons of pure paytriotisui ( ) or mugwumpcrv. This not only furnishes matter supposed to bo interesting reading for the unterrilied , but it also saves considerable composition , for the matter can bo left standing and new names and locations be tilled in two or three times a week. All the care it is necessary to exercise is to locate the converts in the eastr crn states , thereby avoiding any danger of successful contradiction. A good article of ton , for 23 cents at Fcaron's.

At the council meeting last evening Mayor Kohror and Aldermen Lacy , Waterman , Weaver and Knepher answered roll call. The Uebbington matter was expected to come up for final disposal , but as Alderman Metcalf was absent the matter went over.

Intersection bill of McAdams & Amberg , amounting to 8-iOM.Uj , was allowed from the intersection paving fund. Bill of K. A. Wluicham , $ " > 10 , was referred to the finance committee. E. A. Wickh.un protested agaiast such rofermeat as ho needs the money , but it remained with iho committee for examination. The bill of the .same con tractor for intersection paving at Twelfth and Broadway was allowed after deducting the amount duo from the Union Pacific company for paving between street car tracks. Bid of John Gilbert for 370 was al lowed. Bill of the bamo for 519 was referred back to the city engineer to ascertain who did the original work. This bill was for putting a sewer connection in tne alloy back of the Creston house , which was supposed to have been done years ago , but was omitted. The proposition of the Electric Light and Power company to furnish the city light for ten years was referred to the gas committee. Samuel Drcsbach protested against his as sessment , as the amount of his stock would not at any time amount to $100. lief erred to the Judiciary committee. The street railway company protests against paying for the paving on Broadway , as the work was not done according to con tract. It was referred to the city attorney.

Woman's World : To what is it to bo traced , this utter absence of all kinds of charms and color , which surrounds street life in London as with the dry sand wastes of a desert ? Is it duo to climate , to character , to atmosphere , to education ? Why is it that a milk cart is a picturesque object in Franco or [ landers , and a hideous one in Kensing ton or St. John's Wood ? Why is a black Imrgo moored by Rialto delightful , and moored by London Bridge frightful ? Why is the man who sells mirlitons in the Trocadoro a gay and picturesque spectacle , and the man who sells paper toys along Islington a disconsolate and painful looking , Object ? Why docs a vendor of gauftres in the Montagno do la Cour make one wish for a pencil to sketch him , and an , nmbulent merchant of cakes in Holborn suggest only dead Hies , chalk , sailron and general misery ? Why is the most ordinary object or per son in the cities of the continent pictur esque , and all similar things and people in the streets of London dingy and un lovely ? Why ? Is the cause atmosphere , architecture , national tcmperincnt , cli matic inllucnccs , insular melancholy , or what is it ? The reasons may bo various and com plicated ; the fact is plain and painful. I am inclined toboliovo that the mon otony of ugliness in the London streets buildings constructed without an idea , without a meaning , without a single grace , without any charm of light and shade , of proportion or of form repeating its own nullity again and again , as an idiot repeats its mumb ling nothing affects the minds of those who live amongst it , and the sickly anremia of the factory or the serving girl becomes the dyspepsia and the boiodotn of the woman of fashion ; and I believe the hypochondria of English men and women is duo much less to climate than it is to the absence of beauty about them in their daily lives , and to the unenjoying haste in which they live. The influences of beauty on the mind are never sulll- ciontly remembered nor esteemed. The anxiety which would make ono commit su < cido in a back street oil Eaton square , seems but a mote in the air as wo glide through the silver water to Venetian islets , or see the sunshine glisten through the gay green leaves of the Pro Catalan or the rich vernal aisles of the Bois du Cambro. Tlio pall of smoke which is drawn like a stifling curtain around London , shuts out lovli- ncss and light , and mirth , their sister. Society has a substitute for these in what is called Pleasure , but the streets , and the people in the streets , have no compensation for their darkness. What ' is bc'autiful in London , the luxurious in teriors , the charming women , the spectacle of great parties in great houses , the profusion of hothou&o llow- ers covering walls and staircases , these the multitude can never seo. Wlion the beauty and wealth of a great society are displayed in its architecture , in its gardens , in its public pageantries and festivals , then the body of the public is a sharer in and a gainer by thorn ; what is left of beauty in London is wholly shut away behind the iron gates of court yards and the hall doors of noble man sions.

Among the many amusing episodes that vary the routine of life at the dif ferent seaside resorts this summer was one which illustrates the truism of Bul- wer's assertion ' 'It is difllcult to know which do us the most injury in life , our enemies with the worst intentions or our friends with the best. " It happened that in the crowd'of ' pleasure-seekers atone ono of our seaside caravansaries were two ladies who In early times on the coast hold the positions respectively of mistress and maid-of-all-workbut owing to ono of the metallic convulsions , pro ducing upheaval of our social system , the two ladies were n w upon equal foot ing in point of wealth. Mrs. Always- rich , wo will call her , was , however , ot a moro distingue clique than her some time " " and "help , consequently had never mot her socially. Upon the occasion wo speak of she was the center of an admiring group , who were listening eagerly toner nor suggestion for a four-in-hand drive and picnic to bo given the end of the week. Suddenly ono of her friends jumped un , and approached iv lady who was passing along the veranda , said : "Oh , Mrs. , I must make you acquainted with my friend , Mrs. Al- waysrich who will , 1 know , bo so happv to nave you go along to her picnic,1' and suiting the actioa to the word , slio drew the newcomer into the circle and presented her to her quondam mistress. These who were in the secret of days gone by were curious to see the result and wore not a little amazed to hoar the whilom help reply. "I think we used to bo acquanted wanst , " but Mrs. Al- waysrich said with chilling hauteur : "Madam , you have the advantage of me. " Needless to say she was not in cluded in the picnic list , and the of ficious friend who introduced her with that idea , received a decided snub for the rest of the season from the Always- rich clique. THE UMPIRE'S AFFIDAVIT. The neatrice-PlattHinoiith Itnse Hall Trouble. BIUTHICE , Neb. , Sept. ! 3i. fCorrcspond- enco of THE BI.I : . ] In reference to the game of base ball between Thrifts Garlands of Beatrice and the Plattsmouth club wo desii o to submit the following aflldavit : STATU or NIIIIIVSKA : , I Gum COI-XTV. ) Charles C. Price , being duly sworn , on his oath deposes and says that he acted us um pire in the game of base ball played between Thrifts Garlands of Ueatrico and the Plaits- mouth club , on the grounds of the latter , on the listh day of the present month. That in the llrst half of the sixth inning , while the Garlands wcro at the bat , a dispute arose between the said clubs over a ruling of this affiant , that one Abbey , of the Garlands , was not out at llrst base , it being claimed by the Plattsmouth nine that Abbey was out , and that aniaat's ruling was erroneous , while the Garlands insisted that Abbey was not out and that afllant's ruling was correct. That after affiant made the said ruling the Plattsmouth nine came in from the field and refused to go on with the game unless afllant would reverse the said ruling and declare Abbey out. That the Platts mouth nine and their supporters surrounded affiant and demanded that afllant reverse his ruling. That after some minutes' delay af llant , because of the pressure thus brought to bear upon him , and believing it the only way to insure his personal safety , did re verse said ruling and declare said Abbey out. That upon reversal of affiant's ruling the Garlands refused to continue the game. That both nines remained on the ground the required length of time and until affiant re fused to declare the game in favor of cither nine , when the Garlands and their friends loft the grounds , it being about li : ! )0 ) p. m. That afllant was thereafter detained on the grounds against his will by the Plattsmouth nine and a number of their friends until about S o'clock p. m. , and until affiant agreed to declare the game 9 to 0 in Plattsmouth's favor , upon condition that it could bo shown to his satisfaction that the Garlands left the grounds before the expiration of the required time. That affiant's llrst decision in regard to Abbey on first base was' correct and the only decision which affiant has made vol untarily and of his own free will , his reversal thereof being made under duress. That af- flant has never unconditionally declared said game in favor of either nine , and it is affiant's honest judgment that the said game should bo declared a draw and all bets bo declared off. off.This This affidavit is voluntarily made by affiant in the interests only of truth and justice.
