A New City Ilnll.
The question of erecting a now city hall Is
receiving considerable attention nt present
at the hands of the city council , and the al
dermen pro seriously discussing the advisa
bility of submitting the matter to the people
at n special election. Five of the members
ot the council nro heartily Is favor of the
move , nnd openly express themselves to lns
effect. Alderman Everett Is the only dissent-
ng member , nnd ho strenuously opposes the
irojcct. Ho gives as his reason that the city
s now deeply in debt , and additional Indebt
edness should not. bo incurred nt the present
line. He slates that ho does not believe In
the present generation being so heavily taxed
for the benefit of these who wilt como hero-
ifter. The other aldermen reply that no well-
regulated-city Is without n good , healthy debt
on Its hands , and it is prima facto evidence of
; rowth , enterprise nnd prosperity. They nil
igrco that the present building is inadequate
0 the demands made upon it , nnd that if u
now city hull Is not erected , certain changes
nnd additions to the present structure will
lave to bo made.
Alderman Everett favors building nti ad-
lltlon nearly ns largo ns the main building ,
vlth a vault In the rear for the purpose of
storing the records ot the superior court ,
nnd the valuable papers nnd books belonging
to the city.
Alderman Lacy draws the line at anything
of this kind , nnd announces his intention of
Ightlng such a move first , last nnd all tlio
time , as ho believes that every dollar ex-
> cndcd on the old building is just so much
hrown away.
Aldermen Weaver , Waterman , Bellinger
and Kncphcr uro nil of the opinion of Alder
man Lacy , and are anxious to Imvo the ques
tion submitted to thu citizens at a special
election. No action hat yet been taken , nnd
several warm discussions will undoubtedly
bo had before an election Is called , even If
such action in finally decided upon. What
ever move Is made , the aldermen realize that
.ho old buildinij will have to bn used for
iomo fine , nnd several minor changes are
jclng made in the interior of it.
These changes partake more of the nature
of repairs , and are neither extensive or cx-
icnsive. Counters nro being put in the of-
Iccs of the city auditor and city treasurer ,
ind a heavy wire screen is to bo placed in
ho city clerk's office to prevent the vulgar
crowd from becoming too familiar with that
official. The new city hull advocates
icquiesco in these changes , but will inter-
ioso a most determined resistance to Alder-
tmii Evcrott's scheme to build an addition to
.he outside of the shaky structure.

"Thero is only ono thing that can kill the
erection of u fire house in the western part
of the city , " said Alderman Waterman ,
chairman of the Hro committee , yesterday , to
Tim BEI ; , "and that is the wolfish proclivi
ties of property owners , 'the city wjll have
.0 buy a lot on which to erect the now build-
.11 g , and there are a great many people who
mvo an idea that when a corporation or mu
nicipality want to buy n piece of ground they
want to buy it pretty badly , and must there
fore pay any price that the owner may bo
pleased to put upon it. Of course they ran
ask what they please , but if they try to stick
it to us too strongly , they stand a good show
of getting left. Wo will give them a fine
house down there , and equip it thoroughly ,
but wo don't propose to deposit a gold mine
on the ground for the mirposo of doing it.
Now , I don't say prices are too high there ,
for no quotations have been made to me , but
1 was spcalutig from the experience of the
past , und telling you what was customary
under such circumstances. I merely wanted
to suggest that it would bo Just as well for
property owners to do thu fair thing in the
matter. "

and assaulted her , attempting to drag her
from the dining room to the parlor. Other
witnesses state that ho 1ms been around there

The Water Was Not Wet Bnougli.
Mary Cloary , an attractive young lady ol
about twenty years , living with her father nt
the corner of Avoiuio B and Eighteenth
street , hud a lUtlo difficulty with her pater
nal ancestor Thursday morning regarding
her approaching marriage. Some time ago
the daughter became engaged to Mr. Thomas
Troupe , a brakcinan on the Union Pacific ,
nnd an estimable young man , Clearsr. . ,
was Jiot averse to Traupo us a prospective
son-in-law , but did not want the union to
take pluco for bomotlino , ns his wife died
noout two weeks ago , und ho wanted Mary
to take charge of the younger children ,
six In number , two of them being under four
years of ugo , until ho could make other ar
rangements. Harsh language was used by
the father , nnd the girl took it so much to
heart that she decided that she could never
bo happy In this vale of tears , and started
out to Big l uko to bury her troubles and her
body likewise under the lily paus of taut uu
inviting shout of water.
She uiudo what she supposed would bo a
fatal pluiifo , but lauded m the mud up to her
cars. The water was very shallow , and she
hon lay down In the water nnd
: rlcd to tnk beneath the surface. John
Stollen , who hnpponcd to bo hunting near
there , watched her operations with a dis
approving eye. nnd finally Interfered , He
accompanied the young lady homo , after
fishing her out of the water , but she did not
emnln there over night , but was taken by
icr future husband to tlio homo of two young
ady fridnds.
Such was the story ns It was first given
out , but the young Indy herself now comes
to the front nnd says that the facts were
nlstntcd. She denies thnt there Is any man
n the case , except her father , who , she nl-
cgos , has Ill-treated her. and this , coupled
vlth the recent dnath 01 her mother , drove
icr half crazy. She says that such wai her
condition when she attempted sulcido , for
she acknowledges the act , but Is sorry for It ,
nnd docs not know what made her do It ,
She Is well satisfied to live , and is glad thnt
she IB still numbered among the living ones
