This epoch marks the inauguration of George Washington, as president of tho thirteen Colonies.

To day, conspicuously displayed on all our public and private buildings, is tho American Hag, tho stars and stripes. They typify all that is grand of human thought, all that is great of human action.

When the Niiwh reporter noticed the ambitious eagerness which suffused the weather beaten faces ot Councilraanic aspirants, tickled sensation pervaded hia whole anatomy. After alt the pledges had been receiv ed, and tho future work and candidates had "coughed up their as sessment," the City hall was enveloped in the thickest gloom, and seemed to reecho the mysteries which It had so lately heard discussed.

TIIK MORTON Cl.ni. There was not the same anxious anticipation iu tho Republican camp aa wat riuito noticeable at the City Hall. The candidates were not present en masse, and when the city ticket was mentioned tho wall did not echo any shouts of approval. Several of the members made ringing speeches and were loudly applauded, probably on account of the oratorical effort more than on account of the enthusiasm their remarks created. I hey adjourned to meet again on next Monday evening, to make another effort, STRIKERS IN FORT MAINE.

The Strike in Rerlln Brings a I'cw of the Discontented to this Country. Karly last week there an rived a coterio of twenty four cmig'anU direct from Castle tJarden, New York, with their baggage. A Nkws reporter, as they all came hero consigned to one contractor, began to question the legality of their arrival under the contract labor law. They were all brick masons nnd builders and were met at tho depot by ono of our local contractor's men with a truck for their bag gage and Uie following day they were working on buildings In process "of 'erec tion alwiut tho city. The News reporter then began a systematic method of in piiry and found through an inter preter that for tho last few months there has 'becn a general strike among this class of lalorers in Berlin, Germany.

Tho )arty that came here, embarked for the United Slates with the hope of ob taining employment soon after their arrival. Theylaudodin Castlo Garden and at that point learned of the osflibil it'y of procuring work in this city. They all h.id psftsago direct from Castle Garden here and were ir.ct upon their arrival as stutcd previously. The repot ter did not inquire aa to the amount of wag. paid them for their labor, but we asrcituined the fact that every one of litem nro working in tho city to day on buildings that are in pro cess of erection iu various parts of the city.

oS'The ivarTath. IN LUCK. Henry XeoJians Strike a. Flowlag Artesian Well. On the iremises of Henry Neuhaus, at the corner of St.

Mary's avenue and High street, "on Saturday, Messrs. Cosgrove Snyder nlruck a flowing vein of water wufen rises some two feet above the surface. The well ia ouly forty six feet deep, and yielda a constant stream of clear, pure water. Henry ia correspondingly happy. Handicapped for Business.

This morning a Nkws reporter interviewed United States Commissioner eonard in regard to a sensational Item and found him very much enraged at the treatment he is receiving at the hands of the United State Marshal. He lias had several important cases on hand recently, but the sudden disappearance of Deputy United States Marshal Turner has left him without assistance, and criminals in hia branch of the law are at liberty to prosecute their crimes unprevented. Turner, it seems, has left the city under a cloud, a woman and money being mixed up in his flight. The Commissioner gave him warrants to serve a week ago, but nothing has boon heard of the officer, warrants or arrest. The man has had ample opportunity to make good his escape.

The $10 counterfeit bill offense has been left unnoticed and several minor cases have been dropped. Another Reduction on Potatoes Re duced 5e Choice Potatoes, 30c bushel. Frcit House. SPECIAL SALE OF MOQDETTE CARPETS FORI TEH DAYS. $1.35.
