Aid. Gere moved that the matter be postponed. Aid. Sewall wanted to know what salary the city engineer would receive ad interim. He was informed that it would remain the same.

Aid. Gere's motion was adopted. The question of sanitary contract was brought up and a recess taken for consultation. On reassembling, Aid.

Give them a call 1 Miss Edith Morrison Writes Letter to the "Pig." Miss Edith Morrison, the sister of the Morrisons, yesterday sent a letter to this office by a friend. Accompanying the letter was another be from Miss Fannie Abston, the young school teacher who Was assaulted in Coaling, in which Fhe completely exonerated the Morrisons from the charge of assaulting her. From the tone of the letter, it would show that Miss Abston was well acquainted with Miss Edith and her brothers, and would have recognized them if any one of them had been the ruffian who attempted the assault Miss Abston declares she did not know who the man was, nor did anyone else know. She had never seen the man before, and that a man named Jim Bowman was responsible for the report that appeared in several papers, that it was one of the Morrisons who was guilty. Miss Abston states that she had been asked by people in Coaling to state that the Morrison's were the parties, and asks Miss Edith not to think hard of her for the report The letter from Miss Morrison was signed "The Outlaws' Sister." She asks this paper to print Miss Abston's letter as it "will be a good recommendation to her brothers, who are said to be outlaws," and she "knows the papers need something to fill up on," and takes the Birmingham papers to task "for the lie they printed." She declares "that if some papers would only print the truth they would never fill their paper." She than' the Pig for lttting her know she has a brother John, and that she "and papa and mama would be glad to see their son John, as they, had never heard of him before." She extends a cordial invitation to "Brother John to call around when he is iu town." As Miss Morrison's friend said nothing about Miss Abston's letter being a copy, aud when the reporter received it he was under the impression that it was the original copy, and afterwards discovered that both letters were in the same handwriting, he took occasion to call on Miss Morrison, at her home, near the yard depot of the L.

and road. On knocking, a young lady came to the door and the reporter asked for Miss Edith'. He was informed she was the party asked for, and the reporter questioned her concerning Miss Abston's letter. She at once said she had only sent a copy of the letter, but it was word for word as Miss Abston had written. Miss Morrison is a handsome young lady of about 17 or 18 years, with pretty gray eyes, shaded by long, black lashes.

Her hair is rather dark, and her complexion is perfect Taken all in all, she is one of the handsomest girls iu the city, and is also very intelligent. PERSONAL. Mr. Thomas Warren and wife returned last night from a visit to Williston, O. Maj! J.

SMITH. The Rockwood (Term.) Free Ballot gently reminds the world that "a frog doei not remember when he was a tadpole, but other folks do." Negro women are demanding representation on the board of lady managers of the World's Fair, and representative colored women are asked to meet in convention in Washington to devise ways and means whereby their handiwork may be properly exhibited at the fair. The action of the city council in recommending that the sanitary work be done at night will meet with general approval. Such work should be done under cover of darkness, even if it is somewhat less convenient.

The daylight stench-cart is a nuisance and the people demand its abolition. Henry Watterson has gotten the tariff down pretty "pat" when he says "If the skies should rain silver and if silver dollars should be heaped up in the valleys so that those who are making such an ado about more money could fill their sacks and baskets, and could cart it away with them, it would, under our unequal tariff system, soon find its way back to the present custodians of the wealth of the country, leaving tin tax ridden farmer as poor as. ever.

Looks Like Crime. Upper Sandusky, Sept. 7. Word has beeu received litre of the accidental discovery of the skeletons of twin infants iu a store box in a field a short distance southwest of Nevada. A few days since Amos Myers, while on his way home, noticed an ordinary store boi which somebody had carelessly buried in such a manner as to leave part of it exposed.

Upon opening the box he found it contained the remains of two babes which had evidently been buried for some time, as some of the small liones were about entirely decayed. Enough, however, remained to prove v. itliout a doubt that a foul crime had been committed. The skulls und some of the larger bones of the body were quite well preserved and Jierfeet hi their formation. Jlr.

Myers took the remains to his home to await further investigation. New Labor Movement. Pittsburg, Oct. 7.
