50 The Street Superintendent reported eight days worked out on the streets by teams and ten days by men. The Sidewalk Committee recommended that property owners be required to make sidewalks in accordance with the existing ordinance. The city's attorney, L. F. Limbert, was present, and stated that, having been away, he was not yet prepared to make a report on the advancement matter, but thought all legal steps had been taken.

Would make a full statement at next meeting. The Street Committee reported against the proposed narrowing of a portion of Central avenue. Report accepted. A petition was presented for the improvement of the alley between Washington and Gray avenues, running from Armstrong to Devor street. Mr.

Emrick thought the alley, and all other improved alleys, ought to be bouldered, in compliance with the ordinance, but a motion was finally carried to so amend the alley ordinance that alleys can be bouldered or graveled, at the discretion of Council. This amendment may yet prove embarrassing to members of Council, for in working under it they may be accused of allowing their friends to gravel and compelling their epemies to boulder. The work house ordinance was read the third time. Mr. St.

Clair moved to amend by adding the old engine room in the City Building as a place in which to compel prisoners to work out fines. The ordinance as amended was passed, the only negative vote being Mr. Vantilburg's. Mr. Ratliff reported several sidewalks in Huntertown not yet completed, and Mr.

Dalrymple and MeCarty were ordered notified at once. Parties in that neighborhood will be given ten days time after notice in which to construct their sidewalks; if not completed in that time, the work will be done by the city and assessed against the property. The proposition to engage an attorney to attend to the corporation's legal business during the ensuing year was postponed until next meeting. On motion of Mr. St.

Clair, the sum of $1,800 was temporarily transferred from the General Fund, as follows: $1,000 1 to the Gas Fund, $400 to the Salary Fund, and $400 to the Fire Fand. M. A. Maher complained that Council had not yet constructed the gutter and sidewalk fronting his and other property on Broadway, north of the bridge, as per agreement in return for certain ground donated for street purThe matter was referred to poses. the Sidewalk and Gutter Committee, with power to act.

The Gas Committee, on complaint of Mr. Emrick, was ordered to have the limbs of a shade tree, on the corner of Fifth and Walnut, trimmed so the gas lamp would not be obstructed. Adjourned to next Monday evening. Murder of a Darke County Boy and His Wife in Kansas. A letter written from Wa Keeney, Kansas, by J.

C. WilTrego county, son, to D. W. Inman, of Stelvideo, county, gives an account of the this of E. M.

Swartz and his wife murder at Wa Keeney. Mr. Swartz is known to quite a number of Darke county people, being a son of Malvin Swartz. He was raised by Jess. Brewer, of Union City.

We make the following extract from the letter: W. INMAN--The mangled bodles of M. E. Swartz and his wife were found at their home here to-day, the 17th of May. We found a letter of yours to him, and from the way you write suppose you are 8 friend, and so notify you of the tragedy.

The couple had been married but a few days. The wife's relatives live in Kansas City; they have been notified. Mr. Swartz sold two or three car loads of Texas ponies the other day, ing some seven hundred dollars, and it supposed the crime was committed for this money, though it is not known how much the murderers got. "Mr.

Swartz partially regained consciousness about two hours ago, and the doctors say he may possibly recover, though the chances are against him. His skull is fractured in three places. We can not find trace of any friends but you, and write this to ask that his relatives and friends be notified. He is about twenty-three years of age. His wife will be buried at Kansas City; her body is terribly mangled.

Mr. Swartz has considerable means. In looking over his papers we find that in addition to his property here he has $6,500 in bonds, and owns two sections of land six miles south of this place. His wife also. had deeds to a good deal of property.

The Sheriff is out with a posse of men, trying to' capture the murderers, who are supposed to be a gang of cowboys. notify everybody necessary. Nothing but what is right will be done by the people here. If Mr. Swartz grows any worse, I will notify you at once." The letter is quite lengthy, but we give the main points.

The address of the writer is C. Wilson, Wa Keeney, Trego county, Kansas." The New Congressional Districts.

Professor S. F. Thompson is getting out timber for a new tobacco shed for Mr. Kelsey. The Red River Rake Factory has struck at last, no one but the proprietor being left on guard.

The Red River militia has been ordered out to shoot down the strikers; but as our militia doesn't shoot very much, don't think anybody will get hurt. The Red River and Gettysburg Combination Band has been born over again, as it were, and has been christened "'The Citizens' Union Band." It is composed of the combined talent of Franklin and Adams townships. The boys are daisies; they have a new set of instruments, and will give a grand entertainment at Kirk Williamson's residence, at Circle Hill, on Saturday evening May 29th, at which time and place, ice cream will be served in good style for the benefit of the band boys. Hope the citizens will turn out and give the boys some substantial encouragement. R.
