An excellent idea. A. V. Robison and 34 other citizens have peticioned the council to cause a public cistern to be built on ihe corner of Washington and Fourth streets for fire purposes. It was referred to the general fund commiitee. As such a cistern in this locality is very necessary, and as there is plenty of fund on hand there is no doubt the committee will report favorbly. Win Herz and others complain that the ally olï froin Washington street, south, should be 16 and 1-2 ieet wide which is according to the survey of Prof. Green. As it is now proposed to pave the alley, certain perïoni feel that it should be widened to the proper width, although by do ing so, it would necessitate the removal of the fence and an out building. The matter will probably come before the council.

Fred boards with Mrs. Lewis, corner of St. Clair and Oranje streets, and is. or rather was, the owner of two line suits of clothes and other wearing apparel. His.room mate, whose name no ouu seems to know, dui not exactly take up the bed and walk, possibly beoause it was too heavy, but he did fasteu on to Stiinpsou's suits and bats aud cash to th Hiuouut of $66.50 and quietly disappeared inthenight.

The carelessness of one of the brakeman of a freight traiu oa the T. A. A. & G. T. Ry. nearly caused the death or raaiining of several passengere and the station agent, last Tuesday morning.

The same danger exists in thig city, and unlesi something is done to remedy the evil, there is no telling when aserious accident may occur. A person on Miller avenue crossing oame very near being run over by a train of flat cars backing north. He couid not see the train on account of th coal sheds ani only cscaped by a few inches. It was no fault of the company that he was not killed. The question it bow much longcr ia the nuisance to exist? Wneu an accident occurs at this point the railroad commissioner perhaps will see the necessity of ordering a flagman. Sunday a coal car was left standing half way in the street, at which a norse driven by a lady becauie frigntened, and had it not beenJforW. E. Walker, who,,happened to be standing near, a serioui ' runawaj accident mighl have been the result. Mr. Walker grabbed the hore by tb bridle aud succeedad in stopping him. It would make no difference to tuis souless corporation how many persons should be killed. It would be Hke suing a beggar to catch a louse.
