The case of the city vs. engineer Love, and conductor Bly, of train No. 17, for obstructing Madison and Broad streets, came up in the police court yesterday morning. The case has been considered a test case, and has attracted considerable attention. The gentleman who reported the case to the city, noticed tho time tho streets named were obstructed, and it was over twenty minutes. The town or dinance prohibits trains blocking the streets longer than five minutes. Con ductor Bly stated that the road’s rules were limited to ten. Both engineer and conductor did not deny- that the streets mentioned were obstructed over the limit. The trouble seems to be that the city ordinance and the com pany^’s rules conflict. Mayor Hopkins of course cannot reconize a corpora tion’s rules as law, and the employes will have to take the consequence. The case was clearly made out, and engineer Love was fined '81 and cost*, and conductor Bly 85 and costs. ' Only one or two other cases were before the Mayor. Bill Gray was up for disorderly conduct, but was dis charged. One or two street defaul ters were also given a hearing. A fine of 85 and costs was rendered against a citizen for failing to obey a police summons as witness in the rail road case.

Among other things he said: The speaker is not master of the House; he is the servant of the House. Tbo Speaker—The gentleman from Georgia need not recommence. Mr. Crisp—The gentleman from Georgia will always insist upon his rights, and see that no tyrant takes them away from him. The Speaker—The gentleman from Georgia will take hi» seat. My. Crisp—Of course he will, but he will always resent sueh remarks. The Anti-Lottery Bill. The anti-lottery bill which passed the Senate on Tuesday, and which now only needs the signature of the Presi dent to become a law, is the severest blow lottery companies have yet re ceived. The bill eloses the mails to all lotteries and gift enterprises. They cannot have their circulars, nor their advertisement in the newspapers, sent through the mails. They cannot use the money order service nor can they have money for lottery tickets sent to them, or to any bank or person for them, through the mails. In fact, the bill aims to keep everything pertain ing to lotteries and gift enterprises out of the mails.—News. This is one good bill. Give the devil his due. A Cyclone In Iowa.

Palmvra, Wis., Sept, ij —The mercury indicates sixty-five degrees fall of temperature within three days. Frost fell in this vicinity the last two nights. Last week the heat was ;o severe that large numbers of swine iq Sullivan lownship, a (ew iqifeq portb, died from z^nsfroty. The Rev. Dr. Tfllrangc, having re turned from a long tour of the South, saysi "All over the South I found a very happy condition of things. The Southern people arc good humored and cheerful (U\(\ giva more attention to qgrfeulture and trade than they do to politics. Few mon can make a liv, ing off polities, TUa majority are HsfljT ffltty other aide,” Colonel L. F.

This was done through friends of both gentlemen.—Brunei wick Times. fcAft of tty Central-Hudson Strike, Albany-, N. Y..Sept. ij.—An order declaring the New York Central strike off was read this morning in every lo- e-»l assembly between New York and Buffalo. It emanated from headquar ters and District Assembly No, 346. The Whigtyw Advance says; There is a rumor afloat that Thom as county is seeking to annex a strip of Decatur. Wo also learn that most of the people living on this strip are in favor uf tty change, but we do not think that Decatur county will agree ta part with some of her very best cit izens and lose a portion of her finest territory. The air is full of railroad rumors. The big systems are watching each other like hawks. The democrats in congress have re sorted to kicking; at least Kilgore, of Texas, has. The big footed Texan can kick down a door without half an effort. Keep up the kicking. And this reminds us that Reed richly de serves a kicking, whether he gets it or not. The Albany News and Advertiser, says > "Republican Boss Macune, he who hates cotton seed oil and is devoted to the Western hog, is distinctly and un equivocally informed that Georgians can run their own politics.” A republican journnl claims that Reed is the biggest man who ever filled the speakers chair, except J. G, Blaine and Henry Clay. Yes, he is,-«when you oome to weigh the beefy man from Maine. The danger of cigaretto smoking lies in* its pernicious action upon the brain and heart. This explains why the habits is so seldom fatal to dudes. —Baltimore American. First burglar: Good Lord 1 let’s run; here comes some one! Second burglar 5 O, come on ; it’s only a po ltceman,—Hoosier. Politics is warming up in Georgia. The senatorial question is furnishing the fuel. And the pot’s a boiling. The senate has revived the grade of lieutenant general. For whose honefit was this done? Albany is on a genuine boom. Only genuine booms aro good. SIGNAL SERVICE BUREAU K.

A LITTLE CHAT-WITH PABENTS. Topic-School Suits. We do not advance the argument that school boys should be provided with new clothes merely because tho school season has opened—Parents of course— arc the judges concerning tho requirements of their children— We refer especially to school suit4— because—in the natural order of things—almost every boy needs new clothes at this—the fag end of the summer reason—and the harbinger of coming cooler weather—when stouter aud warmer jackets and pants will be required— There isn’t any marked point of difference hstween school suits aud dress suits—save—that—the former are made from more durable and serviceable materials of dark shades —fabrics that arc more celebrated for wearing qualities than “pretty” looks— Our prices are so absurdly low that it might suggest tho remark—“too theap to be ijootl'— We have never yet falsified a single line of our announcements in our twenty-five years business here—and with the past fulfillment of every promise ns an assurance of our integ- rity—you can justly feel encouraged to visit our Juvenile Department—and form yourown conclusions ns the truth of our assertions— A promise—with us—always pre supposes fulfillment—This rule is infallible—When you have the pledge of this house upon any point yon know you may rely upon its execu tion—equally particular are we not to mislead you by extravagant declara tion—We never pass the reins of fact into the hands of * carries* speech”— Our shelves full of childrens cloth ing—in themselves—constitute Jan at traction for all economical buyers— and fittingly celebrate the blending of u florid summer ami cliamjeful Au tumn.”— I.
