GRAND EXAMINATION
In most cities of the State there is
generally some celebration made on
Thanksgiving day, but in Albany this
holiday Is generally allowed to pass
unobserved. It would be pleasant for
some celebration to be mnde In the
city, and would be enjoyed by persons
who do not go out shooting.
The water-works station will need
the attention of an engineer in a
couple of weeks’ time, when every
thing will be about ready for work
with the exception of the tower. The
tower lias been shipped, however, and
is expeoted at any time. The mains
have all been 11 lied with water, and
will soon be thoroughly washed out.
John Revels, the Negro who drives

his head. John Is thanking his stars
that he escaped with his life.
“I had a genuine case of yellow

nigger on board with a bad case of
fever, and If that ain’t yellow fever I’d
like to know what it Is.”

Clerk Rust read a report of the city
Tax Assessors for 1802, wherein they
stated that they had completed the
work of the valuation of property;
also, that several lots had not been
handed in for taxation. It Is not
known who the owners of these lots
are.
The Assessors nlso recommended
and strongly urged that a strenuous
effort be made by the Mayor and Coun
cil to have the limils of the city ex
tended; that property owners living
just outside the corporation enjoyed
all the protection and advantages that
belonged to regular tax-payers, and
that it was nothing but justice that
they Bhould pay tax. If the liuiitsare
extended a large amount of valuable
property will be liable fori municipal
taxation, and tile revenue of tho city
will be greatly Increased.

and the water-works lot. This leaves
about $16,000 still on hand to be ex
pended on the water-works system.
The constrdntion of the sewerage sys
tem will cost $40,000.
A bid of the Milner & Kettio Co., of
Birmingham, for ourb boxes for resi

From Tliiu-wliiy’nKveniro Herald.
Mr. A. J. MeCnskell, a carpenter em
ployed on the Mayer & Crlno build
ing, was badly hurt at about 11 o’clook
tins morning.
Mr. McCaskell was at work on the
lower floor of the building when a
brick fell from the third story, where
the masons were at work, and struck
him on top of the head. The lick
knocked him sonseless, ami it was
bought by those who were first to
each him that he was dead, but lie
sonn showed signs of life and after
wards regained consciousness.
The brick which struck Mr. MoCas-
kell was knocked off the scaffolding
above by the foot of one of the ma
sons. Tlie way between tlie Interven
ing sleepers was clear, and it fell with
full force nil Mr. MoCaskcll’s bead.
Evidently the man’s head was turned
so that the lick was a sort of glancing
one; for if the brink had bit him
squarely, coming from such an alti
tude, his skull would Imve been
crushed in.
The Injured man was carried across
the street to Dr. Hugo RoblnBon’s of
fice, where be received prompt medi
cal attention. At-thig writing be Is

skull, and the extent of the injury has
not yet developed.
