A very large ticket case lias been received by ngent Ben Comfort to go In the new Union depot, to hold the Centrnl's ooupon tickets. This looks like business, but time still hangs heavily. There has been a misinterpretation of the contract between the city and Engineer Chase in regard to some work yet undone on the water-works system.

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 for Mayer & Orine, had a narrow es cape this afternoon. As he was walk ing along beside the wall of the new Mayer & Crme building n brick fell, and passing within an fnob of Ills nose, struok the ground. If lie hadbeenasee- ond quicker it would have fallen upon his head. John Is thanking his stars that he escaped with his life. “I had a genuine case of yellow fever on the boat going down to Bnin- brldge the other day,” said Buck Smith to a reporter yesterday. “Can you give me the particulars?” said the reporter exoltedly. “Well, you see," snid Buck as he went on to explain rather slowlv, “there was a 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.” the week of arrival, and free exhibi tion daily until December 25th. This is the opportunity for every Mai, Woman aid Child iff Tom James proudly informs us that the new police uniforms have arrived and that they will be donned in a few days. Tom’s description of them is as unique as it is brief, 1. e., “blue with brass buttons." The vests were not all sent, however. There won’t be any thing or anybody muoh sweller than Chief Westbrook’s crew, when these gay togs are donned about the first of next month. TnE day for the big sale of city and suburban real estate belonging to the Tift estate is near at hand. Next Tuesday, Nov. 1st, is the day. The sale will positively take place at the Court House, beginning promptly at U o’clock, and there will be no postpone ment on account of the weather. The Herald is authorized to state that if it is raining the sale will be held In the court room. A RUNAWAY THIS MORNING. A Negro Herlouelr Hurt bv it Runnwnr Mule. From WedueMlay’A Kvknino Herald. This morning, about 8 o’clock, there was quite a bad runaway on Broad street. Vol Henderson, a Negro who works From TuoAtluy’a Evening Hernia. At the regular meeting of the City Fathers, last night, a full board of Al dermen was present, Mayor Gilbert presiding. The iqinutesof the last meeting wero read and approved, and spndry small acoounts that bail been properly ap proved were ordered paid. The City Sexton’s report for Sep tember was accepted and ordered spread upon the minutes. It showed the total number ol' deaths during the month, both resident and non-resident, to be sixteen : nine colored and seven white. Tlie September report of the City Physician showed twenty patients treated, with only live deaths. A dray bond offered by Matt Laiug was refused, and the lollowing licenses were ordered transferred at tlie re quest of the persons' to whom they were originally issued: T. J. Mo- Clung. butoher, to Mrs. L. B. Nichols; T. J. McCluug, fish market, lo James Camp; E. II. Shackelford, retailer of liquors, to B. S. McCranle; S. Farkas, dray, to O. F. Tarver; Joe Wilson, bar ber, to Riehard Barber. The Marshal’s report for September showed the total number of cases dock eted, 08; convicted, 48; dismissed, 14; unsettled 14. Total amount of lines, $140.50; collected, $127; remitted, $5; uncollected, $8.50. 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. The City Treasurer’s report of the waterworks fund showed a bal ance on band of $43,847.07. The city owes this fond about $18,000 for money pnid out of the water-works fund for the private wells 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 dences and stores at 75 cents, was ac cepted. After considerable figuring and talk among the councilmen, the rate of tax ation for 1892 was fixed at one per cent. Eighty-five hundredths of one per cent, will go to the gen eral account of the oity and fif teen to liquidate the Interest accruing on the bonds. It was decided that Mr. Chase be in structed to advertise for terra cotta piping for the sewerage at once. Mayor Gilbert was authorized to of fer fifty cents per foot for the fire hose shipped here through mistake by the Fabric Hose Co., of New York, It was decided to furnish the regu lar police officers with overcoats and capes for the winter—the cost not to exceed $15 each. The Milner & Kettio Co., also made bid for small pipe. The matter was referred to the contract committee. The employment of a temporary en- 1 gineer for the water-works station was j also referred to the contract commit- ; I 8 * 1 - I It was agreed that a strong effort be ! made at once to extend the city limits, i but tin final action was taken. Alderman Jones moved and It was Mr. A* A. McCu«k«tll Struck on the llrml by n Fulling Brick nl Ike Mnyrr & Urine Building. 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 still 111 the Doctor's office and Is rest ing quietly, blit Ills condition is con sidered critical. There are no out ward Indications of a fracture of the skull, and the extent of the injury has not yet developed. Mr. McCaskell is a stranger here, having recently oomc here from some where about Thomasville. V.lllle Edun llurfool Awny After n Few Dnye lllueiia. From Thursday’,Evening Herald.
