The city council met last night for
their last time under the old admin
istration, and It was a busy meeting
from the first to tho last. The last
dctnll of the bower construction was
looked alter, and an ordinance was
passed by the council governing the
connections and the right to join tho
sewer, fixing a penalty for harming
the main In connecting, and Insuring
the city agalst loss from damages
which might arise from Injuries re
ceived from Improperly guarded
trenches while tho connections were
being made.
Final Sewer Report.
A report was received from tho city
englueer detailing the work and ex
penditures on the sewer In which he
placed the total cost of the construc
tion ut $48,571.50.
Klfly-slx houses are now connected,
with the system nnd many others are
waiting to have the privilege of Join
ing granted them. Kor this reason it
was thought that It would be wine lor
the city to regulate the matter of
making connections as soon ns possi
ble, so the mains would have some
protection from Ignorant workman
ship Jlr. Miller also presented the cny
v. 'th n detailed map of tho systsm
la-' night, showing the locations of
all Hush tanks, manholes and "Y"
pipes throughout the system, In or
der that In the future those who
wish to join will be able to locate 'he
proper point of connection with the
least possible loss of time and trou
ble. There was a balance of something
like $500 due the engineer for Ills lu
bors, and It was ordered that the
amount be taken from tho general
Hind and paid to Mr. Miller. This
ends the last Item In tho cost of the
new works.
Examination of Books.
Tlie report of F. V. Hendley, who
bus been at work on tho books of tho
city recorder's office, showed that all
was Btralght in that set of books as
far as money went, though the bal
ances had been thrown oft by tho
handling of tlio script account, and In
other accounts which were carried on
tho recorder's books and not on the
treasurer's. Mr. Hcr.dlcy recom
mended that a new set of books bo
opened In order to start out the new
jear nnd the new administration with
an t von balance.
The salary list of the month was
allowed and in this wus Included $30,
tl,., niinrfnu inr ilm eximrt for chuck-
lug up the accounts of tho city lo
(order's office.
Most of the time of tho council was
taken up In tho consideration of the

Young Coibett was awarded the de
cision In his fight with Kddl" llmiloli
in this city lust night.
II was the hottest fight ever wil
nessed In this city, mid llaulou was
piililsled terribly. The opinion ol
sporting men Is that Corbolt Is worse
hurt than he gives evidence of. as
llr.nloii gave K in as many bant blows
as Corbett landed on llaulou for the
fiiM six or eight rounds.
In the opening of the Kith round,
Corbett landed an awful swing on

where he lay until the referee hud
counted nine, when he grabbed Cor
bett about lite legs mid refused lo ho
counted out.
Tho referee ordeied the men lo
