The; thoughtful housewife is now busily engaged preparing for ap- proapinne winter, and we advise her Bleating of (he Board of Aldermen. The regular monthly meeting of the board of aldermen was held last night. Alderman Hunnicutt, from the cem etery committoe, recommended that the house in Mt. Hope cemetery be supplied with a new roof. Adopted. A communication from Dr. H. B. Battle, director of the State weather service, was read, asking that the city appropriate $7 for the purchase of weather signal flags to be used for the benefit of the city. It was sug gested that the signals be displayed from the water tower. Both the communication and the suggestion were referred to a special committee. A communication from the Raleigh cornet band was read, asking the use of Metropolitan Hall for one night in the last week of each month for the winter ior tne purpose ot giving con certs. It was Ordered that the hall j be granted, provided the band would ! pay all costs of lighting, heating, Ac. i A petition was read from the rent- j ers of the stalls in the city market, asking that aD arrangement of flues be placed in the market for carrying i Out all smoke now arising from vari? j ous sources in the market which, was ' very offensive. Referred to market committoe. Alderman Edwards introducad an ! ordinance providing for a committee ; on the city fire department, which should have the supervision and con trol of tho rive department, and through which all matters relating to ! the department could bo reported to the board. Adopted. Alderman Engelhard tendered his resignation as a member of tho water works committee, which was accepted. Chairman MacRae appointed Mr. C. E. Cross to the vacancy. It was ordered that the new hose reel and the new hose reel building, t'ust completed at the water tower, e turned over to the Capital Ho3e Company. Alderman Smith moved that the new fire committee, when appointed, be requested to investigate the mat ter of providing a fire alarm system for the city and report as early as possible. Adopted. Alderman Edwards, from the street committee, reported the number of horses and mules belonging to the city and the cost of maintaining the safne. It appeared that there were nine horses ,and mules wjhicb, with the drivers, were maintained at a cost of about 12,200. Five of these horses were used mainly by the fire depart ment. The question arose as to the necessity of maintianing so many horses for drawing fire engines since the completion of the water works It was stated that the Chemical Fire Company's horses were in the use of the city but belonged to the Chemical Company. There was considerable discussion in which it was suggested that when the horses were not em ployed in carryirig the engines to fires, they were engaged in doing nect ssary work for the city, and that if the city did own the horses it would bejnece6sary to hire them. It was also suggested that all necessary woik could be done with a less number of horses and that the street commis sioner had reported tbat one half the number of horses now owned by the city would be sufficient for all pur poses. i Alderman Wynne moved that the stroct committee be instructed to sell f all the horses but five. Lost. Alderman Smith moved tho matter be .referred to the new lire committee with in structions to ; make a careful investi gation of the matter and report as to tne necessity of maintaing the uum of horses now owned for lire or other purposes. Adopted. Tee matter of opening up North street was continued to next meeting. The street committee offered some new ordinances relative to making connections with the city sewer on Fayetteville street which were adopted. The street 'committee offered the following amendment to the city or dinances: "All paving done by the street commissioner on account of individu als shall at once be reported by mm with dimensions and costs to the city clerk, who shall keep an'acconnt of the same, make out the account and give it to the chief of police for col lection, who shall collect the same and pay into the treasury without charge." Adopted. Alderman J. H, Harris favored a permanent provision of some kind for the bent fit of firemen who were permanently injured or disabled when lighting lire in the service of the city.

An Exciting Scene In the Union Depot at St. Louis A St. Louis special says : One of the most exciting scenes that ever oc curred in this, or perhaps any other city, took place at the Union Depot between three and four o'clock this afternoon, and for a time created not only a tremendous excitement but great consternation among the peo ple present. During the day a special train of passenger afid flat cars, bearing John Robinson's, menagerie and circu9 people and their unimals from Fort Scott, Kan., came into the Union De pot, en route to Cincinnati where they are to winter. About half past three the train pulled out to cross the bridge, and while passing over the "puzzle switch" in tha depot yards, a flat car flew the track," fol lowed by others, and ran into a freight train on a side track, demolishing two or three cars and killing George Squires, a canvasman, and badly in juring two other circus men named Fuller and Islo. Iu the smah up some of ttTe animal cages on the flat cars were broken and a Bengal tiger, two lions, a leopard, a jaguar, an ibe and a vulture escaped. The wildest kind of a commotion followed. Depot officials and po licemen ran frantically about shout iog warnings and there was a general and quick stampede from the yards o the streets beyond. The circus md depot men then made search for the animale. The leopard wasfound crouched under a freight car and an attempt was made to lasco him but it failed, and the animal rushed from cover, bit a man severely in the leg on" his way out, bounded into the ticket office and ther, jumped through a transom into the buperintendent's office. He was besieged by the circus men, and after several at enq ta to cap turehiin and two or tLree shots be ing died at him he was covered with ii tarpaulin and secured. One Ly one the Other aniimls Were !oand and after more or lens trouble were cap tured and returned to their caes, but it was not until r early dark that the work was over and the excitement was allaved.
