Show the nmm KICK. The Soldiers Under Commodore Lyon Decline to be Led iato the Jaws of Death. BLAZER LANGUISHES IN JAIL The Clever Adventurer Held to Await the Action of the Grand Jury-Police Jury-Police Pickings, Tho recent entombing of Frank Simpson and tho team ho was driving at the grave! banks is yet a matter ot I gossip among tho prisoners and officers who command them, and there is a probability that the city has trouble on its hands. Tho utilization of these immense im-mense beds of sand and gravel for tho purpose of improving the condition of the thoroughfares is something to which no one will object. They do object, ob-ject, however, to having the material mived no with human life anil blood and unless Commodore Lyons can do-vise do-vise some different system of undermining undermin-ing them the workihg ol the chain gang had best be placed among tho back numbers. Tho subject is one that, seems to grate upon the sensitive feelings of tho commodore, but the effect is not half so harsh in that, quarter as it is to a horrified community com-munity who will decline to believe that a penally of $5 and costs implies that the unfortunate wretch shall be driven into the jaws of merciless death. At present there is a probability of such disasters as that which interrupted the work on Saturday last being repeated at any stroke of the pick and the only remedy lies in working the beds on a proper angle from the surface. Tho prisoners declare that they will not work in tho locality until this is done, and humanity will support them in that attitude. Folloa I'irkinfi;!.
