Governor Yarmouth yesterday issuet
an order suspending Geo. f. Bovee, Sec
retary Of State, and appointing F. j, Her

discharge tho duties Of the Office until thl

IN promulgating knowingly, wilnlly

posing upon the people of the State rs a

half q million bonds for that purpose. An
ordinance was also introduced to lease
the Water Works to the City Water
Works Company for twenty-five years,
and authorizing the parties to mOrtage
the works for two million dollars. In
discussing the measure to lease the works,
