Of August lst, from Lemberg in Poland
and the ancient capital OF that country
says: A grand demonstration OF the
Slavoc race had been held there in
commemoraton Of the anniversary OF
the dismemberment of the Kingdom.
Delegations were present from every
part of the country. Immense enthu-
siasm was manifested Some fifty
thousand people went in procession TO a
mound near the city to visit the kople.cc'
an ancient memorial Of national humli-
iation. Many Russian authorities re-
garded the celebration with suspicion

The CiIy Fraud Questionable In-
Junction.
The excitement in regard to the suit
commenced against the city officials
continues today. There is great deal
OF speculation as to whether Judge Bar
nard will make the injunction perpetual
when the case is brought up for argu-
ment on Monday. There is a probabil-
| ity that before that time strong influences
will be brought to bear upon the Judge,
but it is believed he will remain firm
against these arguments, and render a
decision in accordance with what seems
to be the popular will.
The World to-day, editorially speak
ing of the Barnard INDUCTION, says: at
is to be remembered that the proceed
ings before the court were er pdrte, the
plaintiff alone having been heard in the
application, and that the injunction
holds only until Monday, when the de-
PENDANTS will be allowed hearing and
be permitted to show cause why
the injunction should not be made per-
petual."
The Tribune this morning says that
Judge Barnard's action in granting a
preliminary injunction against Con.
troller Connolly is moi wholly unexpec-
ted. Tammany is becoming more dan.
gerous as friend than an enemy, and
the cry OF its old supporters is getting
to be, STAND from under !! The honest
creditors OF the city may suffer, because
Controller Connolly has already spent
the citys money in paying unjust
claims. We believe the validity OF ten
or twelve millions OF dollars worth OF
outstanding bonds will depend upon
the issue OF these injunction suits.
Mayor Hall, in an interview yester-
day, said that the granting OF this in
Junction was one of Judge Barnards
stereotyped jokes, because all the bonds
authorized, excepting those for the
Viaduct railroad and Croton Lake i'm
provements, have already been issued
The assault will be squarely met next
Monday by corporation counsel, y Cor
man and other able lawyers, who shall
send joint committee on Monday to
examine the Controllers monthly
statement of the condition of the county
debt, together with its history.
The object of the recent visit OF Jones
and O'Brien to Long Branch was to
represent the municipal government in
such state of chaos rs to lay the
foundation for calling upon the General
Government to interfere and appoint
provisional Mayor. Mayor Hall asserts
it as his intention to fill out the present
term of his office and run again, and let
the people pass judgement on his ad-
ministration.
