THE DUNLAP CAsE.-A Cleveland (O.)
paper states that the Commonwealth S At
torney there has entered naolle prosequi in
the Indictment against Robert B Dunlap,
for murder, and he is now to be tried on an
Indictment with two counts, one for as
sault with intent to kill, and one for muir
der, the assault being upon his wife, who
did not die, and the murder being commit
ted upon her alleged paramour. The Rich
mond detectives have been hunting up evil
dence in the Augusta County Courts from
which it appears that Dunlap fled from the
County in 1885, having been indicted for
perjury in swearing before Mayor Trout
that he was worth certain amount of
money to 60 on the bail bond Of two women
of the town. His wife after he fled filed a
bill for divorce which was never granted.

STRENGTHENING UP BUSINESS.

Gen. Echols offered a series Of resolu-
lions providing first for better mode Of
keeping city accounts, preserving vouch-
ers, &C.; second that hereafter no new
work shall be undertaken by the city until
careful estimates are made by the proper
officer Of the cost, and the means provided
for the completion Of the work; third that
an account be made up Of all the indebted
ness Of the city, or a sort OF balance sheet
of the city's affairs, and fourth that the
Treasurer furnish statement OF the I'M
collected taxes for the last five years.
These resolutions gave rise to some dis
cussion. The first was adopted and the
chair {Mr Evans) appointed Messrs. Ech-
OILS, Bagby and German, as committee to
carry it out. The second was voted down,
the ground given by its opponents being
that the city ordinances already called for
that. and that the council never had VIOLA
ted the ordinances, though it was stated in
debate on the other side that the New St.
improvement, which was estimated to cost
$500 had cost SIS 900. The third resolution
was adopted as was the fourth. In discus
sing the last,i was stated that property
owners owed the city for paving put down
five years ago, in one case mentioned by MI.
Bagby for 1000 yards. MI. Evans said that
much of the delay in collecting that money
was caused by waiting for the decision of a
in which the latetjol Baldwin refused the
suit pavement assessment on the ground of
illegality. The suit had now been decided
in favor Of the city.

LOOSE BOOK KEEPING.

The accounts against the city were then
called I'D to be allowed. Most of them had
passed into the hands of merchants and
things were badly mixed. One account
was from prominent firm ''for 2days work
on the streets,' which of course was la
Dor account transferred. The accounts
generally had no vouchers and from one of
them merchant had sent in, the vouchers
had been removed by city officer as OF no
importance. The mode of settling the pay
roll of the city hands was called attention
to by Gen. Echols as very loose. Indeed,
pretty much all the city business which
came under discussion, seemed to have been
done in free and easy way that would put
it in the power of any dishonest man to rob
the city to almost any extent. Gen. Echols
called the attention of the council to this
carelessness.
A member-It gives a man as free
swing as Confederate Quartermaster.
The reading of the accounts was gone on

were laid aside. Messrs. Witt aud Hoge

the accounts were presented to them.
The Council adjourned until Tuesday
night.
/ On Tuesday night the Councilmet again
with Messrs. Abby, Bagby, Burke, Echols:
Evans, German, Guy, Hoge, Ker and Witt
in attendance.
The accounts were again taken up, and
one for $205 from Col. Lilley for surveys
on Augusta street, rejected, it being shown
that the greater portion OF the work was
not directed by the street committee.
In the discussion about it, Gen. Echols
remarked that there ought to be some gen
eral plan fixed ON for improvements in the
city. AS the matter stood now members
of the council might urge the execution OF
work which would benefit them as proper
ty holders without special reference to the
general benefit Of the city. While he die
not suppose any such case would occur
still the proper way was the best way, and
should be adopted.
