brought for burial to this city, where they ar
rived on Tuesday. Mr.. Altman having been q
member of the order Of Knights Templar, the
Commandry in this city took charge of his re.
mains on their arrival and attended his funeral
on Wednesday in body. The parents Of the
deceased, who reside in Ohio, and had started
from home on Saturday in hope OF watching by
the bedside of the deceased, received the sad
tidings of his death on their arrival at Chicago
and instead of prosecuting their journey to
Kansas City, came to Ottawa to attend the
funeral.
The following particulars of the sickness and
death of Mr.. Altman We find in the Kansas city

three months.
Mr. Altman was a native of Ohio. coming here

NEW YORK.

NEw YoRK, May 1.-THE fourth an
nual convention of the American Labor
Reform Lesgue opened its session yes
terday at Masonic Hall Ameng the
resolutions discussed we're the following
Whereas. Since labor is source of
wealth and CREATES all values equitably,
property holders who haye.not by crea-
ture service earned what they possess or
received it is as free gilt from rlghtiul
owners are thieves:
Resolved, That financial issue is not
contrao,ion.or expansion, but strug-
gle between usury and its victims-the
old Union saving cry Of slaye-traders in
Charleston and New Orleans reappear-
ing in the public faith and anxiety of
New York and Boston money lenders
seeking perpetual power TO fleece the
West and South, through currency
monopoly: that while any amount Of
rreeBbscks. on the delusive basis of ma
tional wealth, would only increase exist
ing insolvency and furnish no relief, it
is the natural right of individuals and
voluntary associations by stating the
marketable values. against the issue OF
currency, to provide their own money at
cost.
The managers Of the ice companies
claim that in order to cause an eeonom-
ical use OF ice, and. to prevent an ex-
haustion of the supply, the companies
have Fixed prices at much higher rate
than last year. The average price will
be seven dollars per ton and one cent
per pound retail.
The regular official statement Of the
city and county debt, issued by Comp
troller Green, shows an increase during
April Of over four million dollars.
Foreign papers brought by the latest
mails, show that the season has set in
with unusual heat all over Europe. In
Paris and London the weather at the
end Of April was hotter than it usually
is in July. There had been case of
cholera reported in Paris, but the rate
of mortality was rot unusually high.
Weston begun his five hundred mile
walk at 1895 this morning, in the Hall
Of the American Institute. James Cor
don Bennett accompanied him in his
first four rounds of the hall, which we're
made at a spanking gait. Weston ex-
poets to finish his task by eleven o'clock
Saturday next. He is endeavoring to-
day TO make one hundred aud fifteen
miles within twenty.four hours.

CITY RoNps.

Mavor Leagues policy in regard to
the city bonds, as announced in has mes
SAGE last week, strikes us rather tavora'
blv The bonded debt of the city is, say
in round numbers. 100000. The law
plainly states that the city shall not
issue and sell bonds at less than the face
value. 1t has been fair to presume all
along that the law has been complied
with. But If sny bonds have been sold
or issued st a discount the buyers were
well aware Of the fact that they were
taking risk. Those who buy bonds in
bulk are not the class to be mistaken or
imposed on by corporation. They act
.dvisedly, even when taking the slim
mes, chances. Now it msy happen that
innocent holders viii suffer more or less.
These bonds are scattered far and vide,
and are in the possession Of innocent
persons Who bought IN good faith from
second or even third hands. The prin-
eipls. however, remains the same, and IN
even these isolated cases no great injus-
tios vii be doae If the holder receives
the Price realized by the city, with
Jegsl interest on the invest
EsaL When this question goes
Into the courts it viii be competent TO
take tie testimony Of the officers form
e-lT connected with the city administra-
70. to ascertain whether any bonds
have been sold in the market at less
than fses Tslue. We held substantially
the ssus views With reference TO the
State debt Ehsre & doubt existed as
