TIE SOUTH TOWN BOARD
wero to hsve held 1 meeting yestsrd4y after
noon, but did not owing to the want OF = quo
rum. only ''Little Joe" the Clerk, aud Super-
visor 6chank being present. The former 81 ad-
journed until Monday. It Is probable that there
will not be another meeting OF tho present Board,
since it il understood that Justices De Wolf,
Haines and Hinsdae arc in favor Of letting things
1emain a. they are. An Of them ara opposed to
reauditing tho officers e1o1bitant allowances !;
and - there is no money to pay their salaries,
even If the Justices aseented, Collector Evana
st,adfastly 4efusing to deliver to the Superviaor
the S18, ,000 he has, attaching their signatures to
the bills would do no good. Besides, the matter
will soon come before the courts for settlement.
and they think on the whole, it is best to pay no
more attention to town business.
THE NORTH TOWN.
4 committee Of the Town Board Of North Chi
.cago was to have met yesterday to examine the
accounts Of the Supervisor, but none Of the
membe1s except Hammil and Rolle put. in an
appearance. Tho Supervisor promised several
days ago to leave bis books with
the Committee, but did not do it.
At the last meeting Of the Board be sid his
books were in readiness, but yesterday is re-
ported to hayo told member of tho Committee
that they were not. Putting thesc statements
together, and tho fact that the Committee bad
not been shown the books, suspicion has got
adoat that they have not beon postod up.

BENIN.

Annually, we might say semi-annually,
at every called or regular stockholders
meeting of the Valley R. R. Co.. the phan-
tom has appeared of Valley man tipping
cautiously up with huge boulder in his
hand, telling his sympathizing friends not
to make noise as he had regular dead
fall set, by which the Baltimore. & Ohio
was to be literally smashed. He would set
his boulder in position and when the time
came pull the trigger. Everybody would
rush up to the dead fall expecting to find
Keyser and Norris and Pendleton liter
ally crushed out, and would find that they
hadn't been under it at all. Up to last
week the thing was disheartening but
then things changed for the better. Mr..
Alexander Rieman was appointed to re-
present the interest of Baltimore city, and
of course, which ever way he voted would
carry the day. The phantom with the
boulder appeared promptly, and in view of
the unusually strong hopes entertained
about Mr.. Rieman, an unusually large
boulder had been prepared-nothing less
than complete dissolution with the Bal
timore & Ohio. Mr.. Rieman, quiet, re-
fined looking old gentleman, much re-
sembling in appearance the late VIM. G.
Riyes, of Virginia, came punctually on
Tuesday. His manner was mild and kind
ly, and though little reserved. he imme-
lately won the confidence of everybody,
nd the phantom was enthusiastic. Some
w nobody could remember word that
.;eman had said to indicate that he in-
teaded to vote with the Valley men, but
mysterious conviction grew upon the
mind of every man that some other man
had heard him say something Or other that
left no doubt about which side he would
vote with, and by evening the conviction
grew into certainty. The evening session
was attended with intense punctuality-
everybody wanted to be present at the
smash The man with the boulder was
we'll to the front on tiptoe. Vice-Presi-
dent Keyser, who has been generally look
ed upon as man to be feared, was regard
ed with some pity, being SO entirely ignor-
ant that in few moments he would be

defeat the resolution dissolving the con-
nection with the B. Il .. Co., was taken
up. Mr.. Keyser was called and, of course,
voted ssAye." A smile Of pity went around.
Mr.. Rieman was called. 1t was supreme
moment. He rose from his seat, and care
fully arranging his oyercoat over his chair,
voted-"Aye." Great Heavens! The
Staunton proxies broke for the door, and
a short time afterwards we're found on the
mourner's bench at the Methodist church.
An awful shadow fell upon the meeting.
They had loaded Mr. Riernan heavily; point
lin plump at Keyser, and he had blown
on. he wrong end and killed the man
with tie boulder, who lay stone dead with
the rock under his arm. And then to ag-
gravate matters he sat down amid the dead
and dying as if nothing had occurred We
have seen the saint-like Decatur Miller.
and the imperturbable Keyser, but we have
never seen anyone like Rieman before.
