S,ilI another Remnant of the I'd
aCrZO0k Trial.

Our readers will remember that DR..
Howard. OF Baltimore, was a promi-
nent witness in the Cdderzook trial,
it being he who made a careful exami-
nation of the murdered man, also an
analysis of the blood found in the
wagon, besides other important labors
pertaining to the legal investigations
at the time of the Coroner's inquest.
For these services the DR.. presented
a bill of $400 to the County Commis-
sioners, which that body held under
advisement for some time and finally
refused payment, on the grounds that
it was toe large for the amount OF
services rendered. This action led DIR.
Howard TO institute legal process in
order to recover his claim and accord
ingly it as taken to the Supreme
Court at Philadelphia, where it has
rested for some time.
Friday, Commissioners Trey and
Barker, OF the present Board, and
Grimm and Wood, of the former Board,
met DR.. Howard and his counsel at the
Supreme Court room in Philadelphia,
where the matter was presented--tho
doctors clhim being increased to the
sum of $500.
After some argument on both sides,
q settlement was agreed upon which
resulted in the payment of $500 to the
Dr., and both sides paid their respec-
tive costs growing out of the affair. --

Mutilation and Then Death.

A gentleman who arrived from Maquo-
keta yesterday, gives particulars of case
of suicide that occurred at Andrew, last
Thursday, the victim being young shoe
maker named Henry Steering. The
young man was evidently insane at the
time. A few weeks ago girl with whom
he was in love, gave him to understand
that his attentions must cease, as she was
engaged to another. Steering was down
sick for several days after this interview,
and when he went to work again. he was a
changed man. Before, he was jovial and
would do his work with light heart, sing
ing and joking continually; now he was
morose and silent, never speaking unless
spoken to. On Thursday he attempted to
perform surgical operation on himself
with shoe-knife, but only succeeded in

The Shooting Society's Picnic.

The picnic at the Shooting Society's
grounds Sunday was not very well atten-
ded. probably on account of the rain Sat
urday night. Several roushs were pres
ent. The only attraction of any interest
was the rope walking by Chip Thompson,
a noted rope walker, which was heartily
applauded. He walked across wire a
distance of about 200 feet, forward and
backward, then blindfolded, and then with
baskets tied to his feet, He then
started across the wire with Ed
McEdary on his back, and
walked across all right, but on return
ing, and when about half way across, about
80 feet from the ground, John Stauback
and Nick Newcomb, who had hold of the
ropes to steady the wire, began to pull and
jerk the lines. Mr., Thompson told them
to stop or he would fall but they paid nc
attention to him, and continued to swing
the wire from one side to the others Mr.,
Thompson, not being able to walk with
the line swinging in this manner, dropped
his balancing pole and holding on to Nc
Edary dropped, and caught the wire with
his left had, raking the skin from his arm
in several places,
It'll said that afterwards Stauback, New
comb and McEdary Dragged that it was
put up job and that there was bet of s;
between them that they would make Mr.
Thompson fall.
The members of the Shooting Societ!
very much regret that Mr.. Thompson wa
treated in the manner narrated, and it il
said that they put the parties off th'
grounds, which everybody hopes was true
Mr.. Thompson proposes to give per

The outdoor festival of the Methodist
church takes place on Tuesday evening on
the pastors grounds on Park st. All are
invited.
Davenport's grove was alive yesterday
afterEe on with the German element OF Mo
line. Music, dancing, and other exercises
made up the programme.
The churches were well attended yester-
day, except the Baptist, where no services
were held, Rev, Thos. L. Borchers the
pastor being absent from the city.
The road commissioners met on Satur-
day to open bids for building two new
bridges in the township. The CONTRACT
was not awarded, but will be determined
on Wednesday. when the commissioners
meet again. The absence Of III. L. Hun
ter was the cause of the delay in awarding
the contract for the bridges.
To night the council meets in special
session when the sidewalk question will be
further discussed. 1t is hoped that our
aldermen will not forget the opening of
Division st. to the Water Power Co. S Ca
nal. 1t should be opened and that. at
once. IF the Water Power Monopoly will
not sell the right of way at fair valuation
then let our council order the opening of
the street and pay the Water Power Co.
according as the commissioners may de-
tormine the land worth. The interest OF
the city demands better protection in case
of fire, and should be paramount to indi
vidual benefit at all times. We have nc
place to land an engine in case of fire al
present from Rodman Avenue west, and
no water main. The opening of Division
street is a public necessity and public
benefit should be considered in preference
to the claims of the Water Power Co. OIL

An ordinance of this city provides that

perintendent of water works, and no water
shall be introduced into any house or place
without first obtaining from the superin-
tendent permit, on blank for that pur-
pose, stating size of tap to be used, size
and kind of pipe to be used, street, number,
side of street, etc., the full name of own
er of property, purpose for which it is to
be used, diagram of the property. etc.,
ETC., and no tap shall be driven until this
permit is taken out, And yet the water roll
shows numbers of instances where the only
information to be obtained is that the party
taking water is Brown or Smith or jenkins,

careless and incompetent mode of doing
business he receives nothing but abuse
from the friends Of the repudiated hold

people sustain him and ask him to perse

abuses and introduce efficiency and &C
countability in every department of cit
affairs.
