THE BIds SUIT.

posing the board of commissioners of the COZ
soidated debt, concerning the big bond suit re-
ceived some attention from those gentlemen all
OF whom, OF course, read the communication pub
lished In the DEMOCRAT on Monday morning
The impression made upon Col. Denis by the
reioinder is that 1t Is illogical, and does
not meet the issue, and he says that he feels
very strong on the points which shalt be made by
tho city when the suit comes up for trial; that he
has conversed with several lawyers OF distinc-
lions, and heard from others on the subject, all
of whom agree that tho case of the city 10 q pow
erful one, as the result will show. Az to Mayor
Pilsbury, he says that his name will not again
appear In public print in connection with this
euit. The address to the citizens, published
over his signsture and those Of Mr..
Brown and COL Denis as commissioners
OF the consolidated debt was intended particu.
iarly to repel the charge Of malice made against
theboard by Mr.. Layton. The Mayor and Dol.
Denis as well seem to Think in fact they cay
they 30 believe, that the object of Mr. Layton in
presenting his case before the public through
the public prints is to provoke the city TO divuge
It's line OF attack. Under the circumstances
they have nothing more to say regarding the
claim OF the city against the Southern Bank, and
will reserve their strong points until the case
comes up for trial. As TO the documents alluded

from the free school fund sthree-fifths OF that
amount, which makes total cost Of 100000 to
the people of the State for the last seven years

possible that when the accounts OF all the school

PUNISHED BY A PEELER.

A Man Is First struck I'm the Head, then
Tied in n Wheelbarrow and Taken
to Prison.
When o police officer does an act that he IL
likely to receive praise through the public prints
his name is placed at the head Of the report 10
the Chief Of Police as big % all out doors. But
when his conduct Ia not 30 meritorious his name
cannot be found anywhere in the report. This
was exemplifed last evening by q policeman of
the Seventh Precinct.
A negro named Edmond Friend was felled TO
the earth by policeman whose name has not
yet been ascertained. It appears the negro was
drunk and creating disturbance in . street car,
and as he became obstreperous the policeman
thought that the best way to get him to the sta
tionhouse was to knock him in the head first.
After the unfortunate negro had been pretty well
beaten up he was tied on wheelbarrow and
brought to the calaboose.
There were two officers present. and it seems
singular that they could not bring drunken
negro to jail without clubbing him. The negro
must have been in pretty bad condition, az the
car driver belabored him over the head with the
stock of his whip before the gallant peelers got
hold of him.

The case Of Katie R. Crane and W. W. Crane
the former charged with the murder Of her new
born babe and incest, and the latter charged with

was examined on the charge of having foully
dealt with her child
Mr.. Octo N. Ogden represented the State,
while a. @. Dibble appeared on behalf OF the
defense.
After hearing number OF Witnesses flor the
prosecution the case was submitted to the court
without putting witness on the stand for the
defense.
Judge Holmes, as soon as the case was sub
mitted to him, decided that the prosecution had
failed to prove The charge set forth in the aida-
Wit and honorably discharged The accused.
Miss Crane was, nevertheless, sent to the parish
prison in default Of $4,000 bonds to appear for ex

JONI KIPOOR.

The great day or atonement Of the Hebrews,
JONI Kipoor, was observed yesterday by our en-
tire Israelitish population. In fact, judging from
the number OF the people OF the faith who were
to be met at the synagqgues and on the streets
during the hallowed day, going to or coming
from the synagoguss, as compared with other
years we were impressed with the belief that the
festival had never been 30 universally observed
before. The twenty-four hours rigorous fasting
was broken on the appearance OF the first star in
the heavens yesterday evening, when the SER
vices in the synagogues, which had been kept up
constantly during that period, also closed.

came to the Treasurer's office often. The Treas
urer never consulted me us to whether Mr.. Bat
teno's warrants should be paid or not.
Saw MIR. Batteno inside the Office to collect
money. Never saw him inside with q tax colec-
tor when the tax collectors made settlements.
DID N0r CONSIDER II STRANGE
that an employe OF the Custom. House ehould

warrants. Don't think that common sense view
would make 1t seem that the Treasurer was deal
ing unfairly with the, public in that way, when
some would be paid at the counter and others on
the inside. II one man got $780, 600 out of $500 OOe
