II GAME OF DRAW.
In Which an 1mpeounions Spectator Drew

In Which an Impecunions Spectator Drew
it All,
A sociable little party got together Sunday
night for pleasant time and amusement.
With no fear of that relic of barbarism. the
grand jury, the proposition was made to in
dulge in small game of draw-Minister
Emma Schenck's favorite pastime. The
proposition was accepted, just for fun. Very
funny the finale, too. quartette adjourned
to one of the foremost hotels, not a thoasand
miles from the corner Of jackson and Third
streets, nor any further distant from
the corner of Fifth and st.
Peter streets, nor any more miles
away from the corner of Third and Wash
ington streets. They all got to the place,
and on foot too. The four took in another
party, who acted as spectator, not being in
funds. The four Clipped in and got into
animated play. The bank was doing fine
business, 1852 worth at least. A guileless
Minneapolis man had all the luck, and won
all the chips. He stepped up at the end of
the game to pass III his checks-this isn't a
story Of suicide, though the young man was
ruined. Opening the bank he found nothing
III it. Meanwhile the spectator, out of funds,
had left the place in funds, having rifed the
bank, when no one was looking. He was
looked after, and found in a genuine lair,
He was ready to return $3.50, all he had
left For while they we're playing for "fun''
at the hotel, he was playing for money-with
their money-at place provided for such
"business.''

Aid. Allen moved to lay the report on the
table. He trusted the mayor knew his bust
ness, and could control the police. More
over, he opposed the. ordinance because it
attem ted to deprive the police Off
cor of the exercise of his privileges
as an American citizen. That is even more
than is demanded by the President of the
United Ssates, who got there as he did. of
his subjects.
Aid. Sanborn urged the adoption OF the
report and resolution, as fulfilling all re-
quirements of the law.
Aid. Allen again urged his opposition to
the report.
AID. Grace wanted the report withdrawn
Aid. Smyth said that the ordinance pro-
posed was judicious one. It provided q
way, according to Legislative enactment, fol
any accused officer to have trial before his
dismissal.
On motion Of Aid. Grace, it was referred

engineer of the United States condemned II
as not being according to specifications.
Inc contractors claim that they have done
all required by Sewall, and constructed the
PLATFORM from his Instructions. After pt,t-
ting in the platform 1t was found that the
PED rock was much lower down-a hole was
dug by Thomas Grace and soundings taken,
and seventeen feet of sand and debris at
least was found above the desired foundation.
Iney contend that the foundation laid by
them actually cost some $4,000. They had
sixty men in eight hour relays of twenty
each baillng out water for two weeks, and
now the engineer wishes them to take the
whole up and go down twelve feet further.
From the first the . engineer. it is
claimed, has delayed the work UNREASONABLE.
1t was two weeks before he located the piers,
After this was done there was considerable
changing and fussing with the piles-the
specifications called for % feet These were
ordered. After some few were driven Sewall
thought "a feet would be long enough: then
he changed to &c feet, and then So! After
the 36 foot piles were obtained at great ex-
pense and driven, more standing out of the
water than stuck into the gfound, Sewall re-
turned to the 20 foot pile, and then 26 foot.
and ultimately "a foot. and to cap the eli
max the specifications say the piles shall be
cut off two and a half feet below low water
mark, and Sewall wants them them to
dredge out and cut off five feet below. In
the stone quarry Sewall and the contractors
have come to a misunderstanding the form
er condemning stone which the latter think
perfectly good. The contractors, however,
are quite willing for him to have his way in
this, as men may iHer in opinion as to
quality of stone, and they wish to do the
work SO as to defy any reasonable objection.
The contractors have no doubt that had il
not been for the delays the piers would
have been built within the specified time.
The one pier which has been idle since Sep
TENDER 2, could have been built by this time
the contractors saying they could build 81,
feet per day. They think it is just possible
even now to get two piers ready on time. but
the object which the commissioners profess,
eddy had in view when they let out the con,
tract has undoubtedly failed-the bridge will
not be built within the time, and then look
out for law suit and more expense. The
contractors of course will save themselves
behind Sewall's laundering and bungling
and besides they are not little afraid tina
at the end of November the commissioner
will take the matter out of their hands, be-
cause no man could then 90 on and finish
the work at SIS per yard more than thei
contract price.
