RI. Reeves-Mr. President: There are
times in the the life o fevery mar when the
performance OF duty becomes a most pain
full service; and l confess to you, sir, and
members OF Council present, that in no
time in my life have ever l engaged in the
discussion OF a question with more sincere
regret than ! have when this subject Of
tho behaviour or conduct OF the Collector
Of Water Rents hasibeen spoken OF in this
Council.
Sir, / am now surprised above measure.
| said in this Council sometime since
when his malfeasencc was discovered and
when he was driven to the wall and no
escape, that he should present q bill
againstthc city OF Wheeling to cover up a
deficiency OF 81 ,500or $1,000. said then
l was sorry for Mr.. Black, and l say to-
night that l am totally astonished at the
brazen face OF the man after having wit
messed the forebearance OF this Council,
after suffering him to take his W way
for months, after having been given
every opportunity TO show himself
an honest man, he comes in
here now and offers his resigna-
ton, when he Is the debtor Of the City
OF Wheeling to the number Of thousands,
that he should come here tootfer agratui-
tous ~insultto the Council. Why, sir, ii is
the most contemplate brazen faced per-
formance | have ever known in my life.
What has been the history Of this affair?
After having been rumOred around, it
came to this Council. Consultations were
held. His friends we're invoked, and his
friends presented themselves here for the
purpose OF having him to show q
clean face and conscience. a choice com:
mittee was appointed for the purpose OF
investigating his accounts, and he was ad-
vised by his friends to throw no obstruc-
ton in the way o the committee. He was
told it was not tho part OF an honest man,
when his character was impeaChed. But
at every step there was an obstruction
thrown In tho way OF the committee. The
Personal Assessment OF the Second District
disappeared, Herefused and refuses TO this
day to show his cash book. He has
stubbornly refused to do everything which
an honest man would have been glad 70
do. And now he offers q gratuitous insult
TO this Council. !, Mr.. President, will vote
against his resignation for these reasons.
II may be found necessary that criminal
proceedings will be the proper steps to
take. But Il II Is the pleasure Of this
Council to accept his esignaton, then sir
! beg them TO adopt this resolution:
RSolued, That the Council hereby pro-
test against against the reflections and
charges against the members Of Council
contained In said resignation.

day or two ago O'Connor made his
appearance in Owego. Berry, his
wlfe's second husband was absent
from home. O'Connor obtained an
interview with his wife: She accom-
panied him to Hornellsville. where
one OF his children was, a daughter
who had grown up and married dur
ing his absence. Berry came home
ana finding out the situation. went to
Hornellsville. He found his wife and
asked her if she would go back with
him OF if she intended to 90 with

Owego with Berry. O'Connor left on

OFFICIAL PAPER

Professor ReuleauX recetly gave a
discourse before commercial
meeting at Leipsic. upon the character
Of the paper employed in the public
offices. which he regarded as strining
evidences that the giving of contracts
to the lowest bidder eXerts an injuri-
Gus influence. The paper which is
now delivered consists almost entirely
of wood. and in the course of ten OF
fifteen years we may reasonably
anticipate that our official records.
which are of the greatest Importance
to our families. will be destroyed
through the natural process of decay.
Such a serious evil would seem almost
incredible il it was sustained by
weighty evidence. But as long us
our officials hold to their present
course. and so long as they buy only
what is cheapest. and what. rs a nee
essary consequence, is also bad, we
have no right to anticipate any I'M

rather warm and excitable climate.

retTdction. This was the duel ground.
and for tools Mr.. Cone had big
knife. and Mr.. stevens an umbrella.
Mr.. Cone weighed over two hundred
pounds. Mr.. Stevens ninetv-four
pounds only. Upon the refusal to re-
tract by stevens. Cone attacked him
with the open knife.
This was parted for some seconds
with the umbrella. although Stevens
was bleeding from cuts in the breast
and arms. Then Cone threw his
whole weight on him. and thus
brought him down on his back With
his left hand on the forehead Of his
adversary. and the knife in his right.
Cone cried out: Now you retract. or

from a sense OF safety or the big
mans generosity that he defed him.
As the knife came to finish its work.
Mr.. Stevens caught it in his right
hand. and in his left seized the right
elbow of Judge Cone. In this way
the struggle lasted until both parties
