SATURDAY.
The deadlock In the New York police board
over the appointment of fourth inspector for
each election poll remains unbroken. The
board held two meetings yesterday, and the
struggle was maintained with an equal show of
determination on both sides. 1t is apparent
now, that nothing short OF peremptory order
of the court Will bring about the appointment
of the other inspectors. The democraticimem-
bers continued to submit lists of anti-Tam-
manyites and the republicans Just as regularly
voted them down, stating emphatically that
they would not vote for any but Tammany In
spectors unless compelled TO do so by the court.
Finally, at the meeting last night, the two re-
publican commissioners announced that they
were tired OF the farce of voting upon names
that could not be agreed upon, and withdrew
without the formality of an adjournment.
Mayor Cooper notified the commissioners
that, In consideration of the mandamus case
pending before the supreme court, ne had con-
cluded to postpone his hearing of charges
against the police board until Saturday at noon.
He had cited them to appear before him yes
terday afternoon and show cause why they
should not be removed for having neglected to
perform their duty In the appointment of in
spectors. This postponement is regarded as
retreat by the mayor from his purpose to flank
the court.
The police commissioners appeared by counsel
yesterday before the Supreme Court In answer
to the order of Judge Barrett, granted the day
before, directing them to show cause why
mandamus should not issue to compel them to
appoint the fourth election inspector for each
voting precinct. Tammany hall was repre-
sented by David Dudley Field and other promi-
nent attorneys, and after some preliminary
proceedings 1t was agreed to defer the hearing
until Judge Davis (who was indisposed) could
be present, and thus hold 1t before a full bench
1t was expected that Judge Davis would be
able to sit this friday afternoon. The i'm
preston among the lawyers, who were present
In large numbers, seemed to be that In the end
Tammany would win by procuring writ to
compel the appointment of its inspectors.

When a boy sees a nice round smooth

About a week ago some young ladies
got up a party to go on a moonlight ex-

noticed that one of the most charming

brother as he wiped some taffy off his

A MINERS LUCK
" hat the Finding ola Nugget Led TO.

A writer in the Boston Commercial
Bulletin relates the following story O
his experience as a miner in Australia
MY bulldog, although an excellent
watch and a good hunter, was anything
but a Watchdog. When l forded 6
a steam he would run around half {
mile to avoid going into the water
Many a time 1 had to drag him behind
me when l did not want to part com
pany with him in fording a river. Az
he was invaluable to me, both as q
means of procuring me pork, l was in
the habit Of giving him a sou sing every
morning, when water was available, to
preserve his health.
One morning 1 took him by the nape
OF the neck and dragged him to the
edge Of the stream to give him his
morning bath. Just as l reached the
edge of the creek my eyes fell on some
thing that cleaned in the water. / re-
leased the dog in an instant, and he
fed with a howl of relief. The some
thing l had seen cleaning was a mug
get of gold as large as my two fists. 1t
was in the exact form of a bunch of
grapes, stem, fruit, and everything
complete. A moment later 1 was wad-
ing up to the knees in the little creek
looking for more. An hours search
resulted in my finding another nugget,
a small one.
81 at once decided to ascend the
creek, for 1 was convinced that the ore
had come from its source. I followed it
up until it became so narrow and SO
shallow that 1 could scan its entire
bed while walking along either of its
banks. Although it ran through a
gorge, it had banks on both sides which
rose gently to the sides of the gorge,
leaving a wide patch. In places the
gorge widened on one side, or both.
but generally on one side; that is TO
say, one side of the gorge assumed the
form of a section of a circle. The
stream did not widen with it, but the
bank did, and in such places it was
covered with rich verdure and OCCASION
al patches of scrub.
II pitched my tent on one of these
spaces, gathered some scrub, and built
a fire. The rats were very numerous
here-the rocks were fairly swarming
with them; and the moment 1 had
pitched my tent they were climbing
and over it, like seamen on the rig
ging of a man-of-war. Nothing but
the fact that they had plenty of food to
live upon, kept these vermin from at
lacking human beings. Having eaten
a hearty meal, 1 placed my dog on
watch and descended to the creek. On
.nteriug it 1 discovered a vein of gold
running in an oblique direction across
the stream. l tried to pick some of it
out, but at every stroke of the imple-
the water splashed up in my face.
Some other plan must be resorted to.
After surveying the ground 1 came to
the conclusion that 1 could with con-
siderable effort defect the stream to one
side over the small plateau. l did so,
and what was my establishment to find
not one but three viens o. gold quartz,
all exceedingly rich. My fortune was
made. And 1 always have thought it a
good idea TO battle a dog nolens rolens."

His Policy.

From the Detroit Press.
While one of the sanitary police was
moving through the alleys OF Cass
avenue the other day, he came upon
two bad nuisances at once. One fam
lily had thrown a great heap of garbage
over the fence, and the other had dump
ed over an old mattress and two or
three dead cats. The citizen living be-
tween the two heaps came out to the
fence holding his nose, and the officer
asked:
'How long have these nuisances ex-
isted?n
sob, about u month";" was the reply.
Sand you haven't lodged a complaint
at the City Hall?"
"No.n
"Why, this horrible stencil must
float right into your house?"
Eyes, so it does; but l wasn't fixed
to say anything. This man owe here
lends me the lawn-mower twice a week,
and my wife borrows most of u tea
and coffee from the other one. l kind
er figured on it, and concluded not to
raise a row unless the mower got too
dull or the brand of coffee run down.
