Arranging the Archives.

We paid a visit, Yesterday afternoon,
tothe second story of that building, the
very ruins of which are stupendOus,
whore are to be found the municipal
Offices and officers Long Is the history
and many and varied are the cN-
periences ofthe city building. Mexican
Buchanan once portrayed THE melan-

answered the purposes OF theatre.
Then il became a residence and a private
hash foundry and on down 10 Its present
uses. And so it will probably exist
until il totters and falls OF Its own weight
and wOrthleSsneSS.
In the two rooms which form the
southwest corner of the upper story, are
piled the papers and documents which
constitute the archives OF the city. In
former DAYS it was customary, when
papers too thickly accumulated m the
downstairs offices, 10 carry them up

rooms. They We're not piled or ar

they laid, damp and moldy and covered
with the dust of two generations. During
the past year they have been collected,

but without system or arrangement, and
i'm that position, uncovered and un-
guarded, they have again become the
repository of almost uniathOmable dust.
Among these papers are many OF
greater or less value, papers that might

Yesterdays storm.

The heat yesterday was oppressive in
the extreme, and none but those whose

The Pic.Nic License.

The City Solicitor Yesterday gave it as
his opinion that the City Clerk was
right in refusing a license to the st. Al
phonSuS Society while the ordinance in
relation thereto was pending. lie
thought that the enactment OF the ordi-
nance before the picnic was held would
annul the license il granted. The Clerk
is accordingly jubilant.
But our German friends are still dis
posed 10 rebel and we were interviewed
bv several OF them Yesterday. They are
Of the opinion that until such an ordi-
nance is in existence, the Clerk has no
authority to take coGnizance OF it, That
il is his duty TO issue the license and
let the consequences, should there be
any. TALL upon their heads. one OF the
reasons Of the Clerk was that the time
was 50 long, but they say thatit iSneceS
sIrv To get license before they rent the
ground and make their arrangements.
They feel very sore over the matter and
are inclined 10 regard it as class legiSla-
ton to their prejudice.

A Mysterious Wife.

On "Wednesday morning a woman
presented herself before City Receiver
Todd and asked for her husOand's
money, saying she was the vile OF
Jerry Myles, one of the street hands.
Mr.. Todd asked her ii she had an order
and she said she had not, hut that
several persons about the building knew
her. Finally he paid her the SUN,
So 80, and marked on the pay rOl,
paid his wife She had hardly left
when Mvles himself came in and asked
for his money. He was told that his
wife had Just gotten it, at which he ap-
peared angry, saving he would never
see il, and not 10 10 il again
That evening, AZ Mr.. Todd was sitting
upon the front steps of his residence,
Mvles and : woman passed, and seeing
him, stopped. Myles asked II this was
the woman that got the money. Mr..
Todd looked at her closely and saw that
she was dressed differently and less
neatly, bat identified her as the person
To whom he had paid the $3.50. But
she said she was not, and Myles de-
manded his money averring that Meth
er he nor his wife had gotten 1t. Mr..
Todd refused 10 pay il again, and We
understand Mylcs has entered suit 10
recover il.

THE GAS IMBROGLIO.
The Missing Book Unearthed.

When the Council committee appoint
ed 10 investigate the affairs OF the gas
office first took charge OF the books, 1t
was found that three Of the section, or
meter, books were missing. Harry Oaid-
well applied to John l.. Maxwell LOT
them and was informed by him that all
of the books Of which he had any knowl-
edge had been turned over. From TINS
exclamation the Committee supposed
the missing books had been burned or
otherwise irreparably destroyed.
But Yesterday morning an important
discovery was made under the following
circumstances: Under the old regime
the meter repair shop of the works was
AT the Twelfth street Office, in the rear.
When the change was made this rear
room was converted into an office Tor
the use of the Investigating Committee,
and tho shop was removed to the cellar.
This was found to be not large enough
for the purpose, and workmen were
employed to level the ground IN the
rear for the purpose OF extending the
shop back. Yesterday morning, while
the work was in progress one OF the
men turned something beside earth, and
an examination proved II 10 be
ONE OF THE MISSING BOOKS.
II was turned over to Major Wright,
clerk. who found it to extend over the
time embraced between October, 1871
and August, 1873. 1t was slightly
moulded on the cover, but in excellent
preservation within and will be OF great
service i'm the prosecution OF the work.
The Register for the same period islntact,
but this section book is necessary to
certify it. Major Wright informs us that
he lately discovered an error OF 10000
cubic feet of gas Over-charged, which,
however, could not have been proved
without this book, which embraces that
portion of the city lying between Twelfth
street and the creek.
IL is the opinion of the committee, in
view of the fact that the other section
books were not discovered, that these
three were secreted with some Interior
motive not yet developed, but which
NAV come out during the investigation.
The consent of the committee was OBJ
tanned to
DIG UP THE WHOLE CELLAR
in hopes of finding the other two books.
Should this happen all OF the books and
documents will be at the disposal OF the
committee, and the work OF making
complete erpOse may proceed without
delay or interruption.

That Twelfth Street Job.

During the building OF the new
Washington Hall, many persons were
attracted 10 the vicinity to watch the
progress Of the editice. and their atten-
ton was at the same time called to the
paving and grading of Twelfth street.
The absence OF any rise in the centre
was generally commented on, and Tor
the benefit of these amateur civil en-
ginecrs the iniormation.was given that it
was the "style prevalent in the Eastern
cities" But in spite of this comforting
assurance, there were many who pre-
dicted that the job would be a failure.
We have no opinion upon the subject
ourself, but from the expressions We
heard in that vicinity last evening, the
popular verdict was, that during rain
that street was delusion and fraud.
The swell at the centre OF the street
was so slight that the entire breadth was
flooded to a depth OF from inches
i'm the centre to at the sides. II was
impossible to cross at any point between
Chapiine and Main street without get
ting into water over the shoe tops.
With affairs in such state, the knowl-
edge that all Eastern cities had the same
kind of streets, was not particularly
comforting. So, if we can't use the
crossings, why, by all means, give us a
bridge.
