DE CisSEY ACQUITTED.

His Accusers Forced 10 Confess That Their
Charges Were Prompted by Malice
Great Tumult In tho Court.
PARIS, Nov. 26.--In court yesterday not q
single proof in support of the reasonable
charges made against Gen. DeCissey was
produced by defendants, and Rocheford
himself admitted the sole object in printing
his virulent articles was to secure parlia-
mentary inquiry. When Rochefort made
this cynical avowal the indignation of the
people assembled in the courtroom exceeded
all bounds, and it was with difficulty that
President Garden succeeded in restoring or
der.
In the De Cissey libel case to- day Laisant,
one of the defendants, accepted the response
bility for the articles in Petit PartSien, and
admitted in evidence witnesses of Gen. De
Clssey. Laisant's request that the court
adjourn for week in order that he might
produce witnesses was rejected. The counsel
for prosecution dwelt upon the glorious
services of De Cissey, and declared that his
accusers were prosecuting in him the soldier
who was first to enter Paris during the reign
of the commune. This was received with
cheers in the court room, and tumult fol-
lowed. in consequence of which the sitting
was suspended and the hall cleared. When
the setting was resumed the president of the
tribunal censlred members of the bar for
participating in this manifestation of feeling.
The counsel continued the argument, and
sought to demonstrate that the charges made
against De Cissey were absolutely unbound
ed. Counsel for the defense followed, and
at the conclusion of his speech the trial was
until tomorrow.

Meeting Of the Board Of Public Works

ST. PAUL, Nov. 10, 1880.
Board met at 3 o'clock F. NJ.
Present-Messrs. Koch and Mr.. Presi
dent.
Absent-Mr. Harrington.
Minutes of last meeting read and ap
proved.
The Street Inspectors reported the num-
Der of men and teams employed in their re-
spectiye districts the past week, where en-
ployed, and the cost OF the same. Placed
on file.
On motion the Clerk was directed to mott
fly Messrs. John Larkin and Nicholas Wa
goner that their services as inspectors of
sidewalks will be dispensed with for the
winter, after the present week.
The Fifth Ward member made the follow
ing report, which was adopted, to-Wit:
To the Honorable the Common Council of
the City of st. Paul:
The Board of Public Works have had
under consideration the order of the council
adopted August "a, 1880, with reference to
Strengthening and widening Burr street as
proposed on the accompanying plat.
While the board consider it very desir-
able improvement, and have no doubt that
the power is vested in the city government
to condemn the land in blocks and which
may be needed for the purpose indicated, we
do not think that we have any right, power
or authority to compel the owners of the
lots on the opposite side of the street in
blocks and to take aud pay for the lands
corresponding in value and quality with
those which would be condemned,) unless
they voluntarily consent to do the same.
For the purpose of consummating such
an arrangement, in the interest of property
owners as well as in behalf of the public
welfare, we invited a conference of land
owners on both sides of the street, which was
largely attended. and the sentiment of the
parties interested was unanimously against
the proposed improvement. The board are
therefore compelled to report against the
proposed widening of the street.
Order of Council to Board to repair the
two-plank sidewalk on Dakota avenue from
The end of the bridge to Sixth street, in the
Sixth ward, was referred to the Street In
spector to carry out.
The Clerk was directed to give the first
assessment notice for sewer on Sibl ey street,
from Third to Fourth street; also, for sewer
on Eighth and Cedar Streets, and for the
extention of Burr street south to Collins
street.
Adjourned. GEO. L. BECKER,
President.

Capt. Beamish, magistrate of Cork county,
has written letter to Forster stating that
he has received a threatening letter, and has,
therefore, sought the protection of the police.
He says his object in writing to Forster is
that if his death should be added to those of
other landlords who have been murdered
since the present government came into
power, it cannot be pleaded that it was either
justifiable or took place because government
protection was not called for in time.
