IT has been nearly six months since
our esteemed contemporary, the Ne,c
Era, first vouchsafed the apology for a
bill of $211.5O, paid by Commissioners
Coble and Bushong, for blanks used in
the quarter sessions Office, that the pay
meDt of such bill by the county was
made in accordance with a judicial
decision" We have repeatedly asked
to be referred to that decision, thus far
without eliciting anything more judicial
or decisive than Clerk Urban's allega-
ton that Judge Livingston checked off
for him certain blanks on list which
the judge said that the county ought to
pay, and that he told Bushong the COM
missiOners would ''make no mistake" in
paying this bill of S2l1.5O. The board
of county auditors, who have been in
quiring into this matter, as we'll as into
many other abuses in the courthouse,
pointed out repeatedly in this journal,
are understood to he about concluding
their labors. If anybody can furnish
them with Judicial decision Justify
ing that Sol1. 80 bill, or the 81 500 paid
McMellen as Every liberal cOmpensa-
tion' for rearranging the prothOno-
tary's papers, or the big bills of Barnes Il
Huber for bill files, such apOlogist had
better he getting in his justification
very soon. Otherwise the public will
anxiOuslv wait to learn whether the au-
ditors take the same view of this Every
liberal compensation to the johbers as
the Judges have taken.

THE Y. M. q. A.

A Project to Wipe Gut tho Debt-The Excur-
sion season.
A scheme adopted some time ago to re.
lieve the Y. NJ. e. A. library of . debt of
$1,000, with which it is burdened, is SLOW
ly but steadily progressing. The plan is
to place the entire property owned by the
association in the hands of trustees,
and raise the money necessary to
pay the debt by subscription. About
one half the sum necessary has been sub
scribed, and circulars setting forth the
proposed plan have been addressed to
leading citizens, some of whom have hand
somely responded. It is hoped others
who may feel an interest in tho cause, will
be equally liberal. No subscriptions will
be regarded as binding until the whole
amount shall have been subscribed.
In view of the foregoing arrangements
the Y. NJ. C.. A. will not run their usual
excursion this year, but d. G. Haverstick
and Robert Clark have made arrange
ments with tho Pennsylvania railroad
company for special excursion to Attain
tic City on Thursday the Sd of August.

Ogemaw county bids fair to become
one of the best Nheat-growing sections
in tue State. This is about the first
year fair test has been made, hereto
fore potatoes, oats and hay being the
principal crops raised, and this owing
to the great d,mand for such produce
here in the lumber camps. Hay and
potatoes have always brought high
prices and a home market. Last fall
considerable wheat was sown, and now
when the harvest is Overland the farm
ers are threshing their wheat, they are
happily disappointed at the yield. a.

Attempt to Wreck a Tram.

PITTsBURG, August 1S.-A most dastardly and coldblooded attempt to wreck train was made last night at the first trestle this side of Ale quephi station, on the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad. At Allequephi yesterday there was a picnic which was attended by some thousand of men, women and. children. On the return train, going at rapid rate, just before entering the first trestle, the engineer discovered a large beam lying across the track, and the dis covery was made just in time to en- able him to stop the train. Had hs attention been attracted in another direction the train would have been thrown to the ground below, dis tance of forty feet, there would have been a terrible loss of life. Who put the obstruction on the track or the motive is, of course, unknown.

RED BLUFF, Cal, August 1S.- This place was visited last night by a very destructive fire. The burnt dis trict comprises three blocks of the best business section of the town. No lives were lost, but there were several mishaps. The total loss will probably reach $2S0, ,000; insurance $15O,000. During the fire footing was indulged in by number of per. sons. Four Chinamen and four white men were arrested for plunder- ing, and are now in jail. The work of rebuilding will commence as soon as the insurance is adjusted.

\ Bnr-room Row at Fresno.

FRESNO, Cal, August 1S.-A diff fculty occurred here to-day in the Bank Exchange saloon between two young men named J. P. Hensley and w. J. Brown Hensley drew pls- tol, when Brown sprang at him and grasped the weapon. A struggle en- sued, during which the pistol was discharged. The ball struck Brown in the thigh, but its progress was stepped by s20 gold piece in his pocket and no injury was inflicted. Brown wrenched the weapon from Hensley's hand when the latter turned and fled. Brown fired shot which struck him in the back and ranging upward and forward passed through the right lung. The wound is dan gerous. Brown IS in custody.
