Fidelity Recognized.

Six years ago this month the great
temperance revival was commenced III
the City Hall here, and among those
who took solemn pledge of total alb
stinence for life was Mr.. Joseph Cash,
a prominent member Of the Fire De-
partment and a candy maker by occu.
patton. Subsequent 10 this he was one
Of the founders Of tn" Moral Sllasion
Reform Association, and is one Of the
sevcnty-tOur Of that organization that
remain faithful to their obligation.
Monday last was the sixth anniversary
of his reclamation, and it was deter
mined by his friends to celebrate the
occasion, but owing to the illness of Mr..
Cash'S sister the ceremonies were post
poned until last night, when goodly
company representing the various or
ganizatiOns to which he is conn ctrd, aS
well as personal friends, met at his
residence, No. Alb West Fifth street,
Mr.. Cash having in the meantime been
decoyed from home by one Of those IN
the plot.
About half past eight o'clock he was
triv vial prctext, and on opening the parlOr
h''i NhS N'ls H'u'll ShIpIlStu AZ
seeing so many of his friends assembled.
Looking about him with dazed and
inquiring look on his face he was
relieved from his embarrassment by
Henry W. Morrow, and stepping
forward ,prrsentingto to Mr. Cash,in "A heat
speech, beautiful haii cloth lounge
from his temperance friends, gold
chain and hunting. case watch from his
wifr,and large-tramed photograph Of
a deceased friend, from the wife of the
friend.
TOO full for utterance, Mr.. Cash, with
brief thanks, called on Mr.. X. Luton,
who responded in fitting terms. After
a friendly chat, the company were in
vited to the dining room, where several
large cakes, tlanke'l by profusion OF
confectionery, etc, were served to the
guests. AT II late hour they retired to
their several homes, all wishing Mr..
and Mrs. Cash much happiness, the
former well realizing how good and
how pleasant it is to shun the way Of
evil dOers" "

Tha Pallea PAY Roll.

The pay roll Of the police for the
month of April was not passed by City
Council last evening, on account Of the
refusal of City Auditor Ball to audit it.
He claims that it should be made out
from April 18th. In accordance with
the provisions of the new city charter,
which went into effect at that time. The
Chief of Police contends that 1t should
be made out the same az usual for the
past month, and rs neither seems dis.
posed to yield, the men are likely to
remain unpaid until the difficulty is
settled. The matter has been referred
to the City Solicitor for his opinion,
but as 1t is understood that he agrees
with the City Auditor, it is probable
the rolls will have to be altered TO cor.
respond with their opinion Of the law
before they are passed.

peat. He denied the charge, but the evi-
