The board of Mayor and Aldermen have
attacked the contingent fund and depleted
it to the tune of S10,035 plus the unknown
amount for the Cleeyes monument. The
gross attack in the lower board amounts to
$2,S25; but $1,000 of this was proposed by
Mr.. Prince, who acts with the minority, and
$50 by Mr.. Burleigh, who also is of the mi
nority. 1t appears, therefore, as matter of
fact and record that the account between
the Mayors party and the party of ''the ma
jority of the lower board'' with regard to the
attacks on the contingent fund stands thus
Attacks by the Mayors party amount to 81 q 5eo
Attacks by the majority OF the lower
board amount 10. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 800
But the Mayor vetoed the caterpillar order
and the order for clock for the Common
Council room. The account of actual de-
pletion of the contingent fund stands as fol-
lows:
BY the majority of the lower board. -
There is something to be added to the ag-
gregate charged to the Mayors account,
namely the item of appropriation for the
Cleeves monument, when it is ascertaiued
But the figures given show how utterly with
out justification is the effort of the Mayor
friends to charge extravaganza on the Re-
publicans Of the lower board. Their record
is clear and good. Let the Mayor look out
for his own. If the Republicans of the low
er board have failed in anything it is in not
stopping the Mayors extravagant proceed
ings. They never ought to have CONSENTED
to his schemes for having city work done by
the day, policy which is not confined to the
Chestnut street schoolhouse job. 1t is a
wasteful policy and the Mayor makes it
serve his political ends much better than it
serves the public interests. The safe, eco
nomical and business-like way is to have the
work done by contract after competition.
The reason the Mayor does not like the
majority of the lower board is because they
effectually prevented the carrying out of bis
political deal in the city Offices. They pre-
vented the discharge of competent officers to
make places for personal supporters. They
prevented raising the pay of the police force.
They served the public interest in op-
position to the Mayors interest, and unques-
tionably he would be glad to make them obi
GUS by charging upon them the extrava-
gances and delinquencies for which he is re-
sponsible. But he will not be able to do it.
He will have to carry the load himself, and
we shall take care to expose any sneaking.

REVIVAL WORK.
Good Interest Manifested at Fietcher-Place
Church-Mrs RObinsOns Sermon
Last Night

The revival services which began at Fletcher
place Church on Sunday evening last, under the
leadership of Mrs. l.. O. Robinson the we'll
known evangelist, are being attended nightly by
good congregations, a number having been to
the altar and some ten more conversions
reported Great interest is manifested in the
WORK, and it bids fair TO continue for some time.
Last night Mrs Robinson preached from the
text: Whatsoever a man sOweth that shall he
also reap" She said: No man sows wheat and
expects to reap barley The seed sown is what
man reaps. But the devil persuades men that
they can wild oats for years, and reap
good crop at the end of the race. We are all
seed-sowers. What shall the harvest be4 The
child prattling at the mothers side is taking in
the seed sown by the mother, and what will the
harvest be that is reaped AT the end of the
child's lief And the father that sOws the
DEVILS seed in the heart and mind of his child
will in the end reap the harvest the devil gives.
Jacob the patriarch, sowed to deceit and
triekery, and in the end the wall goes mp from
his heart that the days of his life have been

The Henderson insurance Fees.

The argument began yesterday in the case of
the State ex rel. against ex-State Auditor Heud-
erson, involving the constitutional right to col
lect under Indiana laws from foreign insurance
companies operating III the State the same fees
which they are required to pay in the State
where the company was organized. The case is
one Of considerable Importance to insurance
companies, and is being argued by a number of
the most eminent lawyers in the State.

4 Victim iOflnieI importance.

Last evening, a man who was appar'
entity under the Influence OF a narcotic
was arrested and taken TO the hall by
ot1ic er White. His actions indicated
that he had taken audanum. and DR..
Grimshaw was called in He admin
istered an antidOte, and ordered that he
shonld be kept moving, and not allow
ed to go to sleep. The unfortunate man
WAS walked up and down the corridor
for some time, and finally became so
much better that he was allowed to rest
1t was, however, ascertainrd that he
was suffering as much from whisky az
landanum, and his morning he was
charged befor Judge Cummins with
drunkenness. AS he stood in the dock
he was certainly and object of pity.
He was trembling from head to foot
with the premOnitory symptoms of
ielrium tremens, and with the tears
coursing down his cheeks, he begged
the Judge in piteous tones to let him 20.
When the officer stepped on the stand
10 give an account of the arrest, he
almost shrieked "don't let him testify
against me; done it, ri admit every
thing, and its hard to tell what phant-
a,y the demon Of intemperance was
presenting to his disordered imagina-
ton.
He gave his name as Patrick O'Neil,
and said he came here from Havre de
Grace, and, feeling sick, had drank
some liquor, and then taken laudanum,
and he guessed he had taken too much.
He again plead TO be sent to the hospi-
tai and the Judge imposed fine Of 80
cents and costs, but it is probable he
will be taken to the almshuuSe.

rns mari. Family Re.up,en.

We have already referred TO the re-
union of the Maris family on the 25th
instant near MOOrton, Delaware(Ounty,
Pa, that being the 2OOth anniversary,
of the landing Of the family in this
country. The West Chester Local
News, referring the second time to the
re- union says:
Our townsman, Prof. Geo. l.. Maris,
is busily engaged preparing family
history to read on the day above named,
and in its preparation he finds his
.abors pleasantly stimulated by coming
into possession of facts hitherto un-
known TO him, and all of them closely
associated with the rise of this we'll
known family in this country.
Hon. John NJ. Broomall, of Media,
has prepared and will read a paper
devoted to the Descendants of George
Maris," which, we learn, will be an
elaborate and interesting feature of the
occasion. Jared Maris, residing beyond
the Mississippi, has entrusted to his
charge the preparation of a paper,
entitled 1.-THE Maris Family in the
West, and Clarence Maris, residing
in Europe, will take his kin of "The
Name in Europe.
These four papers will be the lead
ing ones of the reunion, and doubtless
there will be a large number to find
classification under the head of" Con.
tributions," together with imprompt.l
remarks from a number who may be
led to say something under the pressure
of the day and its associations.

ROnlOrS of a Duel.

NEW YORK July j.-Accorling 10 ru-
mors which have been spread abroad,
it is believed by some persons that Mr..
John Annoy Knox, the editor and
part proprietor of the Texas Sittings,
and MIR. David b. Sheahan, a sculptor
having studio in the Star Theatre
Binding at Broadway and Thirteenth
street, are seeking each others blood.
1t is said that on Tuesday night
Knox, who has been sitting to Mr..
Hhpahau for his portrait, gave a little
dinner at MOretti ) restaurant, on -Four
tt,enth street Sheahan is reported TO
have made nnconpliinentary remarks
concerning England, and when rehuktd
by Knox, TO have included Texas and
Texans in his denunciations. Accord
ing to the story, the lie passed, chaI-
lenge was made and accepted and
seconds were selected
Wherever inquiry was made to-day
for Knox and Sheailan the answer was
that they were ont If town. The places
which were locat d 10y rumor were as
numerous as the suburbs of New York.
When search was made for the friends
who were said to have been chosen tc
act as seconds it was found that they
also were invisible.
The police protessed to know nothing
about the movements of the du"hsts,
and seemed 10 think there was very lit
tie danger of duel being fought. This
evening the rumor was circulated II

met on Long Island and had there
fought the duel, the former receiving a
flesh wound in the arm. 1t was impos

large as goose eggs. Mr.. H. says in

by James W. Murphey, who has been
very successful in raising potatoes, and
he is satisfied that he will have a Ihrge
yield. The ground was given "A liberal

used, and the rows run east and vest
Mr. H. thinks that there are few far
mers in that section who can produce
larger tubers, whatever those Of South

day Chief Engineer II. I. Douglas, OF

to he propo ed construction by the
Rair, al Company Of the bridg, over
tn SusQuehanna river under the act
of 1882, chapter 223.
Although there has been no objection
so far made to the contemplated bridge,
th,. board thinks it but proper that an
opportunity should be given the people
affected by the bridge at Port Deposit
to appear before the board and state
their objections, if any they, have as 10
the construction of the bridge. The act
of 1882, chapter 223, provides that before
constructing any bridge to cross the
Suscuehanna river or tidewater canal
the project shall first receive the appro'
val of the board of public works.
Engineer Douglas object in meeting
rhe board yesterday was tosubmit plans
to the board for its approval, SO as to be-
gin at once the construction of the
bridge. 1t is proposed that the bridge
be located at Watson's Island. 1t will
be of iron, 30 feet above high water
mark. and will be continuous, thereby
obviating the necessity of draw.
The board declined to take action to,
day, hut decided to invite prominent

hear their views about the construction
of the bridge. 1t is stated the board
will definitely settle the matter heX'
