The feeling among he city officials is one
Of simple stupelaction. They all admit
that the city is hopcles,ly bankrupt and
confess that for years it has been depend
ent ON the suspended bank Mayor viii
liam Strong yesterday gave an interesting
history of the inner working of the ring
which has been running the offices of the
city for the past twelve or fifteen years.
and which is now dissolved by the death
of its tool Mr.. Hill. 1t was COMPOSED
among others, of Joseph Fisher, L. ID.
Jarrard, Charles H. Hill, and Robert G..
Miller OF these Fisher is an outcast.
Jarrard is serving II term in the Trenton
state Prison. Hill is now in his grave. and
Miller is practically Il nonentity owing to
the developments in his trial for the mis-
appropriation of SOS. 600 of the city's funds
on which he escaped through technicali-
ty. Mayor Strong said there has probably
never been such an uninterrupted success
sion of political crimes and municipal
dishonesty aS is shown by the operations
of this set of worthless They were first
brought into notice at the time of the .;IIi
eide of city treasurer Croft six wears ago
when, without discovery until long after
$lOO,0 of the city 5 funds Disappeared
INTO the pockets Of these cOnfcdrrates
lhelr operations were the same in kind ~,
those which have been carried ON since
and since CrOft'S death the revelations
have shown that one of the most profita-
bic me; hods employed was to oStcnsiblv
discount the notes of the city at 80 cents
on the collar and divide the handsome
surplus.
The revenue of the city is S94. 600 per
annum and Its expenditures $4,000, and
TINS deficit has been going ON for many
years. A. the credit of the city was not
of the best it was necessary To employ
the services of bank to carry it on The
suspended bank was chosen entirely on
account Of Mr.. IIill's connection with it.
The Republican ring of which MIR. Hill
was the tool had first got its clutches upon
him through political manipulation They
controlled primaries and bought elections
ana the purchase money for the necessary
votes was furnished by Hill The ring
thus got him in their power. and when he
was inclined to draw back they put the
screws on by threatening exposure, and
hcncciurlh he was if the unwilling. Il not
inactive Instrument The taxes of the
city are assessed in June but are not pay
able until December !. To carry on the
government during this interim the city's
notes were issued hy the authority of the
city council. These notes were drawn at
three months date by the finance com
mittrc to the order of the MAYOR. and
were not negotiable until the city seal was
alhNcd by he mayor. When these for
nalItlvS were completed the National bank
OF New Jersey would advance the money.
Owing to the necessities of the city. the
notes for Il long time have not becn taken

The Blaine letters show that he was not
II rich man, because he was embarrassed
in carrying this loan. They also show
that Mr.. Blaine has been overreached by

Mr.. Fisher aftcrward testified that his

based them upon some remark which Mr..

The distressing results Of oyer-in-
diligence i'll poor whisky is again il
Illustrated in our town Some three
weeks ago Mr.. John Daily, who for
some time previous had been working
ING on the \. L. construction work,
but ut the time mentioned was stop
ping in town, GOT on Il little spree,
which resulted in his getting 50 drunk
that he failed to reach his boarding
house after leaving one Of the many
saloons Of the place, and lay out in
the cold all night. When we rem
ember what kind of weather we were
having three weeks ago the wonder is
that he lives at all Bat though he
still lives he was badly frozen, espec-
tally his hands When found in the
morning he was taken to Mr. Walk
cr's where he boarded and 4Dr. Gauy-
reau was called. The doctor dill all
he coald for him and has succeed
ell in saving the right hand, bat the
fingers Of the left hand were 50 badly
frozar that Il became necessary to am
put. &C three fingers II the first joint,
and this operation was performed yes
tcrday Thgrs:iayD Mr. Daily is not
what IS termed drinking man, bat
one Of Your ''molerate" drinkers, only
occasionally allowing himself to take
too much. This has indeed been u
painful temperance lecture to him.
The serious consequences Of this lit
tie spree" cannot be changed, but we
doubt very much if lie ever forget the
lesson or permits another drop of Ii
quor 10 pass his lips. Mr. Daily is a
man over 30 years of age, and it will
be Il long time before he viii be able
to 90 to work again, as his age will
greatly retard the healing process.

Fatal Accidental Shooting.

On Friday of last week, Mr. Hal
yer Halverson and Mr.. Lewis Person,
of the railroad camp just beyond the
Brule river started out for hunt
They went toward Gordon and pitch
ed their tent Friday night about FIVE
miles from the starting point. Sat
urday moaning both men took their
guns and started out to see if they
could lind any game. After going
short distance, Person who was ahead,
saw deer upon rise of ground ahead
Of him. He told his companion, and
while Mr.. Person advanced Mr. Hal
version went around the base of the
hill and came up on the other side,
Person while intently looking for bis
game, saw the bushes move and his
eye caught sight of what he took for
Il part Of the animals head or neck,
and drawing bead on it fired, but
imagine his CONSERVATION VIII n he
found on looking for his game, not
dead deer but his companion lying
dead ut his feet, shot through the
neck. Mr. Person came to town Sun
day and reported what he had done
and placed himself in the hands Of the
officers Wednesday evening the
corpse reached town and an inquest
was held on the same Thursday morn
ing, when a verdict was rendered in
accordance with the above facts, and
Mr.. Pierson was discharged from Gus
tody. Mr.. Halverson was n railroad
contractor on the \. 7. extension, and
leaves Il wife and two children we be-
iicve. His remains were sent to Min
neapolis for burial Thursday evening.
It seems incredible that such accidents
should oocIr, and yet they do all too
frequently.

That everything looks favorable
for a lively season in Superior for

about arranged for a new elevator.
One coal dock is under construction,
we mentioned another in our last to be

now we have the pleasure of record
ing still another coal dock scheme
The Hooking Valley Coal Company,
who a few days ago bought ground on
Connor's Point fora large coal dock to
be built this coming season. The
price paid for the ground was $4,000
we are told. This is III least one OF
the heaviest coal and railroad COM

At the skating rink last Satur-
day evening many fine costumes were
exhibited. The first prize was award
cd to Mr.. John Bertrand who repre-.
scented king in crown and royal
robes The second prize was awarded
TO Miss Phillips, nee VIM. Pattison,
for the best lady's costume. Wits sex
was not detected until after the award
was made or he would probably have
been counted out. as was Mr. Bert
rand's queen, who was also a gentle
man, Mr.. INsk wearing The queenly
robes, and he displayed them to good
advantage, too Both of these prizes
were very nice opera glasses. The
third prize, silver cup was given for
the most comical outfit and carried
home by Mr. Fred BishoH, who rep
resented very ''seedy' looking organ
grinder, his cold woman" being Mr..
VIM. Roe who played the triangle
and passed the hat. 1t was the best
burlesque we ever saw on the hand
organ business. The most awkward
skating was done by Mr.. VIII IIud
son, and his reward was utterly made
quate to the labor performed and the
amusement furnished. 1t was only a
bottle Of st. Jacobs Oil and half
dozen almanacs.
