THE CITY ATTORNEYSHIP.
Mr.. Denny Will Resign Next Month-The
Candidates for the Position.

at the beginning of his campaign, Mr.. Denny
decided, if elected mayor, to resign the Office of
city attorney. "And since my success" said he
piration of the year has been more forcibly i'm
pressed on me. will do it in December as l
wish few weeks of rest and for arranging bust
mess affairs before / take the Office of mayor"
His retirement from the city attorneyship has
led to difference of opinion as to the time when
1t should be done, growing out of the claims of
the several applicants for the position. Those
who want Mr. Denny to retire at once say he
should do so, because when he becomes mayor
the city attorneys Office is vacant, unless his
successor has been elected 1t is a matter of i'm
portance,that city attorney should be present
at the meeting Of the new councilmanic
and aldermanic boards, because questions
OF law will likely arise at that time
regarding the possible action of the new Demo
cratic clerk in placing w. / Ripiey's name on the
roll of aldermen, instead of James Pritchards.
Another occasion is urged in the probability of
an election Of city attorney being impossible for
several weeks, if it is put off until the new
cause there is likelihood of the two independ-
ent Republicans boiling any caucus
nominee On the other hand, the
new councilmen and aldermen say
lnsy ousAI 10 nave The power TO elecL tnlS
officer; but this is met by the claim that since
the present council and Board Of Aldermen
elected Mr.. Denny for two years as city attorney,
from the LIST of last January, the right to pro
vide for filling the one year of the unexpired
term belongs to them. If the in coming coun-
cilmen and aldermen elect it will be for two
years, and thus change the time of the beginning
and expiration of the city attorneys incumbency.
But with the present Council and Aldermen,
there is difficulty il the probable refusal of
two or more Republicans to enter a caucus for
the nomination of a candidate. This trouble
seems to emanate from George W. Spahr's can
didacy for the Office. His opponents wants Mr.
Denny to hold on until the last hour
but he is not inclined to do so. petition is
in circulation, among councilmen and alder
men, requesting him to resign before the LIST of
the year. but Thalman and Pritchard are OPP
posed to it. The candidates for the place whose
chances are well defined are Henry Clay Allen
W. l.. Taylor, George W. Spahr, VIM. Bosom.
j. E. Franklin and A. W. Hatch The Demo
Gratis in the new Council and Board of Aldermen
also wish Mr.. Denny to retain the office, as they
rely on the ousting of Pritchard. with the assist
ance of one or two Republicans, to enable them
to elect lawyer of their own party Their
candidates are Judge Holman, Cass Byfeld and
Albert Beck.

PETTIS. BASSETT & CO..
AN OLD FEUD BROUGHT INTO COURT.
Perry Tomlinson on Trial in the Criminal
Court for Shooting John Bridges.

The trial of Perry Tomlinson for shooting,
with intent to kill, John Bridges, last spring,
began before Judge Norton, yesterday afternoon,
without jury. During its progress it is ex-
pected that the whole history of the Tomlinson
feud will be brought out, as large number OF
witnesses have been summoned for the prosecu-
ton and defense.
The testimony, so far, presented facts which
We're fully recounted at the time of the shooting.
Dr. Thomas, in describing Brdgess wound, said
he counted in his cheek seventy-fve shot, and
that they were so thick in his lips and chin he
had given up numbering them. Bridgess teeth
were knocked out one half of the jaw bone car
ried away, aud the roof of the mouth peppered
liquid food and that had to be administered
with syringe. He could not say whether the
wound was of a dangerous nature, but believed
ing.
Robert Tomlinson, brother of the defendant,
for the prosecution said he went with con-
stable and Bridges to serve the writ of replevin
on Perry Tomlinson, on the night the shooting
occurred. Approaching the house, Bridges
warned him that Perry would shoot. Directly
after that Perry opened the door and fired The
witness was nearer to his brother than to
Bridges He had halter chain with him and in
the scuff1e that ensued the chain by some means
got about Perry's neck On cross.examination
he would not admit that he had a purpose in
carrying the chain with him. but supposed it fell
over his brothers neck in the scuff1e. The trial
will continue through two or three days.

ARRESTED FOR DESTROYING BALLOTS
The Charge Which Candidate Cottrell Makes
Against G. w. Hill and Charles Smith,

About half past o'clock yesterday afternoon,
Thomas Cottrell and Attorney Cropsey were
mysteriously moving about the Courthouse.
searching for Prosecuting Attorney Harding.
The cause of their anxiety soon reached the
public by the fling of an information
against George w. Hill. inspector of the
First precinct, Eighteenth ward, and Charles
Smith. They wanted these two arrested on the
charge of destroying and attempting to de-
stroy" the ballots cast in that precinct at the
election last month. Mr.. Cottrel swore to the
affidavit accompanying this information. War
rants Of arrest were at once issued by Judge
Norton, and at o'clock Charles Smith was in
the custody of the sheriff A few
moments later he gave bond for 81, 900, with
Robert Coffman as surety, for his appearance for
trial. Mr.. Hill was arrested later in tho even
ing, and gave bond in the same sum.
This action it is said, will be followed by in
formation from the same source against other
parties, and it is not unlikely that it will lead to

work he did with his little hatchet

ment will open this morning at o'clock, at the
box office. Miss Harrison, supported by strong
company of comedians. will appear in musical
farce called Hot Water" It consists of series
of funny situations into which a couple of hus
bands with jealous wives are drawn, through
the Vaccinations of a mischievous and pretty
little French actress.
The engagement of Lawrence Barrett at the
Grand Opera-house, beginning on Thursday
night is the prominent event of the theatrical sea-
son. It is two years since he has been seen here,
and his triumphs at home and abroad since then
give his appearance additional interest. He will
play "Richelieun on Thursday night 1.-THE Kings
Pleasure" and THE Wonder on Friday night,
"Yorick's Love- and David Garrick" at the
matinee, and Francesca da Rimni" on Satur-
day night This is a repertoire of drama, come
dy and tragedy, varied enough to suit all tastes
and calculated to show Mr.. Barrett at his best.
The notices of his appearance elsewhere this
year are unanimous in testimony to his popular
and artistic success. The advanced sale of seats
begins this morning.
