On rceonyening, tue question OF paying
Sweeney & Son $225 for now pump at
the Infrinary was reopened and exactly
two hours wasted. The matter was finally
referred TO the committee with power TO
act. II appears that the pump does not
give satisfaction for this reason: The sup
ply pipe from the house TO the creek, o
distance OF 800 yards, was laid about four
teen years ago. 1t was q two-inch pipe
and has become SO filed with rust and
sediment that 1t is an impossibility to suck
water through it. The new pump has
been pronounced perfect by experts, and
Sweeney & Son guarantee that 1t will work
all right il new three.inch suction pipe
is laid. Some Of tile members claimed
that the present pipe was in perfect con.
dition because the Superintendent had
dug down and looked at It; that II there
was rust on the inside the pipe could be
taken up and the rust and dirt cleaned
out with a rod and swGb as man cleans
his gun, and by doing this, the expense oil
new pipe could be saved. These astute
members feared that the fault was with the
pump and hesitated about paying for 1t.
AS before stated, the matter was finally re.
ierred TO the committee again.
II. NJ. Russell, Esq, presented a bill Of
$50 for services in connection with the
county's vote on the Mt. VIC. & w. road
subscription that was ordered paid.

CHARGES AGAINST OFFICIALS.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Nichols, was
adopted providing that hereafter no charge
against any county official should be en-
tertained by the Board, except the person
making the charge give bond to protect
the county against loss.
Mr.. Nichols moved that John w. Nc
Cullough bs removed from the position OIL
Road Surveyor in Richland district on &C
count OF inetiiciency. The matter was re.
ferred to the committee on Roads and
Bridges.
/ Mr.. Peterson offered resolution that
kicked up one OF the most amusing and
childish exhibitions that has occurred in
the Court House for long time. 1t was
TO the effect that Mr.. Boring be placed on
the Committee on Roads aud Bridges in
place OF MIR. Stocker, and stated that
this was on the request OF Mr.. Stocker.
| There was u regular rumpus ut the
meeting at which the makeup OF the COM
lnittees was announced, and it was re-
sumed in mild way yesterday. Every
one wanted to BIO chairman apparently,
and as this could not be, there have been
sore heads since. Mr.. Boring, the Oldest
member Of the Board, both in years and
in tho way OF continuous service. was
placed on only 0necommittee, whileall 9th.
ermembers, newas well as old; were placed
on two, and In several cases on three
committees. OF course Mr.. Boring was
shot" over this slight, and did not hest.
tate to say so. St0cker, who was on three,
offered TO 60 OF helinance or Roads and
Bridges and give Boring chance to be a
little more prominentSand draw o little
more per diem for committee work, but at
the last meeting StoCker, who had got
mad al something that had been said
about him by the press, refused to 60 oil
the Finance Committee.
Mr.. Peterson stated that he offered the
resolution understanding that Mr., Stocker
was willing TO go OF Of the Road and
Bridge Committee; Stocker said that
whatever the Board might do, he was no
"kieker" and would abide by it. Boring
made o trembling appeal for himself and
Peterson aided him. atr. Pickett, as usual,
spoke several times on the question and
finally amended by substituting Finance
for Roads and Bridges. This was lost. Bor-
ing, Delbrpgga, Peterson and Pickett voted
for 1t and The otheFs, including Stocker,
againstit. The original question coming
up 1t was lost by a tie VOTE. sir. Stein
voting for it. Boring aud StoCker each
time voted for themselves.
Tie Tesalb left Boring still on his one
committee. He looked mad enough to
bite nails. Mr.. Pickett, who was not en-
tirely pleased with his distribution among
the committees and who had several times
referred sarCastically to the Commit tee on
Printing Of which he is Chairman, now
moved il.at = committee Of five be up:
pointed to get up geS committees for the
Board. The motion was lost, and the
Board reluctantly adjourned.
