A telegraph to the New York Sun

Der Both says: The spree which Joe
Emmett, the acsor, is now on will
cost him nearly $4,000, indepen-
dent of what he loses in revenues.
1t leaked out yesterday that EN-
met would not have been allowed
to play here, but that he grew OBJ
stinate and insisted on it. His
tour through Pennsylvania for the
season was to have been one of
unprecedented success. At every
place be was billed to appear
the house was largely oversold and
seats were engaged in advance. At
Easton, week ago last night, he
was unable to sing, and amused
himself making faces at the audi
ence. So persistently did people
hiss when they discovered his con-
ditien that he had to be led off the
stage. He at once began the de-
bauch that brought up in New York
a few days ago. Emmet's manager
hopes to sober him up in two or
three weeks, but even if this is
done the loss by the spree will not
be less than $4,000.

THE HOSE sQUABBLE.

In yesterdays APPEAL the pro-
ceedings of the City Trustees re.
garding the new hose furnished by
Muller & Schmitt are fully re-
ported.
It does not appear from the evi
dence so far presented, that Muller
& Schmitt have acted unfairly in
the matter.
Mr.. Muller, who is a member of
the Board, agreed to secure the
hose at cost, which was ten cents a
foot cheaper than E. B. Rail the
agent, agreed to furnish it. He
stated that he made nothing by the
transaction, and there has been
nothing to show that he does.
The claim that the hose is not
Eureka seems to have been pretty
fully refuted by the letters and
guarantee from the Chicago agent.
In the opinion of the fremen it is
the cid make of Eureka and not
the first quality of hose as now
manufactured by the company. If
this be the case, the agent in Chi
cago has acted unfairly and sent
the old make of hose to this city
under the impression that the fire.
men would not know the differ
ence. He also sent hose into the
territory of another agent; matter,
however, which the two agents
must settle.
The only way in which Mr.. Null
Ter over-stepped his duty, was in
guaranteeing cash to the Chicago
firm without the consent of the
Board. The warrants of the city
have, for some time been at a dis
count, and those who draw the war
rants must loose the discount or
wait for their pay. 1t is queer
proposition that Carson taxpayers
must wait six months for their
money, while a man in Chicago can
get the discount tackled on to his
warrant to make up the difference,
It is for the District Attorney to
say whether or not this can be
done.
