THE AxIIEY HOSE HOUSE.

The Trustees Met and Awarded the Cen.
tract to Build 1.-THE Proper Way to
do Public Work Chcaply.
The Trustees Of the Haley Hose
Company met at the Office Of Hawley
& Ruick at IL o'clock, noon, to-day,
as per their advertisement, to consider
the bids for bditdihE .is hose house.
But three bids were received, As fol.
lows: F. X. Remington, $49s; H.
A. Anderson, 1895; Thomas Bell,
$S45. 1t is needless to say the con
tract was awarded to Mr.. Bell-by q
large majority. No one thought the
house would cost less than $3.50 to
$500 at least when completed, except
the trustees, who knew what the cost
ought to be, and that it would be less
than that amount. If the bids did
not nearly hit their figures, it was
their intention to hire the work done,
and buy the lumber.
This shows business sense and 50.
gacity far superior to any yet dis.
played by the Board which vas elected
by the people to manage the affairs
and finances of the county. 1t is also
commendable on the part of the trus.
tees in using the last endeavor to cut
down and save expense to those who
have to pay for the building, and
demonstrates what may be done by
men with small IT. cans and an honest
purpose.
For the same work, by the same
specifications, the trustees saved to the
Company and to the business men Of
HALEY, the neat sum of SlO3 BY ad.

est bidder, according to the figures
given. If those who have in charge
the finances of corporations and other
bodies would always work for the best
Interests Of the people with the same
laudable purpose in view, it would re.
suit in the saving of many thousands
OF dollars to taxpayers each year, and
relieve overtaxed communities from
many heavy burden.
The agreement on contract will be
entered into by Monday morning
next, and the work of putting up the
structure will commence as soon
thereafter as the citizens committee
collect and deposit their money in the
bank at the disposal of the trustees of
the Hose Company.

vaciIlatins Officials.
Special to the Globe.


WASHINGTON, Sept GA single case
of vacillation in departmental decisions has
recently come to light in a recent decision
of Commissioner Black and of Second
Comptroller Maynard, both bearing on the
same point, constructive desertion. Until
Aug. 81 the second comptroller required
that in cases where the charge of desertion
appeared against the name of soldier on
the rolls it was necessary for the claimant
forpay and bounty to have that record cor
rected i'll the adjutant generals office, even
though subsequent rolls showed the man
had returned to duty and had died in or
was hOnorably discharged from the service
on expiration of his term. Until September
and three days later it was the practice of
the pension office in cases of such nature
to permit the claimant to furnish evidence
with his claim in explanation of the record,
and to disregard that record where the man
had returned to duty and was wounded,
crippled by disease or killed during the
subsequent service. On Aug. 81, however,
the second comptroller decided that the
claimant might file evidence in the second
auditors office, explaining his absence with
out leave in certain cases where the man
had returned to duty without court-martial
On Sept. 4, four days later, the commits
sloner of pensions made decision discon-
tinuing such practice in the pension Office
and sending the claimants to the adjutant
generals office for relief.

MONTREAL, Ont, Sept. 21.-The Cana
dian Pacific authorities have for some time
entertained suspicious that they were being
victimized by their civil engineer and con-
tractors on the section north of Lake Su-
perior \ month ago all payments to con-
tractors were stopped and a remeasurement
OF the different sections ordered. This has
Just been completed, and it shows that by
blunder or fraud the company has paid
to its contractors hundreds Of thousands of
dollars in excess OF the amount of
work done. One contractor alone has been
paid more than S100, 600 too much, another
$1,000, the full amount aggregating half a
million dollars. Detectives have discovered
that engineers who have been receiving
500 per month were extensive land owners
and were engaged in extensive building
pursuits, some OF them being worth from
$50, 600 to $40, 900, which had been accu-
mulated in a wonderfully short time. 1t is
stated that criminal and civil proceedings
will be instituted. Many of the contractors
employed have retained leading counsel to
defend them, who will plead that the re-
measurements are incorrect.

Assaulted a Young Girl.


New YORK. Sept. 21.-Mrs. George
Hayward of New Brighton, l.. l., was
passing along a small tract of woodland,
near Silver lake. back of that village, on
Friday. when she was startled by hearing
child moaning near by. The means led her
80 clump OF thick Shrubbery, and there
she found a girl about II years old, who
had been =agged so that she could not make
any loud outcry. The child was too weak
TO stand. Mrs. Hayward cut the gag
loose and inquired what had hap
pened, although the condition of her

Allen, and that she had been watching
some cows for Mrs. Davis. who sells milk
for the support of herself and two little
girls she had adopted. Mrs. Hayward
helped the girl home. She was unable to
tell who her assailant was, except that she
thought he was coachman. She said she
was watching the COWS when he came along,
and, after asking her if she would show
him the way to spring of
water that he might get drink,
had caught her in his arms and
smothered her cries by clapping his hands
over her mouth. He gagged her and
finally left her in the clump of bushes
where she was found. Mrs. Davis is quite
old. she said to-day that she was often afraid
to let girls watch the cows for fear harm
would befall them, but she had no one else
and had to ask them to do so. They were
good girls and did everything she asked
them to. The neighbors speak well of Mrs.
Davis, but they do not think it right that
children who watch cows should be exposed
to such danger. The police had not been
Informed of the affair to-day and no one
had attempted to find the man who COM

tragedy occurred last night at Silver Greek,
a mining village eight miles east of this
city. Patrick O'NeiIl and his wife, Sarah
lived with an old woman named Bette kief
The man and wife had constant quarrels
and Mrs. O'NeiIl blamed the Old woman,
who was her husbands aunt, for being the
instigator of the domestic troubles. Yes
teriay was an occasion Of general carousal
and disturbance at Silver Creek, and in the
evening the bulk of its people were drawn
to one end of the village by row. Old
Mrs. Kief was in bed and Mrs. O'Neill
took advantage of the opportunity, dragged
the old woman to the floor and severed her
head from her body with an AK. Mrs
O'Neill was drunk at the time and when az
rested did not deny the crime. She was

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 21.-J. L. SuIli-
van left New York on the 6:1O tain last
evening in company with Lester & Aliens
minstrels, which open in Harrisburg to-
morrow. A big crowd gathered at the
Courtland Street ferry when the pugilist az
rived. He had to force his way through
the crowd to get into the ferry house, and
hundreds Oh the curious embarked on the
ferryboat to Jersey City to see him off on
the train. He is to receive $500 week for
his statue business with the minstrel COM
pany, and promises to keep himself
straight during the engagement. He
said tonight: 'I haven't any real
challenge to accept; anybody who knows
me and McCaffrey knows that he wouldn't
have any show with me with bare knuclsles.
It's foolish to talk about our fighting. If he
would stand up and fight me I'd settle him
in one or two rounds. Of course, as
dodger, he's clever. nobody denies that, but
to fight to finish, pshaw, its foolish to
talk about. l am sick of talking through
the newspapers. I'm misquoted and
charged with being beastly drunk when Pm
sober. Of course [ drink, of course know
my power as a pugilist. There may be a
better man than l, but where is he? I
simply claim to be champion because have
never met anybody who can whip me.

give up my claim to the championship.

Signs OF Revolt in macedonia.

LONDON, Sept. 21.-The Petite Bourse
of Paris is agitated over reports that an in
surrection is imminent in Macedonia il
favor of union with Bulgaria, and that an
advance by Austria upon Salonica, in con-
nection with a Russian occupation of the
Bosphorous, is probable. The Philabo. a
Turkish journal, advises the Moslems to ac-
cept the situation. The Conservative pa
perS accuse MI. Gladstone of knowledge
and completely in the conspiracy to cause
the rising and assert he is in communication
with the Russian and Bulgarian leaders of
the revolt. They comment on the signifi-
cance of the revolt occurring on the same
day as Mr. Gladstone's manifesto, claiming
the influence of England would support the
infant liberties of the small Eastern states.

likely to embarrass the Marquis of Sails

Would Like TO See a Divv.

CpcCltil W lIl0
New YORK, Sept. 21.-Mr. Lanterbath
of the Pacific Mail Steamship company said
to-day, in regard to endeavoring to bring to
an issue its controversy with the postmaster
general, ''Mr. Villas refused to divide the
$4,000 900 subsidy between the American
Steamship company, but it is not true that
we have not been carrying stamped letters
since the postmaster general refused to
divide the subsidy, and that we have been
carrying mail only for the accommodation
of merchants. The japanese government
pays S400, 900 per year to this company for
carrying the mails to and from San Fran
cisco, and with that amount we could carry
the United States mails without much ad-
ditional expense; but my visit to Washing
ton was for the purpose of giving the
department sufficient notice that we
could not continue in the service of this gov
ernment at the rates now paid. | asked
Mr.. Villas if he was doing the public bene-
fit. He answered that he thought he was.
This government is now making 50, 900, 600
per annum On its ocean mail service. 1t
would seem more business-like if land SER
vice should be made to balance the gain on
the sea. The position of the government is
fully explained in this way. The head Of
the mail department knows that various
steamship companies are paid by other gov
ernments to carry the mails, and he thought,
rather than lose all. we would take any
thing he wished to give u.s. but there he was
mistaken. The company has lost money on
every one of the United States mail con-
tracts, and the other companies say the same
thing. We would actually be gamers by
not carrying the mails at Mr.. Villas rates" ("

The Caroline Trouble.

MADRID, Sept. 21.-A bitter feeling pre-
walls in this city owing to report having
been received from Count Beneman, the
Spanish ambassador to Berlin, to the effect
that he expects Germany will accept the
offer of naval coaling station, liberty to
trade and right of navigation among tho
Caroline islands, as basis of settlement OF
the Carolines dispute. The settlement wilt
be made without referring the matter to an
arbitrator.
BERLIN, Sept. 21.-The National Zeitung
says Germany is ready to admit Spain'G
prior occupation of Yap, but not of the
whole Caroline group, especially as aftef
the English rights had been settled in 1876,
the Spanish minister declared that no claim
to the Carolines had been raised by Spain.
