their city solicitor may furnish to councils
in behalf Of claim against It, when they
remember that J. w. johnson is the law
officer Of the municipal government.
Ordinarily he has one escape |
from more serious imputation, in
that he is SO confessedly ignorant of the |
law that he would only reach sound con-
cluson by an accident. 1t is doubtful If
any other member of the bar would risk
his professional reputation, whatever IL
| may he, by subscribing his name TO such an
| opinion as johnson has supplied in this
case. 1t was agreed by councils Ito refer the
whole matter TO him." but he deliberately
avoids and suppresses all the essential facts
Of it and, and resorting TO the arts of the
pettifogger, assumes that ho is called upon
to say only whether, i'm the absence of any
thing on the record presented to him, he is
to assume that the water committee ex-
ceeded their powers or incurred an illegal
obligation which the city is not bound to
pay lie frames case and makes u ques-
} to fit the answer that he wants TO render.
As q politician, johnson has no reputa-
tion TO lose, and consequently he has not
scrupled to lend himself to the aid of a job
which the vcriest tyro, who examines the
law and applies it to the notorious facts, can
see had no more legal justification than aI
attempt TO get $500 out of the safe in the
city treasurer's Office with crowbar and
jimmy.
Clearly, emphatically and unmstakabl!
!, the law says that no work of this sor
. amounting to over $500 shall be done upol
!, the order of any committee without direc
tion of councils and advertising for bids
Wilfully, deliberately and knowingly Hal
. bach and Huber overrode this law am
= now they have the aid of a willing sool i
~ helping TO deceive a council that is only to

The addition Of J. w. Johnson to I'll

-, dence.

New FORK Mail and Expres.l
In the early part Of last century
Wexford and McSparren. two small
towns near Newport, r. l.. engaged in
quarrel over an Episcopal church
building, which was among the first edi-
fees of the kind erected in New Eng
land. The church was at McSparrcn,
which had been distanced in size and
Importance by WEXFORD, and the latter
determined, after many stormy scenes
in the vestry, upon q species OF coup
d'etat.
The road from where the church was
located to Wexford was every rod OF it
down hill. and, while it might prove .
comparatively easy matter to get the
house down there, it would prove lite.
rally an uphill undertaking to get il
back again. Accordingly. one evening
the Wickfordites mustered their forces,
collected all the ox-tcams for miles
around. and went up there. The house
was quickly placed upon wheels,
and. while the residents Of Nc
Sparren Hill were slumbering quiz
city in their beds, their meet
ing-housc was on its way to Wick
ford. Great was their astonishment
when they looked towards their che
rished house in the morning to find
narght but the foundation walls re-
naming where the house had stood ut
sunset the night before. There was
some very vigorous language used,
which was received by the Wicktordites
with all the complacency Of men who
were aware of the fact of possession
being nine points Of the law, and of It's
being literally an uphill job to get the
house back again where il started
from. This was in the year 1900. and
the house has remained on its present
site ever since.
Some ten or twelve years ago the
corporation built a neat church editice
on the main street Of the village, with
a tower and clock, and the old church
has not been used since. II has not,
however, ceased to be an object Of pub
lie interest. 1t is visited every year
by hundreds of people from different
parts of the country, many OF whom
have inscribed their names in pencil on
its walls. The house is fast succumb-
| ing to the ravages of time.

An Important Decision.

Especial telegram To the Dispatch,l
RALEIGH, n. c., June l2.-This
afternoon Judge Seymour, in the United
States Circuit Court here, announced
the opinion in the suits Of William f.
Christian, of Richmond, Va, as. The
Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad.
The plaintiff sued to subject the stock
owned by the State in this road to the
payment Of the bonds Of the railroad
held by the plaintiff and others. The
decision was that as the State could
not he sued in this court the case must
be dcmurred. 1t was held further, in
no view were the plaintiffs entitled to
recover, because the States stock is not
held for the protection or indemnity of
bondholders. An appeal was taken to
lhe Supreme Court of the United States.

Their two days ago, and it is supposed
was badly strained and some of her
butts loosened, but nothing of the kind
was suspected by the crew and they
proceeded on the voyage unaware Of
danger. About 3 O'Clock this after
noon Captain Baker observed water
in the forecastle, which was his
first intimation of danger, and quickly
summoning the crew put them to the
pumps. 1t was at once discovered that
the hold was full of water. which was
rising rapidly, and that the pumps
were choked with wet salt. All hands
made rush for the only boat on board,
and hardly had il been launched when
the schooner went down head first.
The men were thrown into the sea,
but succeeded in reachng their boat
and getting safely into it. They found
their position to be about two miles
south OF Torbay Point, toward which
they rowed, and arrived there this eve
ming. The Smiling Water was a vessel
of fifty-four tons, and belonged to Henry
Cook, Of Halifax.

pisassrous Fire I'm London.

lBy cable TO the Dlspatch.l
LONDON, June IA fire broke out
this afternoon in the India Museum an
mex to the great building in which is
being held the International Exhibition
Of Inventions. This department is stu
ated Just north of the main entrance to
the Exhibition and between the eastern
wall Of the Exhibition building proper
and the Exhibition road. The museum
was filed with evidences Of the handi-
craft Of India. carved woodwork main
ly, and other like inhammable material.
The flames spread with alarming rapidi-
ty, and the whole immense structure
is regarded as doomed to destruction.
Visitors to the Exhibition, and attend
ants, as SOON as they heard the first cry
of fire, fed from the building and all
escaped without accident.
The fire department quickly re-
sponded to the alarm, and soon fully
fifty engines were sending heavy
streams of water into the burning
museum and upon the adjacent pro-
perry. The firemen finally obtained
mastery over the flames, but not until
the many articles in the India Museum
had been almost entirely destroyed and
the museum building itself very Sc
riously damaged. The flames did not
extend into the immense structure in
which the exhibition proper is being
held, and thus the actual calamity
dreaded was prevented. The damage
to the main exhibition is, however,
considerable.
LONDON, June 12-6 p. M.-The
Indian Museum building is damaged be-
yond repair, while its contents may be
said to be completely destroyed. The
Indian department Of the exhibition is,
in fact, blotted out. There were 10000
visitors in the exhibition grounds at
the time the fire broke out. As soon
as these and many attendants recovered
from the excitement occasioned by the
first alarm, all engaged in the work Of
removing the books of record of the ex-
hibit and in saving the more valuable
of the exhibits. The Prince Of Wales
arrived early at the fire and re-
NAMED until assured that the main
exhibition building would not be mate
rally damaged. All the fire-engines
that could possibly be utilized were
used to pour streams upon the burning
building. Luckily the water supply was
plentiful. To this fact, coupled with
the extraordinary exertions of the fire.

the main building. The Exhibition was
closed after the outbreak of fire. a
Gordon of police barred the roadway
and stopped all travel and traffic. A
detachment of the Life Guards was
quickly marched to the scene, and as
sisted the police in maintaining order
and saving property. While the fire is
not yet quite out, there is no danger of
its spreading. The only articles saved
from the Indian Museum were those
contributed by the Prince Of Wales.
All the remainder Of the Indian exhibit
is destroyed.
The Indian Museum contained many
