The JOINT HOSPITAL.
PARTICULARS OF THE SPLIT BE-
TWEEN CITY AND COUNTY.
The County Does Not Keep to Its
Agreements The Nature OF
Those Agreements.

The contest between the County and
City authorities, relative to the joint
hospital, still shows no signs Of any mu-
tual arrangements being arrived at, al
though 1t would appear that the city has
the preponderance Of right on her side.
traced to the time when the city was in
debted to the county in large amount,
In 1872 compromise Of this liability
was made for $50 900 or 10 acres OF land
known as the Tanney property. also
that the Recorders court then District
court). was to be used by the county
rent free. The final clause in this agree
ment reads IA follows:
Any money received by the coun' y
from the city, shall be placed in the
hands OF three or more trustees to be APP
pointed Jointly by the county and city
and there shall he made such legal
building arrangements as shall secure
the appropriation to the city of SJO,WO
for the erection OF courthouse, jail,
poor and workhouse and for no other
purpose whatsoever. This was followed
1874. the tenor Of which was that build
ing suitable for the object in question he
erected on suitable ground TO be ac-
quired by the city donating 10 acres Of
land, part of the Tanney property,
which said 10 acres we're transferred
sometime since by the City of San An
toaio to the County of Bexar, the whole
to he used by the city and county joint
ly as pOorhouse and workhouse, ms
well as for the safe-heeping Of State
prisoners ms may be sent there. and such
lunatics M cannot be received In the
State asylum. etc, and further II de-
clares the workhOuse and poorhouse
shall he under the control Of the county.
The sixth clause of this SECOND agree
ment says "'rhat the 10 acres Of land,
part OF the Tanney property above re-
ferred to, shall be dedicated by the
county AZ poorhouse and workhouse, or
to be used us garden or Held"
In another agreement made In 1870,
certain temporary buildings were erect
ed and 10 acres Of land leased, In addi-
ton to the former 10 acres, reference be-
ing made to the agreement OF 1872. A
suit was instituted by the county against
the city for S3O,OOO, and Judgment was
rendered for that amount, 1t being spe-
cially understood that the money was to
be employed in erecting and furnish
Ing manual labor and poOrhouse, house
of correction and hospital.
The Mayor. this morning, said 81
consider that the city has $4,000
to spend in n particular way ms defined
In the agreement, and all we ask Is to
follow these agreements, but we do not
want Judge Wurzbach to take $1,000 out
of that money for lawyers fees. 1t
should be built and be in the charge Of
the city until finished, and when COM
pleted turn 1t over to the charge of the
county. IT you'd be advisable to have
the manual labor poOrhoEse at its Tres
ent site, but 1t would be preferable to
have the hospital in n central location
In order thai the best professional ad-
vice could be secured without trouble.

An sin Plays Another Cute Trick.

A clergyman's wife says the New ! ork
Tribune, was telling of her expert ence
with Chinese pupils in the mission
schools. "Chrlstianity," she said, "is
so new to them that, when they ell. brace
it, they do so with great earnestness.
There is no halfway work with them;
and they are more strict In small matters
than American Christians. We had some
of them Mt church sociable few nights
ago, and we had at supper some candies
which are rolled up in paper with prin t.
ed Gouplets inclosed-some of them ex-
tremely silly. The Chinese boys read
them and looked surprised at seeing such
things served in church parlor, but
were too polite to say anything aboX
them. Soon afterward they gave an ell
tertainment, and the same sort of cam
dies were provided; but when unrolled'
the papers we found they had taken out
the foolish verses and had substituted
texts of scripture printed on little slips
Of paper. Some Of US felt that we had
received a well deserved rehuke."

The.(sfrl and the Washtub.
Indianapolis Journal

A singular incident is reported
from johnson county. Miss Alice H.
Lewis of Edinburg, last week slipped
and fell over a washtub, breaking one
OF her ribs. Ii is not remarkable that
girl should slip and fall, for any
body is likely to do go. Nor is it
strange that she should break one of
her ribs. Many girl has had a rib
broken ere this But it is noteworthy
that this young lady fell over a wash
tub. What could she possibly be doing
about washtub? Surely not using
it. The only plausible explanation is
that she came across the tub
while accidentally passing through
the kitchen or wash house and, seeing
the tub, stopped, to examine
it, probably with the idea of discover
ingwhat it was intended for. Not
being used to it, she slipped and fell
over it, breaking a rib as mentioned.
were rash to announce that she was
in the act of using it at the time of
the accident, lest she be overwhelmed
with letters from importune suitors.
The local press wisely omitted the
facts on this point.

Through the courtesy Of Will Baron
our reporter was taken to the new
skating rink this morning. The rink
il situated in the old Turn Verein
hall building on Fourth street, below
Stafford, and it has been heightened
about thirty feet. The interior has
been handsomely painted. In the
rear end Of the hall, an elevated stand
has been built for the use of the musi-
clans, and gallery has been built
around one side and one end of the
hall for the use of spectators SO that
the floor will be entirely clear for
skaters. There is one large dressing
room at the right OF the hall, and two
more in the basement. The material
for the new floor has arrived, and it
lie being laid as fast as possible, and
Messrs. Baron & Bauer are in hopes
that it will be finished by the middle
of next week. A fine lot of new skate.
have been purchased, and We have nc
doubt but what the rink will become
q very popular place of Amusement,
during the winter.
