The Board of City Trustees met in regu-
lar session at 10 A. NJ. yesterday, all the
members present.
The City Engineer of the water works
astonished the Board by making a report
of the largest weeks pumping on record,
namely, 1885,, coo gallons. The pumps
were constantly at work during the entire
week, the machinery not being stopped for
single moment during that entire time.
IL the street sprinklers should at any time
make up their minds to fulfill the REQUIRE
ments OF their contracts this amount would
be largely increased. The water pumped
IS quite muddy; more so than at the same
season last year.
The bids for grading street, from
Fifteenth to Sixteenth, were opened. The
bidders were Robert Miller and A. Meiss.
The latter's bid was the lowest and ac-
cepted.
Bids were also opened for the construc-
ton Of brick sewer from r 20 Y. The
bidders were George Murray and VIM.
Snarr. The former was awarded the con-
tract al 81 a per lineal foot, and his bond
fixed at 81 Goo
A petition from the G. A. R. Reception
Committee, asking for ten special policemen
for the Pavilion on the 18th of August was
granted.
The Trustees passed 4 resolution to the
effect that ii was the unanimous sense Of
the Board that steps should be taken to
effect compromise Of the city debt with
the bondholders.
After auditing a number of bills the
Beard adjourned.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
City Bond Question and vicinity.

EDS. RECORD UNION: Mayor Brown SAYS
have insinuated that the only reason the
bondholders sued the city was because the
Trustees failed to levy the one per cent.
tax. ! have insinuated nothing. being
under the impression that the Mayor holds
the patent right on that method of conduct
ing a controversy. What l said and what
l repeat is, that if my advice had been fol-
lowed, the litigation would have been
avoided. My advice was to levy the tax
and pay the coupons in the order of their
maturity. All the litigation was caused
Firstly the attempt in 1880 to repudi-
ate the coupons maturing prior to 1877.
Secondly the commencement in 1881
of a reputation movement based upon a
misapplication of the decision in the So
called Memphis case-Garrett VS.. Merri-
weather (102 U. s., 472).
Thirdly the refusal of the Trus-
tees, after 1882, to levy the
one per cent. tax, and by their order. in
March, 1882. directing the Treasurer not TO
pay any coupons and especially not TO nav
any TO the Fund Commissioners.
The most important, most expensive and
most disastrous part of the litigation arose
from the last-named cause and for it the
Mayor is responsible. And the final result
is, that it is now determined that the city
must do precisely what I advised should
be done, and what, if it had been done,
would nave prevented all the litigation.
As to the Mayors last insinuation, that 1
have been advising parties to sue the CITY
Tor the gross proceeds of the water-works, I
shall wait till the charge is vouched for by
some responsible party before | notice It
further than to say that if the Mayor will
90 beyond the insinuation and make tbe
charge, giving the name of his informant
he Will perhaps have an opportunity of
breaking out with another such feryent
ebuiiition of gratitude as he poured forth
the other day upon ex-Mavor Turner for
his testimony. II. O. BEATTY.

Sheriff n. n. Craig, of Cheyenne, Wyom-

PAPER HANGERS PAsTE.-Good paste for
paper hanging is made of old flour. mixed
to a milk-like consistency with water.
When put in a kettle to boil little size or
glue may be added, which will increase its
tenacity A little alum may also be added,
in order to keep the paste sweet and to
cause it to spread more freely. When
boiled, it should be of the thickness of or
binary gruel, and laid on the paper smooth
ly and equally with backward and forward
strokes of the brush. Care should be taken
not to load the brush with too much paste
at one time, lest the paper be rendered too
damp. When an oyerabundance of paste
is used, little is pressed out at the edge
when the cloth is used 10 dab the paper
against the wall. This may be removed by
sponge dipped in clean water California

All OF the San Francisco papers are en-
thusiastic over the game of ball between
the Atlas and Hayerlys at Alameda Sun
day, and pronounce it the finest ever
played on the coast. 1t is universally
conceded that the Atlas are admirable
feeders, and if they had pitcher equal, or
nearly equal, to Incell, the Hayerlys or any
other club would have to catch them on an
"oft day to beat them. There is reported
to have been about as much dissatisfaction
with the umpire during the game as there
ever was in Sacramento. The Atlas as
usual. refrained from " kicking but the
spectators loudly expressed dissatisfaction.
Next Sunday the Atlas meet the GREENWOOD
d Morans again. Last Sunday the Knick
erbockers played the Los Angeles Club at
Central Park, and beat them II to g. The
excursionists have been playing so much
lately that they must have got stale"
They will have chance to rest before their
game in this city next Thursday, and will
probably show up in creditable manner

was in good voice, animated by a lively
spirit, and his humor was as broad and

with feeling and invests the part assumed
with the interest that attaches to the real.

wit, keen dialogue, and involved in merry
