The special committee of councilmen and al
dermen, with Mayor Denny at its head, to inves-
tigate the charges against Health officer Barker,
held meeting yesterday afternoon, and heard
the testimony Of Daniel Pfaff, August Smith and
John Gulick. It is alleged that Barker did not
properly supervise the sale of meats in the East
Market as complaint had been made of butchers
selling what is termed ''bull beef Pfaff safa
he knew of such meat being sold at one time
but beef. lamb, mutton and other meats on sale
there were generally good. The prices were
lower than at the shops He believed it to be
the rule of butchers to take such meats as they
could not sell at their shops to the market. Au-
gust Smith testified that Frank Quiesce sold
one time bull beef on the market but he did not
know Of his repeating such violation of the ordi-
nance. The market is under better manage
ment than it has been for years. John Quick
did not know much as to the main facts Of the
complaint. He said the meat in market was OF
medium quality, and had seen bull beef in the
stalls, but could not say any had been sold. The
committee will meet again Tuesday afternoon.

One of the wonderful sights to be seen among the business honses in AL buquerque is the immense establish ment of John D. Torlina, the largest house of its kind this side of Chicago. The vast stock carried, consisting ot carpets, oil cloths, window shades. rugs, boots and shoes, of tbe best quality, is without conception. In the boot and shoe line he has the fin est and largest assortment ever brought to that town, of all sizes and widths, and of superior make.

Wednesday right the eastern mai for Flagstaff, instead of being left here, was carried on west to some point, TO one knows where. Late Thursday afternoon it was brought back by the east bound train and business men had the satisfaction of reading their Albuquerque letters about AS hours old, and knowing that they would not be able to mail ans wcrs until the next afternoon. This IS the second occurrence of this kind within one week. We would suggest to the Big ( hief, whoever he may be, of the postal service, that he employ, say about five men, (who are not of. fensive partisans) arm each one with a club stuffed with mnnoCuous deSue- tude" and place them in the postal car, with directions to either keep the distributors of Uncle Sam's mail awake or wear out the clubs. If this does not produce the desired effect, call out the U. s. Marshal's forces, or ask the Governor of Arizona to is- sue proclamation annihllating every postal car in the United States. Please do something for long suffering peo- pie.
