Treasurer Pattison,s Affairs.

Mr. Pattison's bondsmen met yesterday after
noon. but adopted nothing conclusive as to any
proposition they will make to the joint finance
committee Friday evening. It is understood,
though, they will consider the agreement not to
transfer or cucumber their property, real or per
sonal pending an extension of time to their
principal and themselves for settlement with the
city. They believe that large part of the debt
will be Cancelled in q comparatively short time.
This is the opinion of the majority, upon few OF
whom the burden rests. However, the finance
committee is DESTROYS of having them waive all
questions as to the validity of the bond. A prop.
osition containing these agreements will lead to
the committee favoring an extension for sixty
days The bondsmen find some trouble in get
ting full attendance, as two or three are out OF

warrior squaw and boy. the other represents a
pioneer, wife and child. The two single figures
represent mechanic and farmer"
Fettweis & Rowe stone-cutters, are now at
work cutting these figures out of great blocks
of Bedford ooltic limestone. The eagle is fin
ished, all but the last touches, and was cut out
of block Of stone ten feet long, and five feet six
inches high. and three feet thick The spread
of the birds wings is over eight feet. The two
pieces now being chiseled out are the pioneer
and the Indian chief, and there is months
work on each. Each is ten feet high. The
grouped figures will not be chiseled out of one
piece as it would require too large mass of
stone to be conveniently handled, even if it were
possible to ship so large mass from the quarry.
The figures will therefore be cut out separately.
