Case.

Petitions for writs of mandamus against Mayor
Baker and the board Of Aldermen, and against
Charles W. Haney, of this city, were forwarded to

to recognize and act with Thomas w. Pitcher, as
Alderman from Ward Two, and the other to re-
strain Charles W. Haney from acting with the
board of Aldermen. Judge Peters has ordered a
hearing to be had before the Supreme Court on
Saturday of this week.
1t Is hoped this will be settled and the result
acquiesced In. All that is required is to know

County Expenses.

The County Commissioners term of court, end
ing in April, was held last week. Bills of expense
accruing since the term in December were al
lowed. While the general bills are lower than
the corresponding term last year. the other bills of
expense are greater including criminal costs and
prisoners board at the Jail. The bills reveal an
other fact that our Trial Justices are doing more
business than 5000 Police court, notwithstand-
ing the latter has exclusive jurisdiction. AS a
large portion of the Trial Justices business was
done in the city it shows that our Judge must
have had considerable sickness, absent,
the Justices only have jurisdiction in such con
tingencies. The following are the figures:

A little more may be taken of, and then l shall

save his vote. Il hoped that George would be
elected" he said. 'as he wants TO do something.
He stands for something, and represents n cause.
He is perfectly sincere, and, in my judgment,
would have made excellent Mayor. If the
Republicans had acted wisely they would nave
voted for George. They would have beaten the

If the Republicans had voted for George

the southeast corner room Of the second floor.
An attempt was made to reach the unfortuu-

by the dense volumes Of fame and smoke that
had gained control of the halls and stair ways.
All hope Of saving the man was abandoned. and
when morning dawned it was found that the
dead man was John G. Gates, the Democratic

Did Washington Eat Green Peas with a
Knife?

Knife?
Magazine of American History.
The following extract is taken from the "Ele
mentary History of the United States" by s..
P Quackenbos, 1886. The author has not
sinned enough in repeating absurd story
about an attempt to poison General Washington
in June. l776, which has foundation. but he
is also guilty of accusing the great hero of eat
ing green peas with knife:
Fixing his eyes upon the guilty man he put a
spoonful of peas his plate, and asked hlm
Shall eat of theseF 4 don't know, stammered
rhe man, turning deadly pale. Washington
took some his knife and again asked: Shall
I eat of theseg The man could not say a word,
but raised his hand as if to prevent it,"
1t is interesting also TO note that this 'his
tory" has been adopted by the authorities of the
city of Brooklyn for use in their schools.
