From Over the River.

A regular meeting of the City Council
will be held next Friday, at which time
the city engineer will submit report in
regard to the work that has recently been
done on the streets.
Mr.. Miles Traylor, who lives on Eighth
street, near Stockton, dug up a little green
plant which had grown up between the
bricks in the pavement near the mayor
courtroom. He took it home, re-planted
it, and day or two ago he brought it to
the mayors office to show to Captain
Lipscomb. The little plant turned out to
be tobacco, and by the tender care which
it received at the hands of Mr.. Traylor it
grew three feet tall Mr. Traylor cured
the leaves and they are now hanging up
in the mayors office.
The November term of the Hastings
Court will begin next Monday. The only

be tried before Judge Ingram.

Fire Last Night.

The alarm from Box 10, at 900 o'clock
last night, was causedby the partial burn
ing of the store and Westinghouse occu-
pied by Michael Welsh, 1445 Franklin

catching fire from the CRATE. The fire
had good Roadway by the time the en-
gines arrived, but was quickly gotten UNI

were on the third floor came done stairs
by themselves, and before reaching the
bottom were overcome by the heat, and
but for timely assistance from outsiders
would have both been suffocated. Damage
about $50; no insurance. Taken as a
whole it was one of the best managed
fires we have had for long time, and
what would otherwise have been a serious
confagration was only avoided by
promptness and hard work.

BRIBERY OF CITY OFFICIALS.



.tude Atkins Hands the Matter Over 70 the
Grand Jury-Judge Atkins Letter.
After the grand jury had finished their
regular duty Yesterday, Judge Atkins
called them into court and charged them
concerning the alleged bribery OF city
officials, to which reference had been
made in the so-called "Mitteldorfer let
ter" He asked that they spare no time
| or pains in investigating the whole mat
ter, and that should they know of any
one who could give direct or indirect in
formation on the subject to have them
summoned. He told them that they
might adjourn from time to time, as
would best serve to obtain the result in
view, and to thoroughly sift the whole
matter, and bring the offenders. If any,
to Justice. He then handed them the
Mitteldorfer letter, and letter received
by him last January in reference to the
same matter.
The letter received by Judge Atkins is
as follows
Rd, Jan. 3d. 1886.
Judge Adkins:
The man Weaver under arrest for get
ting money under false pretences is
very bad gambler and used to be inter
ested in No. 625 over Haynes q Mccarthy
on Broad st, kept by Morrow u Co.
The town is full of the same ttpe of men,
all of the responsibility having died out.
Most of them here are not natives. They
say openly that they have the officials
all right with the exception OF yourself
and that YOU are afraid of them, and if
you are not, that you have not sense
enough to Overtake them anyway. "A
raid made on these houses like Mr.. Mayo
used to do will run them out. You would
be astonished to go to one of these houses
on Saturday night and see the crowds
of boys and young men who go there to
supper, get drunk and then loose all they
have. Confidential
A. A. FRANCISCO.
The letter is evidently in disguised
handwriting. Judge Atkins said that at
the time of receiving this letter he issued
subpoena for A. A. Francisco, but no
party could be found by that name, and
that he would furnish the grand jury
with an expert who could probably find
some relation between the two letters
upon close examination. The grand jury
then retired to their room. AT o'clock
they came into court, handed in list OF
witnesses they wished summoned, and
were adjourned over until next Monday
at / o'clock.
Judge Atkins AYERS his intention OF
having the whole matter thoroughly in
vestigated, and will see that nothing is
spared to achieve that end.

THE SALEM BOYCOTT CASE.
The Defendants Waive Examination
and are Held in 81 900 Each
for a Higher Courts

PLYMOUTH, Mass, Aug. 5.-In the Third
District Court this morning, before Judge
Davis, William b. O'Keefe of Salem and Pc
ter McGeough, now or late OF Lynn, were
brought up on charge of conspiracy to in
lure the business of Charles Harrington d
Co., by ordering the Knights of Labor out Of
the factory of Mr. F. f. Emery, which used
leather manufactured by that firm. Ives
Moulton for the prosecution, Mr.. I. L.. WASH
burn, in behalf of Gen. B. F. Butler, for the
defence. The small court room was crowded
with interested spectators. The defendants
pleaded not guilty and Mr.. Washburn stated
that they would waive examination. The
case was then held for the upper court: In
reply to a question as to the amount of bail,
Mr. Moulton said that the amount OF bailwas
necessarily fixed without consultation with
the Judge. He asked that sum which
would be deemed sufficient considering the
nature of the offence be fixed. He did not
know that there are any precedents that
of conspiracy and it seems that in the case
going from this court to the Superior Court
the sum of $1,000 is hardly sufficient consid-
ering the nature of the offence. Mr.. Wash
burn thought that the sum of $1,000 would be
sufficient. Judge Davis said that he raised
the question at once, because the offence is
one which may be punishable by imprison-
ment in the State prison, and in an ordinary
case of an offence that might be SO punlshed
the bail would be larger. Mr.. Washburn said
that this is a new case and somewhat novel,
and there is no disposition on the part Of the
defendants to shirk any responsibility. There
is no doubt that they want the question de-
cided for their own information as well as
for that of all parties concerned, the manu-
facturer as well as the Knights OF Labor.
He thought there would be no question in
regard to the amount if proper sureties are
found Mr.. Moulton said that if Judge Davis
was satisfied with the sureties they would be
content with the amount of bail. Bail was
then fixed at $1Cc0 each, and Patrick Murphy
of Lynn and William P. Neville of Salem
became the sureties
