John Harmon Was Fined 81, and Bor-

William Rodwell is big, ruddy-faced
white haired Briton of seventy. who lives
at Kearney. John Harmon is equally
rosy checked has about the same guam
t1ty of white hair and pair of close
cropped side whiskers, and is also nearly
seventy. He is likewise devoted sub
Ject of the Queen, and can drop his his as
rapidly as can Mr.. Rodwell Both are
vigorous old men, and both appeared in
the Court of Sessions yesterday before
Judge Lippincott.
The Prosecutor informed the Court that
Harmon had elected to be tried in Special
Sessions and that he was charged with
assault and battery on Rodwell.
Have you lawyer" enquired the
Court.
Eli don't wants no lawyer, your Wor-
ship" he complacently replied
William Rodwell slowly uncoiled his
long legs, Strengthened the crook in his
shoulders and walked to the witness
stand, where, when asked to tell his story,
he deliberately said:-"Your Worship Hi

That's lie, your Worship" inter-
jected the defendant, waving his arms ex-
citedly and adding, "'e stole me heggs,
so e did,
Quiet was restored and Mr.. Harmon de-
sired to cross-examine the complainant.
He said:-"Did not you henter me zen
coop hand steal height heggs?"
Mr. Winfield objected that the COM
sarcasm passed Mr.. Rodwell unseen, but
he declared "'e hit me.''
Hi did not 1T i'm, your Worship"
You must ask questions and not make
remarks" said the Court as sternly as
man laughing till tears rolled down his
cheeks could speak.
''Hi wants to show your Worship a
plan, you know, of me en- coop, hand to
show your Worship 'ow that mon hentered

Harmon. Producing large drawing of
chicken coop, he proceeded to point out
the topography and geography of the
coop. After this he took the stand and
testified that he hired apartments from
Mr. Rodwell and that one day his landlord
trespaSsed on his apartments, and he
pushed him out, "but Hi did not lit i'm,
your Worship, Hi would not 1T hand hold

costs.
"Will your Worship lend me a postage
stamp to mail letter to me children, to

specimen of British cheek was too much
even for the Court, and His Honor com
piled with the request, and Harmon was
told to step down.

A Toronto Paper Rakes Up Dennis G.
Feeley's History.
TORONTO, Ont, June IA, 1SS9.-Yester-
days Empire says
1t would not be surprise to some peo-
pie if Dennis C. Feeley, one of the men
now brought forward most prominently
in connection with the Cronin murder at
Chicago, would turn out to be British
spy. He was at one time most rabid
British subject. He joined the Cobourg
Garrison Battery many years ago. BY his
zeal and attention to duty he soon worked
his way up to the position of sergeant
major and served in that capacity in 1865
during the Fenian raid, when his battery.
was stationed in an old fort at Toronto.
AS soon as he was released from service
he went to Rochester, where he became
the head centre of the Fenian organiza-
tion. From there he went to Chicago.
His name appears on the old service roll
of the two batteries of artillery that were
quartered in the old fort, and it may be
found on the pay sheets of the Militia De-
partment of Ottawa.

proportions that he had to buy a horse ito

and when he went to get the animal the
man refused to deliver it up, saying that
he had been notified by Sandford not to
do So as the horse was his property.
This morning "Zack" met Sandford

ensued, which resulted in Mr. Sandford's

THEY WANT A MEETING ROOM
Tax Commissioners Are Much Embar-

Tax Commissioners Are Much Embar-
rassed in Their Work.
The Tax Commissioners are much em-
barrassed in their work for want of q
suitable room in which to transact their
business. No provision has as yet been
made for them and they have no place in
which to keep their books and papers.
The Aldermen at their last meeting APP
pointed committee of two to take into
consideration the matter of supplying
them with suitable quarters, but up to
this time nothing has come of their
action.
A proposition has been made to find an
Office for them in some building in the
neighborhood of the City Hall, but the
Commissioners think they should be To-
Gated in the same building with the Col
lector.
The floor of the City Hall above the
Council Chamber, which is now used as q
meeting room by the G. A. r., is the only
space in the building now available, and
as more Office room will soon be needed
there is some talk of moving several OF
the municipal offices to that floor.

THE TAX COMMISSIONERS.
David w. Lawrence, of the Tax Com
mission, has been Police Justice, an
Assessor and an Assemblyman, but he is
a young man yet. His experience as
Clty Assessor, and the experience he has
since acquired in the real estate business,
should Mt him admirably for the duties
ne Is ABOUT to perform. He is probably
one of the handsomest men in the city
government; and the ladies may be in
terested to know that he is yet q
batchelor.
Another thoroughly equipped man for
the position is Assessor Michael J. O'Don-
nell. Mr.. O'Donnell is young man,
even If his hair is streaked with gray. He
mas served III the County Clerks Office as
chief clerk and in the Post Office as As
slstant Postmaster
Mr.. Prigge, the third member of the
Board, is well known all over the Hill.
He Is one of the old time Assessors and
one of the best.
A REPUBLICAN BOARD.
The appointment of Mr.. Hammerschlag
to the Sinking Fund Commission day or
two ago makes that Board republican.
He is the gentleman who ran for Congress
against Mr.. McAdoo three years ago. He
is man of large means and more good
nature. Jacob Ringle, a second member
of the Board, is the Newark avenue stove
dealer. James G. Hasking, the only dem
ocrat on the Board, is the courtly cashier
of the Second National Bank.
James Henderson, of the Fire ROard is
a florist. Robert Quinlan, a born fire
man, and John Conway, are fitted for
tn cir duties by long service in the Fire
Department.

All day yesterday the sensation-loving
public thronged to the place; and old Mr..
Carlson was kept tolerably busy in taking
in dimes. His wife and daughter stood
within and pointed out blood spots on the
paper, the bad job of painting on the floor,
position of the furniture-which has been
removed by the police-when the murder
took place, and the crowd looked on in a
state of wonder that appeared ridiculous.
The spots made by the police with their
Spots and every little movable chip, stick
or match was pocketed and carried off as
relic.
Friends of Tom Desmond, the Califor-
nian, against whom suspicion was di-
rected because he happened to be at
McCoy's Hotel when John +. Maroney was
there last April say he is incapable of
committing murder. Owen Murray, the
State street saloon keeper, who has known
Desmond for wears, says that when the
Californian left Chicago he proceeded di-
rectly from New York to San Francisco
If this is true, he could not have partici-
pated in the cruel murder, The only sus-
picion that attaches to him is the coin
cidence of his meeting with Maroney at
McCoy's Hotel and the additional fact
that he was warm supporter of the tri-
angle that once misruled the Clan-na-

The Ruins at Johnstown Being Rapidly

. JoHNsTowN, Pa, June A, 1Ss9.--With
the addition of nearly 900 new men, Con-
tractor Mcknight states this morning that
he expects to do more effective work to-
day and tomorrow than has been accom-
plished altogether since the disaster oc-
Cured. All question about the price of
labor has been settled, and there are today
about l, ,750 men at work on the drift at
the stone bridge.
This morning the advantage to be
gained from burning all that can be
burned is readily apparent. The river in
places is almost clear of wreckage, and
the work of pulling out is comparatively
easy.
Seven hoisting engines are pulling out
of the jam all that can be pulled, and
piling it on the river banks. Tonight the
drift thus accumulated will be burned,
Contractor Mcknight expects to have the
river cleared of wreckage by tomorrow
evening. The dynamiting still goes on
and is gradually loosening the drift.

The climax was reached yesterday after

were three distinct cuts on his head. As

There are a great many people ami
mated by unlawful curiosity, who,
not daring TO ask the head of the fam
lily about private cares or family trou.
bles. will coward-like descend tU
que,tioning tho children of the house,
hold to learn that which they have
no business TO know. Unsuspecting
children are apt, when adroitly ques1
toned. to repeat frankly what they
have heard said at home without
realizing the improperly of doing it.
A person who will thus stoop to cate-
chise child about family affairs is
person to beware of. 1t shows him
to have mind either malicious or
low. Human nature will have made
long ascent when people feel asham-
ed OF adopting this despieabie style.
