The warren County Frauds.

CINCINNATI, August 2.-The committee
investigating the frauds perpetrated by
the Treasurer and Auditor of Warren
county have reported that within period
of less than two years the Treasurer paid
to the Auditor, on account of salary and
fees, $4,000 more than he was
legally entitled to draw. Many oi
the fraudulent warrants purported to be
for supplies for the county, when in fact
no such supplies were received. Bonds
issued by the Commissioners to the
amount Of $15 900 were sold, but no &C.
count of the money received appears on
the books. All the funds were drawn on
unfortunately with lavish hand.
Coleman was re-arrested this afternoon
on two additional charges of embezzie
ment, and gave bonds in the sum of
S26. 900.

Mr.. J. w. PoTTs publishes a COM
munication in our local columns that
deserves the careful consideration OF our
citizens. In his day and generation Mr..
Potts has been one of the most public
spirited and ente,prising citizens Los
Angeles has ever had. In conjunction
with Mr.. P. Beaudry, he really gave life
and being TO the hill portion of Los An
geles, Temple street, amongst other
works of great magnitude, having been
their joint creation. This sagacious
citizen declines to go vote as to give the
present Council the disposing of over a
million and a quarter of the city's
moneys. Mr.. Potts was himself one o.
the hest Councilmen Los Angeles coulG
ever boast, and his deliberate opinion
will carry great weight with his fellow
citizens.

cisco. As to all such tremendous engi-
merry of war, this country has simply
nothing to show in rebuttal. We have
not even the effective torpedo service
which could be much more quickly i'm
provised than great ironclads, and which
may in the end prove satisfactory soiu
ton of the naval problem. A nation
which builds neither vessels of war mol
torpedoes of the modern standard would
seem to he courting fate. Both the gov
eminent and people of this country seem
to be relying upon the proverbial good
luck that has always hitherto signalized
our national career, and which, let us
hope, will attend us to the end.

PEDESTRIANS are supposed to have
some rights in the streets of cities where
an enlightened public sentiment exists.
Los Angeles is an exception to the rule.
In this city the sentiment is obscured
by a more than Egyptian darkness.
Hacks, express wagons, and all sorts OF
vehicles crowd along the curbs all over
the city, in some places two deep. The
crossings are not exempt at all. A
burly driver will sit as calm as sphinx
in his seat while long line of ladies
wander anxiously along half block
looking to find place to dash
across the street away from the cross
walk, in danger of being caught by
Death the Gripman, or Murder on the
seat Of an express wagon. Meanwhile
the guardian of the peace who is sup
posed to draw his salary for doing some
thing roams past with an unconscious
air, as if the peace of hackman or ex-
press driver were all he had to care for.
while ladies, being weak, can dc
him no harm. Then at night, the
theatre being over, one wedges his
way through a big line of hack
drivers as best he may. Anywhere
for ten blocks from the door he tries tc
cross the street. The cars are coming
both ways, and he tries to steer clear o.
them, with a lady or two to protect
when down comes one, two, or ten span
of horses with heavy hacks behind them
tearing up the pavement like the steeds
of Diomedes skirmishing around the
walls of Troy. The drivers seem
intent on trampling from the face of the
earth any one who has the temerity te
walk, and thus cheat them Of their fare
Will some one with a drop of mercy il
his soul in this fair city do something tt
secure pedestrians some rights in tbs
streets?

Sioux FALLS, s. D., August 1.-The
time of the convention today was oceu-
pied in debate as to its power of fixing
the terms of the first elected set of State
officers before the constitution goes into
effect, as the schedule now arranged
will necessitate general election every
year. This the convention wants to
avoid. No decision has yet been
reached.
BISMARCK, N. D.. August 2.-The prin-
cipal fight in the convention was over the
proposition to give every organized
county a representative in the Legisla-
ture. This was opposed by many as
giving the sparsely settled western por-
ton of the Territory more power in the
Legislature than they should have. The
western men were defeated and the con-
vention decided upon having members
of the House of Representatives elected
at large from the Senatorial districts.
HELENA, Mont, August 2.-The con-
vention today considered an amendment
to the bill on miscellaneous subjects. A
section was passed prohibiting legis-
lators, members of the Judiciary and
Boards of Equalization from accepting
passes from railroads under the penalty
of forfeiting Office and emoluments.
In the afternoon the Legislative
Department bill was taken up, and
numerous amendments considered. A
proposition for the apportionment of the
State into Senatorial districts, one for
each county, brought out heated party
debate, Republicans and Democrats ac-
cusing each other of party division. The
convention finally adjourned without
taking vote.
OLYMPIA, August 2.-The section in
the article on corporations, requiring
foreign corporations doing business here
to have books in the State, with COM
plete record OF their business transac-
tions open to inspection, was defeated
this afternoon by large vote.
Another section providing for an
elective Board of Railway Commits
sioners who shall have absolute
control Of all transportation companies,
was the subject of an animated debate,
and it is likely to be defeated, as petit
tions from many Boards of Trades and
City Councils are pouring in against it. A
number of other sections in the article on
corporations were adopted. The State ie
forbidden to loan it's credit or own
any corporation stock. The section
on banking is eaid to be almost an exact
counterpart of the Federal law on the
subject. In that part on railroads, q
section was adopted practically the same
as the interstate long and short haul
clause.

DENVER, August 2.-Prominent cattle.
men arrived here today giving informa.
tion that the Utes are again off their res.
ervation and creating havoc in the west
ern part of the State. They travel in
small bands, intimidating ranchers for
the purpose of securing provisions and
ammunition. They are also killing of
all the game in that section, and during
one week slaughtered 1000 deer for their
hides, only. The settlers are becoming
aroused and threaten to 60 upon a war OF
determination unless something is
promptly done to drive the red maraud-
ers back to their reservation and keep
them.

A Night of Anxiety and Peril M
Feltyflle. N. j..

PLAINFIELD, N. j., August 2.-Last
night was an anxious one for the citizens
at Feltville. There is dam high above
that place. The continuous rains filed
space back of it with water. There
were breaks in it and there was immi-
nent danger that it would give way. in
which case this city would have been
flooded, as was Johnstown, Pa. Men
we're at work trying to strengthen it,
with little prospect of success. The
wires were down, but horsemen were on
guard all night, ready to fly down the
valley and spread the alarm; and a
system of signal rockets was also ar.
ranged. The workmen finally succeeded
in opening the food.gates, and the water
is being rapidly drawn off, SO all danger
is past.
The dam is now safe, and the watel
has been lowered three feet. 1t will i'm
mediately be strengthened and additiona
sluice- ways be cut so that it may never
again be threatening danger.

A CRUEL and unkind prejudice has
existed so long that the memory of man,
not even of the oldest inhabitant, run
meth not TO the contrary, against maiden
ladies of certain, or rather of an uncer-
tain age. 1t is ungallsnt as it is unjust.
Maiden ladies of all ages, certain or
uncertain, are all daughters of dear
old Mother Eve, and as such
merit all the devotion and re-
spect of men. The song in Richard
Brinsley Sheridan's play The School for
Scandal, that lauds the maid Of fifty as
loudly as her of sweet sixteen, and that
quaffs even to the "fsunting, extravagant
Quean," is the emily true sentiment. And
as to the old maids, who has not known
them at all stages along the rough and
dusty ways of life, as sweet, as lovely in
color, as tender and as womanly
as any of their younger sisters.
The true woman is immortal.
Age never touches her womanhood.
Adversity never dries up the tender
fountains of her affections. Times
touches cannot lessen the warmth, or
soothing smoothness of Ler caresses.
Yet this unjust prejudice pours bitter
reflections into the cup which life holds
to the lips of many maidens whose finger
never wore the little golden band that
makes woman happy domestic slave.
Even the negro minstrel tells his
story of the girl who at Is said

nose in the air, "Who is he, MAJ"

Noble Mayor of Tacoma, who has come

class He writes to Boston to have the
Mayor of the Hub proclaim it far and
near in the ears of all the spinsters of the
old Bay State that there are husbands
galore in the wild and woody West for
all despairing maids. The Hubs Mayor
fears it is hoax. He is told to cry aloud
and spare not, but he is afraid the voice
is that of false prophet. All well, the
spinsters of New England have got the
message, and they have more faith than
the Mayor. Their hearts tell them it is
no vain message that reverher-
ates from Puget Sound to Cape
Cod. and that echoes all along
