meat. In which There Is Little, II Any,
Equity.
The story Of F. B. Colton's attempt to
qualify himself as a member of Council
from the Fifth ward grows intensely inter
esting as it is explained more carefully.
J. Eldridge Piercea was requested to run
for Councilman in the Fifth ward, but de.
clined and was excused on the plea that
that he would find another candidate
He found Mr.. Cotton and as 1t appears he
felt responsible pecuniarily and other
wise for Nr. Coltons election, his ex-
penses and his eligibility. Mr.. Cotton was
persuaded to run. His name was pub
lished and he became can
didate. Late on the day of election Mr.
Cotton ascertained that he was not eligi-
BILE. At 6.39 p. M. on Saturday, just 80
minutes before the polls closed, very
suspicious deed passed between j. Ed
ridge Pierce and wife and +. B. Cotton
The price named in the deed is $2S00
and the property is located in Trenton
Place, lis feet north Of Tenth street, %
x60 feet, occupied by small tenement

at 81, 500 or So. 900, the latter price being
considered high.
To make this little real estate and
political deal of more thrilling interest the
mortgages on the property were investi-
gated, and the mortgages on the man can
be inferred A $4,000 mortgage is re
corded in book g g. page 472, to F. H.
Hoffecker as guardian. A second mort.
gage is recorded in book G 6. page 567,
for 5000, to the City Loan Association,
Of which j. Eldridge Pierce is secretary.
This would leave an untenable freehold
claim to Mr. Cotton Of 5000 or practi-
cally no freehold at all.
The assessed valuation of the property
transferred to Cotton is only 81, 900,
while the mortgages aggregate So, 600.
An effort was made to interview Mr..
Cotton, but he was reported to have gone

Ex-MlNlsTeR MLANe RETURNS.
What He Says About the Arrest of
American Women.


Robert McLane, formerly United
States Minister to France, arrived in this
city yesterday ON the steamship La
Gascogne. He was driven from the
steamers wharf 30 the New York
Hotel, where Tribune reporter
called upon him. MIR. McLane
said that he did not think 1t proper for
him to discuss diplomatic matters or the
anairs of the legation that he had Just
left. The reception of the new minister,
ne said was most cordial, and his stand
ing as journalist assured for him q
degree OF regard and esteem that would
be accorded to 10 one OF another profes-
sion.
as to the unpleasant experience Of the
three American women who lately went
shopping at Nice and were afterward ar.
rested at Mentone, Mr.. McLane said. II
do not know anything about that partic.
ular case, and did not hear OF 1t until
reach New York to-day. But there is no
class of difficulties arising between ma
tive Frenchman and travellers more
common than those between
tradesmen aud tourists. A great
many cases Of that kind
have come within my experience. 1t is
easy for INSCRIPTIONS tradesmen to an.
noy customers who order things and then
refuse to take them because the orders
have not been properly filed The
French laws, whish in the main are very
Just, are also very strict in some matters.
All tradesman has to do in such case
as | have indicted Is to make out an
affidavit that the goods were
sent to the customer. who refused
to pay for them. There is
no imprisonment for debt in the country
but the hotel Of the customer is watched
by police officer, and the moment he
attempts to leave it to depart for some
other place, his baggage is seized. Then
ne must submit to the extortion or de.
posit with the commissary Of police a
sum equal to the amount Of the claim
and fight 1t. This is the course | have
advised in many instances.
AS to the prospects OF the Panama
Canal Company, can only say that |
believe the French government will treat
It as strictly private enterprise. The
last attempt to obtain the sanction of the
government to another lottery loan was
made after left Paris, and see that it
was refused. To be sure the canal bonds
have been taken by the middle and poorer
classes of the country, and are widely
distributed. Politicians who wish to
gain popular favor take up the question
and urge government support of the en-
terprise But ! do not believe that II
will come.
is not Boulanger pursuing just such q
coursef'
yes, but that does not change my
opinion, although he is an enigma, and
yet | do not regard the Boulanger matter
as settled yet. New York Tribune.

Republican counciImen Caucu..

The Republican members Of City Coun
Gil held an informal caucus last evening,
and discussed the ordinance providing for
a plumbing inspector, which will come
from the mayor at the adjourned meeting
Of Council to morrow evening. It is be-
lieved that Mayor Harrington will veto
the ordinance. 1t is said that some of
the Republican members were at first in
clined not to support the mayor should
he veto the ordinance, but it is under
stood that all will do So A two.thirds
vote is necessary to pass an ordinance
over the mayors veto, and this would re-
quire the full vote Of the seventeen
Democratic members of Council.

spoke in favor of the confirmation aud
adoption of the report by the Levy
Court. Parts of the road have
been repaired by the dredging
company at considerable cost, bat the
dredging company did not ask to be re-
imbursed for its expenditure at once, but
they urged that the road be opened i'm
mediately. 1t would be of great benefit
to the company and others. The cost of
the road made the members chary Of con
firming the return and the matter was
referred to committee consisting of
Messrs. Rothwell. Roberts, sWeir Grub
and Shallcross, which twas instructed to

dressed the court in favor of the road

The gentlemed did not ask for an appro
priation this year, but simply permission
to open the road. Mr.. Newell made a
passionate appeal for the protection the
road afforded from the dangers of the
dangerous Frogtown crossing. He as
serted that in spite of the recent act Of
the Legislature, the trains have not
whistled there as the law provides since
June /.
The return was adopted by unani
