Unexpected - At Loggerheads with

Masshewman Appointed ON the
Beard OF ComDensasion.
The board of aldermen met last night, but
didn't have much business to. attend to. It
seems very evident from the attitude of the
board last night that there is to be fight in
the common council over the extension Of
Dewitt street to Lamberton street. This
would cut through the base ball grounds,
and would nscessitats the erecting of an iron
bridge over the Consolidated road.
The matter was heard before the street
committee, when all who appeared either
wanted the street extended a. ordered years
ago, or else have the city pay back to the
residents of that street the assessments that
were levied at that time for the extension.
The majority report was to the effect that
the board Of public works be ordered to
make layout of the dissontinuance OF that
street. The board of councilmen passed
this order.
Last night she minority report was pre-
scented to the board Of aldermen as an amend
ment to the minority report, and 1t passed
by vote of 10 to 6. It was that the board
OF public works be ordered to carry out all
orders passed In 1872, to be completed by
December 10, 1891.

have been elected had the Democrats started
In early, as 1t was said there was some dis
satisfaction amongst the Republicans over
Mr.. Matthewman's victory in the caucus.
The Democrats voted for Mr.. Kelly.

Orders that have been tabled since July
for brick sidewalks were called up by Alder
man Blakeslee, and created considerable
talk. All the orders but two were recon-
mitted to the street committee. The Olive

Chairman Blakeslse of the street COM
mittee, who presented the minority report on
the Dewitt street extension. said to q COURIER
reporter after the meeting that he had no
idea his report would go through.
The board adjourned about 10 O'Clock, af-
ter doing considerable routine business In
concurrence with the board of councilmen.

George w. Corbusier, who served in the
old volunteer ere department on No. 2 and
~ assistant engineer, removed yesterday q
large hornets nest from the Firemen's mon
ument in the Evergreen cemetery. It was as
large around as the crown of big Buffalo

early last spring, when 1t was of about the
size of q door knob. II was near the top of

OF the Sea-History OF Method in

At the First M. e. church last evening q
very pleasing lecture ON mission work in the

an elderly gentleman. It was accompanied
by very interesting stereopticon illustra-
tons. The views were operated by Mrs.

Quite a large audience enjoyed the enter
tainment. Among the illustrations was one
of the Yale campus. This was among a
number of extra views not included in the
evenings subject, and no reference to Yale
campus as place for missionary effort was
intended. A collection was taken at the
close at DR.. Chapmans suggestion for the
lecturers benefit and there was very hand
some response.

Abroad for Houaekeeper,.

a
Prof. A. ]. Cook Of the Michigan Agricul-
tural college has discovered tiny beetle be-
longing to the Ptinide family, tribe Of
wood-boring and insect devouring insects in
the pestiferous role of clothes destroyer.
It has been found attacking plush furniture
and performing other new feats as a depre-
dator. Upholstered furniture has been utterly
ruined by its minute larvae.
The beetle is not over 2-16 of an inch in
length; color, light brown; eyes and tips of
wings black. The grubs are short, curled
and hairy, two millimeters in length. Nearly
every year brings examples of change of hab-
its in insects. The carpet beetle, so destruc-
tive to wooden goods in America, feeds on
flowers in Europe, and this new clothes-eat-
ing beetle has heretofore only been known as
a perforator of twigs. Gasoline is destructive
to these beetles in whatever stage of growth
they may be discovered.

BOARD OF sELRCTmRN.

The Raising OF the Pay OF the Assess-
ors Agisatea Again-Referred Again.
other Matters.
The raising of the salary of the assessors
from 81 500 to $4,000 for the remainder of
this year came up again before the board of
selectmen last night. At the last meeting Of
the board the petition of the assessors was
referred to the finance committee, to employ
counsel and ascertain whether or not the
board of selectmen had the power to raise
such salaries, or whether that power lay with
the legislature alone. The committee pre-
scented the following resolution:
by Attorney John W. Alling, given on former oc-
adjust or raise the salary Of the board Of assessors
this committee recommend that the salary of as
SCISSORS be raised at 81 900 per year.
The finance committee is composed of Se-
leotmen Klenke, Sternberg and White. The
two former voted in favor of the foregoing
resolution, while Selectman White voted nay.
Selectman White explained that no counsel
had been seen In regard to this matter, but
that Charles Pickett, clerk of the board, had
prepared statements Of tive decisions given
some time ago by Attorney Alling, but at the
same time they did not bear on this specific
case. Selectman White said that the statutes
prevented the board Of sslectuaen from hav-
think that the board wanted to render itself
individually liable for doing an Illegal act.
The assessors had by sending in their bills
for their monthly salaries admitted that their
salary had been fixed at 81, 500 for the year,
although their salaries had not been fixed at
the beginning of the year.
Selectman Klenke of the committee, said
that he signed the petition because he
thought that the assessors earned the money;
to which Selectman White replied that he
favored an increase of their salaries, but he
thought the board of selectmen had no
right.
"Well," exclaimed Mr.. Klenks, "if the
board cut the salaries from 50 400 to s., 500
why havn't we right to raise their sal
ariesp'
"Ths statute states only about raising sal
aries, but says nothing about cutting them,"
replied Mr.. White.
On motion the matter was left In the
hands of the finance committee, with instruc-
tions to obtain Attorney Alling's legal
opinion as to the power possessed by the
board of selectmen. Seleotmsn White said
he would abide by Mr.. Alling's decision.
William e. Thompson reported that he
and had compared them with the index of
the same for the year ending October l, 1889.
He found the work neatly done, with eight
omissions, or errors, which have been re-
ported to the town clerk and corrected, is
satisfactory and correct.
The question of issuing bonds for public
parks, as provided for by the last legisla-
ture, came up, but was tabled for one week.
It was voted to insure the old warehouse at
the almshouse for one year at $1,000. The
insurance runs out to-day aud has been
81, 800.
