IN AND ABOUT THE CITY.
TAKING UP THE COUNTY ROADS.
Commissioner Bourquin Turning His
Attention to Them Now.

| Commissioner Bourquin Turning His
Attention to Them Now.
The chairman of the board of road COM
missioners. Mr.. Boarquin, has turned his
attention to the roads outside Of the corpo-
rate limits. He has notified the commits
sioDers who have immediate supervision of
the Pine Barren and Louisville roads to
order out the hands and put the roads in
| good condition.
1t is claimed by those living in the dis
trlcts through which the roads run that it
will be impossible for the road commits
sioners, with the hands at their disposal, In
the limited time of the road law provision,
| TO put the roads in the proper condition,
and that some assistance from the county
will have TO be invoked, and 1t 10 probable
| that the road commissioners will conclude
to go before the county commissioners at
their meeting next Wednesday and explain
the condition Of affairs, and ask for some
financial aid.
The justices of the peace Of the city have
taken no action looking to an enforcement
OF section 652 of the code as requested by
Mr. Bourquin, and the latter, when asked
yesterday what action he will take, said
that he does not desire at this time TO dis
close his plans, except that he will find some
way to compel them to do their duty.
This is taken to mean that he will
endeavor to have the justices indicted for
refusing to organize as a board OF city road
| commissioners, divide the city into districts,
| apportion the streets to be worked, and call
| out the citizens to do the work.
MIR. Bourquin says that the report that
his action is a political movement has no
| foundation in fact. He takes no part in
politics, never attends conventions, and
does not interest himself about who is
nominated and who is not.
referring to the communications ad-
dressed to him by the justices, he says that
he expected no reply and is Indifferent as
| to whether they act. The position of
Justice Russell, whose letter was published
in the MORNING NEWS, Mr.. Bourquin says
is that of a man on the fence who evidently
hasn't made up his mind on which side to
| get down, but Mr.. Bourquin seems to think
the Justices will eventually have TO get
down on his side of the fence.
Mr.sBourquin says that every time he has
suggested that the city should put the Louis
vile road and the Gwinnett street extension
IN repair he has been met with the excuse
that the city has no money, and, as he
thinks great deal of money has been I'M
necessarily spent by the city for hospital
| tiles extended to visitors, in which cham
payne and other things to tickle the palate
are included, he proposes to investigate a
! little on his own account and see where and
how the money has been going. He does not
| expect that the mayor and aldermen will
refund the money spent for such purposes,
but that the investigation will be calculated
| to discourage wastefulness hereafter.

Costly Tonhstonas.
From the Atlanta (Ga.) Journal.

From the Atlanta (GG.) Journal
There's an interesting story told of a good
lady who lived in Washington, Ga, who
paid $12, 900 for three tombstones, one to be
used for herself.
1t happened in this way:
She was widow and was courted by q
stranger srom New York. She returned his
affection and engaged herself to him.
He told her he was forced to return to
New York and persuaded her to let him in
vest some money for her in the metropolis
She had just sold storehouse for $4,000
aud, trusting in his honesty, gave him the
money.
He left, but never returned, writing after
time that he had been unfortunate in his in
vestments and had lost the money she had
entrusted to him. He stated that he had
three tombstones as good as new that be
would send her if she cared to have them
She told him to send them along, which he
did, and when they came two of them were
placed over the graves Of two dead rela
tives and upon them suitable inscription.
were engraved.
The other was not engraved but was set
up in the cemetery to be used over her owr
grave after she died.
There it stood for ten years, a constant re-
minder to her, and after her death her grave
was dug close by, and the marble stone was
put upon the place for which it had so long
waited.

Ancient Arabic Order OF Mobiles Of the
Mystic Shrine to Go to Rome.
Yaarab Temple, Ancient Arabic Order
of the Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine, at At
lanta, will start on a pilgrimage to Rome
next month.
The potentate of the temple, II. c..
Stockdell has issued the following
order: "The rrusty Arabs Of Yaarab Tenn
pie will mount their camels in this oasis on
April 10 next for a pilgrimage to Rome,
| where our tents will be located during the
conclave OF the Grand Commandery of
knights Templar. A most delightful time
is in store for all who are now mobiles of the
Mystic Shrine, as well az those who may
Join our ranks at a special session which we
will hold for that purpose"
This Ancient Arabic Order is one of the
Oldest institutions in the world, and was
organized at Mecca GOT A. D. In foreign
countries the membership is confined to the
nobility and men of high order Of intel
ligence. In the United States no one is
eligible unless he is Knight Templar or
Thirty second Degree Scottish Rite Mason

AL GREEK TO THEM.
The Lawyers Wrestle with a Case in
the Athenian Tongue.

The Lawyers Wrestle with a Case in
the Athenian Tongue.
Yesterdays session Of the city court was
taken up with the trial Of the damage case
Of Dave s. Einstein against J. S. Collins &
Co. and l. R. Nathans, constable, and the
jury brought in verdict for plaintiff last
night for S9OO and costs.
The suit grew out Of levy made by Con-
stable Nathans, az the instance of Collins &
Co., upon q fruit stand kept by Demeter
A Coucoulas, a Greek. last May, for debt
of $42 IS alleged to be due Collins & Co. by
Coucoulas.
It afterward turned out that Einstein
owned the fruit stand, and the bills of goods
sold him by various jobbsrs was to Coucou-
las, agent, with one exception, Simkins &
Co., who on account of the unpronounceable
and TO them unwTitable name Of Coucoulas,
made out bill TO "Mr. Bull and Castor
Street, Agents" as the Greek had his stand
near Bull and CASTOR streets.
The Greek was on the stand, and was an
amusing witness. His novel way Of keep
ing his books, as he explained it, caused
considerable merriment in the court room.
He merely put down his gross receipts
daily, and when asked what he did after
that he said, innocently enough, "Then 1
sleep" He identified one of Collins & Co.'s
bills by the photographic cut of the house on
the billheAd. His own writing was in
Greek, in which he entered his gross receipts
daily, bis knowledge of English writing ex-
tending no further than the ability to write
his name, which he did, and as no one
could pronounce it, he gave the pronun-
citation as Kukelo.
The evidence disclosed the fact that the
constable had seized and sold the stock and
fixtures Of the fruit stand. and after salts
flying the claim Of Collins & Co. and paying
the costs. a snall balance was rendered
Coucoulas, which he declined to receive,
saying that 1t did not belong to him.

AFTER THE oaEBoHEE CANAL
It's Abandonment for Navigation Being
Seriously Considered.

It's Abandonment for Navigation Being
Seriously Considered.
1t is understood that the abandonment Of
the Ogeechee canal for the purposes of nav
igation and directing it to drainage pur-
poses is being seriously considered.
1t is said that the only object the Central
railroad had in getting a controlling inter-
est in it was that it may bridge it where
and when they chose, and to use it at its
northern terminus to increase the termin al
facilities of the Central railroad and of tn g
Ocean Steamship Company, as the canal is
no longer desirable property for trans
portation purposes.
1t is not known that negotiations have
yet begun for the control of the canal for
drainage purposes by the county, but 1t is
believed that such a change would be q
popular one, and by deepening the canal il
could be made a valuable acquisition to the
drainage of the county,

Williams.

Cake" lane, was in Justice cDermott's office
yesterday and swore out a warrant against
John Williams, notorious thief and out
law. She cha rged him with assault with
intent to murder. The woman's face and
head were terribly bruised and beaten. Her
lip was split in two, and one Of her eyes
was closed. She said that Williams ro-
fused to pay her for lamp which he broke,
and when she demanded the paw
he seized her by the throat and threw her
on the floor and then jumped out Of the
door, and, picking up rock, "staved" it :at
her. striking her on the face. When he saw
what he had done he ran away. Several
colored people who saw the fracas chased
Williams through several streets, but be sue
ceeded in getting away. The officers know
Williams TO be very bad man.

OPENING OF THE BALL.
THE PEILLIEs DEFEAT THE BROOK.
LYNS 10 TO z.

Wards Men Outplayed All Around
for the Brooklynites to Face - The
First Game OF the Players League
Anything but Promising Exhibi-
tion-The Poor Playing Accounted
for by g Lack OF Practice and the
Bad Condition Of the Grounds.
The first game of the Players League, or
what is known as the Brotherhood, was
played between the Philadelphia and
Brooklyns, at the Bolton street base ball
park, yesterday afternoon, and was won by
the Phillies by score Of 10 10 z.
The game was an exhibition game, and
the playing was decidedly loose. Nearly
1000 people witnessed the greater part of
the game. After the last half Of the sixth
inning, with the game evidently all one
way, about one-half of those in the grand
stand left the grounds The game was
called a half hour earlier than was adver-
tised, and many lost the first Innings.
CUNNINGHAM A PUZZLE.
The Philadelphia club outbatted and out
fielded the Brooklyns. The latter could
do very little with Cunnlngham's de
livery, which was puzzling, and when they
hit him they couldn't get the ball very far
out of the diamond. When they did get
ball into the right field Wood got it, and
with one exception he took everything that
came his way. Fogarty was immense in
center field, and played an errorless game,
and Andrews in center field for the Brook
lyns caught some long flies. Griffin, the
Philadelphia left fielder, did some good
work.
The features of the game were the safe
batting of the Phillies, and two very pretty
double plays by Shannon and Farrar.
THE ERRORS ACCOUNTED FOR.
The members of the two clubs account
for the loose playing from the fact that
they have had no practice this season, and
the condition of the grounds, which were
rough and sandy. Yesterday was the first
time the clubs have been at the bat since
the organization of the brotherhood league.
Both clubs are elated over the fact that
they had played a game Of ball. as the
National League predicted that they would
never play game, and they were in such a
hurry to hear the gong ring up the first
game that they couldn't wait for the ad-
vertised time. $3.50 o'clock, but were
playing the last half of the second inning
at that hour.
A MADE-UP SCORE.
IdSSeQ DalIS, nuuS ana IuInDl9S were as
plentiful as blackberries, but they are
pretty well eliminated from the score. No
score was kept on the grounds, and the clubs
got together at the De Soto after supper
and made up one. While there were some
good plays in the game, on the whole it was
disappointing, as the crowd expected of
professional teams low score and closely
contested game
A much larger number would have been
ont Yesterday bnf tbara xUas q orooaraI i'm
preston that the clubs would be here ten
days, and that was the arrangement Man
ager Ward of the Brooklyns had made with
Mr.. Reid, manager of the ball grounds. No
tickets were on sale down town, and no one
knew until the ball ground was reached
what would be the price Of admission.
THE SCORE.
The following is the score Of the game as
agreed upon by the players:

The Belmont Courier endorses
the Times-Review's proposition
that the press Of Nevada stand
OFT squarely for free coinage,
without any compromise what
ever, and that the vote of the
State be gi, en- to the party which
according to the record gives the
greatest support in Congress to
the silver interest. The Courier
says:
We believe that this is step in
the right direction. The amend
ments to the Window silver bill
reported by a majority of the
House Committee on Coinage are
not calculated to help the silver
industry In the least. The bill as
amended, like the original, leaves
the price of the white metal in the
hands of it's enemies. Under the
provisions of the proposed bill,
silver would soon cease to be a
precious metal. Every member
Of Congress from the silver pro-
ducing States should vote against |
the bill. Free and unlimited coin |
age Of silver is what is wanted. |
The time for compromise meas
ures is passed. Let Congress re-
store silver to its ancient place.
