For his Tyre is broken the illusion is o'ey.

is easy and pleasant, but it would need an

The giant pulley, working from above,

AN INTERESTING SUIT
In tho Belmont County Court-An Outside
. Sues to Recover Auotl,er's Bet.

In tho Belmont County Court-An Outsider
Sues to Recover Another's Bet.
Hon. John B. briggs, Judge OF the
Common Pleas Court for Belmont coun.
ty, has decided adversely a motion to
amend the petition in the case OF George
Wilson vs. John Shepherd. This case is
very interesting one: Wilson sued 10

herd won from ex-Auditor w. N. Golf.
land on bet on the Presidential cleo.
ton Of 1855. The authority on which
the suit was brought is found in sections
OF the Ohio State law, which provides
TINT the loser OF any bet is authorized to
enter suit to recover the amount lost by
him, and in case he does not DO so with
in six months, anybody who may choose
10 do 80 may enter suit and recover the
sum lost. This has been Il lawfor years,
but this suit Of Wilson's is only the Sec
ond instance in which on outsider has
entered suit. E-s
Judge briggs, in his remarks upon
the motion to amend the petition, took
occasion to remark that he thought such
suits should BIO discouraged, as it was
plainly receiving something OF value
without any consideration whatever. II
is not probable that the cause will be
tried as Wilson has clear case and
will no doubt receive the money. In SO
far as the statute applies to and author
ICES any member OF bettor's family to
recover the amount lost by him, the law
has something to recommend it, as a
man may often lose more than he can
afford; but the section authorizing
M outsider to recover such money and
apply it to his own use opens splendid
field for person to live without labor
upon the winnings OF his neighbors.

THE MATTEL. OF GAS PIPE

"llorrowed" by Mr.. Scclcy Occasions An.
.. other Meeting OF tho GINS Hoard.
At the last meeting Of tho Board OF
Gas Trustees, held at Mr.. Schaier's resi-
dence Monday night, Councilman Oscar
seeley repudiated tho account Of $40 Of
which Superintendent Darrah had 80
carefully and secretly treasured against
him for nearly three years, on memoran.
DUN slips, for pipe borrowed while Mr..
Sceley was President OF tho Board OF
Trustees. After Mr.. seeley had made
his declaration, tho Board decided TO
recommend to Council full and com.
pietc investigation Of the accounts OF the
Gus Works for tho period during which
Mr.. Seeley was President Of the Board,
and 10 further recommend to Council
that It proceed against the joint bond OF
SIG, 0OOgiven by Mr.. Seeley and Messrs.
Jepson and Lewis, his colleagues, for
tho recovery OF the bill for Dor.
rowed pipe which Superintendent
Darlah first used MS campaign thunder
and then delivered to the Board OF
Trustees. Mr.. j. =. Rogers has been
retained by the Board In the case, and a
meeting was to have been held In his
Office Yesterday afternoon for tho pur.
pose Of formulating the Communications
10 Council, and to consider the various
matters connected with the case. Secre.
tarry Franzheim, Superintendent Darrah
and Afcssrs. Dunievey aud Schultz were
present, but AIR. Rogers was detained
elsewhere, and no meeting was held.
1t is asserted by member Of tho
Board OF Trustees that Superintendent
Darrah says that Mr.. Seeley frequently
took pipe from tho Gas Works during
his absence, and that no account Of that
pipe was ever kept, even on memoran.
dunn slips. 1t is also said that the books
OF tho Works show that great deal more
pipe and other materials were bought
by the Works during the two years Mr..
Seeley was President than was ever
bought during any two years before OF
since. Superintendent Darrah says that
IN account OF the pipe and other mate
rails used in each individual Job OF work
ia kept, and It is the intention Of the
Board to make an investigation and
learn the exact difference between thu
amount OF material purchased during
tho two years and tho amount used on
city work, thus giving the exact amount
that was borrowed, or otherwise es
capped from it's legitimate abiding place
This investigation tho Board will ask
Council to make, and unless that body
whitcwnshcs the whole thing some in
teresting developments may be expected
1t is not explained what has become O
the Gas Boards nerve, nor why 1t doet
not proceed with this investigation itself
on the authority given it by Council
when the whole matter was referred
back to the Board with power to act.
