THE CITY CHARTER.
Proposed Amendments Discussed by
the Special Committee.

the Special Committee.
The special committee appointed by
the council to investigate the matter of
the proposed amendment to the city
charter met again yesterday afternoon,
pursuant to adjournment on Tuesday
last, in the city attorneys office.
Chairman Shafer announced that
three communications had been re-
ceived. The first was from the board of
education, and was signed by President
A. E. Pomeroy and Superintendent
Friesner 1t suggested that members OF
the board of education be elected at
large, that the term of office be three
years, instead of two, and that one
third of the members go out every year; /;
and that members of the school board
be elected at a special election held for
that purpose, when only six voting
places would be necessary, and but little
expense would attach to it.
The second letter Was from Lewis &
Pinkham, and suggested that one-third
of the councilmen go out every year. The
following schedule of salaries was pro-
posed: Mayor, $1,000 year; members
of the council, 800 per month, the same
as at present; clerk and auditor Zone
office), $500; assessor, 1920; engineer,
$500; attorney, $500: superintendent
of buildings, $1,000; street superinten-
dent $1,000; chief of police, $500; health
officer, $1,000; chief of fire department,
$1200
The third letter, from r. Verch, sug-
gested that the offices of city and county
tax collector be combined, and that
property be assessed every two years, in
stead of yearly as at present.
A postal card signed ga Republican,
suggested that the mayor be elected by
the people and that he appoint the
members of the council.
1t appeared from the following discus
sion that the sentiment of the committee
was unanimous in favor of combining
the offices of tax collector for the city
and county, but the city attorney
thought it would necessitate such an en-
tire change that there was danger OF
defeating the whole thing, and the mat
ter was dropped until the law could be
examined further.
President Frankenfeld moved that the
number of councilmen be increased from
nine to eighteen, two from each ward,
anu blldG Hail Dc tlcCUcu cNcIy ySuI ViIc
remainder holding over. He said that
greater security lay in a large body
that it would be harder for corporations
to manipulate council of that size
than for smaller number, and that be-
sides it would be q protection to the
councilmen themselves, as they would
not be criticised to such an extent as q
smaller body would be.
that ,f ;rt,f n,
cilmen were agreed upon he would
favor reducing the salary to $50 per
month, as he was opposed to any meas
ure that would increase the cost to the
city. 1t was decided to lay the matter
over for a week for further considera.
ton.
The committee finally adjourned to
meet again Friday afternoon at
o'clock, at the same place, when steps
will be taken for formulating the fna
report. ~

NEW YORK'S CENSUS.
MANIPULATED IN THE INTEREST
OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
Secretary Mobiles Faith in the Accuracy
of the Count Not Shared by the Pub
lic-Gov. Hill Demands Recount.

ALBANY, Oct. Ex-Governor Hill has
written to Secretary Noble, asking new
enumeration of New York city. He says
the alleged difference of 200, 900 names
will make difference to the state of at
least one memberin in congress in the next
apportionment, and one vote in the cleo
toral college. He further says that the
secretary's confidence in the thorough
ness of the federal census is not shared
by large portion of the people of New
York city. He says all the enumerators
were Republican partisans, appointed
for past political service, and that it was
to their political interest that their party
should be the beneficiary of their labor.

THE SMALL BOY.
He Remembers Halloween and Gel
ebrates 1t.

Small boys carrying gates, pulling
down signs. ringing door-bells, and en-
gagged in similar pastimes, occupied the
attention of the police last night. Very
few people, except the boisterous small
boy, remembered that it was Halloween,
until he commenced to get in his work.
A policeman found a crowd of youths
surrounding an object on Ninth street,
but was Immediately left alone with his
prize, which turned out to be some
body's wagon loaded with old tin cans.
One youngster was caught in the act Of
stealing the gate to his own house, so
enthusiastic had he become. The Off
GERS were reminded of their own boy
hood. No arrests.

The Attempt Of an 1ncendiary to
Cause a Big Blaze.
At 5:25 O'Clock las5 night the fire brig
ade was called out to extinguish mys-
terious blaze in Southern Pacific box
car on the Mission and Date-street
switch. The car in question was empty,
but from the fact that it was attached to
six others laden with oil, it is supposed
that the blaze was the work OF an incen-
diary, who hoped to ignite their contents
by this means. Fortunately they were
detached and removed to a place Of
safety without accident, and the fire was
extinguished before much damage was
done to the empty car. There was no
clue as to the perpetrator of the outrage.

She Did Not Know washington.s Face.

She Did Not Know WashingtOn's Face.
A party of several ladies and gentle
man visited the capitol not long ago,
and while there an incident happened
which caused more merriment among
the clerks and employees in the building
when they heard of 1T than anything
else has for a long time. The party
were from New York, and as they wan
dered about the capitol one of the young
ladies seemed to take an especial de-
light in trying to show her companions
the inferiority OF the Connecticut capitol
as compared with that at Albany. In
the course Of their wanderings about the
building they entered the Senate cham
ber where Stuart's fine portrait of Gen
eral Washington hangs, and the would
be smart young lady, glancing at it,
asked in a sarcastic tone;
"Whose portrait is that ?'
One of the clerks in the building hap
pened to be standing near and overheard
the question, and supposing that the
young lady was joking, he volunteered
the information that it was General
Jackson's portrait. The answer satisfied
her and she was innocence itself, un-
til she noticed an amused smile on the
face OF her companions. When she in
quired the cause one of them replied:
why, don't you know George Wash
ington?"
The young lady took second look at
the portrait, and then blushed furiously
as she replied
"Well, it's such daub no wonder l
didn't recognize him."
But now it was the clerks turn. He
couldn't stand by and hear the por-
trait, one of the finest in existence of
Washington, called 'daub," and he
therefore informed the young lady
that her own state of New York had
offered S75 900 for that very painting to
hang in the capitol at Albany, and
the offer had been refused. The young
lady now began to feel decidedly un-
comfortable and cast about for some
way of escape from her predicament.
Suddenly she seemed to see a ray OF
| hope and exclaimed:
Il must have been looking at the
picture in bad light"
With that she walked some distance
to one side, where, after pretending to
scrutinize the picture closely from that
better point of view, she added:
''Oh, now see it much better. It's
a remarkably fine likeness, isn't it?"E
1t is probable that hereafter she will
acknowledge that even away out here in
the country there are some things which
the great state of New York wants very
much, but can't have for love or money.
1t is possible, also, that she may recog-
nize the face of Washington when she
sees it again.-Hartford COurdnt.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-The senate to-
day resumed consideration of the bill
regarding national banks, etc. the pend
ing question being the amendment Of
fered yesterday by Power to strike out
the first section, which reduces to 81 900
the amount OF bonds required to be de-
posted. After some remarks by Cock
rell, who said the secretary of the treas
ury had paid out every dollar of the sur
plus in order to save New York
spectators their imaginary profits in
speculations and gambling, the bill was
laid aside without action. The senate
then passed the bill authorizing the Sec
retary of the treasury to settle the
indebtedness of the government to the
Sioux City and Pacific railway; also the
following: Senate bill to provide addi-
tional lights on navigable channels on
Puget sound and the rivers tributary, in
the state of Washington; senate bill
granting right OF way through
Fort Douglas military reservation
in Utah, to the Salt Lake City
street railroad company senate bill ex-
tending the privileges OF free delivery to
towns having population of 5000 or a
gross postal revenue Of $1,000; also the
senate bill amending Section S37, Re-
ylsed Statutes, relating to the ices OF
attorneys, marshals and clerks of
Oregon, Nevada, Idaho. Montana, North
and South Dakota and Wyoming.
The senate then resumed con-
sideration of the house bill to
define and regulate the jurisdiction
of courts of the United States and the
substitute therefor reported by Evarts
from the judiciary committee. An
amendment was agreed to, providing
that the circuit court of appeal, in cases
in which judgment is made final. shall
have the same appellate jurisdiction, by
writ OF error or appeal, to review
judgments, orders and DEGREES
of the supreme courts of the several
territories, as by this act they have to
review judgments, orders and DEGREES OF
district and circuit courts, and for that
purpose the several territories, shall by
orders of the supreme court to be made
from time to time, be assigned to
particular circuits.
Without further action the bill was
laid aside informally, and eighty-five
private pension bills passed.
Adjourned.

REMOTE RIOTS.
Sanguinary Encounters in the Wilds of
West Virginia.

West Virginia.
CATLETTsBURG, KY, Sept. 20. The
Brewer, Dempsey and Blaisden war
broke out again in Logan county, West
Virginia, Wednesday. At the mouth OF
Pigeon creek a general fight between the
two factions took place. James Demp-
sey was shot and instantly killed. George
Walter, member of the Blaisden fac
ton, and one Clark, were severely cut.
The particulars which led to the killing
date back some years. Both factions
met at sheriff's sale Monday, and Con
Dempsey was shot by his brother John,
but not fatally injured. Both sides are
arming themselves, and renewal OF
hostilities is expected.
Advices of reliable nature received
today from Louisa, Kentucky, say on
Twelve Pole creek, near Wayne court
house, West Virginia, Friday, a terrible
fight occurred between a sheriff's posse
and gang of Italian railroad laborers,
in which several Italians were killed,
and number wounded.
Some weeks ago, a contractor on the
Norfolk and Western railroad, named
keogh, went away, leaving numerous
creditors, among the number being the
Italians. A new contractor took posses
sion of the abandoned works, and put
number of laborers to work
in the cut formerly worked by the 1tal-
ians. The latter refused to allow any
one to work in the cut until they had re-
ceived pay for the work done under
Keogh, and proceeeed to drive out the
new laborers. Three times the new
laborers were run out. The contractor
applied to the court for protection, and
was furnished posse OF about dozen
men, headed by the sheriff OF Wayne
county.
Last Friday the sheriff appeared and
made an attempt to arrest Italians, who
fiercely resisted, and an unequal combat
resulted, with forty or more Italians on
one side, armed with stones. knives and
revolvers, and the sheriff's men on the
other The Italians fought from behind
trees, stones and whatever would shield
a mans body. Firing became general
and lasted some minutes. Several Italians
were killed and several wounded. The
sheriff. men escaped with few severe
bruises. About twenty Italians were
arrested and taken to Jail. The remain
der escaped to the woods. The scene OF
the fight is forty or fifty miles from
here, and remote from railroad and tele-
graph communication

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator Pierce
today offered the following joint resolu-
ton: Whenever it shall appear by the
filing of such evidence in the Office of
any register or receiver, as shall be pre-
seribed by the secretary OF the interior,
that any settler on public lands, by rea-
son of failure of crops for whicn he is in
no wise responsible, is unable to make
the payment on his homestead or pre-
emption claim, required by law, the
commissioner of the general land Office
is hereby authorized to extend the time
of such payment one year, and failure to

penalty shall be exacted for such extern
sion
