NO FLIES ON HIM
Poundmaster O'NeilI Saves Horse Feed
During His Suspension.

Poundmaster O'NeilI Saves Horse Feed
During His suspension.
4 week ago the City Trustees sus-
pended Poundmaster O'Neill for one
week for some dereliction Of duty.
When the matter of his reinstatement
came up yesterday, j. d. Tate was there
to complain that horses had been running
loose about the haymarket block, and
also committing depredations upon his
property at Fifteenth and 0 streets.
This was very common, everyday
sort of complaint, but when Mr. Tate de-
clared that the horses belonged to the
Poundmaster Trustees Mclaughlin and
Conklin nearly lost their breath.
"How's that?" inquired the former,
who presided in the absence of the Mayor,
addressing the Poundmaster. ''Mr.
O'Neill, is it possible that you permit
your horses to run at large-you, whose
duty it is to see that no livestock shall be
permitted to roam the streets?''
The descendant of the old line of Irish
Kings scratched his head for a moment,
and then replied:
''Wull, yer 'oner, Mr.. Mclaughlin, ye
see il was iiSt this way. Me harSeS Wur
in made of somethin' to ate, am ye know

NOW, Mr.. O'Neill," said the presiding
Trustee, you ought TO be Il shining eX-
ample to others. Do you think that, il
we reinstate you, you can look after the
business of your important Office as il
should be looked after?'
''OPll thry, yer 'oner, to do me duty al

''Neyer mind about the invasion o1
Ireland" remarked Trustee Mclaughlin
with as much assumed dignity as pos
sible, "if we reinstate you all we ask is
that you go ahead and attend to business u

Joseph Gilmore's six-Year-OId Child
Displays Genuine Courage.
The observation-disclosures and presence of
mind of the six-year- daughter of
Joseph Gilmore. who resides at S07 Sew
enth street, doubtless saved an infant
from frightful death on Sunday night,
as well as the house from being burned.
It seems that the little girl, with two
younger children, one of them an infant,
were playing in the sitting-room, when
one of the tots pulled a lamp off a sewing
machine and started blaze. Mrs. Gill
more was in the rear portion of the house
1T the time, and did not know what had
happened until she heard her oldest child
outside the house crying "Firev'
The brave little girl had caught up the
baby and made the other child follow her
out into the street, thus saving the lives
of them all. Mrs. Gilmore succeeded in
extinguishing the fire herself.

JUSTICES FEES.
They Cut an Important Figure in the
Attachment Cases.

Attachment Cases.
w. A. Anderson, counsel for the Liquor
Dealers Association, appeared before the
Board Of Trustees yesterday and asked
that in the license attachment cases, the
City Justice be authorized to exempt the
defendants from depositing the usual S.
fee in advance of judgments being rem
dered, inasmuch as such fees would have
to be paid in by the Justices perhaps be-
fore the final determination Of the cases.
Each defendant has given q bond in
double the amount of the highest possible
Judgment, but if each should put up his
%, and the same be paid into the Treas
ury by the Justices on the lst Of the mouth,
it could not be recovered.
Mr.. Anderson explained that the bonds
are sufficient, and all that was desired
was an order that should relieve the
Justices from the necessity of requiring
the So depoSites, as the city would be
secured on the bonds in case of judgments
against the defendants.
Clinton l.. White, the city's special
counsel, informed the board that he did
not see how it could act in the matter.
The Justice of the Peace must protect
himself, and to do this must see that the
costs are paid, no matter which side gets
Judgment. The bonds filed by the LIQUOR
dealers provide only that the latter shall
pay the Justices fees in case they lose
Should the city lose, the Justice would be
without his fee, and would be RESPONSE
bic to the city therefor. Mr.. White said
the law governed the duties of the
Justice, and he thought that the board
had better not interfere in the matter.
At the afternoon session MI. Anderson
again appeared before the board and re-
newed his request. for the information of
the Mayor, who was not present in the
morning. If the defendants should win
in the courts they would, Mr.. Anderson
said, have to sue the city in each case in
order to recover their costs advanced, un-
less the city should stand in and relieve
them from the necessity of putting up
costs in advance in addition TO the bond
each has given.
Wouldn't it be cheaper for them," re-
marked the Mayor, ito pay their Ii
| censes?"
My God! Mr.. Mayor" replied Mr..
Anderson, eXcitedly, that isn't the ques-
ton! If you get Judgment against these
defendants you will get your license
money. The question now is, will you
take such action as will save my clients
So each in case they secure judgments in
| in the courts. If the city wins she will
get her money and costs under the bonds
filed. Ii the defendants win, where viii
be their s. advanced for costs?''
Trustee Mclaughlin moved that the
matter be referred to Clinton L. White,
special counsel for the city, with power
to act, and it was so ordered.
