Mr. and Mrs. Clark sat to the right of
their counsel, john F. Cox, and looked very

announced that the hearing was to be pri-
yate, but as early as o'clock large crowd
had surrounded the Office, and before 7
o'clock every nook ana corner was filled.
After the usual preliminaries Policeman
Alex MeAllister was cafed, who testified
that he made the arrest, but did not fire a
shot. The next witness called was Police
man R. L. Calvin. His testimony is as fol-
lows:
~ went down to the house about 7:30 on
Sunday evening. 1 was secreted and noticed
Budd come out of the house. 1 followed
him, calling to halt and then fired several

FULL OF CURIOS.

A Remarkable Diary Belonging to Muir.
derer FitIimmons.
One of the most interesting features of the
case was the discovery of a diary of L red
erick Fitzimmors among his effects yester-
day. 1t shows him to have been
a very fluent writer, an excellent
penman, and man of consider
BILE intelligence. The book is full of
quotations from Byron, Cowper and Scott.
The diary is regular curiosity book.
Among his many other qualities Fitzin-
mons was versed in the medical science. his
diary containing prescriptions for almost
every known ailment. There are several
pages of the book covered with writing in
Portuguese, which have not yet been trans
lated.
There are also about so addresses of prom
inent people all over the country, which are
expected to lead to the discovery of other
gangs OF robbers similar to that with which
Fitzsimmons was connected. Several COPIES
of advertisements were also found. The
first was from New York paper and read
as follows:
A young man speaking French, Spanish and
Portuguese wants employment Best references
given. Address Paul 81 E. Ninth street, city.
One of the others read as follows:
Diamonds, watches and fine jewelry sold on
easy terms; weekly or monthly payments Ad-
dress Diamonds, 109 World.
This had been lately printed, apparently.
An advertisement was also found signed
&C. j. Montgomery, Minneapolis" asking
the acquaintance of lady with money who
would go into a lucrative business. An en-.
tire list of London theaters occupied one
page.
The name of "Lucy" appears on several
pages, as we'll as a number of short pieces of
poetry and several pages written in cipher
which cannot be translated.

HIS HONOR IS SATISFIED.

He Only Expected Six Councilmen to Sus-
tain His veto-ControlIer Morrow Sure
of a Deflciency-Arranging for the Pay
ment of Taxes at a Discount.
Mayor Gourley was not feeling a bit put
out yesterday because Councils had over
ridden his veto. He said: ST did not
think the appropriation ordinance was a
good one, and as my responsibility is as
great as that of Councils, I determined to
put myself ON record. 1 only expected six
votes in Councils, and I got seven. 1 am
still confident there will be a large de-
iciency at the end of the year."
Controller Morrow hasn't much to saw
about the matter, but he has promised to
buy a new hat for Councilman Bender il
there isn't big deficit when the year is
out.
The resolution passed by Councils aud
signed by the Mayor authorizing City
Treasurer Denniston to extend the time of
allowing discounts on September taxes has
been referred by the Treasurer TO his attor-
ney for an opinion. The resolution provides
that he shall receive September taxes until
April 10, allowing the same discount OF 5
per cent allowed during March, but all re-
ceipts for such payments to be dated March
81. The Treasurer says he has no doubt but
that it would be illegal for him to
follow the provisions of the resolution, as an
act of assembly fixes the time when such
discounts are to be allowed, and while he is
sorry he cannot extend the time for the
benefit OF the taxpayers he feels it would be
unsafe for himself and his bondsmen to OBJ
serve the resolution. He has not yet fully
decided and will be governed by his attor
news opinion to great extent.
The danger lies in the fact that if the
Treasurer should fail to shut out
OF the benefits Of the discount
the great number ol taxpayers who neces-
sarily would be shut out on account OF the
brief time allowed for payment the City
Treasury would lose from $50, 900 10 SAC, 600
in discounts. This would give some person
hostile to the Treasurer or the city govern
ment chanceto 60 into court and compel
the Treasurer or his bondsmen to make
good the amount. 1t is understood that
certain gentlemen have encouraged the
Treasurer to 60 ahead and they would
undertake to indemnify him OF loss in event
of such an emergency, and if he decides to
follow their adv vice it will probably be on
that assurance.
The City Assessors have an extra force of
men at work, and every desk in the Office is
occupied by clerks, who are figuring up the

Two Stories of the Southside Market House
May he Saved.
After an investigation yesterday Market
Clerk David Mcdonald ordered the two
towers on the south end of the Southside
Market House torn down to the second story,
as the trusses OIL which they rested are
partly burned and in danger of falling.
The butchers and farmers backed their
wagons to the curb and established mar
ket of ye-olden-time style yesterday. The
stalls were very little damaged, and it is
thought the building can be occupied by
Saturday night.
The dangerous portion of the walls and
debris is being removed under the direction
of James Mcknight and John Benz. Clerk
Mcdonald was unable 10 say what would be
done toward repairing the building, on ac-
count of the absence of Chief Bigclow, but
thought the walls would be left standing
and a roof put over the two remaining
stories.
August Kreil, of the Select Knights
Band, denies that the fire started in the
bandroom. He was the first man in the
room, and the fire did not reach it until
almost the entire building was in flames.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.

A Cleaning Girl at the Schlosser Expires
Suddenly-The Doctors Refuse to Say
What Allied Her-Charged Up to the
Grip.
Bridget Clogherty, domestic who lived
at the Schlosser and was employed there in
the capacity of cleaning girl, died sud-
denIv at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Proprietor Schlosser at once telephoned the
fact to the morguc, and directed that Under
the body
II was determined" said Mr.. Schlosser
last night, when asked about the occurrence,
that I would not be again charged with
negligence, and telephoned to the authorl-
ties to take charge of the body. At the
same time 1 sent buggy to the girls
father, who is employed in Singer, Nimick
g. Co. s mill, on the Southside, to come here.
The undertaken arrived and brought the
body to the morgue; and just as he was leav-
ing, the girls father and two relations
arrived. They appeared satisfied with the
arrangement. 1 suppose the girl died of the
grip. There are six or eight of them laid
up, and Drs. Dickson and Gentry are in
here several times day looking after them.
The girl had been here only about ten days,
and was working yesterday"
The death was heard of first at the
morgue, and there it was rumored that the
girl had been poisoned. To verify this, the
doctor: mentioned were called upon. DR..
Gentry was asked of what the girl died, and
why she had been sent to the morgue. He
winked his left eye il a mysterious manner
and said:
"I have nothing to saw. 1 thin. il is

phasized 'young') physician to talk to re-
porters; besides, the County Medical Society
does not approve of it. Ask DR.. Dickson

very curtly. "It's none of my funeral"
was his remark.

moved to her fathers house, near Point
