Some of the boys are on the anxious
seat as to their reappointment on the
force.
Applications and petitions for ap'
pointment on the police force are be.
ginning to roll in.
Capt. Bill Hennessy, the special

Detective O'Mesra weighs more
than any man on the force, for his
size. He tips the beam at 220 pounds,
at least he did very recently.
"There used to be three steps right
here" observed Night Clerk Kohr
the other night, pointing to the en-
trance of the station, "but now there
is but one. You see, this plaza has
been raised or filled up to the extent
of about fifteen inches"
On Dolorosa street yesterday after
noon, q white and q cOlored woman,
named Ida Glover and Emerline
Sweeny, respectively, had dispute
in which the white woman insinuated
that the coloref' ls3dy was an untruth-
full creature, whereupon the colored
woman resen ted the insult by thrash
ing the white woman, when an officer
marched them off to the bat cave.
One man who said he could spin

The man in question, Luz Garcia, was
behaving himself in a boisterous
fashion at the Monterey saloon, on
Laredo street, making the above

out second best. The little officer
took his burly prisoner to the bat
cave, where he was charged with
being drunk and disorderly and also
with resisting an officer. Garcia says
he will make affidavit against the
officer for assault.

SHORT STOPS.

What the People are Saying.
Amendments to the city charter
should be made public, so that the
people may see and discuss them.
n
But this Is not the plan of our pres
ent autocratic city government. A
committee sits In secret and matches
out amendments; the only informa-
ton that is vouchsafed to the people
is that the city attorney will put the
amendments into shape for the law
makers at Austin to pass upon.
Have the taxpayers of our city no
voice in the matter; no right to know
in advance what these amendments
are?
The fact is, there should be no
secrecy about this charter business.
The people must be consulted; 1t Is
their charter, not the charter of q set
of city officials, and paid servants of
the people.
The mayor of the city is made the
returning officer to whom the judges
of election polls report. The "vice-
mayor" is not the returning officer
under the law.
Yet we see every provision of the
law ruthlessly set aside in making
the returns of our city election.
There is no provision for q returning
board to canvass our city returns, yet
the city clerk and two or three men,
bers of the council get together and
constitute themselves returning
board.
There is no reason, why the people
should sit down and meekly submit
to tyranny, and usurpation of power on
! the part of few men, who are in
office. They should be called to ac-
count.
The legislature should be thorough
| Jy informed of the condition of our
| city affairs, and asked to give the
people of this city relief from the in
cubus of q city administration that
has perpetuated itself by high
| handed means.
| The Express comments on the
action of the people of Houston voting
down bond proposition and cites
our city as shining example of mu-
nicipal progress. Our citizens are
| opening their eyes to the facts. Its
all very fine to talk about spending
money for improvements, but If ID is
wasted the people get tired.
The last $3.50, 600 voted by our tax
| payers Is gone, and what have we
got for it? In twenty years the very
streets now improved will have to be
made over again several times, and
the people then paying taxes will pay
| the remaining sum due and the $3.50,
600 will amount to half million by
the time it is paid.
We were to have 43 miles of streets,
improved for the $3.50, 900. How many
miles have we? 1t was to cost $1,000
per mile, how much did 1t cost?
So badly have things been con-
Quoted that the taxpayers have lost
| confidence in Mr.. Callaghan's ad-
ministration. His election by the
use of Mexican voters, who pay no
taxes, will not help him.

Recent events, says the Boston
Herald, tend to excite suspicion
that the torpedo Is very much
oyerrated weapon. That it is a
formidable means Of offense there
can be no doubt, but the oft-heard
statement that in it is to be found
the means of rendering useless the
powerful battle ships Of the world
is more alIuri0g than true.
The torpedo attack .ast April on
the CHILEAN ironcIai Blanca En-
calada was indeed successful. but
only after five torpedoe5 had been
fired under very favorable circum-
stances. Of the three that hit only
one exploded. This victory of the
torpedo, such as it was, does not
seem to rebound greatly to its
credit, for the commander of the

THE ELECTRIC BONDS.
TIE BANK OF WHEELING GslS THIN AT
iOa
The Bids Aggregate $4,000, and Raugs From
Par Up To Two Per Cent
Premium.

The people who have been moved
during the past year. to attack the credit
and financial standing of the city of Wheel
ing, must have felt badly, yesterday, at
the confidence displayed by capitalists, as
was exemplihed by the bids for the six per
cent. electric light bonds. More than three
times the amount OF the loan was ten
dered. and for over quarter of million
of the same premium, ranging from one
one-hundredth Of one per cent. up TO two
per cent, was offered. The total issue OF
$4,000 was sold by the Commission
ers 10 the Bank Of Wheeling at two
per cent premium, the city thus receiving
Sl,6OO over the par of the bonds. This
large tender Of money, on short time loan,
shows both tolerably easy local money
market, and unlimited faith in the NUM-
cipsl securities, and is very satisfactory
condition of affairs all around. The indlca-
tons are that there will be an equally large
tender of money for the S69,5OO Of unsold
stone bridge bonds, on November I'd, and
relatively larger premium may be realized,
as these bonds run thirty-five years, and
none are redeemable until November l,
1907.
There were twenty. one separate bids
opened at the Exchange Bank, yesterday,
the bids being as follows:

wAREHOUSEMEN's STRIKE.
Few New Developments in the Situation
Yesterday.


There was practically little change in
the situation in the warehousemen's strike
Yesterday. In the wholesale grocery sec
lion of the CITY, matters were more quiet
than on the preceding day. There were no
disturbances of any character. Yesterday
morning one Of the wagons passing the
Riverside plant was pelted with stones,
by a crowd of small boys, but no strikers
took part
Edw. Cummings, one of Baer's new
drivers, who got drunk Friday night and
was sent to the work house in default OF
payment of fine, sent a communication TO
the warehousemen, stating that ne hao
quit work as promised and asked them 10
pay his fine. This is the same man who
wanted $50 or SO to go back to his poor
widowed mother in Colorado, and VINO
promised to put a card in the papers de-
nouhcing his employers. Cummings will
remain in the workhouse. The strikers
lost no opportunity yesterday to explain
the situation to the new men, and try 10 In
duce them TO give up their positions.
One of the two warehousemen sent to
Pittsburg returned yesterday He met
the Pittsburg Warehousemen, and learned
that the prices paid to hustlers, porters
and drivers is about 20 per cent more than
in this city. The committee did not try to
induce a grocery drummer, as heretofore
stated to canvass this city. Another com
mittee of the Warehousenen has waited
upon all the retail grocers in this city and
vicinity, and asked them not to deal with
firms employing non-union men during the
strike. Many promised 10 do so, and the
committee states that if the union houses
cannot supply the trade, drummers will
come down from Steubenville. Many mer
chants hauled goods from the wholesale
groceries in their own wagons.
The merchants held..a meeting last night
and decided to remain firm. Mr.. Henry
Baer stated last night that the Union had
called out two men employed in the firms
roasting department, and he was
glad of it, as the season is very dull. A
prominent merchant stated yesterday that
the grocers did not fear outside competi-
ton.
The Electric Motor Employees Union
A. F. & L. held a meeting at midnight and
passed resolutions of sympathy and sup
port. A special meeting of the Trades
Assembly has been called for this after
noon.

ANOTHER P-LIFTER
TURNED oYrR TO TN POLICE AND SENT TO
JAN.
Mother and Daughter the Thisvss-1hs Bistsll Case
Jailed for Breaking and Bntsrirg-Sory
Of a Observation-Disclosures Blackjack.

Another female shop litter has come to
grief. and is now in Jail, awaiting an official
inquiry into her case.
The defendant is a daughter OF Mr..
Charles Claguis, of the Eighth ward, and
her mother seems to be equally guilty
with the daughter.
The former was caught In the act Of steal
ing aclo ak at the store of Stone & Thomas,
yesterday about two o'clock, and was
caught in the alley near the Bank
of the Ohio Valley and handed
over to the police. The cloak was
hanging out in front of the store, and was
taken by the girl while she was pre-
tending to look in the window. The article
was missed at once, and the girl was
caught in the alley, as she was hurryin g
off, and the cloak taken from her. Oficer
Lukens procured search warrant, and
a visit was made to the home of the family.
The woman protested that there was no
stolen goods about the house, and when
the officer suggested looking through a
trunk, she said it would be lost time. as
there was nothing there. The officer
opened the trunk after looking about the
rest of the house, and there found two
black cashmere shawls with silk fringes,
valued at ten dollars each, and which were
stolen from Stone & Thomas. The girl
also confessed to stealing several small
articles from the "Ten Cent Store" on
Main street.
Mother and daughter were taken before
Justice Ankle, and were committed 10 jail,
IN default Of 500, for hearing Tuesday at
ten O'Clock. When Officer LukeDs started
to the jail with Mrs. Claguis, sho made
most emphatic objection, and there was
quite a scene on Market street, big crowd
collecting. She was finally marched of,
and put behind the bars, where she re-
mains.
The firm of Stone & Thomas, in common
with other retail business houses, have
been missing goods of various sorts, but
particularly wraps and shawls, for some
time past, and were completely at loss to
Rnow where the goods went, or how and
when they were stolen. The arrest OF
Mrs Claguis explains portion Of the loss,
at least.

$685.
per cent.
Governor A. B. Fleming and Col j. a.
Robinson were in the city as prospective
bidders on the bonds, it being desirable to
sell some of the U. S. currency skies held
by the University, but on learning that the
bonds only ran ten years, they decided not
to bid, preferring to wait for the stone
bridge bonds, as offering a more permanent
investment. At least one of the bids was
from out of town, being from the firm OF
Seasongood & Co., Cincinnati. Nearly all
the bidders failed to take accrued interest
into account, but one or two were made on
the understanding that accrued interest
was to be added to the premium.
No estimate for work done on the plant
has vet been passed by the Commission,
and the SSl, 900 realized will remain
untouched in the hands of the loan COM
missioners for some weeks to come.
Just the reverse in the case with the
stone bridge loan, as the commissioners will
have to liquidate at once about $!S,5OO OF
orders, being estimates Nos. and z,
passed by Council after the funds on hand
were expended.
