THE MAYOR KICKS.
A RUCTION POSSIBLE BETWEEN HIS
HONOR AND COUNCIL.
A Triangular Fight Between the Council,
the Mayor and the Street Superin-
tendent All About Temple-street
Widening.

There is considerable trouble at the
city hall brewing between the council
the mayor, the street Superintendent
and others, over recent piece OF street
improvement. Several weeks ago the
council let contract for the widening
of Temple street, near the city limits
work involving fill OF seventeen feet
The contractors were McLain and Hall
and they have done the work.
Now that they have finished the job
and come into the hall for their money,
it turns out that no one has any right to
pay them, because the regular legal re.
quirements as to requisition have not
been complied with. V
No requisition for the amount neces.
sary was ever passed by two-thirds
vote of the council, as the law requires,
nor was such requisition ever submit
ted to the mayor for his approval.
Without the requisition the auditor will
not audit, nor will the treasurer pay the
account. Mayor Hazard declares that
under no circumstances will he allow
a payment to be made in the case,
because it is wasting of public
money attempted in an illegal manner.
The mayor stated yesterday that the
present case was in every way similar
to difficulties he had had with former
council. In that case the city was sued
for such an account, and when the city
attorney declared that the city had no
defense the mayor undertook the de-
tense himself and won the case. After
ward council refused to pay counsel fees,
and Mayor Hazard holds a Judgment for
them today, after having paid them out
of his own pocket. The reason given by
council for making the refusal was that
the legal reputation had not been
passed. In the present instance, the
situation is similar. The mayor will
fight the payment of the account be
cause, firstly, it was not incurred in 9
legal manner; and because, secondly,
the work is declared to have been en-.
tirely unnecessary and superfuous, in a
district where there is hardly any
traffic.

CHURCH ORGAN.
The New Organ for Emmanuel Church
ts., Arrived, 80.

The splendid large organ, built by
Jardine & Son. of New York, for the
Emmanuel Presbyterian church, has
just arrived. Mr.. Charles Jardine ia on
his way here and will superintend its
erection in the church. After it has
been put together and has been thor
oughly tested by Mr.. Jardine, the ladies
of the church will give an organ recital
whore our people will be enabled to
listen to the mnsic OF what Mr.. Jardine
calls one Of the finest instruments ever
turned out by his factory. The reason
of the long delay in receiving the organ
was due to the fact that the manufac-
turers were compelled to employ their
entire force upon the great organ they
recently finished for Talmage's Brooklyn
tabernacle. The Emmanuel organ was
ordered built by Mr.. A.. s. Rollins, Of
this city, who donated it to the church.
1t cost $4,000 and the Jardines are pro-
fuse in their praises of TIE excellence
and superiority of its make.

ABOUT MILEAGE.
Waldrons Claim Brings Out Some New
Points,

Waldron's Claim Brings Out Some New
| Points.
Since the rejection OF the demand oi
s. V. Waldron for mileage while in at
tendance at one of the departments oi
the superior court, on the ground that
he had not actually travelled the dis
tance accredited to him on the warrant
each day during his term OF service,
there has been a great amount OF dis
cussion about the court house regarding
jurors fees and mileage.
The facts in Mr.. Waldron's case are
briefly as follows: He was summoned
on term trial jury in department one,
and ON the first day travelled from his
ranch to this city, a distance of about
| fifty miles. During the remainder of his
| service he remained in the city and at
| the end of the mouth put in a demand
| for mileage from the ranch for each days
attendance. The demand was rejected
by the board and settlement will have
to be made by the court. The district
attorney has given an opinion 10 the
board on the question of jurors fees,
which states in substance that juror
should only receive mileage for the dis
tance actually travelled by him each
day.
| 1t is question amongst county Off
cials whether this construction OF the
law is proper one, and it is said that
the Judges OF the superior court are di-
| vided in their opinion on the law pro-
viding for jurors fees. fa
One member of the board of super
visers, in talking of the matter yester-
| day, took the position that If man is
summoned as juror from point 80
distant that he cannot reach home each
night, he is entitled to mileage for each
day he spends in the city by the re-
anirement OF the court, and in defense
Of this position argued that the law does
not contemplate that a man living, say
at San Pedro, and by reason of Dot being
able to get home, shall lose his mileage,
while another man residing at place
which he can reach each night, shall
benefit by the law. i'''t
The board will consider the question
at today's meeting. s,ifa

With a railroad White Sulphur Springs
would soon become one of the leading min
ing centers OF the state, says tho husband
man. The mining camps around about are
all promising and would be worked II we
had a railroad. Murray district is only
fifteen miles to the southwest. Blrch creek
cen miles west, Sheep butte md sheep
mountain fifteen miles north, Newlan
creek fifteen miles northwest, Copperopolis
is but seventeen miles east and four,miie
ia but seven miles away. There IS also a
fine group of mines on Willow creek. five
miles distant, and the Alabama group is
about three miles away. Hence it will be
seen the town is located in the center or a
rich mining field, second to none i'll Mon
tana.
One of the remarkable things of the age
is that such a fine group of mines as those
of Copperopolis should be allowed to re-
main undeveloped for u quarter OF a CEN
fury. These mines were located IN let6,
twenty-five years ago, yet are ONLY snth-
GENTLY DEVELOPED to-day to prove that they
are very valuable. The group consists OF
seven patented claims, all of which show
up good bodies of ore. In 1874 Ben hlngs-
berry and Ben Stickney shipped ten tons
from these mines via the mouth OF the MUS
selshell and the Missouri river east and 1t
yielded $50 per ton. Two years ago Spen-
Ger, Mayn d Hoffman and John g. l.. Bat
ker shipped thirteen tons to the Parrot
works at Butte which yielded $3.50 clear of
working expenses. The leads here are

KANSAS City, May S.-There is trouble in
the execution of judgments in the recent
bono cases against Cass and St. Clair conn
ties. 1t grows out OF the refusal of judges
of county courts to levy taxes for the pay
ment of these judgments. The Judge of
each county mas announced his deter NINA
ton to go to jail rather than order the tax
on the people. There are two judgments
against st. Clair county, one in favor of
b. d. Stewart and the other in favor of the

eating over 100000. When Deputy Mar
shall Oechsly served papers on the judges
yesterday they told him they would never
order the tax; that they had been elected
under promise to the people never to levy a
tax for the payment of these bonds and that
they were not only indisposed to do it, but
were afraid to. The condition of affairs
in Cass county is even more despe rate.
Judgment was iendered some time ago in
favor of Albert Parker, capitalist, of San
Diego, Cal, for about $lO0.O00 A man
damus ordering a levy of taxes vas granted
by the court and disregarded. Three
judges were arrested and gave bonds in the
sum of $1,000 to appear before court il

The bonds are railroad bonds and were is-
sued by the counties twenty years ago.
