COHEN'S NEGLIGENCE.
Auditor Meyer Exposes His Prede.
cessor- The Books not up.

Thursday afternoon at o'clock, Audi
tor Albert Meyer, his assistants, Charlie
SauerS and Mr.. Martin, took possession
of the city auditors office. Naturally an
investigation of The books and papers Of
the Office was made and to the surprise of
these gentlemen. the ledger had not been
touched with pen and ink since May LIST,
1892.
The retiring auditor was asked how he
made out his monthly statements.
by the vouchers you see there" was
his answer.
Did you intend to continue running
this office in this careless manner. had
you been elected to serve for another
term" asked reporter
well the city would not furnish me
with help sufficient, and could not keep
the work up"
1t is the opinion of a number of pOliti-
clans that, had Cohen been reelected, the
books OF the auditors Office would not
have been touched, and in two years
time San Antonio would be in such pre-
dicament that it would take months,
probably years, TO solve the problem,
how do we stand ~
Mr.. Sauer, deputy auditor, not only
sta ted to LIGHT reporter today that the
what little posting had been done, was
entirely wrong. At this rate the city
would never have been able to get cor
rect statement OF their affairs.
There are two accountants kept con-
stantly at work on the auditors books,
having begun posting from May LIST, 1892
and 1t will be several months before the
office is ready to properly receive new
business

Some Notable Preaching,

At old Trinity church on Sunday morn

''The voice of one crying in the wilder

difficult and dangerous topic often and
judiciously let alone by preachers) show
sparks of apostolic fire. There was that
Impotence of the slightest Interpolation
between the thinking powers and the sub
ject; that determination to make them
absolutely meet and show plsinly their
natural result, which eventuates always in
a certain strict outcome of ideas that we
| call ''originality." for want Of a closer

Yet there was no likeness to the merely

New London Day correspondent from
Stonington. "The sound was frozen up
for weeks and this old whaling port had
but little intercourse with the outside
world, except toward Providence by rail.
During the frigid period a large ship,
loaded with gas coal from a foreign port,
went ashore on Watch Hill reef, and at the
| time total wreck was prophesied. There

all wrecks hereabouts received attention
from local mariners, headed generally by
Captain 'Joe" Smith, now an octogens-
rlsn. So 1t was when the good ship Amer

reef that Captain Joe mustered his wreck
