COUNTY SUPERVIS0RS.-Ihe Board CT
Supervisors held an exciting meeting
,hi- morning. For some time past the
board has been divided as to the way
the financial affairs of the county have
been conducted. and Mr. r. III. Phillips,
she new member, has proposed some
radical changes, in which he is backed
by Mr.. J. w. Clarke, thus leaving Mr..
Frank Hume in the minority. Messrs.
Phillips and Clarke contend that the
board should pass upon all accounts,
even those approved and allowed by
the Court, and that the board is all
powerful in matters relating to the bus
mess affairs of the county. Mr.. Hume
cntcrtains more conservative views,
and. as heretofore stated, several ques-
tons relating to county matters will be
submitted to the courts for settlement.
This morning when the board met the
accounts of the county were taken up,
when. after some discussion, the fo!-
lowing adopted
That the report of the Board of SUI
pervisors be submitted to an account
ant for a thorough examination and
comparison with the order book of the
Court and the minutes of the board,
and that the report be extended so that
the contingent fund shall not exceed
1850.
The clerk of the board is to submit
his report to the said accountant that
may be employed by the board, and
that r. II. Phillips is empowered to
That Hon. John Critcher be employ
ed in connection witt the Common
wealth's Attorney to represent the
Board of Supervisors in the matter OF
the treasurer's compensation.
All of the foregoing were adopted by
al vote of . to 1-Messrs. Phillips and
Clarke voting aye. and Mr.. Hume no
Mr.. Hume voted no on the resolution
TO employ an accountant for the reaSon
that he did not wish to involve the
county in the additional expense, aud
because the board could examine the
accounts. Commonwealth Attorney
Johnson protested against the resolu-
ton for the same reason.
Mr.. Phillips then offered the follow
inc: Resolved, That the Overseer OF
Roads of Washington District be re-
moved thatJ F. Hagar be appointed
80 the vacancy and that the salary here,
tofore paid the overseer be discontinued
and instead thereof he shall render ac-
counts for his services,
Mr.. Phillips brought 10 specific
charges against Mr.. Walker.
Col. Smith appeared for 0verseel
Walker and exnounded the law, show.

defeated, Mr.. Phillips alone voting aye
The Treasurer's account was then
taken up aud allowances ofthe County
Court amounting to $1S5 were disallow-
ed. An appeal was taken TO the Cir
cult Court by Mr.. Armstrong, attorney
for the Treasurer.

Observation-Disclosures II and O'Clock
to-day, two horses attached to coun-
tryman's wagon which was standing i'll
front of MIR. w. H. Mays store opposite
the police headquarters became fright
rued and started up King street. That
thoroughfare was alive with people and
vehicles at the time and much apprehen-
sion was manifest for the life and limbs
of pedestrians as the franic animals
dashed along. a colored man named
Hamilton Gray, at the risk of mis- lif,
when the team reached Royal street,
ran in front of it and took hold of the
bride of one of the horses. The ami
mails plunged and reared and did every
thing they could to shake the man OIL.
but he hung on until he had brought
them to standstill. Upon learning
where the team had been stationed, he
got into it and was driving back to Mr..
Nays store, when the owner intercept
ed him aud grew exceedingly angry
when he saw the colored man hold OF
the reins. The colored man undertook
to explain the matter, but the country
man would listen to nothing and de-
MED that his horse had taken fright.
A bystander, upon seeing how the
colored man was treated, gave him
some money for his heroic act, while
the unerateful owner of the team
drove away. In all probability some
one would have been crippled or killed
had the team not been stopped.
