WHO'LL SPEND THE MONEY =?
Ninety-Five Hundred Dollars Will
BE Haogled over.

NInety-FiVe Hundred Dollars Will
BE Haggled over.
A meeting was held yesterday after
noon in the mayors office which was
attended by Asscmblymen Reardon,
DAILY and Johnson and Aid. Warren aud
Zimmerman. These gentlemen com
prise the special committee appointed
from the council To consider the best
plan of providing for the unemployed,
and also to advise as to the spendingof
the 50, 500 which can be used of the citYs
funds for this purpose. .
Assemblyman Reardon enlivened the
session by calling attention to the man
ner in which the S150,0L0 set apart for
the street and sewer force was eXpend-
ed. According to Mr.. Reardon'S state
ments there is more money spent in hir-
ing bosses for the street and sewer force
than is paid to the men,
The mayor and Comptroller McCardy
took part in the discussion. the comp
troller announcing that the conditionsof
the street and sewer fund was such that
not much employment could be given
to anybody unless money was received
from delinquent taxes to make up the
full amount of the appropriation.
At the last meeting of the board of
Aldermen resolution was passed
directing the sale of $4,000 worth of
certificates. the proceeds to be used by
the mayor in conjunction with citi-
Zens' committee i'll caring for the un-
employed. The same resolution will
come before the assembly at the meet
ing tomorrow night. but the chances
are that it will not go through. 1t re-
quires eight votes to pass the resolution,
and several of the members of that body
are opposed to the money being spent
by the citizens committee i'll the, man
ner proposed.
ASSemblyman Reardon stated last
evening that the bureau for the unem-
ployed opened in the court house by the
citizens committee was doing practl-
cally nothing but waiting for the city to
give them the So, 800 to use. Already.
Mr.. Reardon said, the grocers had held
meetings, and were only waiting until
the committee ha q the funds in hand,
when the price of provisions would be
raised. The money, he thought. if dis
bursed, should be spent under the
supervision of the council, and not by
outside parties.
At the bureau for the unemployed, up
to closing hour last evening .4S2 persons
had registered, and of this number
about 60 had been given employment
by being sent to DEVILS Lake to work
on the Great Northern at that point as
laborers. The number of persons who
registered at the bureau yesterday was
eighteen, but the secretary was of the
opinion that there would be a much
larger registration if the men could be
given work. Citizens having any kind
of work for men are requested to call at
the bureau, and help will be promptly
furnished.

AUSTRIA VS.. AFRICA.

The Row That Occurred Between Some
Albert Scott, very brswny and very
black, had his examination in Justice
Bartholomew's court yesterday for stab
bing Slavonian named Pete vike.
Both the colored man and the Aus
trian were laborers in camp south Of
the city where work on the outfall
sewer is going on.
In one tent there were four Austrians
and the colored man. The night of the
trouble alii had retired to their cots.
About 8 o'clock Pete Vike saw Scott
stealthily walking over to the cot of one
OF the sleeping Slavs. He saw the Mis-
sissippi darkey slip his hand under the
pillow and draw it out. Then he went
around TO the other side of the cot and
put his hand under the pillow. Vike
cried out to his companions that they
we're being robbed, and Scott ran out oi
the tent. He came back, however.
Mr.. Hughes, brother of the con-
tractor, sleeping in an adjoining tent,
heard the noise. He came to the Aus
trians' tent and asked what was the
matter. Scott called to him to come in,
and he did 30. What followed is best
described by Hughes:
Scott was standing in the back part oi
the tent, and all the Austrians were
lying in their hunks. Scott called out
''The lying - says was robbing."
Pete Vike, who was lying in his cot,
said: you were."
Then Scott tried to Jump on him and
kicked him on the head with his bare
foot. Vike raised up and pushed Scott
back. He struck Scott on the chin.
The negro, being stronger, with his left
hand pushed Vike back on the cot, and
STOPPING stabbed him in the left side,
Then he slipped around me and ran out
of the tent and got away"
Vike was pretty badly hurt, and the
blood gushed from his wound in quite a
stream. lie was treated. however, and
got we'll. Scott was afterwards cap.
tured.

prosecution, no defense being put in,

Contracts.

Bids Accepted Yesterday for the Sub
Contracts.
A meeting of property owners on Third
street, between Los Angeles and San
Pedro streets, was held yesterday to ac-
oept bids for sub-contracts for paving
Third street.
The council week or two ago vetoed
the mayors Recommendation to not let
the contract, as he was OF the opinion
that the bid OF the Porphyry Paving
company was too high. After awarding
the contract the council gave permission
to the contractor to make sub-contracts
for the cement work, sewer and the
grading. Following are the prices as
contracted by the council; Curb, 80
cents per lineal foot sidewalk, 15 cents
per linoal FOOT sewer, $l.121s; SUBJ
grade, II y cents per square foot.
/. At the first meeting OF the property
owners, as we'll as in this council, the
contractor said he would sub-let the con-
tract to private persons. The result
was the bids, which were accepted yes
terday, Frank Lindentelt being the sue
cessful bidder. The bid was: Curb,
40 cents; sidewalk, per square foot,
ll% cents; sewer, including manholes
and fueh tanks, 81 q foot; sub-grade,
1cent square foot.
After careful figuring 1t was found
that the sub-contracts will be reduc-
( tion OF about $4,000 from the original
contract. Aa the credit goes on the
bonds the property owners will not have
to pay cash for the improvement.

No Money in Scuppernongs.

We still occasionally hear someone
say: "3cuppernong grapes have no
CONNIE rcial value :" nevertheless, Mr..
VIM. Chambers, of Winter Haven, has
fourteen vines, seven of the old soup
pernong sort and seven Thomas I'm
proved scuppernong, which are some
thing of bonazain small way. Thes g
fourteen vines were planted in 1887 and
were fertilized at the time, but have not
been since; yet they now cover an arbor
twelve feet wide and 400 long and have
given three crops of fruit. In 1891 the
crop sold for SIS, and this years crop,
though sold at much lower price per
pound than last year, brought 800. Be-
sides he has used at home and given to
neighbors at least SIS or $40 worth. A
thing that occupies only 10th Of an acre
of ground, and produces 5000 in the first
five years from planting, with GER
tainty of yielding twice or three times
as much the next five years, must have
some Commercial value" At any rate
the cultivation of such vines is very
profitable amusement.
Mr.. Chambers vines, it should be
stated, are not on hammock, but on Or
binary gray, sandy, high pine land.
Mr.. Chambers also has budded clus-
ter grape fruit tree (pomelo) set five
years ago, from which he obtained a
fair crop last year and five boxes this
year and he has tropical paw-paw,
jmelon or Brazilian paw-paw) carica
papaya planted in the spring of 1890,
which began fruiting in September fol-
lowing, and has borne blossoms and
fruit in every stage every day since
