Over $3oo,ooo Owing on Demands
Which Will Entail Suits.
The Finance Committee decided to In
struct the City Attorney to confess judg-
ment in suits against the city aggregating
$50. 900 yesterday. Bills for the amount
had been RESENTED to the Board of Super.
vsors in January, February and March.
No provision was made for their payment
and suits were commenced to compel pay
rient.

mittee has been preparing a sta ement,
which shows that The city owes S315.OOO
which it cannot pay. The salary demands
for June aggregate $500. 600 and there Is no
money In the treasury to pay them. In ad-
dtiOn there are on file demands for S115,-
OOl 80, which the Supervisors have no au-
th0rity tn pay this year. because they rep
resent bills contracted during the last fiscal
year. The law prohibits the payment of
bills of ono year out OF the revenue of an
other.
The demands against the depleted
general fund amount to S64, 1S1 13. OF this
amount SIS. .462 19 is due for wafer, SS43S
for lighting and $11. $50 for FIRE purpose ex-
elusive of deDar msnt salaries. The de-
mands against the street fund are SAG, 6,6O1.
of which S9S49 Is due for repairing streets
and sewers and $l3,YOO for building the
steel bridge across Fourth street. The un-
paid bills for stationery amount to S4119
and those against the street-light fund
aggregate S196O1.

on all these demands, and In the next fiscal
year an Appropriation made for the liQui-
datlon OF the Judgments.

THE ALMSHOUSE PATRONAGE
A Combination i'm the Board of Health
to Create Vacant Office With
Good Salary.

There was a somew hat lively m Getting OF
the Board of Health yesterday, the princi-
pal discussion arising from a proposal to
investigate all the institutions under the
control of the board and particularly the
Almshouse. There have been exciting
scenes in that home lately and the Super
Dtendent described them to the board.
DR.. Reeens5urger commenced the trouble
at yesterdays meeting. With DR.. Mays
and DR.. Bucknall he is credited with de-
sire for the scalp Of Superintendent
Weaver of the Almshouse. while Mayor
Elert and DIR. Long desire Weaver's re-
tenton. AS it takes four votes to remove
an official it is unlikely that there will be
change in the SUPPLEMENTARY unless
something unexpected be DEVELOPED at the
investigation to be held at the AlmshOuse
tomorrow.
The matter was brought to the attention
Of the board by DR.. Regensburger. who
requested Superintendent Weaver to re-
late the recent troubles at the Almshouse.
"A few days ago." began Mr.. Weaver,
longing to the house had been put on the
wagon of the butcher. who had called on
his rounds. On examining the wagon l
discovered a pound package of tea and two
pounds of coffee. The butcher said he
had got them downtown, but the in
former said the packages came from the
kitchen. and think they did"
"Who is the guilty party?" asked Re-
gensburger
Il have not been able to find ont" was
the reply. 1.-The informer said it was the
cook"
"What happened then, Mr.. Weaver?"
"A great row between the informer and
the cook followed. Angry words and hard
names were exchanged. Then the in
former drew knife on the cook and the
latter ran for his Ratchet. l Shut the door
between them and kept them apart"
"Who Is the informer" asked the
Mayor.
HE is very unreliable man." an
swered Weaver.
ut is Mr.. Henderson," said ReQens-
burger. quickly. "He has been at my
office several times. He seems to be an
honest old man. l believe he tells the
truth Further, the cook had Henderson
ARE sted for drawing the knife. Now, MY
belief IS that Henderson was attacked bv
the cook with hatchet and that he DIRE "
MS knife to defend himself. | think the
matter should be Investigated"
II understand" said the Mayor. that
TINS man Henderson has been playing
detective for some time. 1t might be we'll
to have confirmatory evidence of these
petty thefts''
In this case Mr.. Weaver does not know
who the thief is and the only way to find
Out Is 10 hold an investigation" said DR..
Regensburger. Il believe in putting a
stop to this wholesale system of piIfering
in public institu~io $. 1t must bu stopped.
and to do this VIC must discover and punish
the chief l hear complaints of this loot
ing business all the time
Mayor Ellsrt sale that these complaints
should be made to the secretary of the
board and not 10 individual mem bers.
Anonymous communications were being
sent to him continually.
Dr.. Re2ensburger replied that il an in

mate lodged formal complaint, and his
name was known, he was discharged and
so he was afraid to tell.
''Of whom is be afraid?" asked the
Mayor.
"Of the superin tendent, l suppose" re-
piled RegenSburger.
DR.. Long said he had not heard of these
complaints, which was strange, if the dep
relations were so common as DR.. Regens-
berger insnuated. He said that these
charges of stealing were frequently base
less and actuated by petty spite.
Regensburger urged that the investiga-
tlOn should take place at once, saying that
the board owed such an act to the public.
The Mayor SAID he did not think it right
to waste valuable time over petty trfles.
and reminded DR.. Regensburger that he
had voted with the rest not TO consider
these trifling grievances. DR.. Long CO.
incided with these remarks.
The board finally voted to hold an in
vestigation at the Almshouse Tomorrow
the whole board to sit as an inyesti.
eating committee.
The Mayor voted no. explaining his vote
by saving that he believed in allowing the
heads OF institutions to govern. and in
holdirg those heads responsible for any
wrongd0ing. He opposed the investigation
simply because he did not propose TO lend
himself 20 the prsjud ces of eyery minor
employe in public institution who had a
grievance.
Very remarkable that you should saw
that" remarked RegeDsburger, with a
sneer.
The Mayor turned sharply around
Give me the privilege of voting as think
right" he SAID. with dignity, and DR..
Regensburger subsidized.

In addition to these forty-seven officers
and men, the a Alexander carried eighteen
expert men-of-wars-men, who were booked
simply as passengers. making sixty-tive
men IN all on board of the vessel. The
eighteen man-of-war men were in charge

A FALSE LOVER.
Bertha Sewell's Unfortunate Predic.
ament-Her LOYALTY.

A buxom girl, about 18 years old, giving
her name as Bertha Sewsl, was brought
to the Receiving Hospital yesterday bv
the special policeman of the steamer II. G.
Walker. The waicbman said that the
young woman's sickness was caused by a
premature birth on the downward Trip
last night.
Miss Sewell stated that she had been
working in a hotel at Lodi. There she met
railroad engineer. whose name she re-
fused TO give. An intimacy between the
two sprang from the acquaintance. and her
condition is the result. She told Police
Surgeon Somers that her miscarriage was
the result OF Il tall down flight of stairs,
but the physician believes that she pur-
posely brought the accident" as she
termed it, upon herself.
Tne girl is loyal to her betrayer. whom
she says is now in Chicago. She added !:
He will do the right thing by me when
he comes back" Dr. Somers thinks that
the young woman will recover.
