FREEHOLDER PLUMS.
What the Board Will Probably
Give Out Today.

The Board of Freeholders will meet at
four o'clock this afternoon, and it is pos
sible that the meeting may be of the
greatest Importance to a number Of the
counIy's employees. Before the meeting
taxes place. a caucus will be held by the
Democratic majority, and the question
of reappointing old employees, or aP-
pointing new ones will bs the subject
discussed by the caucus.
The board can fill by new appoint
ments the places of Warden Ryan of tbs
Almshouse; DR.. King. Superintendent OF
the Lunatic Asylum; Judge McGrRth.
| Counsel to the Board OF Freeholders; DR..
Converse. County Physician. and all post
tions filed by minor officials, such as
| storekeeper. deputy wardens, keepers
and attendants. The position of assist
ant clerk of the board may also be filed.
l conyersed with number of men who
generally know what changes caucus
| may recommend and the concensus of
| opinion was that the present board would
make but few changes, and II any at all
| were made they would be among tne
minor offices. did not not find any
! one who believed that Warden Ryan,
| Superintendent King, Judge McGrath,
! DR.. Converse or Assistant Clerk Noon
an would be removed. The offices of the
| Warden of the Penitentiary, County Col-
| lector, County Superintendent end Clerk
| or the Board Of Freeholders do NOT De-
come vacant this year. and in conse-
| quence these Offices will not be consider
Ell in caucus.
| A FreehoIder told me- that he did not
| believe any changes would be made
| today, but he said he was not sure and
could not say positively until after the
caucus was held. He said that
| majority of the offices had
been filled by the members
of the board who were not reelected
last spring, and that the new members
were being pestered to death by appll.
cations for positions. The caucus was
called to see if something could not bs
done for these hungry constituents.

special from Seattle Falls says tna5 Gov
ernment Surveyor A. Mcdonald aud
party arrived there yesterday. having
been forcibly driven off the Colville Res
ervation by Indians. McDouaid has a
contract to subdiyide thirty-six town
ships on the Reservation. and had been
at work three days when large force of
young bucks, well armed, appeared on
the scene aud ordered the surveyors off
the Reservation under penalty OF being
shot.
Being poorly armed and greatly out
numbered. Mcdonald was forced to with
draw his party, and he has wired the
Government OF the state of affairs.
The Indians claim as a reason for their
action that the division line was not be-
ing properly located as agreed upon by a
treaty with the Government.

BLANKS FOR BIDDERS.

City Hall Builders Are Plentiful-Doubts
As to the Funds.
The City Hall Commissioners are in
session almost daily, from nine o'clock
until four, to distribute contrac-
tor blank forms of bids and
specifications. The revised plans call for
the erection Of building which will cost
considerably more than the original
building as mapped out by Architect
Brooine. The Commission now has at
its disposal S55. 900 with which to pur-
chase the Grove street end OF the
site and erect the building. The
Grove street end will probably
cost 1900, 900. ana this gives the Commits
sion $3.50. 600 with which to cause irsserec-
tion. There is some doubt as to The pos
sibility of bailding tns proposed nall
with the sum at hand.

tackle, and all went well until it was
within foot or so of the bottom, when
suddenly the heavy oaken beam from
which the mould was suspended gave
way. The heavy mass dropped upon the
core, breaking off the edges and rendering
it unit for use in casting perfect bell
The breaking of the beam was caused by
a flaw in the wood. 1t is probable that
the casting will occur in about two weeks.

PRESIDENT THURsTON's SIDE OF IT.

Mayor Wanser, He says is Mistaken.
In an article published in this morn
fng's World Mayor Wanser, in explain
ing the reasons for his opposition to the
Traction Companies ordinances. is
quoted as incidentally remarking that
the Jersey City and Bergen Railway
Company is trying to get into Newark to
relieve the steam roads of the local traffic,
aud also that the j.. G. q. b. Railway
Company pays the city no taxes.
Mayor Wanser may have been mis-
uuoted,n said President Thurston this
morning. "but If ne said these things he
is evidently laboring under u misappre-
heusion of facts. In the first place 1t is
the Newark Plank Road Comp any that
is try ing to get into Newark. The j. C.
& B. aud the Newark Plank Road are
two separate concerns, though / am

sessed by the State Board of Assessors.
The company pays the taxes to the State
and the city gets back its share. Last
years returns will show that the assessed
valuation of the company's property
was over $4,000 900. It the State did not
do this the city would have to be CORES
