REFEREES GIVE JUDGMENT.

sherwin & Son Must Pay Fink q Co.,
for Goods which Were Claimed to
Have Been Returned.
Before Magistrate Sssse yesterday
afternoon there was an interesting
referee trial Joseph II Fink & Co of
Ne#Y ork brought suit against Thomas
Shefwin & Son, of this city to recover
$50 % which the former company
claimed was due them for merchandise
purchased
Joseph L. Carpenter. John Jerome
Smith and Samuel H Wilson were the
referees. H H. Ward Esq represented
the complainant, and William Michael
Byrne, Esq, argued for the defendant.
The trouble seems to have arisen over
the payment of merchandise, which the
defendants claimed to have returned to
the complainants. On the other hand
the latter claimed that this was not
received by them. The transactions
were made during the years 1891 and
1892.

as soon as possible after organization and
to allow their terms to expire with
the terms Of the councilmen, allowing
Just enough time for the new Council to
meet organize and elect their successors.
The sharp practice done in this bill,
which passed the Senate. is this: Un1er
the present law the present city audi
tor is one whose term does not expire
until August 1 and the present Council
will not have an opportunity to name
his successor. The Senate bill includes
him and guarantees aRepublican city au
ditor for one year to come, no matter
whether the next City Council is Demo.
cratic or not. The Democratic members
of the present Council have either been
hoodwinked or let the bill go through
without clear understanding of its pro.
visions.
The battle ground will be in the
House, where bill has been introduced
by Mr., Spruanoe TO allow each Council
to elect its own officials for two years,
beginning on August l. This carries
out the true intent and purpose of the
biennial act.

peculiar rumbling sound like distant
thunder. Soon it could be observed that
it was the rushing head waters Of a

Cattle, horses and other animals were
swept by, having been caught in the

damage to property is claimed, which
