Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1893-01-24

IT WAS stated in yesterday s GAZETTE
that President-elcct Cleveland, accord
ing to report, intends to extend the OPP
Grafton of the civil service still further
after his Inauguration. That law 1t
must not be forgotten, destroys the
equality of the citizens of the country
by making favorite class OF those VINO
can answer quiz questions on subjects
having no relation to their official du-
ties. and providing lifelong positions
for them. 1t is hoped, for Mr.. Cleve-
lands sake, that the report referred 10
NAV not be true. The affairs OF the
country were conducted for a hundred
wears without civil service law and
every man we'll informed enough to
make the comparison, knows that that
law has not improved either the man
ners or the morals of those by whom
nublic affairs are conducted.

Resolved, That the said committee shall
have power to appear as our representatives
before the Common Council of the city OF AL
cxandria and to lay such matters before the
said Council as may be gcrmane to the sub
jects noted to the above resolutions, with q
view to securing there cooperation.
Mr.. J. C. DePutron then gave an ac-
count of the interview with Mr.. Hut
Crimson and the committee. He said
Mr.. H., who was the representative OF
a well-organized company, acted at first
like he was comforting with disor-
ganized mob, knowing that orgauiza-
ton would beat mob every time that
he had asked for data which none ofthe
committee could give and had Under
taken to show by reports that the very
trains that were late had been run on
time. He DEP had assured him that
he was mistaken, and that 800 reputa
BILE citizens of Alexandria would testify
that the train service was as the com
mittee had represented it. In reference
to new depot he said that Mr.. H. had
given the same assurance for such a
depot as he had given other committees
and had intimated that new depot
would have been built before if the
railroad company had not been
sharper than the city, Mr.. II. had ad-
mitted that when the Council COM
mittee some time ago met the railroad
officials his company was ready to give
everything demanded, but that during
the interview it was ascertained that

a few squares. Mr.. II. had also said
his depot was as good as that OF the II.

Card of Thanke.

MT. and Mrs Iasley wish to returC their sincere thanks to the many kim! gentlemen who intereeted themselves so much at the time of the sudden and alarming illness of tleir little daughter. To the noble ladies @ho helped to nurse her back to life. vixen all hope had fled we can only say that gratitude Is a quantity that cannot be measured, but our measure of gratitude to them is heaping up and overaowiHg. iFeeling fully the forlornness 9f this case, and that our child laid 4at the lowest eX- treaae of life. we es,n only attribute her recovery to the careful patient and un- r~Rlitting attention given by her piysi- elan, aided by sleepIess and untirirrj narsing. The mere paymen5 of doc
 tclds. bill does not always cancel the real debtSthsy owe him. Poor in every thing but children, each one of ours Is vet beyond priee--no money,,no honor. no great estates could buy one of theRl from us. JAS. PAISLEY.

Cason. ill which he Rendered UIs resignation as pastor of that churc ihe resignation recites that thr nuY reason for taking the stev is that ae cannot live upon the
 salary that ue church is able to pay;
 that his grafton ~GhHdi take effect October and that his relations have been cord a and pleasant.
 Ed.

For thls reason he IS perhaps at tnnes "trod, drn on the toes" of other sdenomna- ti0nS, and 51ty have engenCered lack ,ot interest in his discussions, among persons whJ dislike to hesT criticism <f their religious beliefs, but he has 'eyer been earnest and hoaest.
 Ed. ClSonls work in Forrest City does not have a glitteriiG surface. and he has had unusually poor success in 'increasing tEe membership of the ehutch. but his sermons have been of s. character wt,ich will live in the mirds of those who dave heard him. He has made impressions whic1. his hearers Nl!j carry with them so long as they 'tIay he permitted to act their parts tpon thS great stage. His discourses :aye been learned, his arguments elo- @Nuent, and there is about his sermons the remarks of deep researc hl.
 In hIs pastopal work. d.e has never had asuperIor in Forrest City. He has visited the sick and buried the dtad and cOndOled and prayed with 'Dereavtd and griefstrIcken relatives. 't.e lis charitable almost to fault tNes willing and ready to Ieprlve lfin- NeH and share his last dollar with the poer and needy and distressed.

Fizer vs Bonner.

There is an old saying that "when thieves fall out. just men get their dues.' While TIE TIMES does not mean to inSlnuate the existence of dis honesty. yet there is a something about the fact that N B. Fizer has sued r. Bonner for professional services. for a sum exceeding S200 which somehow suggests that these two brothers in the political swim of thIS county do not care to do business in the ordinary way, but the one is forced tO ask the pro lection of the lawior his interests. and the otter presents a counter claim in court, which for originality and rarity. is too rich to keep. It seems that Fizer had an account against Bonner for ab. stracting. etc, etc. covering period of two or three years. When he pre- sented the same for payment we pre- sume that Bonner was astonished. He had been SD close d friend to FiZer and had followed him through thick and thin in his political vicssitudes. that he probably thought IEer ought to be ashamed of himself for charging him for alittle service like making an ab straet. So Bonner says: mo Sir. l won't pay it." and FiZer sues him. The case was up before Squire Boyle, where a Judgment wasrendered by de- fault. in favor of Fner Bonner ap- peaied te the circuit court, and the case came up Tuesday before a jury of'their peers. The account of Fizer Is not de- med, but Bonner brings in counter claim which isa daisy.
 Readers of IKE TIMEs will remem- Der that in 1886 the then Rev. N. B.. Eizer get Up a reputation for letter writing. He literally flooded this con gresslonal district with the never to-be forgotten "Yourslin Christn political epistles urging his friends to flock to Govan. and beat Dunn. 1t now turns out that Eizer was the author and that Ed Bonner, jr, was the publisher of those letters. Fizer says that old man Bonner suggested,that Ed had nothing else to do, and woulG copy them. so Fizer let him doit. Now MT Bonner asks judgment for $25 for the services of his son in copying those letters.
 Another item of $40 is for looking over some footings. one night at FiZer's home FiZer says Ee had to carry the work home, and while very bus;ly en- gagged, Bonner come to t,hs dsohne to gas awhile, and not wishing to HuiO Noth, HUI tV DV sVfSCpui bVouo uc aSteE Bonner to ITE' over the fOotings which he did, apparently, with pleas ure. But he now thinks the service worth $40.
 Some time ago soon after,the death of Mrs. FiZer. MT FiZer asked permis- sion of Bonner to store and a barrel of fruit jars and a rocking chair in the business house on s. Brent street, which nwas graHted. Mhe goods stored were worth less than -Ss5. MT. Bonner'now thinks he should be entitled to offset his account with Fner lto the tune of $5i forsstorage, and so 'on'dd t,bitnn, ad infn,taaa9a.
