Encountered First Trouble.

The first trouble out on the gravity
sewer was encountered on Saturday
and Monday. The contractors were not
following the specifications as closely
as the city engineer and chairman Of
the board of public works desired in the
laying of bricks and plastering the in
side of the main sewer 1t is said the
work was being sighted. The entire
matter was adjusted yesterday, how
ever, and the contractors agreed to
remedy any defect there might be in
the work and in the future abide
entirely by the specifications.
Good progress is being made on the
completion OF the northern end of the
system. The excavators having made
rapid strides the contractors were
enabled to put back the force of con-
crete men, laid off last week, and the
full number of men is being worked.
The cuts are being made under the
railroad tracks. This work will be
under the supervision of the roads
themselves, in order that any danger of
accidents may be averted.

Griffin will be ready to step down and
out once more to become a private
citizen.
When asked yesterday What changes
he had in contemplation the major
stated that he would first acquaint him
self fully with the Office into which he
is about to step and then it would
be time to consider any changes which
might be desirable. 1t would hardly do
to commence with an entirely new
crew, and then again there are some
splendid men in the department now.
OF course, it will be necessary for the
new superintendent to await the falling
of the councils retrenchment ak before
he takes any definite action.

The SiIcOtt iDefaIc ation.
The biggest theft under the redemption
system was made by clerk named Wins
lew in 1874. He took a package of new
| money containing $11,&.O, intended to be
sent to the National Bank of Illinois in
exchange for old currency. The secret
service people got close to Winslow's
trail that he left a package containing
$11 200 on the steps Of the house of the
chief Of the secret service. Winslow was
arrested later, and the government recov-
cred all but $55J.Sj of the stolen money
Strange to say, Wnslow got a year and
half in the penitentiary.
These thefts are about the only ones
which have occurred in connection with the
redemption of old currency. The record is
| a good one, considering the fact that from
S0O,OU TO 100000 worth of mutilated
money comes in for redemption every day
The most noted theft from the gov
eminent in recent years was that of Sill
colt, the cashier of the House of Repre-
sentatives. The reason assigned for the
| embezzlement a the time Slcott dsap-
peared was that the cashier had been lead
| ing a fast life. This was the explanation
publicly given. But there was another
| story in circulation at the time which had
| many believers. 1t was said that the first
| shortage in the cashiers Office grew out of
| advances made to an eX-member of the
| House, who was making a contest for a
| seat in the House The general belief was
| that he would be seated. According to the
| story accepted by some, money from the
| Cashiers funds was advanced to him dur
/ ing his contest, and when the House voted
not to seat him he was unable to return
what had been advanced. Silcott there
upon took what else he could lay his hands

TWINS IN POLITICS.

A Political Convention Makes n De-

iy succeeded in SO thoroughly mixing Her.
bert and Albert Waters Of Oakland that
they nominated Herbert for county clerk
In mistake for Albert. Every one in Oak
land was amused by the odd error-that is,
every one but Albert. The brothers are

Not long ago Albert, who is an ambitious
young politician, concluded that he would
enjoy running for cour ty clerk on the pro-
hibition ticket He placed himself in the
hands of his friends, and was assured that
the nomination would be his when the
county convention met.
Then Albert did very foolish thing. I'm
mincful of the fact that his twin brother
was at large in Oakland, he went 10 Fresno
on business leaving his friends to look
after his political fences. When convention
day came Albert was still In Fresno, and
Herbert, who was igI Grant of his brothers

vel, ton hall, where, to his surprise, he met
with very Enthusiastic reception. Albert =
friends were out en- hlasse, and they were
looking after his fences In loyal fashion,
but Herbert knew pothing of this, and
silently congratulated himself on being
more popular with Bis fellow townsmen
than he had dreamed. He was still more
agreeably surprised q few moments later
when the convention, Nominated him for
county clerk without a dissenting vote
GREATLY surprised his brothers friends by
earnestly declaring that the honor was a
great surprise to him.
The convention adjourned without dis
covering that Herbert was not Albert, and
two days passed before Herbert learned
that he had captured a nomination intend

popularity en- election day. One of the
greatest jokes connected with the affair
occurred when one Of Aiberts friends made
prof Sc apologies to Albert. as he supposed,
only to learn later that the apologies had
been made to Herbert.

That this mode of living is growing more

LONDON's MEAT SUPPLY.
Norway In Competing With Chicago
In the Mutton Trade.

From the London Telegraph.
London will shortly have the advantage
of another meat supply-this time from
Norway-which is perfecting arrangements
for supplying the English metropolis with
as much mutton alive and dead as 1t can
spare for expectation. Systematic expert
ments were made recently under the SUPER
vision of the Stavanger Agricultural Society,
and the results were SO satisfactory that
in the approaching cold season it Is to be
repeated on larger scale 1t appears that
eighty sheep, each weighing about one hun
dred pounds, were fattened for a week or
so until they turned the scale at from one
hundred and fifteen pounds to one hundred
and twenty-three pounds. They were then
shipped to London, where they realized an
average price, after deducting commission,
of 30s. sd, and as the total outlay had been
only rs. Cd. per head there was a net profit
Of 3s. Sd. on each animal Forty were also
sent over with the skins hoofs and interiors
intact, but on these there was an average
less of los. per head. partly explained by
the skins being damaged through bad pack
ing. Nevertheless, the Stavanger Society
have come to the conclusion that the bust
ness promises to be remunerative, and the
English people have thus an additional
guarantee of an adequate supply of mutton.
