THE CITY'S GAS BILLS.
Judge Catlin Will Determine the
Question This Morning.


Arguments were heard Yesterday in
Judge Catlin's Court in the matter of the
mandamus proceedings against City Au-
ditor Young TO compel him to draw war
rants for the amounts due the Capital Gas
Company from the city.
The Auditor, acting on the advice of
City Attorney Brown, has declined to
draw warrants for the sums due the COM
pany, on the ground that as Mavor Stein
man is stock holder in the gas comnanv
the city could not pay money to the latter.
under the provisions of the charter.
The gas company was represented in
court by General A. l.. Hart. He CON
tended that in the absence of auy exist-
ing contract between the city and the qas
company, the former was not prohibited
from dealing with the latter. alIhonoh
Mayor Steinman is stock holder therain
He is also a stockholder in the Central
Pacific Railroad Company, but he did
not imagine anyone would insist that for
that reason the city could not do business
with the railroad company. That pro-
vision of the charter which the Auditor
claimed governed his action. does not
Mr.. Hart argued, apply to the point at
issue.
City Attorney Brown held that tho
charter was directly applicable. and that
under the provision quoted the Auditor
had no authority to draw warrant in
favor of the company.
The case was further argued by Clinton
l.. White, on behalf of the CITY Anditor
and Mr.. Hart, and submitted. .Iudue
Catlin announced that he would give his
decision this morning.

How a Brave Ohio Lad Met His Death

Andrew Jackson, Sergeant-at-Arms Of
the Ohio House of Representatives re-
lates an incident of presentiment of death
which came under his own observation.
He says: "When the war broke out I

telling him everything. He at once
granted the request and wrote out the de-
Sired order. gave it to Frank that night
and thought he was safe.
sThe next morning, however. he re-
fused to obey, and insisted that if he
failed to go into battle with the rest of us
the boys would question his bravery.

A Surgical Feat.

The advance Of surgery can furnish
few moro singular illustrations than
is supplied by an operation in one of
tho London hospitals, whereby tho
breast Of blackbird was fastened to
q woman's face as substitute for her
nose which had been SO damaged that
it had to be removed. The woman,
who had been a house-maid in Il hotel,
had been struck in the face by de-
scending lift, which caused the injury
that led to the operation. First OF
all, the doctors endeavorcd to patch
up the damaged organ, and she was
attended to in this way as an out
patient, but cure was not effected,
and the nose in its patched condition
was Of no use. The doctors resolved
to try an experiment of giving her a
new one, and accordingly black bird
was killed, and before its body was
cold its breast bone WAS applied to the
woman's face and what remained Of
the skin of the old organ was drawn
over it. The operation proved per.
fectly success full. London Tit-Bits.

Just when the mutilation o. tho

Is recorded that ut the termination Of

bloody history is 50 full, the victori-
Gus soldiers tore the skin from tho
heads OF their vanluishel foes. This
would be evidence that the custom OF

gences even of those people of whom
wo have record in the Bible.
Be that rs it may, it is au cstab-

thing time alone can develop. Be
