THE CITY'S DEBTS.
An Important Decision Now Rests
With Judge Murphy.

Judge ID. j. Murphy heard arguments
yesterday IN the sui. of ID. ). Weaver
against the city and finally ordered the
matter to be submitted on briefs.
This is a test case. 1t arises from the
5000. 900 deficit left by the last Board OF
Supervisors. at the beginning OF the last
fiscal year the Supervisors refused to make
a levy for the payment of several claims
against the city, but eventually number
OF creditors having claims aggregating
$50. 799 were permitted to obtain judgments
for the amounts due them. Alter this the
City and County Attorney was ordered by
the Finance Committee not TO enter ludg-
ment in any more cases.
There was still $4,000 outstanding, but
the creditors could get their money no
other way than by civil suits. aud that of
ID. 5. Weaver 10 recover S4720 for plumb
ing work was among the first filed. Should
Judge Murphy decide that the money
must be paid it will be necessary TO issue
a writ of mandate directing the Board of
Supervisors to make a special levy in June
next for the satisfaction of all claims. 1t
is calculated that this will necessitate the
imposition of an extra 10 cents upon every
500 of the assessed valuation of property.

Deadwood Didn't Enthuse.

The reception given the governor and
his party upon their late visit to Dead

words it may be said to have been ut

upon similar occasion. The Deadwood
Times has the following; Gov. c. III.
Sheldon. Adjutant General Silsby and
F. 5. Mcdonald. tax agent of the Mil.

George Ayres and Tom Taught were
public spirited and hospitable enough to

ecutive and escort him to q hotel, and
by and by Gov. Sheldon and his COM
panions were escorted down to the
Deadwood club, where they spent the
forenoon. Nothing had been provided
for their entertainment or pleasure, and
the distinguished visitors must haye felt
that they were not welcome. Rapid,

taken a little pains to extend the courte-
sizes Of their towns to the governor, at

exceedingly enthusiastic crowd. all Of

ting forth strong effort, under reason
able and proper conditions. to secure
the desired end. The executive COM
mittee, appointed at a former meeting.
submitted their report, which was &C.
cepted. placed on file, and the commit
tee discharged. The action taken in
the matter Of accepting the report and
placing it on file, was rendered neces-
sary by reason of certain changes sug-
gested which it was deemed proper To
make, and committees were appointed
with power to make such changes in
accordance with the instructions Of the
meeting. These changes have now
been made and ubmitted to the rep
resentative Of the company proposing to
put in the plant, to whom they were
emineEtly satisfactory, and We are a..
sured by him that the factory is now q

Andrew Carnegie, who did not testify
at the preliminary examination, was
next examined. He is ranch hand. and
was working on Bryte's ranch at the time
OF the wreck and was an eye witness to
it. He was eating his lunch when he
heard two reports from the direction of
the trestle, and saw some smoke over
tEat way and some men OH the trestle.
Witness saw man on the track shoot
a gun off straight in the air, and shortly
after that the train came along. Witness

were on the track.
