An Orphan.

There has been considerable
complaint during the last week
about the condition of the road
leading from the Louisville pike
around to the west end of the rail
road bridge. ard every one has
asked why it has not been i'm
proved? The road seems to be an
orphan. Only that portion of it
which is between the Louisville
pike and the road which comes
down the hill from Mrs. Williams
is within the city limits. as it is
claimed the boundary line of the
city crosses the road at that point
and runs along the top of the
river bank to the mouth of Benson,
consequently the city is not re-
sponsible for all of it. The coun-
ty does not claim it because it
claims that the city line runs along
the west! side of the road, or in
the center Of it, all the way to the
mouth Of Benson. If it is outside
the city the council has no right
to improve a county road, and if
within the; city the county has
nothing to do with it. BY an

court and the city council some

A LAWYERS BILL.
ReViVes an Old Political
Scandal.
One Man, Who Lost His Job and Got
1t Again, Did Not Pay His
Counsel.

j. r. Riley Esq. revived an old Federal
political scandal by appearing as plaintiff
in Justice Barry's court yesterday against
John j. McGovern. night inspector in
Collector Wise's Office.
McGOvern was one of five inspectors
whose heads were summartly dropped in
the basket ust about this time of the year
1892
They were all Democrats, and the Col
lector of the Port, Mr. Phelps, was then a
Republican.
The plaintiff tells the story over again in
his complaint that McGuvern. together
with a number IL not all the clerks and
inspectors In The Federal building, re-
ceived a note from Wendell EastOn, chair
man of the finance committee Of the
Republican State Central Committee,
asking them for contributions to the cam
ptign funds.
They paid no attention to it and shortly
after received another which they treated
in the same way.
Shortly thereafter they received word
that their successors had been appointed
and their services-those of William john
son, Peter Kelly, William Harrigan and
Thomas Wheaton, with the defendant,
John f. McGovern-were wanted nt
longer.
They raised row about it. Mr.. Phelps,
John S. Hager, Paris Kilburn aud
D"puty Surveyor Gaskill all said there
had been no charges preferred against t
them and there We're none to be made.
Isador Simon, Republican who was
billed to be let out at the same time, heard
not word about IL.
They had all been examined and had
taken their places under the civil service
law. and IL was an infracti0n of that law
to dismiss them without preferriDg charge.
They employed j. T. Riley as their at
torney and he went to work on Collector
Wise, who was shortly thereafter ap-
pointed, and also enlisted the interest of
Congressman Maguirp, who did good
work at the Washington end and very
soon all the men were reappointed. The
salaries are $1,000 a year.
Mr.. Riley filed a bill with McGovern of
$3.50 for his services. which ein Draced the
drawing up Of a statement of The case and
four interviews with Mr.. Wise.
His bill to some of the others for exactly
the same service was very much less. All
his clients paid long ago. except NJ Govern,
and he has fatty refused, because of the
alleged discrimination and the belief that
the bill Is too big.
Rlloy's explanation of this Is that of in-
innate relationship and the knowledge
that the others are less able to paw.
Crittenden Thornton represented Riley
and NJ. II. Herman the defendant. and
under the skillful hands of these attorneys
the old story was all gone over before the
Justice Of the Peace Yesterday and still an
other day will be required to get through
with the evidence.
