w. A. pEELE,s oyERDRAFT.
The Late Statisticfan Drew 81 JOY al
the Augmentation for This Yenr.

Attorney-general Ketcham is wrestling
with the question submitted to him by
State Statistician Thompson as to whether
the overdraft of $l107 made by his pre-
decessor the late William A. Peeile, must
come out of his appropriation for this
year. The amount appropriated by the
Legislature for the two years ending Oct.
81, 1895. was $1,000 but during the year
ending Oct. 81, 1894, Peelle spent $1,107 more
than the law appropriated. On the first
of October Peelle drew warrants for $SS
more than the amount of his appropria-
ton and when Auditor of State Henderson
discovered Ii he required Peelle to pay 1t
back. That accounts for the item Of $33
in the Auditors report credited as coming
from the State Statistcan's office. On the
day after the expiration of the fiscal year
Peelle drew the l,l01 for expenses to make
up the deficit and for the nineteen days of
the new year that he served he drew about
$500 a warrant specifying that IL was FOR
salaries of chief of the bureau and as
sistants, etc." thus leaving no clew to the
items where the money went. This Mr..
Thompson says he had a legal right, 10 do
and the warrants are not questioned. The
eral is whether when the chief of The
bureau might draw the entire sum appro-
priated the first day of his fiscal year,
it is unlawful for the chief to draw VI, l07
to pay deficit in the expenses OF the
preceding year. III the matter should be
held by the courts to be lawful, Auditor OF
State Henderson would have to make good
the sum overdrawn, since the money was
authorized to be paid out by him.

NEW VIADUCT SCHEME
WORKS BOARD PROPOSES TO HAVE
ONE At MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE.
Railroad Managers Asked to Meet
the Board-compIaints OF East
WashinEton-street Sewer.

General Manager Van Wrinkle of the Big
Four system. Bradbury. Of the l.. T.. IL
W. road, and McDoel. of the Monon, have
been asked by the Board of Works to send
representatives to the board meeting to be
held next Thursday for the purpose of con-
sliting In regard to plans for a via
Duct over the railroad tracks at
Massachusetts avenue. 1t is the intention
of the board TO have viaduct built at
this crossing during the present summer.
Detailed plans have not yet been consid-
cred. The city engineer has made a casual
examination of the crossing and thinks the
most feasible plan would be to lower the
tracks four to six feet, which would reduce
the cost of the viaduct about one-half and
allow for two approaches on the east side,
one from Clifford and one from Pendleton
avenue, without seriously damaging the
abutting property. Except this one thing,
specific plans have not yet been considered,
and, as the railroad companies must bear
the expense, it is more than probable that
they VIII be instructed to build yladuct
which must conform to certain general
specifications. and be within certain linn
itatlons as to space. leaving the details to

Billy Bibby, of Chicago, was defeated in a

Walker, of Cincinnati. Bibby came here
from Chicago and none of the local SPORT

His appearance on the stage caused great
deal of speculation, for it was evident that
he is an old wrestler and the report spread
that he is some Eastern champion sailing
under false colors. Another report was that
he lis a wrestling partner of Schumacher
who lays claim to the welter championship
of America. Albeit, Mr.. Bibby was thrown
by Walker, and both men sustained injuries
from the match, which was rough one
Walker lost the first bout in seventeen min

A DEFECTIVE TRUNK SEWER.
Complaints About the Big East WASH
fngtOn-Sfreet Drain.


fngtOn-Street Drain.
The Board of Works has decided that
contractors must conform to their con-
tracts. and will take steps soon to compel
the performance on sewer cases. This ac-
ton may result in a great deal of litga-
ton. In a number of cases contractors have
left their work in bad condition, and have
refused. or, at least. have failed to per-
feet it on demand of the board. These men
VIII be given one more chance. and If the
work is not done then the board Will order
1t done at the city's expense and will collect
from the contractors bondsmen. One case
which will be attended to Immediately Is
the East Washington-street sewer. 1t was
built by Nj. J. Griffin, of Detroit, and has
never been in a satisfactory condition. The
trenches were not properly filled and in a
short time had sunken so much that the
street, i'm places, was almost impossible.
Last fan the old board attempted to make
the contractor fill the trenches, but was
finally compelled to have the work done
by the street commissioner. Yesterday the
board received a complaint from a property
owner on the street, who said the house
connection in front of his property was
clogged up so he could not connect it to
his house. Other complaints have been re-
necons has the ends OF house
The board will take the matter up, and If
there is no way to accomplish the purpose,
Will enter suit against Grifin's bondsmen.
Ihe Acme Paving Company is still giving
the board great deal of trouble. There is
scarcely day passes that some complaint
is not filed in regard to the condition of
streets torn up by this company. Notices TO
repair the streets seem to have no effect
and the board is getting tired of sending
half dozen notices to repair one street.
and in the future, IL the work Is not done
on receipt of the first notice. other means
Will be adopted to compel compliance.

Against the FIFTY Feet width.

A petition signed by forty-two residents
OF Capitol avenue, between Indiana ave-
nue. and First street. was filed with the
clerk Of the Board of Works yesterday,
protesting against making the roadway of
the proposed boulevard fifty feet wide.
Numerous reasons are given why it should
not exceed forty feet. The cost is a very
important reason. 1t is compared with
prominent driveways in other cities, and
II IS shown that In larger places forty feet
of roadway is sufficient for the most used
drives Twelve or the petitioners appeared
before the board and asked that their
names be stricken from the petition. They
explained that they were anxious to have
the street improved and had signed the
petition believing II would expedite the
1T and wanted their names stricken off.
