COUNCIL MEETS TONIGHT.
The City viii Equip IL New Case
line Plant.

line PiRnt.
Indications point to a prosy meet
ing of the council tonight. The com
mittees have not digested anything of
Importance in the past two weeks, and
their recommendations will be mostly
in the line of routine business.
The committee on ordinances will
meet this afternoon, but it is probable
that action on AID. Nordeen's ordi-
nance will be postponed, as from pres
ent indicat ions the Theden bill, repeal
ing the Rand ordinance, will pass the
legislature, and the aldermen deem it
wise to defer action until the Solons
have had their say.
The only contract to be let is that for
a gasoline plant. The gas committee
met again yesterday afternoon, and
after a long discussion the action of
Monday, rejecting the bids, was recon-
sidered and the comittee will recon-
mend that the contract be awarded to
the Northwestern Globe Gaslight COM
pany, which now owns the plant.
The committee voted to accept the
second proposition of the company,
which is to maintain the plant till Jan.
l next, and at that time to deliver it
intact and in good condition to the
city at a total cost of $25, 500. This
means $1,000 for the plant and 900
for maintenance.
The bid is the same as first presented
and means a clear saving of $500 TO
the city over last year, with a prospect
| of further saving in after years, when
the plant will be in the hands of the
| city to operate on the contract system
! After the investigation of Gas In
spector Needs, showing the poor con-
| ditto of the plant at present, and that
the lamps average only siX-candle pow
| err, as against sixteen called for in the
| contract, the company came down and
| offered to furnish the Heilbrunn i'm
proved burner. The bid of the company
is accepted only on condition that this
| burner is supplied and the lamps kept
| burning at sixteen-candle power; other
wise deductions will be made. The
| plant must also be turned over to the
city in proper condition.
Chairman Drew, of the committee,
had prepared the report, and, having
| studied the question very thoroughly,
the rest of the committee came around
to his view of the case, adopting his re-
port unanimously. Aid. Colburn said
that his reason for moving the rejec-
ton of the bids were that he thought
| both companies were ready to reduce
| their former bid, but he was convinced
on the representation of the chairman
! that the Globe company had made a
| reasonable bid.

INTEREST MUST BE PAID.
In the Matter of Awards the City
WOFSted.

Judge Smith, in a decision in the case
of James w. Raymond against the
city, which was filed yesterday, ruled
that parties who had been awarded
damages by reason of change of grade
were entitled to interest on the awards
from the time the award was filed I'M
til the money was paid. Raymond rep
resented the former interests of Fra
ger & Shepherd, who were awarded
$4,000 for the damage done to their
property on Fifth street and Fifth ave-
nue. north by the change of grade of
the street made necessary by bridging
the Great Northern tracks. AS some
time elapsed before the money was
fused. Action was then brought for
Judgment in the sum of 81, 093.
The city resisted the payment of in
terest, however, on the ground that
the charter did not provide for the pay
ment of interest in such cases, and
that the city had no money with
which to pay the same, but simply
acted as the trustee to collect the
money as it was collected by special
assessments on the property supposed
to be benefited by the Improvement.
1t was argued the award was not due
until the taxes levied to pay for them
had been collected. A number of de-
cisions supporting this position were
quoted.
Judge Smith thinks otherwise, how
ever, and holds that the parties dam
aged are entitled TO full relief.

position of John H. Keller and George
Van Mitre, of the Illinois hospital for
the insane at Jacksonville, relating to
the ancestors of Adry Hayward.
Mr.. Nye objected as before and was
upheld.
Erwin - Then 1 suppose the only
thing for me to do is to ask Adry II

The Court-You have asked him that,
and 1 ruled it out.
Mr.. Erwin then gave up and excused

for the defense, was then called to
! the stand and examined by Mr.. Erwin.

By Mr.. Nye-By whom were you re-
tanned? A. BY w. w. Hayward,
through Mr.. Reed.
Mr.. Erwin objected to Mr.. Reeds
name being introduced, and the court
said he would not allow the witness to
answer.
At this stage several witnesses were
called and did not appear. Mr.. Erwin
said he had telegraphed to Miss We'd
der, at Cherokee, To-, to return. She
had left the state without their knoWl-
edge, and in reply to Two kilograms
Mr.. Sweetser had got letter saying
she could not come, as she was suf-
fering from nervousness and exhaus-
ton. Mr.. Sweetser replied that she
would be in contempt if she did not
come. That was today, and she had
not come. He asked that the court
adjourn until 0 o'clock this morning.
This would give him an opportunity to
get in his other testimony.
The court, evidently displeased by
the request, said the attorneys would
be accommodated, but it would be the
last time.

CHARGES AGAINST Two POLICEMEN.
The Police Committee Refer Them to
the Chief of Police.
Cases of Officers Rutherford and Tai
bot Will Come Before Him and
the Mayor First.

The Police Committee of the City Board
of Trustees held meeting last night to
investigate the charges against Officers
Rutherford and Talbot. Trustee Leonard
presided. and Mayor Steinman was pres
ent.
The charges of S. 0. Tamaki against
officer Rutherford were read, as hereto
fore published in the RECoRD-UNIoN. c.
I. Jones appeared for Rutherford and
said that he wished to make objections to
further proceedings of the committee in
the matter, on the ground that the char
ter prsscribes that charges against any
officer should be filed with the Chief OF
Police and submitted to the Mayor for
investigation, and it was evident that the
trainers of the charter intended to pro-
tect officers from trivial charges. and that
only after submission by the Mayor of
the charges to the Trustees did the matter
properly come before them. The section
providing for the trial of officers by the
Trustees should be considered in connec-
ton with the one prescribing the method
of bringing charges.
Leonard said the committee did not
propose to try the officers, but simply to
investigate the charges and see if it was
I
board in trying them.
MIR. Jones thought that, in view of the
+! fact that Officer Rutherford was indicted
and soon to undergo trial, it would be
unfair to him to prejudice his trial by
taking such action as it was proposed to
take III this case.
Bragg thought that Section 124 clearly
! indicated that the charges should be re-
| ferred first to the Chief of Police and the
| Mayor, and then if no notice were taken
| in regard 10 them, it would be time
enough for the Trustees to take them up.
Tozer was disposed to agree with Leon
ard that it would do no harm to investi-
| gate the charges and find out the facts.
/ The Chief of PSlice might be in coilusion
with the officer, for all the board knew.
| However. he was willing that the matter
should be referred according to the
charter.
Mayor Steinman thought the provision
of the charter was quite plain, and that
! the matter ought not TO come before the
board first. The present investigation
would simply make the trouble of two
| trials.
After some more debate the motion of
Bragg prevailed ana the Clerk was in-
structed 10 notify Tamaki to prefer his
charges to the Chief OF Police.
The same action was taken in the
charges preferred by James McCaw
I against Officer Talbot.

EDWIN BRYANT WALKER
Death in New York of Native Son O
Sacramento.

Death in New York of q Native Son of
sacramento.
The New York Tribune of the 9Th in
slant contains the following notice OF the
death of the eldest son of Mrs. Myron
Walker formerly Mrs. Charles Scudder):
Edwin Bryant Walker. only son of
Mrs. Mary Norton Walker, and eldest
grandson of the late Edwin Bryant
Crocker, Justice of the Supreme Court of
California, died yesterday at his mothers
home, No. $50 West Fifty-ninth street.
He was 26 years old, and was young
man OF much promise. He was gradu-
ate of the old Charlier Institute OF this
city, graduate of the Phillips Exeter
Academy, class of 'SS, and for two years
was member of Harvard University, in
the class of 1872.
He left Harvard to go into business.
He first filled places with the Edison
General Electric Company and Harper &
Bros, and then became partner in the
firm of A. Il. Chasmar d Co.. printers
and publishers in Union Square. Last
September a small tumor was removed
from his neck, and he had apparently re-
gained his health when in January be
was attacked with diffused Inelanotic sar-
coma, which caused his death.
ITO the classmates of Mr.. Walker at
Exeter and at Harvard, of whom there
are many in this city, the news of his
death will be heavy blow. He was
popular among them, and was especially
active in all their social and musical in
terests.o
