FROM OUR SPECIAL CONTRIBUTOR.
The sewer injunction suit hat
: placed our learned city attorney In
peculiar position.
If the city attorney admits what
Braden ct al. allege in their petition
for injunction, the writ will issue
Having reported that "Hindry has
complied with neither the letter
nor the spirit OF his contract with
the city" how can he do other
wise?
If he denies these allegations,
and claims in court that Hindry is
building the sewers as per con-
tract, would the city not be in a
devil Of a fix, should controversy
arise between it and Hindry.
Take either horn of the delimms,
the poor city, as usual, is betwixt
the devil and the deep, blue, sea
Either admit, and let the injunc-
ton writ issue thus stopping work
or deny and in effect say that Hin
dry has lived up, strictly, to the
contract. What will he do?
He must do one or the other. The |
city must now "shoot, Luke, or give |
up the gum"
This sewer business has now
reached a crisis and should be
settled one way or the other. Either
cancel the present contract and re-
let it under proper safeguards, or
continue to do business with man
in Denver who treats the city with
Indifferent contempt.
What is the city going to do
about it? What would a good bust
ness man similarly situated do?
He would either require HindryI
to give local bond, be present in
person and supervise his part of the
work under the city engineers in
structions, or promptly cancel the
contract.
The only proper thing that the
city ought now to do is to prompt
~ cancel Hindry's contract, and re.
advertise for bids, requiring all
bidders to furnish a good local
bond within ten days after award J
Of the contract, or forfeit $4,000
cash, to be deposited with each
bid.
The people are taking a deep in
.erest in this matter, and the SUBJ
ect will continue to be discussed
by them until it is settled in a
business like way.
The people will not submit to
my private agreements being
made between the authorities and
sewer contractors.
Every citizen is partner in the
lily corporation, and every tax
payer pays his money to keep it
going. They are entitled to be
posted, and the subject will be agi-

REVIEWS AND ADDRESSES THE ARMY AND

 BERLIN, Jan. Mild weather and bright sunshine attracted large crowds of people to witness the parade of the Berlin garrison today. At noon the troops Of the garrison marched through Unter Den Lin- den, the color company and band hailing in front of the arsenal, where the entire staff of officers, including Prince Rudolph of Bavaria, Prince George of Saxony aud Prince Leopold Of Prussia, were assem- bleG to receive the watchword of the day.
 The emperor walked from ihe castle to the arsenal, and after reviewing the troops by companies returned to the castle in the same way, the crowds cheering him as be passed. The emperor addressed the of- ficers, saying: tive stand in the face of serious times, but as in 1870, when the princes of the German nations stood to- gether in triumph over the foreign enemy, so today they stand together in the pres- ence of their royal commander, giving shining proofs of the union of Germany's princes and her people. Germany will also triumph over a more serious internal foe which is confronting the empire. The army is the fundamental basis of the em- nj

COMPLETELY ExoNERATED.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Jan. 1.-Argu- investigation proceedings against Clark & Brown. Judge Lurton finished his opinion at 1920 o'clock, and completely exonerated q them. He held that there was no ground for the complaint and intimated strongly that the onus of professionalism rests on J. H. Barr of Barr & McAdoo, bondholders' attorneys, for drawing up the Bartol peti- tion, fully knowing the facts of the record The fee charged for services was held to be just and the firm had dropped the opposi- Iion claim of James before he was engaged by the trustees. The right to contest their fees rested with the receiver, but was not attacked. This humiliation would have been avoided if Clark & Brown had only fairly and distinctly stated their relation 10 James, three claims in their corresponds ence with the trustees' New York lawyers, who employed them.

FORGED FROM HIM BY TORTURE ON A RED
 HOT STOVE.
 DECATUR, Ill.,, Jau. 1.-Ole of the most atrocous robberies ever recorded in this county took place week ago Sunday even- ing, the facts of which never came to light until yesterday. Just east of the city lives an old man named William Florey, who owns eighty acres of fine land. He has always lived by himself, and it was gener- ally known in the neighborhood that he had money.
 On the night of December 20 three masked men gained admission 10 his house on some 5protext and overpowered the old man. They demanded his money, but he denied having any. Then they built fire in the cook stove and held Florey's hand on top of it until he told them where to find $500. Then to make him tell them where to find more they forced him to sit on the stove. Then they tortured the old man from Il until O clock, and when they left they carried of $500, of which S1020 was in gold.
 Old FIorey was afraid to tell Of the affair for fear It would attract other robbers to his place.

MEXICO SHAKEN UP By @ Severe Earthquake, Which Lasted a Short Time. PAND' Sl0N1UM REIGNED
 t
 S In a s9eater Where Many Peo- pIfS lad cathered-The City |S Panic Stricken.

LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. LA special to the Globe Democrat from the City of Mexico says at 10:53 o'clock Sunday night an oscillatory earthquake shock was felt in thot city and other parts of the valley of Mexico. The movement was east and north, but of short duration. The dis turbance caused great alarm from those who feared a repetition of the disastrous earthquake of November 2, which killed eighteen people aud did great property damage.
 At Arben theater, which is the only play house now open in this city, as result Of damage sustained by other theatres by previous shocks, stampede occurred. Women leaped from the lower boxes and the audience struggled for escape at the narrow exits. The manager appeared on the stage and tried to calm the fear of the crazed people, and at last degree of quiet was restored, but not until most of the audience had taken refuge in the streets, which were full of frightened people, many of them ia their night clothes, who had rushed out at the first alarm. The scene of NoveIn Der was repeated in a large part and thousands of penitents knelt in lte open streets and prayed and cried in loud voices for deiverance from death.
 In Helem prison, where thousands of wretched beings are huddled together in the barracks, pandemonium reigned, and the guards had hard work to prevent hun dreds from breaking out of their quarters and tiiDging themselves over the walls.
 The large supply pipes leading to the city bursted, flooding the streets and caus- ing considerable dam age to property. Not until daylight yesterday could a majority of the people be persuaded to enter their homes. A repetition of the shock is ex pected in n few days

WOMEN TAKE A HAND.

HAvERHILL, Mass. Jan. 1.-The strik- ing shoe workers held another big street parade this forenoon with music and banr ner accompaniments. They marched in a procession from the headquarters on Wash ington street to Spaulding & Sweets fsc- tory and called out fifty women stitchers. It is understood that the workmen in every factory in town have voted to come out en masss if necessary to support the strike. Two firms have called on tho board of con- ciliation to prevent strike in their fac- tories and will probably be successful. The strikers have received a donation of money and more is promised. There were 400 people in the parade, and at it's close the women stitchers, 250 in number, had a mass meeting in Cumer's hall. About 125 women came out or Chick Brothers fac
 tory ard joined the parade. There was . parade of women stftchers this afternoon.

Wahatchie, the favorite, was backed down from to to 5 to 2. imp. Wolsey was brought from 12 to 6 to 1 by plunger. Nero was in the possession of few as good athing, but the betting was light and closed at to 1. Uncle Luke WAS considered by some to have chance and they backed their judg. ment to limited extent.
 The start was very good, Marcel, Mollie B. and Imp. Wolsey taking the lead. At the quarter Clara Bauer and Uncle Luke came to the front and Imp. Wolsey dropped back to seventh. The race continued about the same into the stretch, when Nero, with Caesin up, made fine finish and won easily.

Gleesoms in the second was the solitary winning favorite.
 The five-eighths of a mile handicap was the source of much conjecture, and the knowing ones had sure thing in Rapid Transit. David, at to |, however, won handily. Galena, second choice in the fifth event, made fine racs with Francis Pope and Twenty .Thres into the stretch, when she drew away and won easily by two lengths. The weather was quite cold and the track was very heavy.

THE SULTAN'S ORDER. Whoever Spares Man, Woman or
 Child Dies" BU fCHERRD LIKE HOGS
Were tho ArmenianS by Turk ish Human BIoodhounds-A
 Horrible Report.

BOSTON, Mass., Jan. 1.-Loiters have been received by well known parties in this city from reliable sources in Turkey giv- ing still further testimony regarding the outrages in eastern Turkey. The following letters come from city not great dis tance from the scene of the outrAges. The writer is a man in whom the highest conf dence may be placed, who has spent more than a third of century in that region and knows the country and people per- fectly. This is from source which is en- tirey independent of any which has been given before. Later accounts increase, il possible, the horrors that have taken place. The letter just received is as follows:
 '.The Armenians, oppressed by Kurds and Turks, said they could not pay tax .s to both the Kurds and government. Pun dered and oppressed by the kurds, they re- sisted them and there were some killed Then false reports were sent to Constauti- nopie that the Armenians were in arms iu rebellion, and orders were sent to the mushire at Ezerein again to exterininate them, root aud branch. The order was read before the army, Whoever spares man, woman or child dies.
 ''1 he region was surrounded by soldiers of the army, and 20, 900 kurds also are said to have been massed there. Then they ad vanced upon the center, driving in the peo- pie like flock of sheep, and continued thus to advance Tor days. No quarters were given; no mercy shown. Men, women and children were shot down aud butchered like sheep.
 "rhe most probable estimates are 15 ,O0O killed, thirty five '.tlages plundered and burned. WomeL ire outraged aad then butchered. prie. was taken 10 the rooi of his church, hacked to pieces and set on fire. A large number of women and girls were collected in church. kept for days, assaulted by the brutal soldiers and then murdered. It is said the murders were so large that blood flowed out of the church door. The soldiers contended over beau. tiful girl. They wanted to preserve her, but she too was killed. Every efsort Is be- ing made to falsiiy the facts and pull the wool over the eyes of the European gov ernments, but the bloody tale will finally be known-the most horrible, it seems to me, that the nineteenth century has known. As a confirmation of the report, the other day several hundred soldiers were returning from the seat of war and at a vii lage near us one was heard to say that he alone, with his own hands, had killed thirty pregnant women. Some seemed to be ashamed of their deeds, but as a rule they were not. -
