THE RECORDERS ESCAPE.
A Judge in Contempt in the Justices
 Court.

His honor, Recorder Jobs, came near becoming tangled in the meshes of the law himself yesterday. He was sub poenaed as a witness on case before Justice Johnstone, but judicial cares drove the matter from his mind. The case progressed favorably until Judge Jobs was called, but no one answered to the name. The justice called an- other witness and when his testimony was in Jobs was again called, with the result as before. The case dragged wearily along and when near it's close Jobs rushed into court with dishev- elled hair and frightened look in his eyes.
 Have you anything to say why I should uct fine you $10 for contempt of court?" queried Justice Johnstone in an apparent tone of severity. Jobs began telling many wild tales both plausible and improbable as to why he should not be punished for con tempt. Well, then" said the justice, "I will suspend judgment indefinitely for you may get me in the same box, and we will then be able to call quits :" Jobs saved his $10 and also the dig nity of police judge

A MILD POLICY.
Indicated by Arkansaw's Governor
 Toward Prize-Fighting.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Oct. S.-"You can say for me that I would not con- vene the legislature in special session to stop it, if they were to fight in the state house yard.'
 Governor Clark used this language in conversation with an Associated Press representative in reference to his probable action in the event that the Corbett- t-Fitzsimmons match came off in Arkansas.
 My position in that regard is well known" continued Governor Clark. You may say that I will do every thing in my power to prevent the fight, that I will go as far as the law, as it now stands, gives me authority to go, and no farther"
 The law of Arkansas makes prize fighting a simple misdemeanor.

A well known attorney of this city is in predicament and much afraid that he will be forced into the bonds of matrimony against his wishes. He takes his meals at a fashionable res taurant, but no sooner takes his seat before corpulent female who might be anywhere from 30 to 60 fops into the seat opposite him. It has been go- ing on now for two weeks and the le- gal light gives groan of despair as he observes his Nemesis sail down the room and take the accustomed place. He is too gallant to be rude to her and submits with the stoicism of Spartan.

BLANCHE LAMONI'S RING Did Durrant Offer 1t to Oppenheim? A New Witness Claims to Be
 the Man. Testimony for the Defense that Would Not Stand Cross
 examination.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. S.-After wandering through a maze of unim- portant witnesses, the defense in the Durrant case this afternoon sum- moned to the stand two of the most important witnesses that have been called since the prosecution closed its case.
 The most important witness for the day was Charles T. Lenahan. a young man whom the defense contends was mistaken for Durrant by Pawnbroker Oppenheim. Lenahan, who does not bear a striking resemblance to the prisoner, said that on April he at tempted to pawn a small diamond ring similar to the one worn by Blanche Lamont. at Oppenheim's shop. Witness said he asked Oppen- helm the same questions and received the same answers that Oppenheim quoted in relating the conversation he had with the young man whom Oppenheim testified was Durrant.
 Then came a surprise to the defense which enumerated nearly all of the strength gained from the witness's testimony. Lenahan said he tried to pawn the ring in the afternoon, while Oppenheim testified that Durrant en- tered his shop in the morning. At torney Deuprey was considerably dis concerted by the statement of his witness.
 w. A. Dukes, student at Cooper medical college, who was expected to give strong evidence for the prosecu- tion, disappointed them. Dukes said Durrant asked him if he could not remember that he attended Dr. Che ney's lecture on the afternoon of April 3 and to that end recalled a number of incidents said to have taken place at the time. Although Dukes seat in he lecture room was next to Dur rants, Dukes did not remember whether Durrant was there or not and told him so. Dukes said it was untrue, as had been reported, that Durrant asked him as favor to tes- tify that he did attend the lecture. On the contrary, Dukes said that Durrant told him he wished him to testify onl% to facts as he remembered them

MANY SEWERS TO MEND
The Street Department Reviews the
Situation.

The Office OF Street superintendent settled
down to business yesterday with every man of
the new staff at his place. But so far only
routine work has been considered seriously. al
though pretty thorough view of the situation
was taken yesterday regarding the financial
standing Of the Office and present requirements.
Chief Deputy Donovan explained what Su-
perintendent Ashworth has in view.
"We have examined the condition OF AFFAIRS
in the Street Department of the Board of Su-
pervIsors as well as the financial status of our
own department." said he, land we lind that
we h lave great deal to do with very lille
money in sight with which TO acco mplish the
work. So soon as the present storm Is over
we will begin with the essential work OF repa ir-
ing broken sewers. but at present the rain pre-
vents US from making any improvements.
There are great many breaks In sewers
from the heavy downfall of rain. In fact, they
are reported from all over town, and believe
il will take quite good sum of money TO puG
them in good order. Still this work must be
done at once.
'We have come to the conclusion regarding
the great bulk of street work that 1t may have
to be put off until July, owing to depleted
treasury"
The superintendent OF Streets Office was be-
seged by thrOngs Of politicians seeking posi-
tlons. They came In continuous stream, from
morning till night on Monday, and began TO as

Curry's deputies to draw pay until it was
decided whether he had been elected.
This question took an hour TO solve.
There were conferences, separations and
conferences, and finally 1t was agreed that
the matter should be left out of the agree
ment entirely. This means that Curry
deputies will draw their salaries. Then
there cams another hitch over the right of
Curry to appeal Haley seemed anxious
to have his attorneys find as many

"Mr. Haley. if the recount shows you

without bubble. l wouldn't stay here q

County Clerk Curry.
Haley smiled 10 sheepish way and
signed the document. His attorneys fol-
lowed with their signatures. c. f. Curry

signatures as attorneys for the respondent,

After 1t was signed Mr.. Haley requested
that some OF his deputies be allowed to

WISE IS UNDER FIRE.

Of Charges.
INSPECTOR ERWIN JUDGE.
Civil Service Law Violated by the
Collector.
TT is NOT HIS FIRST 0FFENSE.
But He Has Strong Backing at Washington
and May Not Be Removed by
Cleveland.
IT is NOT HIS FIRST OFFENSE,

The career of John 81. Wise, Collector of
Customs, has been strewn with charges
of willful violations of the civil service
law ever since he received his appoint
ment from the hands of President Cleve-
land. He was investigated" eight or
nine months ago by Special Agent Web
ster, who found the charges mot sus-
tained."
The second batch of charges was for
warded to Washington two or three
months ago, and after the accused had
been fiayed by virtuous contemporary he
received instructions from Washington
which practically amounted to an
order to investigate himself and
report at his leisure. That Sin
vestigation" was going on when the
last and gravest charge was made against
him. He was accused of appointing a
subordinate for political reasons after the
President had issued Instructions to Col
lectors of Customs and Revenues aud Post
masters to select their assistants from
those who had passed civil-service exami-
nations.
Postal Inspector Erwin, who is chair
man OF the local Board OF Civil Service
Examiners, is investigating the last charge
against Mr.. Wise. but is doing 1t behind
closed DOORS He will be assisted by a
special agent, who is to be sent from Wash
ington.
THE CALLS correspondent at Washing
ton questioned Civil Service Commissioner
Roosevelt about the Wise investigation last
night. apd telegraphed that Mr.. Roosevelt
would not say just when the special agsnt
would be sent to this city.
"There is no doubt in Roosevelt's m ind, -
the correspondent wired. that Collector
Wise has violated the civil service regula-
lions, but he has no idea that ANYTHING
will result from an investigation Of Wise's
administration"
1.-The truth is. and Mr.. Roosevelt uD.
derstands 1t well. that Senator Carlisle is
not in sympathy with civil service reform,
and Collector Wise is perfectly safe in his
position. He would be so even II Wise
was without the strong backing of in
| f1uential friends at court. Congressman
! Wise of Virginia, who is tie Collector:

of President Cleveland as well"
