A NEW GAME.

Williams Scheme to Make Money
without Working For It.
Charles Williams is in Jail,
awaiting further orders.
Williams, it seems, has been
working a new scheme. He al
ways carried a number of pawn
tickets with him. He would meet
some one and tell him a pitiful
tale. He hadn't a mouthful to eat
the past two days, so the
story went, and needed
money mighty badly. This
being the case he agreed to sell
the pawn ticket for a bargain.
There would be only a dollar Or so
due on the ticket, and this paid, it
would redeem a fine gold watch or
ring, or anything the ticket called
for.
The sucker" thinking he had
struck a bargain, would hastily take
up the offer and consider himself a
winner. He would continue think
ing so until he went to get out
the watch, or ring, or what
ever it may be. Instead
Of getting a fine gold watch, as the
ticket called for, he received an old
Waterbury, and the gold ring, al.
though it glittered, was not gold.
Williams is a stranger here, and
has been working that game for
several weeks.

cred themselves with glory in the
grand concert given last night at
the new Beethoven hall, as the
formal Inauguration of the beauti-
full home of the M9nnerchor.
An audience of such size,that any
theatre manager would be proud
to welcome, greeted the rise OF the
curtain and the overture, which
consisted of a superb rendition of
Rossini's grand descriptive compo-
sition, "Semiramis." Round after
round OF applause was given this,
and their temperance was only
satisfactorily explained when Rob-
ert Summerlin, Esq, the orator of
the evening, presaged his address
with the announcement that no
encores would be responded to,
owing to the length Of the program.
He delivered an eloquent address
Of twenty minutes duration, and
was then followed by the Beet.

music was of such a high character
as to hold the audience spell-bound
and to place this organization as
the foremost in merit in the state.

There Was no Warrant in Law for
His Arrest.
The case Of G. p. Koch. the
Alamo street merchant, who was
SO unwarrantably roughly handled
and also shot at, by colored Police
man Ellis, was before the recorder
this morning on the charge of
exhibiting skins unlawfully" and
after the assistant city attorney
had informed the recorder that the
city ordinances did not cover the
case in hand, and asked that it be
dismissed, Mr.. Koch was dis
charged. This v~indicates Mr.. Koch,
but throws the odium of the out
rage upon the policeman, whose
conduct in first making an affidavit
against a peaceabie merchant
on a trumped up charge,
then refusing him bond on a baila-
BILE case, then roughly handling
him and finally trying to shoot
him, is being very severely COM
mented upon by u citizens. The
whole police force is coming
in for great condemnation also,
because of this foolish break
Of one officer and the city admins
tration is being condemned for fur
Their continuing the services of
such an officer.
This is the consensus of opinion |
and it will probably become more
pronounced in a petition to the
city council for the removal of the
officer. And the reporter that
writes this has "written no lie" as
officer Ellis asserts. He has not
old one-half that will be told

Illegally Appropriated.

Alderman Lalntrom evidently intends to
make good thing out of his official position
and believes in commencing early in the
year. AS result of his first effort he has
taken $4,000 illegally from the city treasury.
We now expect him to introduce resolu-
ton providing for an investigation of the
sewer and health boards, the fire depart
ment, etc., expecting Of course that he will
be given the work and permitted to take the
money of the taxpayers unlawfully for
doing the same.
The city charter fixes the salary of an
aldermen at $4,000 year and provides that
alderman shall not hold ''any Office of which
the emOluments are paid from the city
treasury" No one can dispute the fact that
large share of the work of the council is
committee work and that their yearly salary
covers the same. Any money taken fol
such work is practically downright robbery
of the taxpayers and the concensus of Legal
opinion seem to be that any man who does
it is liable to and should be prosecuted FOL
embezzelment Of public funds. With the
prevailing public sentiment it will not BIT
surprising If some taxpayer takes action tC

Aid. Lamfrom should be compelled tC
refund the $4,000.
