PINGREEES GINGERY.
Wants tho Treaty FOrbidding Building of
War Ships on Lakes AbrOgated.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 6-Mayor Pin
gree last night sent long communicA-
ton to the council favoring the abroga-
ton of that portion of the treaty between
Great Britain and the United States
which prevents building war ships on the
lakes.
The document is more gingery than
the average state paper, and in it he re-
hearsed the story of Perry's victory and
the history of more recent war-like cpl
sodes on the lakes. Proper reasons were
offered aud tho message was adopted as
the sense of the Detroit common council.

A BIRD THE HAND
Is Worth Two in the Penitentiary. So
Kingman People Think.

Governor Morrill, has decided not to
hang the two young men who murdered
Mayor Marsh of kingman, although he
has not yet replied to the petitioners
who asked him to sign the death war
rant.
The governor says there are forty six
men in the penitentiary under like SEN
tence, and he does not understand that
the law makes it his duty 10 single ont
two of them to be executed and al
low forty-four to remain alive, therefore
he will not sign the death warrants of
any of them.
1t is easy to appreciate the governors
feelings. The Kingman people think they
should nave hanged the malefactors
when they had them.

against Joseph Fisher, street commissioner,

the new building. 1t reached about a
third of the distance across the street, and
under the regulations of the city was not

of Works had several times ordered the
bills removed but no attention was paid to
the communications. The damages alleged
to have been incurred were duet the fact
that the street commissioner yesterday
morning placed force of men at work
to tear the fence down. The complaint al
leges that the defendants without cause or
reason conspifed to destroy, tear down and
split the fence, containing something near
five thousand feet Of lumber, which had
cost the plaintiffs $500; that the act was
ordered without right and In accordance
