CITY HALL FURNITURE
The Commissioners Want a
Clear Understanding Before
Work is Started.

Clerk Fred Farrell of the City Hall
Commission today served upon the St.
Louis Art Metal Company copy of the
resolution awarding it the contract for
furnishing the monstrosity. A similar
document was forwarded to the Anerl-
can Surety Company which company is
surety for the lucky Bidder. 1t will be
several days before the Commissioners
will know whether the company will ac-
cept the terms of the contract It has
been unofficialiy reported that it will
not, but as yet the cotnpany's represen-
tative has shown no signs of weakening
He says he will be guided entirely by
the action of the head men of the COM
pany, who are in St. Louis.
The representative of the company and
the expert engaged by the Commissioners
do not agree on many important points
in the specifications. Not having in
terpreted the specifications as the ex-
pert does, the ST. Louis Company's agent
says he did not include in his bid of
$4,000 many articles which the expert
says were distinctly provided for. The
agent has madesthis contention ever since
the Commissioners gave public hearings
and stated to all the competitors just
what would be required The alleged
extras are all embodied m the contract
and if the company refuses to sign it.
it is possible that awards viii be made
to the next lowest bidders, who are John
Mullins of this city and the Office Spe-
cialty Company of New York
Commissioner Hough is opposed to re-
advertising for bids, fearing that the
dealers may form combination and
put up prices.
The Commissioners do not propose al
lowing any work to be done until the
company or individual receiving the con-
tract agrees to carry 1t out in COM
pliance with the specifications and plans
of the expert.
Mr.. Mullins has already agreed to fur
nish articles which the st. Louis COM
pany has refused to do. He has also
made concessions to the Commissioners
concerning costly articles, which he, like
ether bidders held were not called for,
The hearings given by the Commission
ers, at which it was explained what would
be required, are responsible for the pres
eTat difficulty, but the Commissioners
contend that it will be beneficial in the
end. as no company or individual win be
allowed to begin work without first
knowing exactly what will be required
of him. The Commissioners say they
want to avoid any such trouble over the
furniture as they have had with the
building, owing to various interpretations
of plans and specifications.

The conference lasted SO long that
Uncle DAM Packer, the Quaker Senator

be left to the convention and tha. none

AS the JERSEY delegation swept through
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, it left a
bright trail of Hobart bi1ttons. and en-
deavered in every way to explain to the
unenligatened crowds at ths stations
who Hobart really IS. ard where New Jer-

Mr.. Hobart himself WAS delighted to see

alone with his boom ever since the

this afternoon in Chancery Chambers

these loans gave to Mr. Chesebrough a
deed as seeur ty. On the expiration Of

ings, Mr.. Chesebrough, it is claimed,
commenced ejectment proceedings ana
put in man named VIM. Cranston III
charge of the hotel. He it is said, coll
lected $4,000 and turned it over to Mr.
sChesebrough.
The petitioners ask that Chesebrough
be restrained from pursuing the suit

an accounting. They also contend that
the deed was mortgage and Mr. Chese-
brough stands in the re.ation of a mort
gage and not as a landlord
