PARK APPRAISERS PAY
CITY ATTORNEY WILL PASS ON THE
BILLS THEY PRESENTED.
Building Inspector in a Quandary as
to Anti-SmOlxe Ordinance-New
Fire Houses.

Joseph F. Flack, Charles e. Coffin and
Daniel Burton, who were appointed park
assessors by the Circuit Court in Septem-
Der, 1896, under the park act recently de-
clared unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court, have an additional claim for serv-
ices rendered the city. They have filed
sworn statements with the park bureau
asking for sl25 each for services rendered
the Park Board from Dec. II. 1885, to Nov.
q 1897 The bills were filed the day before
the decision of the Supreme Court was
handed down Most of the work was done
after Jan. l. 1897. On Dec. IL, of last year,
they were allowed a total of $50 for their
services from the date Of their appointment,
$40 each.
The bills will be presented to the Board
of Public Works to-day by Park Secretary
Spencer Without doubt the board will send
the bills to City Attorney Kern for an opin-
ion as 10 whether they will have to be paid.
In addition to the bills of Messrs. Flack,
Coffin and Burton, Mr.. Spencer will also
send number of minor accounts and pay
rolls, covering services during the time the
suit in the Supreme Court was pending 1t
is quite likely that the board will forward
the entire batch to Mr.. Kern for his opinion
as to the city's liability. If he holds that
they must be paid the board will probably
ask the Council for an appropriation I'M
less it is held that they can be paid out OF
the maintenance fund for the different
parks. 1t is hardly thought that this can be
done, however, so far as the bills Of the as
SCISSORS are concerned, at least, as they
would have to have been paid out Of the
labor fund had the Park Board continued
the work of acquiring new parks.

VANDALlA CASE TO-DAY
JUDGE CARTER WILL HAND DOWN
DECISION IN SCHOOL FUND CLAIM.
Man Charged with Bicycle Stealing
Released George Price Sem
fenced for Robbery.

There will be another decision in the suit
of the state against the Vandalia Railway
Company, in the Superior Court this morn
ing. The opinion of the court to-day will
likely put the case at issue. The state
brought suit against the company to en-
force the payment of money alleged to be
due the school fund. BY former decision
of the Superior Court the company was
ruled to answer to the states complaint,
and several weeks ago a series of answers
were filed. The state at once filed de-
murrers to the company's answers,
and the three Superior judges sitting
together, heard argument on the de-
murrers. One of the answers was held good
by the court at the time This set up the
claim of former adjudication of the case.
The attorneys for the state, by demurrer, in
sisted that the questions involved in the
present suit were not the same as those
presented in the former adjudication.
Twelve answers in all were filed by the
railway company. Since the argument on
the demurrer to these answers, the three
Superior judges have held a number of sit
tings. The opinion has been written by
Judge Garter before whom the suit was
originally brought The decision of the
court to-day will either have the effect of
sending the litigation to the Supreme Court
az once, or the case will come to trial on
its merits All the attorneys in the htiga-
ton have been notified to be in court

EITHER HORSES OR CASH
TROPHIES BROUGHT BACK BY A DE-
TECTIvE's EXCURSION PARTY.
Experiences In Ohio Of the Men who
Went After Animals Stolen
by KOerner.

Detective Splann's excursion party to
Franklin, O., has returned to this city.
Some of the excursionists came back with
Mr.. Splann. while others drove through with
their horses and bnggies. The experiences
of the victims of John George Koerner
were varied. Two members of the party,
Horace Kramer and John D. Hogan. did
not find their horses Koerner told them
before they went that he had not stolen
their rigs, but they were not content to
take his word. He described the
property Of the other men, how
ever, so accurately that they
were not in doubt about theirs. Those
who were successful, or partially so. were
Robert H. Fesler, E. r. Odle. G. A. Boeck-
ling, James Haskell, James Petty, John A.
Warner, Ed Lieb, James Pellet, w. Null
lenkopf, James Hodsjen and G. HI. Gilman.
]. B. Allfrees horse and buggy were found,
but not recovered. 1t will be recovered by
suit at law.
Edward Iieb left his horse with the man
who had it. He will probably receive the
cash for it, as the man is greatly attached
to it. Mr.. Mullenkopfs horse had been
shipped to Cincinnati, and he went there
after it. Robert II. Fesler did not know
the description Of his horse and the farm
or having it refused to give it up But Mr..
Fesler remembered having a picture of the
animal, and this was conclusive enough to
the farmer. Mr. Gilman made q curious
deal, and came home with SIS instead Of his
pony and cart. The farmer told him that
the pony had died, and offered him s. for
the cart. This Mr.. Gilman was about to
take, when the farmer offered TO make It
SIS if Mr.. Gilman would give him bill 6k
sale for both pony and cart This was done,
and the friends of Mr.. Gilman think the
farmer will dig up the dead pony. The
farmer who had Mr.. Haskell's horse said
1t had run away and smashed the buggy
ell to pieces.

THE SMOKE NUISANCE.
Inspector Bunting Really Doesn't |
Know What to Do.


Know What to Do.
Building Inspector Bunting is in some
thing of a quandary as to what course to
pursue with reference to enforcing the anti
smoke ordinance. Mr.. Bunting said yester-
day afternoon that about every one to
whom he has sent notices to abate the null
sance within ten days have Informed him
that they are unable to comply With the
order. as smoke consumers cannot be pro-
cured that will do what is claimed for them.
MY opinion is that most Of these devices
are catchpennies At the Stevenson build
ing, am informed, they spent $500 for
consumer that does not consume, besides
which 1t requires the use of % per cent
more coal. l am really at a loss what to do
1 cannot very well tell the men to quit
burning coal; that would be equivalent to
driving them out OF town.. 80
"HaVe you consulted the city Attorney
YES; he seemed to think could enforce
the ordinance. l suppose about the only
thing for me to do is to take case to the
Police Court and allow the owners OF these
smoke stacks to convince the court that
there is no way in which they can comply
with the ordinance.
In addition to the When building, the Ste
Venson building and others already mem
toned, Mr. Bunting has sent a notice to w.
E. English, owner of English''s Hotel and
opera house on Monument place. huge
brick smoke stack recently constructed
sends out a cloud toward the monument
s"These smoke stacks do not pour out
smoke all the time, said Mr.. Bunting. 1T
is only when they are stocked and nred that
smoke is emitted. After it gets to burning
ceases. When fresh coal is thrown on the
smoke begins again."

CLEANING UP THE CITY HALL
"UncIe Alb" Announces that the Loaf

''Uncle Alb" Newland. the new custodian
Of the City Hall, has been working some
thing of a revolution since he took charge
of the courthouse basement. In the first
place, he set about having the chandeliers
in the various offices cleaned and renovated.
Gas burners that had been in use for a
quarter of century. and that hardly made
more light than so many candles. have been
replaced with good burners. force of
men has been busy using scrub brushes
washing down the walls of the corridor.
They have also begun cleaning the tile
floor In many places long iron chisels had
to be used to scrape up the accumulation
Of dirt. Where the scrub brushes have
been applied the color of the handsome TIL
ing can be distinguished. Under Uncle
Abs industrious management the County
Commissioners have put plumbers to work
renovating old sinks, Closets radiators, etc,
until it looks like the basement will be
in the City Hall assert that many of the
radiators have been out of order and use
less for years, and have only served to ra-
date cold air instead of heat. The custodian
Commissioners ready to cooperate with
him in every way possible and that they
were following his suggestions.
One of the most noticeable reforms is
the Punishment of the lOafers. There are
still some who hang around, but they know
and in time, with the assistance of the po-
lice, the custodian hopes to get rid of them
entirely. he says that there is no reason
why the basement should not be as tidy and
offices on the floors above and he intends
to make 1t so IL possible.

SUBURBAN FIRE HOUSES.
Ready for Occupancy Jan. 1-PensiOn
Fund Ball.

Fire Chief Barrett says that the new fire
houses in Brightwood and Haughville are
being rapidly constructed, and he thinks
that they will be ready for occupancy by
Jan. l, 1898. The house in Brightwood is To-
Gated near the water works, and 1t is be-
lieN ed that it will afford considerable fire
protection to the northeast section of the
city.
Just now the firemen of the city are TAX
ing much interest in the approaching annual
ball for the benefit OF the pension fund 1t
is to be held in Tomlinson Hall, Nov. a.
Already the com nittee has received sub
ScriptlonS and pledges amounting to about
81, 900. Many tickets are being taken, and Ii
is believed that the ball will be the most
successful in the history of the pension fund
movement The pension fund is now drawn
to Chief Barrett who says that nine Id
ows fifteen orphans, two dependent moth
ers of tiremen, ten firemen who have been
disabled in the discharge of their duties,
and one who has voluntarily retired after
serving thirty-two years, are being cared
for out of the fund. Many of the men who
were retired from service on account of dis
abilities find it iTksome to remain idle and
as fast as they are able to 90 so, insist on
returning to the force. Very soon five of the
ten will return to work, leaving but six to
draw maintenance from the pension fund.
Yesterday afternoon the fire department
made tests of new nozzle, which, IL Is
claimed, is an infringement of John Gla-
zier's invention. The nozzle tested yesterday
made of aluminium Under pressure
of ITO pounds II went to pieces.
