Borough Of Manhattan.

W.
Under the provisions of tho Greater New
York charter the borough of Manhattan will
correspond identically with the city Of New
York as 1t was bounded prior to Jan. /,
1874. and among the other changes in politi.
cal lines and divisions is the separation
Of Manhattan into four Council districts.
each electing three members of the Munich
pal Council. Under tho Greater New York
charter the Aldermanic districts will remain
as they now are. each Assembly district
electing in November an Alderman for IA term
Of two years; each Alderman IL to receive for
his services 81 900 instead Of 81. 900, which is
the rate of compensation for an Alderman now.
There arc to BIO twcnty-eight Municipal Coun-
cilmen elected by distriCts, and each of them ia
to receive for his services III. 800 a yoar. the
same salary as now paid to q member Of Assem-
bly,. These Councilmen. to the number oftwelve
in the borough Of Manhattan. will not be chosen
in twelve districts. but In fOur-three candi-

The first OF the Council districts may be said
to take In the downtown wards. Starting at
Houit cChl bIbSl anu INC Edbt RlVGr, the
northern boundary line proceeds through Four.
teenth street to Third avenue. down Third
avenue and the Bowery. through Fourth street
TO Broadway, and at the intersection OF Broad
way and Spring street to the North River at
Canal street.. This district includes the whole
OF the east side south of Fourteenth street and
so much OF the west side as 10 south OF Canal and
Spring streets. 1t Is a strong Democratic
district, with a normal Democratic majority OF
not less than $4,000. and on a straight fight be-
tween the two parties on ordinary lines the Re-
publicans would not have reason TO expect much
success for their candidates in this district. THE
Second Municipal Council district included
practically the whole of the town on the west
side north OF Canal and south Of Sixtleth street,
the western boundary OF 1t being tho North
River and the eastern boundary Broadway,
Third and Lexington avenues. This district Is
very likely TO be a close ono between the
two parties, as In an ordinary fight on ira.

COUNTY WARRANTS CASE.
Argued Before the Supreme Court on
Appeal and Submitted.

The case. involving the validity OF
certain county warrants, in which John
A. Fritsch is plaintiff and the board
of county commissioners defendant,
was argued yesterday in the supreme
court on appeal by the defendant from
Judge Cherry's decision holding that
the warrants were valid.
In the absence of Justice Miner,
Judge Hiles sat on the bench with
Chief Justice Zane and Justice Bartch-
The arguments were made for the de-
PENDANT and appellant by Messrs. Wal
demar Van Colt, Graham F. Putnam
and Ray Van Colt, and for the re-
spondent by Messrs. J. H. Hurd. Rob-
ert Hardness, c. o. Whittemore and F.
3. Stephens.
Briefs were submitted by counsel on
both sides and after the arguments
their honors took the case under adj
visement, and ii is expected will hand
down their decision at an early date.
The plaintiff filed in the district court
his affidavit for a writ of mandate TO
compel the defendants to recognize the
legality of certain warrants issued by
the county and he also prayed that the
defendant be required to provide for
the payment of said warrants. An an
swer was filed to the affidavit setting
up that the warrants in question were
invalid for the reason that they had
been issued in excess of the amount of
Indebtedness the county is authorized
to incur by the statutes. Plaintiff filed
a demurrer to the answer, which de-
murrer was sustained by Judge Cherry
and h defendant refusing to amend,
the court entered judgment for the
plaintiff, from which ruling this ap-
peal was taken.
The contentious of both sides were
fully published in The Herald last
week when the case was argued in the
court.

Is Life worth Livingp

If there is an individual on earth who
is excusable for thus interrogating
himself, it is the unhappy mortal who
suffers from malaria in some one Of
its diabolical forms. This is no difficult
conundrum, however. Life is worth
living by any man or woman who en-
joys good health. and is not harrassed
by a reproachful conscience. The
malarial scourge, heavily laid on, is
a terrible one for the poor sufferer to
endure. A series of freezings, scorch-
ingS and sweatS-the last leaving one
as limp and as strengthless as a dish
rag, are ard indeed, recurring as they
do with fiendish regularity. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is the Worldwide
known preventative and curative of
this class of maladies. either in the
form of ague and fever, bilious remit
tent. dumb ague and ague cake. Used
with persistence they will. rely upon
it, eradicate disease from the system.
They also conquer rheumatism. kidney
and bladder complaints,
dyspepsia, liver complaint and consti-
patton, and renew failing strength.

Carter VS.. Salt Lake Building &
Loan Association.

Sd4 Vs. 0a4l AlAC -
Loan Association.
Judge Hiles also d. livered his de-
cis.on in the case of Rebecca B. Carter
against the Salt Lake Building and
Loan association.
The nit was brought to redeem Ger
tain premises and the plaintiff alleged
she was induced by the representa-
lions of the defendant company to pur-
chase the premises for q consideration
to be paid to the owner and a certain
amount to be paid by the plaintiff to
the defendant, and to pay off n dis
charge a trust deed which was held
upon the premises as security for the
of certain moneys and capital
stock. She alleges that, believing such
representations to be true, she pur-
chased the land and made a tender to.
the defendant of the amount which it
represented as being due and unpaid
upon an Indebtedness evidenced by the
mortgage or trust deed, such amount
being $7S0.03.
Judge Hiles, in his decision, held that
the evidence showed hat the repre-
sensations were made to Mrs. Carter
substantially as she alleges, and that
she believed them to be r and acted
upon them and made the purchase of
the premises as alleged in the complaint,

amount on May rs, 1893. His honor did
rot think. however. that the evidence
showed with sufficient clearneSS that
she kept the tender good by any de-
post or sequestration of the fund from
her W use since that time, and that
inasmuch as she has been in possess
sion of the premises, that h defendant
is entitled 10 have interest upon the
S7S0.03 from May %, 1893. The defend
ant is also entitled TO the sum of
$17.S5. paid as taxes upon the property
for the year 1893, and also S71.S0 insur-
ance paid on the buildings on the Gray
and Richie premises. Against these
items. the decision says Mrs. Carter is
entitled to have a set-of of S55 paid

months rents which were paid defend
ant bv the lessee in possession at the
time OF Mrs. Carriers purchase. and
also for $3.50 of installments paid by
her TO the company as the same ap-
pears upon the receipt books of the
defendant in her account with it.

amount or balance due the defendant
