There were committees to burn at the
city building last night, and every room
was a busy hive. An important meet
Ing was held by the refunding commit
tee, which met to consider the ordinance
drafted relative 10 refunding the city
debt. A snag had been discovered in
that part Of the suggestion relating to
the Main street bridge loan. second
series.
City Solicitor Nesbitt stated that the
city has no option OF redeemtng this
loan before the stipulated time, unless
the holders of the bonds are agreeable
This opinion was further strengthened
by the communication read from Mr., II.
M Russell, whose services in the mat
ter had been solicited, II was shown
clearly that this loan could not be con-
sidered, as at first thought when the
committee was in It's Infancy, Hence
Mr. Schmidt's motion was adopted,
The motion was TO the effect that
owing to the city's inability to refund
the Main street bridge loan, second Sc
ries, OF 500, 800, that part be stricken out
OF the neSy ordinance. This produced
another resolution 10 strike out OF tina
ordinance that part relating 10 the
water boards debt OF SlO6,OOO. introduced
by Mr., Ahl. The water board will have
the debt paid in four years, and It was
thought wiser by the committee to con-
cur in the resolution, and not have the
city assume the debt.
The ordinance was then referred TO
the solicitor and will be considered In
itssentlrety at the next meeting of the
coSmittee.

AN1pAHo rA1LoR S LUCK.
Received Mining Stock Worth 100000
for q suit Of Clothes.


Portland. Ore, Feb. 23.-A well
known business man, just back from a
trip to Idaho. vouches for the truth of
this story OF phanomenally good luck:
About two weeks ago a miner ofered
Morris Yenzel a Moscow Odaho) tall
or, a handful of mining stocks for a
suit of clothes. Yenzel refused that
sort Of currency In payment for his
labor and goods, on The ground that he
had no luck in stocks. He remarked
that five years ago a miner gave him
5000 shares Of stock then supposed to
be worth one cent a share for suit of
clothes, but he never realized anything
on the stock.
The miner said that if it had been
Leroi stock it would have made him
rich. The tailor was startled and re-
Piled he was quite certain that that
was the name of the stock. He could
not remember what he did with it, as
he never expected it to amount to any
thing.
A few days later Yenzel went to the
suspended Moscow National bank for
an insurance policy and some other
papers deposited there. among which
he found the missing 5000 shares of
Leroi stock, now quoted at SS share,
with accrued dividends. The Leroi
mine owners have been negotiating
with an English syndicate for the sale
of the property, but the latter declined
to accept the mine without the trans
fer of every share of stock so far is
sued. This LOT of 5000 shares was long
advertised for, but now there win be
no obstacle to the sale of the property
If the owners come to Yeuzers terms.
He demands $50 a share, or 500 600 for
the whole, and viii probably get it.

The anthracite coal trade, in anticipation
of the opening Of tidewater navigation and
the beginning of spring business has already
begun discussion of new prices for coal for
the approaching season. 1t has been the
custom of the trade for years past to open the
spring season with a schedule of prices for
the prepared sizes Of anthracite ranging from
80 cents to 81 per ton lower than the fall and
winter prices and to afterwards increase the
prices 25 cents per ton at a time until the full
winter prices were reached. This year it is
proposed by the managers of some of the
mining and carrying companies to not reduce
the circular quotations with the opening of
the spring season, because it is easier to mark
prices down than to afterwards work them
up amin.
