WILL OPEN FOR INSPECTION
The Temporary Home for the Chicago
Children by Sisters of S. Mary.

Children by Sisters of S. Mary.
The children from S. Mary's home,
Chicago. under the charge of the
Sisters of S. Mary in that city, are
now settled in their temporary summer
quarters on the grounds adjoining and
to the south of Kemper hall A rough
frame building has been erected to be
used as dormitory, while the old
house has had the needed repairs
made in order to render it habitable,
until the much hoped for and greatly
needed permanent summer home shall
some day have been built. The Sisters
have gladly consented to throw open
the present home for the inspection of
visitors on Tuesday, June 90, the day
of the annual picnic given by them to
the poor of Chicago. The generosity
with which this enterprise has always
been met by the citizens of Kenosha is
well known, and although the numbers
increase yearly, there has never failed
to be proportionate increase in the
gifts of food, flowers, etc, for that day.

Among the passengers who went through
Kansas City yesterday on the Santa Fe's

Mrs. Walter Castle, of San Francisco, the
couple of wealthy people whose experiences
in Europe caused such a scandal last sum-
mer and resulted in Mrs. Castle, who is a
most beautiful and accomplished woman,
being sentenced to 4 term in a London

was confined there several months prior to
her trial. and was refused bail, although
there was any amount of II forthcoming at
all times. Mrs. Castle pleaded guilty at
the hearing and threw herself on the mer-
cy OF the court, and as she was supported
by many prominent people and was very
wealthy, the mercy was forthcoming.
Yesterday, when the train stopped at the
Union depot, Mr.. and Mrs. Castle aliShted
from it and walked several times up and
down the platform. Mrs. Castle wore n

her great suffering.
Mr. and Mrs. Castle have been in this
country for a few weeks. AS soon as she
was pardoned out of the prison at London
she was taken to a Sanitarium near that
city where she was kept for several days
before she was able to stand the ocean
voyage. On their arrival at New YORK
they went at once to a resort near there
and have since that time remained there,
the lady being under the constant care
of physicians. They are on their way TO

Action Deferred Upon Applications OF

for Renewal of Saloon Licenses,

Police Commissioner Fyke. at q meeting

that the investigation by the legislative
committee of the alleged corruption in the
police department had borne fruit, at least
with him. When the matter of granting
q license to w. H. Christie to operate a

by the board, Commissioner Fyke said he
would like to have the hearing laid over

he would, too. Christie will be compelled

his license should not be revoked.

MUST Be TRIED OYER.
NEW PETITION IN THE THIRD
STREET SEWER CASE.
ORIGINAL SUIT WAS DISMISSED.
GREAT DEAL OF INTEREST MANI
TESTED IN THE OUTCOME.
Harris-Peters Congressional Contest
Resumed-Y. VI. c. A. Directors
Elect Ohicers-JOintist Bunk
Must Serve Out His
Sentence.
ORIGINAL SUIT WAS DISMISSED.

The litigation over the payment of the
taxes for the construction of the Third
street sewer was begun anew in the COM
mon pleas court yesterday. The suit is
to enioin the collection of $4,000 taxes
and as every taxpayer in the city is in
terested in the final outcome of the case
it is attracting a great deal OF attention.
The case was originally brought on jan
usry 20. 1885. 1t was tried last Monday
before Judge Holt and the attorneys for
the city argued that the case was prema-
tuIely instituted, as the supreme court of
Missouri has held that a suit TO enjoin
the collection of taxes cannot be brought
until the city clerk has certified up the
assessments TO the county clerk. In this
case the city clerk had not certified up
the assessments when the suit was filed.
After hearing the arguments Judge Holt
took the matter under advisement. How
ever, the attorneys for the plaintiffs be-
fore a decision was rendered dismissed the
case. Yesterday they filed new petition
and the case will have to be tried over
again. In the original petition it was al
legged that the proceedings to have the
work done were irregular and absolutely
void.
The law provides that If there are any
irregularities in the letting of public work
suit must be instituted within thirty days.
However, If the matter be absolutely void,
suit can be brought at any time. The VIC
tory gained by the city in the dismissal of
the first suit was that the statute of limi-
tation has expired for Irregularities, and
the plaintiffs will now have to prove that
the council proceedings in the letting of the
work were void.
The litigation is rather interesting on ac-
count of its origin. The property owners
along North Third street were willing that
The sewer should be constructed, but when
the work was completed IL was discovered
that the sewer had been laid above the
grade of a large amount of the taxable
property. hence sewerage connection could
not be made. The owners of this property
do not feel like paying for an improve
ment that did not in any way benefit them
or enhance the value of their property.
The object of the suit is to saddle the debt
which amounts TO about $4,000, on the city
at large.
