The chancellor held the matter un-

ciently to run a car over the line and
thus preserve its charter, which will
expire tomorrow.
Leave was granted to the counsel of

tions was reserved, and will probably
not be rendered until next week. VIII

THE GATLIEG GUN SQUAD DRILL

AFTER THE DRILL THE VISITORS
WE'RE ENTERTAINED BY GEN
ERAL HART AT THE ROOMS OF
THE YOUNG MEMS DEMOCRATIC
CLUB.
The State Armory. at Twelfth and
Orange streets. last night was a scene
OF life and military activity. The First
Battalion gave % drill in the presence
OF some very distinguished visitors.
There were about 1lO men on the Hoor
during the first part OF the drill, and.
considering the small amount OF space
In which they had to work, their ma
neuvers we're performed remarkably
well. After the preliminary drill with
the whole battalion In line, Companies
+ and X we're marched of the floor
and ordered to break ranks, then Com
panies "A and G went through the tao
tics in a fine manner.
The next was the drill OF the gattllng
gun squad, which performed its artil-
| lery maneuvers very creditably. The
visitors were invited to examine the
gun, and many ayailed themselves OF
The opportunity 1t Is a beautiful piece,
and will shoot 1900 projectiles a min
ute at almost any angle.
The soldier boys made an excellent
| showing and were highly compliment
ed upon their perfect drilling and mar
/ tial bearing.
The battalion takes great pride in
/ the condition OF It's armOry, and has
| spent considerable of its own funds to
make Il as comfortable and con-
| venient, as Il Is at the present time.
The officers of the N. G.. d. intend to
ask the Legislature for an appropria-
tlon for the purpose OF putting new
roof on the building, as the present one
is In miserable condition and, II left
as It is, viii render useless the inn
proyements already made at such great
expense II Is sincerely hoped by them
that their request will not be refused

DEPARTMENTAL RED TsPE
STREET AND SEWER DEPART
MENT MADE THE CITY COLIIEC-
TORS VERY ANGRY YESTERDAY.

TORS VERY ANGRY YESTERDAY.
Departmental red tape cost the city
something for pavement cleaning yes
terday, and the officials of the city tax
office are indignant over the treatment
they received at the hands of the Street
and Sewer Department. For a day or
two the pavements in front of the city
tax office and city treasurer's office had
been a mass Of 4ce. Yesterday the sun
came out warm, and the ice soon soft
ened so that 1t could be easily re-
moved. An employe of the Street and
Sewer Department was clearing off the
pavement on the Sixth street side of
the department building. Collector
Sayers called up Secretary Wiley and
asked him if the man could not also
c.ean the pavement in front of the tax
Office, as he had no one to do it, The
secretary said il would be irregular, but
he would ask Street Commissioner Nc
ClOskey. That functionary went to
the phone and declined to permit his
man to so beyond the line Meanwhile
the wielder Of the shovel had gone on
with the work and had about half the
tax office pavement cleaned Fore
man Eastburn called him away before
he could finish the work, although II
was then but 11.30 O'clock City Treas
urer Curry had employed a man to
clean off his pavement and Commits
| siOner McCloskey asked If he could moi
also clean off the tax Office pavement
The city treasurer replied that he hac
agreed TO pay the man so much none,
for doing so much work. Finally, how.
ever he went down in his pocket ant
gave the man an extra sum for com
