ration With Dog 0lfi;>r.

There was a sort of "mark down

morning. Jerry MoiFitt was the only
prisoner. His was not such a serious
charge. for the only persons in count TO
see that he did not escape were Dog OFF,
Ger Hathaway and three "police" re-
porters.
Mr. Moffitt was charged with keeping a
little black and tan dog. The defendant
had either forgotten or neglected to con-
tribute S1.15 to city last May for the
privilege OF having the dog in the house.
Small as "Gyp" was, Dog Officer Hath
away saw him, and then he looked up the
records ard found that MIR. Mofiitt was
was shy, so Moffitt was arrested. he
wasn't angry this morning, bot gave MIR.
Hathaway much praise for doing his duty
in so consc iencious a manner. This, of
course, was somewhat of surprise to the
reporters, and at once caused them to
think there was sometiug in the wind,
aud they were right, for there was.
Mr.. Mofiitt was shy 81 90 of the amount
OF the fine, which was sl2. 80. This
placed Mr.. Hathaway in quandary, for
he did not want to take Mr.. Moffitt
away from the dog nor his family for
petty sum of sl.6O, nor did he care 10 con-
tribute si.6O to Mr.. Moffitt's fins. After
Judge Sweetland left his chair and got
ont o the floor he, with Messrs. Mof.itt,
Hathaway and The reporters, held a
council OF arbitration, and it was de-
cided that Mr.. Hathaway receive the s11
and trust Mr.. Moffitt for the s1.60 Mr..
Hathaway made mp the deficiency and of
course Mr.. Mofiitt will paw Mr.. Hath
away.

John L. Sullivan Arrested
on Three Suits.
CLAIMS AMOUNT TO $4,000
Actions For Debt, Assault and Tro-
yer and Conversion.
THE NEW MANAGER ALSO SUED.

There was Consideration in the ranks
of the John L.. sullivan All Star COmbi-
nation at the Olympic Theatre yesterday
afternoon. 1t resulted from the fact that
Manager Frank V. Dunn of the Palace
Theatre, Boston, felt aggrieved at the
actions of John L. Sullivan and William
j. Sherwood in New York city few
weeks ago, and had caused writs Of ar
rest TO be issued against Sullivan through
Attorney II. A. McKenney of this city.
aggregating $500. There was an addi-
tlonal one against Sherwood for $500
Mr.. Dunn was manager of Sullivan for
few weeks this fall. but things did not
suit him, so ne went 90 New York where
the combination was playing and had am
interview with John Lawrence. prospcc-
tive candidate for mayor of Boston.
IL is limited that John was paying
too mucn attention to politics. AT any
rate there were some moments that were
decidedly warm. During the controversy
1t is alleged that Mr. Sullivan picked mp
his valet and threw him at MIR. Dunn.
and afterward gave the valet ipstruo-
lions. which were carried out, to thrash
Mr.. Dunn
The first OF the three suits against Sui
livan is to recover $500 in an action of
debt, the secC n is for S5O0O and is for
the alleged assault while the third il
one Of trover and conversion 10 recover
$1,000 The conversion, 1t is alleged. con-
sisted OF tho taking of some scenery and
other theatrical properties.
The suit against Sherwood. who is now
acting as Sullivan's manager but who
was deputy manager for Dunn. when the
New York trouble arose, is to recover
some funds that are llegcd TO have tcen
in his hands at the time Mr. Dunn
visited New York. In shorter terms, Mr..
Dunn accuses Sullivan and Sherwood OF
having taken the show and its belong
ings ana skipped away with them
Deputy Sheriff William l.. winslow
served the writs aud ho first met MIR
Sherwood ana the latter very quietly led
him into tho presence of Mr.. Sullivan.
The latter asked the amount and the
sum mentioned in the first writ was
named. Sullivan went for Steve Me
Maugh, and when tho latter arrived
Deputy Sheriff Winslow expressed satis.
faction, and said there was another, and
John said Well. how many more are
there, anyway lust one more against
you, was MIR. Winslow's reply.
1t seemed as If the purpose of the
gahering was over whom Mr. MoMaugh
agreed To serve as surety In tho ether
cnses, but IL was not, for tho deputy
berif just then produced the writ
against Sherwood. The latter was DIT
crestfallen, but Mr.. McMaugh was get.
ting bit bored, and said another one
wouldn't make much difference, and the
sheriff accepted him for the fourth time
and then went back to Attorney McKon-
neys office

ANOTHER STORY.

1t contemplates the addition of another
story to the building, beginning from the
place the roof now rests on. 1t may be
of granite or iron or anything else that
may be thought best. The roof over this
with the addition OF the tower would
make a handsome and imposing structure
bandsoner ami more imposing tban the
one now pointed TO with prize by every
citizen. 1t would give an entire square
floor space to the purposes of the city
business ana the now roof could be de-
signed so that every inch could be
utilized, and therefore be an advantage
over the presetn top part of the building.
IL would be practically two mora stories
than src now in the city hall and afford
ample room TO go hand in hand with the
inspiring growing tendencies of the
seoond most important city in New

NO WASTE ROOM THERE.
All the space of the building is occu-

waste room. Indeed. sumo OF them are
Gro rded at the present time. and il there

probabilities on the demand of the past,
