COUNCIL nEETING.
Last Nights Business = City Attorney
Wieman Makes a Report.

Eleven members of the common
council were present at last nights
session, Aid. Meyer, Skinner and
Wertheimer being absent.
The following report, submitted by
the city attorney, was read and or
dered placed on file:
To the Common Council of the City of Water
town, Wisconsin:
In compliance with resolution passed by
your honorable body, at a regular meeting
the eof. held on the 1st day of March, 1898,
whereby | was requested to inform you to
the status OF certain matters IN litigation, IN
which the said city of WatertoWn is interested,
or has been interested during tie past Year,
submit the following:
The reasons for n o report having been made
concerning Irrigated matters to the council are
First. Because the charter provides that the
city attorney shall keep a docket wherein shall
be entered in an abbreviated manner the steps
taken in all cases in which the city is party.
This docket is open to inspection at all reason
able hours. Second. Because all matters acted
upon by this department have been acted up
on by the direction of the council, except in
the sui against the Karget Bros, which action
was commenced by the direction of the mayor.
| Third Because there is no provision in the
charter directing or requiring a report to be
made
In the case of Mccain & Mcclellan VS.. The
City of Watertown no decision has been rem
dered Judge Dick still having the same under
Amusement.
The appeal of the city of Watertown in the
matter of the allowance of attorney fees, etc,
in the Cole will matter was dismissed by the
circuit court February II, 1898. First. Be
cause from the actions taken by the common
council of the city of WATERFOWL, it appeared
that the city DIES red the appeal dismissed
| Second Because the city had ccepted the
money allowed by the county court to said
| city for attorney fees and costs, etc. Third.
| Because Mr.. Pease had taken the money from
the city. The action of the circuit court in dis
| missing the appeal terminates this matter.
! The appeal was dismissed without costs to
! either party.
The appeal ken by Mr.. Henry Mulberger,
| for himself and other taxpayers, from certain
! portions o. an order made by the county court
! as to the allowance of the final account of the
| executors of the estate of JOhn w. Cole, de-
| ceased, came up for hearing before the circuit
! court on the 18th day of February, 1898. At
the close of the arguments the court took the
matter under advisement and no decision has
! been rendered up to date.
The action brought by William Behling VS..
The City of WateTtoWn, Nicholas Thauer, A.
Z. Needham and Henry Bieher, for damages
resulting from injuries sustained on account of
a tresspass committed, was decided against the
city. Mr.. Behling securing a verdict of $40.
! The costs amounting 20 5 A 70 must, however,
be paid by the plaintiff in the action. The
! judgment has been set off against the costs.
! The $50 advanced by the city treasurer in this
! action were appropriated in the manner fol-

The mayor made some remarks in
relation to the report and explained
his position regarding the action
against Karger Bros. He said the
city attorney seemed inclined to place
the blame on him, but that while he
did advise the attachment proceedings
he held the city attorney responsible
for the failure to collect the transient
merchants license.
The committee on fire department
reported against the purchase of water
pressure guages for use in the fire en-
CINE houses, as proposed by Aid.
Kessler. The latter spoke at length
in support of his proposition and
thought the guages would be an ex-
3ellent safeguard in case of fire alarms.
In several instances where fires have
| occurred lately Aid. Kes5ler said COM
plant had been made to him by fire
men and others that there was not
sufficient water pressure to effectively
! fight the fires. He cOntended that the
guageS would show the pressure at all
times and thus afford protection. Sew
eral of the aldermen opposed Mr..
Kessler's views and thought the guages
not necessary. The committees re-
port was sustained.
A resolution authorizing the refund
ing of 1904 from the city general
fund to Louis Griep for taxes paid on
an illegal assessment of property in
the Second ward was referred to the
finance committee.
In relation to the matter of street
sprinkling, Aid. Kessler reported that
at the informal meeting held last
Wednesday night the feeling prevailed
that the city should take charge Of the
sprinkling and order it done only in
snch sections where the property own
ers petitioned for the same. After an
extended discussion the matter was
dropped and left for the next council
to grapple with.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1898-03-16

The city is as can be seen from the above
still owing 50. 30 on the judg ment IN this case.
l have endeayored to get Mr. Behling to pay
the costs, but his property is badly encountered
ard he insists that he cannot possibly pay the
same.
The action brought in behalf of the city
against the Karger Bros. was lost, and the costs
and damages adjudged against the city haye
been satisfied Nofurther action in the matter
WAS taken because no one had made com
paint against the Karger Bros. in behalf of the
city and because have not been instructed
by the council to take any action in the matter.
! will state that it is extremely doubtful wheth
obtained from the Karger Bros, because of the
peculiar state of facts connected with the case.
The case of Harlow Pease VS. The City of
Watertown, not having been noticed for trial
during the past year, nothing was done with
it. Respectfully submitted,
Edward +. Wieman.

MARSHAL MELTON.
Capt. Lawson ID. Melton Receives
the Appointment.
Register.

Register.
Mr.. l.. 4. Webster, Of Orange
burg, the recognized leader Of the
Republican party in South Caro-
lima, was in the city yesterday
morning anI stated that Capt.
Lawson ID. Melton would be an
pointed United States marshal for
the state, because he (Webster)
had recommended him. Snre
enough in the Washington dis
patches last night the appoint
ment was announced.
Capt. Melton was once the
leader of that faction of the Re
publican party known as the
Lilly Whites" as opposed to the
old faction or the BLACK and
Tans" headed by Mr.. Webster.
When the gift of the various fed
eral offices in the state was first
placed In the hands of Mr.. Web
ster, Mr.. Melton was not even
thought of as possibility for the
Office which he has just received.
The most popular were NJ. George
!. Cunningham, of Charleston, and
Col. r. NJ. Wallace, of Sumter.
Capt. Melton is personally very
popular. He has many friends,
who, realizing that the appoint
ment must be given to Repub-
Iicnn, will be glad of his good
luck. The office pays about $500
a year, and has at its disposal a
number of minor officer, which
have doubtless been promised ere
this.

WARsHIP BLOWN UP.
Destruction of the Maine In Cuban Waters
Fearful Explosion and Loss Of Life
Cause "a Mystery.


The large American battleship Maine
was blown into pieces and razed to the
waters edge in the harbor Of Havana,
Tuesday night, at about ten o'clock.
Two hundred and tfty.three seamen
met death in the terrible wreck On
account of the strained relations be.
tween Cuba, Spain and the United
States, il would be but natural to sup
pose that the deed was the work of
enemies, but Captain Sigsbee, who was
in command OF the vessel, thinks that
the explosion was of internal origin
A dispatch says: AT this moment
the naval officers cannot agree upon
any theory for the destruction Of the
Maine. Perhaps the majority are iu-
clined TO the belief that the explosion
was purely accidental; another consd-
cradle number feel that torpedo ex.
ploded under the vessel; third theory
is that some Internal machine was
smuggled aboard the ship and set of.
An examination by diver OF the hull
OF the Maine will demonstrate instantly
whether torpedo was used. In case
it was, the plates will surely be driven
in. On the other hand, protruding
plates will be evidence of an explosion
purely internal The Maine had three
magazines. The one forward was used
for the storage of ammunition weigh
ing 5000 pounds. This quantity of
explosive was so large that naval Off
Gers here can scarcely believe it was
a5sg tie 'or any human being aboard to
escape alive had this magazine ex-
p.oded. y
There were about one hundred es-
capped, some Of them badly wounded.
The Maine is battleship of the
second class, and is regarded as one Of
the best ships in the new navy. She
was built at the Brooklyn navy yard
and is 3lS feet long, IS feet broad, p 6
mean draught and 6,6s2 tons displace-
ment. She carries four l0-inch and six
inch brecch-loading guns in her main
battery, and seven 6.pounder and eight
l.pounder rapid fire guns and four
Gatlings in her secondary battery and
four Whitehead torpedoes.
The Maine was built in New York in
| 800 mt a cost OF -. 5sS 600.

A VALENTINE PARTY.

The residence of MIR. and Mrs. Fred
a. Washburn was the scene Of music,
mirth and enjoyment Monday night for
IA company OF young people who assem-
bled there on invitation of their son,
Carlton Wood Washburn. There were
twenty-five present and Mr.. and Mrs.
Washburn spared no pains to make the
young folks happy and feel perfectly
at home. Roses, carnations and smi-
lax were used in the decorations, and
in the dining room two tables were
provided for the guests in the centre
of which were large punches OF roses,
and at each plate was a rose for the
lady and carnation for the gentle
man tied with ribbon which bore the
word st. Valentine. Smilax traced
the tables, winding over the white
linen and embroidery pieces, making
the sight : pretty one. After the gen
tlemen had succeeded in fielding their
partners TO supper through cutely
clipped cards all were seated, and the
refreshments were served in courses
which began with escalloped oysters,
ending with ice cream. Crokonole
and like games were played and each
guest received souvenir from re-
volving ST. Valentine wheel. 1t was
"A happy event.
