WATCH DOG" OvERRULED
HEALTH COMMISSIONER MAY FIX
HIS SALARY LIST TO SUIT
HIMSELF
Corporation Attorney Holds That
Comptroller McCardy Exceeded
His Authority In Holding Up the
January Pay Roll.

The watch dog of the treasury" was
sent back to his kennel again yester-
day by the corporation attorney. This
time Comptroller McCardy was revers-
ed in regard to his having held up the
January pay roll of the health depart
ment. The case is parallel with the
one concerning the building inspectors
department in which the corporation
attorney. Wednesday. in an opinion
upheld the building inspector in raising
the salaries of his employees, after
Comptroller McCardy had held up the
pay roll for this cause.
In the case of.the health department,
DR.. Stone sent in his pay roll with the
salary of live stock inspector, meat
inspector and two sanitary inspectors
fixed at $65 a month"; The comptroller
sent the document back with the rec
ommendation that it be corrected to
correspond with the tax budget, which
provides that the officers concerned
shall not receive more than $720 annual
ly. or $50 a month. DR.. Stone contend
ed that simply because the salaries Of
his department were itemized in the
budget that this did not nulify a pro-
vision of the charter to the effect that
he could not pay these employees more
than $500 q year and appealed to the
corporation attorney, as did Building
Inspector Haas.
The corporation attorney holds that
the health commissioner may fix the
salaries of his deputies at whatever
figures he may desire, SO long as the
general appropriation for the depart
ment is not exceeded. The fact that
the council may have passed the sal
aries itemized is held to be of no eff

ally discussing number Of preliminary or
ders for sewers on certain streets, the board

Consigned to St. Paul DESTROYED.
The Milwaukee fast mail, which was
due to arrive at ST. Paul at o'clock
yesterday morning, was half an hour
late. The delay was on account of the
burning Of the United States Express
companys car, which was attached to
the train, few miles west Of Mil
Waukee about IL p. m. Wednesday. The
car was completely destroyed and all
express matter destined for ST. Paul
from Boston, New York, Philadelphia

falor Detroit and other cities was lost
All that was saved was the car safe
which contained some. bonds and mon
ety. sFhe loss cannot be estimated until
adj the way bills are accounted for
The train left Chicago at 9 D., M
w ednesday, with Express Messenger
Shoclley in charge of the express car
which was attached to the locomotive.
There was no stove in the car, but it
was heated by steam. The train had
passed Milwaukee when the messenger
discovered that the car was ablaze. He
Immediately applied the air brakes and
the train was stopped. The train crew
was summoned to fight the fire and
they did everything in their power to

We're unsuccessful. They detached the
scarsfrom the rest of the train and ran

effort to save the express packages,
but they only rescued the safe and a
few small packages. When the crew

Their. they abandoned it and resumed
the run to this city, leaving Shockley
with the burned car.
J. E. Olds, superintendent Of the
United States Express company in this
territory, received but meagre infor-
nation of the affair yesterday. He
told a reporter for The G o b e that
he did not understand how the car
caught fire, but it might have been
due to an explosion of something
among the packages. Someone may
have sent explosive articles by express,
though such shipments are prohibited
1t will be several days before con-
