Total expenditures on street and at
quarry for the month of November,
So, 769.51.
1t is but fair to state that several
thousand dollars Of the money already
spent was used in buying new machin-
cry and in preparing the streets for the
permanent improvements now to be
made on them.
The Street committee thinks the ex-
penses now will not be so heavy as in
any of the preceding six months, but
even then and with the Strictest econ
omy, the $1,000 left viii not keep street
work going for another six months.
But that ether $4,000 cannot be
touched till next June.

The Bootblack Tax.

There was much fun made yesterday
of the aldermen for passing an ordinance
requiring bootblacks to pay license
tax. 1t is a tax that cannot. under the
Supreme court decision of this State be
enforced State VS.. Yearly. 119 n. c.,
but the aldermen did not know that when
they passed it. The tax is AN exceed
ingly unjust one from amy view point,
however. and there should never have
been any attempt to impose it.

the water, although it died shortly
afterward. The matter was reported to
the officers, and upon investigating the
matter, it seems more than probable
that Ezra Butler. supposedly from
Hooper, lost his life in the river.
1t seems that Tuesday evening But
Ter and man named John Preece were
in the city, and Preece negotiated a
deal whereby he sold his wagon to But
Ter, but Butler took possession of the
entire outfit by mistake. He was seen
about 8 O'Clock near the scene of the
accident
Detective Fender. Officer Burton and
Deputy Sheriff Joseph Bailey secured
a boat and grab hooks and thoroughly
dragged the river, but nothing further
than blanket which was in the wagon
was found. The fact that it was
Freezes horse that was found in the
river gave the impression that he was
drowned, and courier was dispatched
to his home to inform his wife. His

wagon.

WILL GO HUNGRY NO MORE
RICHARD DAVERhOSEN WILL
LEAVE JAIL. WEALTHY MAN.
Stole 80 Cents When Starving, But
Has Fallen Heir to $4,000,
Which Is Now Awaiting Him.

San Francisco, June 7.-Richard
Daverkosen, who is now serving a term
in the county Jail for stealing 30 cents
from the poor box of st. Josephs Cath
Ollie church, will find 10000 gulden, or
about $4,000 American money. to his
credit in the National Holland bank
when he is released two weeks from
today.
He took the 80 cents because he was
on the verge of starvation and was too
proud to beg. After his conviction his
wife and children left him, returning TO
their former home in Germany.
Several days ago the German consul
here, Adolph Rosenthal, received a let
ter from AK La Chapelle, making
pressing inquiries for Richard Daverko-
sen, once staff officer of the great
Won Moltke, and stating that an in
heritance of 100000 gulden, part of the
estate of his maternal aunt, Nine.
Schleicher, was awaiting the lucky
heirs pleasure. The letter was from
the sister of the missing man.
He was found in prison and taken
by two officers to the consulate. where
he established his identity as Captain
Daverkosen, son of enc of the best and
most wealthy families of Arnheim Hol-
land. He Joined the German army on
the outbreak of the Franco Prussian
war and made good record. 1t is said
he will inherit $500, 900 more on the
death of his step mother
