II is proposed to carry the waters of the
River de la Plaza, the course Of which will

nish the Bond Required.
Capt. Isaac T. Jobe, who was committed
by United States Commissioner Samuel C.
Mills, is still in the District Jail, because of
his inability to furnish security in the
sum of $500, to await the action of the
grand jury. The captain, who. it is said,
has somewhat of a checkered career, is
charged with using Government penalty
envelopes of the War Department, for his
private purposes. In this connection it is
stated that this is the second offence of
q similar nature said to have been COM
mitted by the prisoner. 1t is stated that
he is under bond of $4,000 on the charge
of having been guilty of the same crime
in New York. Captain Jobe's appearance
on the streets of Washington, where he is
well known, having resided here for many
years, was a great surprise. 1t was gen.
orally believed that he was dead, an obit-
uary notice to that effect having appeared
in a Covington, KY, paper some time ago.
This notice, however, did not deceive the
postoffice inspectors, who at once con-
cluded that it was a ruse adopted by
Captain Jobe to throw them off his track
Captain Jobe was arrested by Postofiice
Inspector Betz, of Cincinnati, and Deputy
United States Marshal E. L. Turner at
the Emmett House, and was given hear
ing before Commissioner Mills. The pris-
oner waived examination through his at
torney, Campbell Darlington, and offered
$500 surety. Assistant District Attorney
Semmes objected, and bail was fixed at
$500. Captain lobe at one time held a
Government office and resided in this city.
When his connection with the Government
was severed he returned to Coyington, KY
where. when the Spanish American war
broke out, he raised company of volun-
teers and joined the Sixth Regiment of
Immunes. He was made captain ~of his
company, but it is said he was discharged.
While in the service, it is alleged that
he came into possession of a large num-
Der of blank requests for transportation

A SUIT FOR MAINTENANCE.
A Wife Charges Her Husband With
Desertion.

A suit for maintenance was instituted
yesterday in equity by Mrs. Jennie NJ
Hough against her husband, George W.
Hough, whom the complainant charges
treated her in a very shameful manner and
then deserted her and children. Mrs
Hough states that she married the
defendant in 1899, and that they lived
together until May, 1898. when, she
says, her husband deserted her. Pre-
vlous to that time, she says, he frequently
assaulted her, by striking her in the face
with the butt end of pistol, knocking her
down. She also states that on one ocAsion
he shot at her with pistol.
Mrs. Hough alleges that her husband
earns a good salary, and has no one de-
pendent upon him but herself and her two
children.

plication for liquor license. Here
after he would call no more special
meetings for this purpos, as it involved
unnecessary expense and trouble The
chief of police had been instruhted to
notify the saloon keepers when their
licenses expire in time to get in their
applications.
Health Officer Holbrook's report on
the city lookup was present as required

needed. These needs, except the last.
have already been supplied.

instructions. The motion was carried.
Aid. Jordan said that the janitor has
not time to run errands for city Of

Harry Brown Matter.

Mayor Currier asked whether any
thing was being done by the committee
on claims and accounts in the Harry
Brown matter. A number of citizens
had spoken to him recently on this
matter, seeming to think that the coun'
Gil is not making the proper effort to
get it settled.
Aid. Meyer said that the committee
had met with the attorneys for the city
and Mr.. Brown, and it had been left to
the attorneys to go over the accounts,
and to check off what is not properly
chargeable to Mr.. Brown.
The committee on printing was
granted until the next meeting to re.
port on the printing bids, at its re.
quest.
The Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother
requested the council to grant city waite,
free for the use of st. Joseph's hospital.
John Klein seconded the request and
said that the hospital uses very little
water. When the hospital becomes
self supporting it will not ask for this
help.
Aid. Meyer moved that no charge
for water at st. Joseph's hospital be
made for one year.
President Porter said that the way to
do it is for the city to pay the water
rent DIS the board of public works is
liable to fine of $500 and imprison-
ment in Jail if the bills are not made
out and collected from every con-
sumner. The city could pay the bill.
Aid. Meyer changed his motion to
protect the board, and it was carried.
Aid. Deebach moved that Park Supt.
Blake be paid $l5 for extra work" dur.
ing November. The city attorney had
held up the amount voted him at the
last meeting because it was for an in,
crease of salary and therefore unlawful

and is believed to avoid the city attor.
