REFUSES TO SIGN.
Recorder Will Not Sign Orders
In Certain Cases.
Where There is no Money In a Fund
and None to be Anticipated
He Will Refuse.

City Recorder Williams has ideas of
his own in regard to the duties of his
position, and he will not go beyond
what he conceives to be right. He re-
fuses to sign orders on any of the funds
of the city that are overdrawn to a
greater extent than the sum of the tax
levy and the taxes already in process
of collection. The tax levy is $40, 900
and the delinquent taxes and special
assessments foot up to 100000. The
proportion of this that goes to the cur
rent fund is S17, 900, and as that fund is
overdrawn $4,000 at the present time
this leaves 5000 that can be drawn
against under the charter so Mr.. Will
Hams holds. Acting on this basis he
drew the salary orders this afternoon.
The case of the road fund.is different.
1t is overdrawn $4,000; and the pro-
portion of the $50, 900 due it is but $12,
800. AS this would still leave the fund
overdrawn. Mr.. Williams will not
draw orders against that fund until
the council has placed in it enough
more money to pay the oyerdrafts and
meet the orders which it is desired to
draw. Mr.. Williams will borrow from
one fund to another only at the direc-
ton of the council.
The culvert contractors must wait
for their money until the council pro
vides money in the road fund.
Mayor Currier was asked today by a
Free Press reporter whether he would
refuse to sign orders on funds that have
no money in them. He replied that he
would use his judgment Where bills
were for necessary work or material he
would sign them if given an opportu'
nifty, but that he would not sign
orders for expenditures that are not
necessary. He said that he thought
that the council would be very econom.
ical during the remainder of the
fiscal year. but that if it should not be
he would help it to be.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Chicago 6 Northwestern Passenger Train
Has a Close Call.

A narrow escape from a bad railroad
accident occurred Sunday afternoon
on the G 6SN w. main line about three
miles east of GAINESVILLE. The passenger
train for the west was pounding along
at fifty-five miles an hour. when the for
ward wheels of the tender jumped the
track. The train was not brought to O.
stop for several minutes, and it was
then seen how narrowly a wreck had
been avoided The wheels had left the
rails on curve from some unknown
cause, and had cut the ties in two in
the middle the entire distance. 1t is a
wonder that pile up did not occur. A
passenger coach was next to the tender,
and loss of life would have resulted in
case of a wreck. The wheels were got
ten back upon the track in less than an
hour.
The same train had been delayed for
two or three hours by a wrecked freight
train near Winona. necessitating cir
cuitous route around.

MI. patterson was greatly pleased
with the English and German people
The former have very friendly feel
ing for the Americans and are their
best friends. Not as much poverty was
apparent as he expected, Italy showing
the most. Generally there was no more
beggary to be found in Europea

son believes that the Americans ought
to have very kindly feeling toward
their British cousins.

Mr. Patterson did not have any in
formation to give in regard to the Man

is good time to obtain capital, as
there is plenty of it seeking investment.
He found many large European cities

Europe is much behind America in the

Others Will Not be Dropped.

position to allow the claims against
Gen. Pope and others to drop. Aid.
Meyer states that he will make mo-
ton to instruct the city attorney to pro-
coed to collect the sums claimed to be
due, employing the usual legal methods.
The mayor states that so far as he is
concerned he would favor the starting
of legal proceedings, if necessary. How
the whole council will act remains to
be seen.
The opinion is expressed that Gen.
Pope will see the justice of the city's
claim for interest on the $500 which he
held for four years for the public
library and that he will pay the claim
before he would have fought out in
court,
The money which a member of the
first library board remembers was de

aid the library, and amounted to 1856,
and not $500 The board knew of this

his case and intends to present a state.

The Dewey celebration in New York

any nation. 1t was a most fitting
tribute to man who deserves well the

president and formally presented with
the $40, 900 sword that congress voted
for him last June.
Next week the scenes of demonstra-
