Phinney's Great Band,

An Eastern critic, speaking of this
organizations concert, says: ''If a
generous and hearty applause is a
true Indicator of thorough apprecia-
ton, then Phinney's United States
band has won the hearts of our people.
On the Grand Plaza at West End =,
New Orleans, last summer, thousands
gathered day after day and nioht
after night and listened with closest
attention to its enchanting music. It
Is not one word too much to say that
no band west of New York can be
compared with it, and only the Gilmore
and Sousa bands can be called its
rivals. Frederick Phinney, the con-
ductOr, has been a most zealOus
worker and enthusiast for the mast
fifteen years, and has such a control
OF his band when directing it. that
the slightest touch or modulatiOn in
stantiy produces response to his baton.
As Mr., Phinney gracefully raises his
baton, the air is filled with music like
the dazzling warmth of brilliant sun
beams which touch the heart of the
listener and cause it to vibrate with
sympathetic harmony until the soul
sWells beyond it's usual capacity and
feels the enchanting strains in its in
nermost recesses. " At Turner Opera
house, Thursday, February 16.

Alderman Dunigan moved to amend
by including the mayor and aldermen
il the ordinance.
Alderman .5rusenbach complimented
the alderman from the Seventh for his
zeal In behalf Of the members of the
council, and while he believed the al
dermen did much for which they
should receive compensation, he did
not think their constituents would
take that view Of it, and he therefore
should vote against it.
Alderman jacob was opposed to
salary grabbing and strongly OBJ
jected to the amendment.
The amendment was defeated by the
following vote:
Ayes-Dunigan. Edwards, Fred
richs, Glaser, Mayer and Straw-6.

Two Supreme Court Decisions OF
Local Interest.

Inc state supreme court has re-
versed the decision of the circuit court
OF Dodge county in the case of Theo.
I. Hemmy versus George Hawkins.
Rambusch, as executor of the Cutler
estate, borrowed 80, 500 from Haw kins
upon his personal note, and using for
collateral security mortgage belong
ing to the estate. Rambuseh never
turned the money over to the esta te,
and Mr.. Hemmy, administrator de
bonis non, sued to recover the mort
gage. The lower court ruled that
Mr.. Hawkins was responsible for the
amount due the estate. Harlow Pease
appeared for Mir. Hawkins. and Ma
lone q Bachhuber and Judge Sawyer
tor Mr.. Hemmy. The reversal leaves
he bondsmen liable for the amount
Of the loss
The other case is that of Maldaner
versus Schmidt The plaintiff sued
on note and mortgage given by the
defendant to Rambusch, which were
sold to the plaintiffs father. Pay
ment was contested on the ground that
ne (SchmidD had paid Rambusch the
full amount Of the note and mortgage.
and that the note had the words
''or order" interlined. but it appears
that Rambusch returned only the
interest to the Maldaners. It was also
maintained by the defendant that the
lnterlining was done after the making
OF the note and therefore void This
position was sustained by the lower
court, but the supreme court deter
mined otherwise.

CROKER IN CONTEMPT,
Principal Development of the Mazet In
quiry Into Gotham fairs.

PRINCIPAL Development of the Mazet In
quiry Into Gotham Affairs.
New York, April 1S.-In the session
OF the Mazet legislative investigating
committee yesterday Richard Croker
was again the principal Object of Moss
examination and the most important
development was the probability that
the Tammany chieftain and John f.
Carroll will be the subject of contempt
proceedings before the state legislatu
shall adjourn. All during the evidence
yesterday Croker parried the questions
Of the counsel and refused to satisfy
the members with the amount of in
formation he was willing, to give re-
garding matters which he classified as
personal affairs" An adjournment of
the committee was taken until next
Friday morning and Croker was sub
poenaed to reappear before the session
on next Monday morning. Croker re-
peatedly refused to answer questions,
and he had several sallies with Moss
that came very near being personal
The chairman OF the committee took
such action as would leave Croker in
technical contempt.
When the committee began it's in
4ehy ySStciudy dDOul the nTSt lHIHS
brought up was resort known as the
Broadway Garden, which had f1ourished
In the upper Broadway district for some
time. In this place the alleged robbery
OF the former mayor of Trenton, Frank
Mcgowan, took place. and Simon Butt
ner, the former proprietor of the gar
den, and several of his walters were
examined. Buttner made some startling
charges against Police Captain Price
and his walters corroborated, in part
his testimony
Assemblyman Hoffman offered a reso-
luton to have certain prominent men
summoned before the committee be-
cause of rumor that a certain law
firm by and with the assistance of
other persons, by corrupt methods Sc
cured the passage through the assem-
bly," Of the Astoria gas franchise, whose
real purpose was to enable the Con-
solidated Gas company to force a con-
solidation of all the gas interests in the
city, to the end that the supply of gas
might be controlled and the price regu-
lated by the so-called consolidation"
Hoffman wanted to subpoena the law
firm of Tracy Boardman & Plat; Elhu
Root; the incOrporators of the Astoria
Heat, Light and Power company; Thos.
G. Plat, Benjamin b. Odell. Lemuel
Ely Quigg and John d. Crimmons The
resolution was defeated, however, five
Republicans opposing 1t and two Demo-
Gratis favoring it.
