bonds.
After a consultation over the tele-
phone with City Solicitor Conrad and
City Treasurer Hamann. who are in
Syracuse N. Y, John S. Rossell, sink
ink fund commissioner, yesterday af-
ternoon wrote to c. H. White & Co., OF
New York, the brokers who recently
bought the $4,000 Of city bonds, for
which they have not settled, that they
will be held unalterably to the contract
of sale as 1t occurred. This was in re-
sponse to a telegram from White & Co.
to Mr. Rossell. in which they an
nounced they would accept the bonds
il they were changed to coupon bonds,
instead of registered bonds. as they
are at present.
Mr.. Rossell penned an official reply

thorities, and that until White & Co.
have paid for the bonds now deposited

sell stated that the brokers were ex-
pected to pay for the registered bonds
as sold, and City Solicitor Conrad, Mr.

treasurer to issue coupons. He also
thought that anything reasonable
might be done by the city to aid the

PLANS FOR THE COUNTY WORK
HOUSE DISCUSSED WITHOUT
DEFINITE ACTION RESULTING.
The county workhouse trustees held
another meeting yesterday afternoon,
and ordered contamination OF the pur-
chase Of forty acres Of the Finn farm
for a site for the institution.
The price paid for the land was 1925
an acre, or $4,000 for the entire tract.
This is considered a good price for
land in the vicinity. One OF the trls-
tees denied report going the rounds
that the supply OF rock on the tract
will be exhausted in a few years. He
says before any preliminary attempt
was made to acquire the land, borings
for rock were made by Philip Tyre
and Mr.. Mcconnell, practical quarry
men. They stated that there was suffi-
cient rock to last for more than fifty
years in the small portion they went
over The quarry is opened at one
side
Plans submitted by Pawley & Co,
architects Of st. Louis, for the work
house proper, were discussed. They
call for a spacious prison, to be con-
structed of brick and rock, such af
can be taken from the workhouse quar-
ries, and the cells are to be of steel
While the plans practically were ac-
cepted, there are some details of con-
'struction to be agreed on.
The price of steel cells has ad.
vanced within the past few months
and this will prove a great item unless
there is a slump in the price of steel

There is a story of revival meeting
which took place near Willoughby some
time ago. A certain worthy exhorter
took the floor and started in on an ex-
tended discourse. He talked and talked
and talked. Time was swallowed up,
other speakers were crowded out, the au-
dience was exhausted, and still the ex-
horter talked on.
Pretty soon he paused moment to
catch his breath. and then, spreading out
his hands, he beloved forth:
IL see mighty field before mel"
Before he could get any farther he
was interrupted by little German-Amer
lean in a front seat. The little man
turned half round and said in penetrat-
ing whisper:
"Poys, poys, somebody put up der bar
gwiek! II he effer gifts himself inside of
dot field, We Won't go home tonight"
The exhorter saw the point and brought
his remarks to a hurried close.-Cleye-
