 The case of Hemingway versus l Street was resumed in the superior | court this morning. Yesterday it was

 on this case have been excused until Tuesday morning. an indication that l no further jury business will be done 1 this week. Tomorrow short calendar l will bo held as usual. The two cases
 of F. l.. AIaIoney against c. r. Downey and the Globe Publishing company {, will come up Tuesday. they being next 1 on the list. The street department is looking up 1 parties who have neglected to comply with the order of the board of alder Iltu lO anu SlOtNt ttlhS III l front of their premises and will re
 port all delinQuentsSto the prosecuting l attorney who will proceed against l them at once. The city has been leni-
 ent with many people in the matter of
 carrying out orders of this nature, but | things seem to have reached a point where something should be done in
 order to compel people Who have been
 hanging backto comply with the order 1 the same as others. No doubt this will create q big howl on the part of those | who will be effected by such action, l but they must not lose sight, of the fact that what they are about to be | compelled to do. by law is nothing 1 more than what their neighborS have l already performed without a murmtr. Much speculation is being indulged | in among those who keep an eye upon l political berths as, 10 the name of the l man who will succeed John Hurley as | foreman of the sewer department. It
 is an important position and whoever ! gets it must not look upon it asa q 1 sinecure for it is nothing of the kind. | About dozen persons are making q l bid for ii so that it is safe to state | that many will be disappointed and | necessarily so. too, but of course that ! will not prevent some of the l losers to feel that their claims did not
 receive due recognition. Some people l are saying that the office will not be
 filled until next January, but why any
 one should think so does not appear
 quite plain. It is an important posi- l ton, requires constant care and watch ] ing and it does not seem reasonable l to believe that MT Kelley can spare 1 the time to keep track of this job and l at the same time, attend to his duties as superintendent. of the street de- l partment. The vacancy ought to be l filled and let whoever is going to get l it have an opportunity to familiarize j himself with the nature of the work
 that will be required of him before the
 bad weather sets in.S
