JUDGMENT AGAINST THE CITY
In the kessler Hospital Suit for
Treating Frank Seymour.

Tuesday, Squire J. n. David render
ed Judgment for 5000 against the city
in the suit brought by Kessler hos
pital on bill for the treatment given
by that institution to Frank Sey-
mour, the tramp knocked off b. 4 o.
freight train in the depot yards
Thanksgiving day by Alpheus Tucker.
The bill appeard TO be very reasonable
as it was for IS days medical treat
ment, nurses, room and all things
incident thereto 1t will be remem-
bered that the chief of police found
Seymour in what might be considered
an almost dying condition and inthe
emergency that confronted him had
the wounded man taken to the hos
pital. and as he was officer of the city
his request, or instruction, that the
man be cared for was an implied con-
tract, at least. The bill was present.
ed to the city council, but that body
took the ground that the county
should pay the bill, as Seymour was a
county charge. The incident en-
phasizes the necessity Of an amend
ment to the city charter, by which
the city's poor may be separted from
the county poor. We should be en-
powered to look after our own poor,
Independent OF the county.

BILL RAlsERs SENT 70 JAIL.
A Clear Case Made Out Against Man
and his wife for bill! raising.

George Bacocio and wife, arrested
at Grafton Friday night for having In
their possession and passing raised
bills, were brought here Tuesday
morning by Secret Service 0ficer
Charles d. Elliott and U. S. Deputy
Marshal DanR. jackson and given a
preliminary hearing before United
States Commissioner T. S. Spates,
who held them for the federal grand
jagS In $500 bond each. In default Of
bond they were both committed to
Jail TO await federal court, which con-
venes here April 18th next.
The evidence showed that Bacocio
tirSt went into Howard Painter'Sstore,
asked for a mail pouch of tobacco and
handed out a bill rolled up. Painter
opened the bill and told Bacocio 1t
had been raised. He said he would
take 1t back where he had received it.
Painters boy followed Bacocio and
saw him go into a dwelling house and
then the police were notified and they
arrested him, but found no money on
him. When asked about the bill he
said he had passed 1t at a grocerystore
buying five cents worth Of tobacco,
and he guided the officers to Henry
Colerider's store. This part Of his
story was corroborated- by Miss Ncttie
p. Colerider, who sold him five cents
worth OF E-Twist tobacco and changed
the raised IS bill for him. She was
sure he had passed it there, as that
was the only IS taken in at the store
that day.
The Grafton police also told about
asearch they made in Bacocio's room,
III which they found purse on Mrs.
Bacocio's person, while she was in bed
having spasmsother real or pretended.
In this purse we're three raised bills.
Only about IS of good money was
found In the room.
The bills wereof the 1896 series OF
the two-dollar denomination and had
been raisee to q, the work having been
neatly and deity executed by the wo-
man, 1t is supposed.
Local parties stalled to identify Ba-
coeio as the man who passed raisedbills
here several weeks ago. The govern
ment officers are satisfied he Is the
same party and ascribe the failure to
identify to the fact that he had his
mustache BACKED then, while now IL
is sandy.
isalleged that the man and woman
boarded seyeralweeks here at Richard
Hoffman's on Water street but left
just after the bills were passed here.

| L. S. Hornor-la am In favor OF any
Improvement of the city, and very
much in favor of the bond issue.
r. NJ. Orr-Am opposed to it. The
proposition is wrong 1t ought to be
visa versa $35, 900 for sewerage and
SIS, 900 for paving.
C. S. Sands-I am for the bonds or
any other improvement the city can
make. l believe the city should be
severed and paved.
Or. T. E. Gore-Iam for the bonds.
f. r. Moore-I am for the bonds.
Am for any kind Improvement that
will go to help thecity.
John c. Vance-I am opposed to
placing debt Of fifty thousand dollars
upon the people Of Clarksburg for the
purpose of sewering and paving, In ad-
dition to the bonded debt which al
ready exists. Twelve years ago the
town issued its bonds for $4,000 for
water works, and afterward an addi-
tlonal $4,000 for new engines, ETC.,
making the cost Of the water works
$50, coo, and on this debt we have paid
over S25, 600 in interest, and yet the
bonded debt is to-day s4s.7oo or only
81. 800 less than the original issue of
bonds. From present outlook 1t will
be fully thirty years before this debt is
paid. / am Informed that before long
new water mains will have to be put
down at great expense. With the tax
levy up to the full limit of the law, as
1t will be in a few months, and debt
Of 800, 900, bearing interest, to be paid,
where will the money come from to re-
place worn out water mains? To add
this proposed additional debt of $4,000
and interest, is too much Of a burden
for this town under the circumstances
now existing.
P. II. Koblegard-I favor pavingand
sewering the city to the limit. The
idea of a country town like Buck
hannon getting ahead Of us!
DR.. j. B. Smith, am In favor Of
getting out of debt before incurrlng
further indebtedness.
DR.. Fleming Howell favor sewer
age and paving, when done on business
principles.
