WAS NO COMMUNICATION
Mr.. Conneli Made His Second Month

His Receipts Over to the City
Auditor Instead of to the
City Treasurer.

Members of City Council are becom-
ing somewhat anxious as to the outcome
of the fight between that body and the
Street and Sewer Directors over the re-
ceipts OF the clerk of the markat.
This is especially true OF the RepubIi-
can members of Council, who have not
taken any part in the scramble of Coun-
Gil after certain receipts, which have,
heretofore, gone to the Street and Sewer
Directors.
Councilman Stewart expected that
some communication on the subject
would be received from the Street and
Sewer Directors at the meeting of Coun-
Gil last night, and after the meeting in
quired if such communication had
been received and was told that none
had come.
1t is probable that halt will be called
by Councilman Stewart and other Re.
publican Councilmen before the matter
proceeds much further.
Councilman Stewart is ofthe opinion
that the clerk of the market Connell in
turning over his receipts to the city
auditor instead Of the city treasurer is
violating the ordinance Of Council regu,

the grounds at a better figure to parties
who desired to place an Atlantic League
team here.

would kill amateur ball for the entire

pret for Council German Speech
Received From Leipsig.
At the meeting of City Council last
evening, President Alexander called at
tention to the fast that a communica-
tion had been received from Leipsig,
Germany, and asked that the clerk read
it.
AS it was il German, the clerk was
unable to read it. Mr.. Kane suggested
that Mr.. Smith be appointed to interpret
the communication for Council
MIR. Smith said he had merely glanced
over it and that it was speech which
would not interest Council. He claimed
that it would take quite while to tran.
slate it into English.
He suggested that the clerk have it
translated and read it at the meeting.
The speech was on the Boer war, and
condemned the English government. It
was delivered in Leipsig, Germany, by
Herman Dietz.
After the meeting Mr.. Smith stated
that after he had introduced his resolu.
tions in Council favoring the Beers, their

to Councilman Stewart, who then turned
them over either to the clerk of Council

necessary to enter complaint about the
I slop at his own home. When the COM

dispatched to Councilman Hamilton
Stewards home.

the slop placed on the cart. The colored
man in charge of the cart was preparing
to mount the cart and drive off.
The arrival of the cart had been noted
by the housewives of the neighborhood,
who were eveijoyed to see it as they
thought it meant that their slop was to
be taken from their homes as well as
| from the Councilman's.
| They kept their eyes on the colored
man, however, and when he prepared to
drive off they surrounded him and all
commenced to talk at once. They up,
braided him for not collecting their gar
bage and insisted that he should net
drive off without getting the slop at their
houses.

house. After Some argument he saw he
could not escape the indignant women

Before he got away from the neighbor
hood the hurry up" cart was filled to
the top.
Before attending to any other com
plants the colored man was compelled
10 make visit to the crematory and un
load the cart.
