WAS NOT STOLEN.
Horse and Buggy Taken by Mistake
Yesterday.

Chris Burmaster, the South Front
street liveryman, had a scare Sun
day. He had horse and buggy hitch
ed in front of M. Hanna's grocery
store about 10 a. M, when someone
was seen to take it and drive away.
1t was Immediately suspected that the
rig had been stolen, and the police
were notified and search was insti-
tuted. No trace of the missing rig
could be found until about s p. m,
when young lady drove it into Gates
Phillips livery barn. 1t appears that
the young lady had engaged horse
and buggy of Mr.. Phillips, to be de-
livered at Mr.. Hanna's store. When
she saw one standing there she thought
it was hers and drove off with it.
Mr.. Phillips delivered his rig at the
Brett corner and tied it. In the after
noon he found it still there and took it
back to the barn.
All the parties concerned were act
ing under mistaken impressions until
the young lady, whose actions were
perfectly innocent, returned what she
supposed to be her rig to the party
that she supposed was the owner.

APPEAL TO COURTS
Firemen Will Begin Mandamus
Proceedings.
City Recorder Williams Refuses to
Garry Out Councils Instructions
in Aa0ther Instance.

| The central station firemen and the
assistants at the pumping station dc
not propose to tamely sit down and
lose the increased salaries granted
them by the council if they can helI
it. They are not at all pleased with
the attitude assumed by the city re-
-corder. They nave decided to test the
matter in the courts.
Pfau & Ptau have been retained
by the men whose interests are at
stake, and mandamus proceedings will
be started very soon to compel the
city recorder to sign the warrants for
the increased salaries. Judge Cray
expects to leave early nezt week for a
two weeks vacation, and the hearing
will probably not be had until after his
return.
The gentlemen whose salaries the
council raised have refused to accept
the warrants for their July salaries,
rendered them yesterday by the city
recorder, as they were made out for
the old amounts. They propose to
fight the.case to the end, and it will
be determined just what the city
charter means.
In the meantime there is more
trouble brewing. City Recorder Will
liams states that he will not carry out
the councils instructions, issued at
last nights meeting, to borrow 800
from the ,waterworks fund and place
it in special assessment fund 11S,
which is the North Broad street sewer
fund. The object of the council in
directing that this be done was to al
low Contractor John Mccall to obtain
his money at once, instead of being
obliged to wait untilethe special as
sessments are paid in, which may be
years yet.
City Attorney Daley will probably
commence mandamus proceedings to
force the recorder to carry out the
councils instructions.
Mr.. Williams takes the stand that
there is no money in the treasury
properly applicable to this purpose.
1t Is likely that Mr.. Williams will
refuse to sign the warrant for $40 for
G. j. Cotter. for service as special
police, allowed by the council last
night, on the ground that he was not
reappointed by the mayor and sworn
in a second time for the period cover
ed by his bill.
