METHOD INDoRsED.
Plan Of Mr.. Burke for Handling Spe.
cial Assessment Papers.

Z
Mr.. Moncure Burke of the engineer de-
partment has prepared a draft of the rou-
tine which he suggests be adopted in the
handling of special assessment papers. The
suggestions made by Mr.. Burke have been
approved by Colonel Biddle, who has for
warded the papers to his associates on the
board Of Commissioners. The routine rec
commended is as follows:
II. That the chief clerk keep a complete
list of all assessment work ordered by the
Commissioners which has to be executed by
the engineer department. such list to be
kept carefully posted up to date.
~. That when an assessment job EaS
been completed and the papers duly in
dorsed for reference to the assessor or
special assessment clerk they will be de-
livered to the assessment Office by the chief
clerk. who will take a receipt on his list
for each paper so delivered, with the date
Of such delivery.
IS. That on the first of the month the
heads of the surface. sewer and water dfvt-
sions will submit to the Engineer Commsi-
sioner statement of assessment jobs for
ing month. These lists will be checked by
the chief clerk against the list kept in his
Office, and certified by him as to the papers
which have been delivered for assessment,
and he will submit statement concerning
such papers, II any, included in said lists
which have not been delivered. The state.
ments should then be forwarded to the
auditor SO that an audit may be made to
see that the proper assessments are duly
levied"
1t Is believed by the engineer depart
ment that this form of procedure will fur
nish check against omissions which under
the present conditions might easily occur
with serious results.

ArabelIa D. Huntington, az executr;x,
and Charles H. Tweed, as executor OF the
estate of the late Coils P. Huntington,
have brought suit in the supreme court
equity term, before Justice Keogh. in
Brooklyn, against Sylvester H. Kneeland,
who constructed the elevated railroads OF
Manhattan to recover more than $1oo0o,
which the plaintiffs say was loaned to Mr..
Kneeland about the time he was interested
in the st. Louis and Toledo railroad. John
E. Parsons represented the Huntington es-
tate and Col Franklin Bartlett and Senator
Ford the defendants.
Mr.. Kneeland alleges that he decided
against Judgment creditors. and that there
was an agreement that 1t should be return
ed to him under certain contingencies. He
denies that 1t was to secure Mr.. Hunting
ton, and says that he turned over to Mr..
Huntington shares In the st. Louis and
Toledo road at the time of the financing or
the road valued at 100000 and preferred
stock worth $75O,O00. He further alleges
that when the road was reorganized as the
Toledo st. Louis and Western Railroad
Company, the Huntington interests con-
verified this stock into the new issue. which,
he alleges, is now worth $1,O00.OoO. He asks
that the property be decided back to him.
and he demands accounting from the
Huntington estate as regards the counter
claim,

VAN WICK vITRIoLIC.
Declares Mayor Low Greatest Failure
That Ever Sat in City Hall.

dispatch from New YORK fast night
says:
Mayor Low will quit his office January
1 with the distinction of having been the
greatest failure that ever sat in the city
hall"
This was pronounced on the outgoing
mayor by his predecessor, Robert A. van
Wyck, as he sat In one of the Parlors or
the Democratic Club yesterday afternoon.
He predicted for George B. Mcclellan
one of the brightest regimes that has ever
characterised the city government.
when 1 say Mr.. Low has failed mean
it in every sense. He promised reform
when none was needed. and gave misruie.
He misjudsed the people who put him In
power misinterpreted their wishes or else
went contrariwise He promised economy
and gave extravaganza. He failed utterly
to grasp the situation, and his failure IN
all these is the secret of Mr.. McClellan's
success 1t Is equally the best argument
ever offered for responsible. partisan gov
ernment. BY that I don't mean for the
benefit of the party. but for the people
whom none understand 80 wen as the poll
ticians-practfcal politicians, II you will
who mingie with them, know their needs
and observe their desires.
ITO epitomize the causes of Mr.. Lows
failure, 1t Is lack Of sympathy. He never
got into touch with the people he gov
the men he picked to do his wishes didp't.
He didn't make a single selection that
was what could be called ideal. They may
have been specialists in theory, but they
were not in practice. and they have uni
formly scored the same lack of success
that the mayor has.
From the police department down the
city employees are demoralixsd. Reform
means to them fear that their jobs are In
jeopardy, and that means that the best
work cannot be got out of them. Expenses
Of the government have Increased out Of
proportion to results; taxation has become
heavier and out of proportion to the bene-
fits. and today, in its closing hours. the
great undertaking initiated and progress
shown only in the works projected either
during my time or the administrations of
my predecessors"

Minister Beaupre Due at Cartagena
Next SUNDAY.

A cablegram from Panama last night
says:
cable reports from the interior Of CO.

United States minister, left Honda today
on the Magdalena steamer with a company
or artillery as escort. The Colombian gov
eminent sent the soldiers with him at his
request.
Hostile demonstrations are expected at
river ports along the line.
MI Beaupre is due at Cartagena Sunday.
An American warship will meet him and
bring him to Colon.
The presence of a man-of-war at Carta-
gena may result in rioting, as the popular
feeling there is very bitter toward Amer
leans, and the notion prevails that the
cruiser should not enter the port.
Inc cruiser Mayfiower came into Colon
yesterday from the Gulf of Darien, to
which place she went after stopping at
the Island of Pines, thirty miles north
west of Cape Tiburen and in Panama ter

TO CHECK CONSUMPTION.
Consumptive Policemen and Firemen
Must Quit Active Duty.

A dispatch from New York last night
says:
The board of health adopted a resolution
yesterday that no man suffering from tu-
berculosis should be retained for active
duty in the police or fire department.
The resolution explained that as the dis
ease was contagious 1t would be detrimental
to the general health OF the city to allow
men suffering with tuberculosis to occupy
the same room. A greater part of the po-
tcemen and firemen sleep in dormitories
while on reserve duty.
Commissioner Lederle explained that some
OF the men affected by the new order would
be retired. Others in whom the disease had
not reached contagious stage would be
assigned to details where they could sleep
at home.
Seventeen policemen have been reported to
the bureau of contagious diseases as suffer-
ting with tuberculosis.
