Council.
WARMDISCUsSION OFAFFAIRS
GotIieb Arndt Wants Information
on the Method of Charging
for Water.

The meeting at the Union hall called
as a caucus for the nomination of one
alderman in each ward, developed into
what had more of the appearance of an
annual meeting than caucus, but there
was little to do in the way of nominating
candidates as the slate had been fixed
and the leaders knew before the meeting
was called what was going to transpire.
There was representative crowd pre-
sent, that is in numbers; and that was
due largely to the fact that for two days
previous Hoidale & Somsen had placed
some new notices IN the hands of their
collector and he had left them with the
creditors, telling them that it was i'm
portant that they should call at their
office at once. This they construed to
mean that a secret caucus was being call
ed and the word went out that the
electric light people were to put up a
ticket. and it scared them into getting
out to reinforce the opposition.
The meeting was called to order by
Philip Liesch, and he called upon Mr..
Eibner to address the meeting on the
financial condition of the city, and that
gentleman in German gave statement
of the improvements that have been
made, expenses that have to be met and
the intent of the council for the future.
At the conclusion of the statement
Gotl,eb Arndt arose and asked to know
about the water rates, saying that be
didn't think that the present charges
were equal and that the large consumers
were getting their water much cheaper
than the small ones. Mr.. Schilling an
swered him in a very comprehensive
argument, showing that the city was en-.
deavoring to adjust the matter so that
the burden would fall equally upon all
he was followed by Mr.. Eckstein, who
upheld the formers views. Mr.. Arndt
still maintained that the city was running
both the light and the water works as
though they were a private institution
instead of municipality and the city
had no right to make the prices to the
large and the small consumers so wide
apart. Mr.. Eibner said that the counci
had the matter under Amusement and il
all probability at the next meeting she
matter would be taken up and If there
was possible way to readjust the rates i
would be done.
The nomination of candidates result
ed in the reelection of Mr.. Amann, Mr.
Flor and Anton Richartz in the place
of Mr.. Manderfeld, who has all he want
of aldermanic honors. The new man
who has no opposition and will be elect
ed, is man who has set views of lis owl
and will make good man on the coun
Gil. He is entirely in harmony with tn
balance of the members and the council
will lack the straight out vigorous op
position that they sometimes met witt
in Mr.. Manderfeld. In this respect tn
greatest of harmony may be expected tt
prevail.

in this house. He was a big, brawny
fellow then, as he was in later life.
"Well, in 1S49, the California gold

others herea bouts caught the fever and
went to the gold fields. The govern

not far from the fort and was to take
some soldiers around the Horn.
In some way or other Flood man

troops. Around the Horn he went
AFTER Flood had been in California
several years he returned here one fine
morning and called on my father. My
father offered Flood a good position.
but Flood declined 1t, saying that he
had made about $4,000 in California,
and would probably open a Wheel
wright shop of his own.
Flood never opened the shop, how
ever. He drifted back to California,
and, as you probably know, opened a
hotel in San Francisco, where he met
Mackay, O'Brien and others. Floods
career from then on is quite common
history.
after Flood had accumulated his
millions he came down here to see
me one day in 1877, and we had a long
talk of old days in Fort Hamilton.
Father, of course, had died some years
before. The residents of the place soon
learned that the great Bonanza king
was here to see me and all the natives
wanted to meet him, and many did.
Here is his picture, which he then gave
me, and which you will see was taken
in San Francisco.
when Flood first returned to the
East and visited my father he was as
proud of that $4,000 he had accumulated
as he ever was OF his millions. Flood
was a good fellow. bluff, hearty soul"

grinned and made no reply.
1.-The Willie Wise bookmaker took the
ticket out of the dinge's hand, added an
additional nought to the 5000, making it
read $1,000 to $10 and then handed 1t
back to the black trainer, saying:

around.
"Then the horse that had run away
four miles before the race accomplished
the unheard of feat of hopping off in

ribbon and beating the bunch in gall

1.-The smart Alec bookie had to make
good to the dinge to the tune of $4,000
instead of $500. He'd have ducked out
of it had he been able, but there were
too many around who heard him guy
the black man and seen him tack on
the extra nought with his little pencil.
and they kidded him into squaring the
ticket right in front of their eyes. He
had to do it to save being dubbed d

A BONANZA KING HIS PUPIL.
James C. Flood Once a Wheelwrisht
at Fort Hamilton.
From the New York Sun.

Ex-Judge Charles w. Church recalled
one day last week an interesting fact
now remembered by few persons, name
ly, that the late James G. Flood, one
of the Bonanza kings, once worked
at the trade of Wheelwright at Fort
Hamilton.
Flood learned his trade, at Fort Ham
ilton in the shop of the late Col. James
G. Church, the grandfather of the pres
ent surrogate of Kings county. Col.
Church lived at Fort Hamilton avenue
and One Hundred and First street. The
house is now occupied by ex-Judge
Church, who is one of his sons and the
uncle of the surrogate
Col. Clinch gained his title in the
state militia. In his day Fort Hamilton
was a village in the old town of New
Utrecht. Besides the army post, there
were only the houses of few Dutch
settlers.
Col. Clinch was the leading merchant
of the village and its vicinity. He had
a large country store, lumber yard,
a sawmill, a coal yard, a shoemaker S
shop and a wheelwright shop. And In
addition he owned line of stages run
ming from Fort Hamilton to Fulton
ferry.
Flood worked for my father" said
Judge Church. in telling OF the Boz
nanza kings residence at Fort Hamil-
ton, "I remember II well ,and nave
good reason to, for ii was myself who
taught James c. Flood how TO read,
write and figure.
about 1915 or 1886, a young Irish
man came along one day and asked my
father for a job. He was Flood. Father
put him to work as an apprentice in the
Carriage shop. He finally learned the
trade of wheelwright and was a good
mechanic.
cat that time Flood could not write
his name There were several other
young fellows in the shop who were in
the same predicament. /, of course, had
the advantages OF a good education.
one morning my father said to me:
"'Charley, when you have spare time
you might teach these fellows how to
read. write and cipher
II readily assented, and soon had a
class formed to teach at home even
ings. We met right here In the dining
room of this house.
Flood was an eager student, and
his ambition to learn was well illus
trated at a session of the class one
evening. Some of the fellows were
fooling and carrying on. Flood got
angry at them and exclaimed:
See here, don't know what you
fellows came here for, but l came here
to learn something and / am going to
do it, If you don't want to learn why,
don't stop other people,
Flood acquired all of his schooling
