ALL THAT WAS FORFEITED, HOW
EVER, WILL BE RETURNED.

The Money That Contractor 5. s.

Him from Obtaining Bond.
A resolution providing for the return
Of the forfeit money which Contractor
S. S. Leonard deposited with the city
at the time the contract for the con-
struction Of the new City Hall was
awarded him. was passed last night by
Council without dissenting vote.
The resolution was introduced by
Alderman D. r. Thomas. though it had
been previously intended to let it come
from the Committee Of the Whole. 1t
was considered in caucus and agreed
upon before being taken up in the open
meeting.
The resolution follows: Resolved
That the petition of 5. 5. Leonard is
duly considered. and under all the cir
cumstances it is deemed equitable ana
proper to comply with the prayers of
said petition, this action being in no
sense a precedent.
Treasurer TO Hand 1t over.

ury of the city to Leonard, or his
written order. upon his giving such re-
ceipts as shall be rendered to him on
behalf of the city. and the chairman
of the Finance Committee is directed
to carry this resolution into effect"
The petition referred to in the reso-
luton was one from Leonard asking
that the money be given back. Every
member of Council and the Mayor
also. was present when the resolution
was considered in causus, though May
or Myers and Alderman McKenna were
not present for the open meeting.
Mayor Myers left at 10 o'clock for Ma
con to be present to-day a a meeting
of the directors of the Macon street
railroad. Alderman McKenna only at
tended the Council caucus. He left i'm
mediately after that was over. In the

Council James NJ. Dixon presided at
the meeting.

The facts in regard to the $500,
which Leonard deposited with the city.
are remembered bys readers of the
Morning News. The money was put
up as a guarantee that he would fur
nish bond for putting up the building,
when the contract was awarded him.
He failed to do this, but claimed the
insertion Of a clause in the bond, which
gave to parties furnishing material for
the building the right to sue on the
bond in the name of the city, was re-
sponsible for this failure.
The money was long ago forfeited by
Mayor Myers and turned into the gem
eral funds of the city. 1t was, there
fore, necessary to pass a special reso-
luton to refund it, The money may
be paid back at once now, upon the

DELAYED BY HEAVY SNOWFALL

Denver, March N.-The committee rep
resenting the miners expelled from Tellu-
ride by an organization OF business men
has abandoned the attempt to appeal to
the Governor for protection after trying
in vain for three days to obtain an audi
ence with him.
The members of the committee have de-
parted for Ouray, where the deported men
are making preparations to march to
Telluride. accompanied by an armed escort
provided by the miners unions of Ouray,
Silverton, Durango and Ophir.
As the citizens who drove the miners
out Of Telluride declare that they will not
be permitted to return, pitched battle
pose.
In order to avert further hostilities an
effort will be made to obtain an injunc-
ton from the district court forbidding any
Interference with members of the miners
union at Telluride
Governor Peabody declared to-day that
he would take steps to prevent the march
iLg of armed bodies of men into Telluride.
"The Constitution and the laws do not
permit the mobilizlng or marching Of
armed bodies of men without the sanction
of the Governor, and propose to see that
1t is not done in this case" he said.
All trails over the mountain around
Telluride have been blocked by heavy
snowfall to-day and consequently It may
be impossible for the exiled miners to
return to Telluride for several weeks, un-
less they can enter over the railroad.

tify as to the alleged oUtrages at the Ar
cade polling place in the Twenty-eighth
ward. where Indians" under the direction
of John j. LAWN are said to have ASSAULT
ed respectable citizens who had gone to
exercise their rights as voters.
1t Is understood that the judges and
clerks at the polling place have sent to
the Board OF Police Commissioners a let
ter In which they state that the police
men assigned to duty there afforded them
every protection.
Whilu this may be true as to the judges
and clerks, many citizens, 1t is said. are
prepared to testify before the Grand Jury
that the protection was not afforded them
President William G. Frye of the Police
Board conferred with the Grand Jury for
a few minutes yesterday afternoon and, it
Is believed. was requested to send the DO

completed and at the end of the run are
two derTicks, which are used to draw up
timber from the ground, as the structure
at this point is about twelve feet above the
street.
Courtright and eight men were working
near these derricks. when part of the der
rick on the west side OF the bridge broke
and fell, striking Courtright and Frank
Thornton. also a carpenter, The former
was killed instantly. while Thornton re-
ceived a slight bruise on the head.
The beam was about thirty feet long

directly at the bottom OF the derrick and
fell with full force on Courtright. A joice,
which was being pulled up by rope,
made the beam fall with heavier and
quicker force.
There were about thirty men working
on the bridge at the time. but they were
laid of for the remainder of the afternoon
on account of the accident.
Courtright was about 35 years old and
lived at the Cherokee Hotel. 1t is thought
that he was stranger in the city and had
gone to work for this company at noon.
His body was taken to the morgue.
Thornton refused to be taken to the Dis
pensary and was sent to his home at the
Southwestern Hotel.

CUBAN COMMISSIONER SEES
BRIGHT FUTURE FOR ISLAND.
Esteban Duque de Estrada Speaks
Before Mems Club of First
Presbyterian Church.

Cuba and Her People" was the sub
ject Of lecture delivered last night by
Esteban Duque de Estrada, Cuban Com
missioner General to the Worlds Fair, be-
fore the Mems Club of the First Presby-
terrain Church. The occasion was the regs
ular March meeting of the organization.
Preceding the lecture. the Knickerbocker
Quartet sang a number of selections,
which were repeatedly encored. Mr. Es-
trada said that the transformation which
has come over the island of Cuba during
the last five years has been wonderful,
and the traveller who saw that country
Snder conditions which prevailed during
Spanish sovereignty could now scarcely
believe 1t to be the same.
Formerly" he said life and property
were not safe because of the Spanish mis-
rule. but under the Government estab-
lished on the island under American sr-
pervisiou this state of affairs no longer
exists.
Vast strides are also being made by
the present Government In the matter of
education. Prior to five years ago, there
were only $50 schools, with an attendance
OF about 5000 scholars: now there are over
5000 schools. with an average attendance
of over 10000 children.
THE same change for the better is no.
ticeable in all lines. The American spirit
is permeating the people of Cuba, and It
will not be long before the Cubans will
have formed a model American Republic.
