SHOWS PATENT ABsURDITY.

To show the patent absurdity of your posi-
ton 1t is but necessary to give one simple
illustration: II in his zeal and devotion to
the public service Mr.. Andrews of the Grand
Jury should present a bill for $4,000 for his
personal services and time and money ex-
peLded would you. under order OF any Judge
audit his demand and eighteen similar de-
mands OF his fellow grand jurors If presented
the statute making no provisions whatever
for the payment of grand jurors?
You certainly would not and If YOU would
not allow such demands you certainly had no
right to allow the demands in question
I therefore again request you to make good
to the Treasurer of the city and county the
amounts allowed by you for the expenses re-
ferred to. Respectfully,
z. e. SCHMITZ
Mayor Of the City and County of San Fran
cisco.
The amounts of the demands audit
ed by Baehr for Grand Jury expenses
on court orders aggregated the sum
of 1885 43. Other demands amount-
ing to 1852 SO were audited also.
making a total of $1517 SO expended

REACH AGREEMENT
CASE OF MAGISTRATE sTRIDER
AGAINST AUDITOR GARRISON.

The caserof Justice Of the Peace Luke c.
Strider against District Auditor John r.
Garrison. which has been before the SUI
preme Court Of the District of Columbia.
has been SETTLED BUT of court by the action
OF Controller r. 4. Tracewell OF the treas
MY. with reference to the account of the
versy.
ControllaE Tracewell, In a letter received
~ tns commissioners today. states that he
mas reversed the decision OF the auditor
Ior Inc state and other departments with
reIerence TO the bStrider case, and has al
lowed IN A1r Striders account the sum OF
20 cents each in 500 landlord and tenant
cases making total allowance Of $202.2S
Inc controller mentions that this action
IN the Strider case is in accordance with his
1 t,,staoa N the case OF Samuel Church.
Justice OF the peace, decided the 18th of
January As the facts involved In the
Strioer case are similar to those In one
Drahcn or the Church case, the controller
states that he has not deemed 1t necessary
20 write a second opinion, but refers the
commissioners to the opinion in the former
case.
1t Is stated that Auditor Garrison. under
ruling from the auditor of the State and
otner departments, held that Justice Strider
should make return Immediately upon re-
ceipe OF fees In landlord and tenant cases.
justice Strider contended that the cases had
not been settled, and that therefore the
1ees should not be charged against him
controller Tracewell sustains Justice of the
Peace Strider in his contention, and the
Jaw, suit against the District auditor will
be dropped.

NEW COUNTERFEIT.
A Dangerous Imitation Of $40
Bill.

The secret service is sending out warn
ings of the appearance of new $40 coun-
terfeIt, being what is known as the "Buf-
check letter. B: face plate No. 202; back
II. Roberts, treasurer.
Chief Wilkie gives the following de-
scrption of the note:
This is an excellent counterfeit. Photo
mechanical production, probably litho-
graphic. The number of the sample under
inspection is 31940946. Coloring of the
numbers Is darker than the genuine, but
the color of the seal and the large 'fX''
closely approXtmates the genuine. The
impression of the seal is the most defect
i've feature of the note, being muddy, and
the lettering in the inner circle being
badly broken. The red ink used in both
seal and numbering appears to lack adj
hesiveness, and for that reason the i'm
pressions are not clean and complete.
The cycloidal work in the panel under
the numbering left bottom of note, is bad
ly broken. there being no continuity to the
lines. The printed design on the face of
the note is fully one-sixteenth of an inch
shorter than the genuine, and slightly mar
rover.
I'm the portrait of Clark the stipple work
under the right eye and right side of fore
head Is omitted. The portrait of Lewis Is
muddy and lacks detail. The lathework Of
the note Is excellent. The color of the
back is lighter and is of yellowish green
tint.
The note is printed on a single piece OF
paper. and some bits of fiber have been at
tached 10 the surface of the note under
pressure. and in theNwhite panels on the
back OF the note, In addition to the scat
tered fiber on the surface, there are green
lines in imitation Of fiber printed on the
surface"
