About 1852 Moses K Sanborn of this city,
an older brother Of Eben M. and Percy A.
Sanborn, went to California and never re-
turned to his native place. He married
there and on his death was survived by his
wife and four children, daughter and
three sons. The daughter is married and
lives in San Francisco, and a few years ago,
through the SanbOrn geneaology, she OBJ
tanned the address of Eben Sanborn and
wrote him. The youngest son, whose home
is in Pasadena, California, came to Phila-
delphia recently for medical advice for his
wife, and he concluded to come east and see
his relatives. They arrived here Wednes
day evening, Dec 10Th. resident of Cali
fornia, and for seven years in Japan, he had
never seen snow except upon the mountain
tops and although there was slight furry
in Chicago and traces on Boston common
his first experience of the real thing was in
Burnham and his first sleigh ride was from
the station to the home of his uncle Eben.
He has since enjoyed sleighing and does not
complain of the cold.

This committee recommended that the evil
dence be referred to the district attorney
and that five aldermen, one of whom was
Mr.. Black, resign. The latter at once intro
duced an order providing for committee
of three to investigate the investigating
committee. The order passed the board, but
no meetings of the committee have been
held. Monday evening Alderman Black in
troduced an order appropriating $500 for
the expenses of this committee and it was
passed to a second reading and referred to
the finance committee. The Boston Globe
quotes Mr., Black as follows
"I'm not ashamed of anything that | have
done as member of the board of aldermen
and stand ready and willing to have my
every act and vote given the most careful
scrutiny. l wish the chairman of the COM
mttee was here tonight in order that
might ask him few questions.
'In that investigation we were condemn
ed without hearing and now l propose II
possible to see that the committees actions
are looked into"
