LIQUOR VIOLATION
Edward Ionergan Had His Case
 Continued This Morning.

Officers James E. and Samuel 0. Walsh paid their respects to the sa- loon kept by Edward Lonergan on the corner of Kingsbury aud North Elm streets last Sunday, in consequence of which there are two cases pending against MT Lonergan in the city court. They were called this morning but on account of the absence of Li- quor Prosecuting Agent Hayes they were put over until his return. The officers, it is said, saw some on in the saloon pass two glasses of beer through an open window to parties on the outside last Sunday evening MT Lonergan is charged with dis pensing and selling.
 Daniel Bergin asked to be locked up yesterday. He considered he had been doing well lately and yesterday fell from grace, and being afraid of himself he sought refuge in the sta tion house. He was fined S5 and costs for intoxication.
 The police are not yet satisfied about the circumstances under which William Leonard is said to have walk ed off with a team and abused the horse so another adjournment was taken this morning.

WILLING TO RIDE.
Marshall Weighs 300 Pounds-Has
 Been Advised to Try Elephant.

Washington, Nov 19.-"Is it fair that the lack of horse should cost an officer his job?"
 This problem is giving Colonel William L. Marshall, U. s. A., chief of river and harbor work in New York, much concern. Colonel Mar shall weighs 300 pounds. Under the presidents order he must take the riding test" or go before a retiring board. When the order came the colonel sallied forth to find horse to carry him on the fifteen mile jaunt, taking with him a slender young man, one of his subalterns. The first liveryman approached jumped at the chance and glanced at the subaltern.
 ''I am the one who wants the horse" volunteered the colonel, shrinkingly, whereat the liveryman asserted that not for anything under the price of the horse would he hire him out for a fifteen mile gallop un- der the colonel, and even then he'd want an affidavit that the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals wouldn't prosecute him.
 The colonel retired discomfited. His experience with the other livery men in New York resulted in similar failure. The last man he tried whis- pered, What you need is an ele- phant."

CITY ADVERTISING
Do City Boards Approve Bills
 Not Authorized.

When the matter of city advertis- ing was being aired in the aldermanic chamber last night MT Nell said that when city advertisement appears in any paper all the rest copy it, send in their bills and get their pay. Sim liar remarks were made by other members of the board, all evidently offered in good faith. It is strange to those who know the facts why fif- teen bright men can be So easily mis- led about something that comes with in the scope of their duty. No paper prints city advertisement without authority, and in case it should try to do business on that plan and members of boards did their duty it wouldn't make the second attempt. Isn't 1t so that every bill, large or small sub" mitted to the boards for approval has to be indorsed by somebody, the may or, city clerk, comptroller or the head of one Of the departments? + not mo- body takes any notice of the bill, so that the law is all right but perhaps the boards have not been paying any attention to it. A newspaper would no more think of copying a city ad- vertisement without authority than it would of using an advertisement Of one of the merchants about town. But the aldermen claim that the papers have been getting money that they are not entitled to. We'll, then if that be so, the aldermen, many of whom are commissioners, ought to be ashamed to make the admission, for these bills would not have been paid if the commissioners who approved them had the courage of their convic- tions and refused to O K any bill not duly authorized.
