 A representative of the successful bidder wanted to know if the bonds could be made out for 4 per cent, and if so his company was prepared to pay s1,005.S5 for each $1,OOO and accrued interest. City Attorney Kellogg replied that the order men, toned in the advertisement had to be followed, to do otherwise would necessitate the rejection of all bids, a call for more and a delay of sev- eral weeks, and then the money market might not be any more ia vorable at that time than 1t is at present.
 The aldermen present included Chairman Scully, Aldermen Galla- gher, Hurley, Malone, Fine, Hayes, Lawlor, Fitzsimons, Walker, Mackie and Sellew.

AGAINST ADMINISTRATION.
Mrs Catherine Rick Sues For Moth
 CTS Estate.

What promises to be an interesting suit has been begun by Burpee and Cermody, representing Mrs Catherine Rick against Joseph Corr, as admin istrator upon the estate of her mother, Julia Conner, who died re- gently in Bridgeport. Had Mrs Con ner left q will, 1t is probable there would have been no suit.
 The plaintiff is an only child, but not the only heir to the estate, and on that ground she claims the entire estate. This Is said to consist of cash in bank amounting to about sI.6O0 and life insurance policy of $500. She is already in possession of the proceeds of the policy. and on that account the estate has made a counter claim against her for the full amount of the policy.
 On the other hand too. Mrs Rick put in claim for $T66 for caring for her mother during her last illness. and to the administrator. represent ei by Attorney Lynch. sets up that she cannot he paid for such services. as they were nothing more than fiIial duty. unless there was an agreement between her and her mother that she should he paid.

$50 ]; { AND COSTS
For Keeping Open Ills Saloon
 on Sunday.

Burglary was the defense in case against George Zenocke, saloon
 keeper at 24 South Riverside street
 for keeping open his saloon at 5 o'clock last Sunday evening and one against Clemens Buders for being on the premises.
 Officers Callahan and Fitzgerald stated they were passing near the place and heard a noise inside. The interior of the saloon was dark, but snow had recently fallen, and they traced the gentle footsteps of the thirsty around to the back door. One officer saw the owner crouching be- hind the bar, and Buders was stand ing near. The officer asked Buders if he was the bartender and the owner spoke to him in his own language, whereupon Buders said he was. There was not one else in the saloon and there was no evidence of business be- ing recently trasacted. The defense, which was conducted by Attorney Guilfoile, was certainly original. The accused stated they had but just entered the saloon and found the back door open. One of them was about to light match when in came the cope. When they lighted lamp they found that six bottles of whiskey had been taken, along with sixty-four boxes of cigarettes, a book in which the brewing company keeps track of its goods left in the saloon, and a few things behind the bar had been disturbed. Evidently burglary had been committed, and if tie accused had not been taken by surprise on finding the back door open, they would have lighted up the place.
 This remarkable story was desig- hated fiction by the court, and he ad- ded that as one grows older, fiction does not become more attractive or less easy to believe. He imposed fine of $50 and costs . An appeal was taken. In the case against Buders 1t was shown he was the bartender and sentence was suspended.
