Corpait, is suffering from a damaged head

pait. who was passing, remarked that it
was a mistake for Note to attempt to
sing anything More words ended in a
fight. Both singers are fairly corpulent,
but Note, who Is fifty years DID, got the
better of Corpait, whose years number
only twenty-eight, and he was humping
the back of the latter's head on the stones
of the courtyard Of the opera when Mes

livious to his real identity, although he
has papers to show he has relatives of in
fluence and property in his own right In
England, John NJ. Coates was today COM
mitted to the Newburg Insane Asylum by
Judge Harden of the probate court.
Coates was taken from a Euclf1 avenue
rooming house last night, in which he re-
sided, apparently suffering from demen-
tia.
He is supposed to be an eccentric globe
trotter with plenty Of money to indulge
his tastes. Bank books, money orders
and property statements scattered about
his rooms bear testimony to his financial
circumstances.
Deeds to more than 100000 worth Of
property were found scattered about his
apartments. A $50 order on the Bank of
England had been thrown into a coal
scuttle. Among the letters found was one
from William Fry & Son. solicitors Of
Dublin. Ireland, referring to the manage
ment of an estate.

The offer of the Warren people, the Greene management and other parties, however pen did their intentions, 10 donate land for the purposes of a poor farm, is eminently un- | available for the reason that it would cost the taxpayer an immense sum to fit up and habilitate the premises after the hungry lanG had been ac | quired.

Guarding Against Im-
 position on Supervisors

Yesterday we waited on the session of the board of supervisors, tho SC watch dogs of the peoples interests. We observed Supervisor Rowan in specting a cat hide with a reading glass. We did not understand why all this special care and discernment WAS necessary iu connection with e plain cat hide bu: we found out later The supervisors know whs, they are doing. They are guarding the tax payer, they are protecting our fire sides, they are there to see that every cent the tax payer coughs up is ap- piled to some legitimate purpose John wasn't making a microscopic inspection of that cat hi.e for noth. ing. He wasn't l oking for colony of outlawed feas vith a vie " to vol unteering public relief for them, bu he had discovered that some unscru. pulous individual, inspired of the devi and without the lear Of the Lord il his heart had been raising batch O piethoric brindle cats in the suburbs cutting their tails of. skinning them sending them into the board of super visors and collecting five dollars a piec, for them as boocats from the Huach ]. cas.
 The county may be out some money on this nefsrious scheme but tht thanks of the community zoe. to tht board for discovering the conspiracy l before the county went bankrupt.
 Mayor Wentworth who, it is we'll known always has happy batch of cats around his elixir emporium on Allen street, is suspected by his friends but the mayor denies being particeps criminis to the transaction and stren uously defends his pet cats and vertl- table refuge for friendless domes,i. cated Tombstone felines.

The board of supervisors were obliged to call for new bids for con- struction of the detention hospital { Douglas, the original notice being re- garded defective in not stating the amount of appropriation allowed by the county. The plans call for build ing half of which Is to be paid by Dug glas and the remainder by the county The proportion set by the county is not to exceed 5000 and rather than involve the county in any possible future entangiements the call was re- advertised and bids will be opened on May 9th. The board occupied much oi their time today auditing the quar- terly accounts and fec bills.
 Further consideration the poor farm mstterwss had in modified pre- position offered 10 the Fisher place on the river, including buildings, etc, for sl5,OOO.

Justice Courts Costs
 County Nearly $60,000

The pills of the various justices of the peace were sllose by the board of supervisors, some slight reduction be- ing made in the constahle's bills. The bills for the administration of the jus tice courts Of Bisbee and Lowell, out side of the salary of the iailors and the feeding of the prisoners amounted to B, ,360 .55; Douglas, $l ,296.20; Pir- tlev;lIe, S776. i5; Naco, $S66.l5.
 The expenses of the maintainance ci the justice courts of last year was nearly S60,OO0 and from the present appearance the amount the tax payers will be compelled to pay this year will considerably exceed that.
