That the county will not accept the
proposition made to them by the city
council regarding the removal OF the
court house to quarters in the city hall.
was the decision of the county COM
missioners in session yesterday after
noon. and by a unanimous vote the
board decided that the county officials
will remain in their quarters.
Their decision came as surprise
to many who thought it almost certain
that the county offices would be NOV
ed to the city hall. Very little dis
cussion was indulged in, except that
the general sentiment expressed was
that the moving would cause unneces-
sary expense.
The proposition eliminated in an

Liverpool. Oct 1.-THE liner De
vonian, with voiturno survivors board
arrived here this afternoon. The Tran
ium company officials are preparing
10 urge an Investigation OF the burning
OF the Volturno on the theory that IL
was deliberately fired in fight to
force an Independent company out Of
business.
As yet information is lacking as to
how the fire originated. but IL is shown
that the fact that not more lives were
lost was due In the first place to fear
lcssness, and second in Capt. Barrs
idea of calling the Naragansett for oil.
There is some discrepancy in the
stories with regard TO the behavior OF
the crew, but It is significant that Of
the crew, numbering ninety-three, sev.
erty-eight are reported lost, while most
OF the officers remained aboard and
were eventually rescued.
I. S. Watson of Philadelphia. one Of
the passengers Of the Carmania, said
the chief credit for saving those on
board the volturno was undoubtedly
due to the oil ship Narragansett.
Only a few good swimmers. he de
clared, would have survived from tbs

when the Carmania arrived. Capt
Barr recognized at once that It would
be almost a hopeless task to attempt
to save the vulturno's human cargo
without the use of oil. but with a dar-
ing, amounting seemingly TO foolhard
mess, he instructed First Officer Gard
ner to lower small boat. This, after
terrible buffeting, returned to the Car
mania with only three oars intact

Barr did not again attempt to launcl

that he had aided Huerta in the lat

and Henry Morganthaq when they
asked the court for leave to amend the
impeachment articles and make peril.
asnt the testimony Of these two wit
nessos. A long argument followed
Monday, after a session OF an hour
and a half. virtually all Of which was
held IN secret. the court unexpectedly
adjourned until 1880 o'clock today to
permit further argument by counsel
relative to the testimony Of Allan A.
Ryan, Henry Morganthau and Duncan
w Peck. superintendent OF public
works.
The testimony had to do with alleg-
ed efforts Of Gov. sulzer to suppress
evidence against him and 10 obtain
political influence to stop the trial.
The cffenscs alleged in this connection
we're not specified in the articles OF
impeachment and upon the convening
OF court Monday, Judge Miller Of the
court OF appeals raised the question
as TO where they fitted in. Executive
session al once followed.
When the public was again admitted
It was announced by Presiding Judge
Cullen that the court had decided to
have counsel to argue as TO whether
the acts and conversations OF the gov
ernor. testified to by Peck, Morgan
thau and Ryan. "can be considered as
being acts of misconduct for which
the respondent can be convicted under
article 4, or only as corroborative evi-
dence OF the other allegations stated
in the charges. and whether the court
has the power TO amend the articles
u they are insufficient to include these
acts SO as to include them"
The testimony Of Sarecky. Morgan
tbau or Ryan was disputed by the de-
fense as contradictory evidence. and
for that reason is said to be considered
by some Of the members q the court
the strongest adduced in proof of his
unfiness to hold office. In view Of
the fact that each OF the eight articles
is to be voted on separately. it was
found that when the members of court
were ready to convene Monday there
was much doubt under which article
the testimony should be considered.
Il was said furthermore that some
OF the members felt that in the event
that the court should grant the. as yet
undecided motion to strike out arti
cies 1. , and 6. the money articles,
on the constitutional ground that they
dealt with offenses committed before
the governor took office, practically
little would be left Of tbs case.
They thought it was desirable. there
fore, they said, either to Strengthen
article 4 by including the Ryan-Mor
ganthau-Peck charges or to set then
apart as an additional artiele.
The opening Of court yesterday was
delayed more than half an hour OF
account OF a conference Of the nine
judges Of the court Of appeals. It wal
said that the Ryan-Morganthau-Pecl
tesamons' was the principal subjecs.o
their discussion.
