HE DIED IN CONVULSIONS EREST C STEADMAV5 DEATH PROBABLY DIE TO CIGARETTES. The Young JIan Wan Taken to the City Hospital, Where He Died Tbl Morning Ernest E. Steadman. twenty-four years old.' living at 91 South Senate avenue, die an agonizing death at the City Hospital at 1 o'clock this morning from what Is believfd to have been poisoning caused by the excessive use of cigarettes. He had been addicted to the use of cigarettes, smoking several boxes a day. until about three weeks ago. when he suffered an attack of convulsions, said to have been brought on by habitually smoking. The attack yesterday began with convul slons about 5 o'clock In the afternoon. while he was at the home of John McCor mlck. C14 East Duncan street. Steadman had been there all day. the family says. and complained at different times of a headache. At noon he became worse and lay on a bed all the afternoon. At 5 o'clock Jhe first symptoms of convulsions or serious Illness appeared. His eyes relied upward, his body trembled and cramped and he became unconscious. The family then became alarmed and sent to the Central Medical College for a doctor. His sister, with whom he lives, was also sent for. When she arrived another physician was summoned, and about S:.1 Steadman was removed to the City Hospital In the ambulance. His condition at that time was regarded as so serious that It was thought best to place him at once in the hospital, where he could be better treated. All the time he was being treated he did rot recover consciousness. He suffered greatly before he died. The coroner will hold an Inquest ovfr the bo.1v this n.ornlng and give a verdict as to the cause of death. Dallied "1th the Trolley Linea. The elctrlcal storm yesterday evening about 6 o'clock frightened many persona, but did no special damage. Twice the trolley wires of the street-ear company were overcharged, which caused the breakers at the power station to give way, and the current was shut off from the entire system each time for several minutes. The cars, during thee periods, crept slowly along, occasionally being lighted with a strong current and then thev would stop as the light disappeared. The breakers at the power-house allow a certain amount of electricity to go on the trolley lines and cables, and when the current is too heavy, they automatically trip and tho entire current Is hut off. The heavily charged atmofphcro yesterday evening cau-ed this oversupnly of electricity which was taken up by the trolley wires, and had the same effect as If a heavy charge had come from the power station.

UNION SURETY COMPANY

ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION SIBMI TT 13 II TO STATE AVDITOIt. When They Are Approved by the At torney General They Will Re Kiled with Secretary. Articles of incorporation of the Union Surety Company, of Indianapolis, were filed with the auditor cf state Ute yester day afternoon, as forecasted in the Journal last week. The -auditor will submit the document to the attorney general to-day for his approval, after which it will be placed on file In the office of tho secretary of state. The company was organized under the provisions of an act of the last Legislature, authorizing it to become sole surety upon bonds of a fiduciary, commercial and municipal character, possessing all the powers of foreign surety companies. The extraordinary financial strength of the men who are officers and directors of the new company has attracted great attention and excited deep Interest in commercial circles In Indiana and other States. The men who organized the company were fortunate enough to enlist the support and co-opera-tlon of Hugh Dougherty, president of the Studebaker Bank, of Bluffton. and one of the best-known financiers of the State. Mr. Dougherty is reported to have received a very flattering offer to become president of the Federal Surety Company, which is now being organized In Chicago, but preferred to ally himself with the Indiana company, believing it to be fully able to cope with any of Its xlvals. Mr. Dougherty Is president of the Union Company. The' other officers are: First vice president, ex-State Senator William A. Guthrie, of Dupont, a large dealer In lumber, director of the Union Trust Company, of Indianapolis, vice president of the Indiana Society for Savings, and interested In other large financial enterprises; second ' vice president, Henry C. Paul, a gas magnate, of Fort Wayne, president of the Fort Wayne Trust Company and manager of the Fort Wayne Gas Company, also at the head of a number of manufacturing establishments of that city; third vice president, Samuel E. Rauh, president of the Indianapolis Belt Railroad and Stockyards Company, interested In the Rauh Fertilizer Company, the Home Heating and Light Company and the 1'nlon Trust Company; treasurer, John F. Wild, of the bond and lrvestment banking house of John F. Wild ä Co., successors to Campbell. Wild & Co. Mr. Wild Is largely interested in a number of commercial enterprises of magnitude. The new surety company will have Its temporary offices In the suite now occupied by John F. Wild & Co., second floor of the SteveYison building. A secretary has not yet been chosen by the board of directors. Several prominent surety men are under consideration for the position. THE DIRECTORS. The directors Include. In addition to the officers named, the following well-known financiers: Col. I. C. Elstun, banker of Crawfordsvllle and director of the Union Trust Company, Indianapolis; Hugh J. McGowan, president of the Indianapolis Street-railway Company, the Cincinnati Traction Company and a number of equally large concerns; ex-State Senator T. H. Johnson, formerly of Dunkirk, now of the Johnson-Woodbrldge Company, wholesale dealers n glass, this city; Euüorus M. Johnson, city controller. Indianapolis; Fred M. Ayres. president of L. S. Ayres & Co., department store, Indianapolis; Frank L. Powell, president or the National Branch Bank of Madison; Joseph I. Irwin, prominent banker of Columbus, Ind., and president of the Indianapolis, Greenwood & Franklin Traction Company; Philip Matter, banker of Marlon and president of the Union Traction Company (the Anderson lnterurban electric road); John M. Shaw, manager of Klr.gan & Co.'a packing establishment. Indianapolis; William H. O'Brien, president of the Citizens National Bank of Iawrenceburg. Ind.; Robert A. Brown, clerk of the Indiana Supreme and Appellate courts; William J. Henley, associate judgo of the Indiana Appellate Court: Martin V. Belgger. of South Bend, president of the Mishawaka Woolen Mills Company; Charles N. Thompson, a well-known attorney or this city, member of the Indiana Senate and a director in the Marion Trust Company and. the Indianapolis Fire Insurance Company, and E. W. Moore, banker, of Cleveland, O. The ofilcers of the new surety company are Jubilant over having secured as a stockholder and member of the board of directors a man of such prominence and undoubted strength in the financial world of the country at large. Mr. Moore is one of the Moore-Everett syndicate, that has attained widespread fame of late through Its acquisition of large lnterurban electric roads centering in Celveland. Toledo and Detroit. Mr. Moore and Mr. Everett are directly or indirectly connected with a majority of the banks of Cleveland. Both men own stock In the new local surety company, but Mr. Moore Is the only member of the syndicate to occupy a position in the directorate. THE SURETY BUSINESS. One of the officers of the company talked interestingly of the aurety business In general last night. "Such companies ha been surprisingly successful in the East," he said, "and have extended their operatiens through the various States and Territories. It is said that a leading company has paid dividends of $1,600.000 and accumulated a net surplus of $2,000,000 since 1S81. The average profits of these companies, as shown by available reports, have been nearly 17 per cent. New York has four such companies and Baltimore three all of which are In flourishing condition There Is no surety company between u heeling and San Francisco, except the new Indianapolis company, the Federal of Chicago and the Bankers' of Bankers' Fidelity of Cleveland. The Union who have incorporated the Union believe that the great middle West, with its vast population and business interests, will support good home surety companies, and. while the Middle States are primarily the field of this company, yet there are about fifty States and Territories In which to carry on its operations. The way for doing this has been paved y ti e older companies through whose efforts legislation favorable to such companies has been enacted in the various States and Territories. "The surety business as conducted by corporations is comparatively In its infancy, the oldest concern of the kind In the United States being only seventeen years old. Yet the advantages of corporate suretyship are now well recognized and are more rapidly obtaining wide recognition, so that tne Union Surety Company has entered upon a field that is full of the richest pcsslbllttles." HEDGED IN BY LAW. A fact that adds to the solidity of the new company Is that the law under which It was organized prohibits It from investing in stocks or other securities of a speculative kind, as is allowed by the laws of many other States. The Indiana bonding and surety law provides expressly that companies In accordance with its provisions may make investments only In government State and municipal bonds, and In mortgagee on unincumbered real estate worth twice the amount loaned. "It thus becomes apparent." remarked an oTicer of the company, "that our capital must be invested in gilt-edged securities. It seems to me that the people of Indianapolis ougnt to be proud that such a company as this has been started here, particularly when the Idea has so long prevailed that such concerns can only be conducted properly in the East. I think the citizens or Indianapolis and of the State at large o: f.ht to rally loynlly to the support of the Cnlon Surety Company, and have no doubt they will." The capital of the new company, as stated previously In the Journal, Is $200,000. Ar rent of Kotiert Goldman, Detectives Holtz and Morgan returned yesterday from Muncie where they arrested Robert- Goldman for stealing W worth of rugs" from the firm of F. W. & F. E. Griggs, of this city. Goldman and another fellow arrived here from Washington. D. C. some time ago and went to the Griggs installment furnishing house in the Pembroke Arcade. Goldman was sent out on one of the wagons and when he was In the r.orthern part of the city took his allot-

n;ent of articles, which consisted cf rugs, and went into several of the houses nearby to sell them. He told the men In charge of the wagon that he would meet them at a certain corner and then failed to show up at the time or place. He was finally located in Muncie and arrested. IXOWER MISSION MEETING.

Resolutions Expressing (irntitnde to Inknotrn Honor of $3,000. At a meeting of the Flower Mission yesterday morning at Plymouth Church a communication dated June 10, ir01, and forwarded on June 12 to Mrs. John L. Griffiths for presentation to the society was read. The offer of &.000 to aid the Flower Mission in establishing a home for persons believed to be incurably sick was accepted and after many expressions of gratitude the following resolutions were adopted unanimously by rising vote: "Resolved. That the Flower Mission expresses its sincere.4 gratitude to the donor for the noble gift of $3.000 to form a part of a fund of at least JlO.ooo for the founding of a hospital for the reception, care and treatment of persons believed to be suffering from incurable diseases and that it accepts said offer subject to all the conditions and stipulations contained therein as to the manner in which the fund is to be used and agrees to suitably furnish and equip the said hospital or home and will endeavor to maintain and superintend the same for such period as may be deemed advisable and to use for the maintenance thereof such proportion of Its funds from time to time arising, and which in its judgment can be profitably and wisely so used. "Resolved further, That the Flower Mission will at once proceed to secure the additional $5,t"o) which by the terms of said offer must be obtained not later than Nov. 1, 1001. A committee was appointed to arrange plans for securing, the additional J5.000. In the midst of the suffering It Is the constant duty of the Flower Mission visitor to seek and relieve. It is an inspiration to know that there Is one who appreciates with the members of the society the necessity for a home for the Incurable sick poor and who is willing to aid them In obtaining it. The gift is appreciated now. But as time goes on and tho public grows more attentive to the voice of the suffering and more tully informed In regard to the city's need of protection against disease the gratitude which you do not seek will be tound In the hearts of all. It Is with a mingled feeling of regret and admiration that the Flower Mission expresses its gratitude to an unknown doner. Regret that one remains unknown who means so much to the Flower Mission and to the city, and admiration for one who in what is called a self-advertising age, 13 still self-effacing." The resolutions were signed by Mrs. John L. Griffiths, chairman; Mrs. Arthur B. Orover. Mrs. Victor Hendricks, Mrs. B. F. Goodhart, Tiss Julia Moore. PROSPERITY IS SHOWN INTEREST IN HORSE AND CATTLE SALES AT STOCKYARDS. Sucres of the Cnllle snle of the Pnst IVeek Illwh PHeen for AnlmnlM. Anybodj that is anxious to have an audience with General Prosperity can find him almost every day at the stockyards, where he seems to have established a permanent branch. A high officlil at the Union yards says that this Is one of the best years In their history. "All classes of live stock are commanding good prices," he said, "and cattle in particular are high on account of the great demand for meat that exists In all parts of this country and in Europe as veil. These Is a strong, steady eonsump tlon the country over. And I am glad lo say that there Is an excellent prospect of this condition keeping up for some time to come. More cattle are being fed around In the country at this time and the Texas and Southwestern cattle are beginning to come In. Of course, these are kept In separate pens, entirely away from the other cattle, on account of the quarantine regulations." Col. David Wallace, manager of the Indianapolis Combination Cattle Sale Com pany, has every reason to be satisfied with his past week's business. At Wednesday's sale forty-three head of Shorthorns and double-standard polled Durhams realized the neat sum of $13.1 hi. One lot of sixteen polled Durham cows sold at an average price of $4-1.25 a head. Fletcher Hlnes bought a young polled Durham heifer not a year old for which he paid $;oo. j. h. Miller, of Peru, Ind., took a heifer only about nine months old for $750. These cat tle were brought to the yards by C. K. Mc Lane, of Danville. Ind. The announcement of a sale of so many registered cattle at tracted an unusually large number of stockmen. Buyers were present from Uli nois. Ohio, Kentucky and as far west as lowa. BIG DEMAND FOR MEAT. "The high prices we have been getting for cattle at our auction sales." said Colonel Wallace, "are due to the extraordinary de mand for meat made upon the United States from abroad. These combination sales that we conduct afford a medium. by which the breeder and the buyer can get together at some convenient snot where the buyer can see the cattle all together and the breeder can get his money in a lump sum." The cattle sale of Wednesday was the nun mat i oionei Wallace s company has held since the 4th of last February. An important event that has lust been an nounced is the inaugural swine breeders' sale Oct. 22. 23 and 24. to lv conducted by the combination cattle sale company. Entrios for this sale have been and will be Invited from breeders of Berkshire. Poland China and Duroc-Jersey hogs. Colonel Wallace expects this to be the greatest sale of the kind ever held in the central States. A great combination sale of cattle Is reheduled to take place Nov. 12. 13 and H. For this sale entries are Invited from bleeders of Shorthorns, Hereford and Aber-dten-Angus cattle. The November sale will bo made exceptionally interesting and attractive by an exhibition of fat cattle. A herd of fat steers that will be displayed at the Pittsburg Stockyards In competition. Nov. 13-22, will stop off at the Indianapolis yards en route to Pittsburg and be shown In the commodious stables of the combination sale company during the three days of its special saje Colonel Wallace said that this event 'ought to attract an unprecedented attendance of buyers and speof ators. Colonel Wallace Is president of the Indiana Horse and Mule Company, which has practically been succeeded by the combination cattle rale company. He said recently that the men Interested in thi former company have decided to go out of the horse and mule business and devote their entire time and attention to the development of combination sales of cattle, hogs and sheep registered stock for breeding purposes. SALE OF HORSES. The Blair-Baker Horse Company did a lively business this week. At the Wednesday sale 200 horses, received In twenty-twj shipments, were sold at prices that averaged about $110 per head, which Mr. W. B. Blair said Is a fine average. "Three year3 ago we used to sell horses at an average of to $70 a head." he said. "There Is a great demand for horses at this time and the supply is limited. Several years ago the market became overstocked and then there was a cessation of activity In breedlrg. We used to pay more attention to the buyer than we did to the man that had horses to sell. But now It Is the other way. We look after the man that has the nnlmals to sell and pay very little attention to the buyer. There are plenty of buyers when we can get the stock to put up at auction. Coach horses, especially, command high prices in this country, and this makes their exportation light, for exporters cannot make much money on them." Mr. Blair said that the excellent state of the horse market Just now is surprising, since this Is the time of the year for the dull season. "But we have as rood a market as can be found anywhere in the country." be salJ. "and we draw from a larger territory than formerly. Our fall trade bids fair to be unusually large. We expect to handle a great many Western horses in the near future. I myself shall start West next Tuesday for the purpose of buying three or four hundred head of horses. When these animals arrive they will be put up at auction in our stables at the stockyards. This Is n new feature in the Indianapolis market, there never having been but one previous sale of the kind. That was last fall."

WAR ON BEER GARDENS CAPT. HITTER SAYS FAIR BANK AND KISSEL'S WILL LOSE IX THE E.D. Declares: It "Would Re Tnlillc Economy If City Would Provide Concerts tn Parks. There has been a change In the tactics of the persons that have been making a fight on Fair Bank and Kissel's garden for the last f-everal years. Five persons that live near Fair Bank and that brought suits against William Tron and the Terre Haute Brewing Company for an injunction restraining them from maintaining the gar- ( den, and for So.OoO damages each on account of alleged depreciation of property, hare compromised their cases. However, there Is left one suit against Tron and th3 Terre Haute Brewing Company that covers the ground on which the enemies of Fair Bank are combating-. It is the suit brought by ZImri C. Lewis, which was tried at Lebanon, and resulted in a judgment and an injunction against Fair Bank, and which was appealed to the Supremo Court by the defendants. Ell F. Bitter, who is the attorney for tho plaintiffs in these cases, and who is recognized as the most prominent leader in the local antl-liquor crusade, was asked yesterday afternoon If his force3 had decided to leave their Interests with the Supreme Court, believing that when tho decision comf s it will be si victory for them. "1 am not at liberty to talk of the matter now." he replied. "Neither may 1 reply to your question as to how much the plaintiffs in the compromised casts got lrom Tron and the brewing company." "You have not given up the tight V" "By no means. YVc are ?nire to win In the end. The owners of Fair Bank arc violating the hw, and it is a certainty that the day will come when they must üc-eept the confluences of criminality." "Do you know that the injunction is being violated at Fair Bank?" "I cannot talk of our evidence, but most citizens know that liquor is being sold outfide of the birroom at Fairbank and that there is an orchestra there. It is a point of Interest that the Nicholson law says there shall be no music In a saloon, it docs not say 'a musical instrument.' Everyone knows that the music of the i air Bink orchestra penetrates the barroom." "What is the status of the fight on Kissl?" "Kissel got out of the Injunction against his place by declaring that the property does not belong to him. but to his wife. New suits have been filed, making both Kissel and his wife defendants. They have obtained changes of venue in two of these cases one to Shelby county and one to Morgan county. The suits will be fought cut in those courts." ATTITUDE OF THE PUBLIC. "I am in this matter," Captain Ritter continued, "only because I hope to see a better condition of affairs here. As an attorney I have been alone so fir, but other attorneys soon will enter the fight, and I believe the time Is near at hand when the people of the city will rise up and kriock out many of the saloons. Twentylive men with money could clear away half the saloons In town. The saloons are open at nights and on Sunday. The law oihcers take no action because the public does not demand it. The only profitable plan of crusade is to file civil suits. They will do the work as well ns criminal suits. "It does seem that many of the people sympathize with the liquor sellers because they do not take nn active part against them, but the truth is that the majority of the public Is against the saloons in spirit, but is apathetic when it comes to action. If many of the persons that express sympathy for Fair Bank and Kissel's gardens had those places near their homes they would tight them. Their sympathy Is really only sentimentality. "I have tried to avoid it. but people, both women and men, constantly call on me here at my office to tell me stories of distress caused by the saloons of tho city. They come from all parts of town and with many different stories. If one could array against the saloons the people In the poorest and most liquor-ridden wards of the city that In their hearts hate the saloons and suffer from them, the saloons would be wiped out of those wards. The antlliquor spirit is here, but It Is impossible now to crystallize It Into action. "The Germans of the city are against the saloons. Most of them drink beer in their own homes, but they know the evil of the saloon institution. When we have circulated petitions against the saloons in different parts of the city as many Germans as Americans have signed them, and many times the majority of the names on the petition have been German. FREE MUSIC FOR PUBLIC. "There is another phase of the problem that must have consideration. In this city there are few places for the young men to amuse themselves during their leisure hours. There is little entertainment at the parks. One cannot expect a young man to stand alone on a corner. He soes the lights at Fair Bank and Kissel's and hears the music and he goes In to be entertained. Men and women go to Fair Bank and never take, a drink. Fair Hank is a beautiful place. The city ought to provide music In the parks over the city. When the band concerts were given In the parks great crowds attended them. , If the public would provide free music the cost of action in the Criminal Court would be reduced below the cost of music. It would be public economy. Crimes almost always originate in the saloons. It costs the county from f-ion to 11,000 to prosecute a man for murder. The public must provide a substitute for the saloons and for uch places as Fair Bank and Kissel's Garden. "In the trial at Lebanon I forebore from Introducing the sensational evidence that I had. I had lots of It, but in introducing It I would have had to give to the public the names of persons that would have suffered needlessly: some of them would have been ruined. The very attractiveness of Fair Bank is Its greatest evil, because, it is there that ruin ßtarts. There is no rightful place in the social organization for such a place as Fair Bank."

OLDEST CIRCUS MAN HERE COL. C. T. SIVALLS VHiOItOlS, ALTHOUGH PAST SEVEXTY. He Recalls the Dnys of the Wagon Shown An InterentlnB Experience in Australia. Col. C. T. Sivalls, who enjoys the distinction of being the oldest circus agent in the country, is at the Bates. Col. Sivalls is traffic manager for the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers shows (.combined), which will be here next month. "I can't give the date of our appearance In Indianapolis," eaid the colonel last night, "because it would hardly be business-like to give our route so far ahead." Col. Sivalls has been in the circus business for forty years, and is now past seventy. He is hale and hearty, though, and has a ruddy complexion and a fctrong, hearty laugh. "I am an old man now," he said last night, "and I'm tired out. I want to settle down in my old age and rest." Col. Sivalls went- into the circus business way back in the fifties before the railroad circus was dreamed of. He began the business with the Van Arnberg circus and menagerie, one of the old-time shows. By way of contrasting the business those days with the presnet, Col. Sivalls said last night that when he was agent for the Van Arnberg circus he used to travel ahead of the show in a buggy. Usually there were three men ahead of the show himself and two billposters. "Now," said he, "there are seventy people ahead of the combined shows I represent." "People will always go to a circus," con tinued the colonel In a reminiscent wav4 "and I suppose the sawdust ring will never grow old. For myself I liked the old-fashioned circus with its one little ring, better than the new-fangled three ringed-circus of to-day. I have often sat down and thought about this business, and I've made up my mind that it is to the little children that the successful circus owes Its success. The children are the best advertisers we have. Who- can resist the appeal of the little one to take It to see the elephants and the lions and the horses." NEVER IX A WRECK. "In all my career as a circus agent," continued the colonel, "I have never been in a railroad wreck or a shipwreck. I think the most serious trouble I was ever involved in was with an English veterinarian in 11, hen I went to Australia with the Sells Brothers show. After paying $15,000 to the ship company to have the show taken over from San Francisco, we had to give our performance in Sidney without horses. As soon as we landed an English veterinarian discovered that our horses had glanders and they took them away from us. They were not going to let us give a performance until the Sells Brothers, through the fact that they were Masons, got an interview with the Governor General. 1 shall never forget the first performance we gave without horses. When It was time for It to begin we gave, a sort of a parade around the ring. It was a piteous spectacle and It made my eyes fill with tears. The men drew the animal cages around the ring with the aid of the elephants pushing them. The women In their gay spangles walked. An alderman in Sidney, who kept the hotel whero we stopped, got up and made a speech for us and being a very popular man. the people listened to him and forgave us. We gave several performance without horses, but finally Rot an outfit and showed the season through." The combined Forepaugh and Sells Brothers shows are owned by four proprietors. Thev are James A. Bailey, two of the Sells Brothers, and W. W. Cole. Mr. Bailey is in England with the original Ilarnum At Bailey show, which is now owned by a stock company. COMPLAINTS MADE. Double Prices Charged for HanllnK MKlit Soil City Affairs. Numerous complaints are being made to the Board of Health about prices which are being charged for the hauling of night soil. A few weeks ago an ordinance was passed by the City Council requiring all night soli to be taken away In the nighttime, but no attempt has been made by the city authorities to enforce it. The owners of nipht-soll wagons, however, have taken advantage of the ordinance to make their patrons pay double the amount that was charged before tinordinance was passed. They maintain that It is only possible to haul one load in the night time, whereas they could have hauled two in the daytime, and consequently they should have double pay. An ordinance seeking the repeal of the ordinance passed a few week ago has been Introduced In the Council and the Board of Health will

In yesterday's issue of Rough Note, tht local insurance Journal, the action of the city in constructing a frail building in tht rear of fire headquarters for the housing of the new Gamewell fire alarm system ii sharply criticised. After mentioning thai the building will contain worth ol the latest Improved electrical apparatui Rough Notes says: "The structure would make a good barn and be handy, ton. for the haymow of the engine house, which opens up on a level with the second story. Th floors are of the ordinary wooden stringer type, with the stringers set on ede. thus far no attempt at even slow-burnlnc construction being made. Nor Is the internal hazard the worst, for at an arm's reach to the south of the building are the frame walls of a paint ar.d oil factory which Is an old, rambling structure and Is literally saturated with Inflammable oils. It la recognlaed by the firem-n as one of the worst fire traps In the city and one In which a fire could quickly get beyond control. With these -physical hazards it is only a. question of time before the city finds itself with practically no fire protection for several days and may be weeks. What would then happen to tire insurance rats would teach the folly of falf-e economy." "Work Hoard Threatened. Although yesterday was an "eff" day for a meeting of the Board of Works. President Sahm and Mr. Magulre were busily engaged all of the afternoon in assorting and tying up all of the loose papers which completely tilled the drawers of th lr desks. In explanation of their zeal Mr. Sahm said that the board had received a communication indicating that their time on this earth would be very short, and be thought It tist to leave everything In order for their successors. With sreat t-ohmnlty he then produced a soiled postal card, on which the following was boldly Indited: , "To the Board of Works I have lost two propertys by your damned foolishness and am now on r. lot with 2 room- Ar If you ko &put a sewrr in Harding ht Ä. tax me again I will promise you that you will not eee It finished.

The Board of Works yesterday ordered the clerk to again advertise fur bids on the wooden block raveniert fr New York street. Chairman 8hm said yesterday that the board would continue to rejret ail bids on the pavement until they came withlr reason.
