The court did not like to decide which one of the parties was most worthy of credence, and the case was continued until 10 o’clock next Monday for them to produce other evidence in the matter. discussion has been had the last few days over the action of the city council in ordering an ordinance drafted for a new brick street from Cnlien street to Division and thence north one block north of the depot. The general consensus of opinion is that the oity is in no financial condition at this time to make the improvement, and it is thought the matter will be pat over until next year.
