mediately sneaked off, left them to pay for their suppers and returned home without a word of thanks. Next.

O TJR DUM, POLICE FORCE. Last Tuesday night two police pay rolls were presented to the council for action. The first was prepared by the city police board and allowed all the men full time for March, except Rogers, resigned, and Hylaud and Pierce, appointed to captaincies by the metropolitan board. The other was made out by Chief Meagher it allowed Supt. Davis for the time he served, and all the other men. It also had on it the names of Meagher as chief, Hyland and Pierce as captains, and Dwyer as property clerk and detective. The roll offered by the old board was approved and ordered paid, whereupon Mr. Storz offered the following: To the Mayor and Common Council:

Whereas, The metropolitan police law is now a law and, Whereas, Litigation Is now pending to determine its validity and,

Whereas, On the 14th day of March, 1891, under said law, Cornelius Meagher was appointed superintendent of the police, and R» P. Davis surrendered the office to him, and since said date has performed no duties on the police force and, whereas, Bald Cornelius perintendent, and Charles James H. Pierce as captains, and wm. E. Dwyer as property clerk and detective, accepted their lespective offices In good faith and,

Meagher as 8uE. Hyland and

Whereas The said officers have well performed their respective duties and, Whereas, It is the sense of the council that officers and patrolmen who are performing their duties in good faith should be paid therefore, be it

Resolved, By the common council, that the said Officers Meagher, Hyland, Pierce and Dwyer be paid for the services they have performed since tho 14th day of March, 1891.

The resolution was seconded by Mr. Weldele and was defeated, Storz and Weidele being the only members who voted for it.

It was rumored on Wednesday that an attteinpt would be made to enjoin the city treasurer from paying the warrant issued to Davis, but such did not prove to be the case, and matters are moving along as they did before". If the metropolitan force stays the city will be out Davis'salary, and if the city wins the metropolitans, or its officers, will be out their salaries, aud likewise out of a job.
