HYBARGER'S HIERONYMUS.

THE exrsr is ALL AGOO OVER THE AEBIAIi TRICK.

A. Question of Eeaality favolted-The Terrc Haate Ball Clnb Organla* taf-Other Loral 'ews.

The law governing the purchase of sopplies for the public service of the city provides that in every instancdWfte city clerk must advertise ten daapffor bids and the purchase then made through contract.

It also provides, however, that in

cases of emergency this may be waived but in such instanses the emergency must have been previously declared at a meeting of the council. In all the purchaser of fire apparatus and supplies Jot the past four years there has been but one instance in which the law has been fulfilled and that was in the purchase of the first hose wagon, the construction of which after bids were duly

fetickte. That precident has never been followel up and a $350 extension ladder an aerial truck subsequently changed for the chemical engine, five hose wagons, about 20,000 feet of hose and now a Babcock aerial truck, have all been purchased in direct violation of law. In no instance on recorti has any emergency ever been declared, in the expenditure of all this public money which relieves the management of the fire department from the onus of having openly and wilfully violated the law. ... ,,

E. G. Phalan, the agent for the h. B. Preston Fire Implement and Supply Company at Chicago, called at THEKKWS office to refute some statements that Sam Hybarger bad made at the council meeting. He says that Hybarger referred to irresponsible companies and concerns and that the city should only patronise responsible parties, etc., and,that it was meant for a slur at the Preston company, that the Central Trust Company will back the Preston company in "any deal tho latter may undertake and that the company which he represents can give bond anv sum to guarantee the satisfaction of their goods. He thinks that the Preston company should be given a show to bid on the icrial truck and that they tiave already offered a truck superior to the Babcock truck for $500 less than Hybarger wants to pay for the latter.

He further says that the Preston com

pany

and all other fire implementcompanies very frequently pay &200 »«d *300 and sometimes as high as $*00 to junketing committees to secure the sale of a truck or other apparatus and that if .ft like sum has been paid to Hybarger for the selection of the Babcock truck the money ran be sayed for the city by allowing the Pteston Company and others to bid for the contract. The matter as it now stands is in dim* violation of the law, and if the Babcock Com panv sends their truck here, in the opioKJuof lawyfit^ tbe iity is not liable for the payment. The law states specifically that bids M^t be advertised for except in emergency cases. No emergency existe in this case and none has been declared. No advertisement has appeared for bids and the contract for furnishing the truck has no. only been let without an effort to secure a lower bid but in the face of a bid $ j00 lower thau was contracted for. itie whole transaction is therefore illegal and the contract with the Babcock Company invalid.

An Attractive Picture. A^* At an early hour yesterday morning tlie moon presented an unusual and attractive appearance, her face being clouded almost to total eclipse and the cloudy veil being penetrated by several distinct darts or pencils of soft mellow light that seemed to pierce the lnnarsnrface through and through and extending on either side of the moon at right angles with each other. The effect was beautiful, and to those who were fortunate enough to witness the strange vision it presented a subject for a little study.

The Coblelgh Factory. formation recently received by Superintendant P. C. Kiute from Mr. Cobleigh at Leominster is to the effect that the latter has closed a contract with the Greencaatle Stone and Lime Company for 1,000,000 brick to be used in the erection of the piano case factory at this point. The original intention to construct the foundation walisof the factory from brick has been changed and stone has been substituted as being more durable. The Greencastle Company will alto furnish the stone.

deneral Sheridan"1# Children. Of General Sheridan's children aWash ingtoa correspondent writes: All three are pupils of the Convent of Visitation, on Connecticut avenue. They are day scholars, living in retirement with their mother in their plain, quiet home on Rhode Inland avenue. Mary, the eldest, is about fourteen, and resembles her father, both in face and figure. The twhis, Louise and

Irene,

are twelve yearn

old and look verj? much like Mm. Sheridan. Thev are dressed in plain black frocks and coats so exactly alike that their best friends cannot tell them apart. They wear their brown hair in a derailength that admits of neither plait »r cur!. They have the pretty convent-bred manner of paying instant attention when KiKjken to, and are aa serious aa little nans. But there is a naive originality about them that is charming.

Vision of the He*nrreetlon. A student is BaU'S college, whose father is an undertaker, tells a good story. A near neighbor's house caught on fire one night, and the undertaker's storehouse was in so much danger that it was deemed sdviwablo to remove tbe hearse, coffins and other stock. A farmer, who arrived upon the scene of action just as this plan was being carried into execution, paid he thought the day of judgment bw surely come, for there was tbe fire, and everyone was running about with a coffin under his arm,—-Lewiiitou Journal.

The case of Rush vs. the Coal Bluff MinDug Company was called ior trial this&Jlfe morning in the Circuit court, Leslie Thomas and McNntt & McNutt appearing

for the company and Samuel Hamili and^v^.* Foley & Foley for the plaintiff, who sues ^4$the defendants to recover $10,000 for **, ^r daniagi 8 received while employed at their mines at Coal Bluff. Patrick Rush, tbe i!!? plaintiff, alleges that in October, 188$, while an employee of tho Coal Bluff Mining Company was sent down into a shaft to perform certain labor and that he was not familiar with the mi no. "1* He was lowered in the cage and I

on reaching tlie bottom started in the wrong direction and stepped under mmthnfiiBBDfl Tlrt was descending rapidly. He was knock* dowii, his legs an ribs were crushed he sustained severe internal injuries which he can never fully recover, which will incapacitate hi ni from man mil labor for the baiance of his life, which in brief he charges to the negligence of the company in uot having proper safeguards in tlie shafts. It will be remembered that this case attracted considerable interest at the time of its ocearencet by reason of the terrible injuries received by the miner and his marvelous escape from death. A large number of witnesses

were on hand this morning, including miners and several citizens of Fontanet and Terre Haute.

Upon the opening of court this afternoon Dr. F. W. Shaley, who was one of the phvsicians who treated Rush, testified as to the character of his injuries.

James Johnson, the fojpraan employed-f by the company, described the openings at the bottom of tho shaft the system of working and the means for preventing. accidents, which worn such as are gen-| erally employed in mines in this district.'

Considerable delay was caused this morning by tbe discovering that the amended form of the original complaint had disappeared and the attorneys for? the defendants argued to try the case on its merits without the complaint. The udge had held the amended complaint go*xi and after a general and systematic search the missing document was found and the case went to trial.

The case is one which it is said will: create considerable interest among min-g era hereabout, as involving, probably, ing course of the trial the question as to what .ys means, if any, for the preservation of lite are employed generally by tho mine ,/. itr

operators in tbe mining district. .j, Before the. Mayor.
