Several scores of people have visited the county clerk's office within the past sixty days and gone nway growling , not ut Mr. O'Malley or anybody nor anything connected with his office , however. The -people who have done this growling were those who had served us coroner's Jurors or witnesses on the coroner's inquests. The cause of the prowl is the fact that the county board within the time specified has called a halt in the pay ment of fees to both of the parties Interested. When the coroner filed the February bills for such fees the latter were referred , as usual , to the finance committee. Tbo chair man of this committee took occasion to con sult the statutes for authority to pay these bills , and found that no puch authority existed , The committee then decided informally to get an opinion from County Attorney Mahoney on the matter and the thing has been running along in Just this situation. Speaking on the subject , Mr. Maboney "Tho matter has never been presented tome mo formally cither by the board or the finance committee. The statute makes no expressed provision in the case , but does say that if coroners' jurors or witnesses fall to attend in response to a summons they can be attached for contempt and dealt with ac cordingly. Tlie fiict that n man can be at tached for contempt In case he fails to obey the bidding of the coroner is , I firmly believe , showing sufficient that ho should bo compen sated for the time he spends in obylug the summons served upon him , though I am satis fied thut ho could not recover In an action against the county , for the very reason that there is no statute on which ho could base his action. "My idea , then , of the matter is that the omission of n statute clause to pay these fees is merely a legislative oversight"Vhcn \ the commissioners shall ask for my formal opinion iu the mutter , I shall certainly s > ay that I think they can go ahead nnd pay all such bills Just as the board has done in the past. "Almost every other state prob ably all other states have a pro vision in their statutes for compen sating coroner's Jurors and witnesses , and I have not the slightest doubt but that our next legislature will supply the ornis sion. " Commissioner Berlin said that it had been the intention of the committee on finance to get Mr. Mahony's opinion BOOH after the bills come. The matter would , however , bo at tended to immediately. Mr. O'Keeffe said ho thought that payment of the bills would be resumed upon receipt of the county attorney's opinion. The board has declined to pay the coroner's bill of fi'lTi for ten post-uiortein examinations during March by Dr. McMunlgal , on the ground that when one physician gets nil of them he should do it for the lowest figure named in the statutes , which is $10 per case , except in extraordinary itistauccs.where a chemical analysis of the stomach of the sub ject is necessary. Dr. Hiirrigun declined to accept ? 10D nnd said he should appeal to the courts. The bills for coroner's Jurors' and witness' fees paid during 1S39 have not ns j'et been figured , but those for the throe years preced ing lust year are as follows : l&SO , 17" ; 1 $7 , lo,1. ; 1SSS , $1,033.70. The county board's estimate for the ex penses of the coroner's ofllco during the pres ent year is $ J,000. Francis M. Ullner , who numnjjed Lucio Znratc , the fiiniouo midget , hits the following' in tlio eiistorn papern : "I have been busy in searching Tor an attraction that would equal Zarnte in phenomenal oddity nnd drawing power. 1 am pleased to announce that I have found it in the family of E. T. Page of Ingorsoll , Tex. The head of the family is an English gentleman , the wife is a woman of not uncommon appearance , and is n iiativo of Texas. In September , 1887 , twins blessed their union. In De cember , I88S , triplets were born to them. Iu January of the present year Mrs. Page became the mother of four babes at one birth. Of all the&o children only the triplets died. I have contracted with Mr. and Mrs. Page for the exhibi tion of the family the parents tlie twins , the quadruplets and the two" nurses , whose services have been found noce&ury. My first date is nt Denver , Col. , in Sackott & Lawlor's Wonderland , for two weeks , beginning April 7. Thereafter I shall ba at Lin coln , Neb. , and St. Joseph , Mo. , for one week iu each place , and at Omaha , Keb. , for two woous. The quadruplets , to whom I call particular attention , are wonderful enough , solely from tho-riimul- taneity of their birth , to attract tlio at tention and excite the interest of all uiou and women everywhere. Talcing into consideration the fact that they are t-o similar in weight , in the blondness of hair and blueness of eye , und in their sex , that their own mother finds it dillicult to tell tlie one from I the olher , their value as objects of interest appears greatly en hanced , Considering the additional fact that Paith , Hope , Charity and Patience "Page are perfect in health and forma tion , that they are pretty and happy children , possessing the full measure of infantile intelligence , that never before in the hiHtory of the world have quad ruplets of one sex been born consider ing all those facts , I have no hesitancy in pronouncing the Page quadruplets tlio greatest curiosity I have ever handled , and the most-attractive freak of nature 1 have overseen. That they will prove to be a magnet of greater strength than wore even Lucia Zarnto nnd General Mite is tv sweeping assertion , but one uj > on which I will stake my reputation as iin GxnoriMURnd Hhoivmnn ' inent. I am prepared to substantiate to the letter every assertion I have made re specting tlie birth of these children. Their advent into the world was her alded throughout Texas- , and all the res idents of Ingersoll are familiar with all the facts in the case. As to the drawing l > ewer of this remarkable family , I re quest attention to the attendance ut the museums where I shall be On the dates given above. The Qnly One.

This for mality being concluded the party went to the residence of the marquis in the Rue de Tilsitt- where u second search was mndo in the presence of Madame do Mores , who maintained her self- possession in an admirable manner. While this was going on the marquis asked permission to change his dress , and was al lowed to do so.

All papers of n suspicious character found oil the premises were duly seized and will be carefully examined.
