A special meeting of the city council was
held last livening at which tlio prlnc.ul
topics for discussion were thu gas and pa'
ing questions. Mayor Jcimlngs was In iho
chair and all the aldermen wero present,
excepting Huhcr, who madu his appcaranco
l,n nour and a naif 'ato. As soon as tho
minutes of tho preceding meotlng had !
read, tho maor precipitated the discussion
of tho gasi question by reading a message
In which he aborted th, right and the duty
of tho council to regulate light rates at Its
own plcomire by fixing them at a fair and
equitable figure, and urged tho council to
tako some action at once. Tho reading of
the document received appiauso from out-
HUU .he railing.
President Casper of the Merchants1 and
Counrll muffs, and Mid It was the duty of
tho council to cut down that of tho com-
modltlc that were within Its' power. He
said the cost of tho local gas plant was
$187,000, but that the capital stock had been
wlltero( to ,Ul,L, Me,( nnit that the
cost rather than the capital stock, ought
be made tho basis of determining the prlc

Mr. Organ's talk was followed by an In-
formal discussion, In which tho aldermen '
ohserved a clammy silence and allowed '
their constituents to carry off all tho ,
honors of the forum. Leonard Everett I
,,,,, ,u mi...i i . i
thought that If other Missouri river points
.rnulil hnvn Si ens rTniinrll llliirfa niirrht tn .

or so rather than tying tho city up for ai
long term of years.
To this City Attorney Wadsworth replied
that tho law forbade the making of any
contract for gas and that tbe rates could be
changed at any time regardless of such con
tracts us might bo made.
With this the gas question was suddenly
dropped and only came to the surface for
n moment later In the evening, when
Spencer Smith gave It as his opinion that
tho ordinance should contain a stipulation
that tho hooks of tho company should at
all times bo open to tho Inspection of tho
council, so that the latter might be able
to dectdo what was an equitable rate.
A petition was filed asking that Fourth
street bo paved with asphalt nnd was ro
fcrred to tho committee of the whole.
A protest was filed against thc laying of
a sidewalk on tho west side of Glenn avo-
nuo from Fifth avenue north.
Plenty of Local llrlek.
The paving matter then came up and
Alderman McDonald asked for the citizens
present to make such suggestions us they
might have on hand. John P. Weaver, E.
A. Wlckham and George F. Hughes were
-'" i'u ' ay wnelncr lnB Drl man-
ufacturers of Council Bluffs would bo ablo

lurnisn an mo dhck required lor pav
Ing during tho next two years, and their
unanimous opinion was that thero would
bo no troublo on that score. Spencer Smith
called attention to tho excellent woarlng
qualities of tho brick that had been made
In Council Bluffs nine years ago nnd used
In paving, nnd ho and a number of others
declared themselves In favor of patroniz
ing homo Industries if possible. The wholo
paving question was then laid on tho table,
to bo taken up again at tho regular mect-
ng, which will bo held Monday night.

obey the law of the state In defying the
mandato of the state superintendent of pub

thing and after adjournment one of the at

tho disposition of about $:,r00 fees collected
by Cierk Chris Jones of the supreme court
for copies of opinions furnished by him to
nttornays nnd to law publishing cmpanles.
TIrvo fees ho has been crediting to his unr.
sonnl account Instead of turning them Into
tho stato, claiming not only tho precedent
of tho olllco from tho beginning to warrant
him In this proceeding, but also tho opinion
of nn attorney general of tho state in 1878
nnd a clnlm of nn equity In the earnings
outside of tho office.
Tho fcos collected from this source by
Mr. Jonos during tho past flvo and ono
quartor years amount to $ 1.300 approxi
mately. Tho claim 1 made, however, that
ho must bo required to account for 25 per
cent additional, which would make the fes
ns largo as thoso authorized by tho statute
to bo collected. Tho law govornlng thle
matter was passed about thirty years ago,
before typewriters' woro used and beforo
publishing houses furnished copies
opinions to subscribers. It authorized a
chargo of 10 cents per 100 words for copies.
Tho clerk charced tho West Publishing
company of St. Paul 25 cents per pngo for
enrbon typewritten copies. He charged
attornoys 20 centfl a page.

NEW YORK, May 31. Justice Andrews, In
tho Bupronio court, has dissolved tho sweeping-
Injunction against tho Clgarmakers'
union which prohibited tho payment by
members of the union of strike benefits and
practically made It unlawful to contribute
to tho support of a striker's family when tho
head of the house was out of work.
This Is tho injunction which so arouoed
Samuel Gompcrs, president of tho American
Federation of Labor, that ho camo to tills
city nnd made nn address to tho striking
clgarmakers In which ho advised them to
dlorogard tho injunction of Justlco Freed-
mnn. President Gompers denounced tho
order aa un-American nnd illegal and for a
few days It was bclloved tho labor leader
would be punished for contempt.
Tho Injunction dissolved by Justlco An
drows was to restrain temporarily tho mem
hers of Clgarmakers' International union No.
114 from interfering with tho business of tho
nlalntlffs. S. Levy & Co. It went further
than any previous restraining order In pro
hibiting tho payment of strike benefits or of
moneyn to tho strikers, on tho ground that
such payments wero made to foment tho
strlko and encourago Its continuance.
Justlco Andrews says tho temporary In
Junction was granted properly on tho papers
beforo Judgo Freodman, but tnat tho de
fendants havo met tho allegations, which
wero largely on information and belief, with
specific denials of tho material allegations
by tho different Individuals referred to In
tho moving papers, so that the Injunction
ennnot bo continued. Tho allegations of
tho plaintiffs of threats of Intimidation, tho
Justlco says, aio not borno out on all tho
papers presented.
With regard to tho payment of strike
moneys, tho Justlco finds tho plaintiffs havo
, not proved the alleged purpose of tho pay

paid to keep up tho strlko und Injuro tho
plaintiffs. Justlco Andrews finds that tho

SAN FRANCISCO, May 31. Referring to
thc quarantining of Chinatown, the attor

made tho following statement:
"Wo shall do nothing precipitately In tho
way of litigation and therefore wo do not
contemplate making an application to tho
of i courts at this tlmo for any order to mod.fy
or hinder the operations of tho Hoard ot

"A causo of considerable uneasiness
among tho Inhabitants of Chinatown is tho
lack of quarantlno regulations thus far ob
served within tho quarantined district The
gcncial quarantlno order keeps 20,000 people
within a prescribed district, and that a
comparatively riniall district. In this dis
trict It Is not claimed that thero over havo
been moro than nl&o or ten cases Tho
contention made by the peoplo who are
subject to tho quarantlno la that If It Is
necessary to quarantlno this numerously
populated district, It Is the duty of the
Hoard of Health to go further and qu.ir.in-

I PHILADELPHIA, May 31. During tho
', ceremonies Incident to tho decorating of tho
graves of the union and confederate dead
, In tho National cemetery at Germantown, a
suburb, yesterday, It developed that In cer
' tain Grand Army circles opposition has ap
peared to the erection of a monument to
the confederate dead In that cemetery by
i thu Daughters of tho Confederacy. Colonel
. Thomas (1. Snmplc of Pittsburg, a past
! commander of the Grand Army of th.i
Republic, during h!s oration In connection
with tho ceremonies under tho nusplccs of
Ellis post No. 6. said:
"We have burled all of our sectional feel
ing. Wp forgot all sectionalism at tho cloo
of the war. Yet while I have no objection
to our brothers In the south raising monu
ments to their generals, as of course they
have a perfect right to do. I raise tny volco
In protest against their erecting acv monu
ment to any one who fought against the
flag In any national cemetery In tho coun
try." Colonel Sample said after his oration that
he spoke only In a general way; that ho
had not known until ho reached German
town that thero was any local feeling on
tho subject. It then developed that
Ellis post had adopted resolutions protest
ing against tho erection of tho monument,
laid tho matter before the Grand Army
association, compojed of posts In this city
and vicinity, which also adopted resolutions
against the proposed menioilal.
Tho plan to raise a monument to con
federate dead took shape moro than a ymr
ago. Colonel W. H. Kn,ui;s of Ohio, a
member of the Grand Array of tho Republic,
brought to thc attention of the Daughters
of tho Confederacy that thero are In tho
cemeteries of the north thc graves of thou
sands of confederate soldiers, many of them
unknown. Tho organization took up the
matter and began to colhrt funds, pr.n
clpally In the south, for the purpose of
raising monuments over th(e graves, lu
this city the General Dabney II. Maury
chapter undertook the work and hoped in
tho bcglnntng to have the monument ready
to be unveiled yesterday.
Whothor tho project will be dropped now
that opposition to It has developed remains
for the general society of the Daughters ot
tho Confederacy to determine. Mrs. Hatrey
has sent a report on the subject to Mm.
Norman V. Randolph of Richmond, who Is
the chairman for tho general work. This
will bo forwarded to thi reunion of con
federate veterans at Louisville.
