A apocint meeting of the city council
mis hold yesterday forenoon , called for
the purpose of making the tax levy for
the year. Alderman James presided ,
and Aldermen Sicdoulopf , GoisoMynstor'
and Keating were present. Alderman
MoMahon , who ia chairman of tlio
finance committee was oxpootcd to report
on the matter but waa not present and
the council proceeded to ether business.
Mrs. Wilson notified the council
through her attorney that n judgment
had boon rendered in her farov for
§ 4,700 for city warrants hold by her. Referred -
forred to the city attorney to report
whether a levy ought to bo made to pay
it , aa petitioned for by her. The city
attorney reported in favor of letting the
take ita regular course. Lot the
ourt bo asked for a mandamus and thoa
lip city could make n showing. Air.
Bight , Mrs. Wilaon'a attorney , objected
to this delay.
Alderman Jonoa said that in vlovr of
the improvements being paid for there
must be u retrenchment for taxation
would coon become confiscation.
The city attorney's report waa adopt
ed.
Alderman Mynstor offered a resolution
instructing the city clerk to certify up to
the county treaaurcr the assessments of
paving on Main atroot , Oakland avenue
and Bryant street , that these assess
ments might bo charged up to the prop
erty. The purpose of thia waa to put
matters in such ahapo that the paving
could bo collected for in ouo assessment ,
in case the bonds were not sold. If the
bonda were sold , the resolution could
then bo rescinded , and changed to five
payments , instead of ono. The paving
of Broadway was not included in the
roaolution , aa that work has not been
done , and houco could not bo assessed at
prcsont. The roaolution was adopted.
The matter of a levy waa taken up.
Aid Siedoutopf presented a schedule of a
lovy. There was considerable discussion
about making a limit to the territory to
bo tasod for waterworks. The council
waa at first inclined to make the city
limits the limits of the territory subject
to rate tax , in other words subjecting all
property to the tax , the law providing
that the council must fix the limits be
fore making that lovy. Alderman Myus-
ter insisted on having nome limits which "
would exclude porno outside property.
The discussion brought uut the fact
that all agreed there was considerable
property inside the city limits which
would not be strictly liable to a water tax
jUnder the law , but if the limits were
jade one thousand foot from the nearest
ydrant , a five mills tax on the property
" us included would only amount to $13 ,
000 or so , and that thia would necessitate
isouingjho bauuco of the § 20,000 in gen-
" ral warrants thua compelling the city at
largo to pay for the balance anyway. To
avoid thia it was the desire to make the
limits aa extensive aa possible so aa < o get
in as largo a tax as could bo. It waa
suggested that although not strictly
binding " on all property in the city , yet
so levied many would pay the email
| unount rather than make a legal contoat.
nally the fixing of the limits was ro-
Erred to Alderman Mynstar and Alder-
aan James , who uro to confer with the
ngineor.
Alderman Siodentopf offered a resolu
tion fixing a levy for 1884 as follows :
Mills.

In addition to this will bo the rate tax
of five mills.
Alderman Keating objected to the levy
for the public library. Ho expressed
himr.-slf as believing that the city could
got ulong without the library nnyway.
The levy vraa adopted as fixed by Al
derman Sicdontopf's resolution.
Rev. P. B. McAloiiomy , pastor of the
Catholic church , was unanimously cho
sen aa ono of thu trustees of the public
library , in place of Rov. Cyrus Hamlin ,
resigned.
Goo. T. Wright objected lo the _ drive
way at the Bloomer school building cut
ting into the sidowalk. The Marshal
was instructed to Imvo it removed.
On motion of Alderman Keating the
marshal waa instructed to remove all
. wagons , farm machinery , and ether
on the principal streets
of the city.
On motion of Alderman Siodentopf
property owners on Main and Broadway
wero'notifiod to pave the drainwaya load
ing into business places , instead of using
wooden aprons from the curbing.
Adjourned till 10 o'clock thia morning
to then listen to the report on the limits
for water works tax.

In the BEE of yoatorday appeared an

TRYING TRICKS.
Two Duflish Fellows PulM While
Playing a Check Game ,
Detectives Tcro and Valentino Spoil
Their Fun.
An attempt to play a confidence game
was yesterday cleverly nipped in the bud
by Detective Fore , of the Chicago , Mil
waukee it St. Paul road , and Detective in
Valentino , of the Union Pacific. Valentino
tine noticed two very dudish looking
young men at the depot in Omaha , and
saw enough of their actions to become
convinced that they were working train
No. 2. They came over to this sldo of
thu river and Valentino put Fore onto
them at the transfer. The follows got
onto the Chicago & Hock Island train ,
and took a seat behind a Gorman , whom
to
they tried to work. Fcro slipped into a
seat right behind them , and hoard ono of
them toll the Gorman that ho waa not
afraid to trust him , evidently trying to
impress thu victim with the idea that the
only risk was on their part in
having the German run away with
the chock , on which they
were borrowing the money. Just as the
trick had been turned andjtho confidence
men had ] got the money , ono of the two
er
dudiah gentlemen , turning about , saw
Fcro , and evidently recognized him , and
said to the ether " that "
"slip , and in
stantly the money was given back to the
victim , and the chock taken back , Fero
sprang up and tackled thu two follows ,
and Valentino , who was standing on the
platform watching , came to his assistance
and the two follows were at once arrest it
ed. In the ttiBjle they managed to getaway
away with the check , and it could not bo
found. The Gorman claimed that the
follows told him that they were mcr-
chanta in Peoria , 111 , and the
pretext for borrowing money
an the check was the old ono of
having some charges to pay on some
goods , The doctivos had a lively talk
with the two fellows. For prisoners
they wore quito defiant , and freely ac
knowledged that they had boon on thu
Hock Island road , more or loss , for the
past seven years , without being molested.
They eoomcd to know a good many do
tectivca , and told Fero that thi-y knew
his "booH , " John A. Ilinsov , of Milnau
koo , and would have Fero "fired,1
They also threatened to have Valentine
The detectives brought tin
two follows up before Jmtico Schurz ,
while officer McMillian the
Union Pacific depot policeman ,
brought up the two witnesses , ono the
Gorman , the other a man from Missouri ,
who they tried to work on the ether side ,
The two follows , who gave their names
as J. B , Jourdan , and 0. II. Burke ,
were placed in jail until the matter could
bo more fully inquired into , and the two
witnesses were put in a side room at the
jail.Tho
The Gorman gave hia name as Yalon
tine Solicitor , and hia homo ia near Peoria

IM.itto , whore hn had boon after land. |
He ] aaya the confidence men worked him
up to Ifiid thorn some money , and that ho
asked them how much they wanted. Ono
of them asked how much ho had. Ho
answered S100 , and pulled it out of his
pocket. Ono of the fello a took It ,
saying , "hero , I can count it quicker
than you can , " and just then the other
ono seeing Detective Fore , said "slip
it. " lie had not got possession of the
check , and as the detective jumped up ,
thu Gorman snatched back the money ,
It waa decided to have him stay aa a
witucsa against the follows , and ho is
placed under Jailer Schouz's oversight ,
though not kept locked up.
The other witness , W. T. McCullum ,
was from Unionvillo , Mo. The fellows
had tried the same sort of a trick on him ,
and when ho told them ho had S.5 ! , they
wanted himto lend it to them , but ho
said , "No , 1 guess I can use my own
mono } ' . 1 won't at least lend it to any
such follows as you " They then started
off and left him. Mr. McCullum has
gene homo , but gave the promise of resp
turning to testify against them whenever
ho was needed.
.
By a recent decision of the court ,
Dr. Cross was ordered to give up possession -
sion of the house ho occupies on Wil
low avenue and which bolonga to the
Ballard estate. Having failed to comply
with this order the oflicora yesterday
wont to the place and proceeded to move
out his household furniture despite his
protests. Finally a compromise was
reached , the officers agreeing not to pnt
his things out on the street , the doctor
giving security that ho would move out
himself before noon today.
GOTHAM'S ' GREAT GENIUS.
Now York Journal.
CHAPTER I. -
THE MAN AND 1IIS MYSTEUY.
Hiram Hubal , of Harlem , waa a genius.
Ho could clean a watch , build n house ,
run a steam engine , ride a bicycle , and
make all sorts of useful articles for household -
hold use. But Hiram was poor. It was
for this reason that ho mauo up hia mind
to become rich. How ho could accomm1
plish that desire wra the question -which
puzzed him. Hiram was also in love. n
This was a moro cogent reason than his
poverty that ho should acquire1 a compo-
toncy. |
Ho often used to say to himself as ho
sat in his little workshop in thu corner of
the back yard :
"Lovo is all very nice , but it can't take
the place of baked beans. ' v
Ouo day , while busy at a now scheme
for securing money without subjecting
bank cashiers to temptation , Hiram uttered -
tored an exclamation of delight.
"Aha ! I have found " "
it , ho cried. 1
have solved the problem and will make at
myself a millionaire. "
For several weeks during the early
part of the summer , Hiram was soon
daily wending his way to the Hoboken
Ferry. He always carried a largo canvas
bag with him. No ono could find out
why ho wont into the wilds of Now Jer
sey so often , for ho kept his own counsel.
He usually returned homo in the after
noon | and went straight to hia workshop ,
where ho remained until a Into hour at
night.
Once ho was suspected of being a coun
terfeiter , and detectives were put upon
his track. Of course , as soon aa those
sleuth honndo of the law saw that there
was no money it ib they dropped the
scout.
scout.Meanwhile
Meanwhile Hiram became poorer and
poorer. His last winter's hut looked very
tired ; his suit of several summers ago
was about entering upon the scarecrow
stage , and hia uhocs were yawning all
over. Notwithstanding all thoeo draw
backs Hiram was happy. Ho felt certain
ho was on the ro-td to wealth , and ho
know that if ho were successful ho might
win the maiden whom ho so madly loved.
Although the young lady who had won
Hiram's heart was not aware of the fact ,
yet inat did not deter him from going to
the park occasionally and witch her as
she rolled by in her luxurious carriage.
"Some day , " said Hiram , "I shall ride
a handsomer turnout than that , and
she shall bo by my eido. " Then ho
would liabten back to hia work filled
w/lh renewed hopu.
Uowover comforting hope [ may bo to |
ita possessor it will not pay hia board on
bill. Iliruin found thia out after ho had
succeeding in "staving-off" the land-lady
for nearly six weeks. by
"Mr. Hubal , " said she ono da ) ' , "I've
no doubt you are an honest man and a
hard worker , but unless you can settle
with mo for your board I shall bo obligud
seize upon the traps and gitncracks in
your shop. "
At this terrible throat Hiram turned
pale. Ho had all hia hopes of future
happiness centered in that shop , and to
deprive him of the moans of obtaining a
fortune would bo equivalent to taking his
life. An ho waa making some weak ex
cuses for his delinquency the postman's
whistle sounded in the area. bo
"Hero's a letter for Mr. , .Hubal , " said
the servant. i <
' 0h , diar ! " gronnod Hiram. "Anoth n
bill , 1 suppose. "
Ho opened it. It contained a bill the
sight of which caused him to clutch the
the fence for support and shod tears , It I
was a 8COO bill. Accompanying it was a for
note which road as follows :

Had a bombshell exploded at his foot
Hiram would ascribed it to the fioodish- . ,
nosa of the small boy next door ; but to | ki
receive such a misgive from an unknown or
source waa too much for him. of
"Could it have boon she ? " ho asked
himself. "But no ; eho doesn't know of
who I am , Dear , dear , how embarrassing
this is , to bo sure. , .1
When ho tendered the banknote to I G

said. "Any time when you have the
change will do. "
"Very well , " replied Hiram , whowith
the characteristic recklessness of cnnius ,
put the bill in his pocket and walked off
whistling.
"This money ia a perfect godsend , "
ho said , as ho started off on his rcguUr
I trip to Now Jersey. "It will enable
mo to finish my invention and take out a
patent. "
As ho stopped aboard the ferryboat a
lynx-eyed man closely followed him
When ho ronchod the Jersey shore and
wended his wny to thu wooda , the detec
tive dogged his footsteps.
CHAPTER II.
TIM : sKuur.T OUT.
"What a splendid swimmer that man
is , " exclaimed Mies Itesoio Bernard to
her mother as the two sat on the beach
at Asbury park watching the bathers.
Ho waa indeed n splendid swimmer ,
compared with the dowdy automatons
around him , who bobbed up and down
like corks , and yelled at the breaking of
every wavo.
This beach on a summer afternoon ia a
most interesting place. It is crowded to
the water's edge with all sorts of people.
The grave and the guy , Iho { > oor and the
rich < ; the giddy girl with a dizzy bathing
suit and the ancient maiden with the
modest < waterproof thrown over her to
hide her blushes ; thu young clerk who
has a day's holiday and an extra dollar ,
with plenty of time and money ; and then
thu youngsters all sizes , aorta and ages ;
laughing , crying , digging in the eaiul ,
splashing in the surf and enjoying them
selves as only children can.
Meanwhile the swimmer to whom Mui
Bosaio < referred was gracefully disporting
himself in the water , now taking
n header in a wavu and then floating
on his back.
"Mamma , 1 think 1 will take a plunge
in the sea. The water ia so inviting that
1 cannot resist it any longer. "
So saying'Mlsa Bcssio arobe , wont to
her bathing-house , donned her dainty
suit and tripped lightly down to the
beach , tumbling into the water without
the slightest fear. Shu was a beautiful
swimmer , and soon reached the place
whore the gentleman waa floating ,
around.
When shocaught night of the face she '
lost her solf-posseaaion and sank like a
atone.
The gallant swimmer know not the
cause of her sudden disappearance , but
presumed it was occasioned by a cramp.
With a few vigorous strokes ho reached
the apot where she sank and dived drown
after { her.
As ho reappeared nbovo the surface a
shout of joy wont up from the multitude
Oil the shoro.
When she regained consciousness oho
found herself in her hotel with her moth
er at her side.
"Mamma , did you find out the name
of that gentleman who saved mo ? " she
murmured.
"They told uio ho is a Mr. ITubal , a
wealthy manufacturer , who ia staying for
few j weeks. "
" 1 thought DO , " said Boasio.
"Why , how did you know him ? " asked
her mother , in astonishment.
"Well , ita n long story , but I'll toll it
in a few words. Last summer while dri
ving iu the Park I noticed nearly every
day a line looking young man , clad in
garments which denoted that ho was poor
very poor. But his face was BO intel
ligent and ho always looked at mo BO
earnestly that 1 became quito interested
in him. Determined to find out all about
him I engaged a detective , who ascertain
ed that ho was an inventor and waa hard
work endeavoring to produce some
thing of a novel nature. The detective
never succeeded in finding out what it
was , although ho followed the young
man to Now Jersey , where ho often .
wont. IIo always carried an empty canVAS -
VAS bag with him , and invariably return
ed with it full. The detective could not
toll what it contained , but thought it
must have been some klnuot musical In
strument , for ho put his oar close to it
ouo day and hoard the most exquisite
harmony. Well , I felt so sorry for the
poor young man that I sent him a little ed
money , merely aa a loan. I now BOO that
bo has boon successful. "
"Do you expect to moot him again
while wo are hero. "
"I sincerely hope so , for I want to
thank him for oavinp my life. "
That night at a hop in ono of the
hotels , Mr. Hiram Hubal waa formally
presented to Miss Bernard. In a few
words ho told her the story of his lifo.
Ho Bald that for seine time ho had
been trying to invent a garment that
would enable his fellow creatures to
withstand the scoarching hnat cf summer.
Ho had succeeded , thanka to Miss Bern
ard's loan , which enabled him to perfect
his scheme and take out it patent. llo
had sold the right of manufacture to u
Now Jersey firm and received a Imnd-
some royalty.
"Now , Mies Bernard , said ho , after
tolling hia story , "I wish to return the
money you so kindly loaned mo. "
"How do you know it waa 1 who sent
you the bank note of which you spoke ? "
{ "I found that out from thu monogram
the envelope. "
"You .do not pwo mo anything , " she
said ; "that debt ia .moro than cancelled
my obligation to you for saving my
lifo. "
"But you saved mine when I was in
more iminont danger than you , " ho re
joined. "However , wo will lot your
mother aottlo the dispute. "
That the affair waa amicably adjusted
waa evident from the fact that they were
married about a month aftortrardr.
"Now , Hiram , " said hia charming
wife , ono evening aa they eat on the
porch of their handsome residence on
the Hudson : If it were not for these
horrid mosquitoes our happiness would
complete , indeed !
"And , if it had not boon for mosqui
toes wo might not now bo enjoying our
selves ao much , " ho said ,
"Why " , that's funny. What do you
moan ?
"Do you remember mo tolling you how
made a fortune out of a now material
men's summer clothes1' ?
"Yas , darling. "
'Well , do you know what thatrnatorial
made of ? "
"Of course not ; you never told mo. "
Bonding low bo breathed the secret
into her ear. (
"That material Ia made of mosquitoes'
"
wings.
