There liavo been many as sessments which have been riaiculously low , and there will bo a raise m such cases. The city council meets every evening as a board of equalization. Citizens in terested in the assessment of their prop erty should bo in attendance when the proper time conies for entering any com plaints or objections which they may have. The switchman's pin promised as n prize to the switchman selling tlio great est number of tickets for the ball given last week by the switchmen , was awarded to C. C. Cochran.

The building IB to cost $0,000. The vote stood 101 for and 81 against. The vote had to bo taken on u tax for building a town hall , but the chief intent is to liavo the building for the branch of the district court held there now. The undertakers in this city are quito enthusiastic over a cheap substitute for the metallic caskets. The now casket is n network of wire covered with plaster parts , which can bo moulded into any desired form. It is claimed that this cas ket is lighter and cheaper than the me tallic cases , and that it is equally indo- Btructiblo. There were only two drunks to dispose of yesterday. This is about an average day's business for the superior court nowadays. Those who advocated this expensive piece of judicial machinery are not so enthusiastic over its workings as they wcro on the start. An ordinary' magistrate could polish off these plain drunks quito as well as to have a $3,000 judge nnd a $1,200 clerk. C. E. Stone has commenced a suit against thn city , and got a temporary writ of injunction restraining the collec tion of an assessment for curbing in front of his Vine street property , lie claims that ho paid the contractors , Hammer & Moomaw , $50 on the improvement , leav ing unpaid but a small balance.

' TWO SIDES TO THE SEINES , The Fishermen Tell Their Story and Are Planning to Play Even , THE DEALS IN BLUFFS DIRT. Two Boys nnnkrtiptcd By a Pennnt The Veterans Want Supplies For the Holly Sttll Try In it the Alarm .System. Tlio Fishermen's Bltlo. J. M. Johnson , ono of those arrested at Honey Creek , in Crescent township , for fishing witli a seine , denies that there is any truth in the report that ho once drove oil'a lish commissioner with a shot gun. Sheriff Heel , and others who have known Johnson for a long time , dcclaro that he is a very peaceable citizen , and that It is not at all like him to make any threats , or to resist an ofliccr. Johnson says ho never had any trouble of any kind In regard to the fishing before this. An ortiecr told him hist Sunday that ho must not fish any more wilii a bcino. Tlio ollieur tuld him ho could clean what fish ho already had , and take them to market. Johnson promised to comply with the order. When ho was placed under arrest ho was taking the lish out of tlio box in which lie had kept them'preparatory to taking to market. Thursday being always the oay of the week on which this was done. As in all such matters there are two sides to the controversy. There seems to be no iloubt but that the fish law has been violated , but tho.so violating dcclaro that other portions of the law have been violated lated right along by those who fish for fun. They insist that if the law is to bo enforced in their case it mnst bo strictly enforced. They also purpose to liavo the Sunday law enforced and the law in re gard to trespasscis. The sportsmen who jro out in that part of the county to take fish or game will liavo to walk very cir cumspectly now , for the tables will bo turned , if possible. There is some little feeling also over the manner in which the arrested men were treated. It is claimed that Captain Anderson on arresting the men should have taken them bcforo the nearest mag istrate , which would have been in Cres cent , where the men could easily have given bonds. Instead of that he put the irons on them and pushed right through Crescent , passing two magis trates , and brought them hero and placed them in the county jail. Their friends had to como hero to give bonds for them and secure their release. There seems to bo moro feeling over the manner of seeking the enforcement of the law than over the fact that the law is to bo enforced. Those who are thus indignant cite the case of the Min- dcn raid , as showing how quickly any community resists the idea ot having ofiicersfrom else whore como in to attempt to enforce a law which the homo ollicors feel competent to handle. The fishing with seines will doubtless bo brought to a speedy stop , for those united on enforc ing the law are determined in their action. Those who seek the enforcement will , however , bo bothered , if it is possiblefor those who object to its enforcement are able to make them trouble. They will take special pains to watch for violations of law , and the sportsmen will needs obey the requirements to the letter. Ono farmer remarked yesterday : "What is the use of interferring with these men. You city folks do not know how much we depend on this fish supply. These men sell the fish all around the country. Wo haven't got time like you city fellows , to sit on a bank with a hook and line to catch a mess of fish. Wo don't get a chance nt fish moat very often during the summer , and I tell you a mess of fish tastes mighty good as a change from bacon. We had just as soon these men would fish with seines , if they want to. They bring the fish right to our places , and wo can buy them for a few cents a pound. " It is said that another mode of revenge will bo that of prosecuting the city chaps as trespassers It is difficult to get at the lake except by passing over some private property , and such passage is to bo for bidden to the lone fisherman. In fact it seems that the war has just opened. A Perfect Match. In the old lady's scrap book there ap peared yesterday what purported to bean an original editorial on the local page , headed "Unequal Marriages. " The arti cle was a wad of distress because there wore so few perfect matches in matrimonial menial circles. It mav relieve the old lady's anxiety and cheer her gloomy views of lifo to call her attention to the fact that a perfect ma ten. has been dis covered , and in this city too. An article , which has been going around the coun try , from the Brooklyn Magazine , ap peared yesterday among the stereotyped plates which the old lady received by freight , and which she used to make up her yesterday's issue. Thla article ap peared on the editorial page of the same issue in which there appeared the local editorial ot "Unequal Mar riages. " Strangely enough this article also bore the same heading , read exactly the same , word for word , and the only difference discernable was that the article which came in plate form was in different type , and was credited to the Boston Magazine. It is a wonderful co incidence that the "original" local edi torial in the same issue should bo word for word the same. It is n perfect match on "Unequal Marriages. " In order to avoid the unpleasant suspicions which such coincidences excite with some , the old lady has instructed her children to hereafter compare the boiler iron part of the edition with the original clippings , seas as to proveut too perfect mutches in the future. _ Bankrupted the Boy * . Two lads from Denver arrived at the transfer yesterday.being sent through by friends , and bound for further east to visit other friends. The boys had evi dently been well supplied on starting from home , with the necessaries for the journey , and with pocket money. When they arrived here they wore loaded down with a little of. everything but money. They had evidently been worked by the newsboy to the full extent. They had books , numerous specimens of vegetable ivory , a full series of detective stories , prize candy packages , figs and cigarettes , but not a dime with which to buy a bil of bread. The boys had made sail calcu lations , and their financial distress was pitiable. They were well supplied , how ever , with everything which they did not need , and It appeared that the only way out of the dilemma was to sell off or trade off their purchases at a saori lico. A full grown fellow , who knows enough to act as news agent on a train , should have chosen older and lesa BUS ceptiblo victims. Jewel , Jewel , Jewel.

Still Trying the Alarm. There is nothing settled yet in regard to the Uichmoud fire alarm. The syston is in , and is said to be in working order The city is using it , so tar as it needs tc use any system. There , has only been oo caslou M jet to send ono alarm ore : the wires. That was from box 21. thn alarm being caused by the burning of grass. The alarm was turned in ail right , and the fire department turned out all right. ThBro has neverbeen nn alarm , a real ono , sent in on the police call. Both the fire and police alarms liavo been frequently tried , and they come in all right , but there has been no formal test , and hence no acceptance of the system. No reason seems to bo known for the delay in having a formal test , but the city seems to be losing nothing by such a delay , for n longer and better opportun ity is thus given for trying the boxes , before having to p.'iy down any money. At the samn time it causes naturally a little distrust , as it would seem that if the Richmond company was certain about the success of the system it would be in a hurry to got a formal acceptance , would file its guarantee bonds , and col lect tlio first payment. The bonds guar anteeing the works for two years have not been filed yet. J. G. Tipton has bottom lots , hill lots , residence lots , and business lots.

" This is to bo presented at the opera house Saturday afternoon and evening. It is a play dealing with modern society life , "wherein n happy family , consisting of a talented husband and father , his wife , tlio wealthy farmer's daughter , and their little girl , are agitated and almost divided through the machinations of an adventuress to supplant the wife in her husband's affections , and'thus gain access to iiislargo fortune. Her deeply-laid plans approach success , when "Lennox , " the husband , has a vis-ion of his future career , seeing himself at theendaravingmaniac , destitute of both friends ami fortune. From this horrid nightmare he awakes to find himself still surrounded by wife and child , and Ins fortune still intact. The conclusion is patent ; ho immediately breaks with the adventuress , and resolves to SPO neither her nor her associate again , and the curtain drops on a reunited family circle , happy in their mutual love. J. G. Tipton has ono business site that will make tlio purchaser a fortune. Office of Mulholland & Co. , removed to in under tlio Citizens' bank. Telephone No. 103. Leave your orders for ice.

The details ot the finding of the body of Irvin near the Broadway crossing of the Northwestern railway , are still fresh in the memory of the BF.E readers. At the time several circumstances indicated that Irvin had been foully dealt with. Irvin's brother was hero yesterday look- ng up further evidence. He-is satisfied that , ho is on the right track , ana it is ex pected that there will bo some startling developments. The mystery of the man's death , and the condition of the body , can hardly be accounted for on the theory that ho fell beneath the cars. It seems that he must have been left on the track in an unconscious condition at least , and probably was dead when the wheels passed over him. Money to loan on real estates.

Detroit Nowst The sensation at the senate chamber during the session re ccutly closed has been the constant presence ence of a young and beautiful woman who has captured the hearts of seyera senators to such an extent that a punlio scandal has only ijeen averted by the moat anxious importunities of tbo states SPECIAL SALE ! ALL THIS WEEK -OF- NOVELTY 25 PER CENT DISCOUNT -.A.T- HenpyEiseman&Co's t t 9 PEOPLE'S STORE , 314 , 316 , 318 and 320 BROADWAY. men. One lady , the wife of a senator from a far western state , was very indig nant because her husband succumbed to the blandishments of this fasci nating creature , and a suit for divorce might have followed but for the adjournment of the senate , which separated the senator and the woman who had alienated his affections. Tlio western senator is not the only one who was in danger. There were several others , notably ono who lias a largo fam ily of young children , nnd who is a man high in the management of the demo cratic party. Every senator in the boiiy for several weeks observed the quiet liirtations coing on between their col leagues and the woman in black. Some of tliera made light of the matter , and unmercifully twitted their brother sen ators. Others felt that the dignity of the senate had been trifled with , and wuro seriously thinking of taking steps to end the little scenes that took place at the chamber day after dny. The woman in the case made her first appearance hero last summer just before adjournment. She was then engaged in selling a book written by iv prominent public man. She was very successful in this , both because of the popularity of the v/ork and the unjquo wny in which she solicited subscriptions. Slio brought witli her to Washington a formal note of introduction to almost every gentleman in the capital building , i She would call upon them , leave a fashionable curd , pre sent her note of introduction , nnd when connected in a pleasant chat she would offer to sell the book. Many who would not have wasted a moment upoa an ordi nary book agent , spent half an hour in conversation , and then felt compelled to subscribe in order to escape being rude. From the clay of her arrival at tlio capital , she attracted wide attention by her beauty nnd evident rclinemeut. Her bearing was the height of modesty , yet there was a drcnmy , wisttul Jook in her languid blue eyes tnat was fatal. At the opening of the session just ad journed , tne beautiful'book agent was again on hand , , but instead of soliciting orders from membbrs of tlio house , com mittee clerks , and other oilicials , it was noticed that she spent all her time at the senate. The systbra of freemasonry es tablished , by whlcfy she obtained Inter views with senators is interesting. All the doorkeepers know her , and whenever she arrived they wbuld jump from their chairs with cqoat agility , each anxious to servo her first. There is a rule that no < i cards shall bo pre sented to sennt5rs until 2 o'clock in the afternoon , but this mysterious female was hampered by no such restric tion. She arrived at the capital every day , just after noon. Smilingly she would glide up to the doorkeeper , speak to him in a low tone , and two minutes later would bo found chatting with the desired senator on the sofa in the marble room. Everybody , whose business has required frequent visits to tlio senate , has observed the woman in mourning and her tote n teles with the senators , and nu merous Inquiries as to who and what she was have been made. The replies are nil unsatisfactory. There are at least six senators who could tell all about her if they would. They have been kneeling at her feet all winter , and have borne all sorts of un pleasant remonstrances from their col leagues for her sake. There Is one sen ator , tbo ono whoso wife threatens to sue for divorce , whoso committee room is near the entrance to the private lobby. On certain days when the ox-book agent arrived she would go straight toiho door ol the committee room , and after a hasty noi at thjTdoorkeeper of the lobby , walk- straight into the little room. At other times , receiving another sort ot nod , she would walk away without seeking aumit- tauco. It has been noticed thai on cer tain afternoons , when tlio senator failed to respond to roll call , the young woman in mourning also failed to make her usual visits to tlio senate. When Uyitted by their colleagues about the visits of the beautiful young woman the smitten senators always re ply : "Oh , she is endeavoring to secure tlio passage of a bill in which her hus band is interested. It's a good bill , too , and ought to pass. " The bill that this pretty lobbyist was endeavoring to pass was introduced in January , and favorably reported a week later. It provided for the payment of n largo number of oflicials for extra work performed in the years from 1871 to 1885. She scorns to bo in a much more pros perous condition than when she was a book agent last session , and , while she was then quito poorly dressed , she is stylish nnd fashionable now , although she wears the same bl.ick bonnet and long , deep veil of crape. * . entente's Cnshinerd Botiqunt Toilet Soap is better appreciated the moro it is used , and disappoints no one.
