Joe Hums was the first witness called. Ho took the stand to toll what ho knew about the prioos of pig lead In the year 1888 , the year In which F. C. Sholes , ox-Council man Cooper's bookkeeper , had u contract with the city for furnishing the same. Ho testified that It was worth from 4 to 5 cents per pound , and claims were produced to bhow that ho had charged the city 0 } cents. The claims also showed that they were signed and approved by W. J. Cooper , then chalriuan of the water committee. Hums also testified that Shales was in the employ of Cob Bros. , in ttio capacity of bookkeeper and business manager. F. A. Korsmoyor , a plumber , also testified that pig lead was worth 4 % to 5 cents per pound In IbSS. * Frank L. Sheldon then took the stand and startled the natives by testifying that ho paid C. K. Montgomery and ox-Councilman Hllllngsby * UK ) as his share of the "ox- ponies" attendant , upon the vacating oC an ulley on liU property on Eleventh street. He denied , however , that ho paid Hillingsby SJOO for Hut purpose of inducing the council to cull u apeelal meeting to condemn the alley-way. Burns wua here recalled. He was shown bills from F , C. Sholos ( Coopcrs's man ) to the city , for hydrantu , and his further tcsti- inony revvnk-d thu fact that the prices charged worn -very nearly current prices , but that the 35 per cent discount was not allowed. Hills for check valves , pipe and other ' supplies furnished from the store of' Mr. Cooper , wore also cited , showing that the supplies had been furnished to the city ut regular rates , but that the discounts ranging from Ii5 to 70 per cent liud not been allowed in a single in stance , Uurns testified that discounts were usual on the class of goods named. Ho stood Cooper's cross-lire without wincing , after which Chairman Hamilton took up the Dean- Uurns deal. I turns stated that on the night of the meeting ot the council ( after ho had refused to do the boodlu act ) Dean quietly usked him If uu had settled the preliminaries unit , on replying negatively. Dean said , "Well , you will not got your money then. This has to do with the 10 per cunt commissions demanded for At torney Hum's $3,100 claim. "Bean then , " continued the witness , "went and hold a whispered consultation with Graham , Puce , Boilgn und Hilliugsloy. " The rncordn nhow that the claim was denied , although approved by the finance committee. The tCAtimony throughout the sitting of the commiun to-day was of this character.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. Glork Booho Bxhonoratod By Attor ney Mahonoy's Report. A POORLY ERECTED BUILDING. "What Mr. Coots Has to Say About tlio Now County Hospital Other Matters Dci'oro the Board. Anderson's Chnrccs KnII Flat. At the meeting of the county commission ers yesterday , County Attorney Mahouoy sent in a communication concerning the re quest of A. C. Pcnnock for a refund of $800 paid for lots that had boon sold for taxes. The attorney states that in cases where or- rora were made the county must rotund the money. A communication was also received from CouLty Attorney Mahoney in reference to charges made by Commissioner Anderson against Clerk Rocho and accompanying afll- davits. The county attorney says : "I have taken some pains to investigate the charges of making a false report and al tering the report after it had been made , ana us to the former I atn convinced that this was purely a clerical error in malting out the balance sheet. I do not believe it was the intention of the legislature to punish & clerical error as perjury , and I have thus far been u nablc to find any testimony which would indicate a corrupt intention in the manner in which the balance sheet was made out ; especially in the light of tli'3 fact that the amounts , set out as paid for deputy and clerk salaries uro not questioned as being correct la the aggrocr-to. "As to the alteration of tho' record , It is Improper and should uot have boon done , but aa there was no alteration , or attempt to alter the amounts shown on the balance sheets , and ns It was evidently done wltli a view to correcting u mere clerical error , it does not como within the provision of the statute providing for the punishment of the offense of maliciously altering or defacing public record. "Until , therefore , BOUIO ovldonca is fur nished movhlcti would indicate a corrupt purpose on the part of the county cleric , either in umlaut : a false report or maliciously altering u public record , I must decline to institute tins'1 ' criminal proceedings upon these grounds " The reports were ordered filed. A request Worn the residents of Florence , asking disappointment of J. 8. Knupp us constable pfjFiqronco , was referred to the judiciary coijuimtee. 1C. A. Catllerwood offered to soli some maps to tho'tounty. The matter wan re ferred to tt o.court house and jail committee. Judge Wukoly's decision in the cases of Warren Swltzler and Ferdinand Striu against the county was read. The matter of the drugs necessary for the county Ulrfjiotisdry , which will cost $050 , was referred to till ) charity committee with in- structlonM.0 advertise. The drug store re port shows.Unit live-eighths of the prescrip tions were1 tilled during May. Superlnltiukmi Coots reported on the con dition ot the county hospital. He said ; "In uocorjuuco with your resolution enclosed - closed , and in uuswer thereto , I respectfully HUbiuit in ; report. I find upon Investigation that in the most Important lines entering into the construction of the building , no far as now completed , viz. , brick work and con crete , that while tlu building conforms to the plans in sliupo and style very little of the work has been done according to tlio specifi cations and plans , which cull for tlrsl cltisj work in ovary particular. The brick work generally has been very roughly donn , with large Joints and croaked courses , ronuli sur- fauo , and with imuiy of the joints nut of plumb. The inaido or middle walls are not we 1 filled with mortar , us per spculllcalluns. which require groatod work In every third course , uni ) almost dll the brick urches over corridor doom uro | orly put up , and not bounded. The bricks used are of un average good quality , and if they hud been laid In n worjtuiuuliko m-nuor , the outvldu of tuo building would have presented a much bet tor appearance. "The brick arches for floors and curblngs have not been put in according1 to plans , and have been put up in the corridors before they werein the room , thus in many cases spring ing the walls , on account of having no sup port to secure the truss of the corridor arches. In my opinion , nil of the corridors should have had an iron tie-rook their whole length , but only a few have been put in , and on account of being put in in some places eight inches higher than shown by the plans , they do not support the arches. "I further find that quite an amount of concrete placed upon arches In different parts of the building is not of a character called for by the specifications , and some of it must bo removed ; also that iron beams have not been anchored to the walls as they should bo. I tind that It will cost about $20,000 to nnish the build ing us per plans and specifications. This would allow n reasonable business profit for the construction. In some instances the iron beams wore not put in the wall as these wcro carried up , ana the beams next to the walls have not been secured to them with tie-rods , as required by the specifications , and I con sider this method of construction as a dan gerous one. Respectfully submitted , JOHNF. . COOTS , Superintendent. The report was sent to the committee on construction. A report from the committed of the entire board on stationery matter showed that the expense for 1830 was $ ,183.04 , 1837. & 5M7.83 ( ; 1883 , ? 7,145.5o. An itemized statement of the year 1833 was submitted with the roport. It charges exorbitance in certain items , espec ially the amounts paid for re-binding books , for pens and pads , and recommends that in the future a more comprehensive contract bo made. The report , was referred to the com mittee on finance , with instructions to look up the excessive charges and return n statement of the same , the amount to be deducted from the next bill for stationery. Mr. Coots made a request that ho bo au thorized to make certain changes m the con struction of the hospital. This stirred up something of a war of words. Commissioner O'Keeffo spoke about changes that had been made by the author ity of Mr. Mo.\crs , through members of the hoard * Ho charged a number of them with doing work so instructed , whllo a number of the members of the committee , to whom such report should have boon submitted , know nothing officially about it. A lively and heated dlsccnslon followed on the discussion , and Mr. O'ICeaffe , In defend ing himself in the position taken , said to Mr. Mount that ho did uot desire to bo culled n liar when ho know ho was right. Ho said that some of the members of the board bad received communications from Mr. Meyers which had been kept from the board. Mr. Mount denied the ropoit or rumor that Mr. O'ICeoffo had heard. To shut off the pending unpleasantness , Mr. Anderson suggested that the board proceed with the regular business , which was done , The appropriation shoot for May salaries , amounting to $12,235.4' ) , was passed , and the board adjourned. imicviTiios.

He declared that the democrats were too la/y to go to the polls. They allowed themselves to be run. bv a petticoat government. He favored a straight democratic ] ticket , and would go down to defeat with it rather than support a reoubllcan. A. C. Head wanted the entire non-parttsn ticket endorsed , or none of it. W , A. L.
