hardly have boon chosen by tbo young
historians of Pork Plnce , This tlmo It was
the class of undcrgrnduatcs , with ono of

ished the feast of reason " In seven well
written essays , not long enough to bo fntlg-
uing , vet full enough to hold a largo Btoro
of information , these well Informed young
ladles gave u scries of oxcollcnt studios on
the city of Floreuco and life us It wns lived
there In the old days Hits of history and
stdo description facts \yero \ so thrown in as

Miss l-obniau outlined the work of tbo

tolling how the great citv fought bor special
battle , sowing the wind and reaping the
whirlwind , weurlng her soul out by factious
struggles , yet , nt lust making her great
stand for life and freedom , nuu losing the
cast , but not without honor
Miss Mctihuuu introduced her ho.irors to

Miss Sliorvlu told how the rcnaissanco

That Paving Aiypssment
C. M. Hunt Bays the articles published In
This Hrh omitted so much that was essential
to a correct understanding of the matter of
making the assessments for paving N street ,
and was so misleading , that ho desires the
matter made perfectly plain to all Ho Bays :
The city council first draw an ordinance
assessing iho whole expense on abutting
property owners With others , I appeared
before the couucil and objected to such nn
assessment as illegal and inequitable ns well
ns injudicious Iu July , lt > 8 , au ordinance
was drawn which has never been repealed ,
requiring the costs of nil futuio improve
ments to be assessed on ull ad
joining property to the alleys or
middle of the blocks on each side of the
streets Following this assessments to pay
for all of the grading and other improve
ments were made on ndjacout property
• ' 1 hen the statement that Mr llulfortv s
nssessmeut is greater than mine is not only
misleading but absolutely false The rule
adopted for the assessment is that abutting
property shall bo ussessod VA\ & nor cent , the
next lot 20 per cent , the next lot 10 * per
cent and the three following lots 10 per
cent each Tbo assessment of the
six lots north of Mr Uufforty's ' lot
and adjoining tun street is SI0S.1S ;
or in otlior words , I pay 33 1-3 per cent and
end Mr Haflerty 20 per cout of the cost of
the paving ,
"To have made the assessment simply on
abutting lands after the lots had been cut up
into fractions would bo so iucquitablo thnl no
iair man would desire or consent to it , and
again it would have conliscated many lots In
the city Further than that , it would be so
clearly illegal that wo should , huvo defended
ourselves oven if wo had boon coinpollcd to
appeal to the courts "

the defendants and It wus soon ascertained
by The Bcr correspondent that Oswald
Ilcrzlg was closeted with the attorneys for
the prosecution and giving information that
will bo startling when it becomes public
It became evident this morning that the
Information volunteered by Uerzlg was im
portant from the fact that the court ap
pointed a snecml deputy to guard btm This
was done upon a motion by the district
attorney Ono other party has today
given information who was cognizant of
the action of the Whlto Caps , and the state
ment made Is lalmed by the prosecution to
corroborate the statements made by Ilendg
In vlow of the fact that parties had turned
states evidence the district attorney early
this morning moved for additional bonds for
the defendants , which motion was granted
by alio court , ana the special doputles were
ordered to tuko the defendants into custody
until tboy furnished the additional bonds
Up to Into this evening the defendants are
still In the custody ot tbo ofllcors und are
trying to inako arrangements to give a Joint
bond in the sum of $ SO 0.
The most of the time was consumed today
In arguing the defendants motion that each
bo given u separate trial The district at

against the motion Showing that in his opin
ion the guilt or innocence of the dotoudauts
would not be nfTectddlby a Jo.nt trial , James
Donnvan.attorney fortlio defendants , pleaded
At length for a separate trial The court
in passing upon the motion said that
the defendants wcro not entitled to a sever
ance as u mutter oVright ; that it lay wholly
within the discretion of the court , and that
iu his Judgment the defendants had failed to
make such a showing as would entitle them
to a severance Ho thereupon overruled
the motion : Tho''attorney ' ' for tbo prosecu
tion then moved for a consolidation of th o
four cases , to bo tried to ono 1ury , which
motion was granted : As the case now
stands there are four separate informations
filed ngainst each dofcudaht , to bo tried as
ono case to ono Jury
It Is supposed that two days will bo used
in securing a jurv The subnoauas for the
wituesscs for the people have boon issued
returnable on Thursday of next week A
question arose as to whether each dofondint
was entitled to a separate peremptory chal

thorn to unite in such challenge The court
tooic the matter under advisement until
Monday at 0 a. m.
Judge Glynn is going vorv carefully and
deliberately into the matter , and his de

Wultlnu for tint Managers to Meet
The union depot question will bo definitely
settled a ' week from next Tuesday , on the
last day ot the month , when the managers ot
the various roads ontcrlng tbo city meet herewith
with the oxccutlvo committee of the scheme
The members of the committee are confident
that the retult will be favorable , uad ox J
I press tbe opinion that the grading of tbo
depot site will bo begun liuldo of ilftoou
days The elevation of tlio proposed struct
ure was on exhibition yostcrday at Else
mati's window , and wns viewed and uttmirod
bythousands There nro u few doubting
Thomases , who are afraid that the plan will
fall through nftor nil , or Unit the other
companies will now demacd a remission of
taxes since the Union l'ilclllo has boon so
favored If tholr feats prove groundless in
both of these lustnnces they are posltlvothat
the union depot company will want the city
to vote a small tax to help thorn out , "
'lho general expression is one or rejoicing
and satisfaction that the city council finally
decided to accept tlio proposition of the
Union I'acillo company , nlthouch it is given
out cold that the people think that they have
given enough and will not talto kindly to lin
ing bled any further ovcn'lo secure so doslr-
able a thing us a union depot The notion of
the council was commented on very gener
ally yesterday and AUioruinii Wateimau was
as severely censured for oiiposmg the move
as the other members of the council were
commended for favoring it Few now
developments in the matter mn bo expected
until the meeting on tlio fllst inst , which
will bo looked forward to with great interest
