The city council bad a number of Important matters on Its docket at the regular meeting ast night , but In most cases they merely ppcared In the way ot routine , And final ctlon was deferred. The card had brought ul an unusually strong lobby , but the pro- ecdtngs were unc\cntful. About itho only H > lnt of more than passing Interest was the nstructlon of the judiciary committee to ako up iho Inquiry Into affairs at the police ourt. The corrratttce on street Improvements and laducts submitted a report on the Sixteenth trcct viaduct matter , but failed to recom mend any Immediate action. Stunt explained hat no funds were available for the pur- > esc , but Dlngham Insisted that this was not difficult problem , Inasmuch as the city's hare of the expense iwas only $1,000. Ho Igorously declared that the matter had hung re long enough and that the repairs should o begun at once.

The attorney stated hat lie had not had time to make an cx- laustlvo Investigation on account of his oc- upatlon In the Dot In trial , but on general principles be recommended that no warrants hould be drawn against the balances ludl- atcd. Ho held that It would bo better policy o Issue funding bonds to take up outstainl- ng Avarrnnts. In regard to the resolution of the Board of Education demanding an Investigation of the lollco court , City Attorney Conncll recom- ncndcd that ti special committee of three be appointed to make the necessary Investlga- Ion. On the suggestion of iBcchel the udlclary committee was substituted.

The elec- rlclnn made the recommendation In order hat the company might bo able to send out Incmcn In a case of fire to assist in taking care of the wires. On the recommendation of the finance com mittee the refunding bond ordinance vnn referred to the comptroller with n request hat ho prepare at once a statement of the loatlng debt and liabilities of the city.

The operations of a forger , who has ork.ed successfully among several local merchants , tiavo recently come to light. He represented himself to le.a traveling man and gave tlio names of C. D. Hart and E. II. Brown Under tbo latter name be bought a suit of clothes at the Continental Clothing coitnany and that he would make payment upon its de livery at 2G58 Douglas street , where he had engaged rooms. When the boy called to de liver the goals he was tendered a worthless check for $23 signed by E , II. Brown. The eamo game. In a similar amouftt , was worked on Kelly , Stlger & Co. A slightly different method was taken with KUpatHck & Co. and the Bostco store. To them he raid ho was a traveling man with B. Lowenstcln & Co. ofMeraphis , Tenn. In their presence he opened a letter purporting to bo from 'this house and containing check to his order for $27.50. The game was successful and In both cases the full amount of the check was secured. His coeratloas were so well-timed that Ills last victim was called upon half an hour before the protested checks were returned by the southern bank" . Detective Cox later called at the stores men tioned and endeavored to identify Hart with a well known caatorn crook , whoso photo graph was In his ijosseflfilsn. In all cases the likeness was stated to be that of Hart. He In wanted In a number of places as a forger and all-round swindler. The photograph was also recognized at the Commercial National bank as that of the man who endeavored to pas a worthless check there for $750 endorsed with the forged signature of C , E. Yost.
