The outstanding city warrants must t
paid before those Issued for the currct
expenses of the city government.
This Is , In'substance , the decision of Judf
Smith handed down yesterday morning c
the convening of district court In the mar
damus case of N. C. Phillips against W. 1
Reed , city treasurer. The demurrer to tr
petition of the plaintiff Is sustained and tr
writ of mandamus to compel the city * trca ;
urcr to pay a warrant for $6.24 , Issued fc
supplies for the fiscal year commcncln
April 1 , 1S98 , out ot the current funds , :
denied.
The defendant demurred to the politic
substantially upon two grounds. First , th :
the present law does not contemplate tl
payment of the warrants for the fiscal yet
commencing April 1 , 1898 , until the wni
rants previously drawn upon the gcncr ;
fund hare been paid ; and , secondly , that
the law docs so contemplate It Is unconst
tutlonal , in so far as It gives precedence i
payment to these new warrants over the :
issued and presented before tbo new coil
went Into effect. The flrst ground of tt
demurrer was not sustained by the cour
Judge Smith giving as his reason that "
Is part of the history of this leglslatto
that Its purpose and design was to put U
cities of this state upon a cash basts , an
with this end In view the new code provide
for the funding of such warrants as tt
ones In question , but docs not make sue
funding obligatory. " In view of tbo hlstoi
of the legislation under consideration Judf
Smith stated that he entertained no doul
but that It was the purpose of this leglslt
tlon to have the current bills paid from tt
current revenues and to enable cities I
take care of their old floating Indebtcdnei
by funding.
In sustaining the second ground ot tt
demurrer Judge Smith held that the wai
rants Issued and presented for paymet
prior to October 1 , 1897. when the new cot
went Into effect , must take precedence I
their order of warrants Issued for the prei
ent fiscal year.
The case , It Is understood , will be at om
taken to the supreme court , where tt
expected a hearing and decision , owing I
the Importance of the question Involvei
can bo had within fifteen days. Judf
Smith's decision , although no surprise I
those Interested , places the employes of tt
city In rather an unfortunate prcdlcamen
They are still holding their warrants fc
last month's salaries , with little or no pro :
pcct , under the present circumstances , i
being able to dispose of them , as none <
the usual purchasers are Inclined to CUE
them. It Is believed that Mayor Jcnninf
will call a special meeting of the city cour
ell to consider the matter and probabl
steps will bo taken by the city to fut
the outstanding warrants , , which amount I
about $136,000 and $7,000 Interest. This
generally accepted to be the only practlci
solution of the matter.
CorrlKK Sue * for IIU Property.
In the superior court yesterday Danl <
Carrlgg commenced suit against the Fin
National bank and others to cancel ac
annul certain assignments of leases to a
of his property. In his petition Carrlg
sets forth that when the assignments wei
made the bank agreed to apply the ren
received In payment of the taxes on tt
property and Interest on the mortgages
to keep the property In good repair ar
apply the net balance on the debt due I
the bank. This the bank , Carrlgg allege
failed to do , but Instead applied all tl
rents received on the debt and allowe
the taxes and Interest on the mortgages i
go unpaid , which precipitated the foreclo :
uro and sale of the property by the flr
mortgagee , the Mechanics' Savings bank i
Providence , R. I.
The property , the rents of which Ca :
rlgg assigned , Is the Bancroft Terrace fla
on Fourth street , the 'Omaha saloon bulli
Ing , the Turf Exchange building , both c
Broadway , and the warehouses occupied t
the Union Transfer company and the Pel
Plow and Implement company. All tl
tenants were made party defendants to tl
suit.

IllH SchdfttiDnr * .
An old schoolmate * ti Commodore Dcwe :
commander of the Atlatlc squadron , wl
won such a signal vleinrr over the Spanlt
at Manila and Cavlto , resides In this clt ;
and tells some Interesting anecdotes of tl
celebrated fighter's boyhood In Vcrraon
says the Cedar Rapids Republican. Commi
doro Dewcy was born In Montpellcr , VI
In 1839 , and at the ago of 11 years was sei
to school at an academy thirty-six miles fro
homo to bo prepared for college , under tt
tutorship of E. K. 1'angborn , who was afte
ward paymaster In the United States nm
during the civil wnr.
Some Interesting anecdotes are told of h
school life , which shows the then buddlr
traits of mind and character which ha1
brought his fleet of boats Into such prom
nent notice before the entire world. Tl
hills around the the little New England vl
lage , where his alma mater was locate
were crowned with sugar maples , and app
orchards , which were th scenes of mat
an escapade.
At one time George Dewey commandi
( as he seemed born to do ) a party of ser
or eight boys on an excursion on a dai
night In September to ono Asher Atwnll
apple orchard. He equipped himself for tl
adventure by removing the pillow cases fro
his bed , and putting them In a roll und
his arm. The result was a return to h
room In the wee sma' hours of the tnornlt
with pillow cases laden with spoil.
On the following morning after usu
chapel exercises were over Prof. Pangboi
announced to the assembled students th
Mr. Atwcll had complained to him of tl
theft of apples from his orchard , and th
It was no secret to him who the thlcv
were , and warned them that should onythlt
of the kind occur again they would bo e :
polled without trial.
Now young Dewey bad a strong susplclt
that the honored head of the Instltuttc
was stretching a point when ho said 1
knew by whom the offense was commltte
so right under the threatening guns of tl
battery he allowed It to come , secretly
course , to Prof. Pangborn's ears that a se
end raid on the orchard would bo made c
the following Friday night. Meanwhile
visit was made to the orchard under tl
cover of darkness , an empty hogshca
propped carelessly on some weak sticks ,
the base of nn apple tree In a consplcuoi
spot on the side hill. When the Frldi
night came Prof. Pangborn , thinking
catch the offenders red handed , proccedi
to the orchard , and seeing the convenle :
barrel , concluded that being a small m ;
ho could conceal hltriselt In the Inside. I
had no sooner crept In than the bombardlt
host , Dewey and anconfedernte , appcare
One addressing the'other , said : "Seo her
Dan , there Is a tree "up there at the top
the hill that has primegrafts * on It. Let
go for those. " And doing IBO Dewey stumbli
against the hogshead an * It rolled with tl
poor professor to th * bottom of the hill.
Of course , Dewey nndi his hard hearti
confederate silently' left'the scene and b
fore the unfortunate'manl In the barrel cou
pick himself together , the ? boys were at hoc
and In bed. jl
It Is needless to say trrat1 after three da

Sioux City Journal : This talk of plttli
our boy oratcr of Nebraska against the b <
king of Spain Is rank Inhumanity. The b
king Is not to blame for being born so at
should not be subjected to the cruel and ui
usual punishment of being talked to death.

WASHINGTON , May 10. Up to the tlm
Secretary Long started for the cablnc
meeting at 11 o'clock today ho was wlthou
Information from Admiral Sampson's flee
concerning any action. All Inquiries aboti
the Navy department were directed tower
the whereabouts ot this fleet and Its proa
pects of a speedy engagement with th
enemy. While there Is little doubt that th
officials know the approximate locality c
the fleet , It Is quite certain that nothtn
has been received ns to the cruising an
search for the Spanish ships. It Is felt the
the next few hours will determine bcyon
further question whether the Spanish tlci
which left the Capo Vcrdo Islands did , I
fact , come to Porto Rico , or diverge north
word back to Cadiz for a formidable con
centratlon of the strongest ships of th
Spanish navy. In the latter event Admin
Sampson will have no Spanish fleet to flgt
save those smaller craft In Cuban water.
It will leave the course free to the Orcgo
to make a Juncture with the fleet and aU
will leave Admiral Sampson's hands free fc
attention to Porto Rico or Cuba.
