(Gmrwiiwrf on Second 1NFIKMABT rrairrmar I'M Htf For several put the count commissioners have refused to pay ii Drmary director Vlnnedge his 914 month for services as clerk of tbe in firmary board, on tbe ground, as coin mlssloner Murphy puts it, that there i no law authorizing such payment. Th: bill has been paid for years and wa paid to Mr. Vlnnedgc promptly evei month up to about four and a ha months ago, since which time the $14 mouth compensation has been with held. An opinion of the law was aske of Prosecutor Smith some time ago am he has submitted the following reply to your reques for my Instruction of Section 968 of Re vised Statutes of Ohio, as whether th clerk of the infirmary board is entitle to receive pay for his services as sue clerk.

Section 961 of the revised statutes Ohio requires thai there shall be a boar of infirmary directors. Same sectioi also requires that they shall organiz and elect one of their members clerk said board, who shall keep the minute and record the proceedings of the meel ings of said board and all their transac tlons. Section 988 as amended in laws Ohio volume 82 laws page 14, pro "Thecounty comrnlssToners low the directors for their services at tending the regular and called meeting of said board, such sum as they ma deem reasonable, not exceeding 50 day, and a reasonable compensation fo extra services rendered." Now I am of the opinion, from the fac that one of their members must be chosen as clerk of the board, and that the clerk has a duty to perform to wit: Keep an accurate record of their meetings an all their transactions as such board, ant by implication such clerk should be en titled to receive compensation for such services rendered by him as such clerk for said board. And a fair and reasonable construction of eairt section 968 as amended means tha such duties as are by law required to be performed by said clerk are extra service. and he is entitled as such clerk to re oeive a reasonable compensation for such services.

Respectfully submitted, C. J. SMITH, Pros. Att'y. September 4,1887.

A ROYAL CELEBRATION- Tbe Members of Miami CInb Appro primely Observe St. Jackwm'a A Happy Presentation Able Address by Ben Hnrwllz. Last evening the commodious rooms occupied by the Miami club were filled with members and their friends the oc casion being the observance of St. Jackson's day by that organization. Before the speaker of the evening was intro duced, however, it was deemed necessary to perforra some preliminary business of a not altogether unpleasant character.

This business was in reality a skillfully concocted surprise which was store for one of the official members 'f the club, and after a few well chosen Dd pardonably thioatening remarks by F. B. Puthofl and Judge Berry, Allen Andrews expressed the opinion that the mportant duty of the moment demand that some impartial person should iccupy the chair and give the nteded tirection. Judge Berry was thereupon hosen for the At this junct- ire Mr. Puthoff arose and in a neatl porded speech referred to ex-President 'homas' past relations to the aithful, zealous, self-sacrificinK efforts the interests of the organization, 'hen, bringing into view a handsome, old headed cane, the speaker said in onclusion: '-Accept this cane, Mr.

'homas, and when you read the in- cription on it, remember that the boys vho presented you with it, have hearts latbeatin sympathy with you, and hat the donors shall ever hold in grate- ul remembrance the many favors you avo shown Miami club from time to me." Mr. Thomas was taken completely by urprise, and for some momenta he eemed to be decidedly puzz'ed. The members could uo longer contain them lives and their suppresied laughter ow broke out until complete happiness nd hilarity beamed from every counte- ance. When quiet was restored, Jlr. homaa arose, and with deep emotion aid he had not anticipated such a pleas ig surprise, but was profoundly grate- ul for the expression of esteem in which was held by the members of the club.

He said ho bad endeavored, while preai- ent, to do bis best for the advancement Miami e.ub, and continue to do bis best for that organization. Mr. Thomas' remarks were received ith loud applause. The cane bears the m.ieription:"Marc6llU8 Thomas rom Miami Club, Jan. 1S90, Hamilton, bio.

The presentation over, Judge Berry in- oduced the speaker of the evening, Ben arwitz, who spoke on the charac- er and achievements of Andrew Jackon, The address was able and appropri- te, well received and elicited, hearty at intervals. Referring to the of tha meeting Mr. Harwitz said: 'Ours is tbe pleasing task to brighten he chain which memory con- ect Andrew Jackson, the patron saint, ith the present and fature. We meet ere tenlght to commemorate the virtue of one who shad his blood for our ndependence, took part In winning the and forming the institutions of IB west, and was Imbued with all the Teat Ideas which constitute the moral irce of our country. What the 25th of December la to tbe Christian, and the 4th July to the American, the 8th of Janary is to the democrat.

It in the annl- eraary of the battle of New Orleans, tbe reatest and mightiest achievement of bis wonderful man; and tonight, from nd to end of our country, wherever emdcraU are assembled, the ttory of that battle Is again told. The speaker then dwelt at considerable ength upon the history of Andrew early lite and military achleve- Referring to the battle of New Orleans D. W. FITTON Co To be certain that you buy your Cloaks right, the correct stylos and makes, and the right and correct prices, you should see ours. Our styles are all new, of this season's pattern and of the best manufacture, and we guarantee our prices the very lowest.

We have reduced the price until they are cheaper than the manufacturers' prices. We show large line of Fancy Silk Table Covers at moderate prices. D. W. FITTON Co he said At last the morning of the 8th 3f January dawns on the Valley of the lississippi.

Nine thousand British roops, the llower of the English army, were opposed by but three thousand and even hundred raw militia and rille- en. A thick fog that obscured the orning enabled them to advance with- a short distance of the intrenchments. ackson beheld the long columns ad- ancing, their scarlet and steel glitttering the morniug light. Now and then a ky rocket shot in the air, making wild lusic with the elements. The first ball lat passedhim, Jackson saluted with, Welcome, thou first visitor from a British have I sought to aeet thec; now is our day of reckoning." lowly and steadily the long columns re advancing; all is silence beyond There stands Jackson like tars' statue, his eyes glaring fire, his rawn sword ready to wave a deadly alute.

Presently the air is ains down on the devoted columns hail nd fire and brimstone and iron and ead. It seemed as if the earth belched orth thunder and opened its devouring aws to swallow them. Behold you, long ne of glittering scarlet and moke and cries and consternation. The are wavering; they are retiirn- ng from tbe field. The battle of New Orleans is ended.

Thousands of British ead encumber the field, while he American loss, in killed and rounded, is but thirteen. History records no victory like this. It as the last great act of the war. Its mracter impresses itself upon all minds nd hsarts beyond the power of words. In conclusion the speaker said: Let he young man who is ambitious for me read and reflect upon tho noble sample which he will find in the life Andrew Jackson.

Let him believe hat the obstacles which lie between him nd the summit of his hopes will vanish ke snow flukes beneath the rays of tbe un, by labor, temperance, peiseverance nd virtue. When we have aoollshed hose laws under which an artificial ristocracy is created, teach him, if he dshes to keep these opportunities open, must the party of re-action, of monopolies and seetional hatred, and oln the part; of progression that does ot point to the glories of the past to title it to ride in the future, but to ast performance to show what it will when holds.the helm of arty whose whole political faith may said In three and law. A unanimous vote of was ex- inded to Mr. Harwitz for his eloquent nd well prepared address. Allen Andrews then arose and pre- mted the claims of tbe association nvlBg charge of the Jackson hermitage Tennessee, stating that it -is the wish the association to raise $160,000 to re- tore and preserve tho hermitage and lake It the most sacred spot In all the Southland.

He appealed to the Miami ub to take action on the matter and fee chairman appointed Allen rook Sanders and Thoniae Uoyd a ommittee to receive sums for that par- pose. The meeting then adjourned.
