4 OCLOCK EDITION Justice Cullen Support the Supervisors In Rejecting His Bid. Patrick J. Carlin's bid of $280,000 was the only ono put In for the construction of sixteen cottages and tho provision of boilers and donkoy engines at St. Johnland. The Supervisors rojoetod tho single bid and roadvertlsod, and Carlln moved in tho Supreme Court for a mandamus to compol tho Supervisors to give him tho contract, although In tho original advortisoment tho Board of Supervisors had reserved the right to reject any bid.

Justice Cullen has Just handed down the following doclslon: While tho statute makes it tho duty of tho Supervisors to award tho contract to tho lowest bidder, tho advertisement, in answer to which tho relator made his bid. resorvod tho power to the Board to reject any and all bids. I think tho relator mado his bid subject to the qualification rojd must be held to havo assented to It If this reservation was so far in excess of tho powers granted by the statute as to be void it might well bo argued that such provision invalidated tho whole letting. This reservation seems to mo to so offect tho whole character of tho bidding under it, that a bidder cannot assort that tho requost or ndverti3omont for proposals was valid, but tho provision that tho Board of Supervisors might reject bids void. Tho rights of tho parties would bo flxod by tho advertisement and tho proposals or bids made in responso to it No action could bo maintained against the Board of Supervisors for a refusal to award tho contract, because tho relator would be held to have bid upon tho conditions proscribed by tho advertisement.

I think the samo principle applies to this application for a mandamus. Tho motion must therefore be douled with $10 costs. GADDED ABOUT. Why Elderly Mr. Getz Beat His Wife.

Ho Snys That She Struck Him First. Grown Up Step Children Accused of Assisting; in tho Work of Yiolonce Alimony Granted in Addition to an Ante Nuptial Fund. Theodore Getz, a resident of New York, is tho defendant in a suit for separation brought by his wife Barbara. In tho Supreme Court Chambors of that city to day Judgo Churchill heard argumont in an application to show causo why Mr. Gotz should not pay alimony aud counsel feos to Mrs.

Gotz ponding tho suit for separation. Lawyor F. Byrne appeared for the plaintiff aud road a long affidavit, alleging various acts of ill troatmont on tho part of tho husband. Tho parties wore married March 8, 1885. Tho husband Is 62 years old aud the wife 41 yoars old.

Tho plaintltr allogos that from the day of her mar rlago Mr. Getz treated her In a barbarous and Inhuman manner, and that his growu up sons and daughters by a first wife did all thoy could to make hor position unbearable. Sho claims that hor husband frequently callod her vilo names, both alone and in the presence of tho servants. On tho night of August 0, 18S6, she alleges he struck her sovoral blows on the head in the presence of a servant. Sho thereupon loft his houso, and hns not sinco lived with him.

Sho claims also that previous to that dato ono of his sons struck hor and knocked hor down, aud numerous othor nstances of disagreomont. Sho asked for support, ponding a suit for soparatlon, aud an allowance of $500 for counsel foes. In tho husband's affidavit ho admits tho striking of his wlfo on August 0, but claims that sho struck him first and had further irritated him by a lack of dovotion to housohold duties and in "gadding about the streots at all hours." He claims that ho cannot bo hold responsible for tho conduct of his children as thoy are all of ago and allogos that their disrespect could not bo wondered at considering tho relations that existed between him and hor for fourteen yenrs boforo thoir marriage. Ho thought that aside from tho assault of August 0, that his wifo had no causo for complaint and ho wishod to havo hor return and livo with him, but said that sho had been Influenced by her lawyer to prosocuto the suit and got all tho money sho could out of him. Ho said furthor that ho was not worth $100,000, as alleged by the plaintiff, but did own somo real estate which was mortgaged.

Ho averred that by an anil nuptial agreement he had sottlod ioOO por year on his wifo and that this was ouough to support hor pending the trial. Sho had also $223 in tho Dry Dock Savings Bank, and had Just boon paid $250 on the anti nuptial agreement. All thiB made Lawyer Byrne very angry, and ho proceoded to cut up Mr. Gotz in a terrible way, saying that tho latter had only allowod his wlfo $3 por week to run tho houso aud that she was obligod to use tho $250 for household expensoa and gavo other minor details of tho domestic economy practised by Mr. Getz.

Tho Court docidod to allow Mrs. Getz $150 for counsol fees aud thought that sho could livo on tho money obtained from her husband on the anto nuptial agreement until tho trial of the suit for separation.

The affairs of Martin Kalbfleisch's Sons were bofore Judge Cullen at Special Term of the Supremo Court to day in reference to a motion to empower Receiver Brookfleld to make certain arrangements in roferonce to the Buffalo chemical works, a concern of which tho firm of Martin Kalbfleisch's 8ons are owners. The roceiver desires to execute a mortgago, upon tho plant, and it is to bo mado undorcertain conditions.

The embarassmonta of tho firm affected tho Buffalo a plan has been dovlsod to extricate It from Its dlfflculllos. It contemplates tho execution of a mortgago for $135,000, which amount will covor its present indebtedness, and certain sums to bo advanced by tho creditors as capital to carry on tho business. Tho concern Is to bo conducted undor tho direction of a committoo of the creditors, and the profits are to bo applied to tho payment of tho interest on the. mortgago and the gradual wiping out of its indebtedness. The debt consists mainly of paper hold by various banks.

About $90,000 of It Is Indorsed by tho Bushwlck Chemical Works, and this plan relieves that concern from the indorsement Nearly all tho creditors of the Buffalo concern have assouted to the plan, and now the authority of court Is askod to make tho mortgage. Judge Cullen said ho was Inclined to grant the order, but tho formal assent of another party was required, and tho matter was put ovor until that Is obtained. Tho gentloman In question has already signified his agreement to the plan. obituary; Supervisor Neil Dougherty.

Louis Firuski, the son and partner of Samuol Firuski tho auctioneer, of ITS Fulton stroet, was arraigned beforo Judgo Walsh yostorday afternoon on complaint of Louis Johnson, a colorod woman, who livos at 77 Willow stroot. Tho complainant stated that on August 1, 18S3, being in want of somo money, she applied to Firuski for a loau of $80, and offored hor piano as socurlty. Tho monoy was advanced and Bho signed a chattel mortgago and another paper, tho contouts of which7 sho did not iuform herself of. Tho defendant told her that It would be necessary for him to have possession of tho piano aud it was accordingly sout down to his father's storo and placed on storage. At tho beginning of last August Mrs.

Johnson saw Firuski, and said she would like to havo hor piano back, at the samo time asking what intorost she had to pay. Sho was mformod that the amount was 80, and furthermore, that she owed $60 for Btorago, bolng nt the rato of $5 a month. Sho was naturally vory much surprised, 03 nothing had boeu said about storage whou the loau was effected. Couusol for the dofouso here put In a paper signod by Mis. Johnson, in which she had agreed to pay tho above charge.

The complainant, resuming her tostlmony, said that she did not know what she was signing, and that when sho domnnded tho piano Firuski rofusod to give it up until tho $60 was paid. Firuski, who is 21 yoars of ago, said that when tho loan was mnde by him ho was only a clerk for his father and received a salary of $10 a wook. IIo used to do a little money lending on his own account boforo bo became his father's partner. Tho storage monoy was duo to tho latter. Tho prisoner's lawyer here remarked that he thought there was nothing whatever In the charge and move 1 that the complaint be dismissod.

Judge Walsli In roplysaid that ho thought there wasagood deal in it. It scorned to him that there was somo Juggling going on botweon tho father and son and the chargo of JG0 for storing a piauo for a year was a most extortionate ono. It looked vory much as if this method had boon hit upon as one whereby tho penalties following usury might bo evaded. Both sides being willing, an adjournment for a week was taken. It Is more than probable that a settloment will be effected out of court.

A PEDDLER'S LICENSE LIMITED. It Doe Not Giro Him tho Right to Obstruct Accens to Stores. John McFnrland, a street vender in Long Island City, brought an action for an Injunction against the corporation and against tho Long Island Railroad Company. Tho ordinances of Long Island City provide that a stroot vendor must first obtain a license from tho city and thou mu3t obtain the consent of the business pooplo fronting on tho streots to soli In front of their premises. The Long Island Railroad owns cousidorable frontage on the streets, and tho relator McFarland claliuod that the prevision lu reference to businoss concerns fronting on the street wbb a restriction upon the city's license, and was unjust and invalid.

Therefore ho obtained a temporary injunction restraining the railroad company from interfering with him In selling in front of Its premises, and askod that It bo made permanent. Judge Cullen to day handed down his doclslon vacating tho injunction, holding that permission to use tho street for purposos of trade was properly subject to tho rights of the owners of tho soil, and that it was thoir right to havo access to their shops or stores unobstructod. Even liconsod peddlers, thereforo, could bo legally prohibited from intor ferlug with the rights of adjacent storekeepers.

Ex Supervisor Wilkes' admission that he participated in profits made on coal contracts with the Court House Committee during 1884 and 1885, while he was a member of that committee, places him on the District Attorney's list The following affidavit from Alderman Itjen, a business associate of Mr. Wilkes, will bo interesting as showing the futility of any attempt to disconnect McDonald and Wilkes: City op Brooklyn, county op Kings, ss: Bibo H. Itjen, of 319 Gold street, being duly sworn, says: I am a coal morchant, doing business at the corner of Union and Bond streets, Brooklyn.

Up to the time D. W. Wilkes became Supervisor 1 furnishod coal at times to the county and never had any trouble. Aftor ho got into the Board I found competition so oloso and so bothersome for Court House coal that I gave up furnishing coal to the Court House. Frequently during Wilkes' incumbency ho sent down to me and bought coal, some of which 1 undorstood and bolievod went into the court House.

Ho would tolophono and ask me how much I would Boll him 25 or 50 tons of broken coal, such as Is used in the Court House furnaces, and send up his carts. I always mado out tho bills to Daniel W. Wilkes Company, and Bout them to him. Ho paid thorn. 1 novor sent any bills to W.

J. Smith or MoDon ald. I always understood that McDonald was a partner of Wilkes; he was so accredited in tho eoal trade, but no bills were over made out to him. He was Wilkes' brother in law. During 1881 and part of 1885, the Court House Committee wore in the habit of inviting bids for overplus coal or extra lots.

Coal merchants would put in sealed bids and the lowest would bo voted to send in about fifty tons. Whon McDonald would get the contract, Wilkes has sent down the following day and bougnt a Blmllar amount of coal, whon ho had none on hand. During 168 1 and 1885, such business dealings as I had with Daniel W. Wilkos wore with Daniel W. Wilkes Company, tho firm being made up or D.

W. Wilkos and H. H. McDonald. The coal trade was novor notidod of a dissolution of partnership.

B. H. Itjen. Sworn to before me thl3 2nd day of September, 1SS0 Geobob II. Prior, Notary Public, Kings County.

At tho District Attorney's ofllco it was stated that the offonse commlttod by ex Supervisor Wilkos is a misdemeanor or a felony, according as ho Is shown to have dolivered full or short weight If tho coal delivered by the Supervisor, In tho name of McDonald or Smith, was full In weight and up to tho agreement in quality, he is guilty of a misdomoanor. If, however, ns Is partly charged, the loads wore light in weight (and Janitor McKlnnoy admits that thoy wore seldom weighed), and that the Supervisor, knowing this, voted for payment of the bills, he is guilty of a felony, and upon conviction may bo sent to State Prison for Ave years or fined $5,000, or both. Misdemeanors, unless othorwise oxprossly punishable, are liable for one year's Imprisonment and $500 flno, or both. FARM FRAUDS. County Legislators Making Efforts to Find Them.

Inspecting the Sower Pipes Furnished by Baillie Wilson The Supervisors State That They Can Discover No Crookedness An Expert's Opinion. Special to the Eagle. ST. JonNLAND, L. Septembor 3.

Supervisor Stylos and other members of tho County Farm Committoo gavo notice to tho public yo3torday that they woro suspicious that Baillie Wilson, of East New Tork, were shipping to Patrick Farroll, the contractor auho St. Johnland County Farm, damagod vitrifled 'sower pipe that had been refused by tho city. Tho committee also gave notice that thoy would investigate tho matter. Tho propor way, doubtless, would havo been to havo investigated tho matter and thon given it to tho public. As a result of this preannouncemont, when tho Supervisors arrived at tho County Farm this morning they found everything all right and nothing to investigate.

The Supervisors who left Brooklyn this mornlug, after heralding their jour noy a day in advanco, woro Messrs. Styles, Pigott, Nolan, Keller aud Morrison. On tho same train woro Charities Commissioners Itay and nynos, who expressed profound surprise that tno Supervisors should be going to St Johnland. They insisted that thoir presence was not caused by tho Supervisors, that thoy (tho Commissioners) woro going to the farm on another mission, namely, to bob If temporary accommodations could be obtained for about eighty additional luuatics from the Flatbush Asylum. Anthony Barrett was also on tho train accommpaniod by his client, Mr.

Baillie. Mr. Barrett was vory Indignant at the charges against Baillie Wilson and said that somebody would have to suffer if he could and out who had started tho damaging stories. Tho party arrived at St. Johnland about 11 o'clock and woro met at tho depot by Commissioner Boovo.

An examination was Immediately mado of sovoral car loads of pipe which wero on a sidetrack. About half tho pipe on one car were broken, which had evidontly boon caused by bad packing. The breakago on tho othor cars was slight Tho Supervisors expressed themselves satisfied that no attempt had beon mado to serve the county with an inferior article. Supervisor Nolan, an oxpert, pronounced tho pipe of excellent quality. Tho investigation up to this point looked vory muou like a monumental farce.

Tho party walked about a mile and a half to where the contractor Is at work. They will devoto the aftornoon to a critical examination, and If any crooked work has not already been coverod up thoy may possibly stumblo over something worth roporttug to tho Board.

i Engeman's Challenge to the District Attorney. Why He Threw Away All at tha Erte'iton Beach Track Iktiing Men and Hookmakers Astonished nt daci'y. The open and defiant violation of tho law against selling auction pools on raws which has indulged in this wook on the grounds of the Brighton Beach Racing Association has attracted tho general attention of raco course nir.n. and thore Is a good deal of curious speculation as to the cause of tho action and what will bo its probable result; for, happening at tho tlmo it doo5, and under existing circumstances, public pool soiling in Kings County is to tho District Attorney's office as deliberate and fair a slap in tho face as could well be undortakc n. Ko ono be lioves that Mr.

Georgo Engemau in permitting this public pool selling on his grounds is soothed by tho hopo that it will go on unnoticed by tho prosecuting oDiciir of tho county, and his nctiou may theroforo be looked upon as a direct hnllougo from a man who has determined upon entering a bitter contest and fighting it out to the end. It also goes without saying that Sir. Engomnu has not gono into tho il; ht without a purpo30 of somo and without a belief that ho has oxcollcut reasons for his prosont extraordinary altitude. In short, if Mr. Engoman falls in tho contest he hopes drag some others down with him.

Tt is gonerally known that beforo tho recent opening of the Brooklyn Jockey Club's meeting Mr. Engomnu proposed to the officers of that organization nud to tho oflicors of tho Conoy Island Jockoy Club that each club Bhould givo up ono day's racing in each wook in favor of tho Brighton Beach Knclng Association. This, tho officers of the tufo clubs promptly rofusod to do, holding Hint as Brighton already had had sixty days' racing during tho prose ut season, and that as thoir own programmes were' thon out and all tho dates set, tho Brighton Association could much better afford to yield somo of Its days, as an accommodation to Its neighbors, than the neighbors could as an accommodation to Brighton. Another reason for tho refusal was that if each club dropped ono day a weok, their meetings would bo prolonged Into October, thus Interfering with tho Jerome Park mooting, which opens September 25. Tho refusal to concur in his proposition was taken in anything but good part by Mr.

Engcman who, notwithstanding tho protests of tho judges and othor officials of tho Brighton Beach track, decided to continue his races on the samo days as those announced on tho programme of tho Brooklyn Jockoy Club. Accordingly, last Monday, the second day of tho Brooklyn Jockey Club mooting, Mr. Engoman, much to tho surprise of everyone, threw opon tho Brighton Beach track for racing. On the same day auction pools were sold openly on tho Brighton Beach grounds in direct violation of the law. On tho othor racing grounds in Kings County thore is some pretense of living up to tho lotter if not tho spirit of tho law, and tlio bookmakers now exact, or profess to exact, a small commission from bettors, a transaction whoso legality Is to bo passed upon bsfore arrests for indulging In It nro mado.

At Briglitou, however, even this disguise was boldly Hung away on Monday and again on Wednesday and again to day. Tho bravado of thiB action at Brighton has astonished all racing men and booksollcrs, and has seemed to temporarily stupefy tho authorities, although one poolsolior has been arrosted and held to await examination. It is, howovor, tho general opinion of mon hitorestod In tho matter that Mr. Engeman has made tho daring move ho has to permit tbo authorities to first arre3t his own bookmakers and poolsollers and then compel thorn to arrest tho bookmakors on tho othor grounds. An employe of tho Brighton Beach Racing Association was askod by an Eahi.k reporter what Mr.

Engeman meant by his action. Ho at first refused to answer, but when comment was mado upon tho risk of tlio proceeding, tho omployo blurted out: Well, If tho Brighton Beach Racing Association is over closod by the action of the authorities, you can bet all the othors will bo closed It is admitted by the officers of the Brighton Boach Racing Association that thoy aro losing monoy on this wook's races. Tho attondance has not boeu 1,000 each day, and throe fourths of the tickots, even thon, aro complimentaries. One result of the opou pool selling at Brighton is that tha commission bookmakers on the othor grounds ore now decidodly cautious. Thoy no longer merely protend to exact a commission from bettors.

Thoy insist upon having it, though the sum, of course, is trivial. It is also surmised that tho trial of the bookmakors now under indlctmout is to bo hastened as tho direct rosult of Mr. Kngoinan's action. Mr. Jerry Wornberg, cousol for the bookmakers, engaged In business on the grounds of tho Coney Island Jockoy Club, haB boon sorved with a notice from tho District Attorney's ofllco to bo roady for the trials of tho cases on tho 13th and llth of the present month.

The bookmakers all bcllove that Engeman's pool selling has hastened the trials. A LICENSE REFUSED And tho Court Will Not Bevcrso the Excise Hoard's IccUion. William McMahon, the proprietor of the Ilaymarket, on Sixth avenuo, Now York, having boon refusod a liconse by the New, York Excise Commissioners because that placo Is ouo of bod repute and has long beon tho resort of immoral persons, applied to Judge Ehrlich, of tho City Court, for a peremptory mandamus to compel the commission to grant him tho license Judge Ehrlich, to day gave a decision denying the application. IIo says that In the Thorn caso, rocontly docided, it was hold that tho action of tho Exciso Board in refusing a HceuBo may now boroviewod if tho reasons for rejecting the application havo no other basis than rumor, suspicion or conjecture that if such reasons aro the supposod existence of fact? assumed or nllogod to bo proved, thoro must bo somothing to which tlio established legal meaning of tho term bo appllod.tending iu somo measure to sustain them and that whilo formerly tho court might intorveno only In caso of some abuse of Its discretion, now it may Interforo, if such discretion ha been orrouoously exorcised.

OTTERSON, He Uses it Vigorously on Mrs. Mpurhy. An Undertaker "Who Was Afraid to Go Across the Street Declining an luYita tion to Stand Up Liko a Man. A lively encounter took placo yesterday aftornoon on tho corner of India stroet and Manhattan avenuo, botwoen William J. Moan, an undertaker, doing business on that corner, aud Mrs.

Murphy, residing in tho neighborhood. The immediate cause of the trouble was a handcart which Moan had taken away from a boy. Mrs. Murphy saw the act aud at onco waxed bo indignant that sho crossed the street an told the undertaker "Just what sho thought of him." IIo replied, ond thoy clinched. Tho woman scratched Moan's face and pullod his hair.

Stepping back he grasped a large cowhide and laid it sharply several times ovor her shoulders; causing hor to retreat a few stops. Ho solzod the opportunity to retiro into his Btore and bolt tho door. Mrs. Murphy, when she saw her antagonist escaping hor, rushed at tho door and poundod vigorously on It, loudly calling on him to como out and stand up liko a man." Mr. Moan, howover, had had enough of standing up like a man, and remained within.

Mrs. Murphy stood on the sldowalk for about half an hour, calling on him at frequout intervals to como out She thon withdrew to her apartments, across the street, and took up a position at a window. Mrs. Murphy and Moan have boen at swords' points slnco Saturday, and yoBtorday's Incident was but tho eruption of a slumbering volcano of anger that would not down. On that day a Mrs.

Gilfoli, who occupies the apartments on tho samo floor in the roar of Mrs. Mur phys, saw Moan in the yard of his stablo beating a horso. She thought he was treating It rathor brutally and drew Mrs. Murphy's attention to It. That woman is moro hasty than Mrs.

Gllfoil, and sho at onco callod Moan "a coward and a bully to treat a poor dumb beast liko that" Moan, according to the statement of tho two women, roplied In Ianguago not fit for pollto ears. The women could not forget tho Incident, and when thoy saw Moan tako tho cart away from the boy yostorday, Mrs. Murphy at onco went to tho lad's assistance. Mrs. Murphy says Moan struck her first acroBS the forohoad with tho cowhido and that she only took hold of him to protect horBolf.

Mrs. ilf oil says that Moan has abused both her and Mrs. Murphy scandalously and has accused tho former on every possible occasion of not having paid for tho burial of her child. Mrs. Murphy's arms show tho marks of tho cowhide and her fingers, which have been cauterized, boar tho impression of Moan's teoth.

Moan's faco this morning presented a decidodly battered appearance. It is all scratched and torn and his lips aro swollen to twice their normal size. He said that tho boy with tho cart was his nophew and owed him monoy. He took the cart away in Jest Jocularly tolling tho lad that ho would havo him arrostod for "selling without a license." IIo was vory much annoyod when Mrs. Slurphy crossod tho street to him.

"Sho picked up a chair," said Mr. Moan, "and threatened to brain me with it I told hor to put it down and Bho thon rushod at me, scratched my face and tried to teur my mouth open. I struck hor once with my whip In solf dofouso, and then wont to my storo. I was afraid to cross ovor to my stablo last night, and overy timo I did so I carrlod a knife for protection. Tho wouion pelted me with teacups and bottlos on each visit." Moan was arrosted and flnod, a llttlo moro than a month ago, for firing a revolver In tho streot and acting in a boisterous mannor.

She was about 19 years old, extromoly nervous, and evidently unused to police court surroundings. Sho wore a straw colored dross, a sailor hat with a white feather in it, and carried in hor hand a small sunshade of a rather striking pattern.

She whispered to the Judge that If It was not too much to ask she would like him to give her some advice In a matter which materially concernod herself. Being encouraged to proceed she said that her name was Florence Fearsall and that she lived In Wllliamsburgh. She had beon a witness in the proceedings instituted against William G.

It may seem strange that at this tlmo I should make this declaration. Alas I I cannot refrain from so doing. For many years I havo patiently looked forward toward having a partner lu life, but could novor see the one on whom I could bestow all my affection and love until I behold thoe. You may think mo bold by making this declaration of my love.

Ever sinco our first meeting I have earnestly tried to consider tho idoa of love as being something vague, but the moro I gave a thought to any such Idea my whole self became more deeply contorod In your welfare. I theroforo most earnestly ask tho following questions, viz. Can you love? Have you evor loved? Could you learn to love? If so Impart some of these blessings upon me, and I sincerely promise that you will novor have cause to regrot and will novor know sorrow. 1 am partial, not rash. I do not Immediately ask a definite answor.

All that I would at prosont request would be for you to grant mo an intorvlow at an early period. Time and placo being left to'your own selection. Thon we could hotter talk tho mat tor and more fully understand each other. Trusting that you will accord mo on oarly answor, and hoping that the interview prayed for will bo granted, I am yours, most lovingly, KEIQNALD A. MOBDECAI, 340 Fulton stroot Brooklyn, N.

Condition of the Treasury Aid fcr Charleston Sufferers. Mr.

E. B. Cndley, the clerk of the Board of Estimate, was at the City Iiall to day to obtain the requisition already sent In on account of tho Twenty sixth Ward, which will come before tho Board on Monday noxt. Under section 9 of tho au noxation law, that Board must estimate, fix and dotermlno what sum of money the new ward ought to bo chargod with and'pny, for and on account of city expenses and bridge interest from the time the act took offoct (August 1) to January 1, 18S2. It is said that all tho additional exponses created by tho now ward must bo paid by it alone, in addition to which it must pay its share of bridge iutorost.

Tho amount required for city expenses will bo ascertained by roqusltions from the heads of departments. Nevertheless tho law devolves upon tho old town officers a duty In connection with this work, but thoso gentlemen claim that thoy are out of placo, and will not act. Section 6 of this law provldos, among othor things, that all officers, boards and bodies now chargod by law with any duty In fixing or correcting valuations for tho purpose of taxation, or In fixing or determining thoamounts to bo raised by taxation, or in levying any tax In tho town, shall proceed with their respective dutlos so that tho tax upon tho property and Inhabitants of said town for tho year eighteen hundred and eighty six shall bo finally apportioned aud lovied In tho snmo raannor as though this act had not boen passed. That Is to say, the Fire, Police, Schools and Highway Commissioners and other officers shall say what amounts shall bo raised for thoir respective purposos. Thon, for Instance, If tho Board of Estimate shall decide that a larger amount shall bo raised, tho difference shall bo taken from tho fund provided for In the 6th section of tho law and tho deficiency shall bo mado up thereafter from tho tax levy.

It is claimed that under section 9 thoso town officials Bhould havo acted last month, and that thoy may yot be compelled to act by a mandamus. Mr. Cadley says that thoy are still in office, according to a provision of section 7, which says that tho terms of offices of all other officers and boards, commissions and commissioners of said town (oxcept tho constable), and of every department and district thereof, shall cease and do termlub at tho time this act shall tke offect, oxcopt only when In such cases as It shall be necessary that such ofllcos should be continued for the purposo of carrying out tho provisions of this act, and in such casos such officers aro continuod In office for tho purpose aforosnid and for no othor purpose. The excoption in question, ho holds, applios to these very officials. It is probable that the matter will como up in somo shape at tho mooting of tho Board of Estimato next weok.

ALL IN RUINS. Charleston's Buildings But Crumbling Crusts. Newspaper Eeports of tho City's Condition Not at All Exaggerated Beginning the Work of Clearing the Streets Belief Measures la Many Places. Charleston, S. September 3.

A United Pross correspondent who arrived at Charleston this morning from Washington with a somewhat sensational yot unbiased Idea of the condition of the city from tho effects of tho oarthquako, lias made a careful examination of tho situation and gives as his host opinion that tho press reports that have boon sent out have not only not boen exaggerated but havo fallen short of description of tho devastation. Charleston Is but trembling crust of ruins lhi9 morniug, and her jnoat substantial buildings appear to hang together only by tho hairs in tho mortar. The pooplo are yot terrorized, and consternation, though not as high as twenty four hour3 ago, abounds. For the first time in two days mon havo begun to clear away tho debris and tho streets bogln to present scones of Industry instead of sorrow alono. Tho railroads are all open to tho city.

Tho stroet cars have resumed operations and occasional pleasure vehicles are seen, all prosontlng Bomo of tho usual sights of the Metropolis of tho Carolinas. Up to this time the fault with the pross roports tias rostod with tho demoralized condition of tho legraph facilities. This includes the wiros, the atteriOB and the operators. Tho wiros woro vory generally destroyod by tho falling buildings in Charles on. The heavy strings of wires from tho general offices pass up the center of tho etroeta until they teach the regular Hues of polos, and tho telephone poleB are supported by cross wires.

Somo of tho strings of wires extend throo or four squares in distance, and at points aro not over flffoon foot above the ground. Tho falling buildings in many instances twiBted the wiros Into compact cables, Which could not bo disentangled. A fow new wiro3 have been put up, the linomon working day and night I have not slept a wink for throo nights," said tho foreman of one of ttio gangs to day, "and I would not repeat tho work I have douo during thla time for the whole telegraph company." The Southern Telegraph Company aro rendering prompt service, but aro ovorwholmod by business. The Western Union Company insures "reasonably prompt" sorviee to Washington, New York and Intermodiato points. The sorvlco in tho South Is as yot demoralized.

Tho operators, who havo hitherto beon pretty shaky, and in many iustances rofusod to work in buildings, aro returning to their Instruments, which aro now locatod mainly in frame structures. No one at the Mills ITouso was Injured. All tho guests and other occupants aro safo, but it is difficult to Una them, thoy being camped somewhere In the streets. Thl3 morning's Setea and Courier announces In double loadod head lines that Charleston Is ready for business despite tho earthquake and lis ravages;" that "the warehouses give amplo accommodation; tho wharvos arc in excellent condition; the compresses are fully up to thoir work, and tho merchants and factories, undaunted by misfortune, have girded up their loins anew for tho battle of commercial life." Continuing it says: "Charleston, we say, is as well able as over to transact nny busi ness that can bo obtained and is ready as over to give oustomers from evory part of the country tho commercial facilities they requiro and attoutlon and good faith thoy havo a right to expect Let it not be imagined for a moment that Charleston la sitting In tho ashes bowailing tho loss of millions. Tho full consciousness of tho loss is It is understood fully that far moro than tho earnings of a twelvomonth was swept away in less than a moment.

But for all this and because of this Charleston is only tho moro determined to maintain the commercial position It has won, and is for tunntoly so situated as to bo ablo, as well as ready, to deal successfully with evory department of trade and every branch of businoss." An appeal Is made to the City Council for mono tary assistance in the form of an appropriation, but the Sews and Courier admonishes thoso who oxtond aid to confine themselves in so doing to pooplo In clr cumstancesor conditions rendering them unable uow to help thomsolves. Vory little, up to this writing, has boen done to relievo tho city of its appoaraneo of desolation. As tho oyo takes in tho longth of a street It ie met by heaps of debris of evory posBlbio description bricks, stone, plaster, lath, shingles, lumber, household and office furniture and all kinds of building material in a mass. Whole fronts or sides of buildings havo fallon out, leaving the furnishings in some Instances Intact. Tho walls of tho building in which this dispatch is writton aro cracked and the heavy chimney seems roady to topple over.

A reporter has just made a tour of that portion of the city mostly disastrously visited. The buildings damagod woro old structures, the buildings of more recent construction having quito gonerally escaped. The damage to houses destroyed, owing to thoir character, cannot therefore bo approximated at this time. Ten millions will, however, not be far out of the way. There are fow visitors hero to day.

Con fidence has not boen sufficiently restored to invito them to the city. Inquiries continue to pour in from frionds of Charlestonians in dlrforont parts of tho country concerning the loss of life. Tho search for the dead is progressing, but it is believed tho bodies have all boen found. This forenoon tho employes of tho Southern Tolograph Company roturucd to their main office, on Broad streot, clearod up thoir detailed work and resumed their unhampered service. Tho public parks of tho city worn crowded witli homoless cltlzons last night Not a fow slept on tho sldowalk uudor suspendod overcoats.

Othors enjoyed reposo under opon umbrellas, the handles of which wore stuck in tho ground. Tho moro aristocratic populace camped in their own yards. Tho colored pooplo continue to givo ovidonco of Buperstitious notions and say thoy will nut return to their homes until another night has passod. They were to bo seen to day supping their coffee and eating thoir dry bread in prayerful silenco beside tho places whore thoy had slept. KEl.IBP MEASURES.

Soptombor 3. Tho permanent Citizens' Committee as well as Several prominont citlzous havo called meetings for to day for tho purpose of aiding tho sufferers by tho oarthquako in Charleston. Tho Citizons' Committee have an unexpended balance from previous reliof funds, which in all probability will form tho uou clus of a fund for aiding tho Charleston unfortunates. Washington, Soptombor 3. Subscriptions for the relief of tho Charleston sufferers havo been started In tho sovoral Oovornmont departments hero.

Tho merchants of tho city aro also engaged In preparing contributions of clothing and starting relief funds. Thoro aro quito nuniber of South Carolinians employed In tho varl oub departments horo and their anxiety for information from home lu many instancos has boen really touching. Many of tho employos In tho Treasury Department have contributed small sums of money for tho roliof of tho sufferors and noarly 100 thuB subscribed have already boen telegraphod by Controllor.of tho Currency Treuholm to tho city authorities at Charleston. Tho Evening Cl itic has a substantial fund undor way and in several of tho banks and largo businoss institutions a gonorous spirit is manifestod in offors to contribute.
