FRESNO WEEKLY BEPUBLIOAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19 1892 TIWOOfTOfN Rumors as to the tlie NO ENGINE TO BE ORDERED Report That County Clerk William Is to Besign-- TViiere IB Tliat Keport? Tan city is in the hands of tbe Democ racy, Tbo delegates from the outsic diatricta had arrived in large number last evening and they must have realizet that their welcome iraa hearty and cor dial. If they didn't realize it last even ing they will this morning, for, "Oh What a difference in the morning," Ba the boys really bohaved veiy nicely tuu they had a jolly time, aa will their asao- eiatea who may arrive here today. TUB committee will meet in the cit hall at 2 o'clock, and the indication now are that the seBBion will ho a shor one. It is generally understood tht th idea of electing tho delegates to the Btat convention by tho committee bus bee abandoned, and the rest of the work wi not be dillicult to dispose of. In tb evening the boys will attend tho Ircqtioi meeting aud subsequently be entertaine at a banquet at tho Barton cafe.

I HEAR that the triangle is up in arms once moro. It scorns that Mr. Higgins chief engineer of the fire department has filed a bond that is not acceptable This instrument recites that tho chie wae elected by the board of fire delegate and confirmed by the council. This i not satisfactory to tho august city fathers Tbey insist upon a bond that will say that Ihe chief was elected by tbe council. As this demand has not been complied with it is tjiven out quite freely that the board will oa Monday evening declare the office of chief engineer vacant ant proceed to elect a Democrat thereto.

Mr. Grady mafces tbe startling assertion tba the board will not only do this, but tba it will remove all paid niembera of tho department and Bubstitute Democrats, This ia the sentiment. It is what the triangle has beon aiming at right along. This hag been the plan of campaign. II now remains to be Bean if they havo the nerve to carry out tho program.

IP they do an expensive litigation will ensue, as the fire department will carry the whole caao into the courta, even to the last resort. In this the bova will bave ihe sympathy and support "of the whole people, who fail to see why this rumpna should be raieed over the only really efficient department of (he city government. I DEAR tbat it is tbe council not to order an engine to replace the rejected Waterous. The Silaby will be repaired as best it can bo done here and the pre ent apparatus be made to answer another year. I am inclined to "think that there is no mnlice in tbia change ot program tbat it is not done to apite the firemen, but is a move in eood faith, There are same citizens who incline strongly to this idea.

I am satisfied, however, that they do not know tho real condition of the Silsby. She cannot be thoroughly repaired here. Tbe only way to pnt ber iu good condition is to Bend her to tho Bhop0. It should also be remembered that while tbe repairs are being made here the engine will be out of service and $10,000,000 or more of pioperty will be protected by an old third class engine. Is not, the risk too great a one to take? I HEAT! a rumor to the effect tbat County Clerk A.

0. "Williams haa determined to rfBign about March 1. a told that it the recent decision of the supreme court shall stand, to the effect that all county official a shall pay their own deputies, quite a number of county officers will resign. TheirsalarieB would not be sufficient to pay their deputies. Bat tbia does not eeem to cut any figure in Mr.

Williams' case. He seems to iiave becomo weary of office-holding, aud baa made a business connection 'that promises well. He has become the Pacific coast agent of the Pearl Steel windmill and steel towers. IF all the old county officials should re- aign wouldn't it wonderfully simplify the fall campaign. WHAT has become of tbat "supplementary report" to which the grand jury referred? It doesn't seein to materialize.

The report of the grand jury Bays: "We append hereto a partial report of these esperta (county expert accountants) showing tha relation ot the county to the various officers so far aa fees are concerned on June 1, 1891, and we recommend that proper action be taken to Battle the game." Who owee fees that should be settled? How can a county official owe fees without committ'ng an indictable offense? Where is this report? It is not on file and the most dili- fent search haa failed to bring it to light, would be interesting to Bee this report in print. DQX'T be too bard on the girls, if they Ere a little flirtitiona. Girls will be girls, just SB boys will be boys, nnd more than 90 per cent of them are aa good as gold. What they need is a little more parental oversight. It ia better that a mother should devote her time to the training ol ber daughter than to the clothing of the heathen in foreign lands.

Pretty, bright and vivacious girla away from their matbers and without restraint of any sort will find plenty of mischief to do. And if thoy do, the blame should be laid wheie it belongs. TIIIJ suit which hea just been brough against the Kings River Lumber company in San Francisco, by Valentine Gadsden for the modeatsum of $250,000, givca the ricb concern and its friends in this county no uneasiness. Gadaden flays the Kings river people agreed to deliver him some real estate in this county and failed to do so until be could not I atn afraid Gadeden will become a very "ohfman before he will own part of the King's Biver Lumber company's immense plant, THEATER GOERS flay that Bobby Gaylor in "Sport McAllister," a farco comedy which will appear hsre on Monday evening, is the quintessence of the ludicrous. It is Bald by (hose who haue Been the play tbat it IB the funniest on eartb, THE lovers of the old standard dramna will be delighted to bear that Miss Gale, tbe talented and rieine artiste, wilt soon be at the Barton.

Tho American 1 boyiaay not explode a single pack to aronae the eagle on the Fourth of July, but tbe Mongolians are permitted to keep up a continual roar for a month. Will Mayor Cole look Into this? I BBB that the Savings and Loan Society oi San Francisco bus bought 40,000 of 7 per cent echool bonds from the town Pomona, paying 5 per cent premiu therefor. This should bu a pointer the Fresno school trustees.

In his statement imblished in Tii REPUBLICAN thfc morning, and which tiave been permitted to Bee, L. B.

He strikes strafg from the shoulder and mentions name dates and places so particularly tbat an ono who may care to take tho troub can learn for himself if all be eaya ia absolutely true. A well known politician verging on SO, was heard to say iu th offitoof Robert Pwria yesterday that state senator bad actually bee doaed by Mr.

Mcffhirter. Th was not even charged in th report of the investigating committe The very worst thing said by the lobby ists being that McWhirtor desired drug a senator, Now that McWbirte ias proved his complete innocence any connection with tbe scheme, by th only witnesa wbo said one word to detriment before the investigating com mittee, I suppose the libel will be pe mitted to dio. It baa badly miscarriet and proved a roorback. CARLOS. F-LAG PRESENTATION.

ATTAPlf AW AlfTO AllAUv ALuii ably Discharged. GENERAL ALGEK DENIES Till Interview With Major G. B. Osmu Formerly Alger's Private Secretary. Tho telegraphic report of tlie altack the New York Sun upon tha militar career of General Alger waa read wii considerable indignation by a number G.A.It, men last evening.

Editor Dana Bays that there exia among tbe official records tho war partment a recommendation tbat Alge be dishonorably dibchurgcd for being a sent from hia command without leav In consequence of tbia lecommendation tho editorial continues, Alger waa di charged from the service on Septemba 20, 1804. It so happens tbat there is in Freen nt this time a gentleman wuo was one General Alger'a private secretary, ant whose relations with the governor wor )od still are of the closest, namely Major Gil JR. Oamuu, Upon being showr tho telegraphic report by a KEPbuncAh reporter, Major Osmun said: "I have little to add to the denial aaneral Alger himself. Tho charge IB an absurd one and by no means new, it may not bave attained aucl wide circulation aa seems the case this time. Why, if you wera to tell any Michigan mule tbat the general was no i gallant aoldler he would kkk jour rain3 out!" Here tho major got tbe Michigan Ret Jook, an official record oi tho Michigan organizations during the nar.

It waa compiled by Adjutant General Roberton from official documents both in ilichigau and at Washington. Turning General Alger'a name it waa fount liat bo had resigned on September 20, 864, being then colonel of tho fifth Jichigan cavalry. "Now," continued Major Osmun. Alger waa brevetted twice alter he hat eft the service-- brigadier general Unitec tales volunteers on October 10, 18C3, 'for aflant action and meritorious rank from tba battle of TreviHian Juno 11. 1804; and major gen- ral United States volunteers on June 11, for meritorious service during the war.

Dou't they see the preposterous- esa of tbe charge that ho waa dishonor- bly dismissed? Do they suppose he have been brevetted twice in the atter event? "Then if further proof wero wanted iere is I a i a being a member tho Cr.A.K, No ono can become a member of ibat aruaufratiun ho cimnor low an bonorable discharge. Again, ie geneial is a member of the Loyal and was onc; department com- ander of tbat organization. He could ever have becomo a member of it, how- ver, had there been the least blemish his military record. The rscord oi very applicant for membership is osely looked into. "The circumstances are just as stated ty the general.

The affair originated in 16 quarrel between General Ouster and Iger on account of tho former's irother, Tom, whom General Cueter rished Alger to appoint lieutenant in iis regiment. Alger refused to do so lecauEQ be did not think it just to pronto an outsider into his regiment wben icra were deserving men in tbe ranks, 'orn waa at this timo corporal of the 'wenty-firet Ohio infantry. Tbe reason uster wnnt him promoted to lieuten- ut BB iu order that he might have him rve on staff. There is nothing in he atory."

First to redeem my proiuisa made la 1 week to fell what a Welsh rarebit pail ia. There doesn't seem to bo muc poetry about a Welsh rarebit, wbateve its gastronomic charms, yet tho ianetio at which it figures can bo made fl ver pretty affair.

They usually take ptac abont 10 o'clock in the evening, and th party assembled ia always supposed he particularly fond of Weleh rarebi and BftEa' alo, for that ia all they get with the exception, perhaps, of eom olives. All the table decoratioua mna )e yellow.

Usually the parties number about oJeht, and tho hostees standiug at the table makes ia the silver chafing dish the Welsh rarebit for her friends. What a boon the installment plan is such, impecunious members of society aud some very dear friends oino.

I have no lompiaint to make against these peop'e, emg one of tbem but I do detest those mug aristocrats wbo try to purchase alvation on the installment plan. Thoy make their payments religiously everi onday, but the coin they offer is con- idered counterfeit by the good Lord. Why do we wait to get a'l our novelties rom Europe in miltera social and fash- oncble? The reason I aek is because 1 iave learned recently that there is in Vicuna a club of rich, men pledged to marry poor girls.

If member marries rich girl he is fined $2000, the money iBine presented to some worthy im- lecnnious couple engaged to be married, sn't that too nice for anything? Sup- oae we had a club in Fresno compoeec i such, wealthy and charitably disposed iung men aa Stony, Am, Johnny, Frank Will, Louis and the rest of lem-- with whata nuij they uoult themselves on and marry an heiress, eo that they ight present a thousand or two to same eserving young couple whom grim pov- rty separates. In about another week Judge Crichton nd hia charming bride will take up leir residence in the cosy lioma the ndge bas been having built.

From lie Daily of Fa The final scene in the Murphy ca was enacted yesterday afternoon a about 2 o'clock, when the jury relume a verdict oE not guilty. The morning session was occupied Distr-ct Attorney Tnpper, wbo inado tb closing argument. It waa a maaterly fort, but the trouble waa that the prosecution had a weak case and no amount ot ability could havo turned sympathy against tho defendant. It was one of bat kind oE eases where men EEora to be guided by Eentimeut rather tban by strict justice in coming to a decision. The jury forgot or disregarded the fact tbat it waa the woman wbo pursued the mar, and uot tho man the woman.

They remembered only that the victim bad in addition to dishonoring the defendau alao abused him, Tbey held that an offense against the family was deserving of eath and acquitted Murphy. A largo crowd gathered in tbe court room when it was learned the jury hai ound a verdict. Tbe defendant came Bomewhat late. There was no sign ear in his swarthy, stoical countenance. lia father Gat nest to him and Geemet ouch affected.

His head waa lowered in is left hand, while the fingers of bis gbt twitched uervoualy. When the oreman announced tho' verdict makio iis Eon a free man he looked UD with a ook of relief upon hia age-seamed couu- enance.
