they were willing te abandon the pike
from Third sticct te New Second hticct if
the council would take it off their hands.
Referred. Tlie question of extending the
opera house store rooms was indefinatcly

discussed at some length and a letter from
the architect of the building had been
read. The maiket ordinance offered

lows : "That the clerk of the market shall

THE FINANCK COMMlTTKi:
Netice te the City Treasurer
At a meeting of the finance committee
held at Alderman Barr's office last evening
the following action was had :
On motion of Mr. Mc.Mullcu the city
treasurer is te be notified te place the
water rent duplicate for 1880, into the
hands of the mayor forthwith in accoid acceid
ance with sec. 11, page 103 of digest of
ordinances of 1875.
In compliance with the above notice the
city treasurer at ence placed the duplicate
in the hands of the mayor. The section
referred te pieviilcs that the duplicate
shall be made out en or before the 1st 'of
April and placed in the hands of the
treasurer, te whom the rent shall be pay
able. .On all tents paid en or before the 1st
of June an abatement of 5 per cent, is al
lowed, between the 1st of June and 1st of
.July the whole amount is icquiicd, and
after July 1st 5 per cent, added. On the
first Monday in September the treasurer
shall return te the mayor the duplicate
with a list of any rents that may be then
unpaid ; and the mayor shall immediately
place the same with the duplicate in the
hands of an alderman for collection, etc.
Such is the law, but for some years past
the custom sanctioned by the finance com
mittee has been te place only a list of the
unpaid rents in the hands of the mayor.
The delinquents were then notified thai
suit would be brought if the rents were
net paid within a given time ; aud this war,
supplemented by a personal visit te the
delinquent by the superintendent of water
works with a notice that the water would
be shut off if the rent was net paid.
This custom resulted in securing a much
fuller and mere prompt payment of the
water rents than under the old plan and j
at much less cxpense te the city, and
would probably have been continued had
it net been for the dispute which has been
recently going en between the treasurer
and the finance committee.
Anether meeting of the finance commit
tee is called for Monday evening, the pur
pose being a fuller investigation of the
treasurer's accounts.
The County Debt.
The ceuuty commissioners have deter
mined te fund the county debt, which new
amounts te about $369,000, in new regis
tered coupon bends, te bear 4 per cent, in

Tlie Arabs.
This forenoon a troupe of Palestine

costume and attracted a great deal of at
tention. They appear in the opera house
te-night.
The Veidest Day.
Thermometers in several different pjits
of the city this morning marked C degree;,
above zero. This is one degree colder
than it has pievleusly been this winter.
This afternoon the mercury registers 23

High Life in Tens.
Six ruffians rode up te the store of Rus
sell Brethers, at Pert Oak, near Jacks Jacks
ero Texas, en Thursday evening, and,
after buying $200 worth of goods, invited
Abuer Russell te go outside. He went out
and was shot dead. The gang then re
entered the store and shot Jehn Russell,
inflicting what is probably a fatal wound.
Citizens are in pursuit of the murderers.
Charles Marshall, a rough, who had mur
dered an inoffensive old man, was taken
from the sheriff and banged by a mob, at
Belleville, Nevada, en Thursday.
