Fortunately none of tho cases which caused tho alarms wero serious. After having two runs between two and four o'clock yesterday afternoon the depart ment was called out again shortly before six o'clock last evening by an alarm sounded from box No. 32, corner of Jardiu and Oak streets. A lamp had exploded in tho house of Mrs. Elizabeth Adams, corner of Oak street and Fear alley.

Tho trialof theCounty 'ommissioners continues to attract much ittcntion, but bo far little of a startling char- cter has been brought out In tho examina tion of witnesses. At tho present rate the trial will probably consume two or threo eeks. Chief Clerk Kcberhad no knowledge of any communication from tho Poor Directors to the County Commissioners showing tho iu- illlty of the inmates of the almshouse to o tho excavating work for tho new bulld- ngs. Tho minutes of October 10, lbOO, showed that tho contract for tho electric light plant was awardod to the General Electric Light Co., of Philadtlphia, although ley were tho highest bidders, on May 11, 1800. Mr. Iieber could not tell why this was ono. Ho did not havo tho contract: pre sumed tho Commissioners had it. Mr. Schalck notified Mr. Iieber to bring all bonds, contracts and papers bearing on the mshouso improvements into court. Tho minutes of December 7, 18U0, showed !iat a resolution was passed to pay certain sums of monoy to contractors. Among these was ."00 to be paid to W. J. Iiast for plumb ing. Mr. Keber, however, said he failed to find any contract with Past. Tho matter was left unexplained by the witness. the f 10,000 nix-ini-T, Mr. Keber admitted the system of taking receipts from the treasury was not kept up for monies paid to him. It was not deemed cccssary since tho controller's act went into foicc. He, however, said those that had been taken were probably around the ollico. he witness said it was true that tho receipt for the $10,000 loan dated Juno 3, 1893, was found among tho rubbish iu tho basement of tho court houso. Mr. Iieber said : "I don't think Mr. Council, former ex-Chief Clerk, ever kept general statement or account of the temporary loans. Wo have, however, a separate bin or box in the vault where all tho notes, lesolntions, Ac, were kept. Since I succeeded Mr, Council I have kept a general account of tho loans. I mado a statement of these loans for tho year 1807 and I am positive it tallied with the banks." Tho resolution authorizing a temporary loan dated July 3, 1893, Mr. Iieber stated, was in the hands of the Controller. Tho oan was made with tho Safe Deposit Bink, of Pottsvlllo. In answer to a question by Judge llcchtel the witness said tho record or minutes before him did not show the amount. of tho loan. At tho request of the court Mr. Iieber left the witness stand to get the statement ho mado as to tho temporary loan. TCMI'OUAKV LIMNS. Deputy .treasurers. J. Deibert was sworn and produced the cash register for 1895 aud part of '0U, This record showed that from Juuuaiy 1, 1890, to October of the same year $175,000 had been paid into the treasury ou temporary loans. WHKlti; IS THE NOTE AND KKSOLUTION. Chief Clerk Iieber lcturnctl aud reported that he could not find the note drawn July 3, 1893, nor tho resolution of that date. Ho then produced the statement prepared by him showing tho amount of the debt temporary loans and bonded indebtedness ou January 1, 1897. Tho notes then outstanding have been redeemed und aie now in keeping of the Controller who demanded them. TUESDAY'S f.E.sSIO.. This morning Judge Ilecktel ruled out the second indictments found last week, saying that their admission might bo an injustice to tho defendants especially because the present indictment, containing thirty-two counts, is quite sullicient to proceed ou. Deputy County Treasuicr Samuel Deibert was culled und told of tint redemption of the various notes during 1890 leaving an out standing balance of $35,000, Uurd W. Payne, Deputy County Con troller, tho next witness, brought tho promissary note's und said ho became Deputy November 1st, lbOO. Frank liccso was tho Deputy prior to that time. I ho defense is contesting every point stub bornly, but tho Judge persistently overrules all objections aud grants exceptions. There lire many counsel aud every ouo bus his say so that the task of presiding over such a trial is no easy ono. Payuo identified a Safe Deposit Hank loan resolution of March 28, 1898, and said the notes and resolutions wero brought to tho Controller's ollico during tho summer of 1897, after they had asked tho Commiisituers for them. He did not know that ho was re quired to bring all tho notes, THE NOTE IS MISSINQ. Q. Whcro is tho note for July 3, 1893, for $15,000. A. I looked for such a note and couldn't find it. Mr. Ulrich objected saying that It must first bo pruien that such a note existed but Judge lluclittl ruled him out. Q. Did you ask tho Commissioners' clerk to look for it. A. Yes, 6lr. Q. When do your accounts begin, A. Jan. 1st, 1897. SAFE DEPOSIT HANK LOANS, Mr. Schalck handed tho witness a noto and resolution dated Sept. 4, 18P3, adopted by tho Commissioners. They related to u $15,000 note to tho Safe Deposit Br, UK coming duo ou that date : aud Its renewal tor tiu uays, it was signed by Phil. J. (' uuell. Tho note was signed by tho defendants and uttosteil by Clerk CoHnolljpThls Is a renewal of a rfE noto falling due tho samo .titno and for the same amount as the missing note, but ho could not say It wns the same noto. Q. Yon don't know of any other ?13,000 noto? A. No, sir. Another noto for $15,000 dated November 0, 1893, to the same bank, was read; the reso lution dated Nov. 7 was also read. They were countersigned by Horace V. Iieber, lt Assistant Clerk. Jan. 8, 1890, another $15,. 000 noto was Issued In renewal of tho Nov. I 0th note; tho resolution for this was dated January 13th. Ou the curium copy Is en dorsed a relcrenco to a file. This note came due on March 8, and was renewed for 90 days by resolution; interest at 5 per cent. On Saturday. Juno Otli, 1890, a $30,000 note was Issued and on Monday, Juno 8, the resolution was dated. Tho resolution recites that wheroas u $3,000 note as due May 27, another $5,000 note was due June 1st, and a $15,000 nole was due June 7th, and tho county not having funds to pay the same nor to meet current expenses, tho notes bo renewed and a new loan of $5,000 negotiated, for which u noto for $30,000 due In tliteo months was Issued. It was sinned by tho defendants ami Clerk Council. He also lead a carbon copy of the note for $.'10,000 signed by the defendants and Clerk Connell. The nutos duo May 27and June 1st, drawu March 2Sth and April 2ud, lespec tlvely, were read along with tho resolutions. Mr. Schalck : Tho resolution of April 2nd, 1890, shows a renewal of a $3,000 loan and the noto for that amount indicates it was orginally drawn for $10,000 and was later changed to $3,000; do you know why that was dono? A. It would bo hard for mo to explain what happened before I camo into ollico. (J. Can you explain why tho noto for $15,- 000 due June Oth is cancelled with a circular punch instead of with a cross shaped hammer like toe others. A. No, sir. To other questions Deputy Payne read tho note aud resolution renewing the $30,000 loan for threo mouths on September 4th at 0 pur cent, interest. Q. These papers havo not been altered siuco comiug to your ollico? A. No, sir, not to my knowledge ; tho lead pencil mark is not in our handwriting. Q. When was this noto of September 1th paid ? A. My impression Is it was paid December til, 1890, by Commissioner's warrant with auother $10,000 noto, which, with some in terest was included in a warrant for $10,020. I'he $20 was three days Interest on tho $10- 000 which was duo December 4th. This warrant was signed by lientz and Allen. Witness, whilo his clerk, Andrew Glass, was hunting up tho papers, told of a payment of $121,87 on July 3rd, 1S05, to the samo bank for interest. Tho discount on the $30,000 amounted to $391. US and thoro were other small items for interest includod. Q. Did tho Controller keep an account of tho moneys received in 1890? A. Yes, sir. Deputy Payne gave an excellent delivery for the court lawyers und reporters, every syllablo and word being clearly brought out He then read from tho book of tho receipt of $10,000 from the Safe Deposit Pauk July 3, 1893. This is the date $15,000 should havo beeu received according to the noto issued by the Commissioners ou that dato to tho said bank. Although tho original $15,000 not has not been found the resolution of Soptomber lib renews tho missing note. Cross examined by Marr, atty. Q. When was Controller's ollico organized.

Witness could not remember who brought tho note and got the money, but ho thought it was either Phil. Council, or Clerk Irvin Moscr. He was positive none of the Commissioners got tho monoy. lit was shown by Deputy Controller Payne's testi mony that but ?10,000 of tills f 15,000 reached the County Treasury. Mr. Ilaz.inl traced the various renewals of this $15,000 note, beginning with Septem ber I, 1893, until it was merged with the flO.OOO noto of June U, 189U, when J5.000 more uisappeareu. interest was puni on tue full amount, right through, so that tho county loses the interest iu addition to the principal. Tlio rate ot interest, ordncouut, was also increased.

The rate paid ranged from four to six per cent. Wnea tho nolo matuieci on isunuay, June 7, 1890, tho loan became due the day he lure ; but uudor tho present law it wouiu no juuo 8th.

Vigorous Denunciation of the Opponents of Senator Banna. Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 11. Senator Han no, was beaten for a week previous to last FilUay, when Representative Han del, of Montgomery, changed In his fnvor. On Saturday the Ilanna men secured Representative Grllllth, of Union, but they made no accessions Sunday or yesterday, and it is the gen eral belief that they are short one vote. It has been agreed by a conference committee that tho balloting In the two houses will not begin until 2 o'clock this afternoon, and there muy be sev eral changes In that time. There Is a feellnir among1 many of those opposing Ilanna that if he is not defeated on the first ballot, or rather by the separate ballots today, that he will not be de feated at ail. These antl-Hanna work ers say th.-y had a majority of five against Ilanna when they exposed their strength in organizing the legislature, and if they come down to a majority of only one against Ilanna today that tho coalition may not hold together for an other day. While the opposition still Insists on Kurtz as the candidate against Ilanna. yet they say that Bushnell, Kurtz or any other one will be dropped as soon as it Is demonstrated that he cannot secure all of the votes of either the antl-Hanna Republicans or the Demo cratic members. Ono of the names most prominently mentioned is that of Representative John P. Jones, who represents Stark county, the home of President McKlnlev. Mr. Jones is a Republican, and prominent in tho min ers' union. He Is for free silver, and is advocated as the labor candidate against the capitalists. While tho mass convention of the Republicans yesterday afternoon was the largest and most Indignantly en thusiastic assemblage ever known In this state, tho doubtful Republican members of the legislature did not see it or feol it. They were closely and liberally entertained by the opposition at the Great Southern hotel during the afternoon and night. Representatives Manuel, Griffith, Snider and others are having the undivided and constant at tention of the other side. There are at times lively sceurs when Ilanna workers invade the rooms of the opposition at the Gieat Southern hotel, and also when tho hustlers for the op position come to the Nell House after some of the doubtful members or their friends. There Is doubt also about the final vote of some of those on whom both sides have been counting. The mass Republican convention at the Auditorium In this city yesterday afternoon was the largest assemblage ever known In the history of the city. The capacity of the Auditorium Is 6,000. All the standing room was taken and many thousands were unable to gain admittance. The meeting lasted from 3 to 0 p. m. There were repeated scenes of hissing when tho names of Governor Bushnell, Mr. Kurtz and others wero mentioned. The terms "traitors, "Judas" and the like were frequently used as responses from the audience. Several of the speakers referred to Sen ator Foraker In connection with the revolting party. The audience was In close and deep sympathy with the In tense and bitter utterance of most of the speakers. The Columbus Glee club, which refused to participate In the in nuguration ceremonies, contributed largely to the enthusiasm of the oc casion by singing. Tho resolutions, which were unani mously adopted, vigorously denounce the effort to "thwart the will of the people as expiesspu in many conven tlons" ns a menace to Republican gov ernment; assert there Is a conspiracy to reapportion tho stato in tho Interest of the Democrats; warns the people of the dancer of electing a sllvcrlte ab senator, and derlare that "a vote against the chosen representative of the people Is a crime against our Institu tions." After the meeting Senator Hanna" was serenaded at the Nell House, and made several speeches. Senator Haunn did not attend tho muss convention nor the Inaugural exercises earlier in the day. Congressman Orosvenor, who lias been heie for linnn.i for over a week has written a letter to James II. Wig gins, a convict In the Ohio peniten tiary serving a 20 year term, who has been endeavoring to get out.
