ARTTLING UF CONTRACTS. ‘The Commiittce on Local Asscesments report- ed, recommending the passage of the order di- recting the Board of Public Warks to audit and the Comptroller to pay the 15 per cent reserve to contracturs due st the time of the suspension of work, upon the caneellation of contracts, anil the retease of the city from uny claitn for dain- nges on uccount of the suspension. Ald. Lengacher usked 1f all the contracts wero fncluded. Ald. Lawler replied that only a few were n- eluded, and the city could not “eseape except by puying the 15 per cent. Ald. Thraop deslred to have the Fullerton av- enue conduit cxcluded, He lmd very grave doubta abont the propricty of pussing the order in that shape, sitice no names were mentioned, and the yoting would e fu the dark, All. McCrea thoughit the order wwas fraught with 5rcn dangey to the uity, yet he believed the Committee had reported n good faith. He couldd scs where, under it, every contractor would expect to get his pay, and have an action for dawuges on nccount of the suspension of work. Ald, Smith remarked that the order did not refer to contrucets of any magnitade. Ald. MeCrea—It refers toall the contracts, Ald. 8mith did not understand that it applled to any contract which the ¢ty was willing to e ted, tnetead of 1d. McCren suggested, instead of passin tho order, that it be aent back to the (."(’mnmE tee, nnd a proposition be secired from the gen- tlemen nggrieved and who wanted to stop work. ‘Then there would be sumething to net upon, Ald. Rawleigh moved that the order be re- cominitted, and the Committee Instructed to report the namea of the contractors aud thy :\mounts 1t was propoged to pay thein. Agreed 0.

There was alarge amaunt of money In the Clty Treasury which was callected for the prosecutiun of the works In question, and he donbted whether It could be used for any other pitrpose than that for which it bad Leen uppropriated, Ald, McCrea #nid there was soino mouey In the Treasury, but he was not Informed a3 to the conditfon of the funds. It was a question whether this money did not belongr to the econ- tractors who had already rurl‘urmud worl, and wanted money from tho eity, The clty wusina terriblo stralt for moncy, and the first caro of pay off the la- borers and lquidate the debts already fncurred, fnstead of running furtlier Into debt.” 1t was no use passing such orders unlesa they were pre- pored to (ulfitl them, He feared the resvlution would lead to further embarrnssinent It pnssed, 1t was the Comptroller's desfre to lquidate all claima agninst the city a8 fast as he obtained monoy. ~After that waa done, he was satistied that everything would go onj there was no als- position In uny of the dopartinents to delay any. worle or contriicts, hut resolutions of this char acter would only lead to embarrassment. In reply to Ald. Cullerton, Ald, McCren stat- ed that the employes could only be paid out of the new loan, Al Throap sald that some of the work con- tructed for should be completed, or the interests of the city would he sacriticed, but he was not. prepared “to vote for the order, 08 It was too "lm.u Ing, and obeylug it would only emburruss the city, Ald, Smith asked how much money was In tho 'I're(;aury which conld be paid out on the con- tracts. Ald. Sherfdan didn't know, ALY Cullerton eufd there was over $400,000, Ald, Smith thought the Aldermon was wfs- taken, If it wore true, why the ¢ry about “hard times "1 e wanted to know how much money there was In the Treasury to pay for work under way. Ald, Glibert inoved that the resolution bo re- ferred to the Finance Committen.

Thirteen Innings and a Draw DBetween the ilartfords and New Haveus. IIAND-BALIL,. The sccond serfes of ¢mmes o the Hand-Ball Tournament of the Northwest was played yes- terday afternoon at Ald. O'Brien's court, on ‘West Harrison street, near Desplaines. There were present many gentlemen Intercstod fn the sport. The game was between Ald, 0'Brion and Jo- sepl Ahern, and James Feron and John Carmo- dy. O'Brion and Ahern won the best three out of five on the North Btde Monday., Yeaterday they won three more games, which gives them six games to four out of the fifteen to be play- ea. If they win two games out of the five to be plaved at the alley of (tondon. on tiie corner of Deerlng and Cologne strects, Saturday, they will be masters of the situation. ‘The Arst game yesterday showed excellent play on all sides, with the odds in favor of Carmody and Ahern, Feron w as not in condi- tlon. it was apparent, and any man who salil O'Brion was himself did not tell the truth. There was no telling exactly how the menstood. Aliern seemed, however, to get his work in, for he mado ace upon ace until a misplay from O'Brlen sent . his hamd oul, Car- mody next took his hand In, but was put out cleverly by O'Brien. Bubsequently, an inimit- able right-hander h’y Feron settled O'Brien. Carmody now took his lhand fn with the scors standing 13 to 18, Some fine left-corner work by Feron hrought Carmody up. Feron wont out, however, by a score of %1 to 19, THE RECOND GAME went in with Ahern to thotoss, e tossed magnlficently, and scored four aves. Feron was, nevertlicless, too mnnz for him on the grounder usiness, and put hitn ont. From this out the game was ulte remarkable. At one thine the game atood to 0. Undeterred by this, hiowever, Feron and Carmody fiually got their game to 3 to 13, "I'hls wna rather slim, but the play of Carmody and Feron hereahouts demnonstrated a .com- mendable degree of pluck. On Feron's hand the svore worked upwarde,—i-13, 518, 613, 7%-18, and Ahern wenl in with n deliberate intention of making some- thing, but falled by reason of a defect in the front wall, which Ald, O'Drien ahould remed: ut once, At this stage of the gamo it steod to 10 In favor of O'Brien and Ahern. . Carmody, mkln? a hand, went in with a scure of 10 against. 16. He ndvanced his measure, by hard {dny, this way: 11-16, 1216, and 13-10; but " o rattling grounder from O'Bricn spojica 14, This ace was left for Feron, who made It without much tronhle. Ahern followed Carmody with n vengeance bent wpon doing something, He commence hard tossing anid looked around carefuily for O'Brien, 1t'wne 16 to 14 when he took hishand in. He eoon mnde {t 17 to 14, 18 to 14, 10 to 14,20 to 14, and 21 to 14, This was tho game, und it was ennsidered hmvflr Pl O'Brien and Alern having won two cfi:m“ out of flve, Carmody and Feron must ne WIN TIE THIRD. They did o by o gseore of 21t 18. It was the result, however, of very hard play. O'Brien did not do hls best, it I8 trne, but Ahern showed gome of the finest carom practice ever witnessed, s play brought down the houserepeatedly. The fenture of this game was Carmody’s coup which ut out Aliern, nmid great excitement. Aftor Eemn liad put O'Brien out, Ahern mode seven aces in this inning. 1 ‘Tho fourth game was dlm‘nfiummd by an ex- hibition of long play raroly witnessed hetwoen Feron nnd Ahern, ~ The house rung with the plaudits, Secmingly O'Brien had ~piven Ahern oprormnlty to distinguish himself. Whether he ™ did__so or not, Ahern certalnly did fine work, The gatna nl.ood 1 to 16 in favor of O’Brien und Alern. The fifth game was quite interesting, fnas- much as Feron and Carmody worked hard for it. Feron is a hard tosser when hoe wants to be, and Carmody {8 & hard. striker when the mood rtrikes him.” They won this game, and dascrve big credit for it. THE TURF. The indefatigable Col.
