That being disposed of a question of enpital arose, and after considerable argument a mo- tion was made and adopted that each club be as- sessed $2,500 asa campaign fand. A committee of three, Messrs. Johnson, Shire and Brunnell, was appointed to visit every town represented in the Players’ Leagte and investigate the standing of each club, and if any were fotind that needed assistance such arsistance was to be given them, both financially and otherwise. he ghestion of weak clubs was then brought up, nd Buffalo being found to be in a erippied condition, it was decided that they ‘get tout new men—an outfielder, an infielder, and two pitchers,‘ The men who afe td goto Buffalo are not yet decided upon, but the inflelde to be capable of filling the position of captain. As regards the local clib, the outstanding debts will be paid inimediately, and Mr Wagusr stated that the report thatthe players had not reoeived their salaries was untrue.

Wagner and that the two latter would hereafter liquidate all the outstanding debts, There was some talk in the corridors of the hotel about the fetitement of Henry M. Love from the présidency of the Philadelphia club, but that gentleman declared he had no inten- tion of fetiring. and those present at the mect- ing denied that the question of Mr. Love's Jeaving the organization had been before the meoting in any manner whatever. ps sre edema Maryland Republican Committee.

An Accountant Shows That the Sweep- ing Contractor Owes the District. Some months ago chatges were tnade that the contractor fot street sweeping had been paid on duplicate meastrements, or paid twice for certain streets or parts of streets, Several other chatges were also made ih this connec: jon, ant the Commissionets ordered the audi- tor of the Distriet to look éarefully into the matter and report long rep. actions 0} ort, \t th ago wi the work, His labors were fi days ago, when he submitted to giving in detail the whole trans- 6 street sweeping department be- tween July, 1888, aud Match, 1890. ERRORS ON BOTH SIDES, The report shows that from July, 1888, to March, 1890, the errors in measurement against the contractor amounted to 2,960,488 square yards. In favor of contractor. 4,842,255 square yards. Duting that period there were 834,152 squate yards measured twice and 9,818 square yards not located. The errors in addition against the contractor amounted to 458,856 square yards and in favor of contractor 107,803 square e atiditor a ards, making a net over allowance of 2,874,744 square yards, which at 85 cents per 1,000 yards as allowed, amounted to $431.16 due the District by the contractor. DOUBTFUL MEASUREMENTS, In his report Mr. Donavan says it is indeed doubtful whether all the measurements in the revised schedule® now in use are correct, hence the uncertainty of this audit. In consultation with the eomptting engineer in relation to the matter he says they ha: conclusion that the only saf “arrived at d_ proper so! tion of the question would be aremeasurement aud recomputation of the whole street-sweep- ing schedule, giving the number of square yards toeach square and each intersection separating the same to be placed upon a map ae, to the subj ject A ret ragaeey| for the purp: dds, would greatly fuci of the daily reports of the and superintendent monthly report and great mani spector the contractor's and end controversy on of the errors in measurement and all duplicate meas- urement, he ear ae which have heretofore e occurred been avoided himself with a in jorandum accounts could the inspector have ovided ook and noted a street or part of a strect, as the case may bé, when the work was donc, and turn the same ed gg the superintendent daily with his repot sweep certain streets oftener than was neves- | |! sary, he sees no reason why he should entitled to be compensated there: the other hand it should appear that ily ENTITLED To ray. In conclusion, he says, if it ean be shown that the contractor was directed to sweep and did streets were placed by accident or design and were not swept then the area of such streets should be deducted from the account. The Commissionors will fpretully examine the report before approving Suit to Enjoi Payment. W. Herbert Smith today filed « bill for an injunction by A. 8. Worthington against Thos. E. Woods, Laura L.
