ADDITIONAL LOCATL NEWS, ANOTHER CHAPTER. The Charge of Perjury Against Bur- dick Dismissed, In Justico Schurz's court, yesterday, a decision was rendered dismissing the charge ot perjury preferred by Officer O'Brien against C. E. Burdick, It will bo remembered that Rurdick filed an affidavit with the city council, stating that Officer O'Brien had arrested him for being drunk, wnen in fact, he was sober and thst ho searched him and took €8 from him, ane never accounted for the money or returned it. 1t was on this that O'Brion had him arrested for porjury. A demurrer was filed to the information, the grounds being that the affidavit in question was not made in any legal proceedings, and was a purely vol- untary act on Burdick's part, noithor re quired or authorized by law, and was aamitted to bo false. The case was thereforo dismissed and tho opinion of the justico s pronouncad as highly sound, even if it doos make O'Brien naturally a little hot, and rouses up others of the police force. Just what O'Brien will now do to quiet Burdick, and to get the matter cloared up before the public ia not certain, It is probably through that ho will next tackle him on tho charge of libel. Just what the police committeo are doing does not seem to be known, O “cer O'Brien snys he has not been calied before them for examination. The committeo doos not seem anxious to got witnesses in this case any more than Mahon's Blook, Will practioo In State and eders! R. Rice M. D. CHRONIC DISEASES e oin .

BILLIARDS® they have in the matters set forth by Jules Mottaz, Considering the serious charges made in regard to the police force robbing drunken men, tampering with the books at the jail and other matters, the only way the publio will be eatisfied will be by having the mayor and police committeo go at it tearlessly and sift tho true from tho false, The mayor has shown such weaknees in regard to his own private secretary that little is to bo hoped from him, but the police committee should on that account brace up all the more, s THE JAILOR STEPS OUT, Mottaz's Resignation Accepted With out Any Investigation, At a recent mosting of the city council P. D. Mottaz, who has served acceptably to the public for some time as city jai'er, handed in his resignation, giving as his reason therofor some rather startling statements, amounting in efloot to charges, what it was thought would be investigated. DMany have thought that the annoyances to which Mottaz had been subjected were for the purpose of forcing him out of the position. If this was the scheme it seems to have succeeded admirably. 1t was supposed that the mayor and police committee, to whom the matter was referred, wouid at least oall Mottaz before them and examine him the corner of Ninth avenue, this being the pioneer sewer of the city. It iy of brick and measures 33 inches, Noxt week he expocts to begin work on the storm sowers by the North Main street bridge, and as 800n as the pipearrives will begin on Broadway at Sixth street and procoed up Broadway to Firat street, and srot the work outof the way of the paving.
