The issues involved yesterday wero those with r 0 w supersedvns bond. Judge Metice d that for o corporation to be allowed to super- sede the decision of a lower would be, in the present cuse, to allow a concern that had been de- clared dead and plucked up by the roots to rehubilitate itself at its own pleasure, and would have the cffect to establish the rule that no decision of the court of com- plete jurisdiction would have any force or alidity until it had been passed upon by the court of last reso Sabstance of the Decision. ‘“The effect of a superscdeas,” was the substance of his decision, “is to restrain the ipellee from taking an aMrmative action to cuforee a decree, but does not authorize the appellant to do what the decree specifically vrohibits him from doing. The judgment already rendered finds tiak the defendants have usurped a public franchise, and if they ave the right to supersede, it is possible for any corporation to usurp and hold such nelises until the state can obtain judg- ment of ouster in the courts of last rosort “Hometiwes, however, the opevation of this rule would work great hardship, and cases arisc where it is poseible, on conditions imposed by the court, to relieve the parties from injury to which they would be sub- jected by the strict application of the rule.

The city council held its regular monthly meeting last evening. Alderman Hathaway, who is probably alderman: no longer, was absent, and Alderman Geise was likewise nowhere to be seen. Tne claim of A. C. Harding for £10 for the rent of a building in the Sixth wardas a polling place was brought up, and City At- torney Hazleton reported that he was en- titled o the money. This is the case in which Harding, the owner of the building, and J. W. Clatterbuck, the tenant, each claimed Clatterbuck stole a march on Hardin als and got his §10. By the report of the city solicitor each mun gets 310 for a room that usually rents for about # per month. Harding was allowed the mouey. A resolution was iitroduced by Alderman Smith providing for bringing to grade Fivst and Second avenues, anl Twenty-first and ‘Tweaty-second streets, near Cochran park, In support of the resolution Smith said that this wark could probably go over for & time, but his motive in wanting it pushed at this time was to furnish work for the poor. As it woald cost only $1,000, and as the work would have to be done sowme- time, he was in favor of providing for men who were at present without means of eurning a living. The resolution was adopted unanimously, and all bids for the work will have to be in by January 9, Mayor Lawrence read the following dom- munication: NTLEMEN OF TIHE COU youratiention to an_impor that L decut extrouoly To perfe fur o pirks, 1UIs nelessary that the eapacity of 1i- ok, fronn its conliuence with the Nines teenth street and Thivteenth avenue sew should b enlarged from thenco o the Mis souri river.

It was expected that a report would be on band from City Attorney Hazelton on a number of very Juicy questions propounded to him by Alderman Kellor at the previous monting with refarance ta tha coflection of ihe nmotor company's delinquent taxes The report was on hand, but even Keller did not appear anxious to have it read wheu he learned the contents, and by his request tue opinfon was handed to the city clork to be kept by him under lock and key for an indefinite period. Just what was stated in the opinion cannot be learned, for the fow who know are decidedly noncommittal It rumored around the edges that Alderman Keller, who was elected on an anti-motor platform, has done yeoman's scrvice for the motor company by calling the attention of the company in the above mentioned queries to things t might have escaped the notice of 1ts attor- noys, and it seems to be the prevailing opinion among city oficials that the county treasurer will not be directed to seizo tho company's property for back taxes, at lea for some time to come. At the close of the regular council mee ing the aldermen, the mayor, the city ot- torney and John Lindt held a star chamber session in the mayor's office to consult with reference to certuin lawsuits now peoding against the city.

Sho is not a lively dog to- day: she is a dead dog, says the Indian- apolis Jowrnal, It was two years ago that Flip became a member of Custodian Griftin's honsehold, and quickly won the affections of the family. It was not un- usual for her to go to the state house to amper about on the marble oo She was at the capitol late Wednesday afternoon busily engaged in her usual festivities. Before she started to her home in - Union street, Flip was led to the basement, with: a string which was tied around her neck, that she might imbibe a refreshing draught of hydrant water. She placed her front paws on the edge of the trough, took one good swallow of water, gave a scream pecu- linr to the dog tribe and went siark, staring mad. She ran out of the base- ment to the corridors of the fiest floor, and continued her fit, drawi the at- tention of the entire population to the capitol, Plip weighed about five pounds. She kept at about twenty state oflicers, clerks and janitors. The’ young women ran into the offices and barrved the doors when Flip took possession of the capitol. The men sallied forth to participate in the affair, but they remained ata re- spectful distance: I'lip pranced about the corvidors as if she realized that they were in her possession. Foam was dripping from her mouth, and she bit and pawed at the marble pillars as if she would tear every one of them down. Before she could make the building an historical ruin it was decided that Flip should lose her life. But an executor could not be found. One man voluntecred to rush in and at- tempt to kill her if the others would go to the rescue should he fall. But the others would not agree. It was the duty of the custodian to get Flip out of the house, the state officials said, as she was his dog and he was in charge of the building. The custodian scent for a hammer with which to perform the sorrowful duty. It wasan ivon hammer, with a head almost as large as Fijp, It had a long, black handle, and, with a good muscle behind it, would be sufti- cient to tuke the life of an ox. The custodian took the weapon and slipped up behind the dog while she was ving to climb a polished marblo pil- lar. Just as he was about to deal the murderous blow the secretary of state shouted 'Gway from that dog, Griffin! 'Gway rom him! He's mad! The custodian went ernor was on the scene. Flip was frightened. would continue her house. But she had would spoil the tragedy that every one had gathered to see.” The custodian took another hold on the hammer. He put all his vength in the blow. The hammer missed the mark and as the custodian held on he was jerked half across the hall. Again he slipped up to the dog. The hammer fell with such force that it splintored the handle and the sound of the stroke echoed and re- echoed through the house in a dull, sickening sound. Flip never regained her reason, She dropped to the floor in a heap and her soul took its flight up through the building and out an open window in the skylight. How an away.

A little scene took place in the police court room last night prior to the council meeting which was a great surprise to il who ar fumiliar with the workings of the police de tment Shortly aftor Mayor Walker entered the room he handed a uote o Chief Beckett, but did not say anything to him. The chief ripped open the envelope, and as soon as ho haa glanced at its contents he tore the paper to pieces and threw tho scraps in the direc- tion of the mayor. e then hurriedly took off his star and threw it at his honor, Mayor Walker then called on one of the police to put Beekett outsidae the rail. *“Yes," suid Bechett, “trot one of ‘em out. I'd like to see uny - put me out ot heve,” and ho squared himself away in a mavner which blutfed off any serious inten tions any of the cops might have had when tho mayor spoke. The chief remained in the room during the session of the council WKINE & seat in the rear of the repor table. I'he note handed to Beekett by the mayor sked for his resignati It stated that his opinions_did not seem to agree with the mayor's policy, and as long as he had not counseled with' his honor for advice he pre- fervea that he step down and out On New Year's eve Chief Beckett found Oficer Eminger in a saloon and caking his star from him placed him under on the accusation of drunkenness and took him to the station. He also suspended Bminger from duty. Yesterday morning the chief suspended OfMcer Arabright for leaving his beat without permission. It is thought that the suspension of these two men, who are both warm supporters of Mayor Walker, angered his houor and caused him to take e step he did Mayor Watker appointed Beckett on the 10th of last April. He has been a sober, faithful ofMcer, and has attended strictly to his duties. Theve has constantly beén a rufiled iceling be- tween the ehief and some of the poricemen. The chief claims that it mattered not how often sowe of the oflicers got drunk or what they did they were backed by the mayor and it was useless for him to file any compluints, for he felt that as soon as helodzed the com: plaints he would be fired. The chief suys b is gomng to have the mayor's letter photo- graphed and framed Mayor Walker wasked if he had any ex planation to make for pdblication as o’ why he discharged Bechuff, He said: *Noj 1 have not. 1f any member of the council wants to know 1 will gladly tell him. My policy and BechuiM's ideas did not paiv; that's all thereis to it. i would not say a word or do anything to injure the man."
