There is a strong prospect of a lively fight at an early date over the so-called "flues" exacted monthly from the keepers of gambling houses in consideration of immunity from police interference. For the past two years, each house in which games of chance, such as "oraps," roulette, faro and the like, are conducted has paid the city month ly the sum of $50, but since the open ing here of a large saloon and sporting house, those of the gamblers who have only sufficient money to make a show ing in a single bank-roll have become dissatisfied, because of the fact tbat the more wealthy of their class run as high as five or six games and they pay no more for the privilege than do those who conduct a single "crap" table.

It was at its commence ment that it was discovered tbat the vote of four preoincts, that gave ma jorities for Orr, had been stolen from the oity vaults. The court, however, went ahead with the count of the other ballots, taking the figures of the miss ing ballots from the returns. The undisputed ballots gave Orr 2,620 and Fawcett 2,590 votes, includ ing the four Btolen precincts, the official returns of which were counted. Four disputed votes which were oounted for Orr, gave him a total of 2,624, and nineteen disputed votes, counted for Fawcett, gave him a total of 2,609, a bread and water. on board, and bailing her out. All their provisions, anchor, cooking uten sils, signal lights and several other ar ticles which were not lashed to the boat were lost.

' Elizabeth Koblns lVnnell writes of "Tho Lights and Shadows of the Al hambru" lu tlu CYtmiry. She thus tie sitUh'S her cxiu'rioiuvs in u Spanish hotel near the Alhuiulira: Tho breakfast hour, however, varied nci'ordlng to eaeh one's fancy. It was only nt dinner that all the boarders sat down together. Generally we were not more than six or eight to gather round the lamp-lit table, ami J. and 1 were tho only foreigners. The others were natives of tiranada who had left Its heated streets for the cool grove, or elso Aiulaltisians from near towns tak ing n short holiday. They were, if any thing, too friendly; for, though our conversation with many was limited to "ltttenus dias" and "Hueniis tardea," this und n bow were expected every time we met. To us, of u less polite race, It became something of a nuis ance. With a few friendliness went further, especially with an amiable and pious family from Cadiz, who were our neighbor at table fur u fortnight. The mother and two daughters were ulways veiled in their mantillas, if by chance we saw them In the morning on their wuy to or from mass. Hut they were never without smiles for us, and the father spoke some Knglish. I le was so extremely civil at all times that we were the more surprised one evening w hen he lost his temper outright. ,-I like everything in your country except your wine," ,1. told him, in an swer to a lending question; for we never could get used to the vile flavor of pigskin. Ho turned upon us In n fury. "What! not like my wine? Hut It Is good -the best. 1 send It utmost all to Kngland." The trouble was, he was a wine mer chant, and he could not be convinced' that. I. meant nothing personal until we had kept awake the long evening with him over n bottle of his sherry. Then we had n bride and gi-oom from Mulugn, ami the groom also spoke jKiigllsh. He told us they had come that Ithey might, dining their honeymoon, i 'hear little birds sing, and wander un i der green trees, which we thought a" 1 pretty sentiment until it hud been re peated to every man, woman mid child In tho hotel. From the beginniii;, of dinner to the end one of the little y'rla proiu Cadiz would keep up a ceaseless :,'iHtnnil prattle. Those occasional man dolins would rouse the bride Into a flutter of excitement; It was n song of Malaga they were playing, she would then lean over to explain. Hut their tranquil gaiety never Jarred; It seemed ns much a part of the summer silence us the chanting of the crickets iu the, grove. The arrival of the Marchioness was tho first shock that shook us out of our slumbers. She lived In Granada; two of her children had whooping-cough, and she had chosen the hotel ns a pleas ant hospital for them. I never knew any one to pervade a, place ns she did. If we went to sit In the rocking-chairs-In front, there she wns with her whoop ing babies; If we hurried Imck Into the hall, she was at our li(iel: and could not retreat Into the dull, gloomy, uninviting sitting-room that she and her nursery, whooping and yelling, did not follow. This was bad enough, but what mattered more was Hint she turn ed our peaceful garden Into a sick room, and our dinner Into u public re ception. By the second course one child or the other always began to whoop, and bud to be curried awny, purple and choking; by the third there was a great cluttering of liorse-boofs In the road below the terrace, mid the Marquis would pull up his horse, mid the Marchioness would rush to lean over the balustrade and give him her harsh, voluble report; lie wiih afraid. It seemed, of the contagion which he had passed on to us so cheerfully. By the fourth a party of friends would troop Into the garden and young Indies and priests and expansive dowagers would make a circle round the table, and watch us as we ate. I suppose It would have been a dreadful breach of Spanish etiquette bud they been asked to dine, or, If asked, bnd they accepted! It was detestable. The whole atmosphere, the whole feeling, of the hotel and Its gardens wa changed. Hut the other Spanish did not like It a bit better. Ev erybody grumbled, everybody com plained, and with heroic effort the manager got tip enough energy to tell the Marchioness she must go. and we all dozed back Into our accustomed baok in the First National bank, there was 1741.45 wholly unaccounted for. The experts further said the accounts were so badly oonfused and the meth ods so poorly adapted to the require ments that the oflice books would have to be rewritten for the period of tho treasurer's inoumbency. The treas urer's receipts for the special school fund and taxes, amounting to (7U.817, were not entered on the book of re ceipts and disbursements, nor was the payment thereon, amounting to 82, 1 14, entered.
