Grier Explains Refusal to Pay GochringSalary
County Controller Grier filed an answer to mandamus seeking salary for November. He argues county officers are paid from fees under the 1878 fee bill and the 1867 Tolersm Act, with two thirds to the District Attorney and one third to the Assistant. He notes 1891 office earnings were 10747 and asserts funds are exhausted, lacking Assembly authority to create the Deputy District Attorney post. He says Hormaker can perform duties and cites ongoing court business.

Charter Granted for Duquesne College After Revision
A charter was granted yesterday in Common Press No 3 for Duquesne College after the first application was contested by Western University over the name. The court ruled it had no power to confer degrees, so the second application omitted that clause and secured the charter. Germania Liederkranz also received a charter, while Hurtigari Singing Society's charter was filed.
