parly.
Starshall A. Coyne, attorney for Keegan,
fllcd tho writ cjf assumpsit and state
ment of claim will bo filed tomorrow.
Mr. Coyne said he had seen Edward II.
Bonsall. of the Land Title and Trust
Company, treasurer of the Evangellstla
Association, at his omco this morning.
The claim of 3031.75 was presented to
Mr. Bonsall and he was asked, according
to Mr. Coyne, If payment would be made.
Admission was made by Mr. Bonsall that
some damage had been done to the
Spring Garden street house, Mr. Coyne
said, but he declined to pay such a large
amount. Mr. Bonsall will name tho attor
ney for the association later today.
Colonel Keegan was in conference with

Since that time he had made a more

"LEXOW" COMMISSION
FREE TO ACT WITHOUT
GOVERNOR'S APPROVAL
Attorney General Brown
Rules That Resolution
Creating Body Does Not
Need Signature to Be
come Effective.
The Wilson resolution providing for tho
appointment of a Joint legislative commis
sion to Inquire Into needed municipal
legislation called the "Lexow" Commis
sionpassed by tho Legislature during Its
closing hours, becomes effective without
the slgnaturo of Governor Brumbaugh,
according to an opinion handed down this
afternoon by Attorney General Brown.
The Attorney General decided that only
resolutions having the effect of legislation
need be presented to the Governor for
approval or disapproval.
Attorney General Brown remarks that
another resolution not needing' the sig
nature of the Governor is that creating a
commission to look Into the matter of a
Joint capltol at Philadelphia, and a third
Is that providing for an inquiry Into the
methods for the care of dependent Insane.
The anthracite coal price probe must be
panned upon, he says.
Tho Wilson resolution under this ruling
becomes effective at once. It Is so
broad In Its specifications that it permits
of any manner of Investigation of mu
nicipal affairs In any city In the State,
and this fact and the mystery that sur
rounded the resolutions' caused much dis
cussion when It came before the Senate
after being rushed through the House at
a night session, Immediately following Its
introduction.
In deciding that the Governor Is not
required to act on the measure, Attor
ney General Brown said:
"The purpose of this resolution Is to ob
tain Information on legislative matters
for future consideration. It Is not
proper legislation and should not be pre
sented to the Governor or be approved
or disapproved by him,

A terrific thunder, lightning and rata
storm beginning at 4:0 p. m., and lasting
20 minutes accompanied by a 16 degree
drop In the temperature brought relief
to a sweltering city after the hottest day
of the year.
The storm, while short, was of tho In
tensest character. The thermometer
tumbled from S3 degrees to 71, and mora
than .13 of an Inch of rain fell. Lightning
struck the Broadway Theatre and Broad
street and Snyder avenue, tearing away
a few bricks In the southeast corner
near the roof. The show was over and
the theatre empty. Tho damage was
slight.
Lightning also struck the mill of Aront
& Site on Emerald street, back of Alle
gheny avenue. Employes became terri
fied and rushed from the building. An
Alarm was turned In for engines, but
there was no fire and little damage.
The relief did not come, however, until
one man was dead and four other per
sons prostrated from the heat which had
the city In Its grip, as the fourth day
pf the warm spll established a new high
record for tho week when It touched 83
degrees at 3 p. in. today.
The dead man Is William A. Brown, 31
