CHIEF MURPHY'SCASE HANGS FIRE Eoer City Fathers See Snakes in an Inno cent Resolution. SOFT SNAPS ARE PUT TO A SLTEEE TEST Allegheny Councils met last night and scrapped, as usual. In Select Branch they had a Mar of -words over the resolution to refer Chief Murphy's cae to the City So licitor. Each man was in favor of it, hut for half an hour the 13 members had a irool pnllinjr match and wound up by pac ing the resolution unanimously. It was brought up by Dr.Gilliford and was the t,ame one "before published. Councilman Einstein grasped the opportunity and the ears of his auditors, ircludins John Mc Kirdy, and asked for light. He declared for the space of ten minutes that it was re ferring too much to the City Solicitor. It was an insult to make hira both judge and jury and pas over the head of Councils. He ended by saying it looked to him a little flimsy. Chairman Henricks made the same state ment that he did in The Dispatch "Wednesday morning, and at the close said his sub-committee had no right to make changes. Lowe You admit yon have no jurisdic tion. Henrieks I don't. Lowe You do, and you know there is a snake in that resolution Henricks It's not so. Lowe I'm for the resolution, but there is a snake in it Every officeholder here is for it. and there are claims of a political deal, but I am for it just to see the snake cran 1 out in six weeks. Sobpr Conncilmen See Snakrts. Arthur Kennedy and a half a doren others insisted they were lor the resolution, and insisted jut as hard on keeping up the fight, vhen Mr. Wcrtheimer took the floor by main force and the strength of his voice, ahd said: "It's an outrage to howl 'snake' on every resolution presented." Lowe Tbey charged me with having snakes. "Wcrtheimer X ever charged anybody with snakes. "No, but yon have sold stuff to make EiJal.es," was Mr Lowe's quiet rejoinder. Matters having arrived at this happy sit uation, the resolution was passed unani mously, but as the discussion was so Ions drawn out Common Council had adjourned, and the resolution will have to banc fire another month unless a special meeting is called. And some even declared the dis cussion was kept up for that purpose. Previous to this the Auditing Committee reported Mayor Wynian in arrears tor SI, "GO tor license due from the Odorless Ex cavating Company, and was liable for $7,000 forfeits for not having paid the licenses when due. On the call of wards Mr. "VVerthelmer of fered a resolution to close the market house on holidays; Dr. Gilliford a plfa for addi tional counsel to prosecute Vyman. His resolution wasaccompanied by a letter from President "William It. Thompson, of the Reform Association. In the reports of committees was one frm Chief Ehlcrs as to the number of peo ple emploved in the Department of Public Works. In the general office there are 2 employes: in the Bureau of Lighting, 30; Bureau of Engineering and Surveys, 14; Bureau of "Water Supplv and Distribution, id; street force, lb"; "Water Assessor, 1; Bureau of Highways and Sewers, 8; Bureau of Parks, 17; Bureau of Library Buildings, 5: markets, S; wharves and landings, 1; Municipal Hall, 3; Diamond scales, 1; bark mcasnrcr. 1. The report stated that all day laborers and mechanics whose number varied with the work on hand were omitted, and that the extension ot water supply and public lighting will require an increase of the per manent force. The report was filed. The resolution awarding the contract for remodeling City Hall at a cost of fG,37o to Benjamin A. Groah, was passed, as were a number of minor street improvement ordi nances. The resolution for an appropria tion of ?2,.00 for the auditors was sent to the rinancc Committee Fcrappincr Ovrr the Soft Snaps. Next the ordinance abolishing the office of Fire Bureau Clerk came up. Low e tried to indefinitclv postpone, Henrichs wanted to amend aud "Wcrtheimer cried personal malice. This was the programme for i minutes, during which time council men accused each other of having been Rip Van "Winkled for the last year. They had almost reached the conclusion that no city official had any excuse for drawing a salary, when the ordinance was put to a vote, and lost by a vots of 4 to 9. Common Council distinguished itself by being unusually disorderly. Mr. Goettman asked for the expert accountant's report to find what amount was due the citr from nat iral gas companies. He thought it was about 540,000. Petitions were placed for a number of arc lights. Mr. Oliver presented a resolution providing that in accordance with the request of Congress man "W. A. Stone, the Presidents of Coun cils be requested to appoint a special com mittee, four from Select and eight from Common Council, to consider the various sites suggested on which to er;ct a Govern ment building for a postoffice, and receive such information as can be obtained on the subject and report to Councils. On motion the resolution was adopted and was con curred in by the Select branch. Gathering Data to Trim Salaries. A report was received from Chief Murphv giving a list of the officers, clerks and em- 5 doves necessary for the Department of ublic Safetv, in accordance with the pro visions of the charter act. The report was required to enable Councils to regulate the number of emploves in changing irom a third to a seconrt class city. J lie report hhowed the following numCer of employes considered necessary by the Chief: Gen eral office One chief clerk. Bureau of Eire One superintendent, 1 assistant superintendent, 1." captains and 77 hosemen and other eniploj es. Police Bureau One clerk, C detective", 'J. captains, S lieutenants, C "-ergeauts, 1 ordinance officer, 68 patrol men, 3 operators, 18 wagonmeu, 2 matrons. Health Bureau One superintendent, 1 clerk, 1 meat and milk inspector, 1 physi cian, 4 sanitary inspectors, 3 furnaceinen. Bureau of Electricity One superintendent, one lineman. The report was referred to Finance Committee. The following ordi nances were passed finally: Appointing two additional assistant : ttendauts at the City Home at ?27j per year each, widening "Woodland acnuc, opening School alley, widening and extending Gilliford street, changing the grades of Logan street, Center avenue, Lhlers alley aud Laniout street. A resolution was taken up 'providing for advertising for proposals and the erection of 50 electric lamps and mast arms. The ordi nance had been amended to provide that the lights be paid for out of money not other wise appropriated instead of out of the contingent fund. Mr. Gerwig opposed the resolution. He said there was no question but more light is needed, but it is f oily to proceed. There is dissatisfaction with the present system of lighting and talk of a change, and they thould not put up more lights of the same kind when they may make a change next year. They should settle the st stem to be adopted first. The matter was held over until the sub committee on lighting reported. The report of the Citv Controller for November was read. It showed expendi tures of S103.GD8 19 and a balance oi f333, 484 87 in the depositories on December L Chairman Parke remarked that the report was a good one, aud the amount of expendi tures included all the bills payable. Mr. Dahlmyer said that they would also have 525,000 a month from delinquent taxes coming in for the balance of the fiscal year. DEATHS IIERE ASD ELSEWHERE. Dr. Mary J. Safford. Mary J.

Clara S. Blood. Mr. Blood had several other small poli cies, but the Equitable was the first to pay. This is not an exception to their usual mode of settling claims, but the rule.
