Pi THE PCTTSBUEG- DISPATCH. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY".. 2 1S92? v. ALTERED THE" PUN Common Council Opposes the Auditing Committee Idea, ClaimiM That It Is THE CONTROLLER'S WORK. Pinal Amendment of the Ordinance After a Long Argument. WOULD TAKE UP TOO MUCH TIME, irjue the Members Who Fisjht tlie Bill and Win Out Easily. OTHER BUSINESS IN" COHMOX BRANCH Pittsburg will have no Auditing Commit tee. Common Council so decreed yester day, by amending Mr. O'Donncll's ordin ance so as to put the power of supervising accounts in the hands of the Controller, in stead of a committee of Councilmen. This will alter the present condition of affairs only in allowing Controller Morrow '. to employ sufficient expert help to do the work. TJnder the law he is already em powered to make an audit of the city's books at least once a year. But he has never had anybody to devote the time necessary to it. The work will be long and arduous, and this accounts largely for the opposition of numerous Councilmen to having the matter devolve on members. The chance of being put on the Auditing Committee doubtless had considerable in fluence on many who argued and voted to put the burden on the Controller's shoul ders. Started a Lenjrtliy Argument. The bill came up in the special meeting Common Council called to wind up some unfinished business. Before much else had been done Mr. O'Donnell called up the ordinance creating a standing Auditing Committee. For two hours there was the most animated discussion of many a (lay in that branch. The ordinande had passed the first two readings at prior meetings and its author called it up for final passage. Mr. Magee moved to go into a committee of the whole to amend the MIL Mr. O'Donnell The gentleman has failed to give any reason for such action. I un derstand the amendment to be offered will practically kill the ordinance. It is strange that this ordinance has been before Councils so long and never until now has an amendment been offered. The ordinance - as it is now cannot be amended. It is as near perfect as possi ble and covers the entire ground. It has been before this branch three months and met with general approval from the public The parties who want to defeat it are men who nave long been identified with the municipal government. I want it un derstood that if the ordinance is defeated it will come up again, and I will be one of at least a hundred taxpayers who will form a citizen's movement to have it adopted. The action in going into a committee on the whole simply means the defeat of the or dinance. " 'Would Be a Heavy Task. Mr. MacGonnigle I do not altogether agree with Mr. O'Donnell. The ordinance needs some amendments. The task of an auditing committee would be a heavy one and I would not want to serve on the com mittee. An amendment should be made to let the Councilmen out. Mr. Bigham The ordinance is not per fect, as its author claims. I have not the slightest doubt that Mr. O'Donnell is perfectly honest in his intentions; but it strikes me the work would be enormous and members of Councils would not have time to attend to it The work should be done by expert auditors who should be paid for it. Mr. O'Donnell "Was there ever an audit of the city's books? Mr. Bigham I have no knowledge of what would be called a special audit, except when a deficiency had been discovered in the "Water Department some years ago. Mr.O'Donnell I am satisfied the attempt to go into a committee of the whole is simply a scheme to kill the ordinance on the part of gentlemen who are afraid to go on record as directlv against it. Chairman Holliday You will please come to. order. You have no right to make snch a statement concerning the motives of members. The motion to go into a committee of the whole was then adopted and Mr. Bigham took the chair. Mr. Magee moved to amend the ordinance, striking out every reference to an auditing committee and making the Controller the auditor, giving him the right to employ as many clerks and experts as he sees fit. Mr. O'Donnell Have you consulted the Controller as to whether or not such an arrangement meets with his approval? Un less the Controller has altered his views within the past two months he prefers an auditing committee. It Is the Controller's Dntyi Mr. Masee I do not know what the Con troller wishes, as I have not talked with him on the subject, except in a half serious way. I do not know that it makes any dif ference anyhow, as it is the duty of the Controller's office to audit the books. If the gentleman from the. Sixteenth ward is honest and earnest in his efforts for an auditing of the city's books he can secure it best through the Controller's office. If such a committee as Mr. O'Donnell wants were appointed the people would be con tinually saying they were working for a belfish purpose and had axes to grind. t Mr. Flinn Neither the original ordinance nor the amendment are perfect. There is no question about the honesty of the present Controller, but this ordinance is not only for to-day, but for the future. Time has shown that the old maxim that "every man is innocent nntil proved guilty" should be changed so as to read "'every man is guilty until proved honest," "We cannot have Con troller Morrow for ever, and who know-abut that in some future time there may be a man in his place in whose hands such respon sibility will not be safe? Mr. O'Donnell I have serious doubts as to the right of Councils to impose further duties on the Controller, his powers being fixed by act of Assembly, and there is noth ing in the acts compelling the Controller to go over the books of his predecessor. Mr. Holliday In neither the ordinance nor the amendment is there anything- to show how far back the audit shonld -go. This is a serious defect, in my mind. Mr. O'Donnell The ordinance fixes no time, and after its passage, Councils could regnlate the matter by resolution. To Go Back Over Ten Tears. Mr. MacGonnigle offered an amendment that the auditors be requested to go back for a period often years or more if necessary, and that they should report to Councils, This was accepted by Mr. Magee. Mr. Holliday read the act of Assembly which makes it the duty of the Controller to audit the books at least once a year. The only extra authority the ordinance would give him would be to employ experts. Mr. O'Donnell wanted the Controller sent for, but this was voted down. The amendment was then adopted and the committee of the whole rose. Mr. O'Donnell Ihe people of the Six teenth ward have kindly elected me for an other term, and I give, notice now that I will keep bringing the ordinance up until snch s pressure is brought to bear that Councils will have to pass it. The vote favoring the Controller as Au ditor instead of a committee was as follows: Ayes Mesr. Ausloch, Rtgham. Brown, Crawford, Donley, DeUney.Dnnn, Ertzman, Fox, Groetzlnper, Hagmaicr, Jarrett, Johns ton, Kelly; Lowrv. Magee. Mason, 'McClure, MacGonigle, McGuire, Shannon, Tarsrart, Vogt, Wallace, William. Wright ana Presi dent Holliday. Total, 27. Xavs Messrs. Ferguson, Flinn, Lnrkin, O'Donnell, Bussell and Stewart. Total, 6. The ordinance, as amended, will come up for final action at the next meeting. Consideiable other business of lesser im port came up for action yesterday. The communication from Mayor Gourley rela?, tivetothe appointment of a committee of business men on the "World's Fair was read, and the action of Select Council in adopt ing the paper wns concurred in. The ordinance granting certain privi leges to the Pittsburg Traction Company was next taken up. Thought It Big Consolidation. Mr. -Ferguson objected to the ordinance on the ground that it looked like a consoli dation of all the lines. , Mr. Magee explained that the ordinance simply was to allow the transferring of cars to other lines, or, in other words, meant a system of transfer beneficial to all Fast Fnd residents. The ordinance was then adopted. Mr. O'Donnell, of the Committee on Sur veys, presented ordinances locating Griffin street, Kearns street, Victoria street and Brooklyn street, establishing the grades' of Jet alley, Coleman street, Denmarsn street, Hosack street, Hamlet street,Ophelia street and McDermott street; relocating a portion of Greenfield avenue and Irvin street; va cating Mellon street, Derry street, Gar field street and Morton street. These ordinances were dopted afinally. Mr. Bigham, of the Committee on Public Safety, presented a release of damages by George Alexander to the city of Pittsburg and dedication of certain ground in the Twenty-first ward for public purposes. The paper was adopted. Ordinances for sewers on Pride street, Howe street, Yale alley, Garrett alley and Casselman alley; opening Fifty-fourth street and the grading, paving and curbing of At lantic street, Casselman street and Hsr cums alley; also, an ordinance repealing an ordinance for a sewer on Mulberry alley, were finally adopted. An ordinance authorizing the Department of Public Safety to purchase certain property to be held for public purposes, which failed to pass at the last meeting for want of legal majority, mn taken up and passed finally. This is a site for the Central station. Has Put Out 1,000 Tons. To-day is the first anniversary of the Moon Hun Coal Company's life. A year ago men were set to work driving an entry, and Superintendent Sanford states that the day will be celebrated by the putting out of" 1,000 tons of coal. Mr. Sanford pro poses to make the surface of the company's land pay as well as the coal, by enriching and working it, and giving the grangers of the section a lesson in practical agriculture.

Be sure to get Hood's. Severe Struggle with the Grip Postmaster Foster, Of Lubec, Me., says regarding Hood's Sarsa parilla: "Last spring I had a severe attack of the Grip which left me in a very feeble condition. I had no appetite, was nervous, and was in a poor -nay generally. I was ad vised to take Hood's Sarsaparilla And in a few days 1 began to improve. My appetite increased till it seemed that I could not get enough to eat. When I had taken three bottles I feltas well as ever, and I may say better than ever.

Features of the Trial of the Tonne finan cier on Embezzlement Charge. New York, Feb. 23. Edward M. Field, head of the firm of Field, "Wiechers, Lind ley & Co., was brought before Judge Van Brunt to-day lor trial on one of the six in dictments charging him with grand larceny. Counsel for Field objected to his being placed on trial, stating that he was Insane and was mentally incapable of pleading to the indictment. He offered in support of this a certified copy of the verdict of the jury at "White Plains', pronouncing Field insane. District Attorney Kicoll suggested that a jury be selected to try the question of Field's sanity. Mr. Cockran argued in favor of the, appointment of a commission, but Judge Van Brunt decided in favor of a jury, and the work of selecting one was at once begun.

I want to replace with new pieces my old side board (which is too small for my dining room), and an old-fashioned walnut chamber BUito (bought when I started in housekeep ing), but have not decided how I can ar range it. While so undecided, I write chiefly to ask w.hether your reduced prices will hold longer than the "one week?" OUR REPLY. We' suggest, FIRST, the auction room in March or April as the best place and time for a quick turning of old furniture into ready cash; SECOND, as a gift, they' would confer lasting benefit upon a needy relative, or neighbor, or one of the many charitable institutions.

Case after case of choicest English, Scotch, French and German Spring Suitings and Trouserings has been taken out of the Custom House by us during the past week, and to-day we are ready with the grandest se lection of fashionable piece goods ever displayed within the four walls of a Merchant Tailor Shop. ' -Gentlemen who are accustomed to getting their clothing made to order should reflect on and carefully weigh the unrivaled advantages tre offer them. Buying our cloths direct from the European looms in large quantities and for cash only, it stands to reason that we get them for less money than the tailor who buys in limited quantities from the importer and on credit. This fact enters largely into the big saving we guarantee each patron. Then, too, we employ only the best help. Our artist cutters and journey men tailors are skilled men who are expected to produce perfect work only. Right here, then, let it be most emphatically stated that we do not recognize as competitors the mushroom, cheap Johns of the trade or. the dark and dingy little tailor shops which abound in our thoroughfares. Our fine ready-made clothing is far superior in material, make, fit and finish to the slop-shop work turned out by these concerns. Our Work Is the Best Only! Nothing short of perfection goes with us in Merchant Tailoring. Yet, in spite of this fact, and for reasons mentioned above, our prices are from 15 to 25 per cent lower than those of other first-class tailors. Thus, for in stance, we can easily save you 10 to 15 on a suit, or from $2 to $4 on a pair of trousers. Now, too, is the best time to leave your measure. The big rush has not yet set in, and those who leave their measures during the next, two weeks will have "the. advantage of making their selection from an entirely new and unbroken assortment. - X Your inspection is invited.
