TEE COMMITTEE FEIDAY. A Franchise Given the Uorningside and Highland Tark Eailwaj. ANOTHER STEP TOWARD A B0DLEYARD A surprisingly large number of council men turned out to yesterday's meeting, but what was even more surprising they were all in the seats ready for business at 2:30 o'clock. Little important business was transacted. The Free Bridge Committee reported two ordinances without comment One provides that at the February election the people shall vote on the issue of 51,500,000 in bonds for the purpose of buy ing and building bridges over the Mononga bela river, and directs the Mayor to issue a proclamation therefor. The other provides for the erection of a free bridge over the Monongahela river connecting South Twenty-second street with Forbes and Brady streets. Both ordinances were re ferred to the Free Bridge Committee which will meet on Friday afternoon to consider them. By a unanimous vote Select Council finally passed the ordinance giving a right of way to the Jlorningside and Highland Park Street Eailway Company. Pretty Badly Patched Up. It had been so patched with amendments as to make it nearly worthless, but Mr. P. Sawyer, who is the prime mover in the scheme, was clad enough to get it, even as it was. There was a disposition in Com mon Council to postpone action on the bill, but by a little judicious lobbying Mr.Sawyer secured its consideration. It was passed with only one dissenting vote, that of Mr. "Wainwrigbt Mr. Bobertson's ordinance giving the "West End Electrio Company privilege to light and heat that part of the city was passed unanimously in Select Council, he declining to vote because he was interested. In Common Council it was amended so that the Chiel ol Public "Works has supervisory power over its construction, but was not passed. Chief Bigelow had another ordinance presented in the furtherance of his boule vard scheme. It provides for opening Beechwood avenue from Frankstown to Eeservoir avenue, at a width of 80 feet. This covers a long stretch from Highland Park, closing the X egley Kun ravine, and with the ground already laid out south of Penn avenue the boulevard is now more than half mapped out Objections to a New Incline. Objections were raised to the ordinance allowing the Clinton Iron Company to build an incline over "West Carson street because there was no provision for guards or flooring to protect pedestrians on the street below. The bill was recommitted for amendment Mr. King in Common Council wanted to know if the Auditing Committee was ready to report on the monthly statements of the department chiefs showing their expendi tures. "The committee has had over a month to consider those papers, " said he, "and we ought to know something about them." President Holliday referred the question to Mr. Thorn, of the Auditing Committee. Mr. Thorn said: "We have not had a meet ing. We endeavored to meet once but couldn't get a quorum." An expression of disgust overspread the countenances of Messrs. King and O'Don nell at this, and they exchanged glances in dicating little confidence in the Auditing Committee. HAH? NEW BILLS. m strong Demand for Garbage Ie5islatIon From the Women. New business presented and properly re ferred was as follows: In Select Council A resolution directing the Department of Public Works to prepare estimates for re paving Liberty avenue from Thirty-third to Main street; resolution far repaving of Main street from Penn to Liberty avenues; ordinance for the construction of a sewer on Exchange alley and across the Mononga hela wharf from Third street to Monongahela river; ordinance relo cating Alder street lroin O'Hara street. 163 feet eastwardiy; ordinance establishing the grade ot Arlington avenue from South Eighteenth street to city line; establishing the grade ol Mellon street from Stanton avenue to McCully street; opening Avonmore street from Stanton avenue to Coleridge street; opening Coleridge street frcm Avonmore to Moreland streets; peti tion lor water pipe on Mifflin street; ordi nances opening Thirtieth street from Brere ton to Mingo streets; opening Arch street from Thirtieth to Branch streets; grading Arch street from Thirtieth to Branch streets; opening and grading Mingo street irom Thirtieth to Bidge streets; petition of the "Women's Health Protective Association for a municipal system of collection and disposal of gaibage and indicating how it should be done.

Years Settles It CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED. If Dr. Schenck's treatment and cure of Consumption were something new and un tried, people might doubt: but what has proved itself through a trial as old as our grandfathers, means Just what It Is A Specific for Consumption and for all diseases of tho Lungs. No treat ment in the world can place as many per manent cures of Consumption to Us credit as Br. Schenck's. Nothing in Nature acts so di rectly and effectively on the iun? membranes and tissues.and so quickly disposes of tuber cles, congestion, inflammation, colds,coughs and all the seeds of Consumption as Dr. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup When all else fails it comes to tbe rescue. Not until it falls, and only after faithful trial, should any one despond. It has brought the hopeless to lite and health. It lias turned the despair of ten thousand homes into joy. It is doing it now.lt will continue to do it through out the ages. Dr. Schenck's Practical TfeatUe on Consumption, Liver and Stomach Diseases mailed free to all applicants. Or. J. H.
