NO COUNCIL MEETING.
The West Side Borough Father! Fail to
Secure a Quorum.
The special uneting of the West
Side oonncil, which was called for
Saturday erening.failed to materialize.
This was due to the failure of sufficient
members absenting themselves from
the meeting.
When the time for convening arrived
there were present O. C. Foster, F. B.
Sanders, John Struthers and James
Sutton. It was therefore decided that
a meeting be ealled for next Thursday
evening, Feb. 22
The meeting was ealled for the pur
pose of considering and passing upon,
if found satisfactory, the ordinance of
the Traction corapnny now before the
council relative to the paving, etc.,
portions of the streets upon whioh are
laid tracts.
It is calculated that, fit the rate of
$1.38 per yard, which is the price of
paving which the Traelion company
Hgrees to pay, the money that would be
received by tne boromru from the
company would be iJS.OOO for paving
between the rails aud $9,200 for paving
outside of the rails on Wyoming and
Luzrue avenues, Tne ordinance also
provides for the payment of 0 per cent,
interest on $8,000 from April 1, 1803, to
the time of payment. The above cal
culation is for brick, laid edgewise. At
the present rates for paving, it is esti
mated that the cost for paving b
tween the rails, with bricks laid flat,
would be 71 cents per yard, and for
paving outside the rails, bricks laid
edgewise, 93 cents.
At these rates the money received
from the Traction company would pay
for the paving of eighteen feet, having
but twelve feet for the property hot a
ers on both sides of the street to pay
for. The cost of paving half of the
above, six feet, in trout of a sixty foot
lot would be about $40.
It is the concensus of opinion that
the above terms are right and equita
ble with the exception of one thing. It
is nnderstood the council will insist up
on the company filing an indemnifying
bond of something in the neighborhood
of $20,000 to insure the faithful per
formance of carrying out their pledges.
This done, it is said the council will
give the company no further trouble, ,
THE MARDAMUS DENIEO.
Court Rules It Has No Powar In the
Matter.
In the matter of the mandamus asked
by Messrs. Donnelly and Shea to pre
vent the commissioners from printing
the names of candidates Seibel. Young,
Campbell and Davis in the regular Re
publican column the court handed
down an opinion Saturday, Judge Kice
saying in effect that the court had no
jurisdiction as to the granting of a
mandamus ordering the county com
missioners to place the Republican
ticket in any particular column or un-1-t
any particular heading. The judge
!urther remarked, however, that the
court did not wish to be nnderstood as
expressing an opinion as to the legality
of the votes that might ba cast for the
Republican candidates.
The county commissioners, by this
action of the court, being left free to
place the Republican ticket wherever
they chose to, ordered it printed iu the
Republican column. Therefore, the
names of Candidates Grow, Seibel,
Young, Davis and Campbell will com
prise the Republican column, there be
ing no ward officers admitted. The
regular Citizens' ticket will be allowed
a eolnmn by itself, with a circle at the
top, and will be headed "Orginal Citi
zens " There will also bo a "Citizens"
column, without a circle, for the names
of independent candidates.

fudges Kice and Lynch, permitting the

The ''Wanamaker Panorama of the
World's Fair,'' which has occasioned such
a furore in Philadelphia, is a voluminously
illustrated history of that great event. It
is a history that is both highly entertain
ing to the young and old, and instructive
to all. It is such a volume as should be
in every patriotic home. In order to have
a complete, continuous and connected his
tory, it will be necessary to have all the
parts. One new part appears each week.
There are sixteen, magnificent, marvelous
full-page views in each part. Ten cents in
cash and two coupons of different dates,
cut as directed below, will secure it. Part
One is now ready in unlimited quantity.
Other parts will be announced.

The young folks all delight to take that
famous "Trip Around the World" by
means of the handsome and instructive
Portfolio of Photographs showing noted
scenes and picturesque spots in all parts
of the globe we inhabit. It is an educa
tion in itself; this album. Don't fail to
have it, if you haven't it now. It will be
a lasting treat. Just now, in particular,
see the views it gives of Hawaii, the land
where Queen Lil ruled. Two coupons and
5 cents in cash will secure this treasure.
We've had to do it. The demand was too
great. We've had to make THREE offers
where we though two, surely, would be
enough. But the public wouldn't be satisfied.
So we've added the Wanamaker series, and
continue the other two. You need all three,
to be really in the swim. Each one is better
than the one before it; at least, that's what
you think. Better order early if you want
a prompt reply. All the various parts are
going like hot cakes.
