BILL FOR A DEAD li
Auditing Committee Hud a Lively
Time Considering It.
LEGAL POINT THAT KAS RAISED
To Prevent Compilations That l'ny
incnt of lllll Might 111 ins About, the
City Solicitor Will llo Asked for
on Opinion on the Manor.
Rather a livery mooting of the nudlt
Inq committee of councils was held last
evening. The action tnken on tho bill
of J32n for a horse purchasod by Chief
Engineer Ferbor, of the fire depart
ment, from F. M. Cobb, the horse that
ran nwny nnrt broke Its own leg and tho
leg of 'Motorman William Sweeney, was
to refer It to City Solicitor Torrey for
an opinion on the matter before paying
It.
ChJef Ferber needed a horse tho worst
way nnd without authority from the
tiro department committee of councils
he purchased a fine animal from Dealer
Cobb on Oct. 8 of last year. The chief
was returning from tho funeral of the
late Captain William Kollow and tho
horse took fright going down Lack
awanna nvnue and Jumped on tho
platform of n street car. Motorman
Sweeney could not get out of the way
soon enough and his leg was broken by
being caught between the horse and tho
car. The animal's leg, too, suffered a
fracture, and It had to be shot.
Plenty of Discussion on It.
Then came the question of paying for
tho horso. The bill was referred to the
auditing committee and it was dis
cussed at length Inst night, nnd Chief
Ferher's action In buying tho horse
without authority for so doing was de
bated without flattering reference to
his purchase'.
Luther Keller ndvocatod the payment
of the bill, but he thought that there
ought to be placed a seal of condemna
tion on the arbitrary action of any city
official In purchasing horses or anything
else without going about It In the right
way.
This matter would not have arisen
had It not been for the death of the
horse, because Mr. Cobb was willing to
wait for his money until an appropria
tion could be made by councils. It oc
curred to some nf the members that if
the city assumed the ownership of the
horse, it would assume also the liability
of the accident to Motorman Sweeney,
and by motion the bill was referred to
the city solicitor for an opinion.
Mr. Robinson told the other mem
ber's that the bunks were about to be
taken out of the Crystal hose quarters
if the city does not pay for them.
City Docs Not Own Them.
The bunks were purchased by the
company, and the city was not asked
to pay for them until now. Ry right
the city ought to furnish these appur
tenances for the permanent men em
ployed at the different houses. No ac
tion was taken because It was not In
the power of the committee to do any
thing In the absence of bills for the
beds.
A bill for $100 from the Underwriters'
association In connection with the fire
at the Howley building, on Penn ave
nue, was referred back to the mayor.
Mr. Roche told the committee that Col
onel Hitchcock, who Is president of the
board of underwriters, had told him
that the board did not want the im
pression to go out that It Is seeking the
city to share any expense with It that
may be occasioned In employing de
ectlves to hunt down fire bugs. The
colonel, Mr. Roche said, would have It
understood that the underwriters are
able and willing to meet their own
obligations without outside help.
Another bill for $100 was laid over.
It was made out by the Clapp & Jones
American Fire Engine company of
Seneca Falls, New York, for an auto
matic relief valve on the new Neptune
fire engine.
ilffcrence of Opinion.
There was much conflicting testimony
from the members of the Uommlttee In
regard to this bill; some of them, said
It ought to 1e paid, that it was an ex
tra piece of work outside the original
contract, and others wore fully as con
fident that It was Included In the origi
nal contract.
In order to determine the true state
of affairs the city clerk will right to the
company. Tho bill was laid over as
well as one for $20 In connection with
tho grading of Oxford street on the
West Side.
VAN GIESON RECITAL.
Pino Fntcrtalnraunt Given by tho
Talented Young Woman.
A delightful evening was passed at
the Young Women's Christian associa
tion rooms last evening, when Miss Ad
nee Van Oleson, who Is a charming
reader and clever reciter, entertained a
largo audience with her excellent seelc
tlons. Miss Van Gleson resides at
Omaha, Neb., and Is staying for a few
days with her uncle, J. Lawrence Stelle,
on her way home from New York. She
haB also accepted invitations to recite
at Altoona, Chicago and other cities
on her homeward Journey.
Mrs. B. H. Ripple introduced Miss
Van Gleson, who opened her enter
tainment by reciting Mary WllkJns'
"Village Singer." To one who may
have read the narrative a great sur
prise was given in the many character
izations so brilliantly portrayed by the
young lady. Another of Mary Wllklns'
humorous readings, In which the old
maid mourned the loss of her cat, wan
splendidly given. The "Sisterly Scheme
of a Summer Girl" and Will Careton's
"Hero of the Tower" were also splen
didly recited. Many miscellaneous
readings were given to the delight of
the audience.
During the evening Miss Florence
Richmond, plantBt, and R. R. Welsen
flue, violinist, gave "Tho Caliph of
Bagdad" and "Lucia da Lammermoor."
THEY GAVE GENEROUSLY.

REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE.
Mr.
N'nsh ncgins First of tho Regular
Monday Morning Sales.
fl. M. Nnsh. tho well-known real es
tate auctioneer who has established
quarters In the Rnub building, at 143
Wyoming nvenue, began the first of his
regular Monday morning- Bales of prop
erty yesterday at 10 o'clock. Before of
fering properties upon hi list Mr. Nash
addressed those present res follows:
"These rooms I om frolng to call
Nash's Real .Estate Exchange rooms,
and Invite those interested In this line
to make these rooms headqunrters for
real estate matters. I expect to read
a list of property on hand nnd offer It
for pale every Monday morning at 30
o'clock. This Is what I have termed
sales days.
"I will receive property to sell three
ways. First, a private list for such as
would like to sell and do not want their
property ito be advertised too publicly.
Only to such as may Inquire, What Is
on the private list? will those properties
be described.
"Second, I will take In real eitnte for
parties who are In haste to sell, and
besides making a full announcement
every week, giving location, of property,
size, price, terms and any Information
desired, I will send party to show It and
put on notice for sale. All of this nt no
expense to owners. Should owners
want a more thorough advertising, I
will charge them the cost to do so.
Commissions I will arrange when prop
erly Is plnced.
"Third, I am a real cptate auctioneer
and will receive property to he sold this
way. For persons requiring; a quick
sale this Is generally the plan adopted
in large cities, and only sure nnd quick
way of selling. Many properties lay In
different real estate agents' hands from
year to year and ho sale, but finally are
sold out by the sheriff to pay taxes or
other debts. By placing your proper
ty to be sold this way doe not take It
out of your hands, as sales cun be ad
journed and you can protpct prices if
too low. Hut In most cases you get
good returns this way. I will thor
oughly pest you how to do it. This way
of selling brings competition. Your
property Is thoroughly advertised and
you are pretty sure of a sa.U"

In Ho City in the Interest of tho Wild
West Show.
Mnjor John M. Burke wan In tt) city
yesterday paving the way for Buffalo
Bill's Wild West show at the driving
park next Saturday. It Is eight years
since the major led the Cody forces Into
this city and since then himself nnd
Mr. Cody have made a good deal of
history.
"I have been over the greater part
of Europe as well as my own country
since I was here before." said the
major as he chatted to a Tribune re
porter yesterday. "Our success In Eu
rope was something remarkable, nnd
I made many valued acquaintances
over there." There Is more gray In the
major's hair and a greater rotundity
of figure than of yore, but hla person
allty Is as Impressive and his dlsposl
tlon Just as genial. The gray In his
hair, he Jocularly remarked, was caused
by his experience as a member of the
peace commission thnt settled the In
dlan troubles of four years ago so suc
cessfully. That was a dangerous mis.
slon, and while Mr. Burke Is pleased to
refer to It lightly there are probably
few men who would have cared to
undertake It nt that time.
Slttini Dull Has lione.
When the Wild West was here before
Sitting Bull, the famous Sioux chief,
wns one of Its attractions. He died
during the Indian trouble thut he
created, and In putting an end to which
Colonel Cody and Major Burke took
such a consplclous part.
"The westprn scenes of the present
Wild West show the people of this city
have seen, but the congress of rough
riders Is new and of a magnitude hard
to comprehend," said Major Burke. "It
Is tho only exhibition seen at the
World's Fair and at the Purls expos!
tton of 1S89 now left. Everything else
has disappeared. The Indians with us
are all blunket Indians, taken from res
ervations by the permission of the gov
ernment. This exhibition Is the devel
opment of twelve years of effort In this
direction, and Is the culminating work
of the lives of Colonel Cody and Nate
Salesburn. From the nature of the ex
hlbition It is not likely that it can
again be duplicated or that It will ever
be brought to this city again.
Comfort of tho Audience.
"Everything Is done for the comfort
of the audience. A seat under cover Is
provided for every one who nttends
and the performance can be given In
dry or rainy weather, equally well. Our
own electric plant Illuminates the In
terior of the canvas and the surround
ing territory nt night.
"How many people do we carry?
Well, about 800. It requires fifty-four
railroad cars to move the show from
place to place, and we carry 200
draught horses with us."
Major Burke leaves thlB morning for
Albany.

SERMON OH INGRATITUDE
Delivered by Rev. rather Moffitt at
Cathedral.
THOSE WHO ARE UNGRATEFUL
Reasons Why Persons Should Return
Thanks to God for tho Blessings llo
Uestows I'pon Thom-Rev. Fatlior
lagan Will Speak Tonight.
Again last night, as on Sunday night,
St. Peter's cathedral was crowded de
spite the uncomfortable weather, and
the sermon of the Forty Hours devotion
was preached by Father Moffitt, of the
South Side, his subject being Ingrati
tude. He quoted the parable of the ten
lepers mentioned In tho holy book, how
but one of them was thankful for being
cleaned.
The speaker referred to the unthank
fulness of man that is in good health;
God, the giver of this bounty. Is not
remembered at all; on the contrary. He
Is Binned against. That Is the blackest
Ingratitude. And It Is repeated again
and again, but God, In His merciful
forgiveness, washes man's sin ' away.
Although this mercy Is shown again
ond again in a man's life, yet he Is un
grateful to God, and as long as he Is in
good health he continues In sin, instead
of employing his thoughts to return
thanks for the enjoyment of that
health.
Evidence of Ills Neglect.
Man's Ingratitude Is again shown
when he absents himself from the holy
sacrifice of the mass, knowing of what
thnt sacrifice consists; fully cognizant
that the body and blood of the divine
Son, tho real Presence, Is offered up on
the altar by the prlust. It would be
hard to Imagine greater Ingratitude
than neglect to attend the sacrifice of
the mass.
The speaker dwelt particularly on the
thankfulness that parents who are
blessed with good families owe to God.
It Is a most noble blessing for parents
to have a good family, and God, who Is
the kind Father that is the giver of this
precious boon, should be duly praised
and thanked for His goodness. Hub
bands who have good, pure and devot
ed wives should be thankful for that
blessing; and the wife who Is blessed
with a good husband should not forget
to thank God and be grateful.
Should Not (ilvo Scandal.
Catholics, the reverend speaker said,
ought to be careful so that by their
conduct they may not give scandal to
those not of the church. They should
be thankful to God for all graces and
mercies, and In the times of grace such
as the present season they should avail
themselves of the benefits and spiritual
fruits of the Forty Hours.
Confessions were heard, after the
benediction of the most blessed sacra
ment, by about twenty priests, who
have come from different parishes of
the diocese. The parishioners who are
obliged to work will be accommodated
with a mass at 5 a. m. tomorrow morn
ing to go to holy communion.
Rev. Father Fiigan. of Susquehanna,
will be the speaker this evening.
DIRECTORS ELECTED.

I.nckaunnnu Hospital.

awanna hospital was held last evening

elected; William T. Smith, Thomas D.
Davles, Conrad Schroeder (for three

SCRANTON'S FACILITIES.
They Are Advertised in Current Number
of Power.
This month's "Power" hns an adver
tisement showing the facilities offered
In this city for tho establishment of
manufacturing concerns, and has also
the following editorial, which has a
direct reference to Scranton:
"Power.even at Niagara, is notoffered
at extremely low rates. The public are
Informed that the rate at the fulls will
be $20 per house-power per annum. For
electrical transmissions to distances
long or short, the charge will be $18
per horse-power at the generator, the
customer to furnish the line and bear
all losses. From this It Is estimated
that one-horse power at Buffalo will
cost $32 per year for ten hours per day.
