The closing hearing In the proceed
ings having for their ultimate purpose
the breaking of the will of Mrs.
Raehacl Frands-Wllllams, late of

MR. NEWS WAS FORCEFUL
Said He Would Compel President
Gricr to Da Him Justice.
THAT DETECTIVE DILL AGAIN
Common Conncll Indefinitely Postpone
Action on It-Mr. Oliver's Effort to
Hold Up Dills Was Unsuccessful.
It Was a Long-Wlnded Session.
'Members of the common council were
In a peculiar frame of mind last night,
and they gave one of their star exhibi
tions In the way of consuming time.
They began at 8 o'clock and continued
In session until 10.30 and passed upon
business that might have been dis
posed of In an hour.
The oratory and foolishness began
after the reading of the report of the
auditing committee, which announced
that the much-disputed hills of Frank
Cobb, $350 for a horse furnished to the
chief of the lire department; American
Fire Engine company, $100 for a re
lief valve for the Nay Aug steamer
and Soranton Underwriter's associa
tion, and $100 as city's share of the 1)111
for detective service in connection with
the attempt to burn Howley Bros.'
building on Penn avenue, had been
approved.
Mr. Oliver, who Is a member of the
auditing committee, moved that the
bills be ordered paid except those of
Frank Cobb and the American Fire
Engine company. In the course of sev
eral speeches ho made while the mat
ter was under discussion, Mr. Oliver
made some very testy remarks con
cerning Chief of the Fire Department
Ferber, and said It was time he should
be "called down." Mr. Nealls, to help
the good work along, moved that the
Underwriter's bill be also Ignored,
which was agreed to and the auditing
committee's report was passed With
out these items.
Then They Changed Their Minds.
In the course of fifteen minutes the
councllmen changed their minds about
these bills, and iwhen Mr. Nealls again
called the attention of council to them
and said he thought they ought to be
paid, his colleagues took kindly to his
Idea and they ordered the bills paid,
notwithstanding the vigorous protest
of Mr. Oliver. '
After a . little more business was
transacted the famous detective bill of
$477.70 was called to the attention of
councils by City Clerk Lavelle's com
munication, which Informed them that
In obedience to a communication from
Mayor Connell supplemented by an
opinion from City Solicitor Torrey, it
was his Intention to draw a warrant for
this bit Select council a week ago
thought it was proper that the war
rant should be drawn and so ordered,
but the common was of an opposite
opinion lost night.
When the matter came up Mr. Oliver
Insisted on having the opinion of the
city solicitor read and then differed
with Its author as to the correctness of
his legal conclusions. So did Mr.
Nealls, who said he could do for $20
the detective service for which $177.70
was charged. He said thl city solici
tor's opinion was not good law and Mr.
Torrey knew lit was not and had simply
given the opinion to "bull" the bill
through council, as the speaker ex
pressed It. , i . 1 . i . ;, f i
During the debate on this matter Mr.
Nealls had a lively controversy with
President Grier and told him that he
proposed to have his rights on the
floor of the council chamber, and if the
president did not accord them as a fair
minded gentleman should, he would
force him to do so. One of the presi
dent's rulings evoked this passionate
outburst from Mr. Nealls.
Action Is Postponed.
Mr. Nealls moved that action on the
detective bill be indefinitely postponed
and that the city clerk be directed to
not draw the warrant. This was
amended by Mr. Keller that the bill be
paid, which was lost by the following
vote:
Yeas Morris, Grier, Moir, Robinson,
Seamans, Keller. 6.
Nays Loftus, Thomas, Gllroy, Wenzel,
Sweeney, Nealls, Oliver, Zeldler, Hlukey,
Norton. 10.
The motion to Indefinitely postpone
than came up and was carried by this
vote:
Yeas Thomas, Gllroy, Wenzel, Sweeney,
Nealls, Oliver, Zeldler, Hlckcy, Norton. 9.
Nays Loftus, Morris, Grier, Moir, Rob
inson, Seamans, Keller. 7.
Ordinances for purchasing land for
opening Wyoming avenue, between
Phelps and Ash streets, and for the
reconveyance to the estate of John R.
Davis of a lot purchased by the city
upon a tax sale, were reported fav
orably from Judiciary committee.
An adverse report was presented by
the Light and Water company on tho
proposal of the 'Scranton Illuminating
Heat and Power company, to light city
buildings. Later the city clerk was di
rected to advertise for bids. An or
dinance establishing grade on certain
portions of Ninth, Robinson, Jackson
streets and Nealls place, In the Four
teenth ward, was referred to committee
and the exoneration lists of W. D.
Thomas and William Coughlln, collec
tors of the Thirteenth and Twenty-first
wards respectively, were approved.
Fines for Three Months.
The report of the chief of police for
the mc-nths of March, April and May
was referred to the police committee.
It showed that the amount of the fines
coilncted for March was $248.50; April,
$154; May, $335,501
Select council's action in passing res
olutions awarding .to William P. Con
nell & Sons the contract for changing
the heating system In the city hall for
$664 and to the Economy Light, Heat
and Power company the contract for
heating the city hall at $1,337 per year,
was approved. An ordinance for the
construction of a main sewer on Wash
ington avenue from Stafford Meadow
Brook to Beech street, which came over
from the select council, was referred to
sewers and drains committee and re
ported favorably forthwith. Council
endorsed the recommendation of the
mayor, city solicitor and city engineer
that the .claim of Stephen Jones for
land taken in the opening of Washing
ton street be settled for $2,200. A reso
lution for the opening of Wyoming

COBB FAMILY MIXED UP.
An Interesting Suit in Assumpsit Before
Alderman Post.
Alderman Post, of the Seventeenth
ward, has a suit before him in which
many of the Cobb relations of Wayne
county figure, some as plaintiffs and
others as defendants. Tho former Is
represented by Mrs. Ada Jadry and
the latter by Attorney B. F. Klllam
and Mrs. Carrie Cobb, executors of the
estate of S. W. K. Cobb, deceased.
Away back In the seventies I. W.
Cobb, son of S. W. K. Cobb, purchased
two horses from E. S. H. Cobh. He
gave two notes dated Nov. 29, 1879, one
for $150 and the other for $100. He
purchased these horses for his father.
The notes, tho plaintiffs claim, have
not been paid, but the defendants al
lege that they have, yet they have not
brought any receipts to prove the pay
ment. The six years allowed by law
have expired long ago, but the plain
tiffs say that tho maker of the notes In
1S91 admitted the notes and agreed to
pay them. Under the law that renews
them for another six years.
Mrs. Jadry Is the assignee of S. E.
Cobb, one of tho heirs of E. S. H. Cobb,
to whom the notes were made payable.
She is represented by Attorney A. A.
Voffburg and the defondnnt executors
aro represented by Attorney C. R.
Pitcher.
Tho notes are outlawed on the face
of them, but the parole testimony of
three witnesses was taken to prove
that I. AV. Cobb, In 1891, was shown the
notes and promised to pay them. The
witnesses who heard Cobb make that
promise aro his mother, his aunt and
his niece. The argument ,of the attor
neys will be heard on Friday, June 21
at 10 a. m.
KILPATRK K IS A FIEXD.
Heat Ills Wlfo and Did All Kinds of Mis
chief About House.
With blood streaming down her face
and showing general evidence of In
Jury, a woman entered the office of Al
derman W. S. Millar yesterday after
noon and furnished Information for the
arrest of her husband, James H. Kll-
patrlck, a Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western brakeman, residing at 123
Franklin avenue.
The couple have been married but
five months, but this mere honeymoon
has been fraught with much" bitter
ness. Yesterday Kilpatrlck drank ex
cessively and a naturally severe dispo
sition became more ugly. He beat his
wife, her face showing the marks of
his fists. While being heard by the al
derman Kilpatrlck could not control
his tongue, and his oaths brought
down a fine of $10 for contempt.
During the interim between the com
plaint and Kllpatrtck's arrest by
Deputy Sheriff Jordan, the former had
created great havoc in the Kilpatrlck
homestead. Mrs. Kilpatrlck Is a dress
maker and had about finished a gar
ment for a customer, having received
$7 for the work. The husband took
this dress and burned It in the kitchen
stove. He then smashed the house
hold dishes, cut his wife's clothing with
a shears, damaged the furniture and
tore things apart generally at the
house.
This was not discovered until Kilpat
rlck was behind prison bars in default
of $500 ball.
