WHO IS JOHN jraiLEN?
His Identity vas Souijht After by
Select Council..
MAY0K MAKES AITOIXTMEXTS
Ono of Them is l.tueulu S. Tillman, Per
manent Fireman, and others Are
Hnlcy Ross and John .Me.Mul
len. Patrolmen.
"Who Is John McMullen?"
Now, Mr. McMullen is a young hostler
living on Adams avenue, is in the em
ploy of William Kelly and with no
knowledge at hand to the contrary,
and the fact that he was named for
the police force last night by Mayor
liulU-y, it Is to be taken for granted
that he Is a good reputable citizen of
this thriving municipality.
Hut select council did not know all of
this, nor any part of It. at the meeting
lust night, und as a consequence Mr.
McMullen's nomination came neur be
ing laid over for Investigation.
I'nder the fourth order of business
Clerk Luvelle reud a communication
from His Honor, In which he named
John McMullen to succeed Conrad Mey
er, and Flnlay Hosg, jr., to succeed
Thomas Mills on the police force, and
Lincoln K. Tlllmun to till the newly
created position of assistant perma
nent man at the I'henix engine house.
Mr. Manley moved to fup?ml the rules
and proceed to the consideration of the
uppoliilments.
Mr. I turns, Democrat, from the Eigh
teenth, called a halt
He wanted to know.
After explaining that lie had no In
tention of obstructing the confirmation
of the appointments, ho stated that
he could not conscientiously vote for
the appointees until he found out some
thing nbottt them.
Mr. Finn said, with utter disregard
for history, that he had never ques
tioned the appointments of a mayor,
believing that the responsibility for
the selection rested not on the councils,
but the mayor, and so believing he was
not going to question Mayor Bailey's
appointments. However as they had
been questioned he would vouch for
Flnlay Ross, jr., who he stated, Is a
son of his colleague. Select Council
man Flnlay Ross, and a very excellent
young man. Several members rose to
testify to the worth of Lincoln 8. Till
man, the veteran colored fireman, who
was the unanimous choice of his com
pany and whose appointment for this
same position was negatived by the
councils when It was submitted during
the former administration, Mr. Ross,
whose son was last night appointed,
being one of the Republicans who voted
against the ex-mayor's appointments.
M'MULLEN WAS UNKNOWN.
All this was very well and. thorough
ly satisfied the inqulMltive Mr. Burns,
but no one stood up to vouch for Mc
Mullen. The administration members
were plainly worried and chagrined,
worried because they could not find
anybody who knew McMullen, although
common council was searched for some
one who could come over and say Mc
Mullen was "O. K.," chagrined because
the Ignorance of his Identity showed
to the galleries and the Republican
members that not one of their number
hud been consulted about the appoint
ments or even about taking care of
them when they came Into council.
Someone said that Common Council
man Hlckey knew McMullln, but upon
being brought before the body he
waived the unique, distinction, explain
ing thnt he hud merely told a man that
he had heard somebody saying that
McMullln came from the North End.
Then Mr. Fellows got up and ex
mitted that somebody shotild vouch for
a man before he was voted on. No
body got up, however, and the Mc
Mullen mystery still remains unsolved.
Mr. Burns again Indicated that he
would not vote for a man whom no noe
knew and who might possibly be a
one-legged denizen of Dunmore for all
the council knew. The administration
men realized that they would Jeopard
ize the whole batch of appointments if
they attempted to force them through
in bulk, so resolved and succeeded in
having them considered separately.
There was n objection to Tillman
or Ross, they 4,elng unanimously con
firmed on motions respectively by Mr.
Chittenden and Mr. Lansing.
Then came McMullen's turn. Mr.
Manley moved to proceed to his eon
tirnintion. Mr. Rums offered as an
amendment that the appointment be
referred to the police committee reiter
ating his statement that he could not
intelligently vote on the appointment
nt that time. The motion to refer was
lost by a vote of six ayes, ten nays. The
motion to proceed to consider the con
iirmation wus then put and carried by
a two-thirds vote eleven ayes, five,
nays which is necessary for a sus
pension of the rules. Ayes Ross,
Finn. Clarke, Hot-he. Durr, Wagner,
Manley, Fellows, Sehroeder, Frablo,
Coyne 11. Nays Thomas, Williams,
Chittenden. Lnnslliff, Burns 5.
Tho appointment was then confirmed
by a Viva voce vote.
CHITTENDEN WANTED TO KNOW.
Mr. Chittenden wanted to know from
Mr. Thomas, chairman of the sewers
and drains committee, If he had any
knowledge of the capabilities of Bern
ard Martin, whose confirmation thnt
committee recommended for the posi
tion of inspector of the new lateral sew
ers on Monsey avenue and Capousc
u venue.
Mr. Thomas admitted that he did not
know the man; that he took for grant
ed the appointing power was responsible
for the selection and approved of it
without Investigation.
Mr. Chittenden then questioned the
advisability of confirming a man for
Bewer inspector who might be a butch
er or baker or candlestick maker, and
called attention todhe fact that sewers
all over the city are caving In because
they were not properly constructed. An
Inspector, he' contended, should be a
man of practical experience, and hot
merely a ward politician.
Mr. Manley Interposed the remark
that Mr. Chittenden was never known
to question any appointment of Inspec
tors made by the last mayor, and
thought It came with bad grace for him
to begin now that a Democratic mayor
was making the appointments.
Mr. Chittenden reported that he had
opposed the appointment of one of ex
Mayor Connell's sewer inspectors, and
further, that he led the opposition. Mr.
Roche, who was In the back part of the
room, came forward at this juncture
with fire in his eye and war In his heart
and in his most ironical tones asked Mr.
Chittenden when he had experienced
this sudden change of heart. "When
we wanted to defeat the appointment of
Mr. Hallstead for bridge Inspector the
gentleman from the Ninth resorted to
strategy to have the appointment con
firmed." "The gentleman from the Seventh."
angrily retorted Mr. Chittenden, "is
laboring under a misapprehension. I
haven't the slightest idea of what he
refers to."
"When the committee wanted to dis
approve of the appointment, you raised
the point that there was no quorum
preaeeit and we could not act.".
"I had no such purposes In mind as
yon Insinuate when I did that."
The vote was taken and the appoint
ment confirmed. Then Mr. Manley
arose and stated to council that Mr.
Murtin wan in every way competent to
be an inspector, having served as a
foreman for Muldoon ft Bowie for a
number of years.
"Well, why the deuce didn't you say
so in the beginning?" said Mr. Chitten
den. "Because I wouldn't satisfy you that
much." was Mr. Manley s provoking
answer.
SPRCCE STREET PAVE.
Mr. Durr, who is anxious to win a din
ner on a bet that the pave will be down
on Spruce street, in front of Hotel Jer
myn, befoie May 26, succeeded In get
ting council to go into the eighth order
of business at the opening of the meet
ing and secured the passage on third
reading of the ordinance providing for
the same. It was Immediately sent
over to common council and passed on
two readings. Ordinances for a per
manent man for the Niagaras and an
other for the Reliefs passed in like
manner.
Mr. Chittenden for the streets and
bridges committee, reported favorably
the New street obstruction ordinance,
and it was referred for printing. The
compluint of S. Tanhauser, of 417 New
York street, . that his lots had been
flooded by reason of the city blocking
a natural water course, was Investigat
ed by the streets und bridges commit
tee, which reported that Mr. Tanhauser
had no cause to compluin against the
city. Later a letter was read from Mr.
Tanhauser in which he warned the city
against building the proposed Larch
street sewer through his private alley.
The sewers and drains committee,
through Mr. Thomas recommended that
the contract for the lateral sewer on
Webster avenue, between Myrtle and
Ash streets, be awarded to P. Thorn
ton & Co. at the price of $1.64 per. lineal
foot, and that the contract for con
structing the lateral sewer on Wheeler
avenue, between Muiherry and Vine
streets, be awardd to the same contrac
tors, at the price of $2.02 per Jlneal foot.
Mr. Manley presented an ordinance
providing for covering cement side
walks with sheet asphalt. It was re
ferred for printing. Mr. Finn Intro
duced an ordinance regulating the
manner of re-ln ylng curbing and flag
stone sidewalks which was ulso re
ferred. An ordinance transferring
$7,000 from the appropriation for the
cure of tire department horses to make
a fund for the repair of engine houses
was Introduced by Mr. Finn and re
ferred for printing. A resolution was
passed asking for plans for a retaining
wall on East Market street near the
Ontario and Western depot.
The Nealis viaduct resolution was
referred to committee. The resolutions
looking towards the paving of Ninth,
Jackson and Koblnson streets were con
curred in,
IN COMMON COUNCIL.
Nealis People Attempt a Bold Coup DM
Are Defeated.
The Nealis faction of common coun
cil last night attempted to land Messrs.
Nealis and Sweeney on the auditing
committee by having passed a resolu
tion making the chairman of all com
mittees members of the auditing com
mittee, Instead of the chairmen of a
certain few committees now prescribed
by the rules. The fact that Mr. Regan
Intioduced the measure left it open to
suspicion and when after some discus
sion the true purpose of it was dis
covered, the Grler people set them
selves against It and succeeded in hav
ing It laid on the table. The vote was
as follows:
Ayes Simon Thomas, Gilroy, Molr,
Wensel, Wirth, Seaman, Oliver, Keller.
Noone, McGra.il, Grler 11.
Nays Gordon, R. E. Thomas, Regan,
Flanaghan, Nealis, Zeidler, Hickey, Nor-ton-8.
The ordinance for paving Spruce
street butween Wyoming and Franklin
avenues passed first and second read
ings, after coming over from the se
lect branch, and as a consequence Mr.
Durr's bet is so much the nearer won.
The ordinances for the widening and
paving of Jackson, Robinson and Ninth
streets also passed first and second
readings.
A resolution calling for a profile of
grade on Larh Street between Wash
ington and Wyoming, avenues; a reso
lution for a stone culvert .over Leach
creek on Bloom avenue, and a resolu
tion making the chairman of the park
committee a member of the auditing
committee were introduced and ap
proved. THE CONFEDERATE SPY.
St. Psnl's Orsmstie Association, of Green
Ridge. Presented It.
Before a larjye audience in the paro
chial hall of St. Paul's parish, Ureen
Ridge, the "Confederate Spy" was pre
sented last night by St. Paul's Dra
matic association. For an amateur
performance It exceeded ' expectations
and the warmest applause was evoked
repeatedly.
There was one point that commanded
special observation; it was the thor
ough and well versed style in which
each one spoke his or her lines. This
was due to careful rehearsing.
The plot of the "Confederate Spy" is
familiar. J. B. Nlland, as General
Meade, was very good. His brother,
P. Daly Nlland, as the Federal scout,
was the leading one in the play. His
part was rendered with the ease and
nr'lstlc style nf a prufoculunul.
M'es Kathrvn Fitznatrlelr ncln.l ih.
paVt of Mabel Meredith: Miss Nana
Oliver, that of Lottie Evans, her cousin,
and SHss May Early, that of Mrs.
Moses Mulvey.. The three young ladles
were vivacious and sprightly and their
cleverness did much toward the suc
cess of the play. The other members
of the east were J. W. Kelley, M. J.
F. Phillips, William B. Hicks, Wr. E.
Dougherty and H. F. Hart.

POSTPONED UNTIL JULY I.
Merolo Respited Yesterday by Governor
llnstlns.
A dlFpatch received In this city yes
terday slates that Murderer Crezenzo
Mernlo has been granted a further lease
cf life. Governor Hastings yesterday
extended the daie of execution from
May 26 to Wednesday, July 1. He has
sixty-eight days to live yet, unless he
should be grantr.d a further.resplte lat
er or If the board of pardons dc?s not
commute his sentence.
The probable reason the respite was
granted Is because the hanging would
conflict with the opening nf the state
conclave of Knights Templar In this
city next month. Merolo will not be
notified until Sheriff Clemcus receives
the official document from Harrisburg.
JOHN 111 GMHITES

DIPLOMAS" GKAXTED TO MAXY
Mrs. Frances t. Ilsekley Wss in the Audience-Remarks
by E. B-Sturgcs
and W. H. llacll-Excreises In
clude an Entertainment.
-The first annual commencement of
the John Raymond Institute of Manual
Training, of the Young Men's Chris
tian association, and the association's
educattonal department, took place
last night In the association hall. The
proceedings were witnessed by an au
dience of pupils and their friends and
others which completely filled the hall.
Mrs. Frances E. Hackley, of New
York city, whose endowment of $25,000
last year made the Institute polble,
was an Interested spectator. She oc
cupied a seat in the auditory with Mrs.
Thomas Dickson, although before the
exercises began she had been asked to
occupy a seat on the platform. She,
however, declined, asking the privilege
of a spectator rather that) a participa
tor. out In the lobby near the general sec
retary's office there was displayed dur
ing the evening an exhibit of plumbing,
bookkeeping, drawing, etc., which gave
an Idea of the Work of the pupils in
some of the departments.
W. H. Buell presided over the com
mencement after It had been formally
opened by Secretary Mahy. On the
platform were President A. W. Dick
son and E. B. Sturges. and they were
later Joined by H. H. Burroughs, direc
tor of the Industrial department.
A quartette. Messrs. Runyon, Croft,
Holcomb and Dryer, sanV and a brief
prayer was said by President Dickson.
MR. BCELL INTRODUCED.
Mr. Stnrges was very Informally In
troduced by Mr. Buell and spoke with
much feeling concerning the Raymond
institute and its significance as the de
velopment of present-day Ideas and of
the true benevolence of Mrs. Hackley,
by whom the Institute was created. He
said that everything that assists the in
dustrial class of people is grandly noble.
This suggested a deserved tribute to
Mrs. Huckley, who, Mr. Sturges said,
was owed a deb', of gratitude by the
whole city for her munificent gift of
$2.".O0O which was bestowed with the
only condition that it should be used
for helping young men and women. His
ur,i;estlon that the audience should
rise and thus show their appreciation
of Mrs. Hackley's generosity met with
a ready response and the Chatauqua
salute was given at the instigation of
Mr. Bueil.
A duct was sung by Miss Black and
Miss Uarrtgan.
Mr. Buell In a brief speech said that
the Industrial and educational depart
ments contained nineteen classes which
had met In 928 sessions and Included
307 students who comprised an all-class
membership cf 833. In the manual
training department were 149 pupils,
U0 young men and twegty-nlne young
women; In the English classes were
sixty pupils, and In the business de
partment ninety-eight.
PRESENTED WITH MEDALS.
Harry B. Taylor, of the plumbing
class, and W. J. Klngsman, of the busi
ness department, the winners of the
industrial and educational prises re
spectively, were called to the platform
by Mr. Buell and presented with their
gold medal trophies.
Then were read the names of those

INSPECTION FINISHED.
North End and Petersburg Companies
Visited Yesierduy by City Officials.
The Inspection of the fire department
houses was completed yesterday af
ternoon. Mayor Bailey, Chief Ferber,
Controller Robinson, Building Inspec
tor Nclsrn and Messrs. Finn, Noone,
Gordon, Simon Thomas, Durr and Wen
xel constituted the party which made
the visits yesterday. The houses in
spected were the General Phlnney,
Niagara, Liberty, Excelsior and Cum
berland of the North End and Rellsi
sf Petersburg-. At the latter place the
party was dined.'
The only thing which was the cause
of unfavorable criticism was the fact
that two companies, the Llbertys am
Niagaras, occupy the same building.
A movement is now on foot to take
both companies out of the building,
which Is altogether unsulted for fire
department purposes, and move one
of the companies to Park Place and
the other to Main avenue, above the
square.
Tho terrible condition of the Provi
dence station house which Is in the cel
lar of the same building watt called to

councllmcn.
CANDIDATES ENTERTAINED.
Members of ths Executive Committee
Wero Wined on J IHned Last Nisht.
The members of the Democratic ex
ecutive committee of the city held a
meeting in the ofllce of C. O. Boland In
the Republican building last night and
wound up the business affairs con
nected with the late campaign. Oeorge
S. Horn presided over the meeting and
R. J. Branilsh waB secretary.
After the business affairs were dis
posed of the committeemen were en
tertained by Mayor Bailey. City Treas
urer lirdand and City Controller Robin
son. A tempting lunch was provided,
as well as good things to wash It down
with.
Then followed a season of speech
making, during which nearly all of the
members of the committee made ad
dresses. Mayor Bailey and the other
city officials were also heard from .The
matter of appointments was not
touched upon by the Mayor, nor was
it taken up by the committee.
A resolution was adopted to refer the
matter of making a new code of rules
for the government of the Dartv in
sthe city to a committee of seven to be
appointed by Chairman George 8.
Horn. This committee will report to
the executive, which will then if It
deems proper call a special convention
for the consideration of the new rules.
It Is the intention to provide a uniform
system of conducting primary elections
and to make changes In the rules as
they exist now.
Mayor Bailey announced after his re
turn from New York that he would
have pome appointments to submit to
the select council next Thursday night.
The members uf that body are appar
ently not very curious about them, for
they adjourned last night for two
weeks. That delays the agony one
week longer.
Wade Finn is endeavoring to get
enough of select couucllmen to pledge
themselves to vote for the con Urina
tion forthwith of Frank Robltng as
chief of police to Insure against council
rejecting him In the event of Mayor
Bailey naming him for the otllce.
BLACK FEVER IN OHIO.
Five of a Herd of Jersevs Die and the
Disease Spreads.
Yoftngstown, Ohio, April 23. An epl
demlc of what Is known as black fever
appeared In a herd of standard bred
registered Jerseys on the stock farm of
Frank Jacobs. Five died and symp
toms of the disease are manifested In
others.
Veterinary Surgeon Brag Is unable
to check the progress of the disease.
It is probable the entire herd of twenty
will be killed and the carcasses burned
to prevent the disease spreading to
other stock. It Is the first instance in
which the disease has been seen In this
section of the state.

What a silly thing it is to attempt to
conduct any 'business, be it millinery,
clothing, real estate or any line of legiti
mate trudo upon the assumption that your
patrons, whose trade you solicit, are to
be creatures entirely bereft of Interest.
You can depend upon It when cheap
prices -are advertised the articles so ad
vertised ure cheap or out of date. Per
haps such advertising "pays," but that Is
not the kind we do. We ure selling mil
linery upon the basis of a permanent and
constantly increasing trade to make it
an advertising medium by itself, and ns
we stated In our first "ad." which was
our bow to the public and we state it
again. Our styles and qualities are right
and prices as low as any house in the
state. If purchases are not entirely sat
Isfiictory, return the goodn and got your
money.
