Short but Busy Session) of the
Lower Braach.
One of the most Important meetings
that select council has held In many
a day was that of last night. The Citi
zens' Street railway ordinance was
killed, John Fltzsimmohs' appointment
to become captain of police was ad
versely treated, the Dunn paving con
tract was taken up from where court
had pinioned it and received such treat
ment as to make Its friends fear for Its
welfare, ex-Patrolman T. V. Lewis'
claim for wages during his suspension
was Ignored and a' whole lot of other
important matters were dealt with.
The biggest surprise of the evening
was the killing of the Citlsens' railway
franchise without a voice being raised
against the slaughter If we except the
father of the measure, Mr. Finn, who
half-heartedly cast the single ballot
that prevented Its death being recorded
as unanimously agreed to.
The railway committee, to which the
ordinance was referred for investiga
tion, spent Tuesday in going over the
conflicting routes under the pilotage ot
the Traction company and on Wednes
day evening got together for about fif
teen minutes and glanced over a paper,
type-written, and faultless as regards
grammar and punctuation, to which
the following report as presented last
night bears a remarkable resemblance:
REPORT OF COMMITTEE.
To the Select Council:
Your committee to whom was referred
the annexed ordinance, beg to report ad
versely upon it for the following reasons:
First The company would not be au
thorized to build uny part of its road unrll
It obtained the consent of Dunmore bor
ough. To pass this ordinance now, would
tie our hands completely as to all these
streets, until such time as Dunmore bor
ough should choose to act. It would be a
clear case of the tail wagging the dog.
Second .Many of the streets or portions
Of them proposed to be occupied by this
company, are already occupied or author
ized to bo occupied by other companies.
We do not understand that the law allows
us to authorize two companies to lay
tracks on the same street.
Third This ordinance provides that the
company will use 2,500 feet of the track
of other companies on Lackawanna und
Franklin avenues. This exhausts their
power to use other tracks than their own,
but under this ordinance they propose to
occupy other streets on which there are
already tracks laid. down. To do this they
must either build another track, or use
the track of the other company after hav
ing already used their limit of 2.CU0 feet in
other pluces. As we understand It, either
of these would bo illegal.
Fourth As. the privileges asked for in
this ordinance seem to Involve a violation
of law we think the legal rights of the
company should he settled before the city
acts. The company should present an or
dinance that on the face of it at least does
not appear to be a violation of law.
Fifth 'We do not think we should sur
render control of these streets to await the
pleasure of the borough of Dunmore, or
during a protracted litigation In the courts.
It will be time enough for the city to act
after, tjiese other questions are settled.
Sixth On many streets rights for double
track are asked where already one track Is
laid. We do not think that there should be
three tracks on any street, even If It
snould be legal, which It Is no. For In
stance,' on Spruce street, from Washing
ton n venue to Adams avenue; on Roaring
Brook bridge approach and the bridge
to l'ittston avenue from River street
to Hickory; on Adams avenue, Mat
tes street to Cedar avenue from
from Lackawanna avenue to River
street; on Swetland street from Chest
nut to Ninth street; on Gibson street
from Washington avenue to Adams
avenue; on Washington avenue from Uib,
son street to Ash street; on Green Rldgts
street from Washington avenue to Wyo
ming avenue. Respectfully yours,
H. T. Fellows, Chairman
THEY DID NOT SIGN IT.
The other members of the committee,
Messrs. Robinson, Ross, Schroeder and
Burns, did not attach their signatures
to the report but by their consent to Its
death evidenced their stand In the mat
t?r. It waa on a motion by Mr. Durr,
seconded by Mr. Manley, that the report
was adopted.
As announced in yesterday's Tribune
the Republicans caucused before the
me ting to decide Anally what action
they would take regarding the appoint
ment of John Fltzslmmons to succeed
Joseph Taylor as patrolman and to
eventually become captain of police.
They agreed to a man not to vote for
confirmation and when the nomination
came from the police committee the
Republican ten were found solidly ar
rayed ag'.ilnEt It.
The matter was disposed of In short
order and without any discussion. A
majority of the committee, Messrs. Finn,
Chittenden and Wagner handed in an
adverse report and Messrs. Coyne and
McAndrew, the democratic members of
the committee presented a minority rec
ommendation ithat the appointment be
confirmed. Mr. Coyne moved the adop
tion of the minority report and it was
lost on a tie vote;
Ayes Kearney, Clarke, Roche, Robin
son, Manley, McCann, Burns, Frable,
Coyne, McAndrew 10.
Nays Ross, Finn, Thomas, Williams,
Durr, Chittenden, Wagner, Sanderson,

After the result was announced the
greater part of the large crowd which
filled the spectators' reservations filed
out, sadly, showing that the appoint
ment was the most interesting to them
of the many interesting matters which
came up last night.
CALL UP FOR RECONSIDERATION.
Later In the evening Mr. Chittenden,
forgetful of the fact thait action on
an apptntment can not be reconsidered,
called up the Fltsslmmons nomination

for reconsideration, his purpoa being to
defeat the motion to reconsider so that
it could) never be brought up again. His
motion was lost on a tie voto but there
was little Interest manifested In the bal
loting aa It dawned upon all before the
roll call had fairly begun that tho action
waa superfluous at all events.
In considering two other appoint-
ments by the mayor, P. J. McCann to
become park commlsloner and Joseph
Schoff to be permanent man at the
Crystal hose house, the Republicans
were designedly foremost In making the
necessary parliamentary moves for
their confirmation and each received
the votes of every councilman present.
The first test of select councils' atti
tude In the Barber-Dunn Bros.' fight
was not overly encouraging to the
Dunns. Vnder the head of concurrent
business the resolution awarding the
Monroe avenue paving contract to Dunn
Bros, was taken from the box, where It
has been held three weeks by an In
junction from court, and after being
read by Clerk Lavelle was placed be
fore the house on a motion by Mr,
Coyne to concur In -the action of com
mon council President Sanderson call
ed Mr. Wagner to the chair and taking
the floor made as an amendment that
the matter be referred to .the city solle
itor for an opinion as to the possibility
of the city being mulcted In costs on ac
count of any Irregularities that may
have occurred in the proceedings of
common council while the resolution
was on its passage there. As a proof
of the wisdom of adopting his sugges
tion. Colonel Sanderson cited a recent
case In Harrlsburg where the city had
to pay the whole cost of a pavement be
cause the assessment was not made In
the regular manner by councils. Mr,
McCann seconded the amendment,
THOUGHT IT UNUSUAL.
Mr. Roche said the proceeding to h'.m
seemed very unusual. Col. Sanderson
had no right; he said, to question the
regularity of a resolution that came
from the other branch properly certi
fled by its chairman, and besides the
course suggested by Colonel Sanderson
is an unnecessary one, as the city solic
itor must approve of the ordinance and
contract when they come into his hands
through the regular channel. In an
swer to this. Colonel Sanderson stated
that he was not antagonistic to tre
resolution, but merely wanted to make
sure that everything was all right, so
that they could feel perfectly safe In
legislating on the motion.
The discussion closed with Mr,
Coyne's contention that court hod ruled
that the proceedings were wholly regu
lar. A vote on Colonel Sanderson's
amendment, to refer the resolution to
the ci.ty solicitor, was then taken and
resulted as follows:
Ayes Ross, Finn, Kearney, Thomas,
Willtnms, Durr, .Chittenden, Manley,
McCann, Fellows, Schroeder. Burns,
Frable, McAndrew. Sanderson 15.
Nays Clarke, Roche, Wagner, Rob
inson, Coyne 5.
-' THE LEWIS CLAIM
City Solicitor Torrey's adverse opln
ion on the claim of ex-Patrolman
Thomas V. Lewis, was adopted by ooun
ctl only after a close vote of eleven to
nine. Lewis was suspended from Jan
uary 6, 1893, to March 28, 1893, when his
dismissal occurred. When ex-Patrol
man Mills received pay by order of
councils for the time he was under in
vestlgation, Lewis deemed himself also
entitled to similar consideration and
put in a claim of (225. Mr. Torrey, how
ever, rules that Lewis' claim Is not
parallel with that of Mills.
Lewis was suspended January 6 and
on January 19, select council ratified
the mayor's action. Mills' suspension
was not ratified by councils at all, the
mayor having sent in no notice of it to
council until the dismissal was trans
mitted for approval. Mills, according
to Mr. Torrey's opinion, was in the city's
employ until select council concurred In
the mayor's action. Lewis, likewise,
was not entitled to draw pay after
January 19, when council approved of
the mapor's action In dismissing him.
Mr. Durr, who is championing Lewis'
cause, presented copies of the opinions
of Mr. Torrey In the previous cases and
asked that ail three opinions be referred
to a committee that they might com
pare them and ascertain whether or
not the solicitor has experienced 'a
change of mind In this matter since he
wrote the first opinion. The motion
was lost by the following vote and
Lewis' claim killed:

CALLED CHARACTER WITNESSES
Some of Then Did Not Create a Very
Fafvorable laapreaeiom While on the
KtaadTryiag to Prove That the
Little Girls Mere WarwardVer
diet in the Skiek Case.
Maggie Conway relies upon an at'
tempt to prove that she is a hard work
ing woman with two children, deserted
by her husband and forced to go out
washing and scrubbing to earn her liv
ing, and that the little girls now figur
ing In the case in court were at her
house for no other purpose than to take
care of her little boy and girl while she
was away from home. This was the
story she told and what her witnesses
told yesterday after the common'
wealth's case closed, and after the de
fense rested the commonwealth put
witnesses to rebut the vldence of the
defense and also to show that the per
sons who gave Mrs. Conway a good
character do not bear a good reputa
tlon themselves. The case will go to
the Jury today, before noon probably.
Mrs. Philip Riley, ot Maple street.
South Side, whose husband Is one of the
men who Is alleged was guilty of un
lawful conduct with the girls, was the
first witness called yesterday and her
testimony was very unfavorable to the
defendant Mrs. Klley went at an early
hour one morning last November to
Mrs. Conway's place on Price street to
get her husband. She saw Qwennle
Thomas and Mamie Finley leave the
house, and they appeared to have been
there all night.
MAGGIE CONNORS' STORY.
Maggie Connors, another of the girls,
was put on trial. She Is about fourteen
years old and when Mrs. Conway lived
on Price street the girl secured work at
the rate of fifty cents a week minding
the children, but she was there only two
days when Mrs. Conway sent her out
for beer for the entertainment of Harry
Miller, Edward Phillips and Michael
Murphy. The defendant was very often
in the habit of receiving male visitors,
who remained until the next day. The
witness swore that Mrs. Conway forced
her to occupy the same room with John
son, the ashman, one night.
Mrs. James Phillips testified that she
Is the mother of Edward Phillips, whp
Is mentioned as one of the frequenter
of the defendant's place. Mrs. Phillips
said that her son was In the habit of
absenting himself from home and she
learned that he was with Mrs. Conway.
Going to the latter's house one morning
she found her son and the defendant In
the same room.
Mrs. Annie Thomas, mother of Gwen
nle, swore that last Monday evening she
was approached by Mrs. Conway, Annie
Toole, and a young man and was offered
$50 to settle the case. The witness put
them off by telling them that she could
not settle It if she tried, that Mrs. Dug
gan had the matter In hand. At this
stage the commonwealth rested.
ASKED TO NAME THE COUNT.
Mr. Kelley, for the defense, then asked
that the commonwealth specify upon
which count a conviction would be ask
ed for. Mrs!, Conway Is Indicted upon
nine different counts, that is enticing
different persons at different times.
She could not be tried for more than
one offense at one time. District At
torney Jones specified that the convic
tion of the defendant would be asked
on one count, enticing Gwennle Thorn
as and Mamie Finley. Ex-Judge Stan
ton made the opening address for the
defense. He said It would be proven
that the girls were nothing better than
street walkers.
Mrs. Conway was put on the stand In
her own behalf. Her maiden name Is
Holmes and she lived In Providence un
til 17 years of age. when she married a
young man named Patrick Conway.who
lived a few years with her and then de
serted her. She entered a total denial
of having enticed the girls Into her
house, and affected to be the victim of
malicious prosecution on the part of
ov.ffilof nf Tnl ra W T Qlmnonn nM.l
Mrs. Duggan. She swore that the girls
were aepravea uerore they came to her
house and that she harbored them out
of charity because their parents let
them run wild and neglected them.
REPUTATION OF THE GIRLS.
Edward Stark, night watchman at
the Oxford, and patrolman James Saul
were called to prove that the girls were
wayward. The defense failed to prove
anything by these witnesses. Several
women were called who claimed to have
known Mrs. Conway for a long time.
and each one of them swore that she
was a hard-working, honest woman
mindful of her amlly. District Attor
ney Jones asked one of the character
witnesses where she lived.
no. 17 Lackawanna avenue," was
her answer.
What Is your business there?" said
he.
'I don't see how that's any of your
business " nhf rpnlled
Further questioning brought out the
fact that she has two husbands living
and that, to use her own words, she does
not know nor does not care where they
are at present
Another woman named Johnson said
that Mrs. Conway's reputation for
chastity and morality Is unquestioned.
Mr. Jones asked her how many times
she had been raided by the police for
keeping a "nigger" dive. This was the
average kind of witness sworn In be
half of the defendant.
Ex-Chief Simpson, Thomas V. Lewis
and Officer Steve Dyer testified In re
buttal that Mrs. Conway's reputation
has been bad. Other witnesses will be
called to prove the same fact today.
HOLLOW FOUND GUILTY.
In the case of Esther Shlek, of Dun
more, against Charles Hollow, a ver
dict of guilty as to immoral conduct
waa returned, but the defendant was
acquitted of being the father of her
child.
The case of the Prudential Life Insur
ance company against Peter Engle, on

trial before Judge Archbald.

ONE REASON FOR THE GREAT 8INQ-
ER'8 SUCCESS
Never Nenroas the Stag e.-
The Chicago Record of October 21. un
der personal mention column, has this
to say of the greatest vocalist in the
world: "Madame Melba is never nerv
ous on the stage, and she attributes her
Immunity from the misfortune which
afflicts most opera singers to her simple
diet. She holds that indlgestlon.brought
on by Irregular and self-indulgent hab
its of eating, is the great cause of nerv
ousness and worry among actors and
singers."
This is true, not only of actors and
singers, but of business men and wo
men, as well as school children; in fact,
the American nation is fast becoming
a nation of nervous, high-strung dys
peptics.
The Idea Is, not to diet and starve
one's self, but to eat plenty of whole
some food, and after each meal take a
harmless but effective digestive prepa
ration like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Take one or two ot these Tablets after
each meal and no matter how weak the
Btomach. they will thoroughly digest
the food: it does not remain in the
stomach for hours to ferment, decay
and poison the blood and nerves.
While Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
pleasant to take and simple In their ac
tion, yet they are probably the safest
and most reliable cure for all stomach
troubles, loss of flesh and appetite, pal
pitation, sour or acid stomach, gas and
distress after meals. Not only a relief,
but a permanent cure for all stomach
diseases except cancer of the stomach.
