Three different ordiii'iooes for nar

consideration. The ordinance ror nar
rowing Wyoin'ng avenue, bet.v-.n Lin

mid second lend lugs; that providing
for narrowing the remainder tit flay
avenue passed second reading und the
one providing for narrowing ttp Mul
berry street from Wyoming avenue to
Jefferson uventie passed third and final
rending.
The question 1ms been so thoroughly
discussed that none of the members
thought lit to say might more on the
subject ami the measure passed with
out debate. Messrs. Lansing. Mcl'unn
and HobiiiMon wanted themselves put
on record us being opposed to mil low
ing roadways in the Central city mid
nil throe voted uguinst Hie last enum
erated ordinance.
Air. Matiby oH'ored a resolution em

wurd for the mrest of Van Horn. Hie
slayer of Mrs. Wescott, bill council re
fused to approve or the measure, argu
ing Hint it is the duly of the county
commissioner to attend to such mai
lers. Mr. Williams, in senkliigon tho
subject, snid tie did not believe in the
first place in relieving Hie county com
missioners of their obligation, nnd in
the second place I he city had not the
means to offer a reward. Jle added
that he was anxious that Hie scoundrel
should be caught und Was w illing to go
down in his pocket mid help make up a
suitable reward If the other mum Union
would Join with him. Messrs. Krable
and Lansing also spoke against the
measure, contending thai it was not
within the province of councils to lake
such n step. Mr. Mauley wus the only
member to vote in favor of the resolu
tion. CITY PKINTINt.
Mr. Oliver's substitute for the Chit
tenden resolution on the matter of city
printing came over from common coun
cil and was passed. Mr. Chittenden's
resolution called for bids for the re
mainder of the fiscal year. The substi
tute provides thut the city printers of
lust year be given the printing and ad
vertising If they are willing to do It at
the contract price of lust year. Coun
cils neglected to renew the contracts or
call for new bids at the beginning of the
llscal year and as a consequence the
heads of departments have been giving
their printing und advertising to any
paper they saw tit at any price the pa
per snw lit to charge. Councils were
loth to confess their neglect, hut when
the bills commenced to come In thick
and fast nt the regulation prices paid
by oilier corporations they hud to make
a move, much to their chagrin.

WORKING TO SAVE
JOSEPH BOSCHINO
His Case Almost Ready lor the Board
of Pardons.

tary of tbe Pardon Hoard Ten Days
Before Case I ArguedArsuuieut

Wednesday, Kept. loPetition Will
Coutain S.OOO Sigiiuturcv.Whnt
he Application ill lie Based 1'pon.
Attorneys Ward & Horn and L. P.
Wedeman are making strong efforts to
save Murderer Joseph Hoschino from
the gallows, and there Is a belief that
Ids sentence will be commuted to Im
prisonment for life. On Saturday they
will mall to Lewis K. Peltier, secretury
of the board of pardons, the papers In
the case, and on Wednesday, Sept. Ill,
the argument will be made before the
board at lo a. m. in the Supreme court
chamber at Harrisbutg.
A certified copy of every paper from
the time Hoschino was committed to juil
down to the opinion of the Supreme
court refusing a new trial will have to
be sent to the board of pardons and filed
with the clerk ten duys before the case
comes up for urgumeiit.
KKASOX Fill! APPLICATION. '
Tiie ground on which the application
will be based Is Hoschino's previous
good character and the alleged unstable
testimony of the commonwealth. John
Moran, one of the principal witnesses
for the commonwealth, swore at the
coroner's Inquest that It wus so dark
the evening of the murder that he could
not see the man who fired the shot, and
could not recognize the color of his
clothes.
At the trial In court Miran swore di
rectly the opposite und positively iden
tified Hoschino as the murderer. He
accounted for the disparity between the
two statements by declaring he did not
tell the truth ut thtlnquest. They will
argue that such testimony ought nut
weigh against u man's life.
Bosch i no, Antonio lnibriuno and Itoc
co Salvatore Were held to await the ac
tion of the grand jury for the murder
of Confortl, but the latter two were not
Indicted. They were the remaining
principal witnesses for the common
wealth, and It will be urgued that the
fact thut there was enough of evidence
for the coroner's jury to pun suspicion
on them us being, if not actual partici
pants, at least accessories, ought to de
preciute their evidence ugainst Uos
chiuo's life and surround their stories
with a reasonable doubt for the benefit
of the prisoner.
A petition will be presented to the
board and Attorney Horn suid yester
day that he thinks It will be signed by
2.000 citizens of tills county asking for
commutation of sentence.
HOSCHINO'S CitlMK.
The crime for which Hoschino Is under
sentence of death was the murder ul
Frank Confortl at Hunker Hill. Ditn
inore, on Sunday evening, Nov. 11, lfcs4.
Hoschino's execution was llxed for Aug
ust 5. but It was postponed until Oct. 1
to give his attorneys a chance to go
before the board of pardons for him.
At the time of the murder there was
little doubt thut Boschlno was the mur
derer. He disappeared Immediately
alter the shooting und wus arrested in
Forest lily two weeks litter.
District Attorney John It. Jones, on
the part of the commonwealth, will op
pose the commutation of Hoschino's sen
tence, and will argue that the killing
was willful, . deliberate and premedi
tated and the perpetrator of It deserv
ing of death; that Boschlno wns found
guilty after a fair uud impurtiul trial
and the verdict of the court ought not
to be disturbed, but the law ought to
tuke its course.
SWOONS ON THE STAND.
Civil Suit wilh TrnliircN nt Alilcrmuu
Howe's Court.
A civil suit in Alderman Howe's office
wa.H brought to a rather abrupt and un
usual termination yestetduy. Mrs.
Daniel Thomas, wife of the defendant,
while on the witness stand fell in n
fit und had to receive medical attend
ance. It was a suit for wages brought by
Mrs. Thomas' son-in-law, David Lewis.
He went to work on the Thomas farm
ut Spring Brook In 1SH2. Before payday
came he married Thomas' daughter and
the mutter of wages was lost sight of.
Recently Lewis hud a fulling out with
his wife us a result, of too much inter
ference in his ramily alTalrs by the old
folks nnd the result was thut his wife
left him and went back to her parents.
When the interruption came in yester
ny's proceedings, the litigants got to
gether and Lewis ugreed to drop the
suit if ids wife's folks ' would allow
their daughter to come back and live
with liim.

the Citizens Street Hallway company of
Scrunton, too petitioner, tjja genatoa
raeOon company, alleging that the
otluft hud been illegally chartered and
ho,d no rights to occupy the streets."
The Soranion Traction company
argues that the Citzens company should
varat its charter on the ground; that
tho latter company obtained the char
ter by representing that the iroute it
proposed to travel was not occupied by
any other street railway company. The
former maintains that? the charter of
the Citizens company permits it to oc
cupy streets on which the former holds
the right to lay tracks.

the whole set for a small

laud China is cheapest
because it is tough and
