SOME BUSINESS-LIKE RESOLUTIONS

Some decided action Is going to be
taken on two important matters now
agitating municipal circles the Provi
dence turnpike muddle and the lay
ing of street car tracks for the mere
purpose of protecting a franchise.
Select council Is making the Initial
move. Before last night's meet
ing ille members grouped themselves
about the t ear of I lie room ojid in
formally discussed these two iUestlons.
The result was the introduction and
adoption of the following resolutions
by Jlr. Chittenden, who evinced the
deepest interest In the movement:
That the street commissioner be directed
lo lm mi-' tin L I v cause the arrest ol any
and all persons, except employes of he
city, who shall be found 'repairing the i 1
known as the Providence and Ahington
turnpike, within the city limits. Persons
so arrested shall be brought before any
of die al'leriuan of the city lo be dealt
with m-cording to law and ordinance.
I hat Die fit v solicitor be directed to
anjicur before the grand jury or the cottn
ly and rerpiesi the condemnation of the
itovhi, nre ana Aliington turnpike. Its eii

.Thill the cltv solicitor bp instruct! 1 to
lake charge of all legal proceedings in the
case of the Providence and Ahlnotoii turn
pike against the elly and of all other legal
mailers ami that all oilier attorneys now
under pay by the city be discharged.
That the city solicitor report whether
01' not it would be Icirnl tn tew u tv
$1 per lineal foot on all street railway
tracks not in actual use.
HHFOKK THK OKAXD JI'RV.
A special meeting of common council
will be called for .Monday night so that
the resolution ralllni for the condem
nation of the turnpike may become
operative before the present grand Jury
adjourns, which will probably be on
Tuesday. In case the grand jury fin
ishes its work before that lime District
Attorney Jones will be asked to provide
for a special session Tuesday or con
tinue the present session tint 14 that
time.
The Idea that select council lias In
view regarding the turnpike is to have
Ihe whole road condemned and pur
chased Jointly by J he city and county.
the elly paying for thut portion that
Is within the city limits. Then the city
will offer the right of way over the road
to ihe llrst street car company that will
agree to pave it from curb to curb. It
was agreed by those banded together
on this movement that under-no oiuer
consideration will the franchise, be
granted for Hint street.
The resolution looking lo the taxing
of unused railway tracks may not have
the desired result, as it Is 11 question
whether such a procedure would be le
gal. If it is found that II is not per- I
missildo some other umtelTi-ctive means
will be adopted to prevent tie- utilise at
which it is aimed.
Resolutions directing Ihe cily engi
neer lo prepare plans, etc., for paving
Kressh-r court with vltrilied bride on
a concrete base; directing the cliy clerk
lo publish the petition for the above
Improvement; extending to the Carpen
ters and Joiners' union an invitation
lo hold their next convention in this
city; directing the city solicitor In pro
ceed against all collectors of delinquent

and an ordinance for two electric lights
In Ihe Fourteenth ward were among the
measures introduced and approved of.

ANOTHER DIVORCE HEARING.
Mrs. Jennie Swallow Told tho Story
of Her Husband's Cruelty.
Testimony was taken in chambers
yesterday afternoon before Judge F.d
wanls in the divorce suit of Mrs. Jen
nie Swallow against her husband. Isaac
W. Swallow. Attorney M. J. McAn
drew took the stenographic notes, and
Attorney M. W. Lowry appeared for
the libellant.
The couple vns married on May 16,
1882. by Rev. Mr. Fulton, of Plttston.
They lived on Kromley avenue on the
West Side, and the sea of mntrimony
was anything but placid for them. She
alleges that he has a furious and un
controllable temper, nnd was frequent
ly In the habit of treating her very
cruelly. Although she was forced to
leave the house many times to escape
his wrath, she did not go away for
good until Aug. 8 last.
C. J. Ilelmes swore that Mrs. Swal
low had to leave her husband on ac
count of his cruelty and he was the In
termediator In effecting a reconcilia
tion once. Katie Oliver, a servant girl,
swore that the respondent was in the
habit of abusing his wife. Swallow Is
a railroader.
W0B0LIS A GAY DECEIVER.
Hits Fniled lo Keep His Promise with
Mrs. IHnrr Ltiknslirvicli.
Mrs. Mary Luknslievlch, a North End
widow with three children, brought
suit yesterday against Peter Wabolls
for damages In the sum of $5,000 for
breach of promise, She Is 33 years old
and he is S3. A capias was issued for
the defendant und IJeputy Sheriff Ward
went up to the N'ilth Klld to tilld hint
lo bring him in und furnish $1.ki ball.
Attorney John Kali Osborne repre
sents Mrs, l.tikashevlcb. It appears
from the record that Peter promised
to lead her to the nltar, and with faith
in him she proceeded with the arrange
ments for the ceremony, on Sept. 12
he borrowed fiO cents from her brother-in-law
and said it was to pay for the
license. The brother-in-law wus In fa
vor of the match and he readily handed
over the coin.
On Sept. 1:1 Mrs. l.ukashevlch learned
that her attilanced had gone to theif
llce of Clerk of the Courts John H.
Thomas and procured a marriage li
cense with a young woman named Hel
en Zuirblls. When Peter came home
from work that evening she upbraided
him for his faithlessness and he admit
ted that she had no charms for him any
longer.
Then she went and saw her attorney
and the papers were drawn up for the
breach of promise suit begun yester
day. Some time previous to Aug. 22
she had a warrant sworn out before Al
derman De Lacy, of the Seventh ward,
charging Wabolls with being the father
of her unborn child. The defendant
gave ball in the sum of $:tfM) for his ap
pearance at court and a few days later
he promised to marry her.
She keeps a boarding house and he
boards next door to her place.
TROUBLE FOR HATT0N.
Street Commissioner Kinsley Is Not
Pleased with the Clerk's Action In
(living Traction Co. the Permit.
There Is bother In the street com
missioner's office over the Issuing of
the Traction company permits. Clerk
Ilntton Is in bad odor with his chief,
and there is Just a possibility that Mr.
Kinsley will have him nrrested. i
Mr. Kinsley avers that Hatton had
no right to Issue permits, and that in
signing the street commissioners' name
without authority he was gurlty of
forgery, though the clerk signed his
own initials tinder the street commis
sioner's signature.
Mr. Hatton holds that. In the ab
sence of the stret commissioner, the
clerk has charge of affairs In the of
fice and that he was only exercising Ills
prerogatives accorded him by ordin
ance, when he hssueil the permits. At
all events. Mr. Kinsley feels that he
bus been placed in n bad light be
fore the public, and that the only way
he can square himself Is lo have his
clerk arrested and show to the world
that It was not only against his wishes
but contrary to his express orders that
the iK-rniits were, granted.
KIXSLKV WAS ASKRP.
Refore going 011 his vacation, Mr.
Kinsley was besought by Ihe Traction
company to Issue the permits. He re
ferred the mutter to the city solicitor,
intending to take It tip again when he
'returned from his vacation. He left
orders with his secretary. Charles De
Long, who has choi-go of the permit
book, not to grant any Traction com
pany permits until he returned. Mr.
DeLong had no opportunity to either
obey or disobey these instruction for
the Traction company went to Mr. Hat
ton with their request. Mr. Hatton
hesitated but when the mayor Hnd city
solicitor advised 111 111 that the company
wns entitled to the permits he granted
tlii-m.
Mr. Kinsley was decidedly wrallty
when he returned and found the Trac
tion company at work on Washington
avenue. As soon us he could get the
Ablngton Turnpike matter oft his
hands he set to work to look after the
permit business. Yesterduy he went
to the llrst block of Washington ave
nue, where operations are now being
carried on. und ordered work to stop
at once. It didn't stop, however. 3en
eral Manager Sfllimun followed Mr.
Kinsley to his nftico and conferred with
him for lnllf an hour or more. Just
what they did is not. known. The
permit book, however, shows that all
the permits, issued by Hatton, except
the one for Washington avenue were
minified by the street commissioner,
evidently without any protest from Mr.
Silliiniin. for he gave over his. original
permits and tool; the duplicates made
out by Mr. Kinsley. The mayor hasn't
signed tlietn as yet. and possibly wont
and in that case Mr. Silliman will be In
a hole.
WAS AFTF.R INFOliMATh X.
A Tribune reporter nn?t Mr. Kinsley
and Jlr. Silliman iu the mayor's office
and sought to be enlightened on the
cause of Mr. Kinsley's action of an
hour or so before iu ordering the Trac
tion company to cease work. The an
swer was that the company was not
exercising sufficient care in keeping the
roadway open for Unfile. Later Mr.
Kinsley told the same reporter that he
had stopped the work in order to find
out whether or not the Traction com
pany had given sufficient bonds to cov
er the cost of the asphalt that was be
ing torn up.
Mr. Hatton, when seen regarding the
affair, said he had heard he was to be
arrested and would be glad if the street
commissioner would take such a step.
UNCLE TOM'S CABIN AT DAVIS'.
Produced by n Very l ompelciit Com
pany of Plnycrs.
'Tncle Tom's Cabin" Is on the boards
at Davis' theatre for the rest of this
week, afternoons and evenings. The
death, a few weeks ago, of Harriet
Rcechor Stowe, the authoress of the
great story, lends especial Interest to
the stage production. at this time.
Yesterday there was a good attend
ance. The venerable play Is fairly welt
told. In the cast are a number of col
ored folks; the chief character, Vncle
Tom, Is handled by Harry Singleton, a
colored man. There Is also a colored
male quartette, and In the death bed
scene of little Eva, prettily Imperson
ated by Ida f4race, the quartette sings
a sympathetic melody. The comedian
Is J. W. Charles. He Is really funny.
Real ferocious bloodhounds are used.
The old maid, Millie Orace. makes much
fun. The show Is pleasing In the end.
It will be repeated this and tomorrow
afternoons and evenings.

HAS ACCEPTED
THE NOMINATION
Edward Merriiield Will Be the Demo
cratic Standard Bearer.
HIS LETTER TO MR, JENNINGS
Hesitated Because He li-likcd to
Euler the Political FieldWill
Only Stand n a Candidate with tho
1 aderotniiding That He Will Mot lie
Kpectcd to Contribute Money to
the Campaign.
Attorney Kdward Merrlfield lias de
cided to accept the nomination for con
gress tendered to him by the Demo
cratic county convention which met on
Sept. 8 In Music hall. Since his nomin
ation Mr. Merrlfield has had the mat
ter of its acceptance under considera
tion, and has had many consultations
with the party leaders regarding it.
He wanted assurance that he would
not be requested to furnish money to
conduct the campaign and his accept
ance Is bused uixui the promise that
he will not have to untie his purse
strings.
In his letter of acceptance he serves
notice that he must not be expected to
contribute. It was sent yesterday to
T. J. Jennings, chairman of the con
vention, and is follows:
Thomas J. Jennings, esq.. Chairman Dem
ocratic Convention:
Hear Sir: Your communication formal
ly notifying me of my nomination for con
gress by the recent Democratic convent ton
has been very carefully considered. No
one more than 1 can have 11 higher appre
ciation of Ihe honor conferred, or coul l
feel more grateful than I for tho good
opinion of those who placed me in this
position. My great hesitation has been my
dislike to again enter the political Held. I
have had a surfeit of the notoriety Incl
dent to a candidacy for offlce.-and 1 had
promised myself that no circumstance
should Induce a repetition.
The conditions surrounding the present
complication have caused me to reconsid
er my objections, which were not only
paramount before, but since the conven
tion: and which were expressed to you In
a formal declination which you have seen
lit to withhold. These are perilous times.
The doctrines of Jefferson, Jackson, Lin
coln and James (). Blaine 011 the subject
of finance are seriously threatened and
those who put me In nomination. In com
mon with invself, believe that their sub
version will be an end (j Republican gov
ernment. WHAT HIS FRIENDS FROiO.
I hnve some friends who seem very anx
ious that 1 should not run. 1 have more
tteu to one) who are equally anxious that
1 should; und put it on the ground, not
onlv of probate success, but ibut It Is a
duty which 1 owe to my party and the
principles 1 represent. If, therefore, 1 can
stand us the candidate without any ex
pectation of my contributing money to run
Iho cunipalgn. I will forego my objections.
The use of money I cannot make. There
was u very expressive motto 011 one of
the banners carried by the Kentucky
farmers at the great Bryan demonstra
tion In Lexington the other day. It read,
"Our burns are full, but our pockets are
empty." I am very much in the same fix.
The ruinous financial policy of .rover
Cleveland and which it Is proposed to con
tinue another four years In case of the
election of McKinlcy, has been so dele
terious to the Industrial and middle class
es, that all business is paralyzed. Nearly
lanO.WKi.iino have been added to the debl of
the nation, and more must follow In case
ot n continuation nf the same policy.
This heavy burden all falls on the la
boring class: for they are the only pro
ducers of weabh. The leading thought
In the minds of the money magnates is
how to make u dollar that will purchiisa
most for tln-ni In the European markets
on ihe other hand, the leading thoughts
in the min is of the common people. Is how
to get lull time employment; and how lo
get any kind nf a dollar that will stay
huncer nnd clothe their nakedness. At
piesent the money power Is 011 top. They
have precipitated a conflict with the in
dustrial masses and the result ought not
to be in doubt. True, they huve the money
and the power. On the other side, there
are the numbers: und It must not be for
gotten thai the "battle to not to the strong
alone, bin to the vigilant, the active und
the hnve." This bailie of Ihe ballots must
be fought by Individual and voluntary ef
fort. It cannot be won on any other lino.
SOME COMPARISONS.
1 know very well that I do not stand
on 1111 equal footing wilh my opponent. Ib
is Severn I years older than I mil ami has
unlimited means at his command. In an
other sense, we are on an equality. We
have both run for office in this county ami
both been defeated. As to devotion lo the
fnleresls of Ihe oeonle of this eolintv 11111I
valley, in whatever shape or form tley t
may come tip, 1 will not yleiu 10 any mull.
Without llionej, therefore, I believe 1
have the bauds nnd hearts of the thou
sands of sturdy men whose labor has
made us all that we ate uud who must
be orosoerotis to make us all thin we
hone til be. '
If. however, I may be sacrificed on .t
golden nltur. 1 shall have the satisfac
tion of knowing that I have done my
duty for the cause of humanity In a su
preme effort to restore oppressed labor lo
Its rightful place in the bodv politic.

PLEASED WITH THE RESULT.
Position of Those Mho Opposed the
Iti-v. Kicbiird Au.l.
Those who hnve for months been
battling to secure a new pastor for the
Polish Catholic church ot the South
Side are well pleased with the action
of KIshop O'Hara in assigning a new
priest to that church. They will do
everything In their power they say to
make his pastorate a success. In con
versation with a Tribune reporter yes
terday, J. A. Llplnski, one of the leud
ers of the movement against Father
A ust, 8a id:
"The statement so freely made by
some of Father Aust's supporters that
we were a small minority of the con
gregation Is) far from tho truth. There
are about 1.000 grow n male members in
the congregation, and of this num
ber over 700 were with us In our fight
for a good pastor and a proper ac
counting of the money we pay to sup
port our church. I make a liberal esti
mate when I say 200 were favorable to
Father Aunt and wanted him retained.
"The statement made to the bishop
that we wanted to get control of the
church treasury that we might repay
ourselves for the money expended dur
ing this battle is another ubtruth.
Nothing Is further from our Inten
tions. We will nay from our own
pockets wahtever expense we Incurred
The treatment 'we have received from
some of Father Aust's friends from
the beginning has been discourteous
nnd childish in the extreme. This morn
ing I found two dead herrings tacked on
the door of my office along with a
foolish note penned in red ink.
"We havo made our fight In a manly
way, and won because we had right
and justice on our side. We hope, un
der the new pastor, to soon see the
congregation In a flourishing condi
tion." A SCRANTON INVENTOR.
What the Nntional Recorder Says of
W. ('. Woodward nnd His Work.
The National Recorder of Washing
ton, D. C, which makes a specialty of
recording the work done by the inven
tors of the country, has this to say of a
Scrantonlnn:
"W. C. Woodward, of 620 Qulncy ave
nue. Scranton, l'n., has Invented a
wagon Jack of superior design, which
has won him a silver medal. Mr. Wood
wurd was born In December, 1833, and
Is therefore In his sixty-third rr.
He is a veteran of the lute war, having
been one of four brothers of whom two
died for their country.
"He lived thlrty-tlve years In Roches
ter, N. Y., nnd has been only eight
months in his present home. He has
worked at almost everything and is a
thoroughly skilled jack-of-all-trades.
'As to how I happened to strike this
line of Invention I would say I have ap
preciated the fact that necessity is the
mother of Invention. After having
been at work some time on my inven
tion, I saw a machine for the same pur
pose which fairly made me weary, it
was so rough and uncouth. I then de
clared that if I could not beat that de
vice all hollow I certainly deserved to
be reprimanded. I went to work again
with the Jack knife and kindling wood
and after a stubborn light. I Hatter my
self I have produced a good thing. Even
If I do not make a great financial suc
cess, I have been set to thinking.' Mr.
Woodward is an exceedingly level head
ed man and there Is no doubt that his
Invention will prove a financial success."
BIG CLEOPATRA PRODUCTION.
Will lie Seen at the Academy of Mnoic
Monday Night.
Potter and Kellew's version of "Cleo
patra" will be presented at the Acad
emy nf Music Monday night, Sept. 21,
on a grand spectacular scale. Edmund
Collier will be the "Marc Antony" and
Mary Emerson the "Cleopatra."
The spectacular effects which are In
troduced In "Cleopatra" have popular
ized that drama. Public sentiment re
garding a play. Is best estimated by
the box office receipts, and "Cleopatra"
has drawn more money this season thnn
75 per cent, of the big operatic, spec
tacular or dramatic attractions on the
road. In "Cleopatra" Is Cleopatra's
barge under full sail, -choruses, bal
lets, panoramic views of the battles be
tween Antony and Caesar, the famous
storm scene, orientally rich nnd vol
uptuous costumes, Immense tableaux
vivnnt, musical numbers nnd an Epgy
tlan dance which has created a sensa
tion, all the scenery used in the play,
1R calcium lights and a host of hand
some women. It Is given a production
which above everything else delights
the eye.
