Another Large House Greets the WondcrPcribrming Hypnotists. Whoever misses going to see the Bages at the Academy of Music this week will miss something that hasn't been surpassed at the playhouse this season, although some very good enter tainments have been given here. From the beginning of their per formance until the end. the audience last night was doing nothing hut ap plauding. Professor Sage had a num ber of young men on the stage, all of them being from the city and having volunteered to submit to his hypnotic powers, and he put them through some of the most ludicrous and mirth provoking actions Imaginable. There was only one young man out of the twenty-live or more on the stage that Professor or Mrs. Sage couldn't con trol. He had them Jumping around In three feet of snow, throwing snowballs at one another, washing one another, and having b, great time. Selecting six of the best subjects in the lot he brought them forward to the footlights and un der his influence they sang and danced as though they were regular comic opera players. With another group he gave a yacht race, and another a bicycle race, both of them very amusing. There will be a change of programme tonight and the balloon scene will be given. The sub ject asleep In the window of Dunn's store will be awakened tonight after having slept forty-etsht hours. Professor Sage last night performed on a Scranton subject the operation of piercing his lip with a needle and thread without any pain, blood or swelling. The Academy was packed to the doors.

ALLEGATIONS , WERE NOT PtJQVEN The Whole Proceeding Unwarranted Was the riaimWitncses or the Prosecution All Deny the Charges They Are Brought to Substantiate, it is Averted, and Their Are Eithe, Lying or Else the Case is Void or Factf.Hayor Bailey's View-Mr. Watson and the Bribery Charge. The other side had Its inning In the Kinsley investigation last night. The street commissioner's attorneys were content to refute but one statement of the prosecution and having refuted this they stated there was nothing to answer and submitted the following statement of their reasons why they believed there was nothing advanced by the World, that required an answer from them: To the Honorable Mayor and Committee: Counsel for the street commissioner, at this stage of the present proceeding, de sire to present to you the following sug gestions as a response to the so-called cojiiplalnt and the subsequent matters In relation thereto: Without the slightest disrespect to the executive head of this city, and the assist ing members of councils, we say that this proceeding has no proper or legal founda tion either in law or ordinance. The law provides that the mayor shall examine the grounds of all reasonable complaints against any of the city otll cers. The fault llnding of a newspaper without ufllduvlt or signature is of no more legal effect than an anonymous let ter, and Is nut u complaint at all, either reasonable or unreasonable. The dellnl tlon of complaint as regards proceedings before the mayor may be found in Beet ion 8 of Article 7 of the city churter as fol. lows: "Proceedings for the violation of the city ordinances may be commenced by warrant or summons at the discretion of the mayor or alderman before whom com- filulnt is made, but no warrant shall be ssued except upon complaint upon oath or affirmation, specifying the ordinance for the violation of which the same Is Is sued." This objection is not technical, but is an Important and necessary pre-requisite. He who throws a bucket of ashes In the street offends against the law and ordi nance of the city but he cannot be bold to answer until a sworn complaint is made uvalnst him. One of the charges preferred against the street commissioner is that he has extorted large sums of money from appli cants fbr permits' to keep lunch wagons on the streets of the city. There is not a word of evidence to support this charge. Not only this, but there Is no authority on tho part of the city to grunt a penult to use the streets therefor. A nerson obstructing the street ! by any structure or thing used fo busi ness purpose Is guilty under the common law for maintaining a nuisance and liable to be Indicted In our court, at the suit "f any one desiring to prosecute. In su.'li case u permit from the city would be no protection whatever. Indeed, the city in granting these permits is violating her obligation, us laid down In Section 111. Ar ticle 3, of the city charter, us follows: "To require the removal of all obslruc. lions from the sidewalks, curbstones, gut ters, streets anil street crossings at the expense of the owners or occupiers of the ground fronting thereon, or ut the ex pense of the person or persons placing tilt! same there." CITY AT FAl'LT. Licensing an obstruction Is certainly not requiring the removal of it. If there run been any extortion from the owners of lunch wagons It would seem to be on the part of the city that has taken their money without warrant of law, rather than by the street commissioner who simply wrote out the nermlts. The allegations that the street commis sioner has drawn from the city treasury large sums of money to which ne wus not entitled ami has falsely cert Hied the monthly pay rolls of his department are wholly unsupported by the evidence. The nearest approach to anytning or tne kiuu was the testimony of Mr. (iilroy thnt he worked one day ami part of another on some grading for Hill & Connell and drew his pay from the city treasury. That he was mistaken in saying tnai ne urew nis pay from the city Is conclusively shown by his own signature to a receipt from Air. Klnslev for this work. The remaining allegation Ir that the street commissioner "has kept u large number of his own teams and horses at work unon tha streets and In the pay ot the city unite cover of the names .of other persons alleged to be the owners of such teams." It will be noticed that this chnrge con tains no allegation that, the work charged for was not performed, or thnt by reaso': thereof the city has In any way suffered a loss. The charge, therefore, even If trie, would be technicul rather than meritori ous. That It is not true, however. Is shown hv the urosecutors' own witnesses, every one of whom testified directly contrary to the charge Itself, 't ne prosecutor must necessarily take the ground that his wit nesses told the truth or they did not. If hey did not, then they are no facts In the case. If they did, then their testimony conclusively establishes tne laisuy oi nis own charge. In either case there Is noth ing to answer. We claim, however, that this chargo does not contain even a technical vlolu- tlon of the law. The provision or law which the prosecutor probably had In view In drafting It. Is Section 13 of Article 4 of the Municipal Act of 1M, which pro vides as follows: MUNICIPAL LAW. "No member of councils or other city officer shall either directly or Indirectly bi a party to, or In any manner be Interested in anv contract or agreement with such city for any matter, cause or thing what soever by which any liability or indebted ness Is in any way or manner created against such city, and if any such contract or agreement shall be made In violation of the roregoing provision tne same man oe null and void and no action shull ever be maintained thereon against said city." In the first place It will be noticed mat this section does not apply to the pres. ent proceeding, for the reason that the class it provides against Is the contractors those having cpnracts or agreements with the city. Those who work at clean ing streets and sewers are no more con tractors with the city than the scrub wo men in the court house are contractors with the county. They are simply em ployes, a class enlrely different from con tractors. , In the next place, even If there had been contractors In the street department, and It had been proven that the street com missloner was Interested In such contracts It would not be within the Jurisdiction of the mayor or this committee, for the rea son that no penalty Is provided against the street commissioner, and here Is noth ing to punish or to report to any tribunal for punishment. The only penalty for a violation of this provision of the law Is visited u'ton the contractor and consists in making his contract void. When any such esse arises all that will be neces sary will be for the councils to refuse to approve for payment the estimates un der the contract, or for the city controller to refuse to countersign the contractor's warrant. This would compel the con tactor to bring suit in the courts and the decision when obtained would settle the question. Any Investigation by the mayor would not affect the decision of the court one way or the other. With these suggestions as to the facts and the law It seems to us that there Is not at thU time anything that we are called u'on to defend. We confidently submit to the mayor and committee that no facts are In evidence that sustain the charges or any part of them, and If there be any doubts in regara to our nrwi the law, we resnectfully ask that they he submitted for the opinion of the proper law ofllcer of the city. , f t. rl. XYUiiii", ' Oeorge M. Watson, O Urlen & Kelly. OTHER STATEMENTS. The following were also submitted by way of explanation: In the month of June anil July. 1896. Em met Peet worked with team and also one single horse and cart. At that time there was a gang sweeping the paved streets and three (3) carts Were used in removing the dirt collected. The horse and cart credited to Emmet Peet was owned Joint ly by himself ami his brother-in-law, lid ward Ramsey. Km met Peet testifies cn page 38 that he Is the owner of a cart, and Edward Kamsey testtnes on page tin tnut he is the owrter of three (3) horses, tiavlng purchased tha third hers, la iU0, WS, from tome gypsies. Ramsey furnished the horse and Peet the cart, and the out fit was put down In the nam of Emmet Peet. This horse and cart was driven by H. Sebrlng. The other two carts were the property ot H. K. Kinsley and as he only furnished one driver for the two carts aiHl one of the city's laborers drove the other cart, the two (2 carts were credited up as one team at $4.00 per day. The priJe of two carts would been $2.75 for each cart or $o.50 per day for the two, but as the city furnished one laborer at 11.50 per day ouly the, price -of a team, $4.00, was charged. Jacob Baetcher testifies on page 78 he uruve z vans ror n. n. tvinsiey on sewer work in September, 18SW, and the two carts are credited with 49 7-10 days' work in that month. The sewer gang is composed of three men, and the material taken from the sewer basins is removed in two carts. Prior to the two carts being used, two teams at a cost of 18.00 per day were used a great portion of the time, as when only one team was used, the gang were idle while the team was going to and retjrn Ing from the dump, as the material is raised from the sewer basins In buckets and dumped Into the wagon. By the use of tvo carts one Is at the basin being loaded, while the other one is going to ind returning from the dumu. and by this method one or more basins are cleaned each day than when only one team It used, and as many basins are cleaned as when two teams were used and the ex pense was $2.30 per day less, as two teams cost 18.00 and two carts 15.50 per day. Thus each cart In the month of Sentember 1S90 made 24 8H. which is the time worked by the sewer gang. MR. NEWCOMB OBJECTS. Mr. Newcomb objected to the intro duction of these explanations, except through the regular way, by witnesses. The committee, however, decided to take them and look thum over. The question of whether or not argu ments should be made was discussed at length, and it was finally decided hat neither side would further in flict the committee in this respect. Mr. Newcomb was perfectly willing to sum up the evidence of his side if the com mittee so desired. Mr. burns was not altogether unwilling to make a closing argument, but wus given to under stand that the committee did not de sire closing arguments and he was loth to proceed without preparation. Col. Sanderson, the only lawyer on the committee, was absent, and us there were law points involved he would pre fer to have Colonel Sunderson present when their side made their summing up. Mr. Newcomb held and Mr. Chitten den concurred, that law points had but littlo to do with the case, it being a mutter in which common sense alone would have to be exorcised. The only question was as to whether or not the atTuirs of the street commissioner's de partment had been properly adminis tered. Mr. Newcomb announced that since the last meeting he hud learned that the work which Mr. Kinsley had done about the Pruthlnghum was much more extensive than he hud at first supposed and If the committee desired to reopen the cuse he was prepared to show that during the months of February, Murch and April, ISMi, Mr. Kinsley hud earned for himself $155.76 with the teums that hud during the xume time been credit ed on the pay rolls with having worked for the city. Mr. Uuins in answer to this stated that Mr. Kinsley could produce receipts sliowim; thut lie had paid for every bit of the work done on the Frothing ham site out of his own private funds. ONLY ONE WITNESS. The only witness the defense brought fin ward was James (.Iilroy who wished to contradict his statement made ut tho former session thut he received pay from the city treasurer for the time he worked in Mr. Kinsley's pri vate contructs. lie recollected ufter leaving the city hull Saturday thut Mr, Kinsley himself hud paid him. Sir. Kinsley's private pay roll with Uilroy's signature receipting for his puy for the work done on the private contract wus offered In evidence. Mayor Bailey after the session when seen by a Tribune reporter, stated that according to hlH view of the matter he was not called upon to make any recommendation to councils, no mutter what the finding of the committee might be. The only tusk imposed on lum was to say whether or not in his opin ion the affairs of the street commis sioner's department were conducted In an honest and legal manner. The members of the advisory committee would, he suld, have equal powers with himself in urrlvlng at the verdict. Whatever their verdict might be It would be submitted to council Without any recommendation. Just before the meeting broke up Mr. ChiUnden called Mr. Watson to task for the stutement which the Free Press had acredlted him with having made, to the effect that the $350 received by Watson & Zimmerman from Goldberg & Ilurros had not found Its way to the street commissioner's pocket, but had been vpent In fixing up the, council men. K. J. Beamish, editor of the Free Press, was' called forward and under oath said that the above was the way he hud interpreted Mr. Zimmerman's statement. Mr. Watson averred that Mr. Beam ish had misconstrued his meaning. All he suid was that the money was used to secure favorable legislation for the lunch wagon owners, and that corrup tion or bribery of councilmen was In no was Intimated. Mr. Watson also said that he had no desire to cast any reflection on the honesty of the coun cilmen, and as far as he knew no one had ever paid money or other valuable thing to any councilman In the way of a bribe. This was satisfactory to Mr. Chit tenden and the other councilmen pres ent and the Joint meeting culled to de mand an explanation from Mr. Wat son was abandoned. ANNIVERSARY OP FIRE. Four Years Ago Occurred the Burn ing of Elm Park Church. On this date four years ago, In 1892. the magnificent and unused Elm Park church was destroyed by fire. The edi fice was to have been dedicated ten day, later. The second fire was on March 27, 1893, at which time the main structure had been completed and much of the in terior finishing work performed.

In relation to the cuse of Mrs. Lucy Booth, which creoted such a furore at Monday night's meeting of the board of control. Superintendent George How ell has given The Tribune the following signed statement, in place of an Inter view from him: To the Public. . , By the action of the bonrd of control, fixing a date to investigate the charges made against me by Mrs. Lucy Booth, I am enjulned to waive, until that time, the privilege of making a full defense. I regret that Mrs. Booth In her speech to the board Monday evening made it ap pear that I am her accuser. I have never preferred any charges against her. I have simply handed over to the committee charges preferred by other parties. I rec ommended her for the present position In the high school ut an increased salary, and told the committee when 1 gave them the sworn statements of the prosecutrix that I had no charges and thut she was u bright und faithful teacher. V'ntil the results of the Investigation be come fully known 1 respecfully request that Judgment be suspended. My course In this mutter has been dictated by no other consideration than the public good and the sense of responsibility imposed upon me by my olliclal oath. Oeorge Howell. Mrs. Booth's impnssioncd utterance wub the subject of general comment yesterday, but there was a disposition to withhold Judgment until after Mr. Howell comes forward with his side of the case. Professor Howell's standing In the city Is regarded as equivalent to place him entirely above any such devious motives as were ascribed to him in her address. The public is ex pectantly awaiting to hear both sides of the case, MASONS ELECT OFFICERS Election In Peter Williamson Lodge, No. 323, Last Night W. S. Diehl Chosen Worshipful Master.

Scragg, the school directors of Roaring Brook township, yesterday prayed for a man damus from court to compel the direc tors of the Elmhurst school district to accept In their school, two children. Myrtle Klesmer and Ada Percy, who live In Spring Brook, but who for con venience sake desire to attend school in Elmhurst. The petition sets forth that the chil dren in question live at such a distance from any school in Hoaring Brook township that It would be well nigh Im possible for them to attend. The Elm hurst school, however, is near to their home and It would be convenient for them to go there. The Roaring Brook directors hove offered to pay any rea sonable tuition for the children, but the Elmhurst people refuse to hear to their proposition. Now the Roaring- Brook people are proceeding to compel the Elmhurst board to accommodate the children, taking advantage of an act of assembly covering the ground. saulof"tarsus.

George Woodruff, the celebrated coach of the University of Pennsylva nia Foot Ball team, has resigned from that position to ..take up the practice of law In this city. Mr. Woodruff, says a Philadelphia dispatch, had con templated this step after the season of 18D5, but he was persuaded by oth er prominent foot ball men of Pennsyl vania to remain another year. Penn sylvania will have to look elsewhere for a coach. To George Woodruff certainly be longs the credit of bringing Pennsylva nia foot ball from a minor college class up to a class recognized by the lead ers of the "Big Four." Never In the history of foot ball at Pennsylvania, before he assumed charge of the work, had a team been able to make any thing like a resectable showing ugainst Vale, Harvard and Princeton. Among those mentioned as Mr. Woodruff's successor are ex-Cuptalns Williams nnd Wharton, Wiley Wood ruff, a brother of George Woodruff, and for four years ruard on the team; Charles Gclbert. of this city, Pennsyl vania's great end rush and halfback, and George Brooke, the Quaker's fa mous full back. All of these men have been trained In foot ball by Woodruff. If any of them are chosen they will continue his methods. MEDAL FOR BOWLERS. A Person May Uowl for It on the Elk Alleys.
