Contrary to nil precondent nnd In op
position to the most religiously obeyed
of all the unwritten laws of municipal
legislation, President Ncnlls, of com
mon council, last night totally Ignored
the Republican members of that bodv
In making up tho most Impoitant of nil
the committees, tho estimates commit
tee, which virtually hns nil to do with
tho appropriation ordinance. Prefa
tory to the announcement of the com
mittees, Mr. Noalls said:
"Tho chairman of tho other branch
did not appoint an estimates commit
tee. I have named every committee.
When he glances over the estlmntes
committee I have appointed he will
have no enure to hesitate any longer as
to how he should proceed."
Later to a Tribune reporter he said
that he had assured Colonel Sanderson
that he would trent the Republicans of
common council In tho ramo manner
that tho Democrats of the upper branch
would be trented. Colonel Sanderson
doubted his word, ho said, and that
was only ono way out of tho trouble
nnd that was to glvo the other side no
opportunity for ndvantnge In having
the last say In the make-up of the Joint
estimates committee.
This action, It Is generally conceded,
leaves Colonel Sanderson no nlternatlvo
but to appoint a full Republlrnn com
mltteo on estimates.
In the other committees the Republi
cans were treated with due considera
tion. Every one of them was given u,
chairmanship and In .some few commit
tees the Republicans were given the
majority. Mr. McGrnll, the gentleman
from the Twentieth, was put off with
the chairmanship of the committee on
collectors uccounts, which never was
known to have any business to do or
any particular license to exist. Swee
ney, Gllroy nnd C.iler got the plums.

AWARDING CONTRACTS.
Fully nn hour was taken up with a
discussion piovoked by tho differences
of opinion regarding the awarding of
the contracts for which bids were re
ceived nt tho last meeting.
For the Sanderson avenue sewer
contract there were among other bids
one from Peter T. Mullgnn offering to
do the work for $111 per lineal foot,
and another from O'Hara Bros., of
fering to do It for $149 per lineal foot
nnd to put In extra basins and man
holes for $75 nnd $:!0 respectively.
Messrs. Walker, Regan and Keller, tho
majority of tho special committee to
which tho, bids were referred, reported
lit favor of O'Hara Bros., saying that
after consulting with the city engineer
tney nrriveu at the conclusion that
MulTigan's bid wns not In compliance
with the specifications, ns he failed to
give a price on extra basins and man
holes, which Is essential for the teason
that tho city engineer may see tit to
get nlons with less basins than tho
plans call for and must know the con
tractor's price so that he can make
deductions.
Messrs. Flanncan nnd Zeldler pre
sented a minority report favoring the
cheaper bid, and argued that tho mat
ter of extras wns a mere technicality
and should not enter Into consideration
with the saving of money for the prop
erty holders who would have to pay
for the sewer.
All five of the committee made
speeches and speeches pro and con
and con nnd pro, but It all culminated
In another exampllileatlon of Captain
Moil's famous saying, "votes count."
The Mulligan bid had the largest fol
lowing and Mulligan got the contract.
Tho vote was:
Ayes Messrs. Reese. Gordon.Thomns,
Gllroy, Flanagan, Wirth. Sweeney,
Zeldler, Noone, Sherldun, Martin 11.
Nays Walker, Regan, Wenzel, Jack
son, Oliver, Keller 7.
O'Hara Bros., however, beat out Mul
ligan on the Washington avenue Bewer
In the Fourth district. It was u tie
bid at $1.39 per llneul foot. Mr. Flan
agan put up a fight for Mulligan, but
was alono In the battle.
M. J. Rock received tho contract for
the retaining wall on West Market
street, his figure being $500 for the
work complete.
BOULEVARD TOLL GATE.
Mr. Wenzel Introduced a resolution
directing the Semntoh and Elmhurst
Boulevard company to remove Its Nay
Aug Park toll gate outsldo tho city
limits. At Mr. Keller's suggestion the
matter was roforred to committee In
order to ascertain whether or not the
company had ever received any author
ity for erecting Its Bate on city prop
erty and within tho city limits. Ho
nald ho did not want to do anything to
cripple the company. The boulevard
was n good thing and should receive
every encouragement from tho city.
IUwcver ho believed there should be
nn understanding lietwoen tho company
nnd the city and on assurance that
there would bo no repetition of the
Providence turnpike bother.
Mr. Wenzel enld he felt the same way
about the matter and Introduced the
resolution for the purpose of finding
out where the matter stood. Mr. Wen
zel also Introduced ordinances for lat
eral sewers on Prcscott avenue, lie
tween Pino nnd Ash streets, and Far
1cr court, between Ollvo and Ash
streets.
Tho special committee to which was
referred Health' Offlcer Allen's letter
on tho unsanitary condition of the
Phoenix Hose house, reported a resolu
tion directing the chief of the fire de
partment ami building Inspector to put
tho place In u. pnnltary conditio, at
the expense of the appropriation for
repairs of engine houses. The resolu
tion was adopted.

line, much refreshed for their outing,
but still sniveling from nn exciting ex
peiience hud at Norfolk.
While their boat, the Old Dominion,
wns nnchored at that place over night,
the wharf which It was alongside of
took fire. So suddenly and fiercely did
the llamcs break out that the boat was
enveloped In lire and threatened with
destruction. The stream was so low
that it was with great dllllculty it was
backed away from the conllagratlon,
nnil as It was, it caught fire In several
places and wns only saved by most
energetic effort.
When the passengers were aroused
they found themselves surrounded by
Ilame and smoke, nnd, of course, a pan
ic resulted. It was not until the boat
wns anchored at a safe distance that
ninny of tho passengers recovered suf
ficient of their senses to realize that
they were attired In little else than a
life preserver.
The wharf, with Its contents and two
large fi eight steamers, besides a num
ber of tugs, were entirely consumed.
The sight presented from tho boat af
ter It had gotten out Into the bay was
one, Mr. Pryor says, that almost mado
up for the scare they had experienced.

men, Messrs. Charles du Pont Breck,
Edward J. Lynett and Horatio N. Pat
rick, with tho Intention of plotting tho
same Into city lots. This tract of land
Is situated along tho northerly side of

ing view of tho valley and city.
The Sisters of the Immaculate Heart
own the thirty acres on tho opposite
side of Adams avenue, so Insuring an
open prospect over what will remain
substantially a park for many decadt3
to come.
The Improvements, tho low price of
lots which' have been cut of a size and
iprlco to enable people of very moderate
means to secure home sites, together
with the attractive surroundings, will
render It certain that this location will
find ready purchasers who can have no
possible cause to regret their choice.
Tho plot contains but forty-six lots,
and tho opening sales will begin tomor

Doings of Argument Court.
In the case of Burns ngalnst Smith,1)
No. 781, (September term, 1S93, tho Su
premo court decided that tho costs of
nn appeal could bo paid by check.
There Is some old law or nnother which
seems to say that such costs must be
paid In cash. When Cornelius Smith
nppealed from the award of arbitrators
in the above case, he paid tho costs
with a check. Twenty days expired,
and then Mr. Burns moved to have tho
nppeal stricken off on the strength of
this law about costs being paid In cash.
The local court said It was good law
nnd nullified the nppeal. Mr. Smith
didn't think It was good law and when
he took the mntter up to the Supremo
court, found that the Justices thereof
coincided with him. The appeal stood,
and Mr. Burns had to meet It.
Yesterday Mr. Burns mado good use
of the knowledge whlrh he gained by
this experience, giving another example
of the truth of the old adago that It Is
an 111 wind, etc. Mr. Burns, with
Frank T. Okell, Is attorney for Hop
kins & Roberts, who, because they used
a check Instead of cash, were defeated
In an uppeal from nn award of arbitra
tors In a $14,000 suit against Laura
Frothlngham. Mr. Burns, amidst much
laughter, went before the judges and
made the following motion:
"Now, April 29, 1S97, attorneys for
plaintiffs move for a reinstatement of
the rule to strike off tho appeal In the
above case on the ground of after dis
covered law, as set forth In the case of
Burns vs. Smith, No. 781, Sept. T., 1S9I.
common plens of Lackawanna county."
Court saw the stability as well as the
humor of the grounds for the miction,
and forthwith granted a rule to show
cause why the appeal should not bo
reinstated.
DXECUTOBS WANT TO BORROW.
Hon. Lemuel Amerman for the Hund
ley executors, applied for permission
to Increase the amount to be realized
by mortgage from the Wyoming house
property, from $50,000 to $125,000, giv
ing as his reason the recent arrange
ment made for the erection of a de
partment store on the plot.
In his petition he says that experts
give It as their opinion that the Wyom
ing house will always be a source of
heavy expense for repairs and will nev
er be saleable; while a new building
such as Is contemplated will bo sale
able when such Is possible eighteen
years hence. The rental of the present
building would not be over $5,000
If used for hotel purposes. By the de
partment store arrangement a yearly
rental of about $20,000 will be realized.
The fact that court when granting
the original petition for the privilege
of mortgaging the property said It
would much prefer If the mortgage was
for a larser amount to erect a new
building. Is a pretty safe Indication
that the petition will be allowed.
The cases argued yesterday were:
Guernsey Bro3. against Meredith Jones
and others: exceptions; Common
wealth against Martin Woyshner: ex
ceptions to report of auditor; Thomas
F. Smith against Joseph' Fellows: rule
to reinstate rule to satisfy Judgment;
A. J. Mcllugh. against Bridget Mc
Hugh: rule for a new trial; A. Froth
lngham ngalnst W. Gibson Jones: rule
for a new trial; John Morun against
the Scranton Traction company: rule
to strike off non-suit; William M.
Loughlln against John Onopry: rule to
amend record.
JEBMYN AGAINST FOWLER.
The case of J. J. Jermyn against C.
S. Fowler and others, In which the new
city assessment Is attacked was set
down for yesterday but could not be

Today this and tho other cases on

argued.

In two aldermen's courts tho affairs
of the Unci, Abraham and Jacob so

Intention of settling the differences be
tween the two factions of the congre

the case of J. M. Frank against Simon
Hlnerfcld for assault and battery and

Alderman Howe also has beon called

The caso before Alderman Howe
was begun by the Issuing of a search

RIFLE PRACTICE SEASON.
Will Open ut tho Itnngcs of tho Stntc
on May 1.
The Inspector general of rifle practice
of the National Guard of Pennsylvania,
Colonel Asher Miner, of Wllkos-Barre,
has Issued his Instruction for rllle prac
tice at tho ranges of tho various regi
ments of the state. The ranges will
open July 1 nnd close Oct. 31. During
that period practice with the rllle will
bo required of every officer and enlisted
man. Any company that does not
qualify suventy-flve per cent, of Its
membership, unless satisfactory rea
sons are shown for such failure, will be
considered so lacking In eUlclcncy as
to warrant Its dlsbandment.
In cnes where the men fall to pre
sent themselves nt tho range for prac
tice during the lillo practice season,
company commanders shall, at the
close of tho season, either discharge
such men for Inefficiency or prefer
charges against them for neglect of
duty. Any man who shall not have
practiced nnd made an honest effort
to qualify after having qualified In any
previous year, shall be deemed lnelll-
clent and company commanders shall
discharge such men for Inefficiency,
unless permission is given by the regi
mental commander to retain them be
cause of special efficiency In some other
line of duty.
It is understood that the soldier may
practice from time to time during the
season, ns frequently ns the ammuni
tion allowed him may admit of. But
when he proposes to qualify he must
declare his Intention of doing so be
fore he fires the first shot on his score.
