foro Ho TnKcs Charge
Councils havo been summoned In spe
cial session tonight to approve the
bond of Street Commissioner Dunning.
When Mayor Bailey proceeded to in
stall Mr. Dunning Saturday he dis
covered that tho law provides that the
bond of tho street commissioner must

PENSION CLAIMS PUSHED.
Two Cnncs from This District Carried
Through Hucccssfuly.
Through the efforts of Congressman
Connell, Mrs. Susan Illchardson, ot 343
Mcrldan street, this city, has been
granted a pension at IS a month from
Sept. 4, 1890, aggregating a sum In tho
way of back pay, which amounts to
between six and seven hundred dollars.
The status of this claim was called up
at the pension office by Mr. Connell,
April 13 last, and tho claim allowed
May 20.
The case of Michael Cox, of Carbon
dalo, was similar, Its status having
been called for April 17, and allowed
May 17, at tho rato of six dollars per
roenth from November 4, 1895. These
claims had long lain dormant under the
Hoko Smith regime of tho Cleveland
administration, and their prompt ad
justment now evinces not only ener
gctlo work by the member from this
district, but also a more liberal policy
In tho pension department.
REDFERN CORSET SENSE.
A Timely Tnlk on an Importnnt
Topic for Women.
Painting the Lilly with a view of add
ing to Its beauty, 1ms long been looked
upon ns the acme of impudent audac
ity. Yet Huch a courso would not bo
one whit more absurd than most of th'o
uttempts that have been mnde to im
prove woman's form or figure by tho
aid of cot set 3. The reason is obvious.
The Divine hand that created tho flow
er of the field as well as mankind pro
nounced all hl& woiks very good, and
if deteriorations or defects have taken
place, man alone Is responsible for
them.
Ever since tho Introduction of tho
corset, attempts have been made to
muke models that would improve on
nature's handiwork, and every woman
of fashion knows what the result has
been In three cases out of every four,
suffering and not unfrequently perma
nent injury. This fact has long been
used as an argument against tho use
of corsets, but tjiat was because people
Jumped at conclusions on the ono hand,
while manufacturers erred in their
method on the othor.
At last medical science was brought
to bear on the question, and a careful
study of woman's anatomy proved be
yond all question of a doubt that cor
sets could be mado that would not only
lit comfortably whllo acting as a sup
port to the body, but that It was pos
sible to combine with llie&e Improve
ments an elegance of outllno based on
scientific principles which achieved all
that tho best of French modellus had
heretofore accomplished without the
violation of natural laws in tho slight
est degree.
Dr. AVarner is tho inventor of such a
corst, and as will be ston by our ad
vertising columns, Messrs. Cleland,
Simpson & Taylor, of the Globe Ware
house, are this week making a special
display of tho Warner company's goods.
The manufacturers have sent with tho
special exhibit an experiment fitter
and arrangements have been mado for
a private fitting room where the gar
ments can be tried on and accurately
fitted to tho figure without any extra
churge.

MISS C0NNERY LOST A FINQER.
IlccniiBO of Tills Two Suits Hnvo
Ilccn Brought.
Two suits In trespass each for the
same cause were begun against George
Singleton, proprietor of the Meadow
Brook SHU mill on Saturday. The
plaintiffs are Margaret Connory who
sues for $10,000 damages, and her father
who wants $5,000. Attorneys Ira II.
Burns and Horace E. Hand represent
the plaintiffs.
Miss Connery, who Is about 17 years
of age In her statement alleges that on
June 15, 1893, Bhc was an employe of
the defendant In the Meadow Brook
Silk mill and that the superintendent
ordered her to clean one of tho ma
chines while It was In motion, knowing
well that tho occupation- was danger
ous. Miss Connory claims that tho ma
chine was not properly guarded.
At any rate she lost ono of tho fingers
of her right handT and because of this
she has suffered greatly since the acci
dent and has not been ablo to devote
her time to her accustomed work. For
these sho asks damages in the sum of
$10,000.
Tho statement made by her father
In the other case Is In effect tho same
and ho asks $5,000 for loss of his
daughter's services, decreased earning
power, medical attention, etc.
WORKED THE BADOER GAME.
Plttston .Hun Confronts n Supposed
Irnto Ilusbnud.
Alfred Hunter, a Plttston man, fell
In with Mamo Courtrlght at the
White house during tho wee-sma'
hours of Saturday morning. Later in
the day he had the woman and Law
rence Kneadler before Alderman Millar
charged with keeping a disorderly
house and with liavlng Relieved h'lm
of $10.
It appears that Hunter accompanied
the woman to her apartments at No. 20
Lackawanna avenue. They were not
there very long when an apparently
Irate husband broke In upon them and
proceeded to terrorize the unsuspecting
Plttston man. He says he was whip
ped and robbed of $10, but the police
think It more likely that ho gave up
what little he had to pacify the sup
posed husband.
Chief Robllng and Lieutenant Davis
supposed that Kneadler who is known
to be the Courtrlght woman's gentle
man friend, was the man In the caso
and he was taken Into custody. It de
veloped, however, that he was not the
person wanted and Alderman Millar
discharged him.
Mm. Courtrlght gave ball In tho turn
of $300 to answer at court for keeping
a disorderly house.
EVERY VOTE WAS GOOD.
Respondents in the Dunmoro Con
test IIuvo a Disheartening Dny.
Not a single bad or doubtful vote was
turned up by the respondents In Sat
urday's session of the Dunmoro con
test, although twenty-four witnesses
were examined Those who went on tho
stand were: Fred W. Berry, Stephen
Sons, William Mowery, Gustav Brady,
F. E. Wagner, Daniel Wagner, Frank
Rice, Dewltt Dldwell, Arthur Edwards,
Reuben Jones, Morris Berry, Sylvester
Smith, Frank Turner, William Watts,
Byron Davis, Luther Foster, Joseph
Keller, Jonathan Randolph, Oscar Ran
dolph, Dayton Swingle, John Rice, Job
Ellis and Chauncey Decker.
But for tho wariness of Attorney
O'Malloy one of the witnesses, Reuben
Jones, would have disqualified himself.
He testified that he was twenty-three
years of aire on his last birthday and
never paid any taxes, but on cross-examination,
Mr. O'Malley elicited the
fact that he was born February 27, 1875,
which removed all quostlori of the le
gality of his vote.
SUPERVISORS WERE ALL RIGHT.
No Fraud Shown by tho Old Forgo
Injunction Seekers.
injunction proceedings of William
Repp and Thomas Drake against Ellas
Randall and John Monroe, supervisors
of Old Forgo township, were heard In
chambers by Judge Gunster Saturday.
The Injunction was asked to restrain
tho supervisors from awarding the con
tract for building bridge abutments to
any but the lowest bidder.
Judge Gunster, after hearing tho tes
timony made an order stating that the
evidence was not sufficient to provo
fraud or collusion and there was no
reason that the defendants should bo
Interfered with. The prellmlnaiy in
junction was dissolved. I. H. Burns
represented the plaintiffs and John P.
Kelly the defendants.

Udwnrd Qiiinnnn of tho South Side, n
Protege of Jim Mauley, Thomas
WntMns, Whoso Patron Is Wiido
rinn, nnd Select Councilman M. E.
Clnrko Aro Among tho Most Likely
Oncs--Jolin Gniriicy Is Spoken of
as a Possible City Detective
Those nigh unto the mnn on horse
back at city hall say His Honor will
nominate tho newly provided trio of
patrolmen at next Thursday night's
meeting of select council.
Who they will be, of course, no one
knows, excepting the mayor, if ho in
deed himself knows. When Mayor
Bailey took charge of his office there
were seven hundred and some odd ap
plicants for the position of patrolmen.
It Is safe to say this number has not
decreased to any appreciable extent
during the year, which has Intervened.
This being thus It may readily be be
lieved that the mayotr is having his
own troubles those days.
One of tho now patrolmen will In
all likelihood be Edward Qulnnan, of
the Twelfth ward, a brother of Hon.
John P. Qulnnan, who has In addi
tion to his own Influence tho special
patronage of Select Councilman James
J. Manley. Mr. Mnnley's refusal to
Join with his Democratic colleagues In
refusing to vote for Kinsley's removal,
would Indicate that the gentleman from
the Twelfth had this or some other
weighty thing in mind when he bolted
his party's caucus.
Select Councilman M. E. Clarke, ru
mor hath It, informed the mayor that
ho would bo willing to do duty for a
day or two as a patrolman, if tho
cnptalncy was assured him, or If he
would bo given the ttlll more genteel
position of city detective, which Is to
be created now that the force has
been increased.
John V. Gaffney is also spoken of as
the possible city sleuth. Ho is not of
the ring, but his appointment, it Is
said, would placate the Fahey fac
tion for the very frigid throw down
which the ex-sherlff received in the
street commissioner contest.
Wade Finn, it i3 said, will be sat
isfied with one-third of the prenent
plum plucking, and has "suggested"
to His Honor the appointment of
Thomas Watkins, of the North End.
James H. Reilly, day Janitor of the
government bulldlrr, wants to got in
out of the appronchlng dampness and
thinks to secure shelter in the base
ment of city hall. John White, form
erly of Clarke & White, of the North
End, Is also mentioned among the pos
sibilities. Patrolman John Motr Is spoken of as
a likely appointee to tho detective po
sition. BILL POSTERS MEET.
