Action Upon It Uulorred Until To morrow livening, When Ilia Cltr Solicitor Will Hnvo Rlrcn an Opin-lon--l'ncd Ono Itcnding-Olnny Minor Ordlnnnccs 1'nnsod 1'limlly. At last night's adjourned ineetinn o Belect council a llnal but unBUcecssrul attempt was made by the llopubllcana to amend the 1S98 appropriation ordi nance. A motion by Mr. Finn to go into committee of the whole for the pur pose of amending the measure prevailed by the following vote ot 11 to in: Ayes Messrs. Iloi, I'lnn, Thomas, Williams, Durr, Chittenden, Schroeder, Landing, Burns, McAndrewts, Baudot on Uvotes. Nays Messrs. Kearney, Clark, Roche, Wagner, Boblnscn, Mauley, McCann, lellons, Frable, Conc 10 votes. The vote Indicated that the amend ments to bo proposed would be adopted but after Mr. Finn offered an amend ment that J1.000 appropriated for build ing the Cumberland Hose house bo transferred to the asphalt repair item, It was defeated by a vote or 10 to 11. Mr. Burns changing bis 'Note to the neRQtlve. After the amendment uaB reported negatively the ordinance passed third reading, all but Messrs. I-ansInK, Schroeder, McAndrew und Sanderson voting ntllrmatlvely. Mr. Schroeder had voted with the majority on all pre vious considerations of the ordinance. After the 1S0S tax levy ordinance had passed first reading Mr. Sanderson of fered an amendment covering un al leged error In drafting the measure. The amendment was to reduce 'the 10 mills provided for general expenses t6 9.1 mills. He explained that the levy would at 10 mills provide $30,000 more than the amount appropriated, which, he thought would be illegal. Mr. Roche held that the law did not prohibit the surplus. Councils could not appropriate beyond the controller's estimate, but, he argued, the law does nQt prohibit the tax which would bilng a revenue beyond the amount appro priated. COULD NOT BV SPENT THIS YEAH. This was not denied by Mr. Sander son, but he was not willing to agree that doubt existed. The $30,000 in any event could not bo used until 1899; con sequently, an unnecessary tax in 1893 was uncalled for. Mr. Lansing doubted the wisdom of taking any chances. There was no need of collecting money that couldn't 'be spent and a collection of the un nceded $30,000 might Jeopardize tho legality of the whole tax. It was pioposed by Mr. Roche that pending consideration of the matter by the city solicitor the ordinance by common council bo passed on second reading. This did not meet with unan imous favor and It was agreed between Mr. Roche and Mr. Sanderson to await the city solicitor's opinion and at the meeting Thursday night to pass the ordinance on second and final read ing, with or without the reduction, as tho city solicitor might meanwhile re commend. The common council ordinance pro viding for .the cleaning of paved streets by contract parsed third and final read ing and will now go to the mayor for his approval. Another Important meas ure which passed third reading was tho select council ordinance providing for gates at the Leggett's Creek branch crossing of the Delaware and Hudson company on North Main avenue near the city line. The following minor ordinances pass ed third reading Common Council-Providing for one ad ditional electric lifcht In the Fourth ward on Decker's court, between Lafayetto and Swetland streets. Common Council Exonerating Holy Trinity Lutheran church from its Mul berry street paving assessment. Common Council Amended In select council, awarding Teirence RaiTerty SlOO for damages sustained in tho settling of the Phelps tticet sower. Common Cour.cll Amended in select council, awarding Daniel Mooro $250 for damages sustained In grading Noun Sumner avenue.

The solicitor declared tbe report favorable. The let ter was ordered filed. Another echo of tho Kearney-Grier squabble In the North End appeared in a resolution Introduced by the for mer and adopted, directing the chief of the fire department to ascertain by whose authority or permission a build ing Is being erected on the city's lot In tho Third ward.

Case of O'Neill Against Life Insurance Clearing Company Will Have to Be Tried Again Session Is Over. In United States circuit court yes teulay nil tho cases were disposed of and lust night the court adjourned to meet here a year hence. Yesterday morning Judge BuWngton charged the Jury in the caso of Thomas (laugh-ill against the Delaware and Hudson Canal company. Some time later It. brought In a veldlct awarding $750 to the plaintiff. An appeal will be token to the United States court of AppeuK Alter tho CJaughan case went to the Jury, the suit of James O'Neill, of Plttston, ngainst the Life Insurance Clearing company of St. Paul, Minn., was called. The plaintiff's father was Insured by the defendant company, the face of the policy being $.'.,000. it was n ginded policy by the terms of which the heirs of the holder of the policy was to receive certain amounts If ho lived until given periods nfter the policy was Issued. In September, 1S93, Patrick O'Neill, the insured, fell and sustained Injuries from which he lied. Tho cnmpnnv Is willing to pay $1, 20B20, tho amount that It alleges tho policy called for at tho time of death. On the part of the plaintirf It was con tended that there was an accident clause attached to the policy by the terms of which the company bound It self to pay $3,000, the full face value of the policy, If death was due to an accident. The accident clause, the plaintiff testified, was attached to the policy, but was not produced. He said it was lct in tome manner. Tho defense absolutely denied that then- was an accident clause attached to tho policy and to refute tho plain tilt's testimony put Miss Sara Spang ler, cf St. Paul, on the stand. Until March 1 she was In charge of the issu ing of policies in the home office in St. Paul. Her testimony that there was no accident clcuse attached to the pol icy was supported by the books of the company, which she produced. The plnlntltf was represented by At torneys John T. Lenahan, of Wllkes Harre, and C. Frank Bohan, of Pitts ton. Attorney M. W. Lowry appeared for the company. Judge Rufllngton lnstiucted tho Jury that in any event It was to find for tho plaintiff for $1,200 20, with Interest from Dec. 18, 1S93, the date ot suit, but if the Jurois were f-atlsfled that an nccldont clause had been nttaehed to tho policy then they should find for the full nmoura of the policy, $3,000, with in terest from Dec. 18, 1893. The Jury was out until 10.30 lat night when It re potted that It could not agree and was discharged. The suit of Rrldget Murphy of Pltts ton, against the same company, was settled by theiiayment of $1,730 to her. An order was made by Judge Rufllng ton In the caso of Ambrose Mulley against J. D.
