'Common council, usually despised by
the Republicans In contemplating the
passage of any party measure, re
deemed Itself Inst night. Its eleven He
publican members stood solid for over
one hour on the 1S98 appropriation ordi
nance as reported bythe joint estimates
committee. The measure wns passed
two readings, although a dozen aye nnd
nay roll calls wore required to defeat
all kinds of umondments offered by
the Democratic minority. The Demo
crats resorted to ward appropriation
amendments and appeals to the sup
port of the laboring element nnd tried
other avenues ordinarily calculated to
weaken Btisceptlble members, but there
was no weakening among the eleven
last night,
The ordinance wns reached In the
regulnr order of business, referred to
tho estimates committee for Immedi
ate rerort and was finally reported
favorably and called up for first rend
ing by Mr. Oliver. It was declared
passed without a division of the house.
On a motion that It pass second read
ing Mr. Grier offered nn amendment to
) educe the usphult repair Item from
?10,000 to $3,000 nnd to apply the $1,000
I hits gained for the salary of a plumb
ing inspector. Mr. Grler asked that
with the amendment, a letter from the
Building Trades council, favoring a
plumbing Inspectorship, be read. Mr.
Oliver moved that the amendment lie
Ubled.
MR. GRIER INSISTED.
Mr. Grler paid no heed to the amend
ment, which under the rules Is not de
batable, and Mr. Keller raised a point
of order. President Molr decided the
point well taken, but Mr. Grler walked
up the aisle and insisted on debate,
charging Mr. Keller with a desire to
enforce gag rule.
"Take your seat, sir," exclaimed
President Molr to Mr. Grler In n loud
tone of voice, nnd again "Take your
seat" in louder tones when Mr. Grler
continued to talk. The last mandate
waH so Imperative and accompanied
with such a ringing sound of the gavel
that Mr. Grler did not hesitate to obey.
The amendment was tabled by the
following vote of 11 to 0:
Ayes Ueese, M. Morris, Griffiths Walk
er, Zltzltman, K. Wenzol, Wlrth, Jack
son, Oliver, Keller, Molr.
Nays Grler. Calpln, Oilroy. Monatian,
C. Wenzel, Coleman. T. Morris, Cuslck,
Norton.
By the samp division the further at
tempts of the Democrats to amend or
delay action on the measure was de
feated. The following amendments were of
fered: li Mr. Gllroy-Provlding for live fire
department engine stokers at $150 each
per annum Instead of at 150, the required
i'liiO to be taken from tho asphalt repair
item; increasing the Second, Soventh,
Klghth, Fourteenth und Klghteenth wards
appropriations for street repairs to the
amounts contained in tho old ordinance,
tho necessary sums to bo obtained from
the asphalt repair Item; Increasing the
fire department cleik's salary from $i00
to $720, the Increase to be obtained from
the asphalt repair item; providing for tho
substitution of tho old appropriation or
dinance In Its entirety for the present
measure.
B Mr. Grler Providing for a new lt.m
of $700 for filling the Bloom avenue cul
vert and reducing by a corespoinAng sum
tho item of $1,500 for repairing tho Abing
ton turnpike.
EFFORTS USELESS.
Each of these amendments was de
feated by nn 11 to 9 aye and nay vote,
as wns each of the several other ob
struction offers made by the Demo
crats. The following resolution was Intro
duced by Mr. Keller: "Directing the
mayor to execute a contract with the
Punn Sprinkling and Street Cleaning
company to sprinkle Washington ave
nue and Mulberry street fronting prop
erty owned by the city; also the Lin
den Htreet, Roaring Brook and Lacka

to terminate on Oct. 31, 1S98, and the
sprinkling to ho at the rate of 1 per

back In November a tried and true man
nnd with this end In view we should
leave no stone unturned to make Mr.
Reynolds' election In November a cr
tninty by an even larger majority than

After Mr. Jones had finished the

evidence given him that his work In the
legislature during the last sefslon was
npproved by his constituents. He
trusted that he would receive the hear,
ty support of every Republican In his

Great musicians use Klmballs. Th
testimony of musicians who command
a salary of from $1,000 to $2,000 for each
performance must be accepted as hav
ing weight. They, at least, escape tha
charge of not knowing what they are
talking about. Lillian Nordlca says:
"The moro I use my Kimball piano the
better I like It." Jean De Reszke says:
"We have concluded to purchase Kim
ball pianos for our personal use." John
Philip Sousa claims: "The Kimball
piano Is first-class In every respeot."
Some of the most beautiful cases In
walnut, mahogany and oak can be seen
hre. I have some fine large pianos,
all colors, frcm $260 to 1350, on easy
terms, and a term ot lessons free.
