Jill. GR1ER WAS MADE A CATSI'AW
HUT SAYS THAT SOME ONE WILL
PAY THE FIDDLER.
One mnn was nngry nnd many were
pleased over tho fact that a quorum
for a special meeting of rommon coun
cil failed to materialize last evening.
The nngry mnn was Councilman
Grler, of the North 'End. who hnd been
made a catspaw in getting four other
members to Join him In a call for the
meeting. Ostensibly nnd really, as far
as Mr. Grler wns concerned the meet
ing was to be for the particular pur
pose of concurring In select council's
resolution awarding tho imntraot for
building the Cumberland Hose house.
That was not the true reason, how
ever. The opponents of the Lacka
wanna telephone franchise wanted the
meeting held so that the common coun
cil end of tho conference committee on
the franchise amendments could be ap
pointed. A eiuortim was probably prevented
by city olllclals friendly to the new
company. The lattor's representatives
In council will now have opportunity
tonight In select council to bring nbout
a reconsldeiatlon (if the action taken
nt the last meeting, when they fnlled
to secure concurrence on common coun
cil's amendments.
This could not be done tonight If
common council had developed a quo
rum Inst night. In thnt case a con
ference committee would have been ap
pointed, nnd under the rules no re
consideration could be had.
Mr. Grler was very much disturbed
over his failure to hurry along tho
Cumberland building contract, but ho
was much hotter when It dawned upon
him that the Central Telephone advo
cates had encouraged him to have the
meeting called and had then failed to
provide n quorum.
He made no secret of his displeasure
while flying around the corridors and
told all within hearing that someone
besides himself would pay the fiddler.
Those who responded to roll call wero
President Molr and Messrs. Reese,
Grler, Wnlker, Calpln, Gllroy, Sheri
dan, Cuslck and Norton.
B0YNT0N AND HIS SHOW.
Will Uc Seen by Thousands ot Pcoplo
Monday xt.
Th" fact that Paul F.oyton nnd his
great rompnnv of aquatic performeis
will be at Lake Ariel July 4 Is attract
ing much attention
It Is the only show of Its kind on
en'th. and this yeir Uoytmi has new
features, nets and people never exhib
ited on this side of the ocean.
One of the most exciting fetts Is a
man Jumping from a 100 root pole tied
In a bag Into the water and in an In
stant comes to the surface with bag
In one band and a knife In another.
The uproatli.tisly funny English wal
rus hunt par.tomlri". by two gills, two
policemen, two fishermen, harpooner,
admiral and tho walrus Is the rrentest
ever shown. The great monkey race
is done by the only rowing monkeys In
the world. Old nnd young almost try
with laughing nt this comical race.
The game of base ball on the water
Is another noteworthy feature. When
a player is out, he Is in (the watorl.
me.st thrilling and magnificent
sight is the nav.i'. battle between
working torpedo boats and men of war.
Tho fancy swimming by tho ladles
is good.
