HAND SEEKS DIVORCE
IIo Allcces Thnt Hi Wlfo Heat Him
nnd Kevllod Hint in tho
Conned! Terms.
Michael Hand, the well-known
brewer, yesterday began proceedings
to secure a divorce fiom his wife,
Bridget Hand. The libel in the case
filed with Prothonotnry Copeland would
indicate that Mr. Hand is a much
abused man and that his matrimonial
experience with the present Mrs. Hand
hne been everj thing but pleasant. He
was (ompelled several weeks ngo to
wlthdiaw from the home occupied by
himself and wife nnd is now tesldlng
with his daughter, Mrs. ltutledge, on
Mousey acnue.
Mr. nnd Mrs. Hand weie married on
Oct. 14, 1S9C, at St. Paul's church In
Green Rldgp. Roth had been miuried
befote. Mrs. Hand's first husband was
the late Richard McHugh, a man of
consideiable means, whose latter years
were saddened by an eye trouble which
eventually resulted In total blindness,
lie was much older than his wife nnd
when he died some half-dozen jeuis
ago he left her in Independent circum
stunces. Mr. Hand alleges that soon after he
tnnirled the former Mrs. McHugh she
begnn to abuse him first with her
tongue and afterwards with her hands.
She frequently boat him. Later on she
thtcatened to poison him, he (.ays. She
continued to ieile him in the coarsest
terms, he alleges, nnd unable to bear
her tjeatment longer he was compelled
to lent her several weeks ago.

MONS UPSETS HIE ADMIN1ST11A
TION'S PLANS-ATTORNEY REEDY
THE SCHOOL DOARD SOLICITOR,
CONTINUES TO WRITE LETTERS
WHICH SELECT COUNCIL IGNORE.
Several matters of Import developed,
as had been expected, ut last night's
meeting of select council, but each was
disposed of with more expedition and
less obstruction than was anticipated.
It being close to the date on which,
It was understood, Street Commissioner
A. 11. Dunning Intended to resign, no
surprise was occnsloned by Mnyor
Butley's communication nominating
P. J. O'Eoyle to succeed the present
head of the street department on July
1. Mr. McAndrew moved that the
nomination be considered and Mr. Me
Cnnn moved to refer. President Chit
tenden ruled that tho former motion
had precedence nnd that the nomina
tion would be referred by rule If tho
former motion did not prevail,
The motion to consider was lost by
the following otc of 9 to 12:
A os Messrs. Rors, Finn, Robinson,
Sanderson, Schroeder, Lansing, O'Uoyle,
Conc and McAndrew.
Nas Messrs. Kearney, Thomas, Will
iams, James, Roche, Mclvln, Wagner,
Shea, MeCann, Frablc, Fellows, Chit
tenden. Pisldent Chittenden then declared
the nomination leferred without mo
tion. THE RESIGNATION.
Mr. Dunnlng's resignation to take
effect July 1 was submitted to Mayor
Halley several days ngo. Although
Major lialley favors the appointment
of Mr. O'Uoyle, his confirmation by
councils is by no means nssured. This
Is Indicated In last night's action. The
reason appears in the canvass of E. A
Fltzslmmons for the olllce. He Is a
Democrat and has been Mr. Dunnlng's
chief assistant. The fact that ho Is
a brother of Colonel Frank Fltz
slmmons who possesses no little influ
ence In local Democratic circles, makes
his candidacy very strong.
As has been explained by The Trib
une, Mr. Dunnlng's resignation is
caused by the exacting duties to be re
quired of him In promoting the Dun
ning Engineering nnd Construction
company. The company Is now arrang
ing Its suite of offices in the Mears
building and receiving supplies with
which to begin work. The opportunity
nfforded for a successful business ven
ture nnd the nttentlon it would require
obliged Mr. Dunning to relinquish his
municipal office. He will act until his
successor is appointed-
Fiotn Attomey D. J. Reedy, solicitor
of the boaid of control, wns received
the following letter dated yesteiday
uigliifr councils to heed the board's
i evolution lead at the previous meet
ing asking for a ceitlflcd copy of tho
tax assessment-
MR. REEDY'S LETTER.
I wculd levpeetfullv coll your attention
to tho resolution of tho Scranton boatd of
control of June 13, 1S0S. asking for a
ropy it the clly iii.sesinieiu introduced
into the select coumll June 2". und ic
forrod to a committee.
The act of assembly under which the
sinio (hue some words h.ie evidently
been inudvcrtmtl) emitted) Is us fol
lows "Section 2 The city cleric or other
competent person authorized by clly
councils shall make for the uo of tho
school board a tiuo copy of the com
pleted assessment nnd slnll duly ceitlfv
the .same to said beard " Act May 23
lbr7, V. L ST,.
In view of the urgent i.tre-sltj of the
samo I would request th.it the net of
nssembl nnd the lesolutlon of the' school
board be compiled with at this meeting.
On motion of Mr. Roche the commu
nication wns leferred to tho Judiciary
committee for consideration In connec
tion with the resolution.
City officials contend that the pro
posed copy and new method of com
piling: nnd lecordlng the school tnx
would cost the city MOO, the boatd of
control $400 nnd tho elty treasurer
about $200 or $900 more than the cost
of the system formerly employed which
involved an outlay of but $100.
Attorney Reedy came In for further,
but briefer, consideration in connec
tion with a second letter reminding
councils of their falluie to take action
on tho boatd of control's demand for
its Hhare of police fines, and warning
councils that the attorney would "bo
compelled to institute suit for tho re
covery of the amount" if councils failed
to oider the money paid. The letter
was referred to commltttee.
SPRINKLING ORDINANCE.
The ordinance prohibiting the spi ink
ling of asphalt pavements and tepeal
Ing nny ptovlous action Inconsistent
therewith wns iepcrtd favorably by
committee and Its passage was later
moved on Mist reading by Mr. Sander
son. -Mr. Roche opposed this action on
the ground that councils had given the
Dunn Sprinkling nnd Street Cleaning
company a fianchlse, permlttlntr tho
company to sprinkle rtreets paved or
unpitved. The franchise, he said, was a
contract and tho city might make It
self liable by repudiating it through
tho passage of the ordinance under
consideration. Thin view wu& support
ed by Mr. Kearnej.
Mr- Sanderson nnd Mr. Lansing
spoke against the practice of sprink
ling: asphalt during the div, claiming
that it dlelntegrnted the surface.
Flushing the pavement at night, they
argued, did not affect the pavement as
the din and other substances 'vera
washed off und did not remain to bo
ground Into grit nor did the sun act
upon the dampened surface. Ammonia,
they said, was generated by tho action
of tho water and tun and rotted tho
surface.
Mr. Roche's motion to refer the ordl
nance to the city solicitor for his opin
ion ns to Its effect on the sprinkling
franchise was adopted.
Fjom Mayor Rulley wuh received a
communication removing H. W. Stock,
stoker of Nny Aug Engine company,
for cnuse. Tho lemoval was referred
to committee, as wos tho mayor's
nomination of Gcorgo Suydam as
Stock's successor. The same nctlon
was accorded the mayor's nomination
of John J. Flnnnghan, ex-common
councilman, of the Eighth wnrd, to be
Inspector of tho Dix court paving con
tract. STREET CLEANING I3IDS
From Street Commissioner Dunning
was received und filed his deductions
from the pavement cleaning bids. The
flgures, according to the street com
missioner, ate as follows: W. J, Burke,
$1,314.61 per month for cleaning and
$1,353.39 for flushing; James Kearney,

flushing, city to pay cost of water;
Dunn ltros., $8,500 for eight months
for cleaning nnd $1,200 for wntcr.
Among the concurrent resolutions
adopted were the following: Directing
the removal of street railway tracks
from the middle to the side of Svvet
lnnd street between Main and Hromley
avenues; directing the city engineer to
estimate tho cost of a sewer on Rail
road avenue.
Ordlnnnces pnssed first nnd second
readings ns follows: (Common) pro
viding for sidewalks, curbstones, etc.,
on certain Ninth wnrd streets; (select)

There was quite a stir at tho Thir

this provisional guard will be small
as compared with the old National
Guard, and I think we were fortunate
to bo allowed to recruit four com

Thirteenth who ate not now at Camp
Alger are of course still members of
the guaid nnd will form the nucleus
of this provisional body of soldiers.
"Tho officers of the guard who are
not with the regiment retain the posi
tions In the companies they held when
they wont tc Gretna. All thut will
have to be done Is to take the men
now In each comranv and get suffic
ient recruits to give each company a
membership of fifty. I do not think we
will hnve much difficulty In doing this."
Captain James O. Dlmmlck, of Com
pany A, nnd a number of his men were
at the armory. Captain Dlmmlck said
he has about twenty men left In his
company nnl ns soon as tho Fourth of
July excitement Is over he will begin
the work of tecruitlng the thirty addi
tional men needed.
Companies R and C have but few
men left in the city nnd not nil of thesa.
