Mayor Molr jesterday attached his signature to tho oidlnance appropriat ing $1,138.01 for the payment of Uvans Brothers and the Nay Aug Lumber company's bill of extras on the Cum berland hose bouse. The ciedltois lost no time in having the city cleik sign nnd city contioller countersign their waiiants and the city treasuicr to cash them. The bill is wholly it tegular, everv ono Intel ested concedes, but the woi,t was done upon the older of city olll clals and, while the oltlclals had no nuthotlty to otder it, the conttietors had no reason to believe these ofllcials wero not duly authorized and the coun cils, with the mayor, after much )ies. tancy shut their eyes to tho lrregviiar ity and nppnned the payment of the bill. Kvnns Brothers, who had JSOO tied up In tho bill, weie a new ilini of younger plumbeis Just starting In busi ness, and this was the first good sized Job thev received. Councils two years ago appropriated $1,000 fm the erection of tho hose house. The two firms above mentioned v ere given the contiact to build it for $S0a, after plans by Building Inspector Nel son, which were figuted to come within tho $1,000 limit. When the original contract was com pleted the house was little better than an iptv dry goods box ns far us utilkj went. The then city ofTtcl'ih inspected it and the mayor was pci puaded to tell the contractors to go ahead with $l,13S 01 worth of extra work which thy building inspector had figured would bo necessary to plus? the house In faltly good condition. When the bill of extras came before tho auditing committer some one want ed to know who ordered tho work don and the consequence wus that tho claim wns hold up for Investigation. Building Inspector Nelson and Plumb ing Inspector o .Malley who had ap proved the bill w hen they w ei e called beforo the committee said their dena tures were Intended only to certify that tho wotk wns done They Knew nothing authentic ns to who ordered the woili to be done. Chief Hlcky said under tho circumstances that ho approved the Job, but answered the committee's intettogatlons ns to whethot or not ha h'ld ordeied tho work by saying "I have no authority to order nny such work done nr.d do not make a practice of nssumlng nu thotlty that does not belong to me' It was now up to Mayor Bulley and tho committee left It there. Tho lnslds of tho matter U generally conceded to bo something like this Tho firemen nnd their fi lends wanted the work done nnd after n number of councllmen bad agreed to stand by the officials the latter said "Go ahead, It v. ill hs all right. We'll get your bill through." It Is hatdly probable lint such nn Irregular and presumptuous act will be undertaken again In a hurry. Pennsylvania Pensions.

Kindergartens, Howover, Aro to Be Under tho Supervision of the Board Bid of Hunt & Connell for Heating and Plumbing Caused Many Complications The Building Committee's Recommendation for nn Annex in the First Wnrd Not Favorably Received Firemen Ex onerated from Per Capita Tax. After many delays the Scranton Free Klndergatten association received Its appropriation of $3,000 at last evening's meeting of tho board of control, but tho nppioptlatlon Is In the nature of a comptomlse between the board and tho association, as the resolution accom panying It differs in ninny vital re spects from tho original one Introduced some months ago. When tho meeting was called to or der by President Jayne all tho mem bers wero ptesent with tho exceptions of Messts. O'Malley, Schrlefer nnd Schw ass. A communication from tho board of health was read, calling the attention of the board to the necessity of tho enforcement of tho rules regulating the vaccination of tho pupils nnd was ro fened to the teachers' committee. A petition signed by a, number of tax payers In the Tenth wnrd was next piesentcd. It asked that the board build another school in that ward in order to accommodate the smaller chll dten who are obliged to cross tho lall load tracks on their way to school. After a great deal of lively debate, it was finally decided to refer tho peti tion to the teachers and building com mittees. DISCUSSION OVUIt A BID. The next thing read was a bid from Hunt & Connell offetltig to furnish the heating and plumbing in No. 2 school for $7,012. It will bo noticed that the bid for both tho beating and plumbing is called for In the specifica tions. Ordinal ily the plumbing Is In cluded in the general contract. The membeis therefote took It for gt anted that the bid wns for tho heating only nnd, of course, consideted it too high. Mr. Evans, who is a hot-nir-heat en thusiast, saw an excellent opportunity for a clinching argument In faor of that form of heat in tlio high bid, the latter, of course, being for steam. A number of other members nlso had their views on tlio question of heat. Mr. Baiker made a motion to reject tho bid, ad vol Use for others, and Mr. Evans amended to have hot air stipu lated in the specifications. The amendment was not seconded nnd an other was proposed and adopted in stead of Inviting bids of the different heating systems. Then Mr. Jennings offered a motion that tho specifications be changed and then the board woko up to the act that the bid included plumbing. Then Mr Schrlefer wanted bids for No. 38 school advertised for also. This was agreed upon anci a motion wns passed ptovlding that the bids for the plumb ing be advertised for separately. There wero a number of other motions and amendments sandwiched In between the above, but they would be Incom prehensible to tho lay mind unac quainted with school board parliamen tary law. COMMITTEE REPORT. The lepott of the building committee was next ptesented by Chairman Shires and was as follows: Tho building committee recommend that the contract for the heating ventilation of No. 0, bo awarded to Hunt & Connell for tho prleo named in their bid, $4 917, the being tho lowest nnd best bidders Wo recommend that Morgan Sweeney bo given tho contract for teailng down old No. 2 for tho material In tho build lug, tho board reserving the right to re move nny nnd all material lu tho shano of furniture and movables that mnv be of Lany uso to tho dlsttict Wo recommend that tho Janitor of No. "I bo paid nt tho rnto of $33 per month, on account of addition to building, to dato from Sept. 1 That tho Janitor of No 5 bo paid $s additional, on account of the opening of annex, to dato from Oct 1 Tho Janitor of No. 2.J to bo paid $3 ad ditional on account of opening of addi tional room, to d ito from Sept. 1, nnd tho Janitor nf No 32 to be paid at tho into of $30 per month, tho samo as Nos. IS nnd 33. Wo nlso lecommend that tho build ing committee bo instructed to lit up five rooms In old No. 3 and that the controller of tho Twelfth ward look up tlnee additional looms for pupils of No. 2 dm lug tho construction of No. 2. "We fut titer lecommend that tho con tioller of the wnrd and the superin tendent of schools be Instructed to sen if an annex Is needed in tho upper end of the Flist ward and if so to havo power to rent a suitable annex. The lepott vi as adopted except tho last clause, which piovides for the hir ing of a neiv building by the controller fiom the First wnrd, who happens to bo Mr. Shiies himself. The funds, the latter explained, were to be tnkeu fiom next yeat's appropriation. This, of course, caused serious objection. Quoth Mr. Gibbons in objecting- "I can't vote on this, as I don't know who'll bo hero fiom my ward after next Febtuaiy Mr Shires Is probably In eat nest If he didn't have two more mm- This alwavB means troubla.

On motion of Mr. Casey, tho last clause of tho report was laid on tho table. Mr. Jennings then said that ho understood that tho sub-contractors furnishing the stono for Nos. 9 and 33 were having the work done outsldo tho city, a practice which he declared wns unjust to tho Interests of the city. He moved that tho building committee furnish data at tho next meeting as to who the contractors wero nnd whore the work was being done. Tlio motion wiih carried. Mr. Francois then spoke of tho pool of stngnant water In front of No. 2t and askod that the board take some action as to Its removal Mr. Gibbons created great amusement by moving that tho matter be referred to tho boaid of health with power to act. Tho motion as put was unanimously adopted. Tho finance committee recommended that all active volunteer firemen bo ex onerated freni the per capita tax, per manent men nnd honoraty members not included. The lecommendatlon wns adopted. The text book committee presented a request from the Young Women's Christian association for a number of old text books and the board granted It. Tho report of the teachers' commit tee was next read and adopted. It was as follows: The teachers' committee recommend ed that night schools be opened on the first Monday In November on petition, as heietofore, of tho parents of not less than twenty pupils In the local ty where the school Is to be opened. No teacher Is to be employed without a diploma approved or a cettiflcate is sued by the superintendent. MATTER OF KINDERGARTENS. Tho kindergarten committee then asked that tho board take the matter of tho appropriation for the klndet garten out of their hands. This was done and Mr. Barker then Introduced the following resolution, which was unanimously passed, after which the meeting adjourned: Resolved, That the sum of $1,000 bo ap propriated towards maintaining four or more free, kindergartens, tamo to be managed by tho Scrnnton Free Kinder garten association In conjunction with tho city superintendent of schools nnd board of school contiol. Qualifications of Mndgartners must bo such us to comply with the school laws and ns required by tho superintendent nnd laws of the Scranton board of school control Loca tion of kindergartens to bo decided upon hv tho Scranton Freo hlndurciaitcn as sociation subject to tho anpiovnl of tho board of control, and bo It further Resolved, That no person be emplojed ns a klndercattncr who shall not at tho end of three months from this time pn-s nn examination satisfactory to our su perintendent cf schools. In addition to presenting a kindergarten diploma. The above resolution places the reg ulations of the klndetgnrtens more dl lectly under the supervision of the board of control than did tho original one. One of the principal objections to the latter was that the state ap propriation might be cut off on ac count of there being no clause provid ing that tho teachers have state certi ficates. This is arranged in the new resolu tion by compelling the teachers to com ply with the state school laws. ATTEMPTED HER LIFE. Mis. Thomas Cooper, of Deacon Street, Cut Her Throat with a Razor Condition Dangerous. Mis. Thomas Cooper, aged about 47 years.and residing at 623 Deacon street, made what was almost a successful at tempt to end her life, very early yes terday morning, by cutting her throat with a razor. Mrs. Cooper is a man led woman and has been residing for several months past w 1th one of her daughters, Mrs. Lizzie Dibble, who resides on Deacon street. Mrs. Cooper's husband la a blacksmith by trade, but lias been for a number of years somewhat dissi pated, causing his wife much tiouble and worry. He left her very suddenly a short time ngo nnd when last heard from was In Canada. This fact, coupled with Mrs Cooper's intense nervous disposition, nil tended toward producing a state of melan cholia almost bordering on mild in sanity, from which she has suffered since her husband left her She has also had the hallucination of late, so common to suftereis of her class, that she wns a but den upon her daughter, Mis Dibble. In fact, her condition glow so alarming that her sister, a Mrs Johnson, of Blnghamton, was summoned to this city Inst Satur day at Mrs. Conner's own request, for the purpose of taking caro of her and wntchlng her Mrs Cooper also ex pressed herself on Saturday that she was desirous of being placed In some Institution, as she wns afraid of her self at times. She was not feeling any worse than usual on Sunday, but was heaid to atlse nt about 5 30 o'clock yesterday inoinlng, which was rather unusual. She came downstairs and passed by those in the house, greeting each, and went out into the vaid. She went to ward an outhouse, and this attracted tho attention of her sister, who fol lowed after her. Mrs. Cooper enteted tho outhouse, slammed tho door, and wus heard the next moment to scream Mrs. Johnson pushed open tho door and found her lying on the floor, with blood streaming fiom an open gash In her throat and a razor In her hand. Sho was carried to the house, whore efforts were made to stop tho flow of blood, while medical aid was sum moned. Drs. Suircthnnd Thompson responded and dressed tho gash In the neck and niado tho unfortunate woman as com fortable as possible. The cut was sev eral Inches long and tho windpipe was partially severed, allowing blood to How Into the lungs. This is the only mitigating feature against recovery, as pneumonia Is very nut to set In. The chances are, therefore, about even for her lecovery or death. Mrs. Cooper wus held In tho highest respect by her neighbors In Green Ridge, nnd many expressions of sym pathy were heard from them jesterday regarding her nttempt to end her life.

McNnlly Told Them nt Last Night's Meet ing of the Auditing Committee. Mr. McNnlly Has Had a Claim for Damages Under Consideration for Somo Time at the Hands of a Com mittee Feels That tho Matter Has Been Neglected. The spectacle of nn aggrieved citizen publlclj accusing cotiiicllincn of ne glect of duty was the unusuul event witnessed nt last night's mecelnjr cf the Joint session cf the eouncllmaulc nudltlng commItte. a body compered of the chairman of tin- committees of each branch of the city legislature Fdward I. McNnlly, tho well known coinmcrrlal traveler wns the accuser) and Select Councilman Edwatd ,tiunc3 and J J. Schneider tin accused There two councllmen with Common Council man E. M. Tewkesbury wen appc lnted n sub-committee of the auditing com mittee to Investigate and report upon Mr. McNally's claim for $3ji) for dam ages done his property at tho corner of Railroad avenue nnd Luzerne sttcet by water overflowing tho yldowalk into the basement of his house. When the repoit of the sub-commit- too was cnlled for, at the conclusion of the routine business, last nlgbt, Mr. James, the chairman stated that lie had not attended tho meeting -if th committee but had arranged on? and that Mr. Tcwkcsburj" would offer the report. ENGINEER'S OPINION Mr. Tewkesbury said that In conjunc tion with City Engineer Phillips be and Mr. Schneider vMIted tho pin"'1 nnd made nn investigation. The city cngireer was of the opinion that the damage resulted from the building Df the Maloney Oil company switch and that the Delaware. Laekp-vvanna and Western companj' was tho party to be hold responsible The members of the sub-commltteo found that tho over flow ing water came mainlj' from th railroad tracks and quite co-lnclded with the city engineer that the lailroad company was primarily responsible. air. Roche argued that while It might bo tuie the companj' was prlmnrlly responsible, the city would be answer able to tho property holder. The city might follow the railroad but. the prop erty holder had a light to expct re lmbutsement fiom the city. Mr. Tewkesbury .aid ho waited on ex-Chief Engineer Archbald Just prev ious to tho latter's letlrement but owing to the aproachlng severance of his relations with the company he de clined to take the matter up. His suc cessor had not been seen in the mat ter. At this junetuie Mr. James interject ed that he hnd seen Mr Archbald and that the latter admitted the companj s liability "Then" said Mr. Wenzel. "I favor bold'rg the matter over until the com mittee bas had an Interview with the Lackawanna people As Mr. James says ho saw Mr. Archbald" SOME AVAPM WORDS. "Mr. James didn't see anybody " btoke In Mr. McNnlly aproachlng the long table about which tho committee Vps assembled. "He- has done tho boy net in this whole aTair. The matter has leceived no attention whatever at his hands." "What's that?" Indignantly Inquired Mr. James, "I'll have you understand I attend to ray duties as councilman, and I gave this matter due attention. Even It tho city Is liable, you are ask ing too much. There Is no $330 worth of damage there." Mr, Roche interrupted with a r: minder that personalities were alto gether uncalled for and cautioned Mr McNally to be a little more discreet In bis utterances. Mr. McNally retorted with, "When I was a public ofliclal I gae some at tention to mattets that were brougi t befoio me. Ho ought to give some at tention to nn important matter of this kind I'm not begging for anything I offered to make a compromise with the city. If It doesn't want to pay any at tention to my offer I want to know it My nttorney is awaiting j'our decis ion." Mr. Tewkesbury made a motion that Mr. McNally bo tendered $50. Mr Roche offered an amendment that It be made $73. Mr. James moved as an amendment to the amendment that the tender be made $23, adding that this would fully cover all the damage Tho $30 motion ptovalled. Mr Me- Nally at this junctuto unburdened him self further by milling that Mr. Schnei der had neglected his duty in the prem ises. "Mr. Tewkesbuty is the only member of the committee that has given this matter anj- attention at all," said lie. Mr. McNally asked for the return nf his wiltten offer if coniniomise, but was peisuaded to let the matter rest as it Is for the present. SAUL WILL BEING SUIT.
