rr.ent tiled by him with the cletk of
the courts and showing the citj'3 In

other witnesses were examined, but
their testimony was unimportant. The,
matter will come up for argument be
fore the court m xt Monday morning,
Jan. 2J.
The main contention of Mr. Howe's
attorney is that the nllklal .statement
of the city's indebtedness sho"3 that
the debt limit allowed by law has al
ready been exceeded. In the clcv con
troller's oillce this Is said to be not
true, as theio Is still a margin of
oer $17,000 left after the park im
provement bondb ure Issued,
Mr. Vosbuttr's contention is thU the
whole proceeding Is out of all legal
precedent inasmuch as the exceptions
have been withdrawn by the pmy
offering them, and that Mr. Ho.v has
no standing to come in and say Ihcy
shall stand.

MEETING OT POOR BOARD.
Resolutions Passed on the Retire
ment of Director Langstatf.
At yesterday's regular meeting of
the poor board resolutions of regret
at the retirement of Director Lang,
staff from thu boa'rd wero unanimous,
ly adopted.
Lena Hoc, of South Scranion, ap
peared before the board and some
peculiar features were presented by
her case. It appears that some six
years ago she had her husband ar
rested for non-support and ho entered
Into an agreement to pay her $10 a
month. Ha paid this for four years,
but since that time has not done so,
he being $200 in arrears.
The solicitor of the board, John P.
Scragg, sued Boes' bondsman and se
cured n Judgment of $130. As the board
has been contributing to the support
of the woman for a number of months
past they considered that they should
now bo re-imbursed. Mrs. Boes ob
jected strenuously to this and vvantel
the entire amount. The matter was
finally referred to Attorney Scragg for
the purpose of coming to an agreement
with Mrs. lloes.
The joung daughter of Patrick
Neary was given in charge of Mis.
Duggan, agent for the Associate 1
Charities, her father having on sev
eral occasions abused her In a bru
tal manner.
About twenty-five applications for
relief were heard and acted upon and
the monthly bills were ordered paid,
after which the board adiourned.
