Ablngton Turnpike Company Pre
sents Its Claim to the City.
The Ablngton Turnpike company
1ms Just filed Its clnlms with the
Ftrect commissioner for work done on
tho Ablngton ttirnplko during the
months of June and July.
Tho Juno claim Is for $90.10, and tho
July claim for $386.43, making a total
of $176.58. In each the services ot
Common Councilman II. B. Paine,
president of tho company, as foreman
are charged at $3, or for tho total of
23 days, $60. It Is safe- to assume that
when this particular Item Is sciutln
ized by tho auditing committee some
ono will quote Section 13, Article IV,
of tho act of May '23, 1SDU, which pro
ides that "councllmcn must not bo
Interested directly or Indirectly In city
contracts, nor furnish material or labor
therefor."
It will be remembered that tho work
of repairing the turnpike was done by
both tho Turnpike company and the
city. The city's part was done under
tho supervision of Stieet Commission
er Thomas, and his pay rolli for the
work have already passed the audit
ing committee and are being held up
by Controller Howell until such time
as tho ordinance appropriating $1,000
for the repair of the turnpike passes
councils. It Is now pending In select
council.
Tho street commissioner's pay rolls
are for tho months of July and August,
and their total amount H $998.77, or
Just $1.23 less than the amount to be
uppioprlated by tho city. As the pay
ment of these will practically exhaust
the appropriation, the claims of the
Turnpike company will have to wa't.

Night," and decided upon this city as
the place where the Initial production
should be made. The company was
tehenised in New York and while on
Us way heie on the night before the
performance an Incident occurred
which gieatly unnerved Miss Archer.
Tho company was travelling on the
Central Railroad of New .Teisey, and

Ier named Cat son, who -was somewhat
under the Influence of liquor, forced
himself Into the beat where Miss Ar
cher was silting He made himself
-o obnoxious that Mis-c Archer asked
the tialn hands to compel Carson to

In the car. This so angered him that
he stinted to leave tho car. He reached

A COMMITTEE TO
INVESTIGATE PAINE
MEMBERS OF COMMON COUNCIL
IN EARNEST.
The Resolution Providing for Its
Appointment Introduced bj Mr.
Grler Who Said n Few Things but
Failed to Stir Up the Oentlemnn
from the Ninth. Action on the
Viaduct Ordinance Postponed for a
Week New Business Business
Transacted in Select.
That the members of common coun
cil ate In enrnest In their intention
of taking steps tending towaid the
removal of II. E. Paine, of the Ninth
ward, was manifested Inst night, when
tho following resolution was adopted
unanimously:
"Whereas, It is currently reported that II E.
Paine, member of common council from the
Ninth ward, made utterances at a meeting of
Hie board of trade held In their looms on Mon
daj, Sept. 17, reflecting upon the honesty and
integrity of the members ot the common council
of the city of Seranton, now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That a special committee ot fire
members be appointed by the chairman of com
mon council to investigate the truth or falsity
of slid utterances and report their findings to
this bodj with such recommendations as they
maj deem meet and proper.
The lesolution was lntioduced by
Mr. Grler, who moved Its adoption,
the motion being vlgotously seconded
by Mr. Paine himself. Just as the
chair was putting It, Mr. Giler couldn't
resist the opportunity to stir things up
and arising to his feet he said In his
most bloodthirsty manner, ever and
anon throwing a glance of defiance at
Mr. Paine:
"As a member of this council I think
It only right, proper and just that this
man Pa that is Mr. Paine should
make an explanation of this thing.
He'd ought to have the manhood to
get up and deny that he made these
remaiks If he didn't, and If he can't
deny them he'd ought to resign "
PA INK WAS CALM.
Dining Mr. Grlei's oiatlon Mi. Paine
sat perfectly still, and at Hist glance
perfectly calm, but a close observer
could see that he was making a su
pi ome effort to control himself.
Kveiybody expected a leply from him,
but he said not a woid.
The icsolutlon adopted, Chairman
Giifllths appointed the following in
vestigating committee James J. Grler,
M. V. Moirls, John Nagell, P. F. Cal
pin and H. J. Coleman. Hverybot'.y
smiled when this committee was an
nounced as those acquainted with mu
nicipal matters know that its leport
will not be altogether favorable to
Mr. Paine
During the course of tho meeting.
Mr. Paine tinned to a Tribune man
sitting next him, and said: "I have
the constitutional right to say any
thing I choose outside of this council
chamber, and I'm going to fight for
my lights." A member of the com
mittee, upon hearing that Mr. Paine
had said this, smiled a broad smile
and remarked: "Let him wait, he'll
get all that's a comln' to him."
Tho viaduct ordinance didn't piss
either second or third reading, though
there was a great deal of talk about
It and though a big delegation of West
Siders were on hand to lend their mor
al support to its passage.
NAGELI'S AMENDMENT.
When the measure was called up on
second leading Mr. Nagell Introduced
an amendment. This amendment pro
vided for the killing of section 8, which
piovldes for the appointment of view
ers to assess tho damages to be caused
by the election of the viaduct Imme
diately after the work of construction
has actually begun, and the substitu
tion of an entirely now section, direct
ing the mayor, city solicitor and city
englneor to effect an agi cement, If
possible, with the Inlet ested propeity
owners as to the amount of damagps
befoie the work of construction be
gins, und niiunglng for a means of
lngiess and access for any property
owner whose present means may be
cut off.
The amendment fuither provided for
the appointment of -vleweis to assess
all damages which could not be thus
agreed uponl Mr. ICeller explained
that he favored the adoption of the
resolution because It was the only way
to prevent the propeity owners from
going to law. He said that If such ,n
amendment weie not adopted tho
pioperty owneis would undoubtedly
apply to touit for an Injunction ie
straliilng the city from proceeding
with the woik of const: uctlon.
Mr. Calpln called attention to the
fad that u icsolutlon had been adopted
a week ugo dliecting the mayor, city
solicitor and city engineer to lnteivlew
the propeity owneis and form an esti
mate of the damages and until this
committee lepoited, he said, the
amendment should not be adooted.
He moved to postpone action until the
next meeting, which Is to be held next
Thin today night, and after a deal of
discussion this motion llnally pi p.
vailed.
NHW RESOLUTIONS
The following new i "solutions wie
adopted:
By Mi. Roche Dhec ting the street
commissioner to have a dangeious
pole at the corner ot Penn avenue and
Spruce street lemoved.
By Mi. Coleman Granting permis
sion to the Young Men's Chilstlan
assqclatlon to change the line of the
Hard-earned
That's the name for pretty much
all the dollais that aie gotten to
gether now-a-days. Some folks
seem to get .them easy, but It's
not easy to llnd the man who will
own up to It.
However the case may be, If
money really comes hard, why In
tho name of nil that Is wise why
let It go easy? After the many
wenry hours day In and day out
why be so lavish with the fruits
of toll? Many a man has wasted
a foitune In trilling sums: which,
SAVED, would likely have changed
the whole course of life for him.
What a pity! But let such exam
pies be a lesson to you; be wiser,
form better habits.
There's no habit with the solid
comfort about It, like tho habit
of economy. Save the pennies,
tho nickels and the dimes, for they
all in alto dollais. And how the
dollais piovldo futuio comfoit!

THE MABEY CLAIM.
Cleik Mori Is read a. communication
from City Solicitor Vosburg relating
to the claim agaln3t the city by
George Mnbey, of North Seranton, for
$200 damages to his buggy two weeks
ago. He claims that failure to put
warning lights on the tienche3 whre
the Noith Main avenue sewer is be
ing built was the cause of his rig be
ing overturned and damaged. The
city solicitor in his repoit says that
the contractor in charge of the sewer
claims that the accident was due only
to negligence on the pait rif the
driver. The lepoit was accepted and
the claim lejected.
A communication drawing council's
attention to tho necessity of the le
talnlng wall on Ninth stieet bplng ex
tended to prevent the road being un

CLAIM TOO HIGH.
A! resolution passed bv council, was
then presented, authoiizlng the city
solicitor to settle the claim of Philip
Gaiber against the city. No amount
was mentioned In the lesolution as a
reasonable settlement, and Mr. Chit
tenden moved that the lesolution be
leferred back to a committee to in
vestigate and then lepoit to council0.
Mr. Melvin remaiked that the amount
asked for is about $S90, damages to a
barber shop, and that in his opinion
this is too much. The resolution vvas
leferred to a committee, and It was
later discovered that at the last mept
Ing of common council, Mayor Moir

ZENOLA is a rofroshinc; delight to tho bath. It is bot
ter than anything olse, that, because it makes the water
soft; then it makes YOU clean, then thero lingers a re

that no other cleanser has over given you. Isn't it
worth, a trial, if this be so? Of all Grocers and Drug
