NEW BIDS TO
BE ASKED FOR
COUNCILS DECIDE TO RE-AD
VERTISE THE BONDS.
i --- -
A Resolution Adopted Directing City
Clerk Lnvelle to Once More Ask
for Bids with the UudertBandhig
That the New Bidders Shall At
tach No Conditions Mr. Oliver
Accuses Mayor Molr of Trying to
Get Back at Select Council Busi
ness Transacted in Common,
it was unanimously dot-ldtd last
tilght by both branches of cottnclU to
icadvertlse for bids for tho Issue ol
jn'WNKI worth of sewer bonds, Ina-i-mtieh
ins U. L. Day & Company, who
wore originally awarded the contract,
have refused to take them.
A communication from City Solici
tor Vosburg was read In both branches
of councils, Inhuming them thnt Denl-
hoii, Prior & Company, cf Cleveland,
Ohio, had expressed a willlngnea ti
let their original bid stand If their ,
counsel approved of the bonds. i
He nlso Informed councils that I J. L. j
Day .t Company's representative had
n-cd to have their check for $3,00'J
teturned and explained that if the
city does not lose anything by readver-
tiring it would have no hold what
ever on Day St Company's cheek. The
resolution which was adopted directs
th-j city clerk to readvcrtlo for bid",
but contains no reference whatever to
the teturn of the check. It does pro
vide, however, thnt the new bids shall
be submitted without any conditions
atlnehed. '
Several communications from Mayor
Molr were read In select council. The
iet of these read wius n veto of the'
resolution permitting John Drew to
'oiinect with the Wheeler nvenui
sc wer. The mayor in his eommunlca-
turn referred to the fnct that an exist
ing ordinance prohibits anyone from
connecting with a sewer until they
shall have paid their sewer assess
ment, and that Drew had not done.
OLIVER'S REMARKS.
"I think," said Mr. Oliver, "that the
mayor of this city has got down to a,
pretty small business. It looks very
much as If he's trying to get back at
us."
Theie were not, however, hUllicient
votes on hand to pass the resolution
over the mayor's head, and it Is, ac
cordingly, dead. Another cominunicn
lion vetoed the resolution providing
for the settlement of the claims of
Dr. J. J. Roberts. He contended that
the street commissioner was in nowise
to blame for the doctor's mishap. The
resolution was not passed over his
veto.
A third communication vetoed the
ordinance appropriating $350 for tho
repair of the Columbia hoto house, on
the ground that there was not suHl
ient money lamalnlng In the appro
priation for repair of engine houses
to warrant the expenditure. An ef
fort was made to pass this over his
honor's head, but it also failed.
A fourth communication appointed
Ernest Miller as assistant lire chief
for the First district, to succeed the
late Joseph Ilirtiey. The appointment
was confirmed.
A resolution which passed common
council early in the evening providing
for the settlement of the damage
claim of Philip Garber for the sum of
ton was passed only after violent pro
test on the part of Mr. Melvin, In
whoso ward Garber lived, lie char
acterized It as an outrage upon the
taxpayers of the city.
OX THIRD READING.
The tollowing ordinances pa&.-ed
third and final reading: Providing for
the pavement of certain portions of
Lackawanna avenue: accepting the
Jones and Rinsland plot. The ordin
ance transferring certain sums for lire
department purposes was killed, Mr.
Oliver voting against it.
Mr. Finn introduced an ordinance
providing for the pavement of Provi
dence road from Court to Carbon
street.
In Common Council.
Common council also bald a long
meeting last night, but no business
of great importance was transacted.
The following ordinances wero passed
on third rending: Providing for an
electric light in tho First ward; pro
viding for circular curbs on Wyoming
uvenue; providing for sidewalks In the
Fourth and Twentieth wards.
A lesolution was Introduced by Mr,
Roche permitting the Lackawanna
RaUroad company to construct a sin
gle track for switch purposes across
Mttllln avenue, eolith of Linden street.
It was passed after some little dis
cussion nnd was later approved by se
lect council.
CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.'
Interesting Case of a Black Cat and
Neighboring Families Estranged.
I'ioiii the Ilaltinioip Sun.
This is u tale to demon.stiute thut
circumstantial evidence Is not always
aood evidence. It caused a rupture
of friendly relations between two wo
men that was tlnally adjusted by the
meiest accident?
Rut theiehy 1111118 a tale which in
vnlves the question of eiruumstantial
evidence, and that muidcr will out,
There are two Haltlmoro families in
the western section 'of the city living
next door to each other who for a
season did not tweak as they pawed
by, but aie now on the most amicable
terms, mid .ill this on account of a
blue!; cat.
These two housewives may be desig
nated us .Mrs. A, and Mis. K Ihe
former being owner of the cat In ques
tion, by which much store was set.
It appears that Mis. H. objected to
the freijuenl visits to her back yunl
made by Mia. A. 'a eat and on one day
it Is alleged that she was ovei heard
ta say that she would poison the In
Under that veiy night: It followed
next morning that the cause of the
annoyance was ilbcowivd on tho hack
lot a dead .is Julliih Catsur.
Now, what other Inference could Mis.
A. draw hut Unit Mrs, JJ. had put her
tin eat Into execution'.' That the deed
had been done by .Mrs. H. theie existed
mi doubt in the mlttd uf her next door
dweller, and so she straightway ac
cused her neighbor of having com
milted the "crinic."
ThW .Mrs. K. vlgoiously denied, The
rcbtilt was that all neighborly inter
course caiuo ubiupty to up und. So
much for clrcumstuntial evidence.
Now what happened subsequently Is
the fcequel which restored filendly ro
tations between the two families. A
gentleman living In the same block
had a pet cauury at this time. One
evening he discovered a biff black cat
In his room, But this was not nil, Tor
the wit was then and there making t
meal of the bird. Now what was more
natural thnn for the gentleman to
slaughter the destroyer of his feathered
songster, caught red-handed, aB It wore.
In the very act'.' A short time after
thli latter occurrence the owner of tho
eunaiy Incidentally related to Mrs. A. i (
the low uf his pot bird unil how ho
luid slain a black' cut on a, partlclilar
ovenlnff.
All doubt having now been removed
Mrs. A. lost no time In acquainting
Mrs. ti. with the facts In the case,
and mii tlie two ladles kissed and made
up.

An Economy Special.
During the ensuing year the Chicago
and Northwestern Railway company
expects to .f-ve $10,000 by preventing
the wasting of old bioom handles,
s-tubby pencils, short lamp-wicks,
empty ink bottles, impression cloths,
mop rags and other station and track
supplies. Several weeks ago the fcta
tlonery department, which for a num
ber of years has been under tho charge
of L'dmund Osgood, was placed in the
charge of C. II. Hayward, the pur
chasing agent. The latter after an In
vestigation decided that thoiiFands of
dollars were being wasted annually,
and decided to put on what the em
ployes term "the economy special."
This special N made up of one car,
having apartments tor .supplies. It Is
run over all divisions every othe.
month.
AVhen supplies are given oat, what
is left of Ihe old or ustd material Is
gathered up. To use up short lead
pencils holders are furnished. Waste
that has been used is gathered up,
and after being cleaned Is sent out
again. Short lamp wicks arc pinned
together and used. Impression elotln
that are ink soaked are taken int'i
the general supply department and
sold for old rags. Section men are in
structed to gather up all bits of Iron
and when the special comes along to
lead It in. I!y these methods, Mr.
Hayward says he will be able to save
?.4(i.00a a year.
Heavy Coal Shipment.
There is a decided Increase In the
amount of coal that la going to th'i
seaboard over all the railroads that
pass through Binghamlon. In talking
with a Dolawaie and Hudson otliclal
a Hnrnld man was told: "Not In
years has there been Mich a rush of
coal and freight over our road as at
present. U is tine that the foieo uf
about thirty crew. is so fully worked
out that the train board show3 no
'next r.uls.' I do not think our em
ployes are being overworked and the
management is taking every possible
provision to make tilings as easy for
them us possible.
"Theie are no waits nn,d in some
cases tile crews are not in moio than
live or six hours. Practically every
crow Is called fiir the next shift within'
twenty to twenty-four hours. The vol
umn of freight anil coal handled every
day Is enoimous as all trains aro heav
ily loaded and uvery available plee.j
of'rolllng stock is In use. In addition
lo this, of couise, tlie round hous?a
and shops are being purhul to the
limit making lepalrs and lltling out
every piece of rolling sleek that Is lit
for use.
"Then Is every prospect that the
rush will continue until spring."
A eoui dealer nuy.i that tlie trouble
Is that there is a great demand for
coal lu tho northern and seaboard
towns. The great strike exhausted all
stocks, and coal must bo rushed to
the point of need at once, lllngliaiu
ton Herald.
Electric Light nnd Steam Heat. "
In addition lu the countless Improve
ments being made by the Delaware,
Laikawanun nnd Western company
along the main line, in the mines,
and about the shops an Innovation
will bo in.de .it Hie ear and machine
shops In a few days will. It will muter
iaUy aid the wuikmen In the irt-fii--
niaiiee of their diitiiM.
The entire working plant of tho
company in this city will be lighted
bv electricity und heated by stuam.
These i.onvonlences are already in
utallod In tho passenger station,
freight department and ofllces, and
will now bo extended lo the work
olinpi niid other buildings. The steam
heating appliances will bo regulated
from the company's own plant, which
has Just been eontpleled, and th'j
llHhts will be finnlshed by one of tho
city companies.
