concour&e of sports present, and they
were forced to adjourn to Triceburg,
where a sanguinary battle wax fought.
Tho crowd began to a -mole -U thf
gyninuslutn early InM night and by a
oVlock there were a latgo number ot
spectatots present to witness the pre

who gave a lively three-round match,
which Keferce Connolly pronounced a

Then chairs wero pulled closer up to

"Complaints were iccelved today
that a prize fight was to take place,
and we can't allow it You will have

Tor hevcial minutes explanations
came thick and fast that this wasn't

"Why, chief," said one of the pio

an exhibition of the noble art of .-elf-defVnse.
T myself will stand by and
txpaln every blow as it is struck."
Hut Chief Robllug mttcly smiled

ago, and which was backed by the
leprcsentatlvcs of the besl classes of
tho city. Professional and commercial
men both supported the 'tipper' claue.
The latter may look narrow, even out
rageous to us, but in Plttsbuig they
are tr.vlng to accomplish an end and
ate not very particular as to the
means.
"Pittsburg people want that part ot
the act to go through, because th?y
have been ridden for yeais and enri
by a shameless ting, who have; bilbcd
councils, had all contracts at their
ov n figures, peddled public trnnchlse.
and who have done most elegantly and
completely what some members of our
lty councils did In a ety small nnd
botsh manner.
"If wc llvfd In Pittsburg and suf
fered as tho citizens the-ic have, we
would not consider the 'ilppcr' part
of the act so preposteious. I think
that any suggestions from Scrintou
ivgardlng second class city legislation
woull be kindly met at Pittsburg, but
If we send lepioscntatlves there sim
ply to oppose the 'ilppei daife, wo
aie making a mistake.
CAN fir.T ALONG.
"However, even with poor legisla
tion a city with an honest admlnlstta
tlon can get along, but back of nn
honest administration tbeie must be
honest and intelligent electois."
Mr. Toirey Intetspersed his nddiess
with seveial polnlPcl anecdote, and
his vvoids had a m irked effect on bis
audience, in concluding, he said:
"We do not itaud up for nbfolutc In
tegilty us we should. We aie bound
to stand up lor law and personal right
nnd should not be so willing to com
promise. Influenced by matteis of pei
sonal feeling. We let out feelings tun
away w Ith us. Instnneo the recent
street car ftrlke. No matter what our
impntliles wete, we should not havo
allowed any passengers In cats to l
liented with conte'inpt nnd hailed with
oppi obi Iouh epithets by stieet cbll
dren. And another thing about the
stilke. Kvon though we do have as
poor n. service as can be tound tho
counti) over, and tho company's pol
icy tow in els the city has been the least
Ubcial, still, as an American citizen,
!t toused my blood that business men
lould be intimidated by stilkcis and
be c'lctaled to, as to whether or not
they could sell meichandWe to street
ear company lepresentntlvcs."
The speaker then paid his ottentio.i
to the (lie department, and raid:
THH FIP.I3 DEPARTMENT..
"A one Instance of the effeit of
municipal conuptlon in a public d)
P'lttment, look at the fire department.
How has It always shown Itself, and
paitlcularly duilng the last big fire?
And what Is the renson-.' It Is con
trolled by selfishness and gicecl and
we reap tne results.
"I heard of an action of ono ot the
firemen last Thursday who demanded
from tho proprietor of a bIioo store
boots for himself and comrades, and
on being lefused said, "Oh, to h 1
with tho building then Let It burn "
O. P. Miller, an e-North Scranton
councilman, concurred In ull Mr. Tor
icy's views, as did also the ollur
speakers. The next meeting of the so
i loty will be a reception to the ladles,
and ptomlses to be a gala event.
