The parties own and for many years

laid down hy him she found th.it the
dividing fence was over on her lot two

A meeting "was held In tho armory
Thursday night of the captains of the
Thirteenth's companies and the allot
ment of company rooms in the now
armory took place. U was decided lo
give first ulioitu to the senior captain,
and tints It was that Captain John
Karnbeck, of Company H, was allowed
to pick Ills men's quarters -from Ihe
eight rooms.
He promptly chose room No. 1, which
is located on the second floor of the
building at Myrtle street and Adams
avenue, and Is thu most desirable ot
all the apartments. Captulu AV. A.
Haul), of Company L, who had second
choice, took loom No. S, which is lo
cated ut the other efld of tlie floor.
Company D took room 4, H No. C, C
No. 7, I- No. -', A No. K, and K No.fi.

The special committee appointed tp
take charge of the furnishing of the
armory v. Ill meet this morning and
consider ihe bids on furniture which
must all be In at tills session. The
committeemen have all been working
like heroes during the past week on the
matter and are deserving of a good
deal of credit for tho time anil atten
tion they have devoted to their task.
The members are Colonel II. M,
Holes, Colonel C, C. Mnttes, Colonel
Heiman Ostium, Colonel L. A. Wntres,
Captain John ICambeck and Captain
Frank Vandllng.
A subject which is arousing a good
deal of comment nmong the soldier
boys Is tho matter of lockers for tho
company rooms, Opinion Is divided
among the regimental authorities as to
what particular kind of lockers to se
cure and wliile there aio a number
who alvocatu the closed, glass front
lockers, there are those who prefer
the open, iron work Kind now In ser
vice. From present Indications, however,
It will be tho former which will bo
secured for tho new armory. Those
who advocate the glass front loejeers
claim that lis transparent face aoes
away with many minor Inconveniences,
The champions of the Iron work front,
however, argue that their choice is of
a more sanitary nature, because of al
lowing tho clothes a free airing, some
thing which a closed front prevents,
Thero i some t Ik of providing rlllo
racks but It is likely, however, that
In tho future as the past tho weapons
will bo storedjjway In tho lockers, ns
placed thero it Is a recognized fact that
no confuion can oiihuc or guns bo
misappropriated in cases of hurry.

Opposition to .the proposition of the

Iiilluentlal property holders in the

conclusion that it is useless to hope
to get a franchise for another railway
on the tit si four blocks of "Wyoming
avenue.
tho GisirsSm
open the armory has been decided
upon. Ten dollars will be charged ami
discrimination will be made in no cases.
There was talk of admitting the regi
ment's members free but this was
tlnally decided against. Thero will be,
however, a regimental ball given short
ly after the opening affair at which the
guardsmen will hold carnival.
The hull will bo arranged only a
few clays after the big ball in order
that the same decorations may be
used, and the armory present as hand
some an appearance as on the occasion
when the highest military and civil
llghls of Pennsylvania. grace its lioor.

Tho Thirteenth regiment was repre-.
Hunted on the gridiron last season by
a foot ball team and now as tho ama
teur base ball teams of the vicinity aro
beginlug to feel their muscles and
yearn for opponents, the members of
the different companies wonder why
thu regiment cannot put a team on
the diamond. There am numerous ex
cellent players in the regiment and a,
nine could ho put onto the local dia
mond which would play a snappy and
fast article of thu national game.

Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant
"W, S, Gould announces himself as a
candidate for the position of first lieu
tenant In Company K, of tho Thir
teenth, to succeed Lieutenant Isaac
Drown, 'deceased. Sergeant Gould has
been conected with the guard during
the last fifteen yeais and is a careful
and painstaking soldier. He was ser
geant of Company C for a time and
later made sergeant major. He has
alRo served as tho representative of the
non-commissioned staff on the rlfla
team. He )s the nnlyvau who has yet
announced himself as a candidate for
the lieutenancy. No election has been
so far ordered, although tho vacancy
has existed for several weks.
The date of the ball which will open
tho new armory has now been definite
ly fixed. It will be held Thursday
night, June 6. Already local olllcers
aro preparing for the event which will
be of thu fullest dress description,
Yards und yards of gold laco will be
teen on the breasts of the military
lights present, and tho full splendor
of tho United States' olllcers state garb
will be a revelation to those who have
always fondly Imagined that the most
Spartan llko severity characterized tlie
apparel of Uncle Sam's military ser
vants. Nothing has been as yet done in the
matter of personal visits by the special
committee appointed to wait upon Vlcu
President Roosevelt, General Nelson A.
Miles and other celebrities and extend
them verbal invitation to attend tho
ball, it Is ery likely, however, that
next week thu committee which con
sists of Colonel h. A, Wtitres. Hon.
William Connell and Major Everett
Warren will take some fcteps In the
matter,
THE AWARDING
OF CONTRACTS
CITY SOLICITOR HAS RENDERED
HIS OPINION.
Ho Holds That Councils Have No
Power or Authority In the Matter
' nnd Says This Is Vested by the In
tent of the Ripper BUI In tho City
Recorder, tho Head of tho Proper
Department nnd the Bureau Super
intendent Interested Way Ho
Reaches This Conclusion.
City Solicitor George M. Wntson.s In
an opinion transmitted yesterday af
ternoon to Director of Public Woiks
John ft. Hoche, in response to a re
quest from that olliclal, holds that un
der tho ripper act tho city recorder
nnd the head ot the proper department
have the right and authority to award
contracts for work to bo done for,
and material to be furnished to thu
city.
The oily solicitor's opinion is a most
Interesting document, inasmuch as tlie
lutctprelatlou he puts upon the law
Is one which has not previously been
even considered. After citing that
portion of the-net which goes on to
say that contracts" "shall be lot as
heretofore In cities of tho second class
and nil bids shall bo received and
opened publicly by the olliclal or com
mittee Intrusted with the awarding
-of thp contract," also that portion
which soys that "no contract shall bo
entered Into or o.eeuted directly by
the councils or any committee there
of," he goes on to say:
"It. appeals that the legislative in
tent was to relieve councils from any
lesposlhlllty lit participation In any
contract lntnlo on the purl of tin city.
The statute lakes from them the
power to enter Into a contract either
dliectly or bv committee, and I do
not understand that they have any
authority to procure bldrlets or open
such bids of persons as may answer
the advertisement and desire to enter
into a contract.
KOlUilDS COl'NCILS.
"The last part of thu llrsf, paia
graph of Section 1 oC Article v men
tions 'committee, or olliclal intrusted
with the awarding of Ihe contract.'
Tho nevt paragraph forbids councils
from entering into a contract directly
or by comniiitee, so wo must assume
that tin: committee meant In the last
part of Iliu llrst paragraph could not
have been created by councils.
"The legislature intended to relieve
councils from nil icsponslblllty in re
lation to contracts and to lcposc that
responsibility In ihe head or tho de
partment under whose direction the
work would be done, the city lecorder,
who is responsible lor the good con
duct of the direction of the depart
ment and the controller whose duty
II is to see that no one presents su.
cesstully any unjust eluim against the
city.
".These people have given sullilcnt
bonds to protect the city against any
unfair and unjust claim and the legis
lature did well when they made them
responsible for the good i onduct and
faithful, peiformance of contracts.
"I am of the opinion that contracts
for ivork or material should bo ad
vertised for by the head of the de
partment and tlie city recorder; that
the bids should be opened and con
sidered by the city recorder, the di
rector of the department and the su
perintendent of the bureau or sub
division of tho department, and
awarded by them so that the best in
formation may be obtained before the
execution of the contract."
HE HAS NO DOUBTS.
II will be noticed that tlieie is no
doubt in tho city solicitor's mind that
Ihe "entering into" a contract means
the "awardinsr of one." He takes this
for granted when he says that coun
cils have unthing to do with con
tracts. He makes no reference uhalcer to
the contention made by Director Roche
that under the old act of 1S71 It would
bo necepsary for councils by oullnauce
to designate who should award con
tracts. While he has not set forth hH
views on this point in tlie opinion,
they are, nevertheless, known.
The very last section of the ripper
bill piovldcs that "all oilier laws for
the government of cities of the sec
ond class, unless preserved by the
terms of this act, as well as all laws
Inconsistent with or sunplied by tills
act, are hereby repealed,"
City Solicitor Watson br-Idr that tha
winds "as heretofore" in tho ripper
bill aro not sufllcient to preserve tho
terms ot tho old act, which provides
that councils shall pass an ordinance
prescribing rules and regulations for
the awarding of contracts. Ho con
tends that there must be something
more specific: that the section of the
act desired lo be preserved and the
date of Its passage should Iiavo ben
Included In the ripper in order to make
it apply.
