COMMON COUNCIL
MAKES INQUIRIES
The Lower Body Wants to Know
Why tho City Olork Did or Did Not
Do as to Certain Measures of Se
lect Council Inquiries Ordored.
Other Matters of Interest at Last
Night's Session.
Conspicuous among the doings of
common council Inst night was the
attention which the members gave to
the fit- 'lot It aiirl the concern which
they manifested as to certain meas
ures m- select council which they In
'dlcatcd were nut cared for ns this hit
ler hoilv directed or Intended.
To begin with tlicr" was a piinlrl
Inquiry by Mr. Nealon as to a icsolu
Lion Ihat was paused at the last
meeting of the select directing the
purchase of a typewriter lor the city
.clerk and city solicitor's olllce. but
which failed to show Its presence
anions the other papers received from
the city clerk. Its absence was ex
plained by City Oris Moon, though
the explanation was not well received,
some of the members saying something
about "any kind of excuse doing," etc.
Further along In the ineoihig Tem
porary i 'null man Kennedy wanted In
tormallon as to who authorized the
rentiiiB of one of the rooms of city
ball of deny U'llearu, which whs
laUen possession of by that gentleman
on the day succeeding Uecoratlon day.
The members were at sea as to where
the authority came from, though Jani
tor Killeen. when 'questioned, declared
he asked City Solicitor Stuart if it
woidd be proper to give the keys over
to Mr. O'l learn and that olllcial in
formed him It would. Council was far
from satisfied and it was decided by
resolution to call on City Cleik Moon
for light on this question.
Finally the members of council ques
tioned the illy clerk's method of ad
vertising for bids for lighting the city
for tlie coming year. Mr. Thompson
started the discussion by expressing
the belief that the resolution of Select
Councilman Thompson, adopted at the
joint meeting of councils a few weeks
,..'i:ro. at which the bids on lighting were
.ill lejeclod, called for estimates on
lighting the city building beside street
illuminations and calling attention to
,lie fact that the bids as they appeared
!u the advertisements now running
tailed for estimates on street lighting
only. Mr. Thompson wanted to know
why tills was so and his desire Cor in
lormatlon was shared in by the rest of
council, for there was a resolution
unanimously adopted asking city
Clerk Moon for information on this
point.
There was also some criticism as to
two or three communications that
were received at the last meeting of
select council, statements of the city
finances from the controller, which Mr.
Moon explained were inadvertently
placed in the wrong box.
in the absence of President Collins,
who is on a western trip. Mr. Ken
nedy was called to the chair, on motion
of Mr. Nealon. All of the members
were found to ho present except chair
man Collins and Mr. Murphy.
When the reports for committees
were called for, there was none pre
sented. Tue resolution of select council, di
recting the paymeiu.of the balance title
Giles A l.ovi.iand 'on their surface
siwcr coiitr.ot, less eight dollars for
certain unfinished repairs, was eon
c lined In..
When the lesolutiou of select ciuiu
i II. directing certain lepalrs to the
walls of the councils, also to looms of
the city cleik and city solicitor, came
up, Chairmar Kennedy suggested that
is be leferred to committee, and the
members of council, who appear mtlii
foi incd as to the necessity of the re
pilrs, volt'l for its reference in com
mittee. The resolution from the same
binnt.li, till et ling the removal of the
l'glu on Hospital sticet thirty feet
nearer the hospital, was treated like
w ise.
There was about a score of bills lead
that were pas-ted upon by the joint
flKMidiil committee riuil aiming them
' was oi)p from the l.endei and one from
the Advance for advertising the munici
pal writer plant ordinance. Hoth b"s
were ohftfti'd lo as being loo high, and
niter a discussion, in which ii'irl all
of liie members of council participated,
the resolution dhcctlng the payment of
all ot the bills wis amended so as nut
to include ither of thesi two Items.
The amended resolution can led, and
the bills in question were lefened to
'oiTiitilti'p for Investigation.
This appeared to b- nl. of the con
intent resolutions, and as the clerk
was al out to take up another com
munieatl'in, Mr. Nealon Inquired as to
lie whi'icabouls ot the lesoltitiou
t-hlcli passed select council at its last
meeting, which dhectPil the purchase
'f a typewriter I'm the olllce of the
Ity clerk ami city solicitor's olllce, the
nine not to exceed $L'.V
I "If that resolution passed
I foincll," said Mr. Neuliin with
lbe warmth, "thou Its place
IVuJus to. take action on It."
! .Wins' Jul the suggestion of

nan Kennedy. Mr. Nealon moved to
! etui n to this order of business, which
' latl been passed before the latter niatlo

doon of the request of council for him

FAMILY TROUBLES AIRED.
Alderman Jones Listens to Stories
of Flying Broom Handles and the
Like.
Alderman Jones on .Saturday listened
lo the woes of Patrick Connor, of
Hrooklyn street, who had stories to re
late which told or alleged harsh treat
ment which he received at the hands
ol" his foster parents, Herunrd and
Hridgct Caffney, with whom lie made
his liouie. Their relations, -Connor
averred, have not been agreeable for
some time, in fact they have been at
such great odds lb.it quarrels have re
sulted. Connor said he bore with his
trials until matters reached that stage
when forbearance ceased to be a vir
tue, then be set out for tlie alderman
to Keek redress.
Ills complaint against Mrs. lialfiiey
was that In the passage at arms she
relied on the weapen that in tlie bands
of a woman is a dangerous foe of of
fending dogs the broom handle. This.
Connor declared, the woman wieliletl
quite as clearly as a home-run hunter
on McMurtha's team of crackajack
ball players might handle a bat when
he came up to swat tlie sphere u
"Keller." Mrs. liaffney also had rein
forcements, though less powerful, in
the way of threi'tis, which she doled
out quite generously. As for .Mr.
C.affney. Connor said that be was quite
handy with his legs and could adminis
ter the swiftest kind of a kick, as he
could well testify to. Connor also
charged up threats to his foster
father. At the hearing the defendants had
another version of tlie differences
which would seem to heap n good deal
of the blame onto Connor, their adopt
ed son.
The case had not progressed far
when a compromise was suggested.
Connor wants to leave town and tho
C.affneys were willing to aid him. so
the case was settled by them paying
his fare lo his destination. Tills
closed the story of their troubles.

HISTORIC TREASURES.
Curios From Paris Exposition At a
Girls' Normal School.
Dr. Lucy L. AVilson's second trip to
Paris liming the exposition lias se
cured for the Philadelphia. Normal
school, at which she is instructor of bi
ology, a collection of curios as Inter
esting as they are odd anil valuable.
They are intended to Illustrate better
than any words or text books can do,
the manners and customs that prevail
in various parts of the world. The
permanent place of exhibit prepared
for them is an hnineiiee case of six
sections, that stands in the hall of the
til si floor.
The greater part of the spare has
been given to Mongolian eloquence,
which expresses Itself In almost every
detail of dress end industry character
istic of the Chinaman and China -women,
from the tiny satin slipper to
the school book.
But quite as much interest is arous
ed by the Iberian souvenirs. Among
them aio a number of old swords, that
tell their story in a peculiar way. On
tlie blades of the weapon, quite closo
ti the handle, a notch Is made, accord
ing to Iberian t listoiu, ror every vic
tim. Soni" of tlie swords have ten
mid twenty notches. The crude will
ing utenslb- of the Iberians are marvel.i
or Ingenuity. One or their pciu is not
strikingly different from our own, ex
cept In mateiial, It Is a long, thin
piece of wood, sharpened to a point,
anil split as the stub, known to Ameri
can fingers.
Two cases of relics are given to tho
Illustration of progress among the col
ored people. It is hoped to have a
complete Indian exhibit also, alllmugli
there was more dllllculty In gathering,
at Paris, works of Indian industry
than of oilier races. All of the treas
uics in fh display wcie brought from
the exposition.
It Is in private Philadelphia and
near by homes that the finest Indian
collet lions must lie sought. Mr. Mer
cer, or Doyleslown: Charles Stephen-
and Mrs. Wood, or West Philadelphia,
have three or the most varied. Beside,
the pieces of Indian workmanship,
Mrs. Wood has a number of autograph
letters from old Chief Pokagnn. who
was the most learned scholar of I ho
tribe, and last hereditary chief, lie
died a short tlmo before liie opening of
Hie comilierclal Kxporl exposition, at
which he had planned to have his na
thin represented.
