J GIRLS SLID DOWN THE SLIDING POLE Intel estlng' Bit of Evidence in Case Against Fire Captain Bailey, Who Has Been Found Guilty. The court of Inquiry appointed to In vestigate tho charges of Intoxication and neglpct of duty, piefened against Captain George 11. Bailey, of Imagine company No. G, by Supeilntondent II. V. Ferber, yesteiday filed a lenort with Director of I'ubllo Safety Wonnser, iliullng Captain Bailey guilty of both chaiges. iriils lepoit was later ap proved by Recorder Council. The couit went a little out of Its jiuls dlctlon In Its icport by adding a lecoin inendatlou that Bailey, who Is now under suspension, bo icinstated on .Tanuui y 1, uHuced to the lanks and tiansfeired to some other company. It Is undei stood that Instead of dismiss ing Bailey fiom tho bin can, Dlieetor Wonnser will follow out some such lino of action. Bailey plead guilty to the chaigo of Intoxication, at which some vciy intet estlng evidence vvns biought to light. Peintanent man William Pace testilled that on one occasion two oung women had been in the engine house until after 11 p. m, and In lesponso to pi easing Inquiiles admitted that a number of young Green Ridge girls have been In the habit ol sliding down the brass polo leading fiom the second to the Mist floor. Captain Bailey, upon being sworn, said that the two oung women who weie In tho engine house until such a lato hour at night weic merely waiting for ft lends and were Invited up Into the patlor by him because he didn't think the giound floor a proper pl.ne for them to wait. He admitted that ho had seen joung gills sliding down the brass pole on eveial occasions. CONSERVATORY RECITAL. An Excellent Piogiamme Rendered in St. Luke's Parish House. Tho Conseivatoi v ot Muslc gave its fifty-sixth lecital last evening in St. Luke's palish house audltonum and again distinguished Itself lu the excel lence ot a planofoite ptogiaminp. The numbeis were all for piano solo or en semble, and yet tliete was a constant growth of intetest until the climax was reached In Beethoven's E flat Concei to and the Schiller Festival Match. Tho opening number was a Diabelll sonatina for etibemble, played by the Misses Doty, Hesslei, Hodges, Kaut hold, Law, Schlager, Watklns and Will iams. The time was so petfect, the ex-pie-sioti so vailed and the ptctuie pie scntcd at tho four pianos so pleasing that eye and ear weie alike giatlfled. Maltha Richmond, a little gill whose unusual talent has been mentioned in thpse columns befote, played two se lections as the fli st solo number. Anna Wahl followed in "The Goblin's Rev elry." which was as droll and mis chievous as the composer no doubt Intended. "Out iu the Gieen," by Glo.se, was vety thaimingly plajed by Bessie Pieice, daughter of the well known cletgyman. Helen Hopewell, a oung gitl of pronounced talent, plajed Hedge Roses, No 1, by Spindlcr. For a joung miss of fifteen to play a, sonatina of tluee movements, lasting fifteen minutes, and ftom memoiy. Is no common occunence, and Miss Gus- sle Brandt is to be congratulated. Miss Floia Kaufhold was heaid In the Ma zurka in B flat by Von Wilm. The lythtu was well pionounced and tho spirit of this charming composition well biought out. Benders "Spinning Song" is In tho vein of tho famous one by Wagner, and, like it, is decidedly difficult. Under tho lingers of Miss Claia Hans, the wheel whit red and hummed In Its delightful ly chaiucteilstlo fashion. A class consisting of Anna Wahl, Mnrgaiet Wylle and Mai gat lie Horbe played a selection by Hallemloif, a clash of four oung ladies tho Misses Doty, Hessler, Schlager and Watklns plnjed "Wild Blossoms," by King, with all the taste and oxptession of a solo pot foimor. Beethoven'b 13 flat mnjor concetto is genetally consldeied the most, tllfllcult of all his concettos, and Is an esppelal favorite with vlituosi. It was no pte stimptloti, however, on the part of Miss Clata. Hi owning to choose the fltst movement for peilotninnce last even ing. Miss Bt owning has for sovetnJ yeais been under Ptofesbor Penning ton's Instiuctlon, and Is a member ot this yeut'.s graduating class of tho conservtitoiy. It Is thciefoie only alter a thoiough technical nnd scholatly pieparatlon that she essays a wotk of this magnitude; nnd her playing showed th it she has tho endowments necessary to this great tone poem. Sho was wai in ly received by thu tuidloiico and vigor ously eucoied. The closing number was tho billllant Festival Mai eh by Meyeibeer, alteudy mentioned, which was played by tho Mlss.es Ciane, Uiownlng, Fiench, Ger lock, Hicks, Hlrshlleld, Slocuin and Wagenhuist, To the Republican Voteis of the City of Sctanton, A Republican pilniaty to elect a Re pulillcau candidate for tho uilUe of city locoider and wind 'vigilance com inltttes will be held on Tluusduy, Jan' imiy 15, 1903, at the legular polling places between the bonis of 1 and 8 p, m.

SAYS MEASURE IS ILLEGAL THE REORGANIZATION ORDI NANCE IS ATTACKED. At a Healing In the Case of O. W. Jenkins Against the City, Former Judge Caipenter Declared the Ordi nance Void, Because It Was Signed Aftor the Councils Which Had Passed It Had Gone Out of Exist enceEvidence of Recoider Connoll Was Taken. A most Inlet estlng point was raised yesteiday by foimer Judge J. W. Car penter In an aigument boforo RcfoiPC M. W. Lowiy lu tho case brouuht against the city by 0. AV. Jenkins, who claims that he Is the legal delinquent tax collector or this city, and who is suclng to lecover salaiy for thliteeti months, ending August 1 last. It will bo lenieinbeicd that the gen eral leoi gemination ordinance lcorgnu Izlng tho whole city government pto vlded for n consolidation of the olllces of delinquent tnx collector and city tteasutcr. Judge Caipenter In his aigu ment pointed out that this oidlnance and cveiythlng ilono under It Is illegal and void for sevetal tcasons, the most Important being that It vvna not ap proved by the lecoulpr until tho day after tho council which finally parsed It went out of existence. Should Have Been Printed. The judge also held that under tho otlglnal charier of the city and under the provisions of the "llppet" bill tho ordlnunce should have been printed at once, after Its passige, In the nows papots, a com so which was not fol lowed out. The other salient patt of the judge's aiguinpnt was that the Supreme court decision established Mr. Jenkins' right to the outcc and that when City Tieasurer Robinson was ap pointed a formal notification or ip moval should have been sent to Jenkins. He also held that the city treasuter by failing to flle a bond as delinquent tax collector tailed lo qualify for the place. City Solicitor AVatson, in leply. aigued that the appointment of Hobliibim con stituted a lemoval of Jenkins who, ho said, has never been delinquent tax col lector legally and whoso title to tho office, admitting that he ever had one, expiied on July S. mot. He admitted that the appioval of the leoiganbation oidlnance, after the council which passed it went out of existence, seemed to be at variance with established piec'edent, but contended tint, the same lules which apply to congtet-s and the leglslatuie need not necessarily apply to a municipal council. The titst two bodies do not exist lor a ceitain period, while the council alwajs exists. Witnesses Svvoin. The witnesses svvoin jcsleiday in-1 eluded foimer City Treasutei E. J. Robinson, who testified that he was foim.illy appointed delinquent tax col lector by letter on July S. 1901. bv itu. colder Connell. Ho admitted on cioss- examlnation that ho nevpr i?iip .i hnml because theie was no ptovlsion fixing any definite amount for such a bond. Recoider AV. L Connell swote that lie sent a letter to Robinson notlljing him or his appointment and said that he never leeognlzed Mi. Jenkins' righl to the odlct of delinquent tax collectot. His seciot.ny, M.nk K. nilgai, testilled to having given the lettei to hoblnsun. METEOROLOGICAL SUMMARY. Station, Sciauton, Pa mouth Sent 100J Clim-- Tippinl- nr'tpi 'rempeiatuic latlon of day.
