and papers, and report the result of their
Investigations to councils. Tho resolution
was adopted, but select council amended
it by providing that the committee should
consist of two members from each branch.
Common council concurred in the amend
ment, but the committee was not an
nOunced.
When the resolution providing for the
extra compensation Of Mr.. Steinmetz came
over from select council, Mr.. Eaby rose to
inauire what the specific duties Of the
city solicitor are, and he quoted from the
digest of the city ordinances (page 1859,
which defines the duties of that official,
and which Mr.. Eaby seemed to think fully
covered the services for which additional
remuneration is now demanded.
Messrs. Riddle and Cox, on the other
hand, claimed that Mr.. Steinmetz's duties
in this matter had been Of . clerical na-
ture, and that he was fully entitled to the
500 which he now asked Us extra COM
pensation for extra labor.
A vote was then taken on motion to
concur in the action Of select council, and
it was agreed to with several votes in the
negative.
Mr.. Power offered 4 resolution pro-
viding for the establishment Of fish mar
ket in the rear stalls Uf the central market.
He urged upon council the necessity of
immediate attention to the matter, as the
fish season is now at hand, and by the
abolition of the Vine street market there
Was now no place for the sale of fish. The
resolution was referred to the market
committee, but select council laid 1t ON the.
table.

Children Playing With Fire.


Rachel, little daughter of Charles Kill
lian, was burned to death on the property
of Heber Handwork, East Earl township.
The men had been burning brush, and the
children, supposing the fire entirely extin-
guished, were playing in the ashes. Live
Goals were exposed by brushing away the
top, the little girls clothing was ignited
and she was soon enveloped in flames.
Her cries attracted farm hand, who came
to her, extinguished the flames md con-
veyed her to her parents house. Her
limbs and lower body were burned to q
crisp and she died few hours later, after
intense suffering.
While Mrs. George Meyer, residing near
Allentown, was at the barn she was
startled by the loud screaming of the chill
dren in the house, and hastily proceeding
thither, found Mamie, the youngest, in
flames and in great agony. When reached,
only few remnants of the clothing re-
mained on the child. It was shockingly
burned about the breast, back, abdomen,
limbs and face. The accident was caused
by the child playing with some matches.
Death ensued in a short time.

What Answer :?

and before the Republican councils cau-
cus-to be precise, on March 3, 1882
our esteemed Continental Independent
contemporary, the .New Era, reminded
the Republican cOuncilmen that {" the
citizens who voted for them did SO upon
the reasonable presumption that when
in power they would fairly meet the
public expectation, not only in local leg
islation and economy in expenditure.
but also in their choice of heads for the
several departments. II they fail to do
this they will forfeit the confidence of
the better class Of citizens, and they will
deserve to do So" And yet" our
esteemed contemporary had heard there
was "a disposition in some quarters, sup
posed to be potential in such matters, to
apportion the Offices on other considera
tions than those which the people
everywhere are declaring shall be
paramount in municipal affairs -
Against this it dec!aimed vigorously,
and declared that "personal favor in
caring for the best workers of the
ward,' or desire to punish personal OF
factiOnal grievances, should have no
place in the council chamber or even in
the party caucus" 1t predicted that if
those selected by its party " for the
heads of the treasury, water and street
departments are not at least equal in all
respects to the present incumbents, the
Republican party will have signed its
own death warrant, and a citizens COM
mittee, or its equivalent, will attend to
the execution in February, 1885," It
begged its party friends not to entrust
the public business to men whom they
would not employ to manage their own
affairs, or advise their neighbors to en-
ploy, when they can select men about
whose business qualifications and per
sonal character there isno doubt"
We have waited for several days for
our esteemed contemporary to tell us
what it thinks about the way. its party
friends disregarded it's advice. Does it
presume to say that Sam Levan is the
equal in fitness for street commissioner
of Dan Trewitz: or that Clayton F.
Myers is as suitable person for city
treasurer as William Nc COmsey ? Was
there any other consideration than that
of rewarding j" best workers. which
entered into their selection by the party
caucus ? And, in view of the only posi-.
BILE answer which the NeU Era can
make to these queries, is it ready to pro-
ceed with the execution Of its party in
this city according to the death warrant"
signed on March 3, and sealed on April
3?. Better still, is it not the time now
for all good citizens to unite in a move
mept for non partisan municipal gov
eminent I?

Chinese themselves-that under no cir
cumstances should the number of their
people in this country ever be increased.
Further, Congress has adopted precisely
that meaning of the word "laborers !"
which was accepted by tho commissioners
themselves that is to say the artisans,
meaning skilled laborers, should not be
allowed to come in and return.
Mr.. Sherman suggested that the use of
the term skilled, as applied to laborers,
instead of the word "labOrers" alone, as
prescribed by the treaty, was one of the
objections to the bill made by the Chinese
minister, and which the president had re.
iterated. He added that it had not been
shown in the correspondence read by Mr..
Bayard that the Chinese commissioners
ever consented to that Interpretation of
the term.
Mr.. Bayard replied that he would leave
that to be accounted for by the commits
sioners upon their own representations,
and that his effort had been mainly to
show that the single objection to the 20
years suspension as a dishonorable limita-
ton was untenable. The veto was a
"Chinese " message from beginning to
end, and while it descanted upon the value
we had received from tho Chinese in the
building of railroads it contained not a
word of pity or reprobation for any wrongs
the people of the Pacific coast had suffered.
DOdgor Don.
According to dispatch from the capital
to the Times, our senator lodged the vote
on the purpose to pass the Chinese bill
over the veto. Considerable adverse criti-
cism was passed upon Cameron, who
STAYED in the chamber till the final vote
was reached and then hurried off as if afraid
to stand by his friend, tho president. Prior
to the vote being taken the Pennsylvania
Stalwart devoted considerable time to the
Democratic side, and made himself very
agreeable to Senators Vest, of Missouri,
and Jones, of Louisiana, both of whom
were known to be favorable to its pas
sage.
