WHAT CONTROLLER MORROW WANTS.
He Says He Cannot Get the Legislation He
Would Like.

Controller Morrow was yesterday asked what
he wanted in the way of new legislation. He
said he would like to see the new Legislature
enact law to enable him to cancel between
$4,000 and 100000 worth of city bonds each
year. Such bill passed while Robert E. Pat
tIson was Governor and he promptly vetoed it.
This was his first negative action on the laws OF
that session of the Legislature. The Controller
added:
Il would like number of new laws but
know could not see my wish realized. If l
wanted n new law for the city, II 1t was worth
talking about, somebody would step in and try
to block my way. If no attempt was made to
kill the measures then know they would not
be worth talking about 1t is penanco to ask
u mans opinion on new legislation in this Kind
of weather.
ION April 1, 1873, we will begin paying of the
first ibstallment of s47bU000 worth of bonds
The first installment will, DO si26,S00. and the
amounts will be paid out NJ soon as possible
All OF these bonds bear per cent interest. and
the last OF them will not DO paid until 1898,
The total debt Of the city at present II little
over sis 00O0O0. After the iifst install lment has
been paid of the debt will DO reduced 10 u
little over SsO00,000. All the investments are
netting the city ~ per cent"

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN.
That 10 tho Record Of Dogs Killed Up Until
Midnight.

Fifteen or 20 patrolmen in the old city dis.
triot we're asked how many dogs they had
killed. Each man acknowledged that he had
killed from ono 10 II. The man who claimed
10 have killed y was proud Of II, but was as
anxious s all the others that his
name should not be mentioned. II
was estimated that OF tho 67 patrolmen
IN the First district they would average five
dogs killed by daylight this morning. The
cellar of Central station bore tho appearance
of dog morgue. six dogs. each Of different
size, breed and color. aud none Of them worth
the amount OF poison 1t required 10 kill them,
were laid out stiff and very dead.
The Twelfth ward station reports at 1880 last
night showed a record of so dead dogs. John
Eseherick, who lives at Twenty-eighth and
Penn, poisoned dog of his own. AS Il showed
sym ptOms of rabies lie attempted TO drive IL
into the back yard. The dog jumped and
caught his finger in its mouth and then died.
Its Jaws had to be pried open before the finger
could be withdrawn and DIR. McCready oauter-
lied the wound.
The fallmaster had received notice of lis
dogs to be removed this morning. Extra wagons
will be put into the service, and it is expected
that all the deceased animals will be removed
from the streets before noon.

ONE JUROR A BIT UNRULY.
Why tho Verdict In the Dunbar Inquest wns
DELAYED.

Squire Cotton, OF Dunbar. and Captain
Kelly, chief Of the coal and iron police. were In
Pittsburg yesterday. Squire Cotton was fore
man Of the coroner's Jury that investigated the
death Of the two miners who were sufocated
In trying to rescue the men In the Hill Farm
mine.
The Squire says he does not care much how
the verdict IS being received. Said he: "Wo
made up the verdict according TO tho evidence:
Superintendent Lang gave the orders which
led 70 IL. The delay In giving out the verdict
was caused by ono OF the jurors wanting TO
chango his mind on the second day We were rs.
sembIed. / can't tell what change he wanted
made, but we could not SEQ any use IN adding
more stuff TO the verdict. IL was short and ex-
plcit. IL took US several hours TO mako him
believe ho was wrong"
Captain Kelly intends to take nm Eastern
trip, and will probably go TO the soashore. Ao

NO MONEY FOR THE FEES.

The boys who brought the dogs clamored
long and loud for their 80 cents for each ami
NAL but nobody at the station had been in
structed to pay this pittance for good dogs.
The urchins stood around bowling for their
money, and were only chased away by officers
when threatened with arrest.
There seems to be a Misunderstanding about
the fee for killing dogs The law says that Off
GERS taking up. killing and burying them shall
be paid so cents, but there is nothing said about
poisoning purps. The Mayor is authorized to
nav the money by warrant the City Treas

Woman and Her Needle.

vvVAn6u 0uN 1SE N0GUACs
A neighbor of mine tumbled OF of his
house the other day while he was acting as
amateur painter. A professional painter
who stopped to inquire for him said he
hoped he would not die of it. although he
was taking the bread out of the mouth of
an honest man. Our dressmakers have not
begun to talk to us in this way; on the con-
trary everybody praises the woman who
has her daughter taught s'the complete art
of cutting and fitting" And yet dress
making is trade, as is shoemaking and
millinery. The woman who gets her, bread
and butter by it should know all the ms
and outs of its many details. For other
women to learn some smattering of it may
often be convenient, even necessary, but it
is not in the line of social progress. A fine
state of affairs it would be II every man
when he wanted mutton chop went out
every man when he wanted pair of
boots made them. The world is too
busy nowadays for the individual to
stand by himself and supply his
own needs. For the housewife to spare her
husbands income by patient stitchery ID
but for the army of women who work at
bread winning occupations all day to sit up
half the night to make their clothes is ruin
GUS economy. The man who earns IS a
week has more common sense. He doesn't
put his evenings into the sewing of panta-
loon seams. The woman's business is to
sleep and get strength to make the especial
work she has chosen more valuable. It will
cost her more than money to burn the candle
at both ends. We need to get rid of the
sewing fetch, the idea that there is an inner
ent peculiar virtue in woman's setting
stitches. In point of fact it's all a matter
of convenience, and civilization will not
have done the fair thing by one whole SCI
until it is as easy for a woman to walk into
price tasteful dress as it is now for a man
to supply himself with a good business suit
ready made. ELIZA PUTNAM HEAToN.
