German servant girl, employed by the
family of T. c. Brown at No. 13s
Mercer street. was found dead

family believe she blew out the gas before
retiring Saturday night.
The girl had been in this country but a
short while, but had become accustomed
to the use of gas. 1t is believed she
thoughtlessly turned on the gas after ex-
tinguishipg the light. She has relatives

WANSER IN TROUBLE.
The Bosses of His Party Are En-
ragged at His Independent
Action.

Mayor Wanser spent but two hours in
his office this morning His first visitors
were Aldermen Day and Norton, who
were appointed committee to wait
upon the Mayor and potify him
of the organization OF the Board
of Aldermen for the ensuing year.
A social chat of ten minutes ensued an
the Aldermen departed to make room for
the hungry horde of office seekers who
are disturbing the Mayors peace of mind.
His Honor is experiencing considerable
difficulty in keeping the pledges he made
before election and as a result there Is
war in the Republican ranks. His
most intimate friends and supporters
are shouting that he is throwing them
overheard and His Honor realizes the
roses. Samuel Dickinson aud Ex-J udge
Blair are manipulating matters to suit
themselves much to the discontinue of
the lesser lights.
LOOKING FOR FLAWS.
Mayor Wanser is straining every nerve
to find some little loophole by which he
can renew his partisan assaults upon the
Street and Water Commissioners. A
few days ago Chief Engineer Ruggles
was summoned to the Mayors office and
put through hot cross-examination.
The subject of Mayor Wanser's inquiries
was the paving OF Grove street, Chief
Engineer Ruggles Informed his Honor
in exceedingly plain language
that he wanted him aud
his Republican friends to distinctly un-
derstand that he signed the certificates in
payment for the work done and that no
mistakes had been made. His Houor was
surprised. He discovered that it was ad-
visable TO drop further Investigation of
the Grove street Improvement.
Chief Ruggles states positively that de-
ductions were made in the paving of
Grove street between the tracks and also
for the space taken up by the rails.
Commissioner Dugan is also anxious to
have the matter investigated, and he feels
positive that he can convince all Repub-
licans that the work was performed well
and as cheaply as could be expected.
FEELS SORE.
Ex-Judge Seymour. who was Mayor
during the recent campaign, also feels
neglected, and although he states that he
believes the appointments so far made
are good ones, he objects slightle
to the appointment of Dry
Shain to the Board of Education
When asked this morning II there was
no better material in the Republican
party than that of which DIR. Shain was
constructed he had nothing to say. Mr..
Seymour says now that he is ANXIOUS TO
be made member OF the Board of Fire
Commissioners. Mayor Wauser has not
been In his Office this afternoon.

HYER HELD FOR FORGERY.

John Hyer, who was recently extra
dited from San Francisco. was arraigned
this morning in Police Justice O'DonnelPs
Court on charges of forgery. In tine alb
sence of his counsel he waived exami-
nation. Harney, it is understood, began
to fear that the Indictment for embezzel-
ment might prove defective. There are
two charges of forgery of checks on the
First National Bank, one for $3.50 and
the other for S1,275. Both bore the sigma
lures Of William Harney & Son. Bail in
such cases cannot be accepted by Police

The fashion publications, La Mode dc
Paris and Album des Modes. are rapidly
gaining in popular favor. They claim the
right for this favoritism because they
give the choicest Peris styles one month

plates are made in Paris by the best ar
lists, and are a great aid in showing in
