carney DoNncu.
AS there were present q number OF
the unsuccessful applicants for tho gar.
bage contract and several other signs Of
q fight, Clerk Thoner brought on hos
tilities by bringing up tho health
boards report early in the session. Tho
bills agcregating S272 So were ordered
paid. The report continuing named
the various bidders aud their bids for
collecting the garbage. After duly con.
sidering the various bidders the COM
mittee had recommended William Car
ney at his bid at | 5000. A resolution
granting him the contract was attached
to tho committees report.
The reading OF the resolution giving
Carney tho garbage contract was tho
signal for discussion. Mr.. kenney
wanted to know how the committee
come to ignore Becker, n good man,
whose bid is lower than Carney's by
5000. He could guarantee Becker would
do the work satisfactorily.
Mr.. Cruise remarked the contract had
been recommended to q Sixth warder,
bu. others from that ward want to
know how they came TO be ignored.
Mr.. Milligan said anyone who had
objections should have made thom be.
fore this. He moved to amend the reso-
luton to give the contract to Charles
Becker at sl2, 100.
Mr.. Cruise persisted hat the commit.
lee should explain how 1t came to do
so and So" Ee said Mr.. Milligan knew
better than to say that before council is
not the place to have this explanation.
Mr.. Deiters, rs q member OF the
health board, said that the committee
picked upon Mr.. Carney as the most
reliable and responsible bidder. Still
he was satisfied if Becker or Coffey got
the contract; he was sure the work
would be we'll done in the event that
either DO selected.
Mr.. Maxwell considered the recon-.
mendation OF n high bid irregular on
tho part Of the committee. IIo con-
sidercd council should give tho con-
tract to the lowest responsible bidder.
Mr.. Deiters said the committee had
come to tho conclusion that the garbage
can not DO removed for less than SIG, 900.
Mr.. Burke moved to refer back to tho
committee, who shall get new bids.
Mr.. MilliSun said there Is no use in
MAKING A FARCE
OF the matter by referring back to the
committee. He favored council taking
hold and giving the contract to some.

A1r. Maxwell favored immediate settle.
ment OF the question, and if the lower
bidders can do tho work satisfactorily
there is no reason sufficiently good to
give the contract to Carney.
This suited Mr.. Xwicker.
Other gentlemen expressed them.
selves against another reference to the
health board.
Mr.. Cruise vas OF the opinion that tho
board hnd ignored the lower bidders for
good and sufficient reasons. He favored

By the new racing rules OF the League
OF American Wheelmen the racing men
Of tho organization are divided into two
classes, "a" and ''B." Tho former are
the SIMON pure amateurs and arc not
allowed to accept prizes valued above
$50, and their expenses must be paid
by themselves, while the more fortunate
"B' boys can he subsidized by the man
ufacturers. have their expenses paid,
and, in 4 word, can travel in the ANA

All CT the Wheeling members OF the
league are at present "a" men, and it
is not probable that many OF them will

Henry Mahlke, the West Virginia
champion for one and three miles, talks
Of going into the "B" class this summer
if no gets fast enough. Stamp, Rihel-

fast local men are content to remain in
the dyed.in-tho-woo lpuroama,eur class.
1t is probable tina: there will be two
and possibly more cycle road races in
Wheeling this season, and US the league
has heretofore exercised no control
over road racing, it waa supposed that
the riders Of the two classes could COM
pete together. 4 letter has been re.
ceivcd from Chairman Raymond, OF the
racing board OF the league, in which the
ruling ia made that the TWO classes can.
not compete together, either on the
track or road. The letter is here given:
THE national assembly OF 1894 d.
rected the racing board to ignore road
racing save where violations of tho
amateur rule occurred. The amateur
rule is now the We class rule. It is,
therefore, impossible for pure amateurs

Root and Mir. Choato deny vigorously that the recent informal talk means any attempt to mako n fusion as against any one can didato and for any other.
 Not a word antaconistic to MT. Morton was spoken" said Mir Root.
 Asked what the idea of the parties to the conference was in meeting, tho leaders say:
 If Mir. Morton can go into the conven- tion and actually by his personal influence carry n winning vote, why, nobody cares The sole purpose of this conference was to protest against any man nominating a candidate beforc the convention. When Mir. Morton was in Europe. n single indi vidual in tho party asked him to be a can didate. Now. if the party wants Mir. Mor- ton or Mir. Roberts or Mir. Fassett or any one of the other candidates for governor, they will say so in the convention, and not 20 up like n lot of sheep and vote for a man who Is named weeks ahead
 Our plan fs to have as many unin- struCtetl delegates sent to the convention as possible and tho main effort now will be to prevent any delegates hereafter named from being instructed. Then ev cry man will go into the convention with an equal show. so far at least as appear anCes arc concerned.
 All of the participants in the confer ence say there is no i'll will against the candidacy of Mir Morton, and if he is the strongest man he will get the unanimous vote finally.

 BETHLEHEM, Pa, Sept 1o-An area of one square milo in this vicinity suffered from n cloudburst Tho cloud was trian- gular in shape and empticd its contents right over MonOcacy valley in tho very center of the three Bethlehcms- The flood reached the second story of houses on Goeppe street, Spruce stroct, Old Bethie. hem; Spring street. West Bethlehem, and Second street in South Bethlehem. Tho damage to private property Ia estimated at $50, 0Ou and to sewers and highways $lO,OOO.
 That no lives were lost Is a miracle. The people in the flooded districts arc very poor and arc suffering for want of assistance.
 During the storm lightning struck the residence of President Wilbur of tho Le- high Valley railroad the municipal build ing and Troxell's furniture store doing little damage, however. Hailstones as largo as walnuts fell. Reports from tho north and south towns tell of no damage.
 The funeral cortege of the late Mrs. William simmer was caught in tho storm returning from the grave. Tho horses took fright at the pelting hail and ran away, and Mrs. Jacob T. simmer of West Bethlehem had her arm and shoulder frac- tured. and Mrs. Mary Curtis, who was picked up unconscious, Is in a precarious condition.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Miss Lizzie Temple of South Leonard street has gone on a vacation to friends in Hartford.
 Principal M. J. Michigan of the Bank street school is home from vacation. tanned and rugged in appearance as a Texas cowboy.
 Residents of James street, who have complied with the order of the city to put down walks in front of their property. hope the street inspector will see that those who have so far taken no notice of this order will be made to comply with it before the winter sets in.
 Property owners on Bank street are up in arms against the Connecticut Flee tric Light Co on account of the condition of the sidewalks at points where electric poles have recently been erected. Notls- ing has been done to fill in around the poles and the residents think it time that someone should call attention to the mat ter.
 The work on the South Brooklyn school is completed and the building com mittse will formally turn itover to the dis trict to- night at a meeting called for the purpose of laying taxes for the year 1893. and to transact any other business that may be legally brought before the meeting. The school will open Wednesday morning.
 Everything looks bright for the sue cess of the third ward democratic ticket. All differences have been adjusted and it looks now as though there vii lbe but one ticket presented on the evening of the primary. John Healey the South Main street grocer. whose name was placed on the ticket as candidate for councilman, states that he is not a candidate for the position. A few changes have been made Il Al s.

Long before the time announced for the opening of the exercises the hall was crowded to the doors and by the time the meeting was we'll under way there were more on the outside thsn would fill the hall twice over. The management made A mistake in not renting the City hall and charging twenty-five or fifty cents admission. There is no reason 10 believe that it would not pay. for those who succeeded in getting on the inside were interested and instructed. and at times amused during the rendition of the programme. while the ones who could not gain admittance went home much dissatisfied because the place was not large enongh to accommodate all The debate on Trusts" between D1 niel F. Kelly and James NJ. Lynch. was the principal attraction and the manner in which each contestant supported his side of the subject proved that he had devoted much time to the study of the question. There was no decision. and the friends of Mir Kelly declare that Mir Lynch wasn't ID it. while the latter's friends assert that he did not leave his opponent a leg to stand on. The musical and literary programme was ably rendered and all together the meeting was one of more than ordinary merit. These exercises will be continued through the winter evenings.
