ORDER OF THE IRON HALL.

Local Branch No. 72, Order Of IRON Hall OF
Baltimore City, had an installation of Off
GERS at their meeting rooms on Monday even
ing, January Is. The officers installed
were:-President, F. Way; Vice President,
George H. Ware; Secretary, James M. Nc
Colley; Treasurer, E. D. McColley; Medical
Examiner, Mary A. Willis, NJ. D.; Council
Tor, John w. Martin; Chaplain, A.W Myers
Herald, David L.. Maths: Waterman, E. J.
Rodenberg; Trustees, S.. F. Crooks, l..
and A. Scott.
Branch No. 70 has about fifty members
and more are being added to the roll every
week. Sick claims and final benefits are be-
ing paid as promptly and as regularly as
ever was don by the old order.
All members of the old order who paid as
sessment No. IT'S are at liberty to put their
certificates in register at Baltimore, and by
paying about the same number of assess
ments that they would ave paid to the old
order, receive their final payments, which
would be-far better than any dividend that
they are likely to receive from the receiver,
and it is possible they would receive a full
payment much earlier. All are invited to
look after this matter at once. The Balti-
more order has paid nearly 1000 claims and
distributed nearly 5000, 900 since r~eorganiza-
tfon, and the record for each month has been
an increase over the previous one. Upward
of 10000 of the old members are enrolled at
Baltimore and more are coming every day,
also many are joining who never were in the
old order.

Nearly 100000 Less for Paving til
boulevard Than Estimated.

Nearly 100000 Less for Paving the
Boulevard Than Estimated.
The bids that were received at the meeting
of the Board of Freeholders on Thursday
evening, for paving and improving the
boulevard, have been figured out by Chief
Engineer Harrison's assistants. The bids are
remarkably low, and show that the ~contrac-
tors are anxious to get work. The plans call
for the paving Of the roadway with Telford
pavement, laying the sidewalk, setting curb
and sewers, ETC., and it is the opinion of
many that the contractors will make very
little profit at the prices named in their bids.
After preparing the plans aud specifica-
tions, ant STIMULATING the material to be
used, the Chief Engineer estimated that the
total cost for paving the entire road would
amount to S597, $50, whilet the total amount
of the lowest bids received only figures S499,
ST.. IS, or S97, 70S. IS less than the estimate.
This would seem to demonstrate the fact that
the contractors are willing to do the work
for a very small profit in order to get some
thing to do.
The bids of the Hudson County Contract
ing Company are the lowest for the first
three sections, while the firm of Henry &
Mckinney outbid all the others for the re-
manning five sections. The work will I'M
doubleday all go to the two firms. Each
contractor was required to deposit a GER

dunn ON THE TARIFF
He Attacked and Denounced
Representative Johnson's
Proposition.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 90, 1894.-Rep-
| resentative Dunn participated in the tariff
debate yesterday afternoon, being the first
| New Jersey member to make a speech dur
| ing the discussion of the amendments. The
| subject under consideration was Representa-
tive Johnston's proposition to put steel nails
| on the free list, which was afterward de-
feated. Mr.. Dunn took issue with Mr..
| johnson. "He has developed into a very
unsafe leader" said Mr.. Dunn, 'and I pre-
fer to trust the committee which has ex-
| amined this question rather than to his
| erratic Judgment and theatrical attitudina-
tions before this body. l have seen him
making the widest endeavor to commit the
Democratic party of this House to his pecu-
liar doctrines of free trade. Ours is not a
free trade party, We did not make a free
trade platform at Chicago and the pledges
we made there we ought to redeem here.
Yes, you did," interrupted Jerry Simp-
son.

tinued Mr.. Dunn, when the laughter had

policy the tail is trying to wag the dog

gent, I judge it, of the Republican party the

tions of the gentleman of Ohio as one of the

plause.]
"For that reason" concluded Mr.. Dunn,

that before this House is again carried away
by his good fellowship and his peculiar
smiles and his apt answers, that they will
consider that he has not been appointed the
high priest of the Democratic party, and that
he is cutting its throat for g falls cam
paign."
This sentiment was greeted with applause
on the Democratic side.

DEAD ANIMAL MEN TAKE NOTICE.

Since Monday night last the body of a
dead dog has been in the gutter at Sixteenth
and Grove streets, and despite the fact that
the police of the Second precinct were motif
fed it remains there. The dog last Monday
night about nine O'Clock was run over by a
Grove street horse car. Two of the legs of
animal were broken and the poor beast was
unable to move. 1t winnings aroused the
ne~igbborhood, and a policeman having re-
fused to kill it, a citizen put it out of its
misery. The body has been a sickening
sight all week. especially to the children Of
st. Lucy's p~arochial school. If it is allowed
to remain there tomorrow it will not be a
pleasant sight for church-goers. The dead
animal man had better remove it tonight.
