ANOTHER AMENDMENT.

Citizsns Want . Small Change In til Q
New City Charter.
There is likelihood that the council
will amend ono more section of the
newly adopted charter at it's meeting
next Monday.
Several of the prominent citizens are
sdvocsting an amendment to the effect
that the mayor, instead .of the council.
shall appoint the city engineer. OF
course the appointment would have to
be confirmed BY the council, as shall be
done in the case of the street superin-
tendent and other officers. Since sew
eral citizens have strongly advocated
the amendment, it 10 likely it will be
made.
President Teed OF the council and sew
eral of the members OF that body approve
of it, and at present there is little doubt
that it will be made.
II no unforeseen circumstance arises.
the charter will be given to the printer
on Monday or Tuesday, and the neces-
sary publication will be made at once.
Then the approval of the legislature and
the people at the polls will be all that is
necessary to put the instrument into
operation.

Suffers Internal Injuries.
Chevalier Cliquot, the sword swal-
lower, who appeared ut the Palace
museum last season. and who made his
home in Scranton during the summer
of 1898. gave an exhibition of his
peculiar powers before a number of
New York doctors on Saturday and
suffered internal injuries from the ef-
fects of which he is not expected to re-
cover.
After swallowing all sorts of swords
Cliquot swallowed long cavalry
sabre. and to show that there was no
deception about the act he placed
bar on the hilt whicn protruded from
his mouth and weighted the bar with
fourteen pound dumbbells. Clquot
then rested few moments and took
fourteen swords. the blades of which
were about IN inch wide and, placing
them in his mouth. swallowed them.
One of the doctors, for whose benefit
the exhibition was given, instead OF
drawing the swords out singly, drew
them out all at once, cutting Cliquot
severely and causing him to faint.
