Board OF Aldermen.

The satisfaction among the Aldermen
is not so general and the eight Republi-
cans and Independents can not see why
the two Democrats should have between
them more than half of the chairman
ships. There are 10 committees in all in
the upper branch and Alderman Darcy is
chairman of four of them and Alderman
Mccarthy OF three, leaving tut six Others,
and six unimportant ones at that, to bo
divided up among eight members. Alder
men Winsor and Richards are the two
VINO get nothing. The idea OF the oivis-
ion of labor I'D honors was so completely
lost sight OF that Mr.. Darcy will have a
cbairmsn's responsibility for the city's
health and streets and illum nation, and
will also look after the consta bles, while
Mr.. Mccarthy will attend TO the police,
public bridges and the supervision OF the
milk traffic.

OF the committee on damages under the
dog law.

PresidentKendrick has removed this cause
for complaint by making it up wholly
OF lawyers. Mr.. West, the leader OF the
Democrats in the Council, is its chair
man. Mr.. Rathbone Gardner, the head
OF the Independent faction, is also mem
ber, and the Republicans are represented
by Francis w. Miner, Jr., and Willard B.
Tanner.
The committee on railroads has two of
the old members left, Mr.. Morse, who
has been made chairman, and Mr.. Grin
nell. The new members are James Ran
oall, Republican, and Elisha III Howard,
Independent.
There is but one new member on the
committee on sewers, Mr.. Freeman, who
takes the place made vacant by the retire
ment of Mr.. Wood. And Mr.. Blakely, who
was second member last year, is now chair
man.
1t will be seen that men have been ap-
pointed with reference to the experience
that they have already had on the several
committees; and the gaps made by the
retirement OF Is members OF the last
Council have been filled in a most inn
partial manner from the ranks OF the Re-
publicans, Democrats, aud Independents.

Waldo M. Gardner Prob
ably Fatally Injured.
He Fell Down a Flight of Steps
This Morning.
Accident Happened in the Flint Com
pany'S St0reh0usc.

Waldo NJ. Gardner, 80 years old, fell
down long and very steep flight of
steps in Flint Company's storehouse, at
the corner OF Aliens avenue and Rhodes
street, ct 9:l5 this morning. He sustained
injuries that will prove fatal. He had
been upon the roof OF the building to re-
pair leak and was OH his way to the
stable for a shovel to remove some o, the
snow. When at the head OF the second
flight OF. steps he fell, and struck his
head against heavy door, which II
located at the foot OF the flight.
Henry Millard end William ii. Horton
stood under the stairs and heard the
noise which they thought came from out
side OF the building and both men started
for the door and found Gardner lying
on the floor insensble.
The am mbulance from the Rhode Island
Hospital was called and the attending
physician found blood issuing from Mr.
Gardner's nose and ears.
Upon further examination it was found
that his skull had been fractured. He
was taken TO the hospital and the officials
there have put little hopes of his recov-
cry. Mr. Gardner has been in the employ
OF the Flint Company for many years,
and was known as q "handy" man. He
devoted most OF his time to the winiow
curtain department. He lives at 154
Point street where he has wife and two
children, and to make the sad occurrence
more distressing, one of the children u
seriously sick with scarlet fever.

Polish Girl Party in Three Ditfere nj
Marriage License Transactions.

"How-dO-yOu-do?" said Deputy
Clerk of the Courts Emil Bonn to Miss
Julia LORI, as she led the way into the
marriage license room yesterday after
noon, accompanied by a bashful young
man who afterward gave his name as
Louis DombrOskey, of Wilkes Barre,
and his occupation that of clerk.
Il don't know who you are young
man." she replied in a not very gracious
mood at all. She did not want her COM
paniOn to know that she had been to
the court house before. An eXamina-
tion of the license docket showed that
this was the third time Julia was there
for a license since the 5th OF the pres
ent month and each time she had q
different young man with her.
First she came on the fifth and was
accompanied by William Surnoski.
They gave their residence as Lacka-
wanna township. William lad tears in
his eyes when he got the license and
told Mr.. Bonn he was engaged to an
other girl before that. but she turned
him down. He was telling how good
Julia was to take him after he loved
another, and he assured her there that
his love for the former one was dead
and his heart was all hers.
His happiness was of short duration,
for On the ninth she came with Stanley
EuskewicS and got n license. This
time the place of residence given by
both was Dickson City. Yesterday she
came with Mr.. Dambroskey. He lives
in Wilkes Barre, and she said she lives
in Scranton. She became very indig-
nant when Mr.. Bonn pressed his ques-
tions about her former trips to the Of
fipp.
