CITY LEGISLATORS.
No More 0ne-Story Frame
Houses on PAR Of the
Boulevard.

The Board of Aldermen at its meeting
last night passed a resolution directing
the Building Inspector to not receive any
applications or grant any permits for the
erection of one-story frame houses on the
line of the Boulevard, between the Penn
sylvania and Central Railroads. The
resolution was passed at the request of
residents and properly owners between
the points mentioned. Their object, they
say, is to exclude business from that sec
ton of the Boulevard and preserve it for
residences.
The Board refused to allow Mary Far
bell to repair and make an extension to
the frame house, No. 261 First street. H.
l.. Rugge and others COM
planned that the repairs would not i'm
prove the property, and would result in
the attraction of a low class of people
whose presence would have an ill effect
upon adjoining property.
Abel Cohen was refused a license for a
saloon at No. 326 Henderson street.
The Committee on Elections were depu-
tized to procure such supplies as are
necessary for the equipment of the fol-
lowing places for the special election to
to be held September rs.
An ordinance was introduced increasing
the power of the Inspector of Scales,
Weights and Measures. 1t provides that
all weights and scales must be tested and
sealed by the Inspector. Any merchant
using scales or weights which are out of
order, and which have not been tested
and sealed, subjects himself to a fine of
500. The ordinance also provides that
scales and weights shall be sent to the
Inspectors office to be tested. Merchants
using scales which cannot be adjusted
are also liable to a fine of $40. The or
dinance was laid over under the rules. 1t
is expected that considerable opposition
will develop, as merchants assert that
Inspector Rohde allows spite to govern
his actions. The new ordinance, it is
said, is a slap at some merchants the In
spector has had trouble with.

The statement made in the journal
that there was dissatisfaction among the
clubs because, it was alleged, notices OF
the League election had not been received
until it was too late for them to be read
to the members, caused President Bech-
told to say, when the business of elect

IT hope notice will be taken of the fact
that /, personally, have nothing to say on
behalf of the candidates. Such articles
as appeared in the Journal work an
injustice and tend to curtail the influence
of such organizations as ours. In view
of the article 1 have referred to, I think
that to insist on a reelection in face of
the insinuations made would be out of
place, and /, for one, must decline a re-
nomination this evening""
John T. Pringle said.-.I fail to see why
the chair should take exception to press
comments. I think it is the unanimous

succeed himself. I move a vote of con-
idence in our present president" This
was given by every delegate rising to his
feet.

THE DOGS FRIEND
MI. Peshan Protests Against Mayor
HOOs, Proclamation.

Chas. ]. Peshall called on Mayor Hoos,
this morning, and protested against his
proclamation authorizing the general pub
lie to kill all dogs running at large I'M
muzzled. The grounds of Mr.. PeshalPs
objection were these:-The practice of
muzzling dogs is cruel and is not pro-
ductive of any good; the authorizing of
s'any person to kill unmuzzled dogs is
an mediation to cruelty, and a license to
every one to aunt the animals with u
or pistol. This is practically a nullifca-
ton of the law prohibiting the carrying
of weapons, and anyone who X ad-
vantage of the proclamation and kills a
dog is liable to arrest and punishment,
under the Cruelty to Animals laws.
Mr.. Peshall also urged that the ordi-
nance under which the proclamation is
issued is Illegal inasmuch as 1t violates
the property rights of citizens. He fur
Their protested against the enforcement
of the dog tax as being unconstitutional.
The Mayor said he would consult with
Corporation Counsel Blair.

Which IS THE LAMB?
Colonels Tofey and Dickinson
Sit Together Again at
the Erwins' Outing.

The outing of the John j. Erwin Assoc
| citation. yesterday, was a success in more
respects than one. 1t was a success So
cially, numerically, gastronomically and
politically, especially politically. The
| standard bearer accomplished yesterday
what yice-President Hobart, Senator
! sewell, Governor Griggs and other big
summarizes of the G. o. p. nave vainly
tried to accomplish. He brought together
the warning Coionels-Colonel Samuel d.
Dickinson and Colonel John J. Toffey.
They sailed together to College Point on
the same boat, broke bread and other
things at the same table in Zehden's
Casino, came back on the same boat. and
finally capped the climax by exhibiting
themselves together in the same bar
ouche at the head of the Erwin Associa-
ton as it paraded through the streets in
the lower part of the city. It was a
Republican symposium, a sight to make
Republicans rejoice and move Democrats
to tears.
The pyr~otechnical display with which
such affairs are usually wound up as
| sumed a greater brilliancy in honor of
the occasion. The red lights were red
der, the blue lights bluer, the skyrockets

man candles were more Romanesque
than on ordinary occasions.
AS the open barouche. with the two
Colonies seated side by side, wearing
| badges of the John ]. Erwin Association
which were exactly alike, drove along the
line of march at the head of the parade,
much comment was ELECTED. AS every
body knows, the two Colonies have not
been as close as two peas in a pod for
many a long day. Politically, it has been
a case of war to the knife and the knife
to the hilt. When Colonel Dickinson got
a chance at Colonel Toffey, he unhesitat-
ingly plunged his political knife into him
| and twisted the blade. Colonel Toffey, on
I his part, did as much for Colonel Dick
inson when the opportunity offered it
self, but the opportunities were fewer.
1t can be readily understood, therefore,
that the appearance of the two Colonies
in the barouche excited surprise and COM
ment.
Ibid you see Colonel Dickinson and
Colonel Toffey in the same coach?' was
a question frequently asked.
IT Is a case Of get together boys" re-
you.iis be in the soup next fail fainI.sSSi
Whatever it is, the fact remains that
the two Colonies are reconciled, and John
]. Erwin did it. There were other Re-
publican statesmen at the outing and
many of them. Ex-Mayor Wanser was
there, and SO were County Clerk Fisher.
Fire Commissioner Brennan, Street and
Water Commissioner Brown, James c.
Young, Horace H. Farrier, Assemblymen
Klink, De R. Leonard, bod and Urquhart,
Sam Blakey. Billy Eaton Edward

The affair was. a great success. The
breakfast and dinner were served up in
enjoyed by everybody. Standard Bearer
Erwin was everywhere and looked after
everybody's comfort. He was ably as
sisted by President Joe Locke, Secretary
Charles Lyons, Treasurer Richard Dewey
and other members.

TRIAL By TORTURE.
Mans Feet Badly Burned 10 Force a
Confession of Theft.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Aug. 4, 1s97.-A
tale of terrible torture was told by Luhasz
Sondey to Justice of the Peace Shoe
maker yesterday. His story was that he
had been tied fast and burned on the feet
by Andrew Petchak and Wladislaw FREE
dina, who wanted him to confess hat he
had robbed them of $50. The men sur
prised him in his bedroom, bound him,
and then hung him to a nail in the wall,
with a rope under his arms. While thus
suspended they applied lighted matches
to the soles of his feet and threatened to
continue the torture all night if he did
not confess to the theft and tell where
the money was hidden. Sondey finally
tainted, and his tormentors released him
without securing a confession.
Meanwhile a %neighbor who la dis
covered what was going on called a couple
of policemen. When the officers entered
the house they were, set upon and severely
baten by Petchak and Fredima. The Off
GERS finally escaped, and the accused men
were raided and taken into custody by a
posse. Sondey Is in a critical condition.
He denies all knowledge of the theft.
