WASHINGTON is crowded
with republican applicants for

Justus Bishop treasurer Previous to-
the adjournment of the old council sew
eral bills We're paid and Tax Collector
Philbin read a statement showing Il
balance due the borough amounting to
$46l from which his commission and

the newly elected cOuncilmen, John
f.. Jones, of the First ward; Michael
Dean, of the Second ward, and =. j.
Lotus, of the Third ward, took their
seats The temporary organization for
receiving the certificates Of election
was effected by the selection of William
Hunt for chairman and John f.. Jones
secretary. Patrick McAndrew, of Sa-
lem street. presented a certificate
signed by the judge of election of the
Second ward which the council re-
fused to accept. The certificate pur-
ported to show that Mr.. MCAndrew had
been elected while there was no return
of his vote made to the court as re-
quired by law. A certificate to this eff
feet was produced and formed the basis
of the objections of the council which
thereupOn refused to recognize Mr.. Nc
Andrews. There was some confusion
during which several gentlemen de-
sired to speak. The council refused to
"go behind the returns" however, and
Mr.. McAndreW was not seated. Mr..
Philbin, who was recently appointed,
will remain in office until his successor
qualities. Burgess Langan presented
his first message, which was filled with
ideas which it would be well for the
council to give heed to. That the spirit
of the message was appreciated was
very evident from the loud applause
that greeted the reading of it After
appointing p. j. Barrett pathmaster the
council adjourned until Thursday even

account.
Lucent, becoming enraged in the dis
pute, seized a. revolver and struck PERI
a violent blow on the face breaking
two of his teeth. Then when PERI
attempted to defend himself the revol-
Yer was fired twice and the unfortu-
nate man fell with two bullet wounds
in his head. Lucent then ran from the
house and disappeared. The result of
the shooting is as yet uncertain. a
warrant is in the hands of the officer
Edward Neary, for his arrest and eff
forts have been made to find him.
Perri is not thought to he fatally in
