What Remains to Be Done.

The city building matter was the prin-
epal topic in conversation on the street.
Thursday. Alderman Lang and Council
nan Morrill, had chat with the mayor
yfter the meeting. Wednesday night. and
While both of the first mentioned gentle
men were indignant because Council
nan Dunham's order was not handled IN
he upper branch, the mayor maintained
MS usual calm serenity.
Thursday the question came up as to
whether the opposition would ask the
curt for an Injunction restraining the
lily Hall Commission from issuing the
proposed bonds.
Relating TO this prticular phase of the
ase member of the commission said
o the Journal. yesterday morning:

Fireman Brann's Case.

1t is said that the committee on claims
on the part of the city council will
recommend that Fireman Ellery r.
Brann be given $500 to compensate him in
)art for the expense for medical treat
nent and for loss of time resulting from
he injuries sustained by him at the Mel
on fire several weeks ago AT the April
Meeting of the city council the case was
Introduced in the upper branch by Alder
nan fitzpatrick and was referred to the
committee on claims. That committee
.ook the matter under advisement but
could not agree upon the amount that
should be granted Mr. Brann and so the
natter was referred back to the city
council for advice and instructions.
Mayor Redington Wednesday night
stated that there was no inclination on
the part of the committee to treat Mr..
Brann shabbily, but that there was some
contention over the amount that should
be given him. Some had thought 5000
the proper figure. others thought 1t too
much and that it would be establishing
rather a bad precedent. Alderman Gil
patrick was recognized and made a plea
for 800 or more. This he said would not
begin to pay Mr.. Brann for the expense
of medical treatment and the loss of
time from his work. Mr. Brann had
been injured while doing his duty as n
fireman of the city and the accident was

hardly fair for the board To have re-

that Bowen has entered a civil suit

Kelley Tor Injury 10 Head.

SOmersworth. N. H., May 6.-Joseph
F. Kelley, the confessed slayer Of
Cashier Stickney. has made some mat
tiers plain in regard to the killing OF
Stickney, which have heretofore puz-
zled the officials. To a Somersworth
official who visited the JAIL Tuesday,
Kelley said that he originally intended
to chloroform Stickney.
He went to the bank, Thursday noon,
disguised, and had with him bottle of
chloroform and straps to bind him with.
also a wooden box in which TO carry off
the money. Miss Swasey's presence in
the bank prevented his carrying out
his plans.
on the day of the murder he got the
Berwick postoiiice stamps on forged
order. He had with him a large parcel
containing an overcoat, hat, FELLOWSHIP
and iron bar. which he asked the
cashier to put in the vault. 1t was too
large 10 get underneath the wicket and
Stickney opened the door to receive it,.
Kelley then rushed in and committed
the deed Having no need to use the
iron bar. ne threw it in the wood closet
where II was found, Tuesday, by Will
liam II. Rich.
This new confession disproves the
theory that he reached underneath the
wicket and struck the cashier with a
LACK Jack. The chloroform and wooden
box have been found al his room IN
Berwick.
