The Evidence Was Very Much Against
Her. However,.


\ sample Of the complaints OF unjust
assessments daily heard by the board
Of tax revision in the city clerks Of

of woman who had been assessed for
owning dog. She was a poor lone
widow as are many who make app

was asked.
"No, | didn't" she snapped.

II don't care if did--that amt GOT
nothing to do with this year. If I paid
tax on a dog you're lot Of cheats 80
you air."
The assistant assessor for the Fifth
ward happened to be in the room and
remarked.
Il saw dog near this Womans house
and threw d stone at him. He ran
barking into the yard and stood yclping
alongside this woman who appeared in
the doorway, attracted there by the
commotion | asked her if that was
her dog and she said You bet your life
he is and if you don't clear ont of this

Such evidence overwhelmed the COM

EXCITEMENT IN NO. } SCHOOL.
Jets of Flame That Shot Up Through
the Floor the Cause.

The visit of the members of the
building committee of the board of
control to the schools of the South Side
was enlivened by an exciting incident
in No. 3 school yesterday morning.
Some paper had been thrown into the
register in Miss Penman's room on
the third floor and as there was a
warm fire in the furnace the paper was
soon set on fire and smoke and jets Of
flame began to shoot up through the
register.
The pupils became greatly excited.
but Miss Penman counseed them to
keep cool and panic was aVerted. A
few pals of water eXtinguished the
blaze, but it was deemed best to dis

the fire.

RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
SEWER DISTRICT NO. 10.
Ordinance Defining Its Limits Given
a Knockout Blow.

The ordinance creating new Sewer
district No. 10 was given knockout
blow in common council last night after
the members had been put in fighting
trim by the squabbla over the kinsley
matter. BY a vote of II to I the sewer
ordinance was defeated on third read
ins. 1t did not provide for the building
of sewers but was to establish the dis
tlict in the Fifth, Sixth, Fifteenth and
Eighteenth wards. The chief opposi-
ton came from the Sixth and Eigh-
teenth ward representatives. Follow
ing is the vote on which the motion to
pass the ordinance was defeated:
Nays-Loftus, Gordon Grier, Rcsan,
Gilroy, Flanagan, Wenzel, =. Wirth, 'Nea-
lis, Noone, Norton.-ll,
Yeas-S. Thomas, r. Thomas, Moir,
Sweeney Oliver, Keller, McGrail-7
Mr.. oliver called the ordinance up.
That 50 per cent, of the property own
ers OF a certain territory We're opposed
to the measure was stated by Mr..
NOone.
Mr.. Regan remarked that the method
of assessment was illegal according to
late decision of the supreme court and
that City Solicitor Torrey was his au-
thority His constituents. he continued,
wanted sewers but objected to the
boundaries of the district which should
contain two sewer district instead of
one.
MIR. OLINER'S ARGUMENT
Mr. Oliver said the district as out
lined was the result of two years care
full study and engineering by the city
engineer who had reached the only fea~
sible conclusion. a separate system for
west of Main avenue and involving
Keyser creek as final outlet was not
practical. The creek was dry during
portions of the year and at other times
contained only mine water, If that
route was selected for an outlet main
| sewer would have to be built for three.
miles down the creek to its junction
| with the Lackawanna river at Taylor.
Richard +. Thomas made a
| speech to the effect that the
| ward he represented needed sewers and
he hoped the project would not be de-
| featCd.
| Mr.. Noone read resolutions adopted
| Tuesday at a meeting of the Sixth and
| Eighteenth ward property owners pro-
| testing against the ordinance, annouuc-
| ing their belief that their wards should
not be included in the district as out
| llItu anu requesting lItli representa-
| tiVes in councils to oppose it,
The debate lasted a half hour before
| the vote was recorded.
A Ions report by a special committee
| recommending the payment of $1,000 IL
| Muldoon & BoWe for extra masonry
work ON the Spruce and Linden street
| bridges was adopted.
Claims against the city We're, on rec
| oumcndation of a special committee,
| ordered settled as follows: Frank Shift
fer $500; United Security company ,$l75;
c. p. Jones, $40.
The appropriation ordinance for 1851
expenditures passed third and final
reading and is now ready for considera-
ton in the upper branch tonight.
A select council ordinance providing
| for a sewer ON Washington avenue in

third reading, but action was deferred

An adjournment was taken until next

tion and said that persecution was bad
enough without slander being injected
into the matter. 1t was quite unnec-
essary to charge the street commits
sioner with serious oifense month
before he could commit it,
Captain Moir continued his remarks
and used much the same arguments as
had Mr.. Keller-that councils should be
bound by the mayors conclusions.
1t was MI. Zeidler's opinion that no
matter what the mayor said, councils
We're not bound to abide by an official
verdict; the members knew that Mr..
Kinsley had been guilty of wrong doing
and that was sufficient.
Persecution and not prosecution
was what Mr.. Seamans termed Mr.
Zeidler's and particularly Mr.. oliver 5
remarks. If councils adopted the reso-
luton it would be holding the mayor of
the city up to lidicule, and particularly
in view of Mr., Kinsley's resignation,
would be ruthless and unwarranted
action
Mr. Keller again obtained recognition
and announced that neither Mr.. Flan-
aghan, Mr.. Ieidler or himself the spec
ial committee, had disagreed with May
or Bailey when he had suggested that
the best interests of the city would be
served by Mr.. kinsley's remainipg until
April 80 in office. That was the DISPOSE
ton of the committee a week ago. The
resolution if passed would be an un-
necessary stain If Mayor Bailey had
concluded that the street commissioners
should be removed he CMr Keller)
would have been the first to approve
the conclusion.
RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
An aye and nay vote was called for
and the resolution was adopted by the
vote of Is to recorded in the foregoing
The resolution by the addition of the

turned to select council, from whence it

Reflections of a Bachelor.

The men that look h~aughtiest
and most defiant when some wom-
en- get or a smoking car are the
same one that daren't light a CT
gar on the front porch at home.
Marriage is the one ideal of a
young girl, and the one idea of a
widow.
The man who hates a crowd is
generally the one who marries the
woman with the twin habit.
If a man agrees with a woman
she thinks he is uninteresting, and
if he doesn't she thinks he is ig-
norant.
No matter what he does, if a
man is not married by the time he
IS 80 a oma will always believe
he is too gay.
The more a woman thinks she
knows about politics, the less fruit
she cans.
A girl spends lots of time won
dering what she would say if she
got kissed. and then doesn't say
anything.
When a woman cries till her
eyes and noes get all red she is
said to have been weeping her
heart out.-New York Press.
