REVIEW OF THE WORK.
Alfred Twining, Late Secretary Of the
Board Of Trade, Makes an
Excellent Report.

Alfred Twlning, whom Joseph e.
Oliver succeeded as secretary of the
West Side board of trade, had pre-
pared the customary review by the
secretary of the work of the board
during his term of office, which was
to have been read at the last meeting
of the board. Circumstances, however,
interfered and the report was not Civ
en-. The review has been placed at the
disposal of The Tribune.
1t is quite lengthy yet certainly in
teresting. After speaking Of the work
of the board in a general way and men,
tioning the Linden street bridge as the
foremost achievement, Mr.. Twining re-
fers in a complimentary way of the
work of A. NJ. Morse, who is chiefly re-
sponsible for paving of Robinson and
streets adjoining.
The bettering of the Traction COM
pany's street car service is also men,
toned. The West Side hospital an
other immeasurably beneficial addi-
tion, and the work of bringing it about
calls for some attention.
In concluding his report, Mr. Twin
ing pays a highly eulogistic and de-
served tribute to the memory of d. NJ
Jones, who was one of the most hon
ored members of the board The report
shows that the West Side board OF
trade is a factor for great good to the
people of the West Side. The regular
monthly meeting of the board will be
held this evening in ex-Alderman
Blair's office.

Mrs. Bridget Maloney was arraigned
last evening before Alderman Roberts
at the instance Of Mrs. Ellen Kline,
who alleged that Mrs. Maloney commit
ted an assault upon her and made
threats. The defendant was held in
$500 bail for her appearance at court.
William Pulaskus was arrested yes
terday by Constable Seth Smith on a
charge of aggravated assault and bat
terry, preferred by Thomas Burgonos.
The accused was given a hearing last
evening before Alderman Fidler. Froln
the testimony given by Burgonos it
appears that he was fortunate that
Pulaskus did not behead him with an
ak, as was his evident intention. Per-
sons who saw the assault intercepted
the blow. AS it was Burgonos sus-
tained a badly battered head and a
bruised face. Pulaskus was held in $500
bail for his appearance at court, and
III default was committed.

WHAT BECAME OF JACKSON.
Arrested and Brought TO This City,
but Cannot BE Found.

George Jackson, of Dunmore, was
making anxious inquiries about the
city last night for his son, Joseph
jackson. Mr.. Jackson owns a farm at
Winners, which is worked by his son.
Last night about o'clock the son and
a strange man drove up to the fathers
house at Dunmore, and Joseph said
that he was under arrest and the
strange man was a constable.
why didn't you have a hearing at
Wimmers?" asked the father.
"He wouldn't let me-" replied the son
pointing to the officer. Just made me
get right in the buggy with him and
come along"
Then the impatient officer put the
whip to the horse and before the as
tonished Mr.. Jackson realized what
had happened his son was disappear
ing down the road in cloud of dust.
He went to one of his neighbors and
told him the story and together they
came to this city. They made the
rounds of the aldermen's offices, but
nc trace of young Mr.. Jackson could
be found, nor was anything known
about him at the county jail or central
police station. officer and prisoner had
disappeared as effectually as If they
had sunk into the earth.
At IL o'clock last night Mr.. Jack
son, ST., gave up the search and re-
turned weary and detected to his home.

ALMOST CAME TO BLOWS.
Attorney vidaver and Fcrdinando
Arigoni Have an Encounter.

Attorney Nathan Vidaver and Fer
dinando Arigoni, who was prosecu-
tor in case before Alderman Howe
last evening in which vidaver was de-
Tending Louis friedman, almost came
to blows during the hearing of the case.
Arigoni was suing Friedman for the
value of partition and some hen coop
wire. The amount at stake was $3.50.
Freedman entered two offsets, one for
$3.75 which was for a suit of clothes
said to have been purchased by Ari-
goni at Freedman's Penn avenue store
and never paid for
The other offset was an account of
s2.75 which Friedman claimed had
never been paid for boards which Ari-
goni got. This was the torch which
set afire Attorney Vidaver and the
equally loquacious Mr.. Arigoni.
They said all sorts of things about
each other, Mr.. Vidaver bringing the
full battery of his powers to the front
in the encounter. 1t came to such a
pass finally that Alderman Howe Sc
verely told them to "get out;" that "he
didn't want any Of their bushes in his
court"
The case was really amusing but the
principals were dreadfully in earnest.
Alderman Howe reserved his decision.
He stated last night to Tribune re-
porter that as he felt then he would
make the award in favor of Arigoni.
Friedman swore last night at the hear
ing that If Arigoni did not give bail the
suit of clothes he (Freidman) would
tear them from his body.

CONDITION OF THE INJURED.

The West Side residents, who We're
so badly shaken up and injured in the
street car collision of Sunday after
noon on Prescott avenue, are doing
fairly we'll, with one exception. The
exception is Mrs. William M. HOwells,
of Price street, whose condition still
remains somewhat serious. Mrs. How
ellis had been i'll for some time with
pleuro-pneumonia ard had only re-
covered sufficiently to go out during
the previous week. In her naturally
weakened state of health the personal
fright, her anxiety for her baby, ard
the jar she received in being thrown
from the car, these things combined as
a setback. A thorough diagnosis of
her condition is at present impossible,
but proper care and quietness will no
doubt produce good results. The 9TH
ers will soon entirely recover.
