ARRANGING FOR CONVENTION.
knights of Pythias Arranging for the
Meeting in This City.

The convention committee to prepare
for the twenty eighth annual conven-
tion of the knights of Pythias, to be
held in this city, August II to q, inclu-
sive, held a meeting in Roaring Brook
castle hall, in the Hubert building,
Wednesday evening, and began the
work of preparing for the convention.
About forty-five members of the COM
mittee were present and District Depu-
ty William Shiffer presided. The re-
ports of several subcommittee We're
heard and without exception were graf
flying.
A conservative estimate of numerical
strength of the delegates who will be
present says that at least 500 will be
here. This number will be aug
mented by at least 500 more members
of the uniformed divisions, who. during
their presence here will be encamped
probably in Laurel Hill park, under
rigid military discipline.
The encampment will last three days.
There is a prize offered by Grand
Chancellor II. N. Dunnell of $50 to the
Pennsylvania lodge making the best
appearance, at the parade to be held
August Is.

IN COMMON COUNCIL.
Mulberry Street Paving Contract Was
Not Considered.

Common council held a stated meet
ing which was preceded by a meeting
of the pavement committee to which
We're referred one week ago the pro-
posals received for paving Mulberry
street with asphalt. The committee
did not prepare a report.
Bearing in mind the fact that several
months ago the Mulberry street prop
erty owners announced themselves as
wanting the best asphalt for the money,
whether it was of the pitch or land
variety but favoring the latter, the
committee decided informally to even
tually recommend that the award be
made to the Columbus Construction
company. This company had made a
very low bid accompanied by samples
of land asphalt. The committee will
investigate the standing and compet-
ency of the company and If approved
and if the property owners still cling
to the land asphalt idea, the Columbia
company bid will be recommended.
The common council session was de-
void of important business.
All sidewalk and grading ordinances
in committee We're reported favorably
and ordered printed. and the contract
lpi loSlilS lldSSlpit NdihS oil i-dldyeltS
street was awarded to James McNally.
An ordinance passed third reading
providing for retaining wall on the
east side of West Market street; on
first and second readings We're passed
ordinances providing for sidewalks on
Ninth and Robinson streets and for a
-sewer on Sanderson avenue, New York
street, Fordham court and Monsey ave-
nue.,
A number of concurrent resolutions
from the other branch We're approved.

THOSE ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
There developed a fight for adjourn
ment when an electric light ordinance
was called up on third reading. 1t pro-
vided for four lights in the Tenth ward.
Thlrty-flve electric light ordinances are
now by common consent hung up In
committee because of the difficulty of
the estimates committee in making the
1897 appropriations fit the estimated
revenues. Councilmen whose light or
dinances had passed two readings have
been waiting for an opportune time to
secure their passage when Mr..
Wagner started the ball last night. Mr..
Chittenden's motion to adjourn was
supported by several members.
The motion did not prevail, however,
and in the midst of the same motion
repeated several times but always de-
feated the following ordinances passed
third reading: Common council ordi-
nances providing for two lights in the
Nineteenth, four In the Fifteenth and
one in the Eighth wards, and a select
council ordinance for four lights in the
Tenth ward.
Finally motion to adjourn was car
ried, but previous to the action on the
electric light ordinances a volume of
minor business was disposed of.
TAX COLLECTORS BONDS.
The bonds of number of ward tax
collectors which had been approved by
the city solicitor were accepted I'm
der the head of concurrent business,

A FATAL COINCIDENCE.
DIR. Ives and His Patient Die About
the Same Time.

A peculiar coincidence occurred in
connection with the death of Dr. W. w.
Ives Wednesday night, A Polish wo-
man employed at the home of W. Ro-
senberE, of 306 Penn avenue, and who
had been treated by DR.. Ives in his
capacity as outdoor poor physician,
died within a few moments of the
time the physician passed away.
She was supposed to be convalescing
from an attack of erysipelas but late
Wednesday night she became worse.
n messenger who was sent for Dr.
Ives learned of his death on reaching
the house. He notified Poor Director
Fuller who hurried!y dressed and
called for Dr. Gunster on Penn ave-
nue..
When Dr. Gunster and Mr.. Fuller ar
rived at the girls bedside she was
dead. She had been in this country
but a few months and her name was
unknown. She was buried in the Hyde
Park Catholic cemetery yesterday by
the poor authorities.

Swallowed a Button, Which Lodged
in the Nindpipe.

death Wednesday afternoon. The little
one was playing with his sister who
is few years his senior III the XII cten.
The girl had a string of buttons. In
trying to pull them out of his sisters
hand this little fellow managed TO get
a handful of them and childliiSe put
them Immediately into his mouth. The
little girl called her mother but bee
fore she arrived the baby had swal-
lowed one of the largest of the but
tons.
1t lodged in the windpipe and COM
pletely stopped the breathing. DR..
Caldwell, the nearest physician, who
was four blocks away, was hastily
summoned but before he could arrive
the child had expired. The little ones
struggle for breath was pitiful to be-
hold and almost drove the mother fran
tic.

view of the matter.
CHITTENDEN'S FEELINGS.
He felt, he said, much like the man
station to hold baby moment, but

without assurance that select council
