Those nigh unto the man on horse
back at city hall say His Honor will
nominate the newly provided trio of
patrolmen at next Thursday nights
meeting of select council.
Who they will be, OF course, no one
knows, excepting the mayor, If he in
deed himself knows. When Mayor
Bailey took charge Of his office there
were seven hundred and some odd ap-
plicants for the position of patrolmen.
1t is safe to say this number has not
decreased to any appreciable extent
during the year, which has intervened.
This being thus it may readily be be-
lieved that the mayor Is having his
own troubles these days.
One of the new patrolmen will in
all likelihood be Edward Quinnan, of
the Twelfth ward, a brother of Hon.
John p. Quinnan, who has in addi-
ton to his own influence the special
patronage of Select Councilman James
]. Manley. Mr.. Manley's refusal to
join with his Democratic colleagues in
refusing to vote for Kinsley's removal,
would indicate that the gentleman from
the Twelfth had this or some other
weiFhty thing in mind when he bolted
MS party , CduCllS.
Select Councilman NJ. Z. Clarke, ru-
NOR hath it, informed the mayor that
he would be willing to do duty for a
| day or two as a patrolman, If the
captaincy was assured him, or IL he
would be given the still more genteel
position of city detective which is to
| be created now that the force has
| been increased.
John E. Gaffney is also spoken of as
| the possible city sleuth. He is not of
the ring, but his appointment, it is
| said, would placate the Fahey fac
| tion for the very frigid throw down
which the ex-sheriff received in the
| street commissioner contest.
Wade Finn, it is said, will be sat
| isfied with one-third Of the present
| plum plucking, and has Suggested
| to His Honor the appointment of
| Thomas Watkins, of the North End.
James II. Reilly, day janitor of the
| government building, wants to get in
out of the approaching dampness and
thinks to secure shelter in the base
ment of city hall. John White, form
| erly of Clarke & White. OF the North
End, is also mentioned among the pos
sibilities.
Patrolman John Moir is spoken Of as
a likely appointee to the detective po-
| sition.

REDFERN CORSET SENSE.
A Timely Talk on an Important
Tonic for Women.


Painting the Lilly with a view of add
ing to its beauty, has long been looked
upon as the acme of impudent audac-
ity. Yet such a course would not be
one whit more absurd than most of the
attempts that have been made to i'm
prove woman's form or figure by the
aid of corsets. The reason Is obvious.
The Divine hand that created the flow-
er of the field as well as mankind pro-
nounced all his works very good, and
If deterioration5 or defects have taken
place, man alone is responsible for
them.
Ever since tho introduction of the
corset, attempts have been made to
make models that would improve on
natures handiwork, and every woman
Of fashion knows what the result has
been---in three cases out of every four,
suffering and not unfrequently perma-
nent injury. This fact has long been
used as an argument against the use
of corsets, but that was because people
jumped at conclusions on the one hand,
while manufacturers erred in their
method on the other
AT last medical science was brought
to bear on the question, and a careful
study Of woman's anatomy proved be-
yond all question of a doubt that cor
sets could be made that would not only
fit comfortably while acting as a sup
port to the body, but that it was pos
sible to combine with these improve
ments an elegance of outline based on
scientific principles which achieved all
that the best of French modellus had
heretofore accomplished without the
violation of natural laws in the slight
est degree.
DIR. Warner is the inventor of such a
corset, and as will be seen by our ad-
Vertising columns, Messrs. Cleland,
Simpson & Taylor, of the Globe Ware
house, are this week making q special
display Of the Warner company's goods.
The manufacturers have sent with the
special exhibit an experiment filter
and arrangements have been made for
private fitting room where the gar
ments can be tried on and accurately
fitted to the figure without any extra
charge.

MISS CONNERY LOST A FINGER.
Because of This Two Suits Have
Been Brought.

Two suits in trespass each for the
same cause were begun against George
Singleton, proprietor Of the Meadow
Brook Silk mill on Saturday. The
plaintiffs are Margaret Connery who
sues for $4,000 damages, and her father
who wants $1,000. Attorneys Ira II.
Burns and Horace T.. Hand represent
the plaintiffs.
Miss Connery, who Is about II years
of age in her statement alleges that on
June is, 1895, she was an employe of
the defendant in the Meadow Brook
Silk mill and that the superintendent
ordered her to clean one of the ma
chimes while it was in motion, knowing
well that the occupation was danger
Gus. Miss Connery claims that the ma
chine was not properly guarded.
At any rate she lost one of the fingers
Of her right hand; and because of this
she has suffered greatly since the acct
dent and has not been able to devote
her time to her accustomed work. For
these she asks damages in the sum of
$4,000.
The statement made by her father
in the ether case is in effect the same
and he asks $1,000 for loss of his
daughters services, decreased earning
power, medical attention, etc.

E. B. Sturges returned Saturday from
three months visit abroad. While away
he made tour through the Holy Land
that being his third visit to Palestine. He
also passed through Egypt and went to
the Orient with Mr.. Wallace, the United
States consul to Jerusalem, who is O.
personal friend of Mr.. Sturges. 1t was
fourth visit to Egypt. In speaking of Il
industrial conditions of the countries |
visited Mr.. Sturges says that though
the surface the conditions appear pool ,
yet he judges that there are fewer men
out Of employment there than there is in
this country. A significant fact which
was noted Is the turmoil that exists in
Jerusalem and all over the Holy Land
because of the Gaeco-Turkish war.

WORKED THE BADGER GAME.
PIttston Man Confronts n Supposed
Irate Husband.

Alfred Hunter, a Pittston man, fell
in with Name Courtright at the
White house during the wee-sma'
hours of Saturday morning. Later in
the day he had the woman and Law
renee Kneadler before Alderman Mlllar
charged with keeping q disorderly
house and with having Nelieved him
of $40.
1t appears that Hunter accompanied
the woman to her apartments at No. 20
Lackawanna avenue. They were not
there very long when an apparently
irate husband broke in upon them and
proceeded to terrorize the unsuspecting
Pittston man. He says he was whip
ped and robbed of SO, but the police
think it more likely that he gave up
what little he had to pacify the sup
posed husband.
Chief Robling and Lieutenant Davis
supposed that Kneadler who is known
to be the Courtright woman's gentle
man friend, was the man in the case
and he was taken into custody. 1t de-
veloped, however, that he was not the
person wanted and Alderman Millar
discharged him.
Mrs. Courtr1ght gave bail in the sum
of $500 to answer at court for keeping
a disorderly house.

PENSION CLAIMS PUSHED.
Two Cases from This District Carried
Through Successfully.

Through the efforts of Congressman
Connell, Mrs. Susan Richardson, Of 343
Meridian street, this city, has been
granted a pension at $S a month from
Sept. 4, 1890, aggregating a sum in the
way of back pay, which amounts to
between six and seven hundred dollars.
The status of this claim was called up
at the pension office by Mr.. Connell,
April 13 last, and the claim allowed
May 20.
The case of Michael Cox, of Carbon
dale, was similar, its status having
been called for April II, and allowed
May II, at the rate of six dollars per
month from November 4, 1895. These
claims had long lain dormant under the
Hoke Smith regime of the Cleveland
administration, and their prompt ad-
justment now evinces not only ener-
getic work by the member from this
district. but also q more liberal policy
in the pension department.

timony made an order stating that the
evidence was not sufficient to prove
fraud or collusion and there was no
reason that the defendants should be
interfered with. The preliminary in
junction was dissolved. /. H. Burns

Kelly the defendants.

test Have Disheartening Day.
Not single bad or doubtful vote was
turned UP by the respondents in Sat-

Reuben Jones, Morris Berry, Sylvester

But for the wariness of Attorney
O'Malley one of the witnesses, Reuben
Jones, would have disqualified himself.
He testified that he was twenty-three
years Of age on his last birthday and
never paid any taxes, but on cross-ex-
animation, Mr. OMalley ELECTED the
fact that he was born February 27, 1875,
which removed all question of the le-
gality of his vote.
