Side.

SId6s
John Webb, saloon keeper employ
ed at Mann's bar on Lamar street, was
severely cut yesterday afternoon by
Charles Underwood.
With couple of companions Under
wood went into the bar, where drinks
were served then. While talking
with Webb Underwood, it is said,
reached over and struck him in the
right breast, though Webb paid no
particular attention to The blow at the
moment.
When the trio departed it was no.
ticed that Webb was bleeding consd-
erablv from a knife thrust in the
breast where Underwood struck him.
Underwood was arrested at once and
locked up, but was subsequently re-
leased on bond of $3.50.
Webb was carried to DR.. Prather's
Office, where the wound was Civ
en- proper attention. The knife blade,
DIR. Prather said, struck the sixth rib
and glanced, making a cut two or three
inches in length The wound is
not considered a serious one, mas
much as the blade did not penetrate

The County Court.

The time of the county court has
been taken up to day with hearing
the petitions of people who think
that their assessments are too high.
Several hundreds of dollars in re-
auctions were asked for. The new
assessment increased the amount of
taxable property on this side Of the
river several hundred thousands of
dollars the greater part of which
came from the improvements on
Beeehurst. Here the biggest kick
came in The assessments were in
many instances much too high down
there and the property holders pro-
tested vigorously. The court saw
the injustice of many of the assess
ments and a large number of the pc
titions for relief were allowed

The Girl l Left Behind Me.

Young men and young girls who
want to learn the up-to- datest way OF
making love should see 1.-The Girl i
Left Behind Me- at Music Hall
Tuesday night, December l4th. Ju-
Illus Cahn's players give a series OF
lessons in courtship at every per-
Torrance. There are four pairs of
lovers in the drama and as each pair
has its own way of billing and COO
ing and each style proves effective
in the end the patron of the theatre
can take his choice and shape his
love-making accordingly. Most
young men will prefer to do their
wooing after the manner of the
manly soldier hero and the womanly
soldiers daughter, who is the hero
inc, but the comedy lovers have at
tractive little methods that are nice
and novel and it will do nobody any
harm to give them trial

Petition for Mass Meeting of Citizens

Harry Google has the petition for
a mass meeting of the citizens of the
borough and it is receiving large
number of signatures The meeting
is to be held on December Dist. The
purpose of this meeting is to make a
platform and nominate ticket to
be voted upon in the municipal cleo
ton to be held in January.
There is no reflection on any pre-
vious council in this action but the
people want to know just what is
proposed to be done by the city
dads before they are elected. The
meeting will probably ask for a
financial statement of the town S
condition.

Modern Dentistry.

The. dentistry Of the 10Th century
differs as much from the dental work
Of we oIden time as the modern
safety bicycle does from the old
fashioned wheelbarrow. The latest,
most perfect and artistic dentistry
is known as crown and bridge work.
In this manner of inserting artificial
teeth, the old bunglesome, cumber-
some, filthy plate is done away with.
And it is to be regretted that so few
dentists thoroughly understand this
new departure in dentistry, especial
" the older members of the profes-
sion who have not had the opportu-
nifty to learn crown and bridge work,
as it is only in the past few years
that the colleges give anything like
thorough course in this new de-
parture.
Fully realizing this fact / have
taken special pains to fit myself in
every particular for this special work
Not only through the dental college
but have recently taken two special
courses in this branch of dentistry
from those acknowledged to be Tho
best teachers. Come and see me. See
ing is believing. My prices are
right, my work is right, and you vii
be more than pleased.

boards at the Academy Of Music,

On Monday the river reached a
height of Is feet at this place. Many
of the steamboats, had difficulty in
passing under the bridges. The pilot
houses of the packets were taken
down to allow them to make their
regular trips. No damage was done
by the water.
The annual report of Major Chas.
f. Powell, United States engineer,
recommends improvements to the
locks and dams of the Monongahela
river that would cost about $4,000
600. He advocates raising each of
the lock walls and dams two feet, in
order to give a greater depth of wa
ter.
The late Capt. Adam Jacobs. Sr,
is said to have been superstitious,
according to the Pittsburg Chroni
Gle Telegraph. He would never name
boat that commenced with IN" or
begin any new work on Friday. 1t
is said of him that many years ago
force of men went up the Monon-
gahela river by his orders to com
mence the erection of a church at
East Riverside The men arrived
Thursday evening and in order to
prevent them starting on the work
on Friday, he made them break
ground for the building on Thursday
night.
The Uniontown Tigers, the color
ed football team, were compelled to
disband the other day without being
able to play a single game with any
out of town team, much to their dis
appointment. They trained faith
fully for several weeks and were the
cause of creating much football en-
thusiasm in town. They had a game
arranged with Pittsburg team for
Thanksgiving but that team can
celled the date at the last moment,
leaving then without a game They
tried then to arrange a game with
the colored team of Morgantown but
to no avail. They were beaten sew
eral times by the public school team,
because the school boys knew the
game better than the Tigers. They
say they are not discouraged and
will put team on the gridiron next
season that will beat any colored
team hereabouts.

1t being the intention Of the Speaker
that no general legislation shall be en-

a revenue bill, only three committees Of
the House have been appointed, and
they are on Rules, Ways and Means, and
Appropriations.
Having passed the tariff bill, nothing

stitution provides that neither house
shall adjourn without the consent Of the
other for period longer than three days.
Any number Of members may adjourn

quorum, that is, a majority Of all the
members of the body, to adjourn for
three days.

ARMOR PLATE AND POPULIsM.

A provision was incorporated in the
navy appropriation bill passed at the
late session Of Congress authorizing the
Secretary Of the Navy to erect an armor
plate manufacturing establishment for
the governments permanent use in case
he could not contract for the manufac-
ture Of armor at $500 ton, and IL mil
lion dollars was appropriated for that
purpose.
This is the principle contended for by
Populists, They hold that whatever pub
public work can be done as we'll by the
government as it can be done by private
persons and at less expense to the people,
it not only within the constitutional su
thority Of Congress to provide for doing
the work, but it Is its duty to do so. 1t
is the same principle of public policy
that operates in city construction and
ownership Of public utilities.
