COMMON COUNCIL MEETING.
A Large Amount of Important Busi-
ness Transacted.

At last nights meeting of the COM
mon council, James Grier the MEM
Der from the Third ward, was any
thing but soothed by the strains of mu-
sic that floated into the council cham
Der through the open doors and win
dOws. He wanted to know several
things and one of them was who it
was that gave the band permission to
play in front of the city hall any even
ing, but particularly on a Thursday
evening when the city fathers are in
solemn COnclave assembled.
If concert is given again without
permission being obtained he threat
ems to bring the Cumberland band, of
which he is leader, down and plant
them on the steps of the City hall and
give ian evening of music"
President Luther Keller served no.
ticc on the members that he will vote
against every measure for the trans
fer of appropriations until such time
as the city makes provision for its
large growing Indebtedness, the pay
ment of which is unprovided for. lie
believes uneXpended balances should
be used for this purpose.
Mr.. Zizleman, of the Eighth ward,
introduced an ordinance providing for
a public election to vote upon the
question of increasing the indebted
ness of the city for the purpose of con-
structing an electric light plant to fur
nish light for the city. The proposition
is to issue bonds to the amount Of $l4O.-
600. The ordinance was referred to
committee for consideration.

PILGER WAS VERY ANGRY.
Said the Machine Would Only Leave
over His Dead Body.

Dcputy Sheriff j. ID, Ferber had an
exciting time at ThToOp yesterday for
n few minutes. lie went there to take
a machine i'm the possession of Mr.. and
Mrs. +. G. Pilger, which was replev-
ired by the Singer Manufacturing COM
pany.
When the deputy sheriff explained
the cause of his visit Pilger became
very angry and told Ferber that the
machine would only leave the house
over his dead body The deputy sher-
iii had no desire to do any killing and
he told Piger that If he offered any
resistance he would summon q suiiic-
lent force of deputies to overcome him
aud, cart him of TO the county jail.
When the futility of interfering with
shcrif1's officer was made plain to
pngcr he allowed the machine To be
taken and with his wife followed il
10 the city.
The machine was bought or 2 lease
by man who sold IL 10 Strong, tho
secondhand furniture man, He solo II
to the Pilgers, who thus came innocent
ly enough into the possession of tn,
Singer company's property.

HOME FOR FRIENDLESS,
Some of Those Who Have Come to
Its Rescue-Societies Are Going
to Lend Their Assistance.

Many persons of the city are express
ing sincere concern regarding the fin
ancial distress of the Home for the
Friendless and it is probable that the
publicity given to the case will result
in some practical plan of relief before
autumn.
Fortunately there are many friends
of the institution who do not wait for
others to devise ways and means but
set about it to effect results as soon as
the real need is made known.
The Tribune is not at liberty to state
the details of the matter, but a prom
incnt organization Of men are
seriously considering the appro-
priations of u large sum to
apply upon the debt and if 9th
er societies and lodges should fol-
low this example, the burden would be
lifted in short order and with no APP
preciable drain upon the individual
organizations.
A prominent business man yesterday
suggested a systematic canvass Of the
city for annual subscriptions for the
support of the Homa. which is n good
idea.
Among the pleasant features con
nected with this most unpleasant em'

quest of Attorney r. +. Duffy in the

Prothonotary John Copeland re-
ceived from Judge j. w. SimOntOn, of
Dauphin county, yesterday, an opin-
ion in the case of Michael j.. Dolphin
against Joseph II. steele. Judge Sim
onton refuses to strike off Il non suit
which was granted when the case was
tried before him here.
Mr.. Dolphin sued for one-seventh of
the capital stock of the West Ridge
Coal company. He claimed there was
an agreement by the men who organ
ized it to give him that amount of
stock for services in relation to secur-
ing coal leases under which the com
pany is now operating. The opinion
is as follows:
st the trial Of this case after the plain
tiff had closed his testimony. motion
was made by the defendant for "a COM
pulsory nOn-suit for several reasons set
forth i'm the motion filed. The motion
was granted with leave to move for a
rulo to show cause why the non-suit
should not be taken off, and subSC-
quCntly the rule was argicd.
After most careful consideration We
have como to the conclusion that the rule
must be discharged. Apart from the in
definite nature of the plaintiffs own tes-
timony and the fact that very much of
It has, in our opinion, no relevancy TO
the cause of action set forth in his state
mcnt; there is, as we Construe the agree
ment on which the action is based a
fatal defect in the proof.
BY agreement the plaintiff was TO re-
Ccive $1,000 paid up stock of the new COM
pany to be formed, and was to hold one
seventh of the capital stock of the new
company, of which the $1,000 paid up
stock was to be a part. This we under
10, IA
and pay for ut par all the stock above
5000 par value, necessary to make up
ne-seVenth of the whole capital stock
of the corporation.
The agreement does not state what the
amount was to be, but plaintiff gave IN
evidence the charter of the West Ridge
Coal company. as the corporation in qu"S-
tiOn; and it has a capital stock of 500,
900, so that his one-sCvcnth would he sew
cral thousand dollars more than the
thousand which was to be issued to hin
paid up; and he has made no offer tt
pay for the remainder of the stock, cithel
before action was brought Or since. In
deed he denies all obligations to pay any
thing on account of the agreement
Therefore, as we construe it, he has no
shown any right TO maintain the action
aside from the consideration of the ques
tOn whether as one only of the partic
of the first part to the agreement IN
could sue alone.
The agreement itself is somewhat in
definite i'm its terms; plaintiffs own tcsti
m0ny Is much more indefinite than tn
agrcomCnt. and under these Circum
stances and without view of the effect o
his failure to tender the consideration o
the agreement, we think the cOmpulsor,
nOn-Suit must stand.
If we are in error in this the error vii
be corrected on appeal, and in that even
the issue for trial will be more clearl
defined

NEED NO MORE ROUGH RIDERS.
Regiments Provided for by Congress
Not Likely to Be Organized.

Washington, July 13.-Adjutant Cen
eral Corbin today said that no one had
been authorized to enlist any of the
three rough rider regiments provided
for in the volunteer act. 1t would re-
quire the presidents express direction
before any step could be taken toward
raising those regiments.
The impression given by General
COrbin's remarks was that there is lit
tie likelihood that the regiments will
be organized
