THE FACTS in THE CASE.
Explanation of the Terms and Con-
ditions of the Three-Year
Repair of Repairs
Contract,

The three-year repair-of-repalrs con-
tract with the Barber Asphalt COM
pany about which such a senseless ado
is being made by the gallery playing
press. has no connection whatever with
the ten-year contract at present un-
der way.
The truth of the matter is simply
this: Street Commissioner Dunning
wanted to repair the asphalt paved
streets that were out of bond, and
recommended to councils that instead
of contracting with some company to
keep these streets in repair for num-
ber Of years that the bad spots alone
should be repaired and that the com
pany doing the work should be paid so
much a square yard for the actual
number Of yards of repairs it made.
This plan was approved by coun-
ellis and the Barber company was en-
gagged to do the work. Street Com
missioner Dunning designated the
spots that in his judgment needed
repairing and the Barber company
repaired them. When the patching
was completed the street com
missioner and city engineer measured
up the number of yards of repairs made
and paid the company accordingly. The
cost of the patching amounted to $11,-
000. The Barber company gave a bond
to keep these patches in repair for
three years.
General Manager GrfTiths, of the
Barber company, says that not a sim
gle yard of those repairs is in need OF
re-reparing, and challenges anyone tc
prove the contrary 1t stands to rea-
son, it might be added, that asphalt
with all it's real or alleged faults will
hardly wear out in "a years time, and
these repairs have not been down quite
a wear

MATTER WAS ATTENDED TO.
Substitute Is Acting as Engineer for
the Nay Augs.

When spoken to regarding CHIEF
Hickey's action in directing the con-
troller to hold up Acting Chief Suy-
dams bills, Mayor Moir yesterday said:
THAT thing offers no difficulty what
ever. Mr.. Suydam is not acting in a
dual capacity, as alleged. When he
became acting chief he detailed man
70 succeed him as engineer Of the Nay
Aug company and the successor will
appear on the pay rolls in Mr.. Suy-
dams place. This matter was thor
oughly canvassed before Mr.. Suydam' S
promotion"
Controller Howell has not yet ar
rived at a decision in the matter. I'm
til he has all bills contracted by Mr.
Suydam are held in allegiance.

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE.
Unable to Find Work Thomas
Evans Commits Suicide by
Slashing His Throat with
a Razor.

Thomas Evans, of Olyphant, made q
determined effort to end his life at his
home yesterday morning at 5.S0 o'clock
by slashing his throat with razor.
While his wife was preparing break
fast for her sons, she went to the cell
lar by an outside door. On her return
Evans went into the cellar, his wife
following him.
The door was locked against her,
and when she reached her husband by
the stairway from inside he was lying
on the floor in a pool of blood. a
physician was called and attended him.
Later he was removed to the Lacka-
wanna hospital.
The large Jugular vein was not sew
cred, but the wound covers the width
of the mans throat, and is so deep that
little hopes of his recovery were at any
time entertained. He died at 1 o'clock
this morning.
Evans was a middle aged man, and
had five children. He had been mine
employe, but had been idle for two
years. Idleness made him morose and
prompted his action.

also oddly costumed.
A most pleasing musical programme
was given. Miss Sanction played a

contralto number accompanied by
Miss Richmond, and responded to an
encore with a plantation song. Miss

She was accompanied on the piano by
Miss Sprague. Mr. Bunnell sang two
beautiful solos, one to violin obligato
by Miss Gertrude Sprague.
Mrs. f. G. Hand brought the house
down with her burlesque on an "opera

the effect being due to her unique cos

RE MEDY FOR INSOMNIA.
Sound and Refreshing Sleep Follow the Us
Of a Simple Remedy.


or all the ills to which human flesh is
heir, perhaps the most wearing and
miserable is that inability to sleep,
which doctors calls insomnia. Sleep is
more necessary than food. A man
would perish from want OF sleep sooner
than from lack of food
1t becomes, then, a matter Of the
deepest Importance to know OF some
simple remedy which will seal our eyes
in sweet forgetfulness. Such an agent
has beeen discovered. 1t is needless to
reproduce the letters, letters which
come in hundreds, but we may mention
the case of a lady in Massachusetts,
who for six long years suffered from
nervous prostration and from insom-
mia.
The most famous doctors tried and
tried i'm vain, to bring refreshing sleep
to her tired faculties until at last, un-
der the advice of her physician, for
she was a strict temperance woman,
she tried Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
and now she sleeps as calmly and as
soundly as little child.
The letter ends with the following:
while Mrs. Chase has always been
staunch in her temperance principles
and consistent in practice, she has no
hesitation in recommending to invalids
who need gentle stimulant, Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey."

FRANKLINs HELD SWAY
West Side Was Largely Represented
at the Fair.

The Franklins held sway last night
at the firemen's fair. A very large
attendance of West Siders attested the
popularity of the veteran company.
They were escorted TO the fair by
the Nay Augs, Columbias and Eagles
and delegations from the Hook and
Ladder and Crystal companies. When
the Franklins marched into the ar
mory they went through the fancy drill
which is performed each year at their
ball, and 1t evoked no end of enthu-
siastic applause. The march was led
by Joseph Hall.
Extensive preparations are being
made for the children's carnival Satur-
