The ordinance providing for the is
suance of $273,O 900 worth of sewer bonds
was finally passed last evening by Sc
lect council at a special meeting held
for that purpose and a few minutes
after its passage 1t received the sigma
ture of Mayor MOir, who was on hand
for this especial purpose.
There has been a great deal of delay
in securing the passage of this ordin-
ance, it having been kept in common
council for n longer period than was
necessary. The tax levy could not be
made until 1t was passed, as it provides
for a levy of one mill for interest.
which has to be added to the other
levies in the regular tax levy ordin-
ance.
When the bond ordinance had been
passed, Mr.. McAndrew sprung a sur
prise by moving that council re-Consid-
er its action on Thursday night in
postponing action on the ordinance
providing for an additional permanent
man for the Franklin Engine COM
pany When Mr.. Chittendcn heard
this motion he disgustedly picked up
his hat and started to walk out, pro-
testing that there was no further use
for him staying there, but finally de-
cided to return to his seat.
The motion to reconsider was put
and carried and then the ordinance
was passed on third reading. Mr..
Thomas, who introduced 1t, said that
he had found that there was sufficient
money in the judgments and inciden-
tails account to pay the salary of the
extra man.
Ordinances providing for flag stone
sidewalks in the Fourth, Twentieth
and Twenty-frst wards passed third
reading, as did also the ordinance ap-
proprating park receipts for park pur-
poses. In the absence of Chairman
Wagner Mr.. Mccain acted as chair
man last night

ENDED SUFFERINGS
WITH A REVOL YER
Philip Freehorn, of Hampton Street
Shot Himself Early Yesterday
Morning-Heat the Cause.

After many months of suffering and
idleness, Philip Freehorn, a resident of
III Hampton street, ended his life ear
~ yesterday morning with a bullet
from a revolver, death resulting almost
instantaneously. He arose from his
bed while suffering from temporary
ALTERATION of the mind, and before his
wife could prevent him, Freehorn had
gone into ne yard in the rear of the
house, and placed the revolver barrel
in his mouth, the bullet lodging in his
lung.
During Thursday the man COM
planned Of pains in his head and also
suffered from the heat. He retired
about Q o'clock and awoke at 2.45
o'clock yesterday morning, telling his
wife that he heard some one walking
in the back yard. Procuring his revol-
Yer from a desk in the sitting room, he
went into the yard and a minute later
his wife heard a shot.
Becoming frightened, she called In
the neighbors before making an inves-
tigation, and when the man was found
he was lying underneath n shed near
the clubhouse, with the revolver lying
by his side. Coroner Roberts was no.
titled and empar elled jury who view
ed the REL aims. The body was after
wards taken into the house and pre-
pared for burial.
Freehorn was 62 years Of age.
weighed about lS0 pounds, and was a
handsome man of fine physique. He
was born in Germany and came to
this country in 1862, having since re-
sided here. BY occupation he was n
teamster. and from an injury he sus-
tained by being thrown from his
wagon, the cause of his suffering IS
traceablc.
Several years ago. while driving
along Pittston avenue near Maple
street, Freehorn attempted to drive his
team across the street car track while
car was approaching. and a collision
occurred, the wagon was overturned,
and the man was thrown out, sus-
tanning injuries which confined him to
bed for seventeen weeks.
He had apparently recovered, but oc-
casiunally complained of pains in his
head and several weeks ago. while
attempting TO get into a wagon, fell
and dislocated his shoulder. From
that time he was almost helpless and
unable to work, and complained of the
excessive heat of the past week.
Deceased is survived by his wife and
two children, Philip, aged 13 years, and
Annie, aged 10 years. The funeral will
take place at o'clock tomorrow after
noon, and interment will be made in
the Fittston avenue cemetery.
