Notwithstanding was sustained, a two
thirds vote for adherence not having
been secured In connection with this
matter communication was received
from the park commission requesting
that the paving of this section of Edge
wood avenue be deferred as the com
mission was contemplating extending
the Riverside Drive across EdgeWood
avenue, so that the driveway will pass
underneath a bridge to be erected on
the avenue.
The board concurred in extending an
invitation to the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers to hold its next con-
vention here.
During the meeting City Sheriff
Hume kept a watchful eye on the mem
bers to see that none escaped and left
the board without a quorum. He
guarded the doors carefully and when
he was obliged to leave for few min
utes he notified President Miller who
requested Councilman Walsh, who is a
deputy sheriff. to see that no members
left the chamber.
AT the close of the meeting President
Miller explained why he had appointed
three members who favored asphalt as
members of the conference committee
on Temple street paving. He referred
to section 6 of the rules, which require
that on conference committee only
members shall be appointed who voted
in the major vote of the board. The
counciImanic majority voted for asphalt
and so three men who voted with the
majority Were appointed on the confer
ence committee.
In explanation of his not sending out
warrants for absent members at the
previous meeting when there was no
quorum he referred to section 1913 of the
charter which provides that such war
rants can be issued only when ordered
by vote of the members present and
at the meeting referred to no such vote
was taken. ..

The engine and apparatus started up
the Edwards street hill and the engine
was stuck in attempting to get up the
steep incline. The other apparatus had
trouble also, but the chemical engine ar
rived in time to get in some effective
work. The steamer finally arrived, and
the water with the chemicals soon eX-
tinguished the flames after the fire had
burned for about half an hour.
The room, half of which is used as a
Photographic laboratory and half by
Mr.. Smith as a living room, was badly
Quilted. AS it happened there was little
apparatus in the laboratory, and no seri-
Gus damage was done. Mr.. Smith lost
all his personal effects in the room. The
fire also extended into the attic. The
room below was badly drenched with
water. DR.. Elkins places the damage at
$500.
The fire is supposed to have started
from a gas jet. The big telescope is in
another building, and was in no way
affected.
The apparatus for the southern trip
was water soaked, but not injured to
any great extent as it was packed up
preparatory to shipment, and the trip
will not be delayed.
At the fire one of the instructors lost
coat containing a gold watch and
$50, which We're burned.

Philadelphia, Sept. 80. - Josiah r.
Adams, a prominent clubman and poll
tician of this city, committed suicide in
a fashionable hotel in the center Of the
city yesterday. His wife was in an
adjoining room when the deed was
committed. She knows of no reason
for her husband to have taken his life.
He had given no intimation of such an
intention nor left any note to show
that the act was premeditated. The
couple had been living at the hotel for
some time. Mr.. Adams was about "
years old, and a year ago was the
nominee of the Republican party for
judge Of the superior court of Pennsyl-
vania. His candidacy met with much
opposition from his party.

There is such thing as too much
realism. They are trying to have a
David Harum Day" at Tullay Lake
Park, near Syracuse, where the ia
nous "hoss trade" scene is to be read
by a professional impersonator. But
the farmers In that region who were
buncoed by the real David, and who
have never seen the humor or the
merit in the book, are vigorously pro-
testing, and the chances are the day
will not be held.

WILL END QUIETLY
And the Men VIII Return tn Work
without Making Any Fuss.

New York, Sept. 80. The Herald
says: "One of the men, who have par
ticipated in the plans for the settle
ment of the coal miners strike and is
familiar with all the facts and atten-
dant circumstances, said in an inter-
view last night: The rumors that ne
gotiations looking to a settlement of
the strike are off is untrue. My be-
lief Is that the strike will come TO an
end early next week. 1t will not be
ended by hlare of trumpets or by
sweeping general order, but by the
men quietly going to work in colliery
after colliery. day after day, at the 10
per cent advance. There is no inclina
ton to recognize Mitchell in any way,
but as a matter Of fact the miners de-
serve the 10 per cent advance, and they
probably would have obtained IL any
how when the question first came up
IL SO many of the different boards of
directors of the mining companies had
not been away on their vacations
Prices for anthracite coal in this
city dropped 80 or rs cents per ton, in
dicating that the end is In sight, and
the rush of the retailers to buy from
the wholesalers Is almost entirely
stopped"

strike remains unsettled. Reports OF
conferences Of mine operators and OF
leading officials of the coal carrying
railways were plentiful. Beyond the
general statement that the subject un-

generally expressed the opinion that
The increase could not be granted and
The operating expenses met unless
there was an advance in the price OF
coal. The larger operating companies,
however, took rather a hesitating view
Of the proposition to further increase
The price of anthracite, contending

Mine workers is reticent on he general
question of accepting a 10 per cent in
crease without other concessions, and
declined to be interviewed on that
point. Meantime the strike leaders are
continuing their efforts to induce
working miners to join the strike.
