BRAVE Nan SAVES HIS
GIRL FRIENDS PURSE

Timothy Burns, a well-known pho
tographer, whose home is in Pittsburg
but who at present is residing in this
city, created a sensation yesterday at
Woodland Beach by leaping from the
steamer Thomas Clyde into the Della
ware bay and saving a girls pocket
book containing money and rings. This
steamer was lying at the pier az
Woodland Beach when he dropped the
young woman's pocketboOk into the
brine. Without hesitation Burns threw
of his coat and leaped into the bay.
He caught the pocketboOk before it
sank and was rescued himself by the
crew. who threw him a rope.
There was a strory going the rounds
this morning that a man sang a song
ITO the passengers and then leaped into
the bay while che Clyde was ON her
down trip. AS this story could not be
verified, it is thought that the report
arose from the pocketbook incident.

MIR. BLAINE Will
NOT SIGN CHECK
City Solicitor Advises PreSi.
dent Of Council Not
to Pay

1t Is not likely that President Blaine,
OF City Council, win sign the check for
the salary OF either Samusl s Adams
Jr., or Phillip l.. Garrett, as assistant
city solicitor. until after Guit is brought
and il is established by the courts who
Is to receive the pay. This action Will
be the result of a conference held with
City Solicitor Reinhardt IN reference
TO the matter. When seen this morn
ing Mn Reinhardt said that he mad ad-
yised Mr. Blaine to follcw the prece-
dent established in the Churchman-
Cochran ease, in which no salary was
paid until the case was settled.
Mr. Garrett who was appointed by
City Solicitor Reinhardt to act as his
deputy, continues to assist In prosecut-
ing cases before the Municipal Court
by consent of Judge Churchman, but
has not been accepted by the court as
the bonafde assistant. Mr.. Adams,
who was elected to the position by City
Council. has not been requested by the
city solicitor to do anything for him.
Mr.. Adams probably will sue the city
in an action to recover his pay.
Following is a copy of the official
letter Of the city solicitor to Mr..
Blaine:
you have asked me for an opinion
as to your signing a check to the order
.of Samuel(S. Adams. Jr., Esq. Tor one
months salary as assistant city solici-
tor.
In reply would advise you not 10
sign any checks to the order OF either
Phillip H. Garrett o. sam
Iuel S. Adams Jr., both OK wnoa
claim to be the assistant city solicitor
until such times as this matter shall
have been decided by the courts.
"Thfs course Of action would be n
accordance with the precedent set by
the Council in the matter OF salaries
OF Hon Philip q. Churchman as mu-
inieirll Judge and Harry p. Joslyn
Esq, as city clerk neither OF whom
will receive any salary unless de
cision in their favor shall DC o3ta'ne
